Award-Winning Tutors from Tufts University

I'm a senior at Tufts University getting my Bachelor's of Science degree in Biology, and I am on the pre-medical tract with aspirations of attending medical school in the near future. In the meantime, I plan to spend a year or two after graduation working in the healthcare/science community in Boston. I have a wide variety of interests both academic and non-academic, which has led me to dabble in a multitude of activities and hobbies in my life. I spend a great deal of time conducting research in a molecular genetics lab at Tufts as well as choreographing/ performing with a student-run contemporary dance group on campus. I think it's incredibly important to be exposed to and aware of the world around us, so I've traveled to various Latin American countries conducting global health research and participating in medical brigades. I am a firm believer that learning can be enjoyable and a source of self-confidence as long as the teaching style is tailored to reflect a student's strengths and weaknesses. I hope that, through Varsity Tutors, I will have a chance to flip on a few lightbulbs for students that feel as if they are scrambling in the dark.

I am a recent Tufts University grad with a degree in chemical physics and environmental studies. I am a dual citizen of the United States and Sweden and apparently sleep talk in both languages. My biggest passion is the preservation of the environment, and I hope to start a career as an environmental scientist. I am currently certified to both prepare students for the ACT exam and tutor mathematics (algebra and pre-calculus), physics, chemistry, and general science. In my free time I enjoy reading, skiing, hiking, cooking, longboarding, sailing, and watching over the top action movies. I do not want to give you the right answers; I want teach you how to find the right answers yourself. That means I will be patient and help you understand the fundamentals of the subject matter. I understand that preparing for a test like the ACT might seem hard, but I want to show you that you have what it takes to conquer the exam.

I'm a graduate of Wesleyan University, Tufts University School of Medicine, the Massachusetts School of Law. Since law school, my focus has been on mediation and am certified in family, divorce and general mediation. My focus throughout my life has been on music and education. I have extensive experience with public speaking and writing. I've written blogs, a book and many articles that have appeared in magazines and professional journals. I've also done public media work and been on the radio and TV. Some of the highlights of my career has been to use these experiences to help kids in need and help other people learn to write and communicate in a way to help other families and kids in need, too. For music, I've been playing the saxophone since elementary school. I love finding new ways to be creative and have conducted jazz ensembles in college as well as a musical. I've written music and love helping other students learn music theory. My true passion is in helping people learn to play the saxophone. I play in concert bands in Massachusetts and love finding ways to continue to help new players continue to learn. In fact, I still call my old teachers to help me when I want to grow more and am currently learning a new instrument the classical guitar. The wonderful adventure of music is there is always a new challenge. I can't wait to help you find your goals whether it be writing, public speaking or music. I've spent my life diving into those areas and look forward to helping you dive into those oceans and explore those areas with you.

Hi there! I am a graduate of Tufts University. I studied International Relations and Sociology with a focus on Latin America and Data Analysis respectively. I have tutored students of all ages in subjects ranging from English, to Math, to History. I have tutored students who speak Spanish and English and feel comfortable working in either language. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about History (Of all varieties), Environmental Science, Social Sciences, and English Writing improvement. I love working with students and finding the best way to help someone learn!

I am a second year student at Tufts University. Currently, I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a Bachelor of Science in Physics. While I have primarily tutored science courses in my past 2 years of experience, I am also confident in my ability to assist students with other areas such as reading comprehension, organization, writing skills, and mathematics. All of these additional areas are critical in the field of engineering and physics, and my in-depth education has provided me with the skills to assist students best in any of these areas.As a tutor who enjoys helping students learn and grow, I believe that the strongest tool to helping students develop their skills is by first allowing them to develop a passion and confidence for their goals. My tutoring style include a variety of approaches, all of which integrate each of the following and more: confidence that the student has the ability to grow, interest in the topic to help students self-motivate to learn, and genuine comprehension of subject matter over memorization.Outside of academia, I am very involved with the music community. I have been writing original music for 7 years and enjoy playing music with peers in various style bands. I also have a great love for the outdoors and spend much of my time on hikes or paddle boarding at the local lake.If you are looking for a confident and highly qualified tutor who will guarantee 100% commitment to students and their personal academic development, I hope to get in contact with you soon!

