Ethan

ACT Math Tutor • +13 Subjects

I am a graduate of the both the University of Rochester (CHE B.S.) and the University of Michigan (NERS M.S.E). During my time at these institutions I was a teaching assistant for a variety of chemical engineering courses as well as an active tutor for Tau Beta Pi, which is an engineering honor society. My primary tutoring experience has mainly been with entry level college students in the fields of science, math, and engineering. I am a firm proponent of learning and understanding the mechanisms involved in solving problems as this results in a wider application of knowledge as compared to solving simply for an answer. In my spare time I enjoy science fiction literature and keep myself busy with lots of running and hiking outdoors.

Sara

Elementary School Tutor • +12 Subjects

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Inclusive Elementary and Special Education, as well as History, from Syracuse University. After graduation, I began teaching full time as a Special Education Teacher at the high school level, co-teaching a variety of subjects, while also attending classes on a full time basis to complete my Master of Science degree in Inclusive Special Education: Multiple/Severe Disabilities at Syracuse University. After completing my Masters degree, I switched gears and moved to teaching at the elementary level, working as a full time co-teacher in 2nd, 4th, and 6th grades. After obtaining tenure and teaching for a number of years, I left the k-12 classroom to begin work on a doctoral degree in Special Education and Disability Studies at Syracuse University, which I am currently completing coursework towards. As a graduate student in this program, I have taught a number of undergraduate and graduate courses situated within the School of Education. Having taught across a variety of grade levels, both k-12 and collegiate, I tutor in a variety of areas. In particular, I have strong writing skills myself and am able to provide students with a great deal of support in written expression. As a tutor who was a former Special Education Teacher, my forte is in differentiating instruction to meet the needs of each learner and bring a variety of engaging teaching strategies to each tutoring session. In my spare time, I love to surround myself with nature, spending time in the woods with my two giant dogs.

Richard

ACT Prep Tutor • +45 Subjects

I believe tutoring can be an essential component of anyone's education. Having a personal, one-on-one mentor to guide you through subject material is a factor that can prove to be a difference maker in achieving at the highest level. From my experience in undergrad at Cornell University to the many test-prep classes I have taken, I feel that I am knowledgeable in science subjects and mathematics and have developed strategies to best apply these techniques to standardized tests. I look forward to working with Varsity Tutors to help others the same way I have benefited from tutoring services.

Brandon

Analytical Chemistry Tutor • +11 Subjects

I am an organic chemist from Syracuse, NY. The sciences have always been a strong passion of mine, recently I have developed a strong desire to educate. I received a B.S. from State University of New York (SUNY) at Cortland and M.S. from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). During my degrees I acquired over four years of organic synthetic research. While pursuing my M.S. I was awarded a Teaching Assistantship. This involved instructing two laboratory classes each semester as well as providing tutoring services for students. The first year I was an instructor and tutor for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry for the second year. During this time I discovered my desire to educate. I am currently working as a substitute teacher for the Syracuse City School District while I await decisions from universities in hope to obtain a PhD.

Swathi

ACT Math Tutor • +8 Subjects

I graduated Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in May 2022. Next August, I will be pursuing an MD/MBA with SUNY Upstate Medical University and Whitman School of Business at Syracuse University. At RIT, I received a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences and minored in public policy. I have mainly tutored at informal settings, such as requirement as part of a club or tutoring my little sister. Subjects I feel the most comfortable tutoring in include math (up to pre-calculus), and science subjects (high school level). In addition, I am able to help with the math portion of standardized tests, such as the SAT and ACT. I truly love tutoring since I remember the times I was in need and in help with my biology and anatomy classes and having an understanding tutor who helped me throuhg my hurdles allowed me to succeed in the course.

Joseph

ACT 4-Week Prep Class Prep Tutor • +21 Subjects

I received a PhD in political science from the University of Missouri in St. Louis. I also received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Truman State University (Kirksville, Missouri). I am currently an Assistant Professor of political science at State University of New York (SUNY) in Cortland. I tutor students in a range of subjects, though I am most excited to work with students in the subjects of writing, English, social studies/civics, American history and government. I am also good at helping students develop research proposals and outlines. I am passionate about helping high school students master material that will help them be successful in high school while also preparing them for college settings. I also very much enjoy helping college students get the most out of their college education by supporting them in being successful in their courses. I aim to help students with their acute course needs as well as assist them in developing skills for studying and learning that they can use throughout their entire lives. Before getting my PhD, I worked for nonprofit organizations; this experience allows me to engage with students about government and politics in ways that are real and relevant. I also like to help students explore career paths that can utilize their interest in government and politics. In my spare time, I enjoy reading fiction, hiking in one of the many beautiful state parks in upstate New York, and volunteering with organizations that help animals.
