My name is Julie and I am a PhD Student at Tufts University studying Nutritional Biochemisty and Biostatistics. I first discovered my passion for tutoring as an undergraduate at the University of Michigan, where I worked as an Organic Chemistry study group leader. I joined Varsity Tutors after graduating, and have since been working one-on-one with undergraduate and graduate students in the Boston area. During these experiences, I have learned how to be both an effective tutor and an encouraging mentor. I guide my students through challenging questions; helping them understand the process as much as the answer and gain confidence along the way.Fun Facts:* I worked for a non-profit for 2 years, developing and writing nutritional articles for a monthly newsletter* I love to juggle and I started the first student run juggling club at the University of Michigan* I was born and raised in Newton, MA

I am a PhD student at SUNY Downstate Medical Center studying Molecular & Cellular Biology. I graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry. I love to teach, mostly because of the impact of great teachers throughout my academic career. I think learning can be really fun, if teachers think outside the box and really challenge themselves to find novel ways of conveying concepts to students. Tried and true methods are always great in the classroom, but to work one-on-one with students requires a different approach. It's also critical that learning be something students want, not grudgingly sit through, so that their academic success is tied to their ability to understand and engage the material, not to what score they get on an arbitrary test.

I am a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College and hold a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Chemistry from the Graduate Center at City University of New York where I am currently a currently a PhD candidate. For the past three years I have served as an adjunct lecturer of General Chemistry I & II undergraduate courses at Lehman College, comprised of 250+ students. I also hold recitation sessions for 25 students at a time. Additionally, I mentor high school students, undergraduates and graduate students in laboratory practices. I have previously taught laboratory courses in General Chemistry and aided students with their laboratory reports, exams and homework. As an undergraduate student, I served as a note-taker for student with disabilities in their science classes. I assisted them with homework and exam preparation. I also participated in delivering science demos for local middle and high schools as well as tutored local Yonkers high school students in Math. Mathematics to local Yonkers high school students. I have been part of teams organizing science carnivals for pre-K/K children and I still serve as volunteer for science-themed festivals and exhibits. I currently tutor a vast range of courses through Varsity Tutors such as: Algebra and Geometry classes, Mathematics, ACT Science, General, Analytical and Inorganic Chemistry, Biochemistry, General Biology, CLEP Pre-Calculus and CLEP Calculus, History of Science, Homework Assistance, Test Prep and many more. So far, the experience has been fun and so rewarding. It is refreshing to work with a variety of age groups and science backgrounds. As a hands-on experimentalist, I'm always incorporating real world examples to break down concepts and areas which students struggle with, whether working with a pre-K/K or college student. At the end of the day, we all need encouragement and relatability; that is my teaching philosophy.When I'm not teaching, I practice yoga, run three times a week and take boxing classes at my local gym. As a double-major in History at Sarah Lawrence College, I indulge in TV shows centered in a Victorian England or watch documentaries about Italian renaissance and ancient civilizations. I enjoy audiobooks, especially sci-fi ones. I listen to pop and R&B music as well assome classical tunes when doing ballet at home. I speak 4 languages and I am a citizen of 3 countries. I enjoy travelling and I am looking forward to my next adventure.

Hi, my name is Matt and I graduated with a BS in Chemical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts. During my studies, I spent a year tutoring student-athletes in Chemistry, Physics, Math and Engineering. Earlier in my schooling, I spent two years as a camp counselor and a year regularly babysitting, so mentoring has always been a part of my life. I also have experience as a part of the Best Buddies organization during high school, and so I have some experience with special needs students as well.

I am a researcher in a neuroscience laboratory at the Icahn School of Medicine in Mount Sinai Hospital. I am incredibly passionate about science and math, and I always love to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with my students. My teaching style includes building a strong foundation of the topic of difficulty through implementing diagrams, real-world examples and of course many practice problems into my lessons. During my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, cooking up a storm in the kitchen and like any millennial, I always enjoy chilling at home watching a good drama on Netflix.

I am from the great city of Austin, Texas, and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Before attending UNTHSC, I worked as a Certified Dermatology Tech as part of Dr. Bryan Townsends' Mohs Surgery Team, while waiting tables at Matt's El Rancho and Chuy's Tex-Mex restaurants. I will be attending TCOM next year. As a CAP tutor and fellow classmate, I hope to promote a collaborative and supportive environment for students in all programs at UNTHSC. I am excited for the opportunity to meet and connect with students on the Varsity system, vowing to do my best to ensure a higher level of content understanding and serve as a positive and motivational force for students.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude with my Bachelors of Science in Food and NutritionScience from Florida State University. I was a certified tutor at the Academic Centerfor Excellence for a multitude of college level subjects including: chemistry, organicchemistry, biochemistry, biology, genetics, anatomy and physiology, nutrition,Spanish, statistics, and proof-reading essays. I have tutored one-on-one and ingroups. I especially love to tutor the chemistry classes aforementioned because ofthe useful study skills I developed from them. In high school, I won a few awards asa member of the speech/debate team. I have many tips and tricks to help studentswith difficulty in public speaking. Education is absolutely crucial for becomingsuccessful and feeling accomplished both physically and mentally. There should beno barriers to impede one's educational pursuit. My tutoring style is adaptable andrelies on how the student learns. I ask a few questions to engage the student'scritical thinking skills so that they can solve the problems independently. I haveperformed well on the new MCAT and have been accepted to Florida StateUniversity College of Medicine and University of Cincinnati Medical School. I willbegin medical school Fall of 2016. This is my first time with standardized test-prep,so I will help students with successful studying strategies, how to find freeresources, and plenty of exam practice with high yield topics.

I am a current dental student at Oregon Health and Science University. I graduated cum laude from the University of Oregon with a degree in biology and a minor in chemistry. I have a lot of experience tutoring biology, biochemistry, anatomy, and physiology at the college level as well as working with students of all ages with math, science, and English. I love creating an interactive learning environment where the student and I work together towards solving problems rather than just lecturing. I feel the best way to learn something is to do it, and I hope that we can work together towards understanding rather than memorization. Whatever the topic, I hope to be a resource that you can utilize to truly excel.

My name is Hope Leslie and I am a graduate of the University of Minnesota with a double major in Materials Engineering and Chemistry. I have worked previously as a Manufacturing Engineering for a global plastics injection molding company, as well as a Laboratory Associate for a pharmaceutical company. With my combined education and work experience, I am passionate about STEM. I love to help other students achieve their goals, and love to teach others. I have extensive experience teaching Math (everything from Algebra 1 to college Linear Equations) and Chemistry (General, Organic, Physical). I consider myself a life-long learner and view tutoring as an opportunity to instill passion for learning. I use individualized, unconventional approach to learning that truly helps students remember and retain information.

I am a current senior at the University of Albany majoring in biochemistry and molecular biology. I conduct undergraduate research at a coral lab where I am investigating the possibility of using coral material for bone graft operations. I grew up in Queens New York and enjoy spending time outdoors and at the gym.
