I believe that everyone can learn and it should be a rewarding and enjoyable pursuit. Learning is a matter of translating interests into motivation, and through this understanding. I grew up as an Army brat, which afforded me the opportunity to live in many places growing up, including Germany, Texas, Colorado, New York, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. I attended Carleton College, in Northfield, MN, where I graduated with a dual BA in Economics and Political Science. Carleton offered a strong program in liberal arts and I was exposed to subjects in all major academic fields. I further increased my knowledge by taking science courses at the University of Wisconsin in Oshkosh. I also studied economics at Cambridge University. Before moving to Arizona, I worked as a consult with Global Collect in San Francisco, where I gained experience in global economics and international payments, and have worked in multiple financial tech startups.I recently received my MA from the University of Arizona in Government and Public Policy. During my studies at Arizona, I presented lectures at several international conferences in political science and international relations. While attending graduate school at the University of Arizona, I worked as a teacher's assistant and was responsible for providing individual feedback to over 100 students. I found it rewarding to work with my students so they could achieve their maximum potential. Presently, I am working on some coding projects, primarily in the Ruby-on-Rails environment, a language that I am currently brushing up on.I believe in a collaborative approach to learning, working with students to inspire in them a genuine thirst for knowledge. While I particularly enjoy tutoring in government and public policy, I also enjoy subjects as diverse as chemistry, biology, mathematics, economics, literature, and geology.In my off time, I enjoy downhill skiing, cooking, hiking, reading, and games. I especially enjoy games that stimulate your knowledge and test your strategic skills, such as Settlers of Cataan and strategy games in general both in the videogame and board game variety. And, of course, having lived in Wisconsin near Green Bay, about thirty minutes from Lambeau, I am, of course, a Packers fan.

I am a graduate of Northeastern University, with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry degree. Since graduation, I have worked in the Pharmaceutical industry. I have had the wonderful opportunity to travel both domestically and internationally, which has given me the ability to interact with people from many different walks of life. During High School and College, I tutored my peers in a range of subjects including SAT prep, English, Math, Biology, and Chemistry. I am most passionate about Life Sciences. However, I'm a stickler for proper grammar which is very suitable when it comes to helping students with their SAT prep or English studies. I am a firm proponent of education, knowing that it is vital for an improved quality of life. I try to impart this philosophy to all of my students while still maintaining a fun, positive environment for them to master the subject areas they are developing. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking and practicing yoga.

I am a pharmaceutical chemist by trade and illustrate chemistry textbooks for fun. My specialty is working with students who learn visually. As a graduate from the University of Florida (Go Gators!) with a Master's in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and a Bachelors from the University of South Florida (Go Bulls!) in Biomedical Sciences, I have the experiences and mastery of topics related to Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacology, and Biochemistry. I am a highly-qualified, professionally certified teacher with the Florida Department of Education and have published a Chemistry textbook for visual, modern learners.Here is what I offer my students on Varsity:- Priority scheduling- Convenient online tutoring- Lessons customized to your learning style- Hand-illustrated topic reviews- Tons of free resourcesTogether, we WILL master any topic you need in order to be successful in your science course-work.

I am a first-year medical student at the University of North Dakota. I previously graduated from the University of St. Thomas with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry. Prior to my matriculation, I worked in the Emergency Department for two years as a medical scribe. In this role, I was able to learn about medicine and the healthcare system through the providers I worked with on a daily basis. These mentor relationships increased my passion for education and my willingness to serve as an educator to others. Using the skills I have developed as a camp counselor, chemistry tutor, and pre-med mentor, I look forward to teaching a wide variety of individuals on the Varsity Tutors platform. My subjects of interest include the basic sciences and preparation for Standardized Tests. I would describe my teaching style as informal and conceptual in order to obtain foundational proficiency and skills. When I am not in school or tutoring, I can be found spending time with my wife, cat, and dog.

I want you to succeed, and I am strongly committed to helping you gain the knowledge and skills you need to flourish during our tutoring sessions. You will be challenged, and you will have a great opportunity to develop your critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Critical thinking is such an important part of your education and future. It fosters independent thinking, which will allow you to formulate answers to questions that may have more than one correct solution or no known solution. You will be actively engaged in your learning. You will interact intellectually with me during our tutoring sessions. We will build a safe and open learning environment that will allow your talents to flourish, provide you with a chance to demonstrate your own ideas, express your opinions, and ask meaningful questions. It is my hope that I can be along with you on your journey of learning.

