Mitchell
Biochemistry Tutor • +24 Subjects
I'm a current medical student at Chicago Medical School and a previous graduate of The University of Nebraska - Lincoln. I also received my Masters degree in biomedical sciences from Rosalind Franklin University. I would like to tutor other students interested in medicine (MCAT tutoring) or students struggling to master STEP 1 material (second year medical students). I believe these two exams are two of the most stressful exams a student can take, but with a good study schedule and study habits, they are manageable. I am also interested in teaching younger students (elementary and middle school age) the basics of mathematics. A strong foundation of basic algebra is crucial for ACT or SAT preparation. Mastering these skills at a young age can set students up nicely for high school and beyond.

Admissions Tutor • +34 Subjects
I believe the purpose of education is to ensure all students learn and grow to the best of their ability. I believe students learn best when they are shown exactly how to do something and are given a path to follow. As an educator, it's my job to teach them how to use different skills and strategies to be successful , life-long learners. I believe when a student feels confident because they understand what they are doing, they are capable of achieving any goal that they set. It is my job to ensure that they gain that confidence and knowledge to achieve their goals.

I enjoy helping students advance in their academic journey and in their career. I am passionate about health and have a PhD in Public Health from Florida International University, an MS in Dietetics and Nutrition from Florida International University, and a BSE in Exercise Science and Health Promotion from Florida Atlantic University. I have been working with undergraduate and graduate college students for about 6 years. I am also a Registered and Licensed Dietitian. I have provided tutoring for the credentialing exam for Registered Dietitians (RDs) and was the Program Director for an ACEND-accredited Bachelor of Science in Dietetics and Nutrition Program, which lead to the RD credential, for 3 years.I have expertise in the Microsoft Office Package including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. I am also an expert in Microsoft Outlook functions.I am enthusiastic about tutoring in the following subjects: nutrition, public health, exercise science, math, research fundamentals, and writing including thesis and dissertation writing and APA formatting and citations.My tutoring style is flexible. I enjoy meeting the student where they're at in terms of pacing and style of tutoring. For example, while some students appreciate hands on examples, others prefer demonstrations. While some prefer to come to a session with specific questions while others prefer to be given a specific calendar of tasks to work on day by day and so forth.I am excited to continue working with students and hope to get you excited about your educational journey soon!

Shameer
College Physics Tutor • +12 Subjects
As a graduate in engineering, I bring a unique blend of firsthand knowledge and tutoring experience to my role as a math tutor. Having mastered a broad range of engineering subjects, both as a student and a tutor, I am well-equipped and eager to help students overcome their challenges and excel in mathematics.I have held my passion for mathematics since middle school and after graduating from the University of Florida with bachelors in both mechanical and aerospace engineering, my passion for tutoring was sparked when I worked as a TA for the thermal laboratory helping students run experiments, obtain data, and critiquing their work.Most of my expertise is in the harder math topics such as statics, dynamics, and controls, however I wish to enforce the fundamentals with my students to make sure they get the basics down before pursuing the more challenging subjects. Normally, I have had the most success in tutoring by locating the root of the misunderstanding and clearing up any misconceptions in the topics being taught. My approach is based on inquiry and assessment.In pursuing my degrees in engineering I have always loved math and science and saw engineering as the point where they both meet. From working with matrices in linear algebra to differential equations, I have always loved learning new concepts that can be explained mathematically. One experience I had was working with a rocket design team where I learned about concepts way outside the class room like nozzle design and igniter design. I enjoy learning about the designs of spacecraft, while at the same time appreciating the ingenuity behind them.

