Liza Fridberg Tutoring
About
My service stands out because I am a current student, so I am still in touch with the subjects that I am teaching, as well as the difficulties of being a student. As I am studying neuroscience, I bring a unique understanding of the learning process which aids me to better myself as a teacher. In addition, I have been teaching my whole life, so I have developed an arsenal of tools and imaginative ways to explain ideas. Teaching is a passion of mine and I love bringing understanding and success to my students!
I love connecting with my students and sharing my love of a subject with them! Through my work, I've found that it is always possible to make a student understand if you explain in a way that speaks to them, and I love finding the specific methods for each student.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Depending on the student's age, level in the subject, and goals, I generally develop a plan and a pace at which I would work with the student and/or the parent. For the first session I would generally have a student show me what they would usually do on their own and show them some strategies to better their work. I am extremely flexible so it is mostly about finding what works for the student and helping them get better at a certain subject by engaging their interests into it.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been teaching in a daycare for the past three years, which pushed me to become extremely creative at explaining concepts. I also babysit and provide homework help on a regular basis. In addition, over the summer I work as a counselor at a math camp in New Hampshire and Israel where I tutor kids in English and math. Currently, I attend Boston University, where I enjoy helping my friends through the challenging pre-medical curriculum.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I am flexible with pricing and the price would depend on the subject, difficulty level, and distance travelled.
How did you get started teaching?
I was born into a teaching family with my aunt owning a huge daycare! While I am not in school for teaching, I love to tutor on the side:)
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with many different types of students, ranging from very little kids in the daycare system to my own peers while helping them prep for exams.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would advise the student to find a teacher that makes the subject come alive for them! In addition, it is important that the student has a goal in mind for the teacher to help them reach, as most teachers have a vast expanse of knowledge on the subject and it will be much easier to find a working routine if there is a clear basis to go off of.
