Award-Winning Trigonometry Tutors serving Waltham, MA

...Research Assistant, and as an Actuary, and have a particular passion for teaching Mathematics. When tutoring I try to include visualizations and real world examples whenever I can so that it does not feel like a fruitless exercise. I help students reach their goals with a two-pronged approach: reinforcing and building upon strengths while targeting weaknesses. In my free time I exercise, play the piano and volunteer with the Jewish Vocational Service.

My teaching style is flexible and student-centered. 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...

...attended an all-male boarding and day school for high school, and was given a lot of opportunities to pursue advanced coursework and opportunities that weren't available to 99% of students in the area.

While I tutor a wide range of subjects,...

...a wonderful thing, and it should not be difficult. I believe it is my job to explain this to someone who is struggling with learning something new, because all complex things in the universe is built up on simple concepts/structures. The only best way to learn is by both teaching and learning. One of the great things the Islamic prophet Muhammad used to say, "The best among you are the ones who learn and teach...

...subjects ranging from basic arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and SAT Math and subject tests. Depending on students needs I would plan lessons ahead of time and provide materials for them to practice concepts on their own, or just assist with their homework.

During my undergraduate program I was a teaching assistant for a few introductory courses...

...of Boston, MA. I am passionate about STEM and introducing these subjects to students as early as possible. At first glance, STEM learning may seem intimidating, but early and consistent exposure is key to tackling it later on in students' learning careers. Outside of academia, I like exploring museums and pop-up exhibits. I have also found that a stroll around the neighborhood calms the busy mind and recommend it to anyone in need of a...

...problems that the world faces but this would definitely be a start. As Wade Boggs said, ???a positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results???. That being said, I look forward to the opportunity that will present itself through this company for me to contribute my own little quota. As a tutor, I understand that not every student is the same thus...

..."Let Children Learn" tutoring students in rural areas of the country. These included students who could not afford to go to school and worked on their own in small groups in order to achieve their educational goals.

This has offered me a wide diversity as I have worked with students from several countries...

Math and science are what I love tutoring the most, but I also have experience tutoring in English reading and writing primarily for ESL students, Korean, and standardized tests.

...gave me a very well rounded approach to learning physics. I found that the research was exciting and I truly enjoyed the problem solving aspects of it but where I really thrived was when I was helping others learn about a subject I am so passionate about. I helped teach classes for public outreach, assisted with public events at our observatory, tutored and was a teaching assistant. Outside of my academic interests I teach horseback...

...Physics and a minor in Philosophy. Looking to go to grad school in January or next September and have taken the GRE (preping to take the specialized Physics GRE in October). Math has always been somewhat intuitive for me, but once I got to college I knew I needed additional help. I know how much an outside perspective can help solve a frustrating problem and understand how important patience is in learning concepts that are...

Hello! I have been a mathematics teacher for over 10 years, teaching many subjects ranging from basic math through Calculus and various age groups ranging from middle school through college. This has allowed me to become very experienced in teaching and helping students to understand and excel on their own. I have recently become a mother and hence now spend the majority of my time and energy entertaining an infant.

...have two younger siblings-- one in elementary school and one in high school-- so I feel comfortable teaching all ages! WHY I tutor math: To me, I don't really see math as an academic subject, but rather an art form. It is a universal language that everyone knows how to speak, regardless of who you are. Math is definitely NOT an easy subject. In fact, I struggled with it too. I want to teach my...
