Math does not have to hurt.

Easy STEM School offers one to one tutoring in math, physics and computer science at every level, from first algebra through university coursework. We find where the understanding breaks down and rebuild it from there.

Subjects

Three subjects, taught properly

Every lesson is one to one, so the pace, the examples and the practice all fit the student and the coursework in front of them.

Math Algebra to university

We find the gaps quickly, rebuild the fundamentals and train students to reason on their own, so they can explain how they got the answer.

  • Pre-Algebra
  • Algebra I and II
  • Geometry
  • Precalculus
  • Calculus AB and BC
  • IB Math AA and AI
  • Multivariable
  • Linear Algebra
  • SAT and ACT

Physics Taught by a Ph.D.

We work problems the way a physicist does: find the principle, choose the representation, check the limiting cases and only then compute.

  • Mechanics
  • Electricity and Magnetism
  • Waves
  • Thermal Physics
  • Modern Physics
  • IB Physics SL and HL
  • AP Physics 1
  • AP Physics C

Computer Science Former engineer

Students learn to design algorithms, break big problems into testable steps and write clean code, with a former software engineer beside them.

  • Python
  • Java
  • Object-Oriented Design
  • Data Structures
  • Algorithms
  • AP CS A
  • Independent Projects

Levels

Support at every stage

Whether a student is catching up, keeping up or getting ahead, we start the same way: find the exact gap and close it.

  • Base

    Foundations

    Middle school and early high school math and science, closing gaps before they grow.

  • 9–12

    Honors and standard

    Full-year support in algebra, geometry, precalculus, calculus, physics and intro programming.

  • AP/IB

    AP and IB

    AP Calculus, Physics and CS A. IB Math and Physics at SL and HL, with Internal Assessment guidance.

  • Univ

    University level

    Calculus sequences, linear algebra, differential equations, classical and quantum mechanics.

  • Test

    Test prep

    SAT, ACT, PSAT, ISEE, SSAT and GRE quantitative, with strategy built on knowing the material.

Where should we start?

Pick a level and a subject to see a typical first focus. Every plan is then adjusted to the student in the first session.

How it works

Simple to start, serious about progress

No packages to decode and no group classes. Tell us what has been difficult and we build from there.

  1. 1

    Tell us where the student is

    Send the course, the level and what has been difficult through our contact form. We reply with an honest assessment and a suggested starting point.

  2. 2

    Start with a diagnostic

    The first session is a conversation and a problem set to find where understanding actually breaks down. That is rarely where the grade suggests.

  3. 3

    Work to the real calendar

    Sessions follow the student's own coursework and exam dates, with targeted practice in between. Parents hear what was covered, what improved and what still needs work.

Why one to one

Why families choose Easy STEM School

We teach three subjects and we know them well.

A pace set by the student

We slow down at the point of confusion and move quickly through what the student already knows.

Concepts before steps

Students who understand the core idea stop needing tricks, so a changed question on a test is something they can work out.

Structure in every session

Diagnose the gap, rebuild the foundation, practice, then check that the student can do it unaided.

Students do their own work

We never do the work for them. The goal is a student who trusts their own reasoning after tutoring ends.

Questions

Parents ask us

What subjects do you teach?

Math, physics and computer science. The tutoring page lists the full curriculum for each.

Is tutoring really one to one?

Yes. We only teach individual sessions and do not run group classes. Sessions are typically 60 or 90 minutes.

What levels do you work with?

Foundations through AP, IB Higher Level and university coursework, plus SAT, ACT, PSAT, ISEE, SSAT and GRE quantitative.

Are sessions in person or online?

Both. Sessions are in person in Newton, MA or online by video.

Can you help with current homework and upcoming tests?

Yes. Sessions are aligned to the student's own coursework and exam calendar, with targeted practice in between.

How do we start?

Send us the course, the level and what has been difficult. We reply with an honest assessment and tell you whether we are the right fit.

Begin with a conversation

Tell us the student's level, coursework and what has been difficult. We will tell you honestly where we would start.
