I've worked at The White House, on Wall Street, and run my own tech start-up for 3 years, and I will help you achieve your goals!I overcame a significant learning disability to graduate high school at 16, publish original scientific research in major international journals, and went on to graduate from Oxford University, the London School of Economics, and Rice University. My original writing has been published in The Guardian and Le Monde, two of the largest newspapers in the United Kingdom and France, respectively.I have 10+ years of experience teaching higher mathematics, computer science, and the SAT, ACT, GMAT, GRE, SAT II, IB, and AP exams (including SAT Math IIC, AP Calculus, AP Computer Science, AP Biology, AP U.S. and European History, AP Art History, and a wide variety of other fields).I've made perfect or near perfect scores on every standardized test I teach, beginning from when I made perfect scores on SAT I Writing, Verbal, SAT II Math IIC when I was 15.It is not at all uncommon for my students to achieve scores like these, increasing by 10 percentile points or more after only a few lessons. My approach is the opposite of "one-size-fits-all."We will develop a customized syllabus together after your first diagnostic test, and I will be data-driven in pursuit of improving your score until we achieve your goals. Fully over 90% of the students I've taught have gained admission to their top choice schools, graduate school, or one of the most selective universities in the US.Outside of this work, I have also been fortunate to start a tech company, intern for The White House Chief of Staff when President Obama was first elected, and work in medical research, where I've also been fortunate to publish peer-reviewed articles on predicting Diabetes-risk in young children.Let me know how I can help you achieve your ambitions, higher education-related or otherwise. I'm excited to work with you.

I love working with students, and that joy comes through into my sessions. I don't judge the struggles of my students. I would rather work to build on the skills they have already and to point out all of the positive accomplishments they achieve.

Hola! I joined Varsity Tutors primarily because I was looking for a way to use Spanish more often. I have spoken Spanish for nearly 10 years, learning the language by traveling abroad and through high school and college courses, and I love it! I also have many other academic interests and I am excited to tutor in any of the areas listed on my profile. I have tutored a wide age-range; from pre-k to college and everything between.I was a tutor in several capacities throughout my years at school, and have continued to tutor and teach since then. I really enjoy helping students grow their own sense of self-confidence and watching them grasp the material. Sometimes all it takes is a little extra explanation that is hard to get in the classroom when the teacher is focusing on so many students at once. My style is pretty laid-back. I'm friendly and patient, and I will do what I can to help you as long as you are willing to help yourself. I love using nemonic devices that help keep vocab or other concepts in our brains.

I have been tutoring since I was 13 years old and I'm just as passionate about it today as I was then! While I love nothing more than helping someone earn a good grade on a project or an exam, my love for tutoring is driven by the opportunities it allows me to help others cultivate their own unique, long-term set of tools and techniques that are catered specifically to their specific needs and learning styles helping people make small changes that will have long-lasting impacts is truly a dream come true. I have two degrees and a minor from Loyola University Chicago and I am currently completing a Masters degree program from Georgetown University.I have a quite diverse and extensive tutoring and teaching background I have taught almost every subject to some degree to students ranging in age from 8 to 75. I specialize in all social sciences, US and World History, AP exam, ACT, and SAT prep, elementary/middle school math, various high school and undergrad subjects, and English and essay writing for all levels.

I've earned my M.Ed from The Ohio State University in English Education and earned a B.S. in journalism from Syracuse University. I've taught 7th and 8th grade English for the past two years at Noble Academy, a charter school in Columbus. All of my classes have demonstrated positive growth over the course of a year.I also run a college prep clinic for students from Somali backgrounds and have done so for the past four years.I started in education through Teach for America as a Spanish and remedial English teacher at a high school in Greenwood, MS. I tutor English, Writing, Math, Social Studies, and Spanish. I personally love to teach any writing component, because I enjoy the process of creating an essay which everyone can enjoy. I consider my tutoring style to mimic that of a coach; my goal is to push your student toward a higher end. I have an ability to build a quick rapport with students and have them understand the work necessary to succeed on their chosen path.In my spare time, I like to run, read, write, and watch sports.I'm looking forward to helping your student find personal success in their academic lives!

