I am pursuing a degree in English and Political Science at Tufts University. I have tutored middle school, high school, and college students in writing, public speaking, argumentation, clarinet performance, and music theory. I currently work as a high school policy debate coach and as a college parliamentary debate curriculum director. I will be a Writing Fellow at Tufts in the fall.I am particularly passionate about tutoring in subjects related to essay writing and critical reading. This is my favorite area to tutor in because I strongly believe that everyone can benefit from writing skills. As a debate coach and writing tutor, I have seen high school students of diverse interests gain confidence and independence when they learn to express themselves more clearly. I think that the study of textual expression is much more than an English-majors-only activity - it is an essential part of learning to communicate with others and is important for any career.Outside of academia, I enjoy competing in college parliamentary debate, playing clarinet, and reading about history and politics.I can tutor the following subjects on Varsity Tutors.

Late in the winter of 2003, I left Baylor University for Spain, where I would spend the next semester studying. When I arrived in Madrid, I was unfamiliar with the city and had to rush to catch the bus that would take me to my university, several hours to the north. Confused, tired and not at all proficient in Spanish, I chose the incorrect station. A kind cab driver, noticing my confusion, insisted he accompany me to find my bus. When it was obvious that I had chosen the wrong station, he took me to the correct station and again accompanied me inside to ensure I found my bus. Over the next four months, I repeatedly encountered such kindness and support from the university and community. These advantages helped improve my fluency rapidly and fostered an interest in linguistics and language, enriching my stay with cultural experiences I would not have otherwise had.I moved on from undergraduate study to a Master of Arts in Publishing and Writing at Emerson College, shifting my focus to design and visual interpretation. As I progressed along my professional track in educational publishing, my mind often returned to my time abroad; I chafed at my inability to regularly use the skills and interests that I acquired in undergraduate study. I also felt disconnected from my community and my frequently returned to my education experiences—particularly those in Spain—which were essential in my personal growth. With that in mind, I made the decision to leave the publishing industry and pursue a Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.Ultimately, my degrees will prepare me to work with English Language Learners but I have wide-ranging personal interests and the interdisciplinary degree I received at Baylor University has given me a great foundation for tutoring in a number of subjects. I'm excited about working on students of all ages and levels on reading, writing, literature, and Spanish. I also am interested in helping students develop the organizational habits and study skills essential to academic success. Finally, I love working with students on test prep; giving students the skills they need to demystify exams such as the ACT, SAT or TOEFL is really a rewarding experience.When I'm not tutoring or working toward my degree at UMB, I enjoy spending time with my family—my husband and I have one small, silly dog (eight years) and one small, daughter (six months). I'm working on several knitting projects to keep all three of them warm in the coming winter and riding my bicycle as much as I can while it's still warm!

I recently graduated with my PhD in chemistry from Tufts University, I received my bachelor's degree from Bard College in 2014 and worked in the private sector for 2 years in New York City as a analytical chemist.I tutor a broad range of subjects; I am most passionate about chemistry, mathematics and history (predominantly world history). I don't just wish to impart not just knowledge and understanding but also a passion for the sciences.

I am a rising senior at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. I am studying toward a double major in mathematics and Italian Studies, as well as a minor in physics. I peer tutored in all four years of high school in various levels of mathematics, biology, and Latin. Now, at my college I am a Learning Assistant for undergraduate multivariable calculus students and elementary Italian students. I have the most fun leading small group study sessions before exams, where we fine-tune the skills and study habits necessary to succeed on upcoming assessments.

I'm a current PhD student at Tufts University studying Applied Math, and formerly I attained my Bachelor of Science in Math at Pepperdine University. I have been tutoring math for three and a half years now, including Calculus, Differential Equations, and Algebra. I also have taken and tutored many standardized tests, including AP Calc, A-Level Math/Further Pure Math, and GRE Quantitative Analysis. In addition, as a Chinese native speaker, I'm also tutoring Chinese speaking and writing. Outside of academia, I enjoy playing music and sports. I am currently a keyboard player in my band and a member of the school dancing team and table tennis team. I'm looking forward to meeting my tutees and becoming friends with each one of you!

I attend Tufts University majoring in Sociology and minoring in English. When not studying, I am an active blogger, writer and artist. I have been tutoring for local elementary school children since I was in 9th grade, but during high school I expanded to work with middle school students. While college was a busier time for me, I still managed to volunteer and work with primary age children teaching dance. I love working with students and sharing my passion for writing, reading, and the arts. However, I also loved math growing up and though I focused on writing in college, I remember enjoying geometry, and fractions, and the wonder of mathematics. In my free time, I explore the greater Boston area with my friends, write poetry, and choreograph for a fusion dance company on campus. I also love creating music playlists for my friends and recently, I have been getting into graphic design.

I recently obtained my Ph.D. in Chemistry this year. My experience is in Organic Chemistry, but I'm well versed in areas of General Chemistry, as well as Algebra and Geometry.My tutoring philosophy is mostly about proper communication. Most Math and Science classes are normally taught by teaching professionals who are well qualified to lecture in their areas of expertise. However, if the material is not explained in a way that is understandable to the student, then it may be necessary to recruit the help of a tutor. I like to use different examples and analogies to help explain difficult concepts, I have successfully tutored students for more than 5 years.I'm quite flexible with my schedule, and it includes the weekends as well.

I graduated in May 2014 from the University of Richmond where I majored in Healthcare and Society and minored in Biology. I am currently a first year master's degree student at Tufts University in the Occupational Therapy Program.I have tutored for six years both for work and volunteering. I began tutoring in high school as a part time job. I mainly tutored middle school students in math. During my undergraduate education, I volunteered as a tutor for elementary students. I also tutored ESL to a refugee from South Sudan; we prepared for the citizenship exam (which he passed) and worked on his reading and speaking skills.My experience as well as my current education in Occupational Therapy enable me to adapt my teaching style for each student. I try to make lessons as interactive and rewarding as possible. Students should feel comfortable during a tutoring session asking questions and confident after a tutoring session with the material we've covered.Outside of school I enjoy dancing, reading, and spending time with friends and family. I also love animals and will be taking a course next semester on Animal Assisted Therapy.

I am a graduate of Michigan State University, where I studied Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Humanities. I am currently enrolled at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, where I study Development Economics and International Monetary Policy. I have worked as a Teaching Assistant, Research Assistant, and as an Actuary, and have a particular passion for teaching Mathematics. When tutoring I try to include visualizations and real world examples whenever I can so that it does not feel like a fruitless exercise. I help students reach their goals with a two-pronged approach: reinforcing and building upon strengths while targeting weaknesses. In my free time I exercise, play the piano and volunteer with the Jewish Vocational Service.

I graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 2013 with a degree in Music Education. I spent the entire next academic year tutoring math full-time at Lawrence High School in Lawrence, MA, as part of Match Education's "Match Corps." I am currently pursuing graduate studies at Tufts University. In addition to tutoring (privately as well as with Match Corps), I have experience leading classrooms of elementary to high school aged students, in schools ranging from New Hampshire to Ghana. I love tutoring students in math, test preparation, and music. I believe that education is the most essential element in any society, and feel privileged to be pursuing it as a career. Students enjoy my tutoring style and feel comfortable asking questions and pushing their own cognitive limits. Lessons are generally planned and scaffolded, adhering to an individualized curriculum often aligned with the student's school curriculum (as understood through communication with his/her teacher(s)). Open discussion and free exploration of the topic at hand are always encouraged.
