With over five years of tutoring experience, I am deeply committed to helping students better understand their course material and succeed in standardized examinations such as the SAT and ACT. My work has spanned middle and high school students across various subjects, both as a certified tutor at an SAT prep center and through individualized instruction with Varsity Tutors. I also led a mentorship program in high school, which further shaped my belief in the value of building strong, trustworthy relationships with students. I make an extra effort to connect with each student, recognizing that effective learning happens at different paces and requires a tailored approach. Drawing from my background in bioinformatics and medical training, I bring structure, patience, and adaptability to my teaching style to ensure every student feels supported and empowered to achieve their goals.

I am a writer and editor with a B.A. in English from Pomona College. I mostly enjoy tutoring English, but math and science come easily to me as well. I love helping students get the most from their education. That moment when the material finally connects is everything. Outside of academia, I enjoy making music, reading, and working on my novel.

I have tutored students in the Math portion of the PSAT and SAT as well as the subjects of Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra II, and AP Calculus AB. I am a recent graduate of Cathedral Preparatory High School in Elmhurst, New York and a rising freshman at Tufts University. Currently I am working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics. I have over 3 years of experience peer tutoring high school students at Cathedral Prep. In addition, I have previous experience teaching the SAT and NY State Regents Exams. I have also taught as an assistant teacher at Cathedral Prep. It brings me joy to tutor students because I am able to help them grow in confidence and in their understanding of new topics.

While I may not have professional experience in tutoring or teaching, that is definitely not the case in the literal sense. All my life I've been called upon by my teachers and professors to help the students in class that struggled, and I loved to do so. I realized that while things came easily to me, it was not always the case for my fellow classmates, so I happily helped them pick up the slack. As long as someone wanted to learn, I was always available to help them out. My love of learning I tried to engender in them, with mixed results. First, off I have a degree in Mathematics, graduated with a 4.0 (in a 4.0 GPA system), and was on the Dean's List. I scored well enough on my AP Calculus exam in High School that I was able to skip the initial courses in College. And when I made it to college, I excelled at those courses too, acing all work and tests. (Note the similarities in my subjects of ability, I'm pretty evenly skilled in both fields) First, off I have a degree in Physics, graduated with a 4.0 (in a 4.0 GPA system), and was on the Dean's List. On top of that, I was at the top of my class in all my mathematics courses and was known to help other students when they had difficulties. I was accepted into classes that were usually not available to my grade level due to my aptitude and interest in the subject. (Note the similarities in my subjects of ability, I'm pretty evenly skilled in both fields) If you want to learn, just like I did, or if you just want help with something that might not quite "click" for you, well I'm happy to lend my services and help you excel just like I did, when someone helped me.

Hello! I'm Jacob, a dedicated tutor with a passion for helping students excel in math, science, and ACT preparation. I am studying degrees in Electrical Engineering and Theology from the University of Notre Dame. Using my tutoring experience, I tailor my teaching to each student's unique learning style, ensuring they gain confidence and achieve their academic goals. Let's work together to unlock your full potential and achieve success!

I graduated from Cornell University studying Biology and choosing to specialize in Neurobiology and Behavior. I have an extensive background in math and science. I was pre- med during my four years and I am currently working part time while finishing my final year of medical school. Right after graduating, I participated in City Year, an AMERICORPS education focused non-profit that partners with schools needing the most assistance. I led the 9th Grade academy where my job was to design tailored math and science curricula for 6-8 high risk academic students in 5 different classes. I provided attendance and behavior sessions for another group of students and I served as the Math Coordinator for my team. Since then, I have been working with Varsity tutors and offering academic assistance to other students in my school. Although medical school and tutoring occupy most of my time, I enjoy watching and playing basketball and soccer (futbol). I am a big fan of hip hop and the arts, as well. I have seen that the biggest challenge that prevents students from succeeding is a lack of self confidence. My mother is a part-time business owner, who couldn't operate a computer on her own until this year. When I was young, she simply decided that she was 'bad at technology' and it stuck. Eventually, my sister and I sat her down and gave her instructions on how to access the internet. The next day, we taught her how to use Microsoft word. We made sure that she focused on each skill alone and ignored everything else that seemed confusing. Two weeks later, she got the hang of it. I tutor by presenting the subject matter in a similar way while frequently setting attainable goals so that students will realize how easy it is for them to master subjects on their own. It is the same method I use to learn all of the challenging material I encounter every day. I look forward to meeting you and helping you build the confidence and skills necessary to succeed.

I have a Master's of Teaching with a focus in secondary mathematics from Virginia Commonwealth University and Bachelor's degrees in Applied Mathematics and Economics from the College of William and Mary. I am currently a high school math teacher and am passionate about cultivating a love for mathematics.

As a physics major with a passion for particle physics, I am deeply interested in exploring the theoretical and universal aspects of both physics and math. I have over 100 hours of tutoring experience, during which I've helped students navigate these challenging subjects. Whether working with foundational concepts or advanced problems, I aim to simplify complex ideas and make them accessible to every student. My tutoring philosophy is centered on identifying the root cause of any misunderstanding and addressing it at its core. By breaking down abstract concepts into digestible steps, I help students build a strong foundation and confidence in their abilities. I believe that anyone can excel in these subjects with patience and the right approach. Outside of academics, I enjoy climbing, crocheting, baking, and skatingactivities that keep me balanced and motivated. These interests help me bring a creative and problem-solving mindset to my tutoring sessions, encouraging students to stay curious and engaged as they work towards their academic goals.

"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!
