Ethan
Biology teacher focused on understanding ideas
- $60 / h
- 5 ratings
- Brookline , Massachusetts ( 02445 )
- 30 miles
I believe that understanding comes first and memorization follows. An understanding of the logic behind an experiment or theory tells you the essential facts to remember. Moreover, I shall present these ideas and then ask the student to explain them back to me. Doing so makes for an active learning experience and one that is not easily forgotten. I have experience communicating ideas in biology thanks to my education in the subject and its use later in my career. As an undergraduate at Har... Read more

I am a native of Wisconsin, but I have spent much of my life abroad since I got my BA in French and Spanish Literature from the University of Chicago. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in French-speaking Cameroon, and I did my MBA at HEC, outside Paris. After HEC I was an exchange student at a business school in Mexico City and ended up getting a job working for a Mexican company and staying for six years. Since then, I have traveled extensively in Latin America and have stayed in touch with Fren... Read more

Dear Future Student, I have been teaching young people like You how to write about literature and how to read literature closely for many years; I have won awards of distinction for the high quality of my teaching. I teach how it is to read a text slowly and then to write comprehensively about what has been understood: this is a great art and essential to any intellectual endeavor. Both prose and poetry are my field. Good grammar and syntax are basic instruments in this work but ... Read more

I graduated from Harvard University cum laude with a double major in English and Visual Studies (photography and film making). Since that time, I have made a professional career out of working in the film and media business for non-profit as well as for corporate audiences. My role in this business has been primarily as a Producer/Creative Director, or in other words, in the verbal rather than the technical side of the media production process. In this capacity, I have also become a tutor... Read more

Michael
Yes, Virginia, mathematics can be fun.
- $60 / h
- Cambridge , Massachusetts ( 02138 )
- 15 miles
I love mathematics, and believe that with story, visual models, patience, and humor, I can help any struggling student. Most of my considerable experience is with elementary students, but I am certified to teach at the high school level. Mathematics is about patterns, and these patterns have a beautiful simplicity. But math is not always taught that way. It can be taught as a bewildering procession of calculation rules and procedures, and that can turn students off pretty quickly if mem... Read more

Working in the Dreamweaver environment can be challenging - it requires interests as diverse as a visual aesthetic, some graphic design background or knowledge, and a willingness to wear two hats at once - one to design graphically, and one to understand the conventions of html and css. I go over principles of each of these areas, plus go in-depth Read more
