I believe every student has the ability to be a strong writer and reader. My job as tutor is to equip my students with tools they can use to achieve academic and professional success. I hold a B.A. in English: Writing from West Chester University and am currently pursuing an MFA in Poetry at Spalding University. I spent the last two years tutoring college students at West Chester University's disability department in writing, reading, and English and it was some of the most rewarding work of my life. My favorite subjects to tutor are academic writing, creative writing, and understanding literature, but I also work with students on general academic skills like time management and decision paralysis.

Hello! I am a graduate of Amherst College and the New York University School of Law, where I recently received my J.D. I have extensive experience tutoring and teaching both academic subjects and test preparation courses.In my experience, students can do extremely well on tests like the SAT, the ACT, the LSAT, and the GRE once they understand how the test works and what each type of question is asking them to do. Whether a student is new to a test, feels like it presents a genuine source of difficulty for him or her, or is trying to figure out how to push towards a perfect score, I know the steps necessary to help that student reach his or her goal.I also have experience tutoring high-school and college-level mathematics, and I regularly write and edit written works, including scholarly papers and judicial opinions, for possible publication. I have a passion for the subjects that usually appear on standardized tests, and I have loved having an opportunity to create that sense of enjoyment in my students as well.

I started tutoring in 8th grade to do some community service, but I soon began to appreciate teaching as a whole. Week after week, I made lesson plans and fun activities for my young students. I realized how much I enjoyed tutoring and teaching younger students. Currently, I tutor privately and I have not had a single bad session. I enjoy the freedom to teach in any way I like and the way that best helps my students learn. I take great pride in my students' academic achievement and I'm glad to be part of their journey to success.

Hello! I just graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.S. in molecular environmental biology. I am a passionate learner and pass my enthusiasm to the students I teach. I hope to work with you or your child!

I am a current freshman at Columbia University and a prospective physics and mathematics major. In high school, I was a founding member of Local Outreach Tutoring (LOT), a program dedicated to tutoring Bronx middle school students for the New York City Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT). I continued in the program and became the head math teacher, responsible for leading a class of over 25 students. I believe standardized testing unjustly favors those with the resources for extensive test prep. Thus, it was all the more rewarding to work with students who, otherwise, would not have had as much access to such services. I have also privately tutored high school students in physics, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Besides tutoring, I frequently write and perform stand-up comedy and am a staff writer for Columbia's satire paper.

As a double major in English and Secondary Education from Nevada State College I am qualified to teach any subjects related to English, including subjects like creative writing, thesis writing, and modern grammar. I have experience in teaching, and tutoring. I taught a supplementary psychology 101 class at Nevada State College, and currently work within a local school district as a tutor for students K-12. I also did personal tutoring with college students attempting to pass the writing section of the PRAXIS or other career oriented tests.I enjoy tutoring because my methods are out of the box. I’m perfect for students who aren’t made in the mold that standard education and testing are designed to cater to. I chose English as my subject to teach and tutor because it is a topic that allows me to get to know my students, to find out what really matters to them so that I can motivate and inspire them based on their own interests.Students are not often addressed personally, or given the information relative to real life scenarios that answers their never ending question of, “Why do I need to know this?” My philosophy is to do more than educate, but illuminate on why things matter and how they relate to real life situations.Outside of tutoring, I love to read and play the guitar. I’m in a rockabilly band and spend a lot of my off hours seeking out new music or new music festivals to spend my weekend and summers at. I also have a dog that I love to spend time with hiking and walking around the park.

To help students gain a deeper insight and understanding into their particular subject matter by asking conceptual questions and practicing the material thoroughly.

Hi there!My name is Ren. I graduated from NYU cum laude two years ago, and currently I'm working full time in a finance firm in midtown. I've been tutoring since I was in high school. My strong suits are math and Chinese (a little stereotypical, I know. But I can't change what I'm good at!).Now a little about my hobbies... I don't know anything about music, in fact I took an elementary piano lesson in my last semester of university, and received a B- for it! Turned out to be the worst grade in my student history, and robbed me of my Magna Cum Laude by 0.003 points! Still bitter? Yes.I love travelling and I've studied abroad two times. So far I've been to around 10 countries. I speak English, Chinese, and Italian.

I am a graduate of Columbus State University located in Columbus, GA. I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Secondary Education Certified. Prior to graduation, I worked with children from grades 5th- 12th. Through my UTeach Program, I was able to student teach at Spencer High School where I taught 9th-12th graders in various math classes such as Geometry, Algebra 2, and AP Calculus. I have received CPR certification, planned project-based lesson plans, assist students with their projects and classwork, and held after-school tutorials for many students. I have a passion for teaching and tutoring mathematics. During these times, I have made many great student-teacher connections with the students, reached out to students in need, and became another support factor for those students, which is what I intend to do with Varsity Tutors. In the past, I have taught 6th, 7th and 8th grade math, Algebra, Algebra 2, and Foundations of Algebra. I am currently a Geometry High School Teacher. I am highly dedicated to tutoring because I believe I can help others understand mathematics by scaffolding one's learning, creating hands on activities, use guided learning, and providing effective review study methods. Although math is my favorite subject, I love to tutor Algebra. I love how Algebra is all about steps and computation, which allows me to help others understand by using steps and procedures. Outside of math, I also love to cook, dance, travel, spend time with my family, and health and fitness.

I have an intimate relationship with tutoring, in part because it's sort of the only way I really learn: I don't really understand a topic until I can teach it to someone else. Because of that, when I was in school I would regularly be tutoring other students. I also spent hours and hours tutoring others over the Internet. For me teaching is an adventure. Everyone has different perspectives, and when you are teaching you have to be able to both provide a new perspective and to understand (so as to enlarge) someone else's perspective. In my non-teaching time, I am interested in Physics and Mathematics and working out practical problems from plumbing to electronics. I will someday go back for my Ph.D. in Physics but until then I am looking to grow as an engineer or computer programmer.
