Hi! My name is Ryan; I am a recently graduated Mechanical Engineering major from Carnegie Mellon University. I tutored for three years before starting with Varsity, and I can't wait to help you!

...to college. I love being part of a student's learning and gaining that satisfaction when students understand an abstract concept with my help. Being privileged and fortunate enough to have had a strong foundation in a variety of topics, I feel that tutoring, teaching, and helping others understand my favorite subjects are the perfect ways...

...just as rewarding for the student as it is for me, because I am thrilled when I see others achieve, and I would love to be part of the process. In addition to high school AP courses and test prep, I have taken college level multivariable calculus, linear algebra, physics electricity/magnetism and mechanics, computer programming...

...I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Environmental Science, Public Health, Mathematics, Engineering and History. In my experience helping struggling students who are afraid of science, math and engineering has been very rewarding. I am a firm proponent of accessible STEM (science, technology, environment, and mathematics) education, believing it to...

...the harmful effects of pollutants in the environment. As an aspiring engineer, my favorite subjects to teach students are math and science. I've been working with kids as a swim instructor and music teacher for the past six years now. As I've begun developing experience tutoring students, my favorite part about helping students learn math...

...a high level, I was never the first to pick up on any new concept but struggled through each one to understand. I still remember the conceptual hoops one needs to jump through in order to learn the material. I have a more personal approach and like to explain things so they are simple. Working...

...new material. My 4 year degree was earned at Grand Valley State University where I majored in Biomedical Science. This degree drew upon many disciplines where I have consequently gained a holistic and integrative understanding of the sciences. When it comes to turoring, I strongly believe in not just teaching the "whats", but also the...

...help teach my colleagues technical skills. My teaching philosophy centers on an individualized approach, with a strong emphasis on cognitive modeling as a tool to enable students to learn how to reason through a problem - a vital skill, not only in math and science, but in life in general. I hold a deep love...

...throughout high school and currently work part-time as a Course Assistant for an Introductory Calculus course at Harvard. I especially love tutoring math and making it a more accessible subject for students to learn. Aside from academics, I'm passionate about community service (I'm a director for a student-run homeless shelter!), music, digital design, and baking!

...away from the swimming environment, I started to tutor students for math and science. I quickly realized that I enjoyed teaching in this environment as well, particularly because I enjoy math and science and their relevance to my everyday life. This projected my teaching philosophy by giving students connections to their studies. I believe these...

...one of my favorites is mathematics. I love teaching this subject because its concrete and builds problem-solving skills. I think that education is one of the most important facets of life since it directly shapes our future. With this in mind, I attempt to teach my students to the best of my ability. During my...

I have a deep love of math and science and teaching. I have a PhD in physical chemistry from the University of Chicago. I have been tutoring and teaching for 15 years. I have experience tutoring all levels of math from arithmetic to calculus, chemistry, and physics.

...in Biochemistry and Biophysics. Tutored Advanced Undergraduate Organic Chemistry throughout college. Years of experience tutoring Math, various Sciences, and Spanish from elementary through High School. I believe in approaching problems from multiple angles, understanding the processes, and using real world examples to comprehend complex material. Will attend Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine in the Fall.

...While at OSU, I taught undergraduate courses in Newtonian physics, special relativity, and electricity and magnetism. I also participated in physics outreach programs focused on facilitating interest in Physics for local middle and high school students. I believe that if a student has the desire and patience to learn, no branch of mathematics or physics...

...love working with people from all walks of life. I have lots of experience working with students of all ages including middle school, high school, college, and adults :) I have worked at summer camps, tutored in school-affiliated programs, private tutored, and done lots of volunteer tutoring.

I'm an engineering major who is passionate about teaching and loves to work with kids.... My teaching philosophy is learning by doing. It's important that students practice the skills they learn right away through guided and unguided practice problems. Students should be given the chance to figure out the problem for themselves before help is given.
