Joe D.
Private tutor in Cambridge, MA
Education
Over 6000 hours of tutoring with 100+ students since 2010. I received my Bachelor's degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Music in 2011. I work now as an educational researcher and develop STEM/STEAM learning materials for students and teachers as well as travel to work on educational projects around the globe that focus on learning across subjects and encouraging creativity.
Experience
Hi everyone! I am a tutor in the fields of science, math, music, English, and standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, GMAT, GRE, TOEFL, ISEE, etc.). For qualifications sake, I received my Bachelor's of Science in Music. I also completed a Massachusetts teaching education program while attending school, fulfilling a full practicum and set of required student teaching. Working internationally, I have also held classes in Seoul, South Korea, teaching chemistry, physics, and calculus. Additionally, I have volunteered with several disadvantaged youth tutoring programs and have tutored many friends and family over the past 15 years. I always find that the experience is mutually beneficial. Besides, it is said that the best way to learn a subject is to teach it! I am located near Cambridge, MA and my sessions are primarily held online through Zoom for 1-2 hours. Alternatively, I may be able to meet in a local library or school depending on availability. I prefer when the student has some sort of workbook or guide that they would like to cover, but this is not required. Based upon the subject matter, we can develop a program that can meet on a regular basis (weekly, etc.) or in "chunks" to cover specific parts of the subject.
