Award-Winning Organic Chemistry Tutors serving Somerville, MA

...am most motivated in tutoring science and math subjects especially those related to medical school admissions and NBME examinations. However, I have years of prior experience teaching and tutoring science and math at the middle school and high school level, and am comfortable with that content as well. I have worked with children and teens extensively as a lifeguard, swim instructor, and certified CPR/AED/Lifeguarding Instructor during high school and college. Education is one of my...

...my most rewarding, fun, and consistent passions throughout my life. I started tutoring in high school and continued throughout college and now beyond as a working professional. It is hard to match the joy and satisfaction one receives from helping hard-working students achieve their goals and surprise even themselves at how much they can learn and improve. I specifically enjoy tutoring "scary" subjects such as chemistry because where others see an obstacle, I see an...

...develop test procedures for lithium ion batteries. Somewhere along the way, I discovered that I really enjoy working with other students and sharing what I've learned. I started off tutoring a couple of neighbors in high school. Now I work with classes of up to eight. I prefer the smaller setting so that it doesn't feel like I'm assuming the role of a teacher or a professor. My areas of specialization are broad. I enjoy...

...have worked for 7+ year in the biotech industry at the forefront of chemistry and biology. What I have learned is that skills in chemistry and in science apply to many different fields. Many things I learned in undergraduate I didn't think would be relevant and turned out be very relevant to solve complex problems and I believe showing the importance of what you learn and how it applies to real life is very important.

...through undergraduate levels, guiding them in subjects like Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Marine Science. As an experienced researcher, I have worked on diverse projects, including water quality assessment, dolphin behavior analysis, and microplastics' impact on marine ecosystems. These experiences allow me to enrich my tutoring sessions with real-world applications, fostering curiosity and critical thinking. In addition to my academic credentials, I am also a former D1 Track and Field athlete, love scuba diving, play piano,...

...principles, they can apply them to many different, and more complex, problems rather than just the ones they have already encountered. Since graduating, I worked in Clinical Informatics until completing my obligatory 6-month active-duty training as an Army Reserve Officer at Ft. Sam Houston, TX. I recently moved up to Boston to study Health Informatics at Boston University. In my spare time, I enjoy reading books (scientific non-fiction, literature and science fiction), watching quality films,...

Hello! I am a freshman at Boston University studying Biochemistry. My passions include instrumental and vocal music, hiking, and reading. I'm excited to meet you!

...teaching philosophy is I like to establish a good rapport with students and ensure that they are having a fun learning process. This manifest in the form of banter or jokes embedded so that the tutoring feels more interactive rather than someone talking at you. I like tutoring to be a setting where students can feel comfortable asking questions so any knowledge gaps can be filled. I know the importance of studying hard, but also...

...Hills Foundation. I have a straight-forward teaching philosophy which applies to each student as an individual learner. This helps to identify and clarify misunderstandings in the process rather than stumbling over information. I am able to teach in English and Writing, as well as across most maths and sciences, including Organic/Inorganic Chemistry, Biology, Statistics, Algebra, and Calculus. I strongly believe in lifelong learning, and try to practice that philosophy daily. My other passion is music,...

...my double major, I have a wide range of interests and passions, and these correlate with the subjects that I enjoy teaching. I have always enjoyed the STEM subjects the most, specifically physics and chemistry, but I believe in the value of building a strong foundation in the basics of these subjects beforehand through fundamental understanding and focusing on the basics of these fields. I do however enjoy teaching history and politics, as well as...

...am a junior at Vanderbilt University majoring in Neuroscience and Medicine, Health, and Society on the pre-med track. I am passionate about learning and I am very excited to be a tutor to share that passion and make learning more fun and accessible to students who may be struggling or just need a little extra practice. While I plan to tutor a range of subjects, I especially love math, biology, and chemistry.

Chemical Engineering major. Currently studying for engineering exams and looking to share my knowledge.

...of realization. In my past, I have tutored students for the SAT and the MCAT. I served as a TA at Berkeley for the general biology lab course where I assisted in teaching lectures and contributed to writing the lab exam questions. Also, I have been recently accepted into medical school (so I've learned quite a lot about the application/interviewing process). While my specialty is biology (perfect score on MCAT biology section), I am well...

...the subject. My teaching philosophy is that not one person is the same, everyone learns differently, and everyone is capable to learn, they just need to be pushed in the right direction. There is more than one way to get to the park, as a former teacher of mine put it. Essentially, there is multiple ways to teach a subject as well as solve a problem. I chose to tutor once I started graduate school...

I am currently a second year Biology undergraduate student at Northeastern University with a diverse foundation in science. For me, the study of medicine piques my curiosity, specifically cardiology and neurology- both of which I hope to pursue in the near future.... I believe in the power of practice. I think the most effective way of teaching is a brief overview with a big emphasis on practicing problems.... I would get to know the student’s strengths...

...do so whenever I can. I am a very outgoing and friendly person, which translates well to working with students. I do my best to understand where the student is coming from and work from there. Currently, I am a student at Northeastern University, but I also work with people with disabilities in a marketing setting. I can tutor Math, Science and English, and I would love to help you anyway that I can!

Consistently my students say I clarify the most complex problems, transforming impossibly tedious and confounding coursework into an exciting and manageable challenge. I do this by relating the latest discoveries and personal anecdotes to the subject matter, making the ancient, esoteric theories tangible and fresh. When I am not reading and writing about science,...

...completed a year of AmeriCorps. As an AmeriCorps member I was responsible for leading an after school science program, an opportunity that allowed me to create hands-on creative lessons and gain more experience tutoring and teaching. I tutored as an undergrad, and I absolutely love science (and math too!) I have taken a multitude of science courses as an undergrad and throughout medical school and feel very comfortable with most science based subject areas.

...called Chance tutoring, In this role I tutored middle and High school students in subjects ranging from statistics to SAT prep. I also taught two Chemistry 101 lab sections. In addition to my teaching experience I scored a 41 on the MCAT as well as a 1440 on the SAT(don't remember my writing score). I tutor MCAT because I understand that studying for the test can often seem like a steep mountain to climb. I...

Teaching is my passion. When I am not tutoring for Varsity Tutors, I work in medical research. I love the idea of helping patients feel better and especially kids. If I had to say something about my outlook, it is that I am thankful for what I do, privileged to be part of so many lives, and hopeful that my skills will make a difference.
