Award-Winning ACT Science Tutors serving Raleigh-Durham, NC

Perhaps one of my favorite things in life is to see students have that "lightbulb moment." As a tutor I desire for my students to not only succeed in their respective field of study, but have a better understanding of how to problem solve no matter the circumstance.

...the world around us. My degrees are in engineering (BS-General Engineering from Harvey Mudd, MS- Mechanical Engineering, and PhD-Bioengineering from Georgia Tech), but I also love art and literature and linguistics. Outside of academics, I am an avid sports fan (and rugby player) and I love to cook, hike with my dog, and travel. I have tutored many students one-on-one in subjects such as ACT/SAT test prep, writing, AP English, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and physics....

...graduated from Grinnell College with a degree in Anthropology. As a tutor, I've worked with students of all ages, from elementary schoolers learning to read to adults preparing for the GED.

I am currently a senior at Duke University where I will major in History and Philosophy and minor in Computer Science. I enjoy tutoring all subjects, but my favorite things to tutor are history, math, writing, and standardized tests.

...benefit. I want my knowledge of these tests to be useful to someone beyond myself, because I dedicated a lot of time and effort in understanding these tests, and it's a shame to not use it more. I believe enrolling in Varsity Tutors will give me access to motivated students for whom I can actually make a difference, and help them fulfill their potential so that they can achieve their goals. By centering my tutoring...

...pleasure in watching TV shows such as Westworld, Sherlock, How I Met Your Mother, and even The Bachelorette when I'm at a low point. Beyond personal interests, tutoring has always been a side project of mine. Even since middle school, at a local elementary school, I would help tutor students in basic arithmetic and spelling. In high school, while the curriculum changed from multiplication tables to Calculus, the idea was still the same: help as...

I am a native Spanish speaker and I have been studying Japanese since I entered college. I hope...

I am currently a freshman at Duke University from Houston double majoring in computer science and psychology. I am passionate about helping students become more confident in their ability to solve difficult problems and eager to assist them in reaching their goals.

...teaching philosophy entails a lot of practice and self-discovery. From my own experiences with challenging subjects, I know that going the extra mile by doing more practice problems than are actually assigned or watching videos on certain concepts helps reinforcement and allows students to thrive in the classroom. As a tutor, I like to guide students in the correct direction and help them gain footing when learning a new subject; however, I also like to...

...abilities. I hope to ensure that each student feels confident and prepared before taking such an important assessment. It is very important to me that students I work with feel respected as an individual. I always strive to create an inclusive and accepting environment for students of all backgrounds and identities. Additionally, regardless of subject, I believe that each student has the ability to succeed sometimes the biggest barrier to that success is how hard...

I am a student and a researcher with a lifelong passion for teaching!

...well as computer programs. My favorite subject to tutor is math and that's because there are so many ways to answer the questions, I love showing the many ways to answer one question! I think that my tutoring style is more hands on and going through the problem with the student. I will show them the way of answering the question then I let them do a different problem on their own and just guide...
