Certified Tutors From Carnegie Mellon University

...and college students. My mission is to develop students' problem-solving skills so that they can get to the answers on their own to not only improve their homework scores but also help on quizzes and tests through better knowledge of the material. I hope to be able to help you with all of your tutoring...

As a recent Literary and Cultural Studies program graduate from Carnegie Mellon University, I look forward to sharing my knowledge of the English language with those who feel like their rhetoric skills could be strengthened!

...be taught concepts thoroughly and in an exciting way! While math can sometimes seem boring, I strive to show students creative and fun ways to approach problems. My academic experience only represents a piece of who I am. While outside the workplace, I like to travel, play soccer, and create music. I also like to make...

...other students thrive and do well in school. I've been tutoring middle school and high school students in mathematics and science since I was a high school student. In high school, I was awarded the Rensselaer Medal which is a $60,000 scholarship from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for being distinguished in mathematics and science. Most recently,...

...and secondary levels. I have a natural talent for seeing subjects from the point of view of the student; I am not stuck in my own expertise. I am committed to finding effective strategies for facilitating understanding for each student, rather than just process. Special notes for Competition Math: I placed first in the Twin...

Hi! My name is Ryan; I am a recently graduated Mechanical Engineering major from Carnegie Mellon University. I tutored for three years before starting with Varsity, and I can't wait to help you!

...appropriate questions in order to stay on track and respond to the question posed is crucial. Formulating a coherent essay structure relieves much of the student's anxiety so that writing becomes the easy part. Often nerves and anxiety overwhelm a student at test time and the idea of taking pause to structure a response is...

...a minor in mathematics from the Pennsylvania State University. I then received a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University doing all of my research work with Sandia National Laboratories. I achieved these goals by setting high expectations for myself and striving every day to meet these expectations. I am a tutor that predominantly...

...CMU, I've tutored college students in Calculus and Statistics for four years. My teaching philosophy as very flexible - I always try to adjust to the student's learning style. I like to keep sessions casual and relaxed, but also productive. In my free time, I'm often in the gym - weightlifting and playing basketball. I'm...

To share my love and knowledge of computer programming and technology.

...vocational and traditional high schools. I have taught a variety of undergraduate business courses as an adjunct professor at several universities, including Memphis State University, Western Connecticut State University , Quinnipiac College, University of Bridgeport, Sacred Heart University, Albertus Magnus College, Southern Connecticut State University, Central Connecticut State University and New York Institute of Technology....

...others dive into these topics. Math and CS did not come naturally to me and so I know what it's like to struggle through these subjects and what insights help in deeply understanding them. Depending on how curious a student is I'll help peel back the layers to show just how computers (or math) really...

...tutor mathematics ranging from elementary-school math to calculus, physics, and chemistry. My favorite subject to tutor is algebra because I have found that students are most satisfied with their progress in this subject. I am a very hands-on tutor, as I like the student to try as many problems as possible. However, I can adapt...

...Calculus and Statistics to Biology and English. Several students I have worked with have told me that they hate a certain class or subject, but I firmly believe that a passionate instructor can make all the difference. My favorite subjects to tutor are math, science, and history, and when I am not tutoring I love...

...well as econometric analysis. Here, I understood the importance of conceptual thinking- where understanding the numbers and equations are not as important as understanding the meaning. I am currently a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University majoring in flute performance. Previously, I did my bachelor's degree at the Eastman School of Music. Here, I learned...

...teaching assistant for elementary math and reading, as well as elementary, middle, and high school science. I have taken and excelled in AP courses, college courses, and graduate level chemistry courses and hope to prepare students for similar success by explaining and reviewing material, introducing study and testing strategies, and getting at the "why" behind...

...final class in their programs. I tutor math at all levels as well as engineering and college preparation. I like to provide examples for students and then work through the problems in homework to make sure that we fully understand the concepts we are working on. I hope to make learning fun and engaging rather...

...received my B.S. in Biological Sciences with a minor in Biomedical Engineering. Personally, I like tutoring STEM subjects such as math, biology, and chemistry the most. I love seeing my students gain confidence in their subject areas and grow over time. Outside of academia, I enjoy cooking, exercising, reading, and spending time with my dog.

...with or helping them transition their understanding into exam results. I mainly tutor math (algebra, geometry, precalc, trig, calculus), though I can also tutor students for the SAT. I believe the best way to learn math is to build a strong foundation in basics supported by visual and proof-based understanding, and aim to help each...

...in India and got admitted to Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), a prestigious engineering school. Admission to IIT is extremely difficult. Only the top 1 - 2 percent of the applicants are admitted. After completing my undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, I came to the U.S. for my Graduate studies. To get admitted to graduate...