Born in Chicago, educated in Boston, and living in New York City, my heart belongs to Paris. I majored in French Literature and cross-cultural visual arts, and spent my junior year abroad in the City of Lights. I lived with a host family, attended La Sorbonne and wrote for a French fashion publication. It was an entirely immersive experience, and I got to the point where I was not only fluent, but thinking and dreaming in French. The ultimate goal for any Francophile, and one that continues to this day.I am a cultural sponge and an aesthete to the core, and have travelled to 25 different countries. Immersing yourself in another culture is the best form of self-enlightenment, and a passion I share through my teaching.I am a writer by trade, and wrote a slang, style and culture guide to Paris - Parisienne French - available in bookstores, boutiques and Amazon worldwide.Nothing makes my heart sing more than fostering that enthusiasm for the language and the culture in my students!bientt!

In high school, standardized tests did not come naturally to me. With an A average in all AP and honors classes and an overflowing list of extracurricular activities, it frustrated me that something like one test score could affect my college admissions. But like most challenges in my life, I viewed it as motivation. I took a course, got private math tutoring, took practice tests, and came up with essay prompts. Ultimately, I got a very strong score, ranking me in the 96th percentile. I have since graduated cum laude from Tufts University with a BA in English and minors in Art History and Media Studies.As a member of the National Honor Society and Peer Leaders, I decided to use my experience to help others. I knew there had to be other students out there who were extremely bright and simply didn't excel at standardized tests. I began tutoring for the SAT, specializing in the verbal and writing sections. It was an incredible feeling to coach students through this test and watch their scores climb. I later had that same satisfaction on a personal level when I tutored my younger brother throughout his SAT preparation. He is now finishing his freshman year at his top choice university and he could not be happier. In addition to private SAT instruction, I tutored English and History throughout middle school and high school, as well as test prep including ISEE, SHSAT, SSAT, and TACHS.I think my own struggle and ultimate success makes me a stronger tutor than if it had been easy for me from the start. I understand the roadblocks that come up in certain students' heads. Not everyone's brain works the same way and I think it is extremely helpful to be able explain things from different anglesto translate this language of the test or textbook.I have a real love of learning and my background in English and performance (I am a freelance writer and actor) reflects my passion for communication.

Tutoring is much more individualized than larger classes. Each student can receive help based on their individual needs, making learning faster and more efficient. Accounting for each student's personal strengths and weaknesses makes tutoring far more personalized, fulfilling, and enjoyable. Standardized tests and science courses are my strong suit since those are areas where I have extensive research experience and can explain concepts clearly.I am a current Tufts undergraduate science major with experience teaching K-12 students. Additionally, I tutored students in reading comprehension, essay writing, and algebra. I also taught programming and coding lessons classes to control NAO robots and use Scratch to create movies or games.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Sussex in Brighton, U.K., where I received an M.A. in Modern and Contemporary Literature, Culture, and Thought. I received my B.A. in English and History from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts in 2011. Having grown up in Alabama, completed an undergraduate degree in Massachusetts, and a Master's in the U.K., I have tutored students from a broad range of backgrounds in an even broader range of subject areas. I have worked with students in subjects ranging from History and Government to Reading, Writing, and Grammar. I am passionate about helping others to realize their academic potentials, and I believe that my most important responsibility as a tutor is helping my students to develop the reading, writing, and critical thinking skills that will allow them to excel in all subject areas.

My experiences as a multilingual poet with 20+ years of facilitating workshops in person and online, as a college professor of English composition and literature (6 years) and college admissions counselor (4 years), I have a wealth of resources I access in order to tailor my teaching and tutoring to the students who work with me. First, I actively listen and intensively read. Then I reflect back the strengths I learn through what students share with me. No two students are alike; that is why I believe in different learning pathways to arrive at the same destination: success!

Arjun Reddy (he/him/his). Howdy! I graduated cum laude with a Bachelors in Neuroscience and Pre-Med. I am currently in graduate school pursuing my Master's. I tutored all types of students in Chemistry, Physics, and Math. I tutored privately in high-school mostly to middle-schoolers and other high schoolers in science and math. In college I tutored students through the university's tutoring center for three years before tutoring privately again in my last year. I've seen students who've never taken a course before to those who are coming back to school after working or serving in the military.While in high-school I realized I had a knack for explaining subjects and concepts in many different ways, often relating them to students in new analogies or different aspects. In this way I was able to communicate concepts, thoughts, and material more effectively. I've always been the type to help out other students in need and am often the person people reach out to for quick tips. The way I have advanced and polished this trait and the techniques I use over my college years as a tutor working for both the university as well as privately.I like to ask my students questions to see how much and what they know before diving into problems. When we do problems, I like to work a few out with a student and explain what I'm doing in each step and why. Then I slowly hand the reigns off to the student to work through the problems more and more independently while explaining back to me what they're doing. This way I know the student is learning the material properly and will be able to work without my help in the future. Of course this method can be adjusted to fit each students individual needs.I'm always excited when I see a student's eyes light up with the excitement of learning a new concept or finally being able to solve a problem they couldn't before. I like the challenge of hard questions and explaining hard concepts. I'm easy to reach and respond relatively quickly so don't hesitate to shoot me a line!

