Tobias
Friendly Math and Science Tutor
Hello, I am a friendly and knowledgeable math and science tutor. I have ten years of experience tutoring and teaching. I have a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and a master’s degree in Education from the Boston Teacher Residency. I enjoy helping students broaden their knowledge and skills and to succeed in their classes, exams, and careers. Since earning my bachelor's degree I have taught science to a wide range of students, in both formal...

Comes on time, patient with me, knows my weak point and works on them. We review on regular base the math and the chemistry problem. I taking am AP Chem and a fiber class math.

After the last tutoring session, my son said that he was the only student in his math class that understood what the teacher was talking about. He said that he was participating in class much more than he had in the past. Toby has been instrumental in getting my son to understand the concepts that he needs to know to succeed in school. He does a combination of reviewing materials, checking homework and studying for tests. This has all increased my son's performance and confidence in school.

After three hour long sessions with Tobias, I feel much more confident with my understanding of the basic rules of chemistry and my abilities to work through multi-part chemical reactions. He was willing to schedule me for meetings on very short notice, and explain the functions that I have the most difficulty grasping clearly and concisely. He was very patient with my repetition based learning style, and adapted well when certain teaching tactics of his weren't working to make sure I understood the material. I recommend him highly.

Tobias was the first tutor I hired while in college and I must say, I'm impressed. I was taking a fast-paced summer class and struggling a fair amount, but meeting with him multiple times a week definitely helped me feel less daunted by the material. Tobias is patient, very accommodating, and very good at showing a methodical approach to chemistry problem solving. I still felt the time constraints of my class, but I think that Toby helped make the experience less stressful. I would definitely recommend him.

Tobias helped me understand definitions in physics that I was having a hard time grasping. Then, he took those definitions and put them into practical application. My time with him was very helpful!
Jolly D. from Bedford, MA
Toby is the definition of a very patient, responsible, and knowledgeable tutor in chemistry. We decided to meet every Sunday morning at Panera Bread for an hour lesson. Toby was very flexible in extending the lesson time as per our requirement. The lesson was very enjoyable as well as effective for my son. He became extremely comfortable with the concepts after few lessons. Toby was always on time. He also came to help my son for a test in night time with a very short notice. I would highly recommend Toby to anyone looking for a Chemistry tutor. He is a very handsome, polite and knowledgeable tutor.
Mcgovern B. from Methuen, MA
Toby has been excellent with my son. He is soft spoken yet very knowledgeable of the subject matter. (Chemistry) He has been to my home 4 times primarily Sunday afternoons. He arrives on time and gets right down to business reviewing relevant homework and test materials. My son's grades as well as study habits have improved. I only wish I had found Toby earlier in the semester.
Eric R. from Winthrop, MA
I can only say positive things about Tobey. He worked with my son who is a high school student and was struggling in chemistry. He was extremely helpful and helped him immensely. He was very patient and calm and as well as knowledgeable. He was very easy going which helped make the tutoring sessions more enjoyable for my son. I would highly recommend Tobey as a chemistry tutor.

Tobias is patient, knowledgeable, reliable, and really knows how to teach. You can’t find better if you’re looking for a tutor. Good luck with your studies!
Mursal H. from Chelsea, MA
He's so knowledgeable about the material and he does an excellent job explaining things in simple terms! I couldn't have asked for a better tutor.
Matt W. from Belmont, MA
Tobias had a very quick turnaround. He made himself available within 24 hours. Then he performed like a star. Within 90 minutes the frustration of my daughter turned into understanding and motivation. Bravo!
Rachel R. from Lexington, MA
Tobias tutored my daughter in Chemistry and pre-Calculus. He was knowledgeable and patient. She got a lot of help over this hour and is looking forward to working with him again next week.
Laura P. from Stoneham, MA
Toby tutored my daughter in AP chemistry last year and helped her do extremely well in the course and on the AP exam. I was so impressed that I asked him to help my other daughter this year with general high school chemistry (not AP). I can not say enough about him. He is reliable, flexible, and good-natured. He has an impressive mastery of the material, but he is also a highly skilled teacher. He is able to tailor his teaching to the student's level. My children enjoy their sessions with him because he is so nice and supportive. I recommend him to anyone looking for a chemistry tutor.
Ricky D. from Somerville, MA
Wonderful tutor, I greatly enjoy working with him. He uses very clear and simple language to explain concepts which aids long term retention.
Kim K. from Brookline, MA
I looked for a great tutor for my daughters who are studying for the SAT subject matter test as well as taking accelerated Chem at school. So many said they knew Chem because they knew math and bio. That doesn't cut it. Toby KNOWS Chemistry and he teaches it well.
