ACT Prep Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a senior at Northwestern University studying Environmental Science and minoring in Legal Studies and Environmental Policy and Culture. In the fall, I will be attending law school. I want to tutor because I love watching others succeed. There have been many moments in my educational career where I have struggled to grasp a concept, and there is nothing more satisfying than when someone finally explains it to me in a way that clicks. I want to help others experience that feeling. I am most interested in teaching reading and writing because I have noticed people often feel very overwhelmed by them at first but, with the right tools, they can be very manageable. I can also tutor in public speaking and math. I am willing to explain something over and over again in as many different ways as are necessary in order for someone to truly master the material. I have experience working with elementary children as both a tutor and a mentor through volunteer programs I have participated in over the last several years. In my spare time, I enjoy watching crime shows, trying new restaurants with friends, and reading.

I am a graduate of Rice University in Houston, Texas where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry and Cell Biology with a minor in Neuroscience. I then earned my MD from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. I am now in residency and training to become a dermatologist . My tutoring experience includes being a neuroscience T.A. during undergrad, an anatomy tutor during medical school, and as a volunteer tutor for middle school-aged children through various organizations. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about math and science. I understand that each student requires different strategies to learn and am prepared to provide a unique and adaptable approach to each student. In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis or ping pong, watching anime and youtube, and playing with my dog.

Kevin

Algebra Tutor • +8 Subjects

I am a 2015 graduate of Ursinus College, from where I received my Bachelor's of Science in Mathematics with minors in Statistics, Computer Science, and Secondary Education. I have taught all grades 7-12 during stints at Spring-Ford Area SD (student teaching), Stetson Middle School in the West Chester Area SD, and Great Valley High School.While I love being in the classroom and having 20 or so students at a time, I have found that the opportunity to work with students one on one is a very rewarding experience. Tutoring is a great opportunity for the tutor and student because the student's needs can be better addressed since the student is the sole focus of tutoring sessions. I feel that my experience studying the field of education and teaching allow me to understand where other teachers are coming from, in addition to knowledge and practice of my own education strategies, which allows me to provide the best possible help for a student.Many students who are struggling with math are actually struggling with their math confidence or math motivation. Unfortunately, the way math has been taught in our country has lead to math becoming this scary monster for a lot of students, rather than the fun tool that it truly is. Because of this, I not only work to help students with particular mathematical concepts but also to build their confidence in math. I believe that every student is capable of succeeding, and it is important that they believe that too.

Lead by example is my teaching philosophy. If you expect your students to be punctual, you must show up on time. If you expect your students to exhibit a positive attitude, you must bring your best energy everyday. If you expect your students to work hard, you must work even harder. It is important to set clear expectations from the first day of class whether regarding attendance, attitude, participation, grading, or culture. I am a very warm, encouraging, energetic teacher. Learning is a balance between structure and having fun. I make sure to set a leadership role from the very beginning. I love to laugh, joke, and smile with my students while making sure they understand the purpose of the class is to learn, evolve, and expand their minds and horizons. I encourage them to ask important questions and to never be afraid. It is OK to make mistakes. I do not demand perfection: I ask for evolution. Students will work harder if they realize why they are in the class. It is the teachers responsibility to remind them. For instance, what is the greater goal? What do they hope to achieve? How can we make the present moments count towards a larger vision? The test is just a piece of paper unless they realize it means a lot more in terms of setting the standard for discipline, creativity, measuring their progress, and work ethic.

Priyanka

Algebra Tutor • +47 Subjects

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Cinema Studies from New York University. At NYU, I also completed the premedical curriculum and am currently seeking admission into medical school. I grew up in Central New Jersey as a student of the largest high school district in the state. My own educational opportunities have helped me develop a passion and reverence for education. I spent my first postgraduate year serving under-resourced 8th grade students in Brooklyn; in this position, I helped motivate and lead my students, many of whom face great challenges and adversity in life, to academic success in the subjects of Math, English, and Science. While I tutor many subjects, I have a particular passion for Math and Sciences seeing as those are the subjects I will continue to pursue in my own life. I have also had particular success in prepping students for test taking by using my extensive experience in this area to assist my students. I would describe my teaching style and philosophy as a development of mutual respect; I have come to understand that a student's respect for learning is often a reflection of his or her teacher's attitude toward the learning process. I am a patient and caring teacher and I care greatly for my students' improvements. In my free time, you can find me fancying myself a film critic or picking up a stray set on the tennis court.

George

Algebra Tutor • +31 Subjects

My father loved camping and the out of doors and so some of my earliest memories are of camping in the mountains of Northern New Mexico. As a family, we took extended trips through the western United States, Canada and Alaska, towing a travel trailer and camping in mostly primitive camps. As a young teen, I started backpacking in the mountains of New Mexico and Colorado and developed a great love for the mountain and canyon country of the west. It was this great love of nature that attracted me to science--first as a Forestry major at Northern Arizona University but which eventually evolved to the study of chemistry, as that seemed to me the basic science that was as the heart of understanding nature. While my love of learning was probably instilled in me very early in my life (thanks to my parents, I was an avid reader), it really came out while in college. In finishing my chemistry degree, I realized I was just beginning to learn what I wanted to learn and went on to graduate school to get a PhD studying Physical Chemistry at Purdue University.I am now retired from full time teaching, but not from my love of learning (nor my love of the mountains) which has continually evolved. My experiences of teaching science from demonstrations in elementary school to graduate level courses have given me a great interest in the teaching of science to the general public and sharing with others, that same awe, wonder and appreciation I have."To become educated is to become more human."

