I am a science writer and podcaster with a rigorous academic background who is passionate about sharing my knowledge of chemistry with curious minds. I earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry and Asian art history from UC Berkeley and completed a PhD in inorganic chemistry at MIT. I have five years of experience teaching college-level general and organic chemistry courses at various institutions in California, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas, and hope to expand on my experience as a private tutor. Often a required subject for other classes, chemistry is often considered "the central science" as it's related to biology and physics, and I appreciate that chemical principles can be observed throughout daily life from cooking to medicine to electronics. I believe that education is the world's greatest social equalizer and hope that my students learn to make new connections between classes and other aspects of their life. Outside of science, I love dogs, food, and the outdoors.

Lainie
BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology
6+ Years Tutoring

I'm a junior at MIT studying Biological Engineering. I've been tutoring for six years in multiple subjects, most extensively in math but also in reading comprehension, chemistry, and biology. In high school, I qualified for the AIME and MIT's Math Prize for Girls and won the award for achievement in mathematics in my high school class of 400. These achievements make me uniquely qualified to teach both competition and academic mathematics at most levels. In fact, I have experience successfully tutoring a wide age range of students, from age 4 to 17.At this point in my life, I like to use teaching and mentoring to make a difference in my community. I am currently president of MIT SHINE for Girls, a math and dance outreach program at MIT that invites middle school girls from under-served school districts to campus once a week to dance and learn math. I really enjoy forming a mentor-mentee relationship with a student and building their confidence, showing them that they can achieve more than they ever believed. For that reason, tutoring has been both my job and my hobby for the last six years. I look forward to getting to know new students and working with them collaboratively towards their goals.

Together we will find the right pace for your sessions and I will help you better understand the material.Outside of tutoring, I am an actor/composer/lyricist who loves to write new showtunes. Musical theatre is something I have grown to love, and the love, surprisingly, stems from my own devotion to cartoons and video games. But, make no mistake, while I can often be found watching an episode of Justice League, playing Smash, or giving the City of Angels score another listen, I will always put you first.

I am going to start undergrad at MIT in the fall of 2022 with the aim of majoring in linguistics. I have tutored elementary and middle school students in violin for four years, in addition to casual tutoring in history, writing, and languages. More important than helping my students reach the right answers is helping them ask the questions that will lead them to answers. I learn best when I find an aspect of the subject I'm studying that I'm passionate about, so I try to help my students find curiosity for the given subject. I enjoy tutoring violin, writing, and math the most.

I graduated from MIT in June of 2016 with a Bachelors degree in Chemical-Biological Engineering and a minor in Public Policy. I tutor in a wide variety of areas, but specialize in high school and college math and science, as well as test prep. I've been teaching in some capacity since I was in high school; first tutoring peers in math and science through National Honor Society, then providing more informal one-on-one help to fellow students at MIT. I've also worked extensively teaching swim lessons for the past five years, particularly to beginners. Both in and out of the pool, I believe that a good lesson is one where the student is doing the thinking. I teach interactively, asking questions, listening to students. explanations, and probing students to produce the correct answer for themselves. I want to model thinking and questioning strategies that will allow a student to be successful without a tutor; I endeavor always to work myself out of a job. When I'm not tutoring or teaching swim lessons, I enjoy reading (especially mystery and crime novels), distance running, and long walks with my chocolate lab Snickers.

Many of my students have not taken relevant quantitative courses for years and have forgotten much of their fundamental math skills, but after working with me for a short time, they are able to achieve great GRE quantitative scores. Students also enjoy my approach to the verbal section, where we work on decoding the questions and narrowing answer choices based on the type of question. I focus on a strong understanding of the concepts being tested as well as on test-taking skills. After working together, all of my students feel more comfortable entering the exam and sure of their own abilities, and nearly all of my students end up meeting or exceeding their original score goals.

As an MIT student, I possess the knowledge that is needed to tutor not only my peers, but anyone who needs assistance in the subjects I offer. Speaking of which, the subjects that I find most comfortable teaching are: SAT Math, Algebra I or II, Trigonometry, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus I, II, or III, Differential Equations, Chemistry, Physics. When I say that I feel most comfortable teaching these subjects, all that means is that I have the most experience teaching these topics. That is not to say that I cannot and don't want to tutor in other subjects.My experience in teaching and tutoring stems from even before I was a math peer tutor in high school. As an older brother to an ambitious teenager, I've found myself helping my brother out in his math homework and answering his questions with detailed and thorough explanations. I have experience tutoring people that I have just met, along with people I have known for many years. As I moved on to my college career at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I have found that collaborating is one of the main keys to succeeding. Chemical Engineering, my major, is one of the most difficult fields to pursue, and it requires the abilities of communication, patience, and perseverance. As a result, I am a team player with vast patience.In terms of my teaching methods: I am a scientist first. I have done many competitions such as the New York Science and Engineering Fair and so I am used to presenting my research projects in a concise and understandable way. I am skilled in breaking down difficult topics into bite sized pieces of digestible information. This way I am showing, not telling. I believe it is super important for the student to actually understand the information instead of just being able to regurgitate ideas and answers for a test. I hope to help you out!

Frequently Asked Questions

Tutors who attended or graduated from MIT bring exceptional academic credentials and deep subject expertise. These tutors have completed rigorous coursework in their fields and demonstrated mastery of complex material across engineering, mathematics, science, and other disciplines. Beyond their MIT education, many tutors have additional experience in their fields, whether through research, industry work, or years of teaching. When you work with an MIT-educated tutor, you're learning from someone who has successfully navigated some of the most challenging coursework available.

MIT tutors understand the level of rigor and problem-solving skills needed to excel in advanced subjects. They've learned how to break down complex concepts, recognize common misconceptions, and teach material in multiple ways—skills they developed while mastering their own challenging coursework. This background allows them to anticipate where students struggle, explain concepts from different angles, and help students develop the strong foundational understanding needed for success in competitive academic environments. Additionally, these tutors often understand the specific culture and expectations of selective colleges and institutions.

MIT tutors are particularly strong in mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, and computer science—the core subjects that define MIT's curriculum. However, many MIT graduates are also skilled in economics, biology, standardized test preparation, and college-level writing. The MIT curriculum requires students to master fundamental concepts across multiple STEM disciplines, so these tutors often bring interdisciplinary knowledge to their teaching. Whether you need help with calculus, organic chemistry, programming, thermodynamics, or test prep for competitive exams, you can connect with a tutor whose background aligns with your needs.

Learning from an MIT graduate or student offers unique advantages: you benefit from someone who has solved difficult problems at the highest level, understands how to approach complex material systematically, and knows what excellence looks like in rigorous academic settings. These tutors can share insights into effective study strategies, how to approach problem-solving in STEM fields, and how to build conceptual understanding rather than relying on memorization. If you're preparing for college, working toward a selective program, or pursuing advanced studies in science and engineering, an MIT-educated tutor can help you develop the thinking patterns and skills that lead to success in these fields.

Yes. Tutors with MIT backgrounds understand what selective colleges look for and can help you build strong foundational skills in STEM subjects. If you're aiming for competitive universities or preparing for advanced courses like AP Calculus, AP Physics, or IB Higher Level subjects, these tutors have lived experience with that level of material. They can help you develop problem-solving strategies, learn to explain your reasoning clearly, and build confidence with challenging content—all skills that strengthen both your academic performance and your college applications. Many students benefit from working with someone who has navigated similar academic paths.