I am currently a graduate student at Tufts University School of Medicine. As a former biology major at Boston College, I have extensive experience in Biology as well as other science courses. Outside of tutoring I enjoy exercising and skiing. I also enjoy exploring new restaurants with friends.

I am currently a masters student at the Tufts Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy specializing in international law and international security studies. I also am an LSAT prep course teacher for Kaplan International. Personally, I have scored within the top 5% of test takers on the LSAT.

I'm a recent graduate of Tufts University who just completed an internship with the speechwriting company West Wing Writers. I'd love to help you with writing assignments, test preparation, and any classes in the humanities!

I am a recent Chemistry Ph.D. graduate with a 7 month break before starting in my next role in management consulting. As the most enjoyable experiences of my career to date have been in teaching and mentoring, I am spending the intervening period tutoring!I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry from MIT, where I was a Presidential Fellow and a Dept. of Defense Graduate Fellow, and my B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Tufts University, Summa Cum Laude with Highest Thesis Honors. Over the course of my scientific research career I have produced 14 research publications, given 12 talks at international conferences, including the largest annual Physics, Chemistry, Materials, and Chemical Engineering conferences in the world, and have received 8 awards, totaling over $300k, specifically in recognition of my research accomplishments.As both an undergraduate and graduate student I have also taught, tutored, and mentored students. At MIT, I won a Graduate Teaching Award for thrice-weekly recitations of Intro Chemistry and Physical Chemistry at MIT; students consistently outperformed their peers in 5 other sections (higher average exam grades on all 4 exams and 9/12 pop quizzes, by an average margin of 5 grade points). As a graduate student, I have mentored over a dozen undergraduate students individually in their research, academics, career planning, and time/workflow management.Alongside my scientific career I have pursued an interest in business, leading to my pending employment as a Management Consultant. I took a full year of Management Science coursework at MIT's Sloan School of Management, including Microeconomics, Marketing, and Competitive Strategy. I applied that education to consulting engagement both freelance and through MIT. I have worked with a $16b Chinese state-owned enterprise on Sales force organization design, a $27b glass manufacturer on market entry into OLED lighting market, and a healthcare software startup on business model development. In those engagements I worked alongside graduate students from MIT and other international schools, and on several occasions presented findings to the senior management of the client firm.In addition to being a Native English speaker, I have studied Japanese for 7 years, including 3 years of college-level coursework and a 6 month stint working in Sales for a $17b semiconductor manufacturer in Japan.No matter what your background and challenges are as a student, I look forward to working together with you!

I am a middle school computer science teacher, as well as a recent graduate in mechanical engineering and physics. I love science, and I love teaching, which is why I've decided to become a tutor and share my love of science while I can practice teaching. I can help out with math, physics, computer science all the way up through college level courses, so feel free to reach out if you need any help!

I am great at building rapport with students and figuring out what they need, especially with small groups of students or 1-on-1. I have a lot of educational theory knowledge thanks to my master's degree from NYU in TESOL and Foreign Language Education, and I've put that into practice during my teaching: elementary ESL and high school Japanese and English/ESL. I've also taught English in elementary schools in Japan, and worked online and in person with kids and adults in ESL and Japanese. I have experience tutoring for standardized tests as well. I believe that we can work together to construct knowledge instead of just lecturing at you while you memorize facts. I want to help you learn, grow and realize your own potential!

I received my Masters in Business Administration in strategy and sustainability from Vanderbilt University and am a graduate of Tufts University, where I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a focus on communications. I spent two years working in corporate communications and three years working at the NYC Department of Education in the administration, helping to implement education reform programs for NYC public schools and improve the quality of education for all students. Although I am available to tutor in a range of topics, I am most passionate about English, writing and essay editing, as these skills have proven most useful in my education and career path. I believe that academic success begins with goal-setting, organization and building confidence through engagement and success. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, yoga, running, spinning and spending time with family and friends.

