I am more passionate about the latter, and within the humanities I am most passionate about philosophy and English. The most important thing I've learned from those two fields (and the thing I'd most want to pass on to students) is how to find the right words for thoughts - this is important, not ju...

Evan

AP Biology Tutor • +17 Subjects

Hi! My name is Evan, I graduated from Allegheny College in May 2015 with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Psychology, and after graduation I moved to Pittsburgh to begin my career. Besides tutoring for Varsity Tutors, I work as a Laboratory Technician 2 for PPG in Springdale, PA. My laboratory uses fundamental aspects of chemistry to run testing on electrocoat paints in order to determine their respective viabilities as manufacturing products. I love what I do! I currently work 40 hours a week in my Lab Technician position, but would be available after 6 pm as well as weekends (when scheduled in advance).I have worked as a Biology tutor for both the AP Biology Test as well as the SAT Subject Test for Biology for the last two summers through Maine Prep, one of Maine's premier test-preparation companies. At Maine Prep I learned about what it takes to be a successful tutor, and I also learned about the satisfaction that one can gain from helping students understand previously unknown concepts. Now that I'm in the Pittsburgh area I would love to continue expanding on my tutoring experience- I enjoy working with students and someday I would like to be a Professor in Biology!

Syed

8th Grade Science Tutor • +12 Subjects

I graduated with a masters in Electrical Engineering from Lamar University, Texas. I have been actively looking for a teaching position where I can excel using my skills and expertise. Teaching has always been one of my passions, which led me to start off as an undergraduate teaching assistant back in 2010 at North South University. I taught Electrical Circuits and Engineering Mathematics to undergrad students and helped faculty members in their course related works. Furthermore, my teaching has continued throughout my masters at Lamar University. In particular, I worked as a Teaching Assistant for The College Readiness Math Department where I taught a variety of math courses from basic algebra to calculus to freshmen college students. These experiences have only enriched my learning acumen and have integrated me well into the life of a teacher.

Eddie

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +34 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the nation's first public university. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies, with minors in History and Creative Writing. Throughout my academic career, many of my teachers and professors noted my propensity to raise the discourse of classroom discussion and ask important questions. Thus far, I have worked with students of ages ranging from eight to fifteen as a tutor, mentor, and camp counselor. I tutor students of a broad range of academic levels in diverse subjects areas, including but not limited to: all mathematics up to and including high school geometry; all elementary, middle, and high school social sciences and history, including AP European History, AP US History, and AP US Government and Politics; reading comprehension and writing of all levels, as well as college admissions essay editing; test preparation for all three sections of the SAT; study skills and organization; public speaking; and, of course, Religious Studies (my college major). I have a particular passion for helping middle school and high school students improve their writing and reading comprehension skills; opening students' eyes to the power and importance of the written word, I believe, is a pursuit with a lifetime of rewards. In my spare time, I enjoy reading fiction and discussing current events and film.

Brian

College English Tutor • +18 Subjects

I became a tutor because I love to teach. I first started tutoring as a student at Emory University, where I worked with fellow students who were struggling with writing in the Emory Student Writing Center. I realized that I had a knack for helping students understand grammar and composition and soon developed a reputation for my ability to help my peers understand why they were struggling and how they could improve. After graduation, I continued to work at Emory as an Arts at Emory associate, a highly competitive two-year fellowship that gave me the chance to co-teach a writing-intensive course in Theater History. I then joined the Peace Corps and traveled to Chad, where I worked as a full-time teacher for students in the equivalents of 8th-12th grade. Upon returning to the United States, I became a full-time tutor with a major tutoring company in Atlanta, where I tutored middle and high school students in all subjects as well as standardized test preparation.I believe that students enjoy learning from teachers who enjoy learning themselves. As an enthusiastic learner and engaged listener, I am able to connect empathetically with my students while motivating them to achieve their very best. While not all schoolwork is fun and games, I believe that my ability to help students understand the bigger picture and connect the subjects they are learning with their goals and dreams helps them to see the value of their accomplishments. I have benefitted from many great teachers over my life, and it is my sincere wish to help other students find the same joy in learning that those teachers instilled in me.

Accounting Tutor • +10 Subjects

Tutoring is a passion of mine which is why I have tutored the last two years in college accounting courses. I love seeing students grow academically and gain confidence from understanding something they had previously struggled with. I believe in helping guide students to reach the answers on their own to promote independent success in the future. Ive tutored a range of students with different learning styles and each of them has left feeling successful and confident to tackle their next courses. I want to be a role model for my students to motivate them and show them that anything is possible with hard work.

Pearl

Algebra Tutor • +15 Subjects

I am a current student at Wake Technical Community college and prospective Neuroscience candidate. My love and joy for tutoring children stems from early exposure to childhood learning and development through my mothers daycare. I held my first position as a teacher's assistant here. While I am able to tutor a broad range of subjects, my particular interests are in math and science. As a student researcher, I understand the need for support in these subject areas where many children may struggle. In my experience, meeting the student where they are and keeping them engaged through fun iterations of the required learning material is a sure way to promote success in any subject. I am a huge advocate for pursuing higher education, not only for its obvious benefits such as improved quality of life, but I also find that high achievers can serve as an inspiration and driving force for future generations. In my spare time, I enjoy reading health/scientific articles, crossfit exercises, and trying out new recipes.
