My favorite subjects to tutor are test prep and politics/government course work. I am excited...

...have left before their exam and through my personal experience. I always go over the questions they were stuck on and provide more help if needed. I video-called and visited them to see their progress and to make sure everyone was on track. All five students received a 29+ and gained at least a 2 point increase in their scores. With all this experience, I gained a sense of developed human communication and ideas. I'm...

I taught science to elementary school children in rural parts of Eastern China as president of uLAB, a non-governmental organization whose goal was to encourage engagement and excitement in budding students. Though I am versed in many areas, I most enjoy tutoring Mandarin, Math, and English. There's a definite gratification, too, in honing the skills to ace standardized tests. I hope to impart that enjoyment on a tutee,...

...joy of games - is to be found everywhere in the nature of the human brain; a living computer; a vast of potential of weighted logic gates which give rise to the substance of what we call learning when we - by our activities - so organize them. Even the most bizarre or inspired art - so I attest - comes from the negotiation and change of this substance of our minds, and there is...

...over the past year, I have worked quite a lot with ISEE, SHSAT, SSAT and Algebra students. From the first diagnostic that I give to my students, I quickly develop a strategy to work with them on to improve their performance, test taking ability and understanding of their weakest areas. I am also a certified personal trainer and believe strongly in the adage "A sound mind in a sound body." Culturally, I appreciate music, art,...

I got started helping my nephew with his homework and most recently helped him figure out what to say in his college essay. I excel at spelling and grammar.

...fellow students in high school and continued all throughout college. I have tutored students from the elementary school level to college students to adults who wanted to learn English. After graduating college, I spent a year in France intimately learning the language and teaching my host family English. In my spare time, I love traveling, expanding my book collection, practicing yoga, and delving into community theater and choral groups. In my tutoring, I look to...

I first began tutoring as a high school peer tutor in subjects ranging from AP US History, AP Spanish, AP Literature and the sciences (Biology, Environmental Science etc.).

I am particularly interested in international relations, and my focus within Political Science is Security,...

Hello! I am a sophomore at the United States Military Academy and am looking forward to helping students on Varsity Tutors. I attribute much of my previous academic success to the tutoring I received from others, so I'm excited to pay it forward by helping other aspiring students achieve their goals.

Many students benefit from one on one learning experiences. It is important that students get individual attention to ensure that they understand the material, and that attention is not always given in the classroom environment. Students should be able to feel comfortable with their teachers and ask questions when they need clarification, and there should be enough trust between teacher and student for easy conversation.

...process. As the recipient of tutoring myself as a high school student, I know firsthand the value that dedicated, passionate, and informed tutors can bring to students. I consider much of my academic success to be the result of great tutoring I've received in the past. I've enjoyed tutoring recently because it's a welcomed respite from the world of startups, and I love seeing students "click" when they've gotten past a mental roadblock, or discovered...

Hello! I'm a student at Brown University with an eclectic set of interests. I am trilingual, analytical, and creative and look forward to tutoring you! :)

...of my students are below grade level at this point. In order to motivate my students I employ various tactics to differentiate my instruction. Firstly, it is vital that students can relate to the subject which they are struggling with; otherwise it becomes tedious and irrelevant for them to learn. History is a topic which lends itself to being able to draw parallels to modern day society. By using comparisons to my students lives I...

...and content of any subject, and help write lab reports. I am comfortable tutoring students of any age and at any speed. I can go as slow as the student needs to, and I excel at teaching through explanations of why to help give a solid understanding of the topic rather than just feeding information to memorize. I like to read, especially fantasy, and I enjoy drawing, graphic design, and going to the beach on...
