...only means to succeed in school but to become a lover of knowledge. This philosophy has guided me since I started tutoring freshman year in college. My strengths lie in reading, writing, and all things humanities. I have a genuine love for tutoring and the subjects I teach, and I aim to create an open, informative, and effective atmosphere with my students, one that can shape them into philosophers or true lovers of knowledge.

...to travel North America and abroad, I'm glad to get back into doing what I love...having interesting conversations about subjects that can seem very boring. While standardized testing seems to drain the life out of every subject, there are ways to make it fun while still having the tools to ace the test. My style of teaching integrates the real world as much as possible, while still instilling a strong control of the conceptual aspects....

I'm a student at American University, and I've always been the kind of person to get excited about learning. I hope that tutoring will allow me to help other students enjoy learning by empowering them to succeed in subjects they might struggle with.

...undergraduate institution, and led different student groups including the choir. While I enjoy helping other students in many different subjects, my favorites would be history and essay writing. I value the importance of both education and being of service to others, and I firmly believe that learning can be less stressful when it is through one's peers. In my free time I enjoy singing, reading, playing tennis, and spending time with friends.

...I also enjoy working with students on reading and writing skills because I am an avid reader and writer. Writing is a valuable skill that will take you far in college and even when applying for jobs, internships, and graduate schools. I love to work with students at all levels and students with different learning styles. My goal is to not only help students master the subject, but also to help them identify which study...

I have over 15 years of experience tutoring in STEM-related and language courses. I use the teach back method and it has proven to be most effective over the years.... If a student is struggling with reading comprehension, we will go through the text together.

...young inner-city children, as an SAT instructor, and as an educational volunteer at St. Elizabeths Hospital. I can work with and relate to a wide spectrum of backgrounds. Whenever possible, I am either playing the piano, bicycling across the city, volunteering at a couple different hospitals, shadowing physicians, or chilling out with good friends. I feel that having a balanced lifestyle allows me to be easy-going, and as a result, I have the patience and...

Confidence in your ability to learn is a wonderful feeling that we should be striving to create in students and this confidence will hopefully spill over into other areas of life. Apart from tutoring, I enjoy walking along the waterfront, particularly when free food tents are present. I love watching hockey and basketball and am always excited to get in the car, roll...

One on one practice tests give students a chance to ask questions and understand the fundamentals while gaining familiarity with the layout of the tests themselves.

...their psyche. I love to put that puzzle together to unlock greatness. Follow your passion - these words were spoken to me years ago by my high school English teacher. Looking back, I wish I had the enthusiasm then as a student that he had as a teacher. This is my way of paying it forward. Hopefully my passion for learning will be transmitted in the way I help those who seek it.

I have expertise in various middle and high school mathematics and science subjects, including ACT and SAT-specific questions. I graduated cum laude with a Bachelors in Chemical Engineering from Vanderbilt University, and have 1 year of private tutoring experience.

I love helping others with processes I've found difficult at times myself. Having struggled with incompatible teaching methods, I know they can make all the difference in how successful a student is at a given assignment or in a class overall.

...first. I find that students who are interested in the content of material are able to pick up high level skills very quickly, and are motivated to think about learning in their free time. For that reason, I target my tutoring to each individual student, trying to give examples the student can relate to, and assigning challenging work the student will be interested in. A student who loves history will not learn to read from...

Engaging teacher during the day... engaging tutor in the evenings!

Helping students understand new concepts is one of the great pleasures in life. I am committed to seeing all my students...

My goal as a tutor here on Varsity is to learn each students particular learning style. This helps us both achieve their educational goals in ways that are enjoyable, and where the information is retained not just memorized temporarily,

...it! It has always been very gratifying for me to help students develop academically and improve their performances on important tests like the LSAT and SAT. I have an excellent academic record and have done very well on standardized tests such as the SAT and the LSAT.
