Shannon

ACT Prep Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am an undergraduate at Rice University, and my favorite subjects to tutor are math and science. I also enjoy doing test prep, and my experience comes from helping fellow students in high school. One of the most important aspects of tutoring is fitting the teaching style to each student. One method that works great for one student may not work well for another. Tutoring is all about coming up with different ways for my students to understand the material. If my student is not interested in the subject we are learning, I will try to find a way to tie in their interests and passions into the subject to better engage them. I want to be there for my students, not only as a tutor, but also as a friend. In addition to my interests in math and science (and learning in general), I enjoy swimming, biking, reading, and cooking. I also believe that fostering curiosity and determination are the keys to success.

Jiban

Abstract Algebra Tutor • +24 Subjects

Hello, my name is Jiban Limbu; you can call me as Jiu (in short). As far as my teaching experience is concerned, I worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for two and half years while I was a Graduate student at the University of Oklahoma. In OU, I had worked as a tutor in the Math Center where I tutored courses like Differential Equation, Calculus, Linear Algebra to name a few mostly to the undergraduates and as a discussion leader, particularly for Calculus which mostly used to be like homework help class. Besides, I have worked as a lecturer of mathematics in Kathmandu Engineering College, Kathmandu, Nepal for more than 7 years to the undergraduates. Moreover, I have taught mathematics to the lower and secondary schools back in my country. As you can see, I have been teaching/tutoring mathematics to different levels for more than 10 years. Here, I am a certify tutor of mathematics at Varsity Tutors platform, and I am eligible to teach/tutor here the courses such as Algebra1, Algebra2, Geometry, Pre-calculus, Pre-algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus-1, 2 and 3, College Algebra, Multivariable Calculus, and Middle School Math.Teaching/tutoring mathematics to the students is my passion. With this passion in teaching/tutoring mathematics, I firmly believe that I can create a kind of milieu which can instill and arouse enthusiasm for learning math in the students in my class by using different problem-solving skills and creating constructive learning environments which students can cope with. I intend to use varieties of techniques and strategies depending on the students' level and age for my lesson to be more engaging, effective and fun so much so that students can learn or gain in an optimum way which I am hoping to show you during my class when you show up in my class in the upcoming days. I would like to start with a lesson by recalling and formulating the concepts that are necessary for the lesson and proceed according to the students' level of understanding.Responding any of your queries through text messages or phone calls promptly is what I like to do without any hesitation. So, please feel free to reach out to me through any means of communication that is convenient to you, either to schedule a session or ask any questions that you would like to do.

Tristan

College English Tutor • +9 Subjects

I believe that to learn something the student has to be an active participant. If students take ownership of their own learning, then the process of learning becomes meaningful and lasting. The educator is merely a facilitator for learning. Throughout my life I have been profoundly influenced by teachers who guided me through my own journey in education. They taught me that a good teacher opens the door, though it is you who must walk through it. With their encouragement, patience, and caring I overcame many hurdles to achieve things in education that I had always believed were beyond my grasp. Those achievements have led to a more fulfilling life. As an educator, I believe it is my duty to share with others what was given to me.

Frequently Asked Questions

A tutor provides personalized feedback on your writing that goes beyond what you might get in a classroom setting. They can work with you on the specific areas where you struggle—whether that's developing a strong thesis, organizing your ideas, strengthening your argumentation, or refining your writing voice. Through one-on-one instruction, tutors help you understand the "why" behind writing conventions, not just the rules, so you can apply these skills to future assignments.

Grammar is the foundation—correct punctuation, sentence structure, and word usage make your writing clear and professional. Style, on the other hand, is about how you express your ideas: your word choice, sentence variety, tone, and voice. A strong essay needs both. Tutors help you master grammar mechanics while also developing your unique writing voice, so your essays are not just correct but engaging and persuasive.

Writer's block often happens when you're trying to write the perfect essay on the first try. Tutors teach strategies like freewriting, outlining before drafting, or breaking the essay into smaller chunks so you're not facing a blank page all at once. They can also help you move from confusion about your topic to a clear thesis statement, which gives you a roadmap for the rest of your writing. Many students find that talking through their ideas with a tutor helps clarify their thinking before they even sit down to write.

Organization is where many essays fall apart. A tutor helps you build a logical structure by identifying your main argument, organizing supporting points, and ensuring each paragraph connects back to your thesis. They teach you how to create outlines that serve as blueprints, how to write topic sentences that guide your reader, and how to use transitions that show the relationship between ideas. With practice and feedback, you'll develop the ability to organize complex arguments clearly on your own.

Yes. Citation formatting can feel overwhelming, but tutors break it down into manageable pieces. Whether you need help with MLA, APA, or Chicago style, a tutor can show you how to cite sources correctly and help you understand the purpose behind proper attribution. They also help you integrate quotes and paraphrased material smoothly into your essay so citations feel natural rather than awkward—and your arguments stay strong.

Literary analysis requires you to move beyond just understanding what happened in a text to understanding how and why the author created meaning. Tutors help you develop close reading skills—identifying literary devices, understanding themes, and analyzing character motivation. They then guide you in translating these observations into a coherent argument with specific textual evidence. This turns your analysis into a compelling essay that shows deeper engagement with the material.

Revision is where good essays become great ones. Rather than trying to fix everything at once, tutors teach you to revise in layers: first looking at big-picture issues like thesis clarity and argument strength, then moving to paragraph organization and transitions, and finally polishing grammar and style. They also help you develop self-editing skills so you can evaluate your own work critically. With this strategic approach, you'll learn to revise efficiently and see real improvement in your writing.