I earned my Bachelor's degree in English with a minor in Native American Studies from the University of West Virginia. Currently, I am pursuing my Master's in Secondary Education and am enrolled in the esteemed certification program, "Teachers of Tomorrow." I believe that learning is a continuous process, and I am always eager to expand my understanding while helping others discover their potential to change a world that needs thoughtful guidance. For me, teaching transcends being just a profession.In my view, teaching unlocks the door to endless possibilities, where knowledge and individual empowerment can thrive in a world that often presents challenges in finding one's place. Teaching is not merely about conveying important information; it goes beyond the application of knowledge to shape societal roles. I see teaching as a platform for intellectual growth and a pathway to critical thinking. Education should not be so difficult that it becomes painful; rather, it should be a collaborative endeavor involving mutual understanding between teacher and student.I firmly believe in acceptance and harmony. Everyone perceives the world differently, leading to varied cultural perspectives. To embrace these differences rather than reject them, we must respectfully acknowledge one another. By doing so, we can form new relationships across cultures. Relationships thrive when they are in sync with one another.We should consider the concepts of cause and effect, recognizing that each individual holds the power to both destroy and create. It is vital to develop new ways of perceiving the world and each other, enabling us to learn and grow together. The first step in this journey begins with education.

I am a highly motivated, well-rounded third year pre-med student currently attending the University of South Florida (USF), in Tampa, Florida, majoring in Biomedical Sciences. I am a prospective medical school student, in hopes of matriculating Fall 2018.Growing up as a military child, my family and I moved every 3 to 4 years to a new area where we would have to establish new friendships and relationships with people in similar situations. However, once my father retired from the United States Marine Corps, he was given an opportunity to work on a small military base in the Caribbean, known as Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In such a geographically secluded area, with very limited resources, it was difficult to explore avenues of interest, such as: sports, hobbies and most importantly, excelling in education.My interest for medicine started when I was in late elementary, early middle school. STEM courses and interesting science channels, out of the measly 10 channels available to us, really sparked my interest of the body. Throughout high school, I involved myself with leadership and volunteering throughout the community, whether it was being NHS and Class Presidents or being part of the Disaster Team for the Red Cross or helping the elder Cuban Immigrants in the hospital. Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to shadow physicians on base, due to the countless regulations imposed by the government. However, my curiosity and excitement for medicine was about to spark even higher, once I received my acceptance letter to attend the University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa Bay, Florida.I will never forget the cultural shock that I experienced after moving to the United States after living on a secluded, low population military base for 15 years. It was during my orientation, a week before my first semester started, where I really noticed how different I was from everyone else. As soon I was walked into the atrium, I noticed everyone was on his or her phone. They were gingerly texting away to their friends, surfing the web, and sending countless Snap Chats about their first day of orientation. Me on the other hand, I felt lost. Back where I use to live, whenever we saw someone new or did not known anyone at all, we introduced ourselves and either showed them around or asked to be shown around. Here, it was the complete opposite. As I saw it, texting was their safe haven, where they did not have to experience the awkwardness associated with being in a whole new environment. So, I did as I would have done back home. I got up, tucked away from anxiety-driven safe haven into my pocket and attempted to meet new people and as a result, I got to meet my current best friends and roommates.Now what about school? Well, majoring in Biomedical Sciences (BMS) with a minor in Psychology, I was able to explore a plethora of material-dense classes, of which not only made me reconsider why I wanted to become a doctor, but also strengthened the interest I had for the body. Such complex mechanisms, pathways, equations and weird correlations really made want to delve into more difficult classes that could thoroughly describe them. Some of which, really kicked my butt, but at the end of the day I had a thorough understanding of the material I was interested in. Besides academia, community involvement through research and volunteering truly epitomized the trek I ardently desire to pursue. Most notably, research internships at both the Moffitt Cancer Research Center and Byrds Alzheimers institute really gave me the opportunity to excel and understand the Experimental Method, as well as giving me the opportunity to work with patients and patient information, but to also work with many knowledgeable individuals who are not afraid to lend a hand to teach you something new. As for community involvement through volunteering, I have been highly involved in the USF Rugby team, a Medical Fraternity (AED), a student mentor for middle/high school students, and still a proud member of the Red Cross Disaster Team. In every one of these affiliations, I am able to work alongside many like-minded, motivationally driven people for the betterment of the Tampa community.College has been a wonderful experience for me and has given me the opportunity to truly understand why I aspire to be a doctor. Prior to college, I always believed that medicine was only about the patient and the doctor. I had assumed that physicians would prescribe or recommend the best treatment for their condition, to ensure the best and most ideal outcome without any further considerations of families, customs and traditions. Of course, I never had a negative connotation associated with doctors, it was just the fact that I was never able to shadow one and see how much more there was to being a doctor than to just have a good GPA and test scores. Till recently, I have discovered that medicine is universal, involving everyone around you. The people you meet throughout your undergraduate career, the Principle Investigators (PIs) and researchers you work for, and the families of patients you get the opportunity to meet throughout shadowing, allows one to transition from a self-centered, egocentric point of view, towards a more morally-developed allocentric persona.
