Why, hello. As you've seen above, my name is Karl and I'm originally from the great Northwest. I moved out to New York originally to take advantage of an exciting opportunity to work towards the development of a safe and effective vaccine for the HIV virus. I've stayed because of the vibe of excitement and competition in the city. It truly does push you to be your best. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the ever-changing NYC landscape, stumbling about the internet learning whatever it has to teach me, studying politics both as an art and a science, as well as my guilty pleasure of watching the NFL and the occasional Newcastle game.As an HIV vaccine researcher for several years, I was taught many obscure facts and techniques. As a specialist in assay development (making up new experiments), I created even more. All of these techniques and ideas had to be passed on to the next generation of researchers, so I spent much of my time developing techniques to teach topics on which my pupil knows little to nothing to begin. Further, this information had to be passed on with no margin of error, as a single deviation between tests can render any and all data meaningless.In part through these laboratory experiences, I have learned that true understanding comes from the teaching of central concepts rather than brute-force memorization. In short, you don't learn THAT 62=3, you learn WHY 62=3, allowing you to find 82, 122, 93, and all the others (this technique can be extrapolated to many of the graduate test prep tutoring work I do).Similarly, I don't teach what the answer to a particular LSAT question might be, but rather why it is so. I don't simply warn you that question X of practice GRE Y is a trick question; I show you how it is a trick question, and teach you how to spot similar tricks in the future. Just like counting to 100 (or even 1,000,000,000) is no longer scary once you learn how the numbers are combined, so too the placement exams will lose their bite once you learn how they are constructed and how the test-makers think.The joy of using a tutor, like myself, is that I can not only show you the tricks that DID work for me, but I can also help you find the tricks that WILL work for you. The test prep books, and the cookie-cutter classrooms, must remain generic so that they can work, at least on some level, for all of the students who might read the book or take the class. With 1-on-1 tutoring, we will be able to create personalized strategies for preparing for, and eventually taking, the exam in which you are interested that are able to maximize your personal and unique set of knowledge and abilities. I look forward to helping you to find your personal path to success!- Karl

I am currently a Product Designer. I graduated from Loyola University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. Aside from work, I am a dancer teacher and love to teach core school subjects well! Specifically Math and sciencesI strongly believe in education. You are always a student, no matter the age, you are always learning.As a tutor, I strongly believe in incentives. Setting small goals and rewards will definitely motivate you to do better as long as you set your mind to it and work hard. I have a passion to teach and see others grow better as a student! I hope that as your tutor, I can help you be a more confident, successful student!

I have twenty years teaching experience in math & physics. I worked my way through college and know what it means to be a working student. I got into graduate school after being out of school for five years by taking a graduate class at my own expense and scoring in the top half of that class. I believe in empowering student success. I help students understand problems by developing their critical thinking skills. I have worked with a wide variety of student backgrounds and motivations and have an adaptive teaching style that can meet most students' needs.

I am a currently attending Graduate School and working towards my Masters of Science in Education for Urban Adolescents with Special Needs (Grades 7-12). I enjoy tutoring because I find contributing to another person's joy and sense of accomplishment immensely gratifying.I am a person who enjoys different and challenging experiences, and I believe my track record as a tutor is an example of that. I have had the opportunity of engaging in the most unique mixture of peculiar, fun, and stimulating positions. My experience ranges from ESL classes with Somali refugee students in high school to Special Needs students in elementary school. I have also done some freelance tutoring intermittently for friends and family. All of these experiences have been contributed to my teaching style. My philosophy for tackling challenging academic subjects is also an outgrowth of my own personal study habits.I believe that organization is key. I have found that a certain combination of systematic organization and simplification of every detail helps to illuminate the solution. Having a structured and repeatable approach can then be engrained in the thought process through repetition, and improvement will surely follow.Furthermore, I believe positive reinforcement and encouragement are also invaluable tutoring tools. Inspiring confidence in students so that they don't become discouraged by difficulties they encounter keeps them engaged and more inclined to self-improvement.

I have a bachelors and masters of science both from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). I have extensive knowledge in chemistry and biomedical science, but I also can help with mathematics as it comes to me naturally. My aim and inspiration is to grow that natural feeling in you for these subjects. I believe that we are all naturals for learning it just takes a tailored approach and a way to connect it with our lives.

As a current Masters student in English at Boston College, I firmly believe that learning to think, write, and speak critically is of the utmost importance. So important, in fact, that I take great pleasure in working with students who are having a difficult time with English coursework, no matter the age (Middle school, high school, undergrad). I believe that hard work and enthusiasm are the most important tools to success. Along with a variety of techniques I have to help with grammar, vocabulary, outlining, and argumentation, I try and stress the need for hard work and enthusiasm in all of my sessions. Tutoring means a great deal to me and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you!

My name is Crystal, I am a recent undergraduate pre-medical student from Towson University with dual B.S. in Chemistry and Forensic Chemistry, and minor specializations in Bioinformatics, Biochemistry, and Molecular Biology. I have a strong passion for math and science, and truly enjoy helping others to learn, grow, and succeed.

For the past 3 years I have been a special education teacher for students in grades 7th - 21 years of age. I break lessons down to students individual levels so that he/she can best understand what we are learning.I have taught middle school language arts for a year and 2 years of elementary education. I have experience with English Language Learners as well.My free time is spent with my family. We are busy with hockey, Cub Scouts, camping, and being outdoors. In my free time I love to read, exercise, and craft.I believe all students can learn; as a tutor I am determined to learn how your child learns best.

I am a certified high school English teacher with three years of experience teaching and designing curricula for 9th, 10th, and 10th Honors English for the KIPP charter network. My love of English literature, language, and writing formed the basis of my college career; I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Houston Honors College with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and a minor in dance. While in college, I worked as a Writing Consultant at the University of Houston Writing Center, where I tutored ESL students working on their academic writing, business majors crafting resumes and cover letters, and university students writing papers for their various classes. I love teaching all aspects of English education, but my favorite part is guiding students to find their voice as they talk about great books! I believe that clear, precise language is a powerful tool, and I want to help all of my students to wield it with authority. Let's get to work!

I am a graduate of California State University Dominguez Hills. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Communications, majoring in Public Relations and Advertising. I also have an Associates of Arts in Journalism. In my capacity as a Board of Education member, I earned a Masters in Education Governance. More recently, I was accepted into the Masters in Education Leadership at Grand Canyon University. I have worked as a tutor with Varsity for several years now, earning a 4.7 rating. What I'm most proud of is that I served my country in the U. S. Navy.In addition to helping students achieve academically, I assist ESOL and ESL adult and K-12 students.

My classroom teaching experience include Performing Arts, Religion, English Language Arts and ACT/SAT preparation.In addition to developing intervention programs, I have served as the coordinator for the Afterschool Education and Safety program(ASES). During this time, I created the Young Lady of Excellence Mentorship Program. Its' mission is to help girls, ages 12-18 discover their talents and gifts that will guide them into purposeful careers. After 7 years working as a teacher, tutor, mentor, coordinator and administrator, I was elected to the local Board of Education where I served for 6 years.I believe that every child can learn with the right encouragement, determination to succeed, and a strong support network. Finding hidden gifts and talents in children; helping them realize their full potential; and identifying their special qualities is what I'm most passionate about. I walk in patience, compassion and understanding and use positive reinforcement when working with my students. When I manage to carve out time for myself, I enjoy watching movies on the Hallmark channel and working out to include; Zumba dancing, Yoga exercise and meditation. More recently, I have added acupuncture and Tai Chi as pain management strategies.
