...and Engineering. I also have much experience with and am very comfortable with tutoring those with learning and social disabilities. I've heard people say that the best way to learn is to teach.

This positive approach allows the student to see how much knowledge they actually already...

...I am an incoming senior majoring in Biochemistry at Rice University, and I am thrilled to be your tutor! From all of my experiences working with kids, the biggest thing I have taken away is that childhood is the formative period in everyones life, when you are most vulnerable and malleable to outside influences.

I believe that the best way to learn is to break down each topic to its core concepts so that the student understands each concept.

During 7th and 8th grade, I was a devout member of the school Robotics Club. Now in college, history and politics are my primary passion. Life has given me many chances to learn, and I hope to give that same opportunity to others through Varsity Tutors.

It is my job to ensure a student can relate to the material, stay focused on the lesson, and discover motivation while...
