...solve problems that matter to them. This is the lens that I teach through, since there's always an application for the skills that we're tasked with learning. By jumping right into problems that matter and learning as we go, students will master topics in both theoretical and applied contexts. On a more personal note, I'm a biomedical engineering student at Georgia Tech. I also study computer science with an emphasis on artificial intelligence and conduct...

I graduated from Columbia College in Columbia University in 1996 with a degree in Economics. I look forward to teaching students and learners and have a positive influence in your education and experience. I have a track record of increasing scores in SSAT to SAT and also achieve passing grades in college courses.

...to be a private tutor with Varsity Tutors because given my background and expertise, I am sure that I can help the clients that I meet overcome any difficulties or challenges that I may have. I had a lot of difficulties with math but I had wonderful teachers in high school and undergrad that helped me overcome them. English is my strongest area and my writing skills can help students who are struggling in English.

...know, because I became a first-time teacher.) When I began teaching, this knowledge spiraled me into a state of profound reflection. For the first time, I took seriously all of the pressures on this position--out of school political fighting, in school political fighting, funding shortages, etc. It was not clear to me at the time, but teachers do one of the most difficult jobs and receive the least amount of respect for it--not to mention...

I am a 2016 alumna of Cornell University, graduating summa cum laude in Anthropology with a minor in Global Health.

...writing about arcane financial topics like quanto spreads on sovereign CDS. I've also developed a newfound respect for the challenges students face when undergoing years of testing after developing my own study plan to pass the first two CFA exams (I'm taking the third exam in June). This experience has shaped how I work with students to tackle test-taking anxiety and master difficult material quickly. I have both a BA and MA in English from...

I am a semi-retired CPA living in Stamford, Connecticut. I've spent most of my career working in financial services, including stints as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer for investment advisors, broker-dealers and mutual fund companies. I enjoy working with young people and hope my efforts contribute in some small way to their success in meeting their academic goals.

...a book on sustainable finance debt financings, so writing is an area of focus as well where I can help. As a graduate of Columbia (SIPA) and NYU (CAS) with a Masters and Bachelors, respectively, I excelled in the finance and economics-oriented subjects, political science/government and history-oriented, yet Art history was of much interest, and minored in English literature otherwise. Lastly, while in undergrad I also worked at Berlitz on ESL teaching for a summer...

...favorite subject(s) to tutor and why? I love tutoring math, science and history! How would you describe your teaching philosophy/your tutoring style? I'm a big believer in the Socratic Method and allowing the student to realize the answer through curiosity. What interests you outside of academia? Ah, reading, tennis and DIY. I'm a bit frugal and love learning, so learning how to do random things inside and outside of the house becomes quite fun!!

...given me a better appreciation of the other subjects. I am also well-versed in standardized test prep. My teaching philosophy is that no subject or concept is beyond the capabilities of any studentwe must only find the right teaching method. I would characterize my tutoring style as adaptable and empowering. I want to focus on not only solving the given problem or revising an essay, but also developing the skills and thinking process to apply...

Hi! I am a finance student at the University of Connecticut. I specialize in tutoring in math and economics, but also enjoy tutoring sciences and test prep.

...because I'm an expert in everything - it's because the only thing I enjoy more than learning is helping someone else learn. A good tutor doesn't just explain the subject to you - they explain what's cool about it, how it applies to your life, and why you want to learn it. If I have to brush up on my AP Chemistry as an excuse to explain why dimensional analysis is actually the most useful...

...engineering at Columbia University. I have tutored my peers throughout my high school career and currently I've been tutoring underprivileged elementary-aged students near Columbia's campus. I love working with children but am also excited to help older students be successful through their middle school and high school career. am willing to travel to locations relatively close to my campus (Morningside Heights area), can tutor students in public buildings on campus, and can tutor via online...

...State Regents Exams, AP Exams, and SAT and ACT Exams. I am most passionate and enthusiastic about teaching Math because I love how organized and formulaic it is. I have always loved tutoring students because I enjoy seeing them improve in subjects they have previously struggled with. I understand that each student has their own strengths and weaknesses and that some subjects may not be for everyone. This being said, I admit that I used...

...undergraduate at the University at Albany. Since then I've helped friends, family, you name it. The subject matter has ranged from history to economics, along with everything in between. As a graduate student in NYU's Master in Economics program, I haven't had the time to work as much as I would have liked. The Spring semester has finally come to a close, though, and so I really am looking forward to getting reinvolved!

I am an accounting tutor with both Masters and Bachelors degrees; I have passed all four parts of the CPA exam.... My teaching philosophy is to try and break down the material into small and simple digestible parts. I have found that this works best with students, and it builds their confidence as well, because it shows them that they know more than they think they do.

Hi! I'm a current junior studying Computer Science at the Engineering School at UCLA. Most recently, I interned as a Software Engineer at Adobe. My emphasis is on computer science, math, and physics. Reach out to me and say hi!

...complex ideas, one must often break it down into simpler ideas. It is within these simpler ideas that a clear understanding must be made. Often times in the realm of problem solving, many solutions are possible. I encourage the employment of many different methods for one problem, because we all think differently. Additionally, I have many different certificates in many different subjects. My favorite subject that I received multiple certificates in is Linear Algebra. The...

...to learn and simultaneously I wanted to share what I have learned. Later in life I have earned my degrees (BA, MBA, CMA). I have worked as a finance/accounting professional in the corporate world, and independently as a consultant. Since 2013 I have been teaching in colleges and universities, finally fulfilling my purpose and realizing my dream. I'm looking forward to helping others realize their potential, understand confusing topics, and solve problem in their educational...
