"I also helped teach a remedial English class at West Philadelphia High School for a year through a program called Community School Student Partnerships. I am dedicated to making difficult material more accessible and engaging to students who are struggling in an imperfect educational environment, and also to fostering literacy, writing, and critical thinking skills that can be applied to all subjects and beyond. I am a research assistant at the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania, and in my free time, I enjoy theater, travel, and swing dancing.." ...

"I received my undergraduate degree in Writing Seminars and Classics from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. When not busy with academics, I love to fence, create henna art, tie-dye, practice yoga, spend time with my younger siblings, camp on the beach, eat chocolate covered anything, read, and travel. I am very excited to be a part of Varsity Tutors, and look forward to helping you achieve your goals!."

"In many cases, classroom learning cannot replace one-on-one learning in terms of efficiency and efficacy. For this reason, tutoring is often an invaluable component of the schooling process. My academic successes have not only left me with semantic knowledge, but also a number of strategies that can aid struggling students in their comprehension, allowing for procedural learning that will be effective after content-based knowledge is forgotten. I try to inspire students by disseminating information in a manner that they will feel engaged and challenged -- using relevant examples, and thereby forcing them to think critically ...

"I feel teaching will be a more fulfilling career for me; I am planning to be a high school/middle school math teacher.
During high school, I tutored Latin and have tutored math during high school and college. The best tutors tailor their lessons to the learning styles of their students. I enjoy finding accessible and creative approaches to simplify complex concepts for my students.
My favorite pastime is Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art."

"Not only have I taught math and science classes at a non-public high school, I have also led SAT-prep classes and instructed students privately in reading, writing, math, and in preparation for a variety of standardized tests (ACT, SAT, PSAT, SSAT, GED). Besides my years of experience and deep content knowledge, my strength as a tutor stems from an intuitive understanding of how to connect with students and explain content in creative ways. I work very hard to bring that "Aha!" moment to students. I love teaching and being involved in the field of education -- I can't think of anything else I'd rather be doing with my life!." ...

"I have a younger sister applying to college now, so I'm once again in the throws of reading over various essay drafts and navigating the Common App. Aside from tutoring, I also like theatre, dance, ice skating, and chocolate! As an artist, arts educator and dramaturg, I'm curious and passionate about literature and history, and how these things inform our society in the present. I want to help other students find ways to be excited about these subjects. The things you learn in school should feel applicable to your life and I can help you rediscover how, while helping with any material that feels particularly challenging or inaccessible." ...
