Award-Winning Tutors from Boston University

A strong proponent of providing quality education for all, I have devoted my career to advancing the field of education by providing support and services to students of all ages. With experience teaching at the K-12 level, counseling college students, and working directly with international students in the college admissions process, the breadth and depth of my education-related professional training will allow me to support any student's learning journey. I obtained my master's degree in education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, specializing in higher education administration, and my bachelor's degree from Boston University, where I studied sociology and Spanish. As a lifelong musician, I aim to bring my own creativity to energize the learning process with my students, making the experience of mastering new material memorable and enjoyable.

Hello everyone! I have been tutoring people, both in elementary school, and in high school, since I was in high school myself. I continued to tutor students in college in biology courses. I enjoy tutoring other students because I like being able to teach the knowledge I have learned in my classes to others so that I don't forget anything and can also pass it down to others.

Hello! I am a Finance tutor with four years of experience in teaching undergraduate and graduate students in Accounting, Finance, and related subjects. I have a Master's degree in Financial Management from Boston University and have several years of professional experience in the financial services industry. I held FINRA Series 6 and Series 63 licenses that allowed me to market financial products to retail investors. I also passed all three levels of the CFA Institute exams on first attempts and had earned my CFA charterholder designation.I have a solid understanding of financial statements (balance sheet, income statement, cash-flow statement) and its relationship to company valuation, as well as various financial models such as dividend discount, discounted cash flow or free cash flow models.My goal is to help students in all levels of Accounting and Finance to succeed in their course works and exams through developing a strong foundational understanding of fundamental concepts instead of rote memorization. I will go the extra mile to make the learning experience enjoyable and interesting. I am compassionate, patient and will provide a positive environment that will be built on support and encouragement.

As a member of the graduating class of 2021, I am a junior at Boston University and plan on attaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I graduated high school as the top 10% in my class and with Regents Diploma with Honors. I started tutoring since I was thirteen years old and thus, I have experiences teaching adults and children from different age groups. I have taken math courses up to Calculus II and received A's in all the math courses I took. As a native Mandarin speaker as well as a past teacher's assistant in the language class, I learned to develop the most effective way to teach my native language to a student who is new to my language. I believe that education is the key to success, but a well-developed, trusting relationship between a tutor and a student can transform lives. I had helped a struggling high school student be college ready and pursued his parents, whose primary concern is academic, to allow him to continue to be the lead member of the basketball team in his school. In a large classroom setting, I intervened in bullying situations and ensured that every child feels welcome in the classroom. I serve as my student's friend, educator and mentor. As tutors, I believe that we not only need to give the students the knowledge they need, but also need to provide them a warm, welcoming environment that promote the learning process. In my free time, I enjoy giving back to my community. I volunteered at a dog shelter and read out loud picture books to kids with reading disability. I am also a dancer and an amateur photographer.

The reason I want to be a tutor is because I like to help students achieve success in a difficult subject such as math. I want to show them even though it is a subject of great difficulty, math can still be learned. To learn math is to learn the approach and steps to the problem. The most important thing is to understand why the approach is taken this way or another way. Math is an interesting subject as there are many routes to solve a problem. My goal is to show the quickest/efficient way for students to understand easily and sometimes I will create inventive ways to help students possibly memorize formulas or solve the problems. I hope with each session that each student can learn at least on tip/strategy/concept of the math topic being taught. With that said, the same can be done with chemistry. Chemistry is about a quarter memorization, but more importantly three-quarters understanding. Once any student understands the concepts of a chemistry topic, memorization becomes easy. With chemistry, I will often relate the concept to real life so this way understanding can be much easier. My goal is to definitely guide each student to the desired grade he or she wants.

Hi! I'm Allie. I graduated with a degree in philosophy and am excited to help you with any philosophy related questionslogic, history of philosophy, etcor any questions on writing, grammar, editing, and essay materials! I graduated top of my class, work as a writer, and have 5 years of tutoring experience, specifically in writing and English literature. I hope to meet with you and help you in any way I can!

I am a graduate of Boston University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with a minor in Biology, and a Pre-Medical concentration. Given this, my academic knowledge is obviously eclectic. In the past few years following my education, I have discovered a passion for teaching and currently work as an Instructor for Seven 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, as I play guitar and piano. Otherwise, I enjoy spending time with friends and simple moments of relaxation.

