Challenging yourself to learn new material and in new ways isn't easy, but succeeding at either objective is rewarding.

...UNC and a Museum Studies: Science Education Master's student at Harvard University, I have learned science and math at a high standard, but, more importantly, have been taught how to frame my knowledge in fun and easy to understand ways. Although I am extremely passionate about all forms of science and math, I have discovered that my true passion is in teaching. I want to not only help my students learn, but to actually get...

...Human Physiology from Boston University in 2013. I currently work for BU researching and performing pre-clinical drug trials for a rare form of congenital muscular dystrophy. I have been tutoring for the better part of seven years, mostly focusing on one-on-one sessions in chemistry, physics, and physiology. For me, these are the most enjoyable subjects to tutor because through them we can begin to understand how and why the natural world works. The sciences are...

I love to teach math, science and computer programming (specializing in C++). When I'm not teaching, I'm out kiteboarding.

...University. Originally from Tennessee, I attended an all-male boarding and day school for high school, and was given a lot of opportunities to pursue advanced coursework and opportunities that weren't available to 99% of students in the area. As a result, I've joined Varsity Tutors as an effort to give back and try to help students get excited about learning various subjects, employing many of the methods that allowed me to succeed. While I tutor...

My name is Jill, and I graduated with a BA in Physics from Grinnell College. I've been a tutor and mentor for more than four years, and love teaching science and math in ways that empower students to be critical thinkers and creative problem-solvers.

...environmental science oriented day camp for children ages 6-12, where we incorporated educational curriculum and lesson plans into the daily activities. I also spent two summers working social justice summer camp with children ages 13 and 14. What I learned most from these experiences is how important imagination is when writing lesson plans and communicating with my students. Not only does it make the material and the experience more memorable, but it exercises creativity, which...

...at St. Joseph School of Nursing in Nashua NH. I studied Biomedical Sciences with a major in Medicine from the University of Buea in Cameroon, West Africa. I travelled around Cameroon, working for a non-governmental organization called "Let Children Learn" tutoring students in rural areas of the country. These included students who could not afford to go to school and worked on their own in small groups in order to achieve their educational goals. Since...

I am a physics PhD student at Harvard trained in mathematics, physics, and computer science at Stanford where I did my undergraduate studies. I have been tutoring and teaching for the last 9 years, including math tutoring and teaching online computer science classes at Stanford. Through teaching, I aim to empower students to think creatively and be able to solve a wide range of problems through general strategies and problem-solving techniques.

I am a current physics major at WPI (Worcester Polytechnic Institute). I enjoy tutoring Physics and math. I believe anyone can learn math and physics, and that the two are often not as hard as most people might think.

...at Northeastern University working towards my Bachelor of Science in Physics. I aspire to earn my PhD in Physics after college. I have previous experience tutoring middle and high school students. The subjects I'm best equipped to tutor are: math, at any level up to college-level differential equations, and physics, whether at the high school level or a calculus-based college course. My favorite subject to tutor would probably be calculus. When I took calculus in...

...Chemical Engineering from Northeastern University in Boston in 2017. Since then I have been working as a Manufacturing Engineer in the materials science industry. I have been tutoring for the past 9 years. I tutor math and science at any grade level. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I love helping my students solve problems that they previously thought they couldn't solve. I believe that anyone can succeed if they put in enough...

I am a graduate student from University of Michigan. I am interested in teaching maths to the young youth. I believe that if concepts and basics are clear then a student can solve any difficult problem in life.

...Physics at Boston University and went to Pennsylvania State University for my Bachelor of Science in Physics and minor in Mathematics. In graduate school, I was a Teaching Assistant for two years, and I had been teaching several college-level introductory or intermediate physics courses, whether they are labs, discussions or studios style. With my experience, I can ignite the passion of learning using active and engaging teaching methods. Science and technology is my favorite field...

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel. From tutoring children to post-graduates, I have seen that all students (no matter their age, level of education, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) who are willing to learn can succeed. ... In a typical first session, the student and I usually...

I am a Junior Chemistry major, Physics minor at UML. I also work on campus at the nuclear research reactor.

At the core, I love learning and find it fun. In teaching, I try to convey that sense of fun to my students. I use a variety of techniques depending on my student's learning style, but I always focus on the fun of learning new things.... In a first session with a student, I would introduce the basic concepts and core questions of the subject, and determine my student's learning style in order to plan future...

...both individual students and entire classes on college-level physics, math, and Spanish. Just after receiving my BA, I designed and taught my first full course on Climate Change at the 10th grade level. We covered all sorts of material, including the Physics and Chemistry of the atmosphere and ocean, all the way to a Model UN simulation to discuss global policies! I am moving onto a PhD program in Physics at Northeastern University, but I...

...College, having received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics. Aside from my math courses, I enjoyed taking classes in physics, computer science, music, and studio arts. During the summer of 2023, I participated in research with one of my math professors through the Bard Summer Research Institute. In order to prove one of the central conjectures of our research, I created my own math which I further developed in my senior thesis, titled "Finding Maximal...

...More recently, I have been a professional independent tutor, helping students with test prep, Math, Statistics, Chemistry, and Physics. I help teens and adults overcome fears (especially fear of Math) so they can learn more effectively and solve problems confidently. I teach test prep, Math, Statistics, Chemistry, and Physics. I especially like teaching Math, because I find it so satisfying to help students overcome the barriers related to thinking they "can't do Math." Whether my...
