I have recently finished my BSc in chemical biology and MM from UBC, in the hopes of going to medical school afterwards. Therefore, I have scientific knowledge at a fourth-year level. I have also taken AP chem, physics, and calculus AB in high school, so I can also help with those and provide tips for the AP exam. I have expertise in all fields of science and math at the university level. I am willing to go through any concept that you are struggling with and come up with some practice questions to help you better understand the concept. I am very passionate about the subjects I'm learning and I want to help younger students also fulfill their potential and be more successful in the future. I can use different methods in order to make the concepts as easy as possible.

Moving from a mediocre public school to one of the nation's most prestigious and rigorous universities to study biology was a huge challenge for me. I realized that if I wanted to succeed, I needed to drastically change the way I was learning. I stopped memorizing content, and instead forced myself to dig into fundamental principles that weren't covered in class, and to rationalize everything the professor discussed. Before I knew it, I was getting all As, and I began TAing to help other students do the same. If you want to improve the way you learn, I am available to tutor college/high school biology, high school physics, and standardized testing (35 ACT scorer here). Looking forward to working with you or your child!

I am a fourth year student at Harvard Medical School, and will start working as a pediatrician in July of 2016. However, if I had not decided to become a physician, I would have strongly considered becoming a teacher. Teaching is one of the most enjoyable activities I do, and I have taught in some capacity every year for the past ten years. I have taught subjects ranging from English to algebra, from physics to dance, and have taught students ranging in age from toddlers to adults. I have also provided advice on application essays, resumes, and interview strategies for Harvard College students applying to highly competitive scholarships. Each of these experiences has taught me how to communicate concepts in clear and engaging ways. For instance, while tutoring adolescents enrolled in the Boston-based Artists for Humanity program, I would often teach students whom I had never worked with before, and thus became adept at quickly discovering and implementing the strategies that worked best for a particular student (e.g., visual/tactile examples, analogies, and breaking down complex problems into smaller parts). While tutoring a janitorial staff member in preparation for the mathematics portion of her GED high school equivalency exam, I learned how to quickly identify the highest yield topics for a standardized exam and focus our efforts on those. Each of these experiences has been incredibly rewarding, and has inspired me to teach in some capacity throughout my career as a doctor.

As a dedicated tutor with over 4 years of experience teaching students of different ages in Kumon, I am passionate about helping students excel in subjects such as Algebra, Anatomy & Physiology, and AP Biology, as well as the SAT. Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Biology, I leverage my academic background to create engaging and effective learning experiences tailored to each student's needs. My teaching philosophy emphasizes a supportive environment where students feel comfortable exploring complex concepts and asking questions. I believe that fostering curiosity and building confidence are key to academic success. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring NYC, which further enriches my approach to teaching science.

I am a graduate of Yale University. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology and two advanced language certificates in Spanish and Italian. A major focus of mine, throughout my undergraduate career and to the present, is to create opportunities to empower and educate people by making them aware of resources available to them and leading efforts to make them more accessible. Through the power of teaching, interpreting, translating and advising I've been able to help individuals make use of every resource available to them and equip them with the tools needed to become a source of instruction and support for others. While I enjoy anything from history to philosophy, my true passion lies in biology, medicine and foreign languages. I find that these subjects compliment each other when coupled together. Through the simplification of language and concepts and the ability to make such content available to more people in their own language it is possible to create a more equitable and welcoming environment in fields that can be intimidating for many people. I aspire to follow a similar philosophy while connecting with students by creating a welcoming atmosphere and attending to their specific needs and goals so that their success and ability to help themselves and be resourceful extends long beyond our tutoring session and in many areas of their life. I find helping others and making their journey a little easier than mine to be very fulfilling and I cannot think of a better way to pave my way to my eventual goal of becoming a cardiologist. There is always something new to learn and finding the right approach is key because we all operate differently but it is possible to overcome obstacles and gain a deeper appreciation for a subject with the right instruction and approach to learning. One of my favorite things to do is to learn from others whether that's a random person at my local coffee shop or a citizen of a different state or country when I have the opportunity to travel. I also like reading (book suggestions are always appreciated), running, lifting, volunteering and I don't mind occasionally losing some sleep to go see my favorite artists play in concerts.

I am a graduate of University of Chicago and a current graduate of Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College. I have been teaching for the last 5 years and am very passionate about helping students achieve their goals. I believe a great teacher puts their students need first, and adheres to their students learning style. I am currently applying for residency in General surgery and I believe that I would be an excellent tutor to help you score well on your board exams. In my experience, helping students with crushing their board exams have been the most enjoyable because it allowed the students to have a tangible outcome on their future. With high stake exams its necessary to have a tutor who best understands your style of learning and tailors the experience to your needs. I look forward to working with you.

Hi! I am a graduate of Johns Hopkins University with a B.S. in Molecular Biology and a minor in Psychology. During my undergraduate years, I worked as a learning assistant for Physics 1 and 2 labs, guided fellow premedical students, and prepared for the MCAT. After graduation, I pursued a Fulbright fellowship in Norway, where I conducted neuroscience research and engaged with a diverse student community. I now work on a neurotrauma unit, further deepening my understanding of medicine and patient care. I am passionate about teaching and mentorship, whether in the classroom, as a Bollywood dance captain, or even in the middle of a Norwegian fjord! My tutoring focuses on critical thinking and the natural sciences, helping students excel in school, on the SAT, and on the MCAT.

I am here to help you understand the concepts brought before you in class and to improve your grasp on the knowledge that must be mastered in the courses that you are in. I will do anything and everything in my power to help the student succeed in his/her course, and I guarantee success in those courses with my assistance. I personalize all lesson plans according to each student, and will work with them to find the best method of teaching to help them obtain a better grasp on the topics presented. I look forward to working with you students to help you succeed!

Hi! My name is Sanjana. I graduated from Michigan State University in 2023 with a degree in Human Biology. I have been tutoring students in my neighborhood and through the Varsity Tutors platform for the past 4 years, covering a range of subjects from elementary to high school, with a focus on math. I also have experience tutoring for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, and I specialize in STEM subjects such as chemistry and biology. I love teaching and strive to be creative in my methods to ensure that each student understands the concepts in the best way possible. One approach I often use is incorporating real-world examples, which helps students see how the material applies to everyday life. When it comes to elementary reading and writing, I aim to make the content engaging and tailored to each student's interests, helping them become more motivated to read and write.
