Certified Tutors From Carnegie Mellon University

...I love to teach and have a great passion for sharing my knowledge with others! I am most passionate about math and hard sciences, such as biology, chemistry, and physics and have most experience tutoring middle school, high school, and college students. My mission is to develop students' problem-solving skills so that they can get...

As a recent Literary and Cultural Studies program graduate from Carnegie Mellon University, I look forward to sharing my knowledge of the English language with those who feel like their rhetoric skills could be strengthened!

...my students succeed and perform well in and outside of the class room. Throughout my high school/ college career, I have taken math classes ranging in difficulty from Algebra 1 to Differential Equations. All students that I take on will be taught concepts thoroughly and in an exciting way! While math can sometimes seem boring,...

...high school student. In high school, I was awarded the Rensselaer Medal which is a $60,000 scholarship from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for being distinguished in mathematics and science. Most recently, I was a tutor at Mathnasium where I tutored middle school/elementary school/high school students in math and private tutored high school students in SAT 2...

...expertise. I am committed to finding effective strategies for facilitating understanding for each student, rather than just process. Special notes for Competition Math: I placed first in the Twin Cities (St. Paul / Minneapolis, MN) HS league twice, with one time being a tie. I qualified for the AIME twice exam via high AHSME scores....

Hi! My name is Ryan; I am a recently graduated Mechanical Engineering major from Carnegie Mellon University. I tutored for three years before starting with Varsity, and I can't wait to help you!

...outset, especially under the pressure of a test, more time can be given to reviewing grammar and tone - vital aspects of essay writing that can't be forgotten. Because I love to write and teach and am energetic, I am confident in my ability to make the writing process fun. I have been a tenured...

...Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, all Engineering disciplines, and MBA courses. I am continuously adding both courses in an individual field as well as fields themselves to tutor. I tutor from 6th grade to graduate school as well as students with mental disabilities. I help students from inner city schools to the top boarding...

...my tenure at CMU, I've tutored college students in Calculus and Statistics for four years. My teaching philosophy as very flexible - I always try to adjust to the student's learning style. I like to keep sessions casual and relaxed, but also productive. In my free time, I'm often in the gym - weightlifting and...

...my teaching approach to match your individual learning style. I don't just help you complete assignments - I guide you through the problem-solving process so you develop the critical thinking skills that make great programmers. Using real-world examples from my industry experience, I show how abstract programming principles apply to actual software development, helping you...

...database fundamentals at non-degree technical schools such as Connecticut Business Institute and Branford Hall. I have always enjoyed helping students and tutored graduate courses while in graduate school. Math and its applications (e.g., finance, economics and statistics) comprise my favorite subjects. I believe that positive reinforcement and goal setting are critical to student success. Building...

...and CS and I want to help others dive into these topics. Math and CS did not come naturally to me and so I know what it's like to struggle through these subjects and what insights help in deeply understanding them. Depending on how curious a student is I'll help peel back the layers to...

...as well. I tutor mathematics ranging from elementary-school math to calculus, physics, and chemistry. My favorite subject to tutor is algebra because I have found that students are most satisfied with their progress in this subject. I am a very hands-on tutor, as I like the student to try as many problems as possible. However,...

...and working with others, which is why I am drawn to the field of tutoring. A lot of my tutoring experience comes from the Spanish, Math, and Science Honor Societies, where I worked with students in subjects ranging from Calculus and Statistics to Biology and English. Several students I have worked with have told me...

...understand a concept is more important than being able to do a concept. I am a graduate from the University of Rochester where I majored in Economics. I had an emphasis on social choice theory and game theory as well as econometric analysis. Here, I understood the importance of conceptual thinking- where understanding the numbers...

...excited to help students in chemistry or biology, or with general science, to both strengthen their performance and to encourage them to develop a curiosity for applying science to their own life. I have been a volunteer tutor and teaching assistant for elementary math and reading, as well as elementary, middle, and high school science....

...and Public Policy. I love helping others break down concepts that seem impossible at first. As a past teaching assistant, I have had the chance to work with students and provide guidance and mentorship to help them complete the final class in their programs. I tutor math at all levels as well as engineering and...

...Mellon University. I received my B.S. in Biological Sciences with a minor in Biomedical Engineering. Personally, I like tutoring STEM subjects such as math, biology, and chemistry the most. I love seeing my students gain confidence in their subject areas and grow over time. Outside of academia, I enjoy cooking, exercising, reading, and spending time...

...work in scientific computing. I want to utilize my spare time during this difficult period to pass on my experience to students looking to improve themselves, whether it be training them to become experts in the topics they're struggling with or helping them transition their understanding into exam results. I mainly tutor math (algebra, geometry,...

...assistant while doing my masters and taught engineering, physics, and math courses to the undergraduate students. In addition to teaching, I was involved in setting up exams and grading them. Later on, I continued teaching high school students, college students, and trained colleagues and customers in companies where I worked. I also pursued my MBA...
