...a lot of opportunities to pursue advanced coursework and opportunities that weren't available to 99% of students in the area. As a result, I've joined Varsity Tutors as an effort to give back and try to help students get excited about learning various subjects, employing many of the methods that allowed me to succeed. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about standardized test prep, math (all levels), writing, and...

With experience in the classroom setting for the past three years and tutoring experience for the past five, I provide quality instruction to help the student better understand challenging material and develop skills to master a subject.

...working with students of all ages and trying to find new ways to explain concepts that make sense. My brain often works well with memory tricks and easy-to-remember steps to using a concept, so I am accustomed to finding ways to break down lessons in ways that make learning simpler. I believe that all learning is possible with a little bit of legwork, and I want to help students learn how to do that legwork.

"Those who say it cannot be done should not stand in the way of those trying to do it!" With 18+ years in public education (focus on Special Needs children), along with the skills I bring, I have the experience needed when working with people with disabilities.

I'm looking forward to helping you maximize your potential!

...returned from a trip to Honduras where my brigade was able to provide healthcare to a rural community in central Honduras. Before applying to college, I went through extensive ACT tutoring and would love to relay those skills to other students. I'm passionate about the social sciences, math, spanish, and all things natural science :) I intend to go to medical school and would eventually love to become a pediatric neurosurgeon one day!

...formal tutoring. When I attended Amherst College to pursue a degree in English, I carried this passion for education with me. For years I participated in a work-study mentoring underprivileged students in order to improve literacy and encourage a love of reading. I'm excited to tutor in a wide variety of subjects, particularly in standardized test preparation and in the humanities. For me, learning is about inspiration and passion. Teaching provides an opportunity to see...

...exercise and activity. The best teaching and learning then, I think, allows us to consider knowledge, from the most practical to the most abstract, as both social exercise and activity. This means, as exercise, that we get comfortable with the necessary repetitions of learning--reading and writing, listening and speaking with consideration. As social activity, strong teaching and learning allows us to consider knowledge production as constantly unfolding, knowledge production as a place where self-expression and...

As a tutor in test prep (SAT/ACT/SSAT/AP), I aim to help my students learn subject matter solidly enough to teach it themselves. I have four years of experience in online tutoring through the Russian School of Mathematics. My VA research, 1st placement in MA Science Olympiad, and perfect AP scores in Calc BC, Eng Lang, Chem, and Bio give me the expertise to transform your student into an academic weapon.

I am a certified elementary and ESL teacher committed to my students and their learning. I am passionate about teaching and love finding new ways to help my students. I became an ESL teacher as a result of my own personal interest in languages and linguistics. I have studied several languages extensively and am fluent in Spanish.

I am passionate about helping students learn about economics, math, history and anything else I can help with. I look forward to working with you!

...in scientific research and in tutoring students in both science and English coursework. My experience in tutoring students in English over the past 6 years includes age groups ranging from grades K-12. English topics cover essay writing, college admissions, as well as grammar mechanics. I am most experienced in teaching SSAT, SAT, and similar entrance/exit exams for students entering high school or preparing to enter college. Preparing for standardized tests can represent a stressful and...

...I place a strong emphasis on thinking critically and analytically over simple rote memorization. I am currently a student at Boston College and majoring in Biochemistry. My current position as a student offers me an ideal perspective for tutoring both because the subjects are fresh in my mind and also because I have a variety of study strategies I use myself that I can share with my students. I am friendly, passionate and patient in...

...publishing. I specialize in teaching academic reading and essay writing, test prep and college readiness, and editing and verbal skills. I aim to understand each student's individual goals and approaches to learning, and gear my tutoring sessions to the student's particular needs. I find that we learn best when we understand the "why" behind the content, paired with practical and tangible methods. I have worked with students across ages and skill levels, and with a...

My classes incorporate insights from political science, law, history, economics, sociology and social psychology to facilitate students' learning. I have taken a hands-on approach to teaching students how to read and understand complex concepts and conduct and present original research....

...have always loved. Oftentimes I find that my students just haven't found the right books, genres, or authors, and once they do, they realize they love reading. Reading is an extraordinary way to effortlessly improve vocabulary, grammar, and overall knowledge of history, current events, etc. Similarly, I've worked with so many students who think they just aren't good at writing, or they hate writing. Sometimes this is because they see themselves as "math thinkers" and...

...of learning. My goal is not only for my students to understand the subject in which they seek instruction, but understand themselves a little more and to have the tools necessary to adapt themselves to learn in new environments. I have experience tutoring and teaching both children and adults. I volunteered as a tutor with a charter school in South Boston before attending law school. As a trial attorney, I also assist with the lawyer...