Sometimes finding the right way to look at a problem is the hardest part of solving it. Early on I realized I am not a visual learner and unfortunately a lot of the early education system is built around that skillset. So, from the time I started school I was always looking for new ways to approach problems. As a result I am drawn to situations where I can solve problems and help people understand things better. Tutoring and teaching, for me, is the pperfect intersection of my skillset.Regarding my education, I recently completed my Associates of Life Sciences from Montgomery County Community College and am now working towards my Bachelor's degree in biology with a specialization in cell and molecular studies and a minor in psychology. After completing my degree I intend on enrolling in a Master's program for genetics counseling. While I do tutor a variety of subjects, I am the most passionate about the biological sciences. These subjects make up the foundation of all living things, and even though they are complicated, how could you not wonder where life comes from or how it works? I love helping students discover their love of biology, plants, and animals! I love fostering curiosity and exploration through education by helping students understand these challenging subjects and showing them how they can use what they are learning in the real world. I love hearing stories about how their knowledge came in handy on a camping trip or how they were able to help explain a difficult concept to their peers using the different methods they learned in their sessions with me.While I am the most passionate about biology, I also use my science and psychology-minded approach to tutoring other subjects as well and love helping students discover passion for things that they were formerly struggling in.I am happy to work with students who have learning disorders. It can be so difficult and frustrating for a student to try to explain why there is a disconnect in the information that other people read and understand so easily but just will not come easily for the student. I am personally dyslexic and have ADHD and remember the struggles I had growing up and getting through school. It took me years to develop coping mechanisms and tricks that let me read and write efficiently because I was diagnosed later on. As a result, I have an intimate understanding of what tips and tricks helped me stay on track. I am happy to help with reading and writing, organization, how to set goals and stay on task, and focus/listening skills.Building a strong and sound educational foundation is imperative to setting students up for success. Doing it while having fun and learning important problem solving skills helps impart confidence in students. It also helps them learn the importance of following through with what they start and the reward of completing something difficult.All students face challenges and how we approach them can make all the difference. I am excited and passionate about helping students face challenges head on and accomplish their goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors' Other category covers a broad range of academic subjects beyond traditional core areas, including test preparation (GRE, GMAT, LSAT), professional certifications, specialized academic subjects, and skills-based courses. Whether you're preparing for a standardized test, need help with a niche subject, or want to develop specific academic skills, we can connect you with tutors who specialize in these areas. Each tutor brings expertise tailored to your unique learning goals.

In a classroom, teachers typically pace instruction for the average student, which means some students move too quickly while others fall behind. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to adapt their teaching to your specific learning style, speed, and needs. Tutors can spend extra time on challenging concepts, skip material you've already mastered, and use examples relevant to your interests—creating a customized learning experience that leads to faster progress and deeper understanding.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across all skill levels, from absolute beginners to advanced learners. Whether you're starting fresh with a new subject, preparing for a major exam, refining specialized knowledge, or aiming for mastery, tutors can meet you where you are. During the matching process, you'll share your current skill level and goals so you get connected with someone experienced in helping students at your specific stage.

Research shows that personalized 1-on-1 instruction significantly boosts learning outcomes compared to classroom-only instruction. Tutors help by breaking down complex material into digestible steps, identifying and addressing specific knowledge gaps, providing targeted practice, and offering immediate feedback. This focused, responsive approach accelerates progress and builds confidence—especially valuable for challenging or specialized subjects where students need expert guidance tailored to their unique questions and learning pace.

Getting started is straightforward. Simply share your subject, current skill level, and learning goals with Varsity Tutors. We'll match you with a tutor who has the right expertise and teaching style for your needs. Once matched, you'll work with your tutor to set up a schedule and begin personalized instruction. Many students see measurable progress within the first few sessions as tutors tailor their approach specifically to how you learn best.

Yes. Varsity Tutors understands that students have packed schedules. You'll work directly with your tutor to find session times that work for both of you, whether that's early mornings, evenings, or weekends. Most students find that even consistent 1-2 hour sessions per week produces noticeable improvement. Your tutor can also adjust frequency based on your progress and upcoming deadlines or exams.

Good tutors track progress through multiple measures: improved scores on practice tests or assignments, deeper understanding of concepts you previously struggled with, increased confidence when tackling difficult material, and better performance in actual coursework or exams. Your tutor should regularly check in on what's working and adjust the approach if needed. Most students notice concrete progress—whether that's higher test scores, clearer comprehension, or greater independence with the material—within the first month of consistent tutoring.
