Colin

College English Tutor • +15 Subjects

I am a graduate of William Paterson University. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education. I am certified to teach grades pre-K - 5th in both New Jersey as well as California. While studying in college, I also worked as a Site Director at a before and after school care program. The program consisted of over 60 students in the AM and over 100 students in the afternoon. During my seven years spent with the company I tutored children extensively as it coincided with information I was learning in college. This provided an excellent platform to practice my one on one techniques and abilities with students. I believe that many students have different learning styles, and it is the educators responsibility to capitalize on these learning styles to provide the learner with an optimal chance at success. When I am not actively involved in the education field, I enjoy eating healthy and exercising (yoga, pilates, weight training, hiking), and I also enjoy going to the skatepark to ride my BMX bike!

Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects

I am a great tutor because of my technology background. Based on my publications in solid/liquid state EPR and NMR of polymer, catalysis, liquid crystals, and inorganic complexes and glasses and magnetically oriented phospholipid/lanthanide bilayer. Spin flip and spin flop processes in magnetic multilayers, sputter deposition of magnetic multilayers in NiFe/Ru system , experience as Professor of Chemistry, Area Coordinator in Chemistry & Chair, Natural and Physical Sciences Division, a Ph.D. degree in Physical Chemistry from UCLA, and a valid California CSET Credential in Chemistry III and IV, I am confident that I would be a great addition to your team.During my 6-year tenure as Professor of Chemistry and Chemistry Area Coordinator at Lane College, I taught Undergraduate Research in Chemistry, General Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry; lecture and lab. I set up the Chemistry labs and introduced 19 new experiments for undergraduate research in chemistry. To date, chemistry students who have benefitted from undergraduate research supported by the grant include 2 students admitted to the M.S. program and 3 students admitted to the Ph.D. program. During the summers of 2012 and 2013 I worked with gifted students enrolled in Summer Science Academy from grades 8th, 9th, and 10th and in Upward Bound from grades 11th and 12th. The research work performed by two students this year and four students enrolled in Upward Bound Chemistry this summer has resulted in two abstracts accepted for presentation at the 2013 National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists & Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE) National Meeting in Indianapolis, IN.At Alliant International University I am teaching Introduction to Chemistry and Society, lecture and lab. We use Sapling Learning and Late Nite Labs . Sapling Learning is an online homework system providing collaboration, software expertise and consulting to tailor the course to fit my instructional goals and student needs. Late Nite Labs are highly immersive digital science labs are realistic science lab simulations offering an authentic, accessible experience that moves learning beyond the classroom. The labs give students the freedom to experiment to learn from their mistakes at their own pace, at any time or place.At Mt San Jacinto College and Southwestern College, I taught Introductory Chemistry, lecture and lab, and at Texas A&M University at Qatar, I taught General Chemistry for Engineering Students, lecture and lab. I set up the weekly laboratory and direct lab technicians to prepare materials for assigned courses. In the past, I have taught Analytical Chemistry and Instrumental Chemical Analysis, undergraduate level and graduate level Physical Chemistry courses and directed research in a university with M.S. and Ph.D. programs. I have over 65 research publications and over 60 conference presentations.I'm excited about joining Varsity Tutors and the ability to help Varsity Tutors succeed. Thank you in advance for your time.

Surabhi

10th Grade Math Tutor • +30 Subjects

I am a graduate student at San Diego State University working towards my MS in Bioinformatics. I completed pharmacy school and became a pharmacist in 2010. I have been working as a tutor/teacher since 2007. I have worked with students of a vast variety of age groups and subjects.I love science and I love teaching. Of all the science subjects that I tutor, chemistry is my favorite. I have studied it beyond the text books and have my own tricks and techniques to learn the material. My second favorite is math/algebra which serves as a good brain exercise. I love solving the problems, like a puzzle and most of the times do it without a calculator.I am a social person and love meeting people and talking to them on different topics. One of the reasons my students love me, is because they can talk to me, more like a friend. For my hobbies, I can do anything and everything that can keep me busy during my spare time. I am an outgoing person and have been of immense help to my students so far. It is one of the things that I am really good at, and hence proud of.

Mary

College English Tutor • +25 Subjects

I graduated with honors from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where I earned a dual degree in Communications and French and Francophone Studies. I am keenly passionate about education, and especially about language studies which I believe are essential to the advancement of a global society. My travels throughout Europe and Asia have inspired me as a language learner and teacher. In the course of my academic and professional career I have taught students around the world in a variety of subjects related to English and French learning. As a university student I tutored adults and children in English and French, and I have also worked as a full time ESL teacher in Korea for several years. My teaching style is very interactive; I’ve found that students learn best when they can engage with the material through active dialogue, and when they feel that what they’re learning has real world relevance. My interests include reading and outdoor sports, especially skiing and hiking which help me to enjoy the beauty of nature and give me some peaceful time for reflection.

Keanna

ACT English Tutor • +23 Subjects

I recently graduated from UC Santa Barbara where I received a BA in Political Science (International Relations), and two minors, including a minor in Professional Writing. I have spent over four years working as a student advisor in a variety of capacities. Moreover, I am currently studying for my LSAT; consequently I am all too familiar with the frustrations that accompany mastering difficult material. As such, I believe it is crucial that students be provided a variety of perspectives and resources to use as tools to solve the problems that consistently stump them. As a tutor, my job is to help students discover and master these tools, not only to meet their immediate needs, but to help them build a foundation that can aid in addressing future challenges..

Alex

Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects

I graduated in 2014 from University Of California, Santa Cruz with a degree in Physics and a minor in Math and I plan on going to grad school for Planetary science next year. I tutored freshman physics in college and also graded students homework and test including classes such as algebra, calculus, and complex numbers. I enjoy teaching any science or math subjects to students, and I'm especially talented in Calculus, Algebra and high school physics. My tutoring style come from a desire to make sure students understand the topic from the ground up. Many people get discouraged from math because they see it as a large set of rules and equations that they have to memorize, when really it can make sense on a much simpler, fundamental level. I have experience teaching at a YMCA summer camp and have tutored my younger sister throughout the years. Some of my hobbies include piano, drums, rock climbing, computer programming, and hanging out with my two dogs. I'm super enthusiastic to teach others- I find I always learn a new way of looking at things when I teach someone, because there's so many ways to approach a subject.Looking forward to meeting you!