I am a current medical student in Boston. I previously worked for 3 years as an English teacher and journalist in Rome, Italy. My diverse experiences in life as a teacher, student, researcher and writer have granted me the perspective to see how many different learning styles there are, and how each and every student deserves individualized attention to reach their maximum potential. Whether it be preparing for the MCAT, writing an application essay, or learning basic english grammar, I promised to approach every lesson with the patience and attention that you deserve!

I have always been passionate about physics and mathematics, and I have always been passionate about teaching. Students of all varieties deserve a quality education in these subjects, whether or not they intend to pursue careers in science.I have done some degree of teaching and tutoring for over a decade, though I began to do so regularly in college. From 2007 to 2009, I tutored and occasionally taught math classes at the Minnesota Internship Center, a charter school in Minneapolis, MN that primarily serves Somali immigrants. During this time, I was also a tutor for the Macalester College Department of Physics and Astronomy, where I obtained my B.A. in physics and mathematics in May 2009. In 2009, I was a private tutor in calculus for two different students.From September 2010 through December 2011, I was a teaching assistant in introductory physics courses at Boston University, where I obtained my Ph.D in physics in May 2016. This teaching encompassed typical introductory material (Newtonian mechanics and basic electromagnetism) for a variety of skill and interest levels, both calculus and non-calculus based. From January 2014 to June 2015, I was a volunteer tutor at Beacon Academy, mainly for algebra, for motivated students attempting to enter competitive high schools who did not have the financial means to do so without scholarships.As I've mentioned, I obtained a B.A. in physics and mathematics from Macalester College in May 2009, and I obtained my Ph.D in physics from Boston University this past May. I will soon be entering another degree program at Boston University, this time for a masters degree in teaching. Teaching and tutoring are not a side interest to me - I aim to be a career high school teacher.I am qualified to tutor physics up through the GRE level, in addition to all the required mathematics needed for such physics. My favorite subject to tutor is probably calculus, at virtually any level. I love the way it combines basic ideas - the derivative is the slope of a function at any given point, the integral is the area underneath a curve - with real mathematical rigor, and seeing students connect to these concepts is a delight. Calculus is essentially what got me interested in physics in the first place, and applying it to basic concepts such as the relationship between position, velocity and acceleration is another great way to test students' understandings.My basic teaching philosophy is to let the students figure it out for themselves as much as possible. Physics in particular must be learned through constant practice and interactivity. I am happy to provide hints and steer students in the right direction, but only in such a way that they eventually arrive at the answer themselves.Outside of academics, I have pretty typical interests. I enjoy playing guitar, listening to music both live and recorded, going for long walks, and reading for pleasure (although even these books tend to be academic - just not in physics!).

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and Statistics and Economics from Johns Hopkins University and a Master's degree in Biostatistics from Boston University. My academic background has given me a strong foundation in both quantitative reasoning and analytical thinking, which I bring into every tutoring session. I'm passionate about helping students build confidence in their abilities and enjoy guiding them through challenging material by breaking down complex concepts into clear, understandable steps. With over five years of tutoring and teaching experience, I've worked with students across a wide range of subjects, including middle school math, Algebra I & II, Geometry, Precalculus, AP Calculus AB/BC, AP Statistics, and college-level courses like Calculus IIII, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, and Statistics. I also specialize in standardized test preparation, offering targeted support for the SAT, ACT, and GRE math sections. Beyond math, I tutor economics at both introductory and advanced levels, including Introductory Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, Microeconomic and Macroeconomic Theory, Monetary Analysis, and similar courses. I enjoy helping students connect theoretical models with real-world applications and develop a strong understanding of core economic principles. My tutoring style is patient, supportive, and highly personalized. I focus on fostering deep understanding and critical thinking, tailoring my approach to fit each student's individual learning style and academic goals. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading, staying active, and exploring emerging technologies.

Originally from the Boston area, I completed my undergrad degree at Georgetown University in Washington where I focused on Marketing, International Business, and Spanish. I have lived and worked in Boston, Spain, Belgium, Washington, Brazil, and Afghanistan. I completed an MBA in Finance and International Management at Boston University in 2012 and am recently back in the Boston area again. I enjoy traveling and adventure.

