Our philosophy hinges on inspiring students to take charge of their education.
Mastering curriculum is only the first step toward a lifetime of academic excellence. Through tailored instruction, we strive to make each student feel empowered to rise to the challenge and perform their very best by learning and doing more in both academia and beyond the classroom.
Our Foundation.
Founded by MIT-educated Stephanie Schmit, Boston Private Tutors was founded on the pillars of Stephanie’s passion for online education and collaboration. She refined an effective online education and tutoring method that is geared to help students excel while enjoying the process. Combined with collaboration between effective educators, Boston Private Tutors advances education techniques that make an impact in each student’s life.
Why we prefer
virtual lessons:
Easier to schedule, more likely to find a good time for both the tutors and the families
Can easily add more lessons if the student needs extra help before an exam
Save time—no commute
We find that kids often appreciate an online tutor, so they can focus in their own space without being overwhelmed with in-person interaction as well
Our tutors are excellent at working virtually—online, it’s easier to empathize with a student’s frustration or take some time to emphasize that their confusion is not a reflection of their worth, encourage them to take a deep breath, while also searching for other resources and ways to explain the concepts to get back on track quickly when the student is ready
Online resources available at your fingertips—it takes only a few seconds for your tutor to find a worksheet tailored to strengths and weaknesses, or a YouTube video with the perfect animation to make a concept clear
Practice studying in your own home in a personalized learning environment
Combining Real-World Experience with Academic Expertise.
Boston Private Tutors is comprised of MIT-educated tutors who have developed teaching styles that exemplify real-world lessons inside and outside the classroom. Holding true to our philosophy, our teaching style emphasizes critical thinking, life skills, and organized problem solving.
We believe success in the classroom goes beyond good grades. Our students learn to understand the details of the subject material and to think broadly about the big picture concepts. They learn to be dedicated, responsible and well-spoken critical thinkers with strong study skills.
Interactive Teaching,
Empowered Learning.
Our students learn broad concepts and strategies that can be applied to academic and real-word situations. Our holistic teaching method harnesses the student’s own learning abilities in a way that makes them feel empowered, confident, and proud. Students taught by this method are well-prepared to move into the next phase of their lives with confidence and ease.
As a result, they achieve good grades, high test scores and strong college applications. With these methods, students learn to strategically and successfully navigate the challenges of life as they move up through the years.
