I have been teaching and tutoring for over twenty years and love working with students of all ages. Specialties include application essays, creative projects and enrichment, reading and writing support, academic writing, grammar and editing, and journalism.

...often do silly things to help them remember. Students tell me “I hear your voice in my head while I’m taking the exam.” I even create my own “math games” and learning tools to better help the student understand in ways they cannot do with old fashioned pencil and paper. Every student is different and has their own individual unique needs. As their teacher, I go at the pace of the student. I believe that...

...and Psychometrics. My evaluations (from both faculty and students) as a college professor are universally excellent, and reflect my ability to motivate students, clearly structure lessons, and make very complex material understandable. I have taught college-level statistics many times, and have done graduate-level statistics as part of my research. SPSS is no problem. Name a field of psychology: I've probably taught it, and can tutor it. These would include developmental, neurobiological, personality, clinical, and cognitive....

...Algebra 1 TA at a high school in the Bronx. I've been doing a lot of math since a young age and I really enjoy both the beauty and the challenges that come with it. I've been a student who hated the math he was learning and I've also been a student who felt love and admiration for the math he was learning. This is all normal! There are many lessons to be learned from...

...library, where I volunteered to help elementary and middle school students with their homework. More recently, I have worked with private clients at the high school level for both exam prep and classwork. I have tutored various subjects, but am most suitable for math and science coursework. I have always valued education and all it has to offer. Education challenges us all, but in the end it opens new doors and provides each of us...

...in Higher Ed I can attest that these "breakthrough" moments are possible, but harder to achieve in a classroom. My career in applied chemistry and dual experience with group and individual instruction has provided me with good tools for both "reading" students and producing real-life examples of how science works. Finally, I always look forward to meeting new learners and helping them clear the brush in order to blaze the trail to better learning.

...have had some formal tutoring experience with students in high school and some of my fellow students in college, and I have tutored many informally throughout my education. I really like helping people understand math and fall in love with it like I did. Whenever I was studying math, there was always an "Aha!" moment when something makes sense and clicks. I really like seeing that moment in my students eyes especially when they realize...

...different subjects to different age groups from elementary students to college students. I tutored Math ( Algebra, pre-calculus, calculus 1, 2, 3), biology, chemistry, french, SAT, GED etc with great success. I am fluent in French, and I have tutored and taught several people in french. As a medical student, I enjoy teaching my patients. I particularly enjoy sharing my knowledge with others and I look forward to helping you in your journey to reach...

...problems through their own critical reasoning. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than when a student tells me "I'm really starting to enjoy learning about this," because in my experience, this is a preliminary step towards personal ownership of their academic pursuits. Guardians value my commitment to their student's education, my effectiveness in enhancing their scholarly capabilities, and my reliability. Students appreciate that I connect with them directly, treat them with respect, and ultimately help them...

...to be able to approach a problem from multiple angles until the student has found an approach that is best for him or her. This requires a flexible tutor to adapt to each students individual needs. Asking questions is an integral part of the learning process and my approachable nature allows students to feel comfortable enough to ask the questions that they feel they need to. Because of this I am able to have an...

...a tutor is to encourage students to their fullest potential. As an engineer, I can bring real world examples of how math and science are applied to our everyday lives. By making math practical, even the most complex mathematical principles can make sense to just about anyone. In my free time I love being with my 1 year old daughter. She is the world to me. I am also a sports fan and love the...

I enjoy helping people and being part of their academic journey. I've been teaching at the University level for 8 years, and have been tutoring for many more years than that. I am also a mom of 5 amazing kids, and I am just about finished with my PhD in English Literature. I'm only interested in online sessions at the moment. I look forward to working with you!

...job that still keep up, and teaching English to students for the past ten years. It is a wonderful subject to teach that helps people learn to communicate in a way that brings them satisfaction and helps them to garner what they want in life. Studying English also helps people learn so much about other people, as well, gaining the ability to empathize, and gaining the lifelong skill of being able to read and learn...

...New York, and Pennsylvania, and can now be found in Northern Westchester, NY. With over 14 years experience teaching students aged 3-70, I currently teach College Writing at Montclair State in New Jersey and both Critical Thinking and Junior Seminar at Mercy College in Westchester. I am the self-published author of more than a dozen scifi and horror novels, available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. My tutoring is focused on the test specifically and...

...the correct answer, we all want the 100% score; that is a given. But if you can obtain the correct answer AND develop a thought process that can be employed again and again to solve future problems then you have truly added to your knowledge base. My overall teaching philosophy is to engage the student and attempt to point out certain real world applications to material that one may deem (admittedly) sometimes a bit dry....

...recently graduated Case Western Reserve University, a year early, with a bachelors degree in Biochemistry. My science background has taught me the value of good teaching, and has consequently impacted how I, myself tutor students. I tutor students in the SAT/ACT math and writing sections, biological sciences, and middle school level math/algebra. My goal in tutoring each student is to not only get the student to understand the material, but to also enjoy their process...

...there! My name is Yasmeen and I am a lover of learning and teaching. Tutoring has always been passion of mine, and I look forward to understanding students' strengths and opportunities to effectively provide an enriching, engaging and beneficial learning experience. I have experience teaching kids and adults of all ages. I studied Psychology at Harvard, graduating in 2015. When not focusing on academics, my passions include theatre, dance, teaching, cooking & travel. Thank you...

...myself your guru - your guide to finding why you can succeed in a given subject. I prefer English because I know that everyone has something to say. Even if you didn't like reading the book, I'm sure you can get on A on the essay. My sessions are informal and fun. I like finding outside materials that can help get the idea flowing. My goal is to increase interest and productivity each time out....

...am an experienced educator who has taught reading, writing, language conventions and public speaking successfully in three schools. I have a proven track record of moving students from below to above grade level performance in each of these areas. My approach is individualized intervention strategies tied to "real-world" applications of skills. This assures that students are not just learning content, but understand the context in which the content is useful for college and career success.

...types of learners which has helped me grow as a tutor and become more flexible through experimenting and developing different teaching modes. In high school, learning to manage my time helped me dissect my learning style which resulted in more efficient and effective study methods. I joined Varsity Tutors because I want to help students not only maximize, but exceed their potential. Outside of academics, I enjoy watching and playing sports, listening to and writing...