I have a strong academic and working background in English, French, and the Classics. I graduated from Boston University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Latin and a minor in French.I am an editor, writer, and journalist and publish articles in English with international publications online about cultural diversities in the arts worldwide. I travel all over the world and work often in Francophone countries where knowledge of French is essential.I am most enthusiastic about teaching English to students of all ages. English is a fantastic language to study and provides a passport to great opportunities in education and work all over the world.I am pleased to say that one of my best students of English from grade school through college, graduated from Harvard (with honors) and went on to Harvard Law School.

I have taught the SAT, SSAT, AP Biology, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry for 2 years. I love teaching students HOW to learn, not just WHAT to learn. I always emphasize hard work - because you always get what you work for. I don't care about natural intelligence, because trying your best and being persistent is the key to learning and improvement. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the student understanding a concept for the first time.

As a tutor with a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering from Boston University and a Bachelor's in Astrophysics and Psychology from Tufts University, I bring a strong academic background to my teaching. With over 2 years of experience in mentoring and tutoring, I specialize in subjects such as Algebra, AP English Language and Composition, Essay Editing, and High School Physics. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to communicate issues, explore their interests, and ask questions. I am passionate about helping students develop critical thinking skills and fostering a love for learning.

I'm a research assistant at a foreign policy think tank in Washington, DC. My work focuses on political transitions, military conflict and the economic development of the Middle East, Turkey, Iran and the Caucasus.I was born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon. I studied at a French private school and graduated with a French high school diploma (or le baccalaurat franais). I went to Boston University in Boston, MA for my undergraduate studies where I majored in Economics and International Relations. Thus, I am native in Arabic, Armenian and French, fluent in Turkish and have an intermediate fluency level in Azerbaijani and Farsi (due to my upbringing, background and education).I'm very passionate about teaching languages, European and World History to students of different levels and ages. I can also help you prepare for the GRE as I have studied for it extensively in preparation for my graduate school applications. I believe that patience, hard work and dedication in conveying the message to the student pays off at the end and is a very rewarding experience for the tutor and student at once.

As a professor of writing at Florida International University in Miami, FL, I have extensive experience in working with students on their academic writing assignments, as well as editing written projects for those in need of such assistance.Over the past five years, I have also worked closely with students in comprehending the oral and written conventions of English, and I've taught English as a Second Language to Spanish speakers.In 2011, I graduated from Boston University with a master's degree in writing.I look forward to working with you on your writing projects. Thank you!

Through my work as a tutor and teaching assistant in the past four years, I have gained a significant amount of experience working with people of various ages, aptitudes, and study habits. In this time, tutoring has grown into a great passion of mine. I enjoy seeing my students become increasingly more confident in their academics.As a patient, personable, and enthusiastic tutor, my philosophy on teaching has always been that fun is the best motivator. Learning should be an enjoyable and enriching experience. I also believe that answers should not be readily given. To truly grasp a subject material, students need to engage their critical thinking and problem solving skills throughout the learning process.No one ever said that learning and studying would be easy, but I am confident that I can help ease the process for other students and even make it fun along the way!

I received my B.S. in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology from Emory University with a minor in Spanish. I am currently working toward my M.S. in Medical Sciences at Boston University School of Medicine. In college, I worked with a high school student, for his 9th grade year, focusing mostly on his biology and writing assignments. I was a research coordinator at the Marcus Autism center where I worked with very young kids (ages 2-9) with and without learning disabilities. We worked on general school-related skills and any homework they brought. In my master's program, I did a lot of group study. Frequently, this meant teaching a group of my peers who needed to see the material presented in a new way. I love learning and I want to help others love it, too. Throughout my studies, grades never just came easily to me. I was constantly working at getting better and trying to figure out how to solve problems in many different ways. With this type of experience, I want to help other students who may be struggling with a concept to get to a place where they see how fun and rewarding it can be to really understand the material. I tutor a wide variety of topics; however, my favorites are biology and anatomy. Biology is so exciting for me because it is the foundation for all of life, and helps us understand the world we live in. Anatomy is great because you are living in your own cheat sheet (your body)! When I am tutoring, I want to hear or see my students' thought processes. It's great if you can get to the right answer, but truly learning means knowing how you got there. So, I love having my students teach the concepts back to me. Outside of school, I play slow-pitch softball and I love to cook and bake.

