...provide mentorship and academic support to my brothers. As a tutor at Varsity Tutors, I strive to provide this same level of support to every one of my students. Math has always been my strongest subject, and I enjoy learning and teaching it. As a Business Economics major at UCLA, I used Calculus to create Economic models in the majority of my courses. As an Investment Banker, I strengthened my understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts...

...into place for a student who has previously been struggling with a topic. I firmly believe that learning can be interesting when placed into context. To get to know I'll tell you a little more about myself. Since graduating I've begun working at a software company in NYC. In my free time, I love reading, cooking, and playing music. I've recently begun taking up the guitar. Additionally, I'm always outdoors. I'm looking forward to the...

...measure progress and hone in on, not only academic skills, but also time management, organization, and maintaining a sense of personal calm. In fact, I love the entire college application process because I think of it not as an opaque, mysterious world of judgment behind closed doors, but as the first opportunity in a student's life to find the perfect fit. The combination of test scores and personal statement should be seen as a contribution...

...reach their goals. Thus, I would describe my tutoring philosophy as entirely facilitative - I want to be there to help my students reach their goals on their own. Personally, my interests shadow my studies, but extend beyond them as well. I am matriculating to medical school next year, and am passionate about biomedical science and helping people. I spend my free time reading, playing pick-up basketball or soccer with my friends, going on a...

...high school and even college students. My other position was as an education consultant for university applications where I taught advanced writing workshops to working professionals. Through my editing and consulting services, I have helped my clients gain entrance to elite US institutions such as Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University, and others. Outside of school and work, some of the things I really enjoy are picnics and big dinners with friends, going...

...same time as the COVID pandemic began. What can I say? I'm a lucky guy! To cope with the postponement of my theatre graduate program (and with an eye on my future financial situation), I decided to take a swing at the LSAT. I studied hard over a two-month period, and I took the LSAT Flex in June 2020.* *Since July, I have worked with over 20 LSAT students. With each, I have learned more...

...am an avid traveler and have a huge passion to touch every little piece of the globe. The world's various cultures and people have lived a different subset of experiences than we have in our Western society. The ability to open one's perspective to these varying views and approaches to life is a key element of learning and such experiences are critical to everyone's development. In teaching I always include all of my perspectives and...

...or teaching assistant of some kind for four of the last six years, most recently as a TA for organic chemistry 2. I am most excited about helping other students achieve their dreams of going to medical school by helping them study for the MCAT. Besides MCAT tutoring, my favorite subjects are chemistry, biology, and math which are all subjects I have tutored in before. I believe that every student can learn the material they...

...history can be very useful for students in understanding how a society functioned, which is crucial for their understanding of causality of events. These methods of approaching teaching in these particular subjects served me well during high school and now as I approach the end of my undergraduate education, and while I cannot of course guarantee particular results for any student, I've found that in my experiences volunteer teaching and elsewhere that my method has...

...score, I know the steps necessary to help that student reach his or her goal. I also have experience tutoring high-school and college-level mathematics, and I regularly write and edit written works, including scholarly papers and judicial opinions, for possible publication. I have a passion for the subjects that usually appear on standardized tests, and I have loved having an opportunity to create that sense of enjoyment in my students as well.

...taking tips, time management, etc. During our sessions together, we will review the problems that I have provided for homework, and I will instruct the student on better and faster ways to solve the correct problems and demonstrate ways to approach the problems that they did not know how to solve. Additionally, I always find that my students have the greatest level of success as I foster great tutor/student relationships. I set high expectations for...

...with a Bachelor's degree in English as well as a minor in creative writing. Through my time at school I have peer edited countless papers, critiqued works of fiction, and written a considerable amount of my own material. Throughout my whole life I have spent much of my spare time reading books or writing creatively. My expertise is letters, words, sentences, paragraphs- how to create them, decipher them and think about them. If you have...

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions!

...and articulating those ideas through written or verbal communication. When I began teaching, I emphasized to my students the importance of these skills, and assured them that the ability to read, write, speak, and listen proficiently would provide them access to opportunities and expand their conception of the world. My teaching reflects my belief that other writers can develop a strong sense of self-efficacy given encouragement and the resources to break down even complicated concepts....

...tremendously satisfying to help students conquer those initial hurdles and gain a feeling of mastery and confidence. I am patient, and I encourage my students to be patient as well. I also help students faceand in so doing, conquertheir fear of failure. We practice not fearing mistakes, but seeing them as opportunities to learn, hone skills, and grow more confident. One of my strongest attributes as a tutor is my ability to break down complex...

...some bizarre form of torture. It can even be fun. I promise! As a tutor my primary goal is not to teach towards specific problems. Rather, it is to establish strong foundations and to teach methods to figure out how to apply those fundamentals to any problem the student might encounter. I try to really drive home, on a conceptual level, why things are done the way that they are. Over the course of my...

...a plan each session and work hard to complete it -- with stops along the way to try out our learning with games, visuals and fun! I am a nationally known leader in teaching with technology, and you'll see that in each of our tutoring sessions if you'd like. We are a team! That means I will maintain contact with your school teachers and keep parents in the loop to make sure we have covered...

...currently attending Connecticut College studying Psychology with a minor in Applied Statistics. I know how hard it can be to learn new material and to find a tutor a student can connect with. In my studies, I have learned many techniques to stay organized and thoroughly understand course content, while being sensitive to the variation in how people learn differently. In addition to tutoring, my interests include fashion and beauty, dance, hiking, and skiing.

...I am also a fluent Russian speaker, and would love to help anyone learn the language, no matter the level of proficiency. In terms of Math, I can tutor anyone struggling with basic elementary or middle school math, as well as algebra, trigonometry, algebra 2, pre calculus, and calculus.