I am an undergraduate at Tufts University studying Community Health with a minor in Mandarin Chinese. I am involved with various organizations on campus, including the Mental Health Representatives and MARCH (Maternal Advocacy and Research in Community Health). I am passionate about providing academic support to students of all levels because I know every student can succeed with the right support system tailored to their specific needs. I passionately tutor English (poetry, essay writing, reading, literary analysis, comprehension), Mandarin Chinese, elementary and middle school math, and American history. In my free time, I enjoy poetry, spending time with friends trying new cafe's, and taking long walks on the beach. I would love to help you learn!

I am a rising junior at Tufts University, where I am receiving a BS in Computer Science and Mathematics and an MS in Computer Science. I have worked for my local elementary school, created bootcamps for students with classmates, and took on many students in my own time. As such, I have worked as a tutor in both private and group settings for students from all walks of life, whether it be editing college essays or navigating common core math with third-grade students. However, I do have a preference for teaching students privately, as I believe everyone learns in a different manner and different pace. As a result, I am always adapting the way I explain concepts to play to the student's strengths and contextualize the information in a way that is easily understood by them. I am most passionate about Computer Programming, English, and Math. I also went through extensive standardized testing training, and find that helping students see a numeric improvement in their standardized testing score is uniquely rewarding!

I tutor students in both the Math and English portions of the PSAT, SAT, and ACT exams. I also tutor the subjects of Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra II, and AP Calculus AB. Currently, I am a rising junior at Tufts University working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics. I have over 3 years of experience in peer tutoring high school math. In addition, I have tutored over 50 students on Varsity Tutors in the past 2 years. It brings me joy to tutor students because I am able to help them grow in confidence and in their understanding of new topics.

I am a graduate of Michigan State University, where I studied Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Humanities. I am currently enrolled at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, where I study Development Economics and International Monetary Policy. I have worked as a Teaching Assistant, 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.

I am an Occupational Therapist with a background and interests in psychology, english, and math. I studied Psychology and Foreign Affairs at the University of Virginia and have a Masters of Science in Occupational Therapy from Tufts University.I have been an educator since I was in high school, I loved tutoring kids of all ages. As I grew older, my passion for teaching drew me to the outdoors where I taught snowboarding and outdoor recreation skills. Teaching is one of my favorite ways to share my knowledge and help others succeed, and I am so looking forward to working with you.

Hi there! I'm Stuart, a native Texan turned Brooklynite excited to get involved with your learning journey. As someone who grew up with a learning disability (ADHD heads make some noise), tutors helped me at every step of the way in my academic life, from kindergarten to university. I'm a firm believer that everyone can if they're given the chance -- that's what I'm here for! I've spent a cumulative 16 years studying and speaking Spanish, including 6 months of living and travelling in Latin America.

Computer Science and Entrepreneurial Leadership Studies Student at Tufts University

I am a graduating senior seeking to attain a Bachelors of Arts in Economics at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. Next year I will be working at Oracle based in Burlington Massachusetts. I am also pursing a minor in Computer Science and Child Studies and Human Development. In high school I was a volunteer tutor at my middle school where I tutored students one on one in overall homework help and subjects like algebra and earth science. In college, I am apart of Tufts Tutoring where I tutor local Medford High School Students. I also have a year experience tutoring students in Physics on Varsity Tutoring. I have tutored three students in overall homework help, Spanish, and physics. Even though I have tutored students in a wide variety of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor in are science and math. These are tough subjects for all students and subjects that I have struggled with in the past. Being able to help students like me that feel frustrated in science and math in school and in standardized testing gives me great happiness. Education and learning is so important and valuable and being able to help students through the tricky parts of it gives me great joy.

I am a recent graduate from Tufts University, graduating last semester - Fall 2013 - as an early graduate. I received my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, focusing on MEMS systems. Currently and while at Tufts, I have been working for the Center of Engineering Education Outreach Center. I am currently involved in a project helping students from Indonesia learn engineering concepts and fundamentals using LEGOs.I enjoy tutoring students in all levels of mathematics and physics. As an engineer, I understand the need for young students to be scientifically literate and capable. I love helping struggling students understand mathematical concepts that they didn't believe they were capable of learning. In my free time, I thoroughly enjoy climbing, hiking, and running.