I am a senior at Boston University working toward a Bachelor of Arts in biology with a specialization in behavior. This past winter, I studied tropical ecology in Ecuador for four months and one of those months was at a research station in the Amazon rainforest. Aside from my field studies, I have interned at several zoos and aquariums, including Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens, with a wide range of species and with the mission of using education to improve the relationship between people and the animals with which we share our planet. I am most passionate about ecology, life sciences, and psychology, but I believe that a well-rounded education is incredibly important and that any subject can be made applicable to any interest.A fair combination of hard work and fun is my standard for life and for teaching. I like to help students use their strengths to help balance and improve weaknesses. As a previously anxious test-taker myself, I know firsthand how challenging standardized testing can be, but I can share valuable strategies to help a student reach his or her full potential.In my spare time, I enjoy playing the cello and singing, hiking, kayaking, cooking, and practicing American Sign Language.

Hello! I'm Andi. I have over five years of teaching experience, including: as a peer tutor in graduate school while I worked on my Master's in Public Health, as a teacher's assistant for Chemistry in high school, as a teacher's assistant for Biology and Chemistry in college, and as a forensic science teacher at a pre-collegiate summer camp. I have worked as a researcher at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. I am a first year law student at Northeastern University. I will be working as a first year legal writing TA in the fall, so happy to help with any legal writing questions. I love teaching and hope to help you succeed, whether in your preparation for the LSAT or in your biology or chemistry class. I hope to work with you!

To start, I am a Korean-American originally from a small suburb near Los Angeles, California. My educational history includes a major in General Biology and minor in Psychology from the University of California, San Diego, as well as a Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree from Boston University. My educational interests include anatomy and physiology, kinesiology, neurobiology/psychology, algebra, and child and adolescent psychology. My personal interests vary from cooking to hiking to watching and playing just about every sport possible.I have had many years of tutoring experience in both a class and 1-on-1 setting. My longest experience involved tutoring a group of 10-12 7th and 8th grade students; which included but was not limited to completing schoolwork, preparing for STAR testing, and providing additional quizzes and questions when necessary. I have also had several years of part-time tutoring jobs for children in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th grade, with additional experience in 1-on-1 tutoring with 2 SAT students.My experience with teaching stems from not just an instructor's perspective, but also as a student; attending after school tutoring from the age of 13 to 17 years old. I believe this is one of the reasons I can connect to students so easily, because I understand the difficulties with learning. My tutoring sessions involve a very interactive approach on the part of the student with a reward based approach for their efforts. This is my way of promoting student interest in the topics of study, to prevent monotony and boredom with school work. I like to try to incorporate games into my tutoring sessions that may include topics they have learned; whether it's a memory card game, jeopardy, or a simple game of hangman.As your tutor, I will do my best to not only help your student excel at school, but also find fun in learning.

I am a 2015 graduate of Boston University, having received a BA in Biology with concentrations in cellular and molecular biology with genetics. During my enrollment, I participated in graduate level classes at the medical school, participated in on-campus research, and completed my studies after just 3 years. I've always had a love for biology but that is not my only area of specialty. Math studies from elementary levels through calculus are one of my strong points as well. I believe that with my tutoring, as well as my organizational tools and study aides, anyone can be a successful student.

"Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach." -Aristotle For over 10 years I have tutored high school math from Algebra through Calculus. I have even helped students with the new Pre-Calc AP exam since its inception 4 years ago. I give easy, step-by-step methods to solve problems for maximum understanding, retention, and confidence building. I utilize a variety of media in lesson materials including worksheets, pics, memes, and videos. My most important assets are my calm demeanor and sense of humor. It is important that the student feels relaxed and comfortable. I am a Magna cum Laude graduate of Boston University and continue to study a variety of subjects from history and science, to mythology and philosophy. I believe good grades are attainable by all. It comes down to identifying how each student learns and applying different methods and techniques that the student responds best to. That is the strength of individual tutoring.

I have always been passionate about teaching. I am the oldest of 4. In the summer when I was young, we would play school, and I would be the teacher. At Boston University, I earned a BA in Latin/ French and Education. I then traveled to the University of Michigan where I held a teaching fellowship position in Latin while I worked on my MA in Latin. I no longer have a formal teaching position. I have spent many years teaching Latin, but I also have been able to spend about 9 years working in elementary schools with K-5 reading and writing. I loved doing that and feel very competent to tutor in those areas. Right now, I tutor 6 nights a week. I believe in being kind but firm with students and getting to know them as people besides just as those I tutor. I am a retired teacher of more than 30 years' experience in about 6 different states. I have done tutoring all along the way besides being in classrooms. I especially enjoy seeing beginning Latin students advance to competency and learn about the Romans, etc. while studying their language. I have worked with students from 3rd grade through 12. I taught college Freshmen at the University of Michigan. I was also am licensed as a k-12 librarian because I love reading and the organization of a good library.

