I am a graduate of Cornell University and am currently pursuing my MBA at Columbia Business School. I received my Bachelors of Science in Applied Economics with a focus on finance. Between undergraduate graduation and Business School, I worked as a trader at Goldman Sachs. I am passionate about helping students to improve their standardized test scores across the GMAT, SAT and ACT, with a focus on the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. I am also knowledgeable across a variety of corporate finance topics such as M&A, financial accounting and capital markets. I spent several years working with elementary and middle-school aged children as a chess tutor when I was in high school. Hobbies: books, music, art, reading, writing

I am currently a PhD candidate completing my doctorate at Yale University in the Medieval Studies department and has previously obtained masters degrees in English Literature and Medieval Studies from Yale, The University of Georgia, and the University of Glasgow. An Atlanta native, I returned from New Haven to live and work in Georgia while I finish the final stages of his dissertation. Over the course of my studies, I have taught undergraduate literature and history as an instructor at Yale, the University of Georgia, Oxford University, the University of Glasgow, the University of Connecticut, and Wesleyan College (Macon, Georgia).

I am currently pursuing my MBA from MIT Sloan's School of Management. I attended undergrad at at Washington University in St. Louis and graduated Magna Cum Laude with my M.S. in Mechanical Engineering. After college, I moved to Houston, Texas to work for ExxonMobil at a refinery before returning to school for my MBA. Hobbies: reading, cooking, swimming, writing, books, music, yoga, art, travel

I'm an incoming full-time MBA student at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. Growing up, my mother was a teacher, and instilled in me a love for learning. In high school, I tutored my younger brother across many subjects. Since, I've volunteered as an SAT Tutor with New York Cares for an underfunded public school in my old neighborhood in Manhattan.

A dedicated educator with dual master's degrees in Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering from Hamburg University of Technology and Computational Chemistry from Concordia University. My advanced training has cultivated deep expertise in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics enabling me to address complex scientific and analytical challenges with precision. As a Teaching Assistant at Concordia University, I delivered engaging tutorials, conducted laboratory demonstrations, graded reports, and held office hours for undergraduate courses in Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Thermodynamics. By leveraging innovative platforms like MyDalite to foster conceptual learning, I significantly enhanced students' understanding of core principles. My commitment to excellence in teaching earned me the Teaching Assistant of the Year Award for 2020-2021. With a passion for empowering students, I specialize in preparing learners for standardized tests, including SAT (Reading and Math), ACT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, and AMC.

I am a wordsmith focusing on building vocabulary, grammar, and thought structure for different writing styles; including research papers, essays, data analysis, storytelling and corporate communications. I love working with students of all ages and stages of their learning journey and I specialize in tackling performance anxiety during "crunch-time." While obtaining my graduate degree, I enjoyed working as a TA, and sharing ideas and perspectives with bright undergrads. My teaching style is patient and personalized. I strive to find what sparks interest in the student and relate those ideas to the subject matter.

I would consider myself an expert at strategically navigating the high school world. On Wednesdays, you'll find me in pink. I don't like buses.

I hold a Masters of Arts in Economics from Syracuse University and both a Bachelors of Science in Economics and a Minor in Mathematics from Penn State University. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about microeconomics, macroeconomics, calculus, mathematics, and game theory. My work as a Graduate Teaching Assistant and Lecturer provided crucial opportunities to hone my ability to communicate complex economic and mathematics topics to audiences with a range of experience. I am a firm believer that practice makes perfect and I am eager to help all of my students achieve academic success through the learning style that works best for them.

Hello, my name is Vaibhav Sharma and I am a recent graduate of the University of Pittsburgh. I majored in neuroscience and chemistry and while I was in college I spent my time volunteering at local hospitals and researching novel neuroscience techniques. I will attend medical school at Geisinger Commonwealth Medical College this fall. Having taken all of the science classes since high school, I know how daunting and hard science material might seem but if taken at a very fundamental level, it is much more logical and simpler than how many high school teachers or college professors make it seem. Thats how I approach tutoring my clients. I try to use practical examples on how the science principles come into play in the real world.
