I have been tutoring for 5 years, and I enjoy seeing students make progress in their studies. I'm very patient and I make math fun. I know I'm doing my job when a student reaches his or her "aha" moment. I have tutored a variety of subjects, mainly math and science, though I have also tutored students in Reading.

I have a bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Lee University in Cleveland, TN. One of my passions is helping people figure out that they don't actually hate math, and I've been doing that since high school. I particularly love Calculus, but am also confident tutoring Algebra, Statistics, or Geometry. I have a friendly, laid-back style and I always aim to help the student feel comfortable with both me and the material. I firmly believe that many people's dislike for math is due to their being taught in a manner poorly suited for them, and it is my goal to share math with people in a way that they can best appreciate and understand it. In my free time I enjoy going to the bouldering gym with my wife, reading books, and playing MMOs/ARPGs.

What motivates me, is to help my students achieve success and thrive in a world of constant change and learning. We'll work together to get you there, whether you're a College or High School student or a professional in need of one-on-one coaching through the rigors of Precalculus, AP/College Calculus, Linear Algebra, or Physics, or seeking assistance to master Conversational French or English.Do you need to pass the AP Exam, get to an A, simply to improve your score in these subjects by two or more grade points, or are you a student with unique learning needs, who could use some caring, patience, and empathy, or simply can't afford a private tutor like me? Together, we will achieve this by carefully guiding your understanding of the most complex topics. We will do it through the methodical application of reason and logic, and the tools of self-paced learning, rather than sheer memorization. Together, we can do it: I've done it again and again with countless of your peers.I hold a 'Diplme d'Ingnieur lectricien' - equivalent to a Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering - from the French Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble and earned the highest tutoring credentials from some of the leading global providers of learning services in the subjects I teach.

My name is Sterling Chan and I have been working in education for the past five years, specializing in math. The children I have taught have varied in grade level (K-8th) exhibiting a wide spectrum of skill levels from struggling to gifted, coming from both low-income and affluent communities. My belief though is that all children have the capacity to learn though at a unique rate that must be met and understood.My approach to teaching a new skill and assisting struggling students is to first establish an appreciation for its "real-world" application and then to break down the concept into "step-by-step" bites. Unique strengths that I bring to the tutoring relationship are my abilities to communicate and connect with students as well as an excitement for the subject matter. I believe these gifts enable me at best to instill an appreciation for learning and at the very least the capacity to frame the skill in a way that is relevant to the individual students' experience. I look forward to putting these gifts to work for your young learner's needs.In my free time I enjoy Ultimate Frisbee, singing, writing, world cultures, music, Magic the Gathering and Sudoku.

I am very excited about tutoring through Varsity Tutors. I've been a teacher for three years - one in Brazil where I taught English to elementary school kids, and two in Chicago as a middle school Spanish teacher. Watching someone learn, understand, and grow and knowing that you've helped in that process is incredibly fulfilling.My teaching style is very easy to work with. I like to see what the students know first, then work with them in a way that builds upon their strengths while tackling their weaknesses, so that they never feel left behind or confused. It's very important to me for the students to understand and be comfortable with the material, and I'd never want to push something on them that they're not ready for. It's my goal to make students feel like their voices and ideas are important, and to never be shy about talking and expressing their opinions.As far as my interests go, I enjoy photography, good food, and, especially, music. I'm also very passionate about language and the literature and culture of many different languages. Truly, I have myriad interests, and listing them all would take quite a while! I believe life is about experiencing and trying all the things you have time for.

I graduated Hofstra University in three and a half years, cum laude, with a B.A. in Drama and minor in creative writing. I spent two summers in Italy teaching children English, earning my TEFL certification. I now work in NYC private schools, long term substitute teaching. I am able to help with all things English and Writing, up to a high school level.

I graduated from the University of Delaware in 1980 with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering. I achieved Cum Laude distinction at the time of my graduation, and I was also admitted into Eta Kappa Nu, the electrical engineering honors society. In that organization, I was elected Chapter President during my senior year. Since graduation, I have worked in a wide variety of technology-based corporations, including Raytheon Company, EMS Wireless, and Envista Forensics LLC. My engineering experience was heavily based in mathematics and physics which I used to solve a broad range of engineering challenges. Now, as a retired engineer, I have taken up tutoring students. I specialize in mathematics - Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. I am passionate about teaching and learning! I learned from many years of technical experience the value of thoroughly learning the fundamentals of science and mathematics. I really enjoy having students get engaged with the coursework and see them excel beyond their expectations. In my personal time, I enjoy music and amateur radio.

I am a licensed Attorney with a background in Geology and Spanish. Education is one of my core values. I believe that knowledge gives us the power as individuals to expand our own reality and perceptions of truth. Collectively, I think that the pursuit of knowledge pushes the boundaries of what is known, leads to the discovery of new and fascinating ideas, and connects us as people on a higher level. Personally, I hope to never stop learning, and to continue my as both teacher and student: sharing what I know, while remaining open to learning and growing myself.

I am a science writer and podcaster with a rigorous academic background who is passionate about sharing my knowledge of chemistry with curious minds. I earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry and Asian art history from UC Berkeley and completed a PhD in inorganic chemistry at MIT. I have five years of experience teaching college-level general and organic chemistry courses at various institutions in California, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas, and hope to expand on my experience as a private tutor. Often a required subject for other classes, chemistry is often considered "the central science" as it's related to biology and physics, and I appreciate that chemical principles can be observed throughout daily life from cooking to medicine to electronics. I believe that education is the world's greatest social equalizer and hope that my students learn to make new connections between classes and other aspects of their life. Outside of science, I love dogs, food, and the outdoors.

My Name is Juan Betancourt. I moved to Florida from Puerto Rico at age 13. While in Puerto Rico, my mother was the head of the autism department in the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) and looked over many classes filled with both children with and without disabilities , so I am no stranger to the classroom lol. When I moved to Melbourne Florida I spent my whole 8th grade summer not only learning all the english I possibly could, but perfecting my pronunciation.I graduated from Eau Gallie High School in 2009 and Moved onto East Florida State College where my earning my degree became harder to attain that I previously thought due to accepting a job offer for a world tour with "Americas Got Talent" 2011's second runner up act. But I'm back now, and everything Ive learned has made me realize I want to teach people anything I possibly can, especially if that is how to communicate with different cultures.