I received my Bachelors in physics and astronomy from Boston University and Ph.D. in particle physics from University of Massachusetts Amherst. During my Ph.D. studies I was a teaching assistant for introductory physics classes, leading lab and discussion sessions as well as working one on one with students. My focus in tutoring is math, computer science and physics, anywhere from introductory high school classes to graduate level quantum mechanics and GRE math requirements. Though its not my primary focus, I would also be happy to help high school students in U.S history classes. I have a deep passion for history, and in high school I got 5 on the AP US history exam and 800 on the US history SAT subject test. My teaching philosophy is to focus on developing problem solving skills and intuitions that should be applicable to any field the student chooses to go into.

Hello! I am an incoming dental student at Boston University. I received my bachelor of science in Human Biology from UC Santa Cruz and my masters of science in oral health sciences from Boston University. During undergrad, I tutored college students in molecular biology and after graduating I became a middle school instructor. I enjoy helping students and making difficult material easy to understand. In my spare time, I enjoy crocheting, playing with my cat, running and exploring different cafes in the city I am living in.

I am a retired corporate instructor and for the past ten years a professor at New York University (NYU). Education has been a lifelong passion which I pursue, in part, by tutoring individual students from late middle school through college. I'm married and have three grown children and a couple of very special grandchildren.

I am a recent graduate of Boston University where I received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with dual concentration in International Management and Health and Life Sciences. With a deep passion for education, I have spent the past several years tutoring students in Math, History, and English. I have had the opportunity to travel extensively and during my time studying aboard in China, I was fortunate enough to have the chance to tutor Chinese students. As a student enrolled in a Chinese university and a tutor to Chinese students, I have gained a deeper understanding of different education systems. This has reinforced my passion and belief that there should be a mutual appreciation for education.While I enjoy tutoring students in a broad range of subjects, I am most look forward to helping students realize their own potential and supporting them to reach their personal goals. I have grown to love the challenge of working with students and the personal relationships that I am able to build with them. Understanding students on an individual level builds trust and gives me insight to their learning style. When I am not traveling, I enjoy reading that challenges my perspective, swimming, cooking, and watching football.

What's up! I'm Hayley. I am a registered diagnostic medical sonographer that's an absolute nerd when it comes to ultrasound. I have a BS in diagnostic medical sonography from the Rochester Institute of Technology, as well as a MS in Health Professions Education from Boston University. I am currently in a full-time ultrasound education role at a major health institution. I specialize in high-risk maternal-fetal medicine, general adult and pediatric ultrasound, and while I am no longer at the bedside I have a pretty vast and diverse clinical background. If you're looking to crush your boards, I'm your girl! I'm knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to sonography, but I'm also an experienced educator committed to constructively work with you to achieve your goals.

I graduated from Boston University in 2013 with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and a minor in Business Administration. While completing my Biology degree, I focused primarily in cellular and molecular biology with respect to humans, though I have completed other biology coursework in Marine biology and animal behavior as well. For my major, I took classes in physics, as well as general and organic chemistry. Following graduation, I traveled briefly before starting work for a biopharmaceutical start-up in Philadelphia. Hopefully, my next step will be getting into medical school. While I can tutor in many of the natural sciences due to BU’s curriculum and my recent completion of the MCAT (which also includes a verbal reasoning section!), I love sharing my knowledge of biology with people. I find the way the human body works fascinating at all levels, from atomically, to macroscopically. I particularly like tutoring biology because there seems to always be something more to learn or further understand. Through collaborative effort and learning, understanding the very principles and functions of our own bodies can be easy and fun! Beyond science, I love the outdoors and hiking, and am also huge sports fan. I still play ice hockey and am know to sometimes get absorbed in a good tv show or movie on a Sunday afternoon.

I am a 2021 graduate of the University of Connecticut. My degree is in mechanical engineering with a biology minor. This fall, I will be attending Boston University to obtain my Ph.D. in mechanical engineering. I have experience tutoring students in mathematics, science, and standardized tests.