Tutoring has been a passion of mine for many years. I began tutoring in high school, where I tutored my peers in algebra, geometry, and Spanish and met weekly with a third grade girl to help her with her math and reading homework. I loved everything about it; it was so rewarding to get to know each student and watch them grow more confident in their abilities to tackle their schoolwork and problem-solve on their own. It was fascinating to witness the ways different people think, and I loved the challenge of adjusting my tutoring style accordingly. This passion led me to pursue a career in making education more effective for all students.To pursue this goal, I majored in cognitive science and minored in child development and computer science at Tufts University. My major taught me about how the brain works, and how it learns most effectively. With this background, I bring scientifically tested learning, memorization, and studying techniques to my tutoring sessions. I also minored in child development to better understand how brains learn differently across the lifespan; as a result, I understand ways to tailor my tutoring practice to the age of the student I'm working with. For example, the brain becomes much better at thinking abstractly over time as it becomes able to hold more pieces of information in mind at once. Thus, when tutoring younger children, it's helpful to rely much more on pictures and other visuals so the young learner doesn't have to maintain all the information from the discussion in their heads. My minor in computer science stemmed from my desire to pursue a career in educational technology. Technology can make learning more interactive and engaging for students no matter the subject, and I am interested in designing software that makes the learning process fun. Next September, I will begin working toward my Masters in Computer Science at Northeastern University to work toward this goal.After my tutoring experiences in high school, I had numerous experiences tutoring learners of all ages, from preschoolers to adults. I spent my first year of college tutoring preschoolers in reading comprehension and alphabet knowledge; I served as the curriculum writer and head teacher of a computer programming camp for children aged 4-7, using the ScratchJr programming language; I was a writing tutor for three years as I worked with other Tufts students on their term papers; I taught introductory Spanish classes to adult men who were immigrating from Africa to Spain; And lastly, I was a T.A. for a statistics course in my senior year of school, where I helped college students learn statistical concepts as well as the programming language R. All of these experiences are detailed in-depth on my resume.Of these experiences, I would have to say that my work tutoring writing and computer science have been my favorite. Both subjects offer a lot of room for students to put their own, personalized touch on their work, which lends itself well to my personal tutoring style. I ask students a lot of questions during tutoring sessions rather than simply telling them the answers, as this helps guide students to develop thought processes they can use to problem-solve on their own in the future. In addition, it helps the student talk through the material and reveals where they may have some misunderstandings. There are many right ways to write a program or a paper, so when I tutor subjects like writing and computer science, I get to make these questions more open-ended and help students let their creativity flow. This is harder in subjects like math, where there is only one right answer, but I still enjoy asking students questions as we puzzle through challenging questions and plan out approaches to word problems together. No matter the subject, I view myself as a partner to the student as they make their way toward mastery of the material.I look forward to working with you!

I'm a master's student studying Civil Engineering hoping to design buildings one day. I've always enjoyed Math and Science and hope I can help you enjoy it too!

I'm currently a medical student, with a PhD in biochemistry/immunology/chemical biology. I'm interested in biology, biochemistry, and the development of new drugs for disease, particularly blood cancers. I have years of academic and research experience in genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, and organic chemistry.

I am a first-year medical student at Hofstra University in Long Island, NY. I received my Bachelor or Science in Biopsychology from Tufts in 2022. I have focused on teaching and tutoring throughout middle school, high school, and college, and have worked with students of all ages. I believe deeply in teaching that not only focuses on academic content, but also empowers students with the tools and strategies they need to be successful learners in the long-term.

I am currently studying Civil Engineering and Computer Science at Tufts University. Degree expected May of 2016. As the oldest of three siblings, I have spent a lot of time huddled around math and science textbooks, explaining concepts and helping my brother and sister see problems the way I do.I believe strongly that the student gains nothing from the tutor who does their work for them, so I go out of my way to make sure each student understands that grasping the concepts is much more important than solving the individual problems.Besides working with my siblings, I also have experience teaching swim lessons, volunteering in classrooms, and tutoring High School students.My favorite subjects to teach are Math and Computer Science. Outside of academia I am interested in basketball and music production.

