Award-Winning ACT Reading Tutors in Cleveland, OH

...organization. I am very invested in my students' success, and nothing makes me happier than helping them to finally grasp a difficult concept. I know that every student learns differently, so I always start my tutoring sessions by first trying to learn what the student's strengths and weaknesses are. After allowing them to work through and explain a few problems in front of me, I try to tailor an individualized teaching method to best suit...

...time tutoring peers and elementary/middle school children in Chester, PA, volunteering at local hospice facilities and at HUP (Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania), and doing research at the Cleveland Clinic. I have also tutored abroad in Korea in standardized test prep like SAT, MCAT, and SAT II. In my free time, I enjoy dancing and cooking, as well as running cross country. I would love to work with you, particularly on areas in science...

...learning happens much faster and more effectively, and doesn't feel like work. I endeavor to interest students in any topic (but especially math) by giving them a sense of a larger context. In particular, I love to bring college-level math concepts to students in a way anyone can understand, which often demonstrates WHY the math they're doing matters. It also shows that math can be just plain cool, which I don't think our curricula prioritize...

...a classroom teacher in a range of environments, along with 3 years tutoring experience. I have current teaching licenses in both Ohio and Maryland for grades 7-12 mathematics, although I am eager to expand my tutoring horizons! I have helped students succeed in math from Algebra 1 through Calculus, though I would be ready and willing to work on subjects from pre-algebra through Calculus 3 (and a bit beyond). I have also helped students preparing...

...load before I applied to college. A tutor helped me pass an entrance exam I had initially failed to gain acceptance to the right level of high school mathematics. I hope to pass this forward and help other students realize the kind of success I have experienced. Ultimately, I see myself in academia, and working for Varsity Tutors is an experience I am using to help me explore my passion for education.

...tutor at Varsity Tutors! I intend to apply to medical school during the summer of 2018. These experiences have allowed me to develop an even greater appreciation for the sciences than what Ive learned through textbook learning alone. Through tutoring, I hope to instill the same level of excitement and subject appreciation in my students, not just in the sciences; but in a variety of subjects, such as English, Writing, and Math. More generally, I...

...to all of my tutoring sessions. Although I majored in Biology at Duke, I got a minor in Classical Studies - or ancient Greece and Rome - so I have a pretty diverse educational background. In addition to my studies in college, I was DUMB (a proud member of the Duke University Marching Band) and I conducted research on Hawaiian monk seals. In the future, I hope to participate in more field work with marine...

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel. From tutoring children to post-graduates, I have seen that all students (no matter their age, level of education, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) who are willing to learn can succeed. ... In a typical first session, the student and I usually...

...have worked diligently to augment my teaching skills through various activities at both the college and high school level to prepare myself fully for the challenges ahead as a teacher. Math has always come easy to me, and I try very hard to create a similar experience for others. My philosophy is and always has been that everyone has the mathematical prowess inside of them begging to be awakened; unfortunately, some are behind the curve....

...their individual pace, weaknesses, and strengths to match them with the best educator for their learning style. I enjoy the individualized attention I am able to give my students in a tutoring setting. We accomplish goals much quicker when lessons can be personalized. I also work at the collegiate level as a writing and reading tutor. I also have experience as an elementary teacher for many grade levels. It is fulfilling to work with both...

...love doing ceramics and have been taking classes since I was eight years old. I mostly do hand-building and have gone through a number of phases. When I was very young, most of the ceramic sculptures I made were dragons because I was obsessed with them. When I first began studying Chinese in high school, I made ceramic tiles with Chinese characters on them. Most recently, I have been making ceramic lotuses and sunflowers. Origami...

...to run a week-long, annual summer camp for a week with ~120 kids from ages 9-14, so I know how to work with children of all ages. I love to learn, but my favorite subjects are Math, English, and Science. I stand by the idea that every person learns differently, and my goal is to teach by taking advantage of that learning style. I appreciate the need for learning and the essential drive to continue...

...I could aid them. Currently, I work as an Image Analyst for the Ophthalmology department of Case Western Reserve University. The subjects I most prefer to tutor are the sciences and mathematics. I always viewed these subjects as logic games that happened to have a real life application. I believe in transparency between myself and my students. After all, "I don't know" is a valid and honest answer. Outside of academia, I love cooking, playing...

I have extensive experience in SAT, ACT, and MCAT prep, a love of physics, and expertise in tutoring from elementary to...

...many students, and I hope to get rid of that fear and promote an appreciation for numbers and the sciences. In my tutoring, I focus on helping students understand the concepts beneath the problems, so as to facilitate learning rather than memorization. I strongly believe that every student is capable of reaching a strong level of understanding in any subject, given the correct tools, a teacher who can offer what they need, and some hard...

...about reading literature and analyzing it in great detail. I have always had a knack for writing, particularly grammar, and I am very confident that I can help with any writing or reading tasks. In my free time, I enjoy reading books, socializing with friends, and playing videogames. I love traveling with friends and family! One thing I definitely bring to the table is a sense of humor, so I can ensure I will make...
