I'm excited to be a tutor here at Varsity Tutors. I'm a very patient teacher who believes strongly in understanding the "why" behind each topic in order to understand how to solve the problems that a student will face as he/she progresses through a class. Problem-solving skills are a major emphasis in my teachings, as that can streamline the application of knowledge on a test or quiz. I hold a degree in Criminal Justice and am pursuing an additional degree in Computer Science. In my spare time, I'm an avid baseball fan (go Yankees!), movie buff, and bookworm. I enjoy working on my computer and spending time with my fiancé on the weekends.

My name is Aaron Jackson. I am a student at Columbia University in the City of New York studying biochemistry on the pre-medicine track. I also enjoy meeting new people, exploring world cultures, and developing my sense of self.

I have had a passion for learning and teaching for as long as I can remember, and I believe that every child deserves the chance to succeed academically. I graduated from Williams College with a degree in history. Next summer, I will matriculate at Mount Sinai Medical School in New York City.I began tutoring elementary and middle school students while in high school. We worked on math, science, social studies, and English. During college, I spent a month as a teacher's assistant in a middle school English Language Learners' classroom in Portland, Maine. The summer after my freshman year at Williams, I spent three weeks in rural Tanzania teaching English to seventh grade students. This past summer, I spent eleven weeks at the same Tanzanian school teaching English to students in kindergarten through ninth grade.Everyone has a different learning style, so I am open to suggestions and flexible in my teaching style in order to ensure that each student is successful and reaches his or her academic goals. Tutoring can be a wonderful confidence booster for students, and I am eager to share my enthusiasm with my students. I look forward to working with and learning from students in the Atlanta area.

I am a firm believer in the concept of self-directed learning. To me, learning is not about memorizing facts and numbers (although I do love facts) but about creating your own experience. Learning truly becomes passion when it asks as much from the student as it gives back. My role as a tutor is to be a collaborator. I am here to challenge and help, but I am not here to direct the learning. That must come from the student. I truly believe that this approach leads to more passionate and better students.I am a professional improv coach and performer as well. I feel those skills help me be a better tutor. Flexibility is important in maximizing a students potential. I am also obsessed with historical non-fiction. I can talk history for hours.

A personal history of educating: peer tutor since 2013, professional tutor since 2016, that one kid you ask for homework help since /literally forever./If you've ever met me in a classroom, I've always been the person to ask for explanations from when your teacher is making less than zero sense - you can trust me to make simple meaning out of whatever complex concept you've got in front of you. I don't like to think of tutoring as additional teaching so much as untangling stuff you've already been taught, and helping you fully understand things you already sort of know. And in computer science - my field of expertise - any big problem you throw into the world can be divided and conquered, as long as you know how.The door is already there. You've already got the keys in hand. I'm happy to help you open them.

Hi! I'm a rising junior at Swarthmore College, where I study math and philosophy (and a little bit of computer science for fun). I scored a 2380 on my SAT, and enjoy teaching students the skills necessary to excel at their own SATs and other standardized tests. I also have experience helping students academically at the middle school and high school levels, primarily with math and English classes.As a tutor, I strive to make concepts intuitive and easily understandable. My goal is to equip my pupils with the tools they need to tackle any academic or intellectual challenge. Every student learns differently, so my teaching style is versatile, but my primary focus is always on finding ways to help my students grasp difficult ideas.When I'm not tutoring or studying for class, I enjoy playing squash, chess and pickup basketball. I'm also a fan of crossword puzzles.

I have been an educator for almost 30 years and have worked with children of all ages from kindergarten all the way to college and beyond. As a classroom teacher, I taught both elementary and high school. I am currently a high school counselor and the combination of all of my experience gives me a unique window into the world of education and college entrance. My experience, combined with my doctoral degree with a focus on learning disabilities, allows me a varied perspective while working with children. I work with the whole child and pride myself ion being able to meet each of my students where they are while pushing them to achieve more than they ever thought possible. As a mother of two children with dyslexia, I have seen first hand, the frustration and struggles that accompany learning challenges and I am here to help. In addition to my experience in education, I have also been writing for over 30 years and have had articles and poems published in multiple magazines and journals and have co-authored several medical journal articles related to food allergy and bullying and have also published two books about counseling and learning disabilities through Routledge Press.

I am a fifth grade teacher who enjoys working with students!

I had great math and science teachers who really made a world of difference when it came by my appreciation for and understanding of the subjects. I also realize how frustrating it can be when we aren't getting the help we need and don't exactly understand the material presented to us. For that reason, I would love to help increase your knowledge and confidence in these subjects! I have lots of experience tutoring in AP chemistry and algebra, in particular, and I am more than willing to work on finding a style that works for your learning.

I am a scientist turned educator that uses the essence of science, curiosity, to guide my teaching. I earned an Industrial Microbiology degree at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagez Campus. I have been teaching Middle School Science for 3 years and provided tutoring for the 6th and 7th graders I have taught. Teaching these grade levels provided me with experience to aid in Earth Science, Space Science, Environmental Science, Life Science, and Physical Science. I love tutoring for different Science subjects because the magic to science is feeding your curiosity and curiosity can be never-ending. I feel that in tutoring one must explore the deeper and untouched topics explained in class to discover true understanding of a subject. I find it very important to teach efficient ways to use the internet to reach our academic goals. Due to the technological age we live in, we sometimes get lost in the excess information available and can get tricked by articles not backed by research. I am definitely a technology aficionado who is a gamer (PS4) but I also enjoy playing the violin, and love learning dance choreographies.