As a lifelong student of science, I have learned the beauty of a deeper understanding of material. As a tutor I have made it my primary goal to help students realize the value of learning not only the material, but also the importance of the material in the bigger picture. This goal has driven my passion for teaching all throughout my life. For the last few years I have experiences teaching both large student classes through enrichment programs, as well as a breadth of one on one tutoring experience both in SAT prep and in my topics of expertise (High School Math and Physics up to Multi-Variable Calculus and Physics C). My favorite subject to tutor is AP Physics I, as it is incredibly exciting to be a part of a students deeper realizations about the physical world around them. I am a current sophomore at Tufts pursuing a double major in Computer Science and Physics, both of which I draw from in my tutoring philosophy. While I am a firm believer that each student requires a strategy specifically tailored to them, I have found that there are a few general strategies that students respond well to. I make it a point to ensure that students understand the conceptual jump from material they are comfortable with to the material they are currently learning. This makes it possible for them to both understand the material on a deeper as well as have a better idea of the direction they are going. I also subscribe to the theory that a relaxed environment is critical for a students learning, so I prioritize creating this environment in my tutoring sessions. Outside of academia, I am passionate about playing/performing/composing music (singing, piano guitar etc) and am a member of both the Ballroom Dance Team and the Table Tennis Club at Tufts.

I have been an educator all my life, but formally taught for 5 years in Washington D.C. both public and public charter settings. I followed my heart into the classroom and instruction after pursuing a Political Science degree from Tufts University and a Masters of Public Policy & Management at Carnegie Mellon University. Since my high school days, I have worked with students of all ages, tutoring in mostly elementary reading, writing and math, as well as test prep for SAT and GRE. My favorite subject to tutoring is reading, given you're learning so much content while perfecting the skill of comprehending and taking in the content.Outside of the classroom and tutoring, I love to run and travel. I'm an outgoing person that enjoys meeting and learning from new people!

I'm an engaging and experienced teacher of Art History and essay writing skills. I hold an MA in Art History from Tufts University, where I worked as Head Teaching Assistant for the introductory Art History courses. I also have 3+ years of experience working as a museum educator in New York City and elsewhere.I live in Providence, RI with a sweet tan dog named Nelly. In my spare time I like to bake, ride on the local bike paths, and relax with reality TV shows.

I graduated from Tufts University, where I studied History and Economics. I love to learn languages, travel, and help others. I have a straightforward and concise teaching style.

I have been tutoring in some capacity for over 6 years now and have loved the opportunity to watch the different subjects click in my student's head. I have a mechanical engineering degree as well as a minor in architectural studies from Tufts University. I tutor in almost all STEAM subjects, but my absolute favorite is Middle School and High School math. My goal is to find the teaching style that will help my students learn the material and prepare them for future lessons/teachers/learning situations.

Hi! I'm a student at Tufts University studying Biology and Public Health. I love teaching, and I'm so excited to work with you!My teaching style is mostly about building strong foundational knowledge, filling understanding gaps, and using those skills to develop higher-level thinking and understanding that's often found on tests.My goal is to make sure you understand every concept clearly, so we can go at whatever pace you need to get you where you need to be!

I received my education at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. I majored in History and Spanish language and attained a B.A. in both of these subjects, graduating cum laude in 2012. I have since gone abroad to teach English in Madrid, Spain, and returned to get my Master of Library and Information Science at Rutgers University with an expected completion date of May 2015. I have tutored on and off since high school, mainly in Geometry, Chemistry, and History. When I went abroad, I not only taught English in school, but tutored it on the side as well, mainly to students who were having trouble and who were looking to get ahead. I am totally devoted to the student, not willing to give up when things become difficult to understand or explain. I believe I am good at making students really care about the subjects that they are learning, not just learn it for the sake of the test or their teachers. I tutor many subjects, but would have to say that my greatest passions lie in Spanish, History, and Chemistry. I would say that my greatest strengths as a tutor lie in my ability to give perspective on a subject and in my ability to learn as I teach. In addition to tutoring, I greatly enjoy tennis and reading, and I am an avid movie buff.

I am a student at Tufts University, studying English and International Relations with minors in Economics and Spanish. I have extensive tutoring experience in reading, writing, and other English related topics from 2nd-10th grade. I also have experience tutoring children who do not speak English as their first language, and I speak conversational Spanish. I believe that the subject of English is not an inherent talent, but can be learned with effort and hard work. I strongly believe everyone can learn to enjoy reading.
