Certified CPC with an A.A.S. Degree in Business Management with Medical Office Assistant Option. Great tutors helped me to succeed so I'm happy to pay it forward and help others succeed too.

My entire educational background was spent in science and math classes, often it wasn't easy for me, so I understand what it's like to struggle with something and feel like you will never understand. But if you work the problems enough times and never quit you'll get through it. And asking for help is never a bad thing, no one has ever gotten through all of this without help.... Understanding what it is you're doing is...

...Systems and Theater double-major at Stanford University in Northern California, Milan is very excited to be a part of the Varsity Tutors team. His main academic interests are English, philosophy, math, and computer science, but Milan enjoys many other subjects (psychology, physics, and economics to name a few). He is fluent in Spanish and an active member of the Latino community. In his free time, he enjoys reading, writing, and taking the occasional photograph.

...Nueva School in Hillsborough, CA. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Computer Science and English. My students have gone on to MIT, Stanford, and UC. I am a firm proponent of the "growth mindset", believing that focused effort can lead to mastery of any subject, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, baseball, basketball, backpacking, and...

...scaffolding to break concepts down into manageable parts. I have experience teaching Computer Science to a classroom of 20 high school students from different socioeconomic backgrounds. This included daily lectures, mentoring, and one on one tutoring/debugging, among other responsibilities. I also gained experience tutoring college students during my time as an undergraduate. I emphasize understanding the concepts behind a problem, not just getting the assignment working, and use real world examples to allow the student...

Collective knowledge is always greater than individual knowledge. Share Knowledge.

...students, both as individuals and in groups, and I therefore have vast experience in tutoring to various learning styles and abilities. I know the ins and outs of the calculus curriculum so I understand what concepts trip up students, and I have taught students under four different professors so I am familiar with adaptations to the core concepts. My wealth of exposure has even allowed me to create my own step-by-step generalized frameworks for solving...

I'm currently a student at UC Berkeley studying computer science and statistics. I'm experienced in math, computer science, and standardized testing.

I have served as a tutor during middle school and high school for subjects ranging from math to history to English. I think that I'm a great tutor because I am knowledgeable in the subjects that I have listed above. I am also very patient when teaching others because I understand how difficult some concepts can be to grasp having struggled with them myself earlier in life. ... My teaching philosophy can best be described as...

Growing up with good mentors was crucial for the development of not only my academic success, but also the growth of me as an individual. I strongly believe that with correct and steadfast guidance, anyone can achieve anything. I was inspired by my own teachers to become what I loved, which turns out to be a mechanical engineering student, and I hope to reciprocate that to the upcoming generations.

...to spend the first session just getting to know the student. Afterwards, I will leave the student with a plan of action and homework tailored to the student's schedule.

...that all students want to learn and that one of the largest reason students begin to struggle in a class is because they have fallen behind in some way and therefore lost confidence.
