Hi! I am Zoe Pyne, an undergraduate student at Barnard College from Brooklyn, New York. Having always had a love of school and learning, I initially began tutoring as a way to gain community service hours but then realized that it meant more to me. As both a general homework and specialized reading tutor (trained in administering DIBELS and differentiated reading instruction), I have a wide array of experience with different subjects. I can't wait to get involved with Varsity and continue making a difference!

Hello, my name is Shobhna and I am an incoming freshman at Michigan State University! I started tutoring elementary kids in my neighborhood by helping them understand the basics of Math and English. Further exposure to tutoring was through my high school's National Honors Society chapter (NHS). Our chapter's mission was to provide underprivileged members of society care packages with medical and hygiene supplies at homeless shelters and tutor students who had minimal access to academic help outside school. In NHS, I tutored kids in Math, English, Chemistry, and Spanish 1. Not only did I enjoy teaching these subjects, but I also completed these classes with High Honors. Since graduating high school, I'm further motivated to minimize the disparities in education among disadvantaged communities. To add, I want to be able to tutor individuals from various backgrounds to minimize the academic difficulties that students including myself face. As a student who struggled with seeking additional resources when I found lessons in school hard, becoming a tutor allows me to help other students by connecting with them and learning the best ways they learn. With that in mind, I can structure the best method to shape complex lessons into simpler explanations to make it easier for the student to understand and allow them to apply their knowledge to excel in class. Together we can learn in the best way possible!

PhD Mathematics. Undergrads in Physics and Maths. Duke University and NYU alumni.

I've been tutoring for four years and genuinely love helping students succeed. I'm passionate about all areas of math, but I'm especially interested in how students learn best. With over 1,500 students tutored across different platforms and in person, I've developed strategies that work for different learning styles. I look forward to working with you!

I am a Board Certified Cognitive Specialist with an Advanced Certification in Child & Youth Mental Health. My degrees include a BS in Healthcare Administration and Psychology, and an AS degree in Architectural Technology. I am also completely my Masters in Instructional design, specifically related to accessibility for online learning. As an avid learner and adventurer, I love sharing my knowledge with children, teens and adults alike. Teaching, to me, is about learning how my student learns, understanding their strengths and challenges, and adapting my skills for their best outcomes, in a way that is both fun and comprehensive. I have worked in several countries and three continents teaching English as a second language. I am fluent in French through study and immersion in France, and I love sharing the language and culture with my students, whether for school or because they want to travel. I am certified as an ESL (English as Second Language) teacher and Enseignant de franais langue trangre (FLE) to teach French as a foreign language. I have developed an evidence-based program that is engaging and interactive with which I have successfully taught several teens and adults conversational French, grammar and translation. I volunteer as an advocate for individuals with neurodiverse challenges and mental health needs, and in my spare time I enjoy art, cooking, photography, and walking.

Hi my name is Reed and I am a graduate from Carleton College with a degree in Economics. I have a passion for helping students learn and achieve their academic and personal goals. At Carleton, I played Varsity Soccer, hosted a radio show, and served as an economics prefect/TA for introductory microeconomics classes. In this role, I both held classroom sessions and tutored students individually. It was rewarding to see the results of my efforts and the impact I could have on other students. I am at an expert level in many math and economics areas. The key to my process is helping you not just 'get the answer' but also understanding the process of how to get there. I want to help students of all ages and make them think and have fun while learning.

"Make your life a masterpiece, imagine no limitations on what you can be, have, or do." -Brian Tracy B.S. in Cognitive Studies and Child Development & Education at Vanderbilt University; M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. As an educator, I am honored to have the opportunity to share my knowledge in order to contribute to the success of others! I firmly believe in a holistic style of education one that places an emphasis on the student as opposed to the content. From personal experience, I am aware that every person learns differently from one another and ground my style of teaching in what best suits my students. To me, it is important to empower all students and encourage their desire to learn; after all, exams and grades are only temporary, but knowledge lasts forever! I wholeheartedly enjoy teaching all subjects that fall within the realm of my expertise, but I am especially passionate about biology, chemistry, mathematics, writing, and most of all teaching how to learn!

Learning is most effective when it's engaging, personalized, and built on confidence. As a tutor, I focus on making complex concepts more approachable and helping students develop problem-solving skills that extend beyond the classroom. Currently pursuing a degree in Finance and Economics, I have experience tutoring middle and high school students in math, reading, and standardized test preparation, including the SAT, which I achieved a score of 1530. I particularly enjoy tutoring math because of the logical thinking and real-world applications it fosters. My approach adapts to each student's learning style, ensuring lessons are clear, interactive, and tailored to their needs. I believe that success comes not just from memorization but from truly understanding the "why" behind each concept. Beyond tutoring, I have experience in investment analysis and enjoy exploring the intersection of finance, strategy, and sports. In my free time, I love traveling, analyzing business trends, and staying active. My goal is to help students build confidence, improve their academic performance, and develop a lasting appreciation for learning.

I have a bachelor's of science in mathematics from the University of Illinois Chicago. Additionally, I've tutored for three years, have extensive experience teaching each of the following subjects: K-8 mathematics, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus 1-3, AP Computer Science A, AP Computer Science Principles, AP Statistics, and AP Physics 1, and have a year of experience providing SAT and ACT prep (all sections). After graduating, I've continued to find fulfillment in enriching students' learning experiences by making mathematics easier to understand. During sessions, I prefer to build conceptual understanding through collaborative problem-solving exercises. I tend to employ a "guided discovery" teaching approach and adjust my pace in accordance with the student's comfort with the material.

I am a recent graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Delaware. My passion for teaching began in high school, where I had the opportunity to tutor peers and underclassmen both within and outside of school. Over the years, I've developed a strong enthusiasm for STEM educationparticularly in mathematics and the sciencesthough I'm also capable of supporting students in English when needed. I believe that learning is most effective when supported by others, whether through teachers, mentors, or peers. Having personally benefited from tutoring, I'm committed to helping students overcome academic challenges and discover their own passion for learning.