I recently completed a Ph.D. in Consumer and Family Economics and Consumer Behavior at Purdue University. I have extensive experience teaching and tutoring undergraduate students in various courses in economics. I love helping students learn new topics through simple and relatable examples. I try to create a friendly environment for my students where they can succeed in their learning journey.

I love teaching for 2 reasons: I love talking about the subjects that I teach and I love seeing other people become interested in the subject. Math and science is a seemingly scary and unapproachable subject but it doesn't have to be. It should be fun and it should be inspiring. I graduated at Sharon High School In Massachusetts and I am currently attending Boston University studying Physics and Math. I tutor upper level Physics and Math, namely AP Physics C Mechanics, AP Physics C E&M, AP Calculus BC/AB, and the other AP Physics courses. I do have experience teaching little kids from ages 5-12 as well. My favorite subjects to teach are 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 the conclusion on their own. I believe that the best way to learn is through trial and error.

I am a current student at Boston University studying Computer Science with a minor in Philosophy. I have an extensive history tutoring coding, math, writing, Chinese, and piano. I've tutored students from ages nine to twenty-two. Although I tutor a wide range of subjects, my favorites are coding (python and java) and writing/English. My goal is to make learning a positive and fun experience, while also making sure that the student learns as much as possible.

First things first- I love learning!As someone who's worked with foreign languages for a number of years, I have extensive experience from both sides of the language learning sphere- teaching and learning. My training in Linguistics has given me a deeper understanding of the inner-workings of both Language and the brain with language acquisition. This expertise helps me take a more logical, natural approach to language learning- something so many language teachers these days seem to miss!By keeping lessons interesting, practical, and engaging, I am able to help students gain confidence, learn to think IN the language, and learn the tools to develop their own language capacities.

I am an instruction librarian at a university in Boston and a former classroom teacher. I hold a degree in education and a degree in English language and literature, as well as a teaching license from the state of Massachusetts.My experience in and out of the classroom, as well as my study of educational theory and practice, informs my teaching. I believe in combining evidence-based practices with a personalized approach to customize content, strategies, and materials to help each student learn best. The brain is always learning, and I do my best to help facilitate that process by collaborating with my students to make our sessions engaging, informative, and (dare I say it?) fun.

I currently work as a School Counselor in a local high school while also tutoring students around the Boston area. In what seems like a previous life, I worked as an Assistant Director of Admission at Brown University, my alma mater, reading applications, meeting students, and giving presentations across the country. I have also taught SAT Prep to students both individually and in classroom settings. My favorite color is blue and my favorite ice cream is cookies and cream.

I am a graduate of Boston University, with a bachelor's degree in computer science, and New England School of Law | Boston, with a law degree. I am a practicing attorney, but my passion has always been to teach. I have taught children, friends, colleagues, clients, and subordinates throughout my life and it is the single most enjoyable part of my job. I strongly believe that, teaching a student the "why" of something is far more important than simple memorization; it is this understanding of the material that helps the student apply the theory to a completely different fact pattern. While I tutor students in a broad range of subjects, my passions are towards reading/writing and mathematics. In my spare time, I enjoy creative writing, reading, football/hockey (cheering loudly, not participating), and strategy games.

I hold a degree in English from Boston University and just finished my second year with Teach For America. I moved to New York to study drawing and architecture, but my passion for education remains. I believe that students need to learn how to ask the right questions so that they can navigate the increasingly sophisticated world around them. This belief informs my teaching style; I act as a guide for students rather than someone dispensing information. Nothing is more enjoyable than the look on a student's face when he or she has just realized that he or she can solve a problem without anyone's help. When I'm not tutoring, I love walking through New York for design inspiration and taking carpentry, metalworking, and illustration classes.

As a current International Relations student at Boston University, I am passionate about education and communication, which drives my commitment to tutoring. With experience in teaching AP English and Spanish, I focus on building students' confidence through tailored lessons that align with their individual learning styles and goals. My teaching approach emphasizes engagement and accessibility, utilizing diverse methods such as visual aids and hands-on activities to enhance comprehension. I believe in empowering students not just academically, but also in developing their motivation and enthusiasm for learning. Being fluent in Spanish, I am excited to support students in mastering both language and literacy skills. In my free time, I enjoy being active on the varsity crew team, which has strengthened my leadership and teamwork skillsqualities I strive to bring into my tutoring sessions.
