I am a graduate from the University of Pennsylvania where I received my Bachelor's of Arts in Health & Societies with minors in Hispanic Studies and Chemistry while on the premed track. My tutoring experience begins junior year of high school where I tutored middle schoolers in pre-Algebra and Algebra and high school students in biology. I expanded my services in college to include mentoring as well as tutoring in gastroenterology program as part of a service project in collaboration with the Perelman School of Medicine targeted to Philadelphian high school students. Since graduation, I have continued in this role as a 4-8th grade math tutor. Math is a difficult subject but with sufficient time and attention, I believe every student is capable of excelling. I make it a point to curate my lesson plans to the specific needs of my students and emphasize open communication that allows for deeper understanding.

I am passionate about working with students to strengthen their core knowledge and test-taking skills in the subjects of mathematics and science. I have completed my B.S. with a major in Chemistry and a minor in Biology, and I am now back in school to earn my MBA degree. My philosophy surrounding tutoring is working together with a student to put them in the best possible situation to succeed!

I have a Bachelor's in Biomedical Physiology from Simon Fraser University and currently pursuing my Doctorate in Medicine at the University of British Columbia. I have over 10 years of tutoring experience. I specialize in Anatomy and Physiology, High School Chemistry and Physics, and various levels of Mathematics, including Pre-Calculus and Trigonometry. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel motivated to ask questions and delve deeply into the subject matter. I tailor my approach to address each student's unique learning style, fostering confidence and academic achievement. My passion for teaching is further enriched by my love for cycling, running, hiking and exploring the natural world, which allows me to incorporate real-world examples into my lessons, making complex concepts more relatable and understandable.

Hi! I am Josie, and I am a first year medical student at Indiana University School of Medicine. I graduated from the University of Notre Dame in May 2025 where I studied neuroscience and Spanish. I am passionate about tutoring because I love to work with students to help them achieve their goals and prosper. I am lucky that academics have come pretty naturally to me, so I want to share some of the tips and tricks that have helped me with other students. I have five years of experience tutoring middle school students, and I have also taught 1st graders in the past. I usually tutor math ranging from elementary school up to Algebra 2, but have also tutored biology, Spanish, and helped with essay-writing. In my tutoring sessions, I emphasize practice and autonomy to help the students learn material without me doing the work for them. I like to help them understand why a certain process or mechanism works. I can't wait to get to know my students! :)

I am a current biological sciences major and bioengineering minor at the University of Notre Dame. As a biology major/bioengineering minor, math and science are my passions, and I love to share the joy I derive from those subjects with students. I have been a math tutor to elementary, middle, and high school students. While my favorite subject to tutor is any type of math, I also tutor biology. As a tutor, I believe that learning should be fun, and work to make it that way. Since I am still currently in school, I am constantly being exposed to new methods of teaching and am able to utilize those methods when tutoring. When I am not in the middle of a good book, I enjoy cooking and gardening.

I am a graduate of the University of Kansas, with bachelor's degrees in biology and environmental studies. While I am fascinated by the natural world, I also have interests in other fields, such as literature, philosophy, and foreign languages. One of the reasons I like tutoring is because it allows me to use what I have learned in such fields to help others gain confidence in and become excited about a subject. I especially love to tutor in French, which I studied at the Universit du Havre and minored in during college. I believe that curiosity is the most important ingredient in learning. As a tutor, I ask questions to help students come to right answers on their own, and I show students how to ask their own questions as well. I believe in giving my students resources that help them continue learning after tutoring is finished and throughout their lives. In addition, using my knowledge of science, math, the arts, and the humanities, I make connections between different subjects to help my students see how what we're working on isn't so strange after all! Before beginning to work with Varsity Tutors in August of 2014, I worked in a K-8 school as an intervention math teacher. There, I tutored elementary- and middle-school students in math in small groups. Working in that setting taught me more about how to explain abstract concepts simply and creatively, and about how to use quizzes and evaluations to track student progress. During college, I helped my peers learn French both individually and in small groups; and most recently, I worked as an English language teacher in France, helping small groups of middle- and high-schoolers put their language learning into practice by organizing projects, conversations, and debates. In my free time, I like to read, write, draw, and learn about topics of interest such as Spanish and world literature.

Embarking on the journey of education can be an exciting and equally anxiety provoking endeavor. There are many exams to take, projects to complete, and deadlines to meet. This is in no way an easy journey but it is a worthwhile one. A journey that will see you grow into your true potential. Whenever you gain a new piece of understanding of the world around you, your perception of the world forever changes, you see things you could not see before. This is a magical process; my life is dedicated to facilitating this process for others. I began my own journey of higher education with the Biological Sciences. During my third year of college I constantly found myself in a position where I was helping my peers understand the material and I realized that I thoroughly enjoyed doing this. I began working as a tutor at my college and then worked as a teaching assistant in the Gross Anatomy and Cell Biology Labs. From there I went to medical school in Brooklyn, NY. During medical school I continued developing my passion for teaching. Running tutoring sessions for my peers and underclassmen, organizing a medical education and exposure program for high school students known as HPREP, creating educational materials in the form of video demonstrations, and eventually being hired as an adjunct professor of Gross Anatomy for the Occupational Therapy program at Downstate Medical Center. I am currently in the medical education track at my school and in training to become a full-time faculty member after graduating. My teaching style is focused on meeting the student where they are. I always begin assessing the current knowledge base and level of understanding so I can have a good idea of where to start. From there we will work together and I will adapt my teaching style according to how the student best assimilates knowledge. I take pride in being adaptable and flexible. Thank you for taking the time to read my personal statement. I would be excited to obtain the opportunity to work with you.

As a graduate of Johns Hopkins University with a Bachelor's in Materials Science and Engineering, I have over 5 years of tutoring experience across various subjects, including Algebra, Geometry, Biology and Chemistry. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel confident to explore and ask questions. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet each student's unique needs, encouraging them to connect concepts with real-world applications. My passion for teaching stems from witnessing students gain clarity and confidence in their abilities, which motivates me to continually refine my methods. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring new technologies and engaging with nature, which often inspires my lessons.

As a second-year medical student with a strong foundation in science and a passion for education, I specialize in making tough subjects easier to understand. I excel in math, biology, physics, and other challenging topics that often intimidate students and I genuinely enjoy helping others master them. My approach combines patience, clarity, and high-level understanding to break down complex ideas into manageable, confidence-boosting lessons. Whether it's reviewing homework or prepping for exams, I'm here to support and motivate students at any level below mine to reach their full academic potential. My interests include: Weightlifting and fitness training (especially strength and hypertrophy programs) Morning cardio and physical conditioning Studying medicine with a focus on anatomy, physiology, and clinical problem-solving Teaching and tutoring tough academic subjects like math, biology, and physics Watching anime as a way to relax and recharge (especially after a long day) Cooking (with a focus on high-protein, keto/carnivore meals)

I graduated from Yale University in 2021 with a B.A. in the History of Science, Medicine, and Public Health. Following my graduation, I attended Imperial College London on a Fulbright Scholarship to complete my Master of Public Health. Tutoring has been a joy for me over the years, as I've worked with students of all ages, from sixth-graders to Ivy League sophomores. I love learning and teaching a wide range of subjects, especially English, Writing, Biology, and Chemistry. Additionally, I enjoy helping students prepare their applications for higher education and standardized tests. I enjoy meeting new people and collaborating to help them reach their full potential. I believe that finding the right techniques for each person makes all the difference. In my spare time, you can find me baking, diving into a good book, or exploring new cuisines! Looking ahead, after taking my MCAT in September 2024, and I'm excited to start medical school in the fall of 2026!
