I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Cornell University in 2011 with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. For the past decade I've worked in renewable energy designing wind turbines for some of the top tier global wind power companies. In 2017, I co-founded a wind power business that has been funded by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, US Department of Agriculture, and US Air Force.My approach to tutoring math and physics is to incorporate real life use cases. When students see the practical application of a subject, they are more likely to enjoy and understand it. I will incorporate aspects of renewable energy, wind power in particular, into my tutoring. Renewable energy is one of the fastest growing industries in the US and integrating it into a student's lessons can stimulate interest in a promising career path.Outside of mechanical engineering, my personal interests are soccer, carpentry, and kiteboarding.
Samantha
ACT English Tutor • +43 Subjects
I graduated from the University of Rochester with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Neurobiology. I taught English in Vienna, Austria and have worked throughout my life with children through my experiences as a camp counselor. I currently work at an after school program that teaches children Science through hands on experiments. I am passionate about teaching both Biology and Mathematics and feel that every student should learn to not only understand the subjects, but enjoy the learning experience. I make sure to have a series of activities and examples (usually a hands on activity) that will help a student understand the concepts behind their problems and make sure to personalize my teaching style to the student's learning style. Outside of teaching, I am an avid reader, a writer, and love to learn any instrument that I can find.

While at the University of the West of England, I worked in the UWE Outreach Center. From October 2008 until August 2012, I worked under the AimHigher and SchoolsLink programs mentoring and tutoring local elementary and high school pupils. I promoted and provided pupils with the resources to realize the goal of attaining higher education, desired exam results, and a better understanding of core subjects while sharing the opportunities that my university (UWE) had to offer on and beyond campus. This was done through in class teaching support/assistance mostly in Math classes; one-to-one or small group sessions in school libraries tutoring or mentoring students with specific needs; chaperoning and leading open day campus tours and university sponsored educational trips; and personally presenting motivational assembly speeches. A high level of communication, organization, and creativity was developed through the interactive sessions with pupils; many of the activities and lessons were planned, lead, and delivered independently and with input from school teachers. I found the impact I made in the positive and productive direction, decision, and achievement of the young pupils to be extremely rewarding.In June 2010, I was selected to be a part of the Student Associates Scheme. This was a three week UK Government sponsored teaching placement in City Academy Bristol high school supporting the Mathematics department and lessons as full time teaching assistant.In the university I also took my developed teaching style into sports. As the treasurer of the university Dance Squad and the Vice Captain of the Competitive Cheerleading Squad, I volunteered in local elementary schools by running afterschool clubs and programs for dance and cheerleading.

After getting my B.A. in Theater from Macalester College and completing two years of graduate education courses at Hamline University, I discovered a passion for one-on-one tutoring. Now, I am thrilled to be working with Varsity Tutors as a tutor of virtually all K-12 level mathematics (and several other subjects!), in order to bring high-quality, caring, and dedicated tutoring to students in need. I am here to help! Whether a student needs to prepare for a test, expand their knowledge for personal enrichment, or gain some extra practice with the basics, I will always give them my best. What this means is that all of my students get a personalized approach to their learning, based on individual needs and goals. When standardized textbooks and other preparatory materials apply, I use those - when they don't, I don't, and create my own materials instead. I listen carefully to my students and work hard at improving fundamental understanding, so that more than just knowing how to solve problems, they know why those solutions make sense. This allows them greater flexibility and ability to succeed at math in general, all while improving their confidence that math is something they can comprehend, and use, to their advantage. And for students who already know that, then I can simply promise that I will be able to share their enthusiasm. Two years of experience in tutoring math have already taught me so much, and I can't wait to continue to learn from my students, while sharing the knowledge and expertise that I know will help them to succeed!

It gives me immense pleasure to be a tutor. I find every session to be a wonderful experience filled with personal fulfillment. As such, I am eager to be your tutor and look forward to working with you.To share a little about me, I recently graduated with my Master's degree from Meharry Medical College with a concentration in Health Science. A year before, I obtained my Baccalaureate degree in Biomedical Science from the University of South Florida (USF). While obtaining both degrees, I worked as a researcher in a zoology and neuroscience lab.The projects I worked on introduced me to the notion that in research and in life, "one size, does not fit all". Rather, multiple factors play a roles in success. This is a lesson that would stick with me as I ventured into my tutoring career.My goal for students is to help them become great independent learners. We accomplish this goal by first getting to know you as a student. For instance, how do you study best? Is it with music or in a quiet space? When do you study best? Are you a visual, auditory or kinesthetic learner? After answering these questions, we will come up with measurable goals that will help boost your confidence in the material. This confidence will translate into good test scores and help you master the topic. No matter what type of student you are, we will both work together to design a successful lesson plan that fits you and supports your weak areas. I look forward to helping you accomplish your learning goals.

Hey! I am currently a student at Duke University studying Biomedical Engineering and Economics. Just a little bit about me and some of my interests. Some of my favorite academic interests include memoirs and modern classics. I think Catcher in the Rye is still one of my all time favorite books but Percy Jackson, a modern classic, is up there too. Beyond academics, I take great guilty pleasure in watching TV shows such as Westworld, Sherlock, How I Met Your Mother, and even The Bachelorette when I'm at a low point.Beyond personal interests, tutoring has always been a side project of mine. Even since middle school, at a local elementary school, I would help tutor students in basic arithmetic and spelling. In high school, while the curriculum changed from multiplication tables to Calculus, the idea was still the same: help as many people reach their full potential as possible. Now, through Varsity Tutors, I can help continue helping as many people as possible! I look forward to working with you.

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +52 Subjects
I am a member of the University of Rochester Class of 2015, working towards a Bachelor's of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering. I have been tutoring for four years in a professional setting and seven years on a volunteer basis, specializing in math and science education. I also worked as a curriculum designer for an SAT tutoring firm. I enjoy tutoring because I am strongly against the practice of teaching to the lowest common denominator of students and I believe that every student is entitled to a teacher that will personalize their curriculum and teaching pace to make sure that the student understands the subject in a meaningful and useful way.
Alex
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +16 Subjects
I graduated from Central Washington University in 2017 with a B.S. in mathematics and a B.S. in physics, and am currently working on a PhD in physics. I tutored physics during my time at Central, and have taught labs and given lectures as a graduate student. As someone who struggled at the beginning of his academic career, it is easy for me to relate to those who are at a loss in regard to physics. In high school, I was one of the many students who are heard to say, "I'm just not good at math." Through practice, however, I was able to vastly improve my problem-solving abilities. As a tutor, I want to share this experience with others, and show them that instead of thinking "I'm not good at math," they should think, "I will be good at math."Besides physics and mathematics, my interests include writing, music, and gaming. If you're looking for an enthusiastic, knowledgeable, low-stress tutor, you've found him!
