...now, and hopefully, I will be enrolled in a medical school by August of 2016. I started tutoring in high school. Math always came natural to me, but I also understood the struggles of understanding math. Along with math, Physics and Biology have always been my forte. I think physics helps us understand how the universe functions in our day to day lives. Something as simple as pushing the door, driving a car at a...

...Newsweek. While there I took extensive college coursework in math, physics, chemistry, biology, and the humanities while also completing my high school education. After graduating I began my undergraduate education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, recently ranked by US News as the number one university in the country. At MIT I am pursuing a degree in mathematics. During this time I have acquired great experience in tutoring and teaching. I...

...an academic tutor for middle and high school students, volunteering in the Emergency Department of a local hospital, and (most recently) applying to medical school. My favorite part about tutoring is working to engage students to feel as excited and interested as I do towards the material that I teach and hearing my students tell me that they learn more with me in an hour than they do in an entire week of school! When...

...to mathematics for elementary to college students. I believe that the most productive progress can be made with the one-on-one interaction tutors can have with students. With this interaction, I can tailor my teaching methods and figure out a better way to explain a difficult concept. Being able to be a part of a student's learning progress and helping them reach their potential is very fulfilling. And seeing how a student can surprise themselves with...

...My research earned me the most coveted award for a student in any field and at any level at Yale at the end of my Ph.D.: the only time it was awarded to STEM in 35 years! Now, completely immersed in research in developing best the material for clean energy technology, I really miss the teaching that I immensely enjoyed for last 10 years. My secret: success in tests (and maybe in life, too) comes...

My favorite word is "why." And why is that, you may ask? Well, I am subject to a never-ending flow of knowledge because I perpetually wonder why. The search for answers to any question beginning with "why" has taught me everything I know -- and put me in a position to disseminate my knowledge to other people. Tutoring is the best possible way for me to do that.

A Symbolic Systems and Theater double-major at Stanford University in Northern California, Milan is very excited to be a part of the Varsity Tutors team. His main academic interests are English, philosophy, math, and computer science, but Milan enjoys many other subjects (psychology, physics, and economics to name a few). He is fluent in Spanish and an active member of the Latino community. In his free time, he enjoys reading, writing, and taking the occasional...

...housing in a wide range of subjects. While I can tutor many different subjects, I am best with Math and English because of the amount of experience I have tutoring in these areas. I also have a particular interest in standardized tests such as the SAT and would want to tutor in that as well. I particularly have an interest in tutoring the SAT Math section, as that is something many students have difficulty with...

...While I tutor a broad range of subjects, the subjects that interest me the most are calculus, college level mathematics, and test prep. I have a calm, adaptive tutoring style. I revise my tutoring strategies to fit each student's unique traits and I believe that a calm demeanor causes students to be less stressed, which in turn improves their performance. In my spare time, I enjoy following 49ers football and playing obscure computer games.

...of my teaching and learning philosophy is that I will have mastered a material if I can teach another person these concepts and come up with my own examples to illustrate my understanding. I will infuse this goal within my tutoring sessions, engaging tutees to really learn and challenge them to think critically. Another important aspect of my tutoring goals is to help the tutee. Be clear and transparent with me about your goals and...

...pursued Molecular and Cell Biology with an emphasis in Immunology. I worked as a peer tutoring during college and I currently tutor for a non-profit organization that targets high school students. I speak English and Chinese; I speak both Cantonese and Mandarin. My strengths as a tutor are threefold. I like to focus on exam skills. I also like to build special study methods to help students improve study efficiency. Finally, I like to focus...

My entire educational background was spent in science and math classes, often it wasn't easy for me, so I understand what it's like to struggle with something and feel like you will never understand. But if you work the problems enough times and never quit you'll get through it. And asking for help is never a bad thing, no one has ever gotten through all of this without help.... Understanding what it is you're doing is...

...tutoring. I am most passionate to tutor Calculus, Linear algebra, and ACT/SAT Math. I believe that the biggest obstacles to learning Math are 1. judgmental social environments and 2. inexperience with the multidimensional nature of math. As such, I foster an open environment where all mathematical questions and concerns are welcome and I always strive to teach three key mathematical skills: identifying context, pictorial intuition, and algebraic manipulation. I look forward to working with you!

...I went on to work at Mathnasium, where I tutored groups of up to 5 students at a time in math ranging from 1st grade to 8th grade. I am very familiar with how to motivate students who are bored or dont feel like doing work! As a freshman in college, I also volunteered by teaching reading and math to underprivileged students through Each One Teach One. In college, I went on to be employed...

I am passionate about helping students get better! I love Mathematics and Physics, and want to be involved with the subjects for as long as possible.... To be flexible in teaching methods according to students' needs, and to be available to them for as much as they need.

Hello! I have over 10 years of experience tutoring and teaching math. I've taught everyone from elementary school students to adults, in subjects ranging from arithmetic to graduate level mathematics. I graduated from UCBerkeley with a BA in applied math, and from SFSU with a MA in math. ... Whenever helping a student, I make sure to show them every step of the process, working them not only through the technical details but also my thought...

...I love teaching and find the process of helping people discover how much they can do and how "easy" some of this can be once you have the right perspective awesomely satisfying! I have an undergraduate degree in mathematics and experience with graduate level math classes and numerical research. Math is one of the subjects I really love thinking and talking about. I have tutored students to prepare the SAT/ACT and have taught calculus and...

Hi! My name is Andrew; I'm currently studying Biomedical Engineering at Duke University. In my free time, I'm an avid debater, frisbee player, and nap-taker. Recently, I've been researching metabolic engineering in yeast- ask me about it if you want to be bored. I love to learn, and can't wait to help everyone here learn with me!
