With six years of engineering education, I have learned and excelled in math (basic math through differential equations). I love teaching math and helping students understand in a way that works best for them. I bring patience and enthusiasm to help students build their math confidence! I enjoy watching as students solve problems and become more confident in their skills. Many who struggle with math believe that they just won't ever get the hang of it. However, more often than not, many just haven't learned math in a was that makes sense to them....

Hi! I’m an incoming med student with a biology degree from Georgetown University and a passion for helping students through challenging courses. I’m happy to tutor anyone in science and math, especially classes like (AP) Biology and Chemistry. I am also happy to tutor college students working through pre-med requirements. I have also found success in helping students with their college application essays to selective universities. I’ve been tutoring for about 7 years and I’m rated 5 stars on my previous platforms!

I'm a Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering student at MIT. The world class education has taught me how to understand concepts at a deeper level and helps me teach to very deeply understand my student. Teaching students has always been a lifelong passion. I know how it feels for a concept to finally click, and I strive every minute to get that feeling in every one of my students. Many of my students started with failing grades and I have helped them achieve A's and B's. My goal is your child's success. I am very qualified at teaching math and physics and also offer college prep....

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.
