I will work with each student in a way that I believe they will be most receptive to. I will help them understand how a word problem relates to a...

Hi! I am an engineering student at Northeastern University who loves helping people out with all subjects. Standardized tests are just a game against the clock that we can improve in so many ways. ... I have two philosophies. 1. Practice makes perfect. 2. There's an angle to everything. I think there is always more than one way to approach a problem, and typically the test tries to make you think you need to take the...

...effort but from a lack of individualized teaching. I know this because I was one of those students who processed information differently from my classmates. Since everyone has different ways of thinking, teachers in a classroom cannot compensate for every individual. However, I will work with students to teach them individually in a way that makes sense to them. Outside of tutoring and studying, you'll most likely see me on the soccer field. As a...

I'm currently studying computer science at Northeastern University. I have a full year of experience tutoring high school students outside Varsity Tutors. Working with students is rewarding because there is nothing better than helping someone else understand a difficult concept. We've all had those "aha!" moments, and it feels great to guide someone towards finding that.

...calculus and physics with calculus. This is simply because I think these subjects are the coolest subjects, and also there's so much beauty in the things that we study. All motion in the entire universe can be expressed through mathematics. How cool is that?? I have a very laid back teaching style, and by that I mean I teach the fundamentals and do the example problems, and the rest I guide the kids to come...

...especially drawn to topics that combine logical reasoning with creativity, such as algebra and problem-solving strategies, and I enjoy helping students uncover the underlying structure of what they're learning.

I aim to listen carefully, identify where understanding begins to break down, and offer clear, intuitive explanations that help students reconnect with the material. I strive to model the kind of curiosity and persistence I want to inspire in...

I believe learning should be an enjoyable and empowering experience. I always aim to create a...
