Education is the greatest asset a person can have. It's important, but it should also be fun to learn. Many people think education in general is boring when they have to learn about something. I try to keep it light in nature, using humor to help the student be comfortable, but also assist them in gaining confidence while they learn.Using personal experience tends to be helpful also when tutoring. If the student can somehow relate, it is easier for them to retain the information.When I'm not trying to help someone learn, I enjoy spending time with my son reading, photography, wine tastings and crafting. Happy Learning

I am a mechanical engineering student at Stony Brook University in an accelerated B.E./M.S. program. Currently I am finishing up both of my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I decided to become a tutor because I love academia, and I use math as well as physics daily. After my first few sessions I came to love it, and I have been doing it for a number of years now. I have tutored students ranging from elementary school through college, but my favorite level to help students is high school. In my sessions I like to show students the reason behind everything. I believe if you know why you're doing something, you can more easily understand how to do it. When I have some free time I like to work on small engineering projects. I just got my hands on a programmable micro-controller, and I have been making it do some pretty neat things! I also like to go biking.

I am a current graduate student at Duke University in the Cellular and Molecular Biology Program, and I am a graduate of Assumption College with a Bachelor of Arts in Biotechnology and a minor in Chemistry. I was a tutor for the past three years at Assumption College. Working with students one-on-one and leading large group reviews has developed my ability to explain complex material to students in a simple and understandable manner. I have always enjoyed explaining material to others, and I find it satisfying when the students finally understand the concepts. I learned that in science it is crucial to be able to articulate concepts to people of diverse backgrounds. I also believe that it is essential to pass my knowledge and passion to others so they can make their own contribution to the scientific community. In my spare time I enjoy being active. I usually swim, run, and attend boxing classes.

My name is Sharon and I'm a 2018 graduate of Cornell University, with a degree in Human Biology, Health, and Society and a minor in Health Policy. I am currently a 4th year medical student with plans to pursue Ob/Gyn after graduation in 2022! For me, tutoring is one of the most rewarding opportunities! I love connecting with students and empowering them to get to where they want to be academically. My students have ranged in age from as young as 6 years old to college-aged. I've been tutoring individually for over 8 years now, and I specialize in helping students with chemistry, biology, math, and test-prep.

I am a recent graduate from California Baptist University, in Riverside, CA. I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Biology with a pre-medical concentration. I am currently applying to a PhD program in Biomedical Sciences. I have been tutoring since 6th grade. In my sophomore year of college, I started to work at the Academic Success Center as a Tutor. I tutored college and high school level Science classes and French. I enjoy tutoring all varieties of Sciences subjects, especially Physiology. I also have a strong background in tutoring Math, Biology, Anatomy, Chemistry and French. As a Tutor, I enjoy helping students to grasp the content of the material. I help them to be confident and independent. I ask them questions that help them to discover the content on their own. Along with tutoring, I like to sing. I also enjoy playing with my 3 year old nephew, drawing, and knitting.

I am a former Middle School Language Arts teacher with classes of Honors, General Education and English at Second Language levels. I hold an Arizona Teaching Certificate (K-8) with a Middle School endorsement and English as a Second Language Endorsement (K-12). In addition to my Education Certification course work, I have a Bachelor of Science in Business Management. Currently, I am part of a "Race to the Top" technology initiative and am well versed in computer software programs and using technology in the classroom.A life-long learner myself, I have found the best part of teaching is in tailoring lessons to maximize individual student success and that is exactly why tutoring is one of my favorite activities! The first step to maximize learning is obtaining and keeping a high level of student engagement and my lessons are created with the objective of keeping students focused on learning and teaching them skills that can be transfered to other subjects and real life.My tutoring experience has included all levels from preparing a student for first grade to assisting a mature adult learner complete a college level English class.Tutoring provides a unique opportunity for me to support and celebrate student success!

I am a graduate of the University of Connecticut where I received my Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major in Spanish and Judaic Studies along with a minor in Middle Eastern Studies. I am now in the process of applying to grad school where I hope to pursue my MS in Spanish-English Translation. I am a lover of the humanities, from languages and history to theology and literature. That being said, I am most passionate about tutoring Spanish. Having studied the language since I was a child, I then decided to make it my main academic focus in college where I studied not only Spanish language and grammar but also Spanish and Latin American history, civilization, and culture. I have also studied Hebrew both in pursuit of my degree in Judaic Studies and informally for religious purposes. As someone who has acquired all of his language ability from learning in a classroom setting, I understand the most common challenges that students tend to face. I am very patient and professional in my teaching manner having needed tutoring myself while growing up. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, board games, cards, and enjoying the great outdoors.

I love teaching and learning. To me, it is a life-long pursuit, with an infinite reward. I understand that science and math can be challenging, as they were for me when I was in school. I was fortunate to have some incredible teachers that helped me in ways that empowered my learning potential for the rest of my life.My approach is to help you figure out what tools you need to succeed, in both the specific subject matter as well as skills that are required for acquiring knowledge in general. By learning concepts, and how things work on the most basic level, we can build together a more complex understanding. I avoid memorization when possible because I don't believe that will stick with you in the end. I want you to be able to think through problems, derive formulas when necessary, and apply both rational and creative thinking to understand material.Although I have not tutored extensively, I bring 15 years of practical science research experience, contributing to 9 publications in the field of cancer research. In addition, I am a performer and an artist, so I love engaging with people, and finding entertaining ways to approach subjects.Outside of tutoring, I enjoy working in a science lab at Rockefeller University, making my own performance work, cooking meals with friends, and absorbing all that NYC has to offer.

Hi! I'm from upstate New York and I love to be outside, play guitar, and work out. I have 3 siblings, so I'm used to helping people strengthen their skills and learn new ones. I love most math classes, and I'm attending Boston College in the Carroll School of Management Honors Program. I intend on majoring in finance and mathematics. I look forward to working with you!

I am a graduate of West Chester University of Pennsylvania. I received a Bachelor of Arts in History and Education, and am certified to teach Social Studies in grades 7-12 in Pennsylvania. I am currently working towards my certification to teach Spanish in Pennsylvania as well. I have tutored 4th graders in Spanish during my senior year in high school and more recently taught Global Studies at Upper Darby High School near Philadelphia. My favorite subjects in school were always Spanish and History, and I am incredibly happy and excited to be able to teach both of those subjects now as a Varsity Tutor. I believe that the goal of education is to give students life long learning skills and most importantly teaching students to be critical thinkers. When I am not teaching you will find me playing sports, usually tennis or ice hockey, or playing guitar. Also, in the winter time I try to make it to the mountains to snowboard as often as I can.
