...to food product research and development. As a student, I worked as a chemical researcher on food dye in children's food products, maturation of bourbon, and later the aromatics of wine. Part of these research was completed in New Zealand- a country I fell madly in love with. After graduation, I moved to New Zealand on a full tuition scholarship to culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu. After the completion of my culinary schooling, I...

...and English classes through high school and college. While I tutor many subjects, I hold a place in my heart for Science, since we can use it to understand our world in so many different ways. I've also competed in and ran events for Science Olympiad, a competitive science tournament for K-12 students, for eight years! I believe that not only excelling, but also deeply understanding educational material is essential for students to thrive beyond...

...psychology. In my experience, I have found teaching physics to be the most fun and engaging subject to teach, as it allows for more connections and visualization of topics that many only see in a textbook. My tutoring style aligns with this idea, and I try to find ways to connect the material to real world examples as much as possible. In my free time, I enjoy watching or playing baseball, playing video games, running,...

...In tutoring, math and chemistry have always been the subjects where I worked with students, and those are the ones that I enjoy the most. Many people are scared off by those subjects, but I enjoy showing students how to simplify and master them. I have done some personal study in SAT test preparation and how to specifically teach students how to improve on all parts of that exam. When I am not tutoring or...

...life, and luckily, teaching and tutoring come relatively naturally to me. Varsity Tutors gives me an opportunity to work with students to help them do better in school, find more joy in learning, and occasionally, make a real difference in their lives. My interests are extremely broad, and I usually develop a substantial amount of knowledge in every area I find interesting. For this reason, I am able to tutor across a variety of disciplines...

...However, I hope that they will remember that I loved and cared for them, that I always believed in them and that I instilled in them the desire to never give up. I hope I have taught them to embrace their abilities, and dreams and to pursue their goals. I not only wish that for my future students, but also for those that I tutor. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Scranton...

...that different people learn in different ways. It has been my goal to identify the multitude of ways in which I can help people learn. I have a broad education and background and am qualified to tutor in many and varied subjects. I am a licensed attorney as well as a certified teacher, an interesting but very useful combination. I believe one on one tutoring is the most effective way to help students of all...

...to new subject matter. I believe that repetition leads to subject mastery, so I like to work many problems to ensure the student can comfortably handle the subject matter and easily pass tests. I am interested in health and physical fitness. I enjoy good music, good food, and spending time with family and friends. I like to read and maintain knowledge of current events. I enjoy working with students, helping them develop a good understanding...

...high school. I am especially interested in teaching the SATs because it marks an important transition point for students about to enter college, and I would love to alleviate some of the stress associated with this process. It brings me joy to know I have helped someone succeed and get to a place they want to get to. Having had the privilege to attend a top-tier school on a scholarship, I want to embrace the...

...always looking for new things to study so I am open to a lot of options. If I had to pick a favorite class overall I would lean towards pre-calc and algebra. From my years of experience I have learned that no way is the right way to teach students. Everyone learns their own way and I try to get to known my students I teach so I can find fun ways to get them...

I am a Structural Engineer with degrees in Civil Engineering and Architecture, and I have passed the SE exam. I volunteered as an assistant teacher in college, have taught seminars to colleagues, and have tutored and mentored informally over the years.

...to help my students learn from their mistakes. Mistakes signify conceptual holes that must be filled through a detailed understanding of a course's core material. I want my students to become fluent in the basic language of their subject. Once a student has mastered the foundational concepts he can intuitively comprehend more advanced material instead of relying on memorization. For example, a student working on trigonometry cannot effectively understand cotangents or complex trig inequalities until...

...attended Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology and participated in several math tournaments throughout my time in grade school. My tutoring interests range from SAT Math to Algebra to Chemistry. I have over 100 hours of previous tutoring experience working with students from age 5 to 18. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends, taking classes at the gym, or learning as much as I can about medicine and disease....

...for a non profit organization that puts student centered curriculums in schools and after school programs. I seek every opportunity to help students succeed and feel good about their academic experiences. As a tutor, I believe in learning about my student and his or her needs first, listening to my students goals, setting collective goals, and emphasizing growth (growth WILL HAPPEN!). I stay patient and provide specific steps for concepts. I am clear in my...

...a scientist; how much of an expert I could become. Each member of the Strobbia lab had physical intuition, concrete understanding of theory, and hard skills that were beyond what I could comprehend at that point. In retrospect, I am surprised I wasn't terrified of the distance between where I was and where I wanted to be. I think I had simply known better than to think of it as one long road after going...

I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in May 2023. I graduated with a major in Physics and a minor in Music, and I also know some programming languages like Python and Java. My favorite subjects in high school were math and physics, so it's no wonder I ended up majoring in physics in college! My hobbies include running, playing piano/guitar, and watching Philly sports teams!

...love the process of guiding a student to where he or she is able to solve a problem or explain a concept independently. As a tutor, I endeavor not to simply "lecture" or tell the student the steps to solving a problem. Instead, I try to guide the student through the inquiry process, so that he or she is doing most of the mental heavy lifting. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running, hiking, reading, and...

...major at Temple University. I thoroughly enjoy working with students. I frequently volunteer to help students with learning for the SAT and I assist in college admissions applications. I have tutored everything from math to writing and I would love to help anyone who needs it! When the schools shut down, I tutored a 2nd grader, a 4th grader, and a 6th grader in all subjects. In my free time I enjoy running and writing...

...favorite subject to tutor is, in fact, calculus, but I am quite experienced in all other areas of mathematics as well. Since mathematics is such a conceptual subject, I find that by understanding misconceptions and errata, one might gain a better appreciation for the subject. Under this philosophy, I wish students to understand their errors fully, rather than simply being corrected when mistakes are made. Beyond the classroom, I enjoy playing table tennis, video games,...

...school, I have grown to love learning. In high school, I was a straight A student and completed all AP classes in my senior year. Similarly, while in college, I always made honor roll. I've been extremely blessed with a mind and attitude that welcome challenging problems. I realize not ever student loves to learn, and not every student can understand certain subjects without a little additional help. For me, tutoring is a way to...
