Award-Winning Algorithms Tutors serving Silicon Valley, CA

Growing up with good mentors was crucial for the development of not only my academic success, but also the growth of me as an individual. I strongly believe that with correct and steadfast guidance, anyone can achieve anything. I was inspired by my own teachers to become what I loved, which turns out to be a mechanical engineering student, and I hope to reciprocate that to the upcoming generations.

...at the University of Rochester. I'm interested in tutoring students in mathematics and/or computer science, as I enjoy both subjects thoroughly, and think that a good understanding of those subjects is useful to anyone, no matter their interests. I also do tutoring for AP/IB exams, SAT, and ACT because I think it's critically important for people to get into the best college they can for as cheap as possible, and those exams are the basis...

...as in high school and previously, I have tutored both classmates and underclassmen in various courses and exams, ranging from SAT preparation, to college prep Math and Science courses, to introduction to programming and computer science classes. In addition, I have over 6 years of experience teaching swimming skills, as well as over 4 years as a CPR and Lifeguard instructor. I have experience working with students ranging from 2 years old to adults.

...developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them. I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered feeling the same confusion about a topic that my students were feeling the first time I had learned the material. The skills and perspective I developed through this tutoring experience have certainly made me a better educator.

...can think and reason and discuss about your opinion. It is rather an absolute science where anyone agree to one and single outcome. Moreover, as I always tell my students, you can never finish better yourself through practice because practice makes perfect. Even the most intelligent student practices before any exam (unless he/she is a genius). My goal is to help students with their gaps and build them up to the point that they will...

...is all about the "design thinking" framework for creative problem solving pioneered by the international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use an adaptive framework like design thinking...

...a tutor at the Burbridge Athletics Academic Center at the University of Utah, where I also earned my Bachelors of Science in Physics, I developed a passion for education, which I intend to continue with now that I have moved to Washington DC. I am able to tutor students in Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science, having developed experience as part of my pursuit of that degree. I also have an intense interest in History, which...

...I was doing, and I hadn't learned from the expert teachers who had accomplished so much. Even then, there were still glimpses of exactly how tutoring was supposed to be. I was teaching math to a student who was smart but math wasn't his thing. At the end of the tutoring session, I got him to say "wow", and he was someone that looked hard to impress, and of course math is a topic that...

...creativity. Both as an instructor and a student I have tried to come up with different ways to facilitate free thinking and exploration of fundamental concepts. Throughout my life, I have tried to convince people that math is fun and something that can be appreciated if looked at appropriately. I graduated from the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign in December 2021 with a major in Math and minor in computer science. I have written two...

I love tutoring and helping students! I believe everyone is capable of learning with the right type of instruction. I have had my fair share of disappointments, but with the right kind of help, I have overcome many struggles. I believe learning doesn't happen in a day. But we should struggle to learn a little every day.

Hi! I'm a graduate in Physics/CS at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign! I've gone through the education system and helped countless number of students already, so I know exactly where many of the faults are in different subjects and where tons of students tend to be weak.

I tutored students all through school starting in 6th grade through my college years. In my professional career I have developed and delivered many different types of training to professionals and students from all walks of life. I have always enjoyed helping others learn and love moments "when the light bulb goes on" and students grasp the material with confidence.... My teaching philosophy is to help students learn using encouragement, examples, accuracy, and humor. I like...

I really enjoy helping students solve their issues and make their foundation stronger for further challenges.

I have a BS and MS in Mathematics from the University of Idaho. Since graduation I have worked as a substitute teacher and pursued a PhD in mathematics at the University of Idaho. I love Mathematics and I hope for opportunities to share my knowledge and love of the subject with others. Since joining Varsity Tutors I have expanded my teaching portfolio to include SAT preparation.

...algorithmic challenges and I enjoy sharing the knowledge I've gained along the way. I've worked as a Teaching Assistant for the STEM Entry Program at Stony Brook University, where I guided high school students through foundational Python, data structures, and basic web development. This experience deepened my understanding of how to make complex topics approachable and engaging. I enjoy creating an open, supportive environment where students can ask questions, make mistakes, and build confidence in...

...sharing the knowledge I gained from my academic background and my hands-on experience in the industry, in order to inculcate interest in software engineering, which is used to solve real world problems. I cater my teaching style based on the needs of the students, but keep my coursework challenging to help students stretch their potential. I enjoy reading in my spare time, and my friends sometimes call me a "fitness nut" (fondly, I assume). I...

...were hired to help senior engineers with development tasks, and I would have a great passion in tutoring students here at Varsity Tutors. I have high flexibility and commitment and look forward to helping the next generation overcome their obstacles in pursuit of knowledge and skills attainment. I like to teach fundamentals, and having put in a lot of hard work, myself over the years, I hope to be able to share my successes and...

...a TA, where I discovered that effective teaching goes beyond just delivering content; it's about building relationships and instilling confidence in students. With over two years of tutoring experience in math and computer science, I focus on fostering an interactive learning environment where students actively engage with the material. I believe in the power of practice over passive learning, guiding students to identify their challenges and develop effective study habits. As a National Merit Scholar,...

...a minor in Artificial Intelligence from Florida International University. With over three years of tutoring experience, I specialize in programming languages such as Python, Lua, and SQL, guiding students through the complexities of coding with a hands-on, project-based approach. I believe in fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to explore and innovate. My commitment to helping students succeed is driven by a genuine enthusiasm for technology and its potential to create solutions...
