👩‍🏫 About the Tutor

Meet Avery — Founder & Tutor at Core Concepts Tutoring

Hi! My name is Avery Liaw, and I’m the founder of Core Concepts Tutoring, based in Needham, Massachusetts. I grew up in the Needham Public Schools, so I understand the learning environment, curriculum, and expectations local students experience every day.

Now, as a student at Minuteman High School studying biotechnology, I’m passionate about helping younger learners build strong foundations in science, English, and math. I’ve worked on hands‑on projects like PCR‑based GMO detection and microbiology experiments, and I love making complex topics fun, visual, and easy to understand.

What makes my tutoring style unique is my focus on helping students understand the “why” behind every concept—not just memorizing answers. When students truly understand how something works, learning becomes more meaningful, enjoyable, and confidence‑building.

🎓 Teaching Approach

Personalized

Every session is tailored to each student’s pace, strengths, and learning style.

Encouraging

I focus on building confidence, not just improving grades.

Interactive

Lessons include visuals, real‑world examples, experiments explained, and problem‑solving activities.

Goal‑Oriented

Students leave each session with clear takeaways and practice ideas they can use right away.

🌱 Beyond Tutoring

When I’m not teaching, I’m active in FFA (Future Farmers of America), science fairs, and leadership activities at school. My goal is to inspire curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning in every student I work with.