I have approximately 10 years of classroom and teaching experience in addition to tutoring experience. I am certified by the state of Florida to teach Social Studies 6 - 12 and English 6 -12. I have taught just about every class and grade during my tenure as a teacher [including American History, World History, Civics, AP World History, among others.]I believe Social Studies is essential for helping to develop Critical Thinking skills as well as honing and sharpening various other skills that can make for a better student.
Miguel
Academic Coaching Tutor • +36 Subjects
There are many wonderful views and thoughts on the benefits of education that spark inspiration and motivation. At this moment, the one I would like to share with you is from the late, critically acclaimed filmmaker Stanley Kubrick:"I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach anything by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker."As a proponent of formal and lifelong education, self-discovery, and self-expression, I believe in the exchange of ideas and evaluation of information to successfully choose one's path moving forward. Ignorance and misinformation get us nowhere and only hinder our progress and success. Perhaps the main reason I view education as a passport to personal success is that it allows people to find happiness and satisfaction within themselves instead of using external metrics to measure their accomplishments. This allows people to build confidence within themselves and chase their dreams and unleash their passions.With a background in journalism and education, I obtained degrees from Howard University in Washington, DC (Journalism) and Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas (Educational Technology Leadership). Since 2005, I have taught a variety of subjects at the middle school, high school, and college levels including English, Language Arts, Writing, English as a Second Language, and First-Year Experience: Education 1300. In addition, I have worked as an online editor and freelance writer, so I enjoy teaching anything that involves reading and writing. I have also passed TExES teacher certification in the state of Texas.Another aspect of teaching that I enjoy is meeting a variety of people, as diversity is important, and creating relationships by identifying what we have in common. I want to transform people's negative experiences with education by meeting them where they are and helping them chart a personal path to attain their goals and dreams. And when I'm not involved in education, you can find me making music, watching Netflix or Disney+, or plotting my next trip to an unknown destination. If you have ever viewed education as a "punitive" or "hurtful" process, I'd like to change that. Feel free to drop me a message or jump right in and give me a try. Looking forward to meeting and working with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in preparing for a wide range of professional certifications, including IT certifications (CompTIA, Cisco, Microsoft), project management (PMP, CAPM), finance and accounting (CPA, CFA), healthcare credentials (NCLEX, pharmacy technician), and many others. Tutors can work with you on exam-specific content, test-taking strategies, and practice problems tailored to your certification's format and requirements.
One-on-one instruction allows tutors to identify exactly where you're struggling and adapt their teaching to fill those gaps, rather than having you spend time on concepts you already understand. Personalized tutoring also provides accountability, structured study plans, and the ability to ask questions immediately when you're confused. Research on learning shows that individualized instruction significantly accelerates progress compared to self-study alone.
Preparation timelines vary widely depending on your starting knowledge, the specific certification, and how frequently you meet with your tutor. Some certifications require 2-3 months of focused study, while others may take 6+ months. Your tutor can assess your baseline knowledge and create a realistic timeline with specific milestones, helping you stay on track to meet your certification deadline.
Yes. Tutors work with students at all knowledge levels, from those brand-new to a field to those with substantial experience. If you're making a career transition, your tutor can start with foundational concepts and progressively build your knowledge toward certification-level competency. This scaffolded approach helps you develop both the conceptual understanding and practical skills needed to succeed on your exam and in your new role.
Effective strategies include breaking complex topics into smaller, manageable pieces; using practice exams repeatedly to identify weak areas; and spacing out your study sessions over time rather than cramming. A tutor helps by explaining difficult technical concepts in ways that stick, creating focused practice plans, and providing feedback on your progress. This combination of targeted instruction and strategic practice leads to stronger retention and better exam performance.
Your tutor can help you assess readiness through practice exams, diagnostic reviews, and honest conversations about your confidence level. Most certification exams have published study guides and pass rates you can reference. A good benchmark is consistently scoring at or above the passing threshold on full-length practice tests under exam conditions. Your tutor can also help you decide if you need more preparation time or if you're ready to schedule your exam.
Varsity Tutors works with tutors across many industries and certification types. If you're preparing for a specialized certification, reach out with details about the exam and field—tutors often have expertise in niche areas, and we may be able to connect you with someone who's a great fit. Even if a direct specialist isn't available, tutors skilled in related subjects can often help you master the material and exam strategies.