I started as a pre-med major at Pomona College. However, the academic success I achieved in high school did not translate I had to relearn how to approach academics. A large influence on my change was my experience with Building Leaders on Campus (BLOC), an organization predominantly comprised of men of color to develop our leadership potential. This organization developed me as a leader and gave me a foundation for understanding what it takes to lead a team. I started this organization as a freshman, and devoted a large amount of my time to it by fundraising, organizing diversity-centered events and developing it into a self-sustaining entity that comprises at least thirty students every year. This was my first opportunity to act as a conduit helping people in my community learn more about taking care of themselves. I helped build a safe space for students who felt marginalized and silenced. Like the way I wanted to help people in my community with their health issues. It gave me the leadership and interpersonal skills needed to become a physician.I entered a rigorous graduate program to become a more competitive applicant. While in school I volunteered at the Ronald McDonald house also while working 20 hours a week as a server and 20-30 hours a week performing research. This taught me how manage my time well like how I would need to in medical school. Volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House allows me to experience numerous disparities firsthand and to build a personal connection with families whose child is undergoing long term care. This is the difference between treating the symptoms and considering the factors that may cause them like ethnicity, environment, and socioeconomic status. This work I can bridge the gap between treating a patient and treating the person. It allows me to see a side of healthcare that I feel is missed.Pomona's interdisciplinary approach gave me the opportunity to learn about the sociological determinants of health, about how disconnects between doctors and their patients are anything but rare, and about how these disconnects can be improved through cultural competency. This mixed with the leadership skills I gained with BLOC fueled my desire to become a physician. By combining these skills with the understanding that I gained from my coursework of the sociological structures that influence health outcomes in those same communities, I will be a leader in my community who will educate others. I want to communicate between the unaware and the informed to decrease these disconnects in my future community.In the future, I would like to work in a hospital that caters to low socioeconomic populations, much like Ben Taub hospital, and volunteer at free clinics. I would like to influence medicine so that I will be able to cater to communities like my own and improve health outcomes among minorities. I am drawn to primary care because it will allow me to bridge disconnects between underserved communities, patients, like Guillermo, and their doctors. I am confident that my ability to communicate empathetically with people from various backgrounds will be beneficial in an intensive care setting. I am excited to dedicate myself to a career as a physician serving the underserved, eagerly awaiting the opportunities and challenges ahead.

I started getting interested in Biology in the 10th or 11th grade. That was when I began to think about the world from a scientific perspective. I studied Biology at Wayne State University for five years on a presidential scholarship, for which I am eternally grateful! I minored in Chemistry after getting interested in the inner workings of organic chemistry. While going to college I earned money by tutoring classes I had already taken. I also offered "supplemental instruction" which were informal classroom question and answer sessions. I worked in a research lab after earning an undergraduate research fellowship and explored Physiology at the School of Medicine. Then went on to study Toxicology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. While there a decision appeared clear between focusing on research or teaching. I like teaching better. I truly enjoy spreading knowledge about Biology and Chemistry and finding fun ways to introduce people to these (often difficult) subjects.

My name is Hyerin. I graduated in May 2016 from Case Western Reserve University with a BA in Economics (minor in Russian) and a MA in Bioethics. I am currently in my second year of medical school. Because of my diverse academic background, I am able to tutor in a wide range of topics, from Economics and math to Russian and ACT prep.I have prior experience tutoring as a peer tutor while at Case Western. I was available as a tutor for several economics courses, as well as Human Anatomy and Human Physiology. However, I was predominantly used as a macroeconomics and econometrics tutor.I am currently working as a Peer Leader in my medical school, holding review sessions for the first year students.I choose to tutor because I appreciate all that my education has given me and want to share what I have learned with others who may need help. I was given help from TAs, professors, and close friends while I made my way through school.

I am originally from Orlando, Florida. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology from Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, Florida. Since graduation, I have worked with the AVID (Advancement via Individual Determination) and Florida GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) Programs at the Florida A&M University Developmental Research School and Tallahassee Community College. These are collegiate preparation programs designed for low-income, first generation students seeking to attend four year institutions. Students are prepared for the academic rigor of collegiate level coursework by enrolling them in honors level core classes. I have worked extensively as a tutor with students in middle school, high school and college in areas such as Biology, Chemistry and various other natural and healthcare related sciences. While I enjoy tutoring a broad variety of subjects, I am most passionate about the Bio-Medical Sciences.In my experience tutoring, students enjoy the greatest gains in knowledge when we are able to find creative ways to effectively compartmentalize challenging concepts and complex information. This makes the learning process a lot more fun and enjoyable! As a tutor, one of my main goals is to improve students' confidence in the academic subject of challenge, and experience has taught me that positive results always follow.In my spare time, I enjoy watching sports, drawing, exercising and eating spicy food.

I am currently in my second year of a Clinical Psychology Doctoral program (PsyD), and I have a passion for tutoring! I am very passionate about Psychology, Biology, and the Life Sciences. I enjoy tutoring test prep, college level Biology and Physics, Graduate level Biology, and high school level Biology, Physics, Life Sciences, Psychology, Science, and Social Studies. Please feel free to reach out if you would like tutoring services in the said subjects! :)- Olivia F.
