I graduated in May of 2015 from Tufts University with a BS in Economics and Biopsychology. At Tufts, I was an Economics tutor for the Academic Resource Center for three years. Additionally, I have worked as a volunteer English language teacher in Madrid, Spain, during my semester abroad in the Spring of 2014. I love traveling as well and am extremely excited to be returning to Madrid in September on a Fulbright grant to be an English Teaching Assistant at the high school level!My approach to tutoring has always been about understanding each student's individual style as a learner to create lessons best-tailored to his or her specific needs. I try to foster an environment where open communication is emphasized and the student feels comfortable and motivated. Outside of the classroom—even though I was born and raised in Manhattan—I love spending time in the outdoors. I am an avid rock climber, and enjoy hiking, camping, and connecting with nature.

I want to help. Especially those who appreciate help. Teaching at a residential treatment facility is an excellent example of how I worked towards meeting this goal.My teaching philosophy is basically the Socratic method. Among its many benefits, this method makes it easy to engage with students. I also like to stress understanding. I remember the 1973 movie, "The Paper Chase", and the memorable performance by John Houseman, as Professor Kingsfield. I always thought that portrayal, in terms of teaching style, was something I admired, and I used that memory as a guide, as I strived to develop my style. However, where he was strict, I am not. I believe in relaxing some restrictions to meet the needs of my students, so long as I maintain fairness. And, where he was stern and stoic, I am flexible and I teach with levity.

I did my undergraduate at University of Colorado Boulder in Architectural Engineering and Environmental Design. I am currently doing my Masters in Sustainable Engineering at Villanova University in Pennsylvania. I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Tanzania and love learning about new people and places!

I am currently attending Baruch College (CUNY). I am majoring in Actuarial Sciences at Baruch.Throughout my academic career, both in high school and college, I have always been passionate about math and tutoring. This past year I have also tutored younger students who were prepping for the SHSAT.From my experience I have noticed students who are struggling in math only need a certain push to keep them on track. I firmly believe with the right help, students can not only be able to solve problems and understand material but they can approach tests with confidence. Math isn't impossible and I'm here to show my students that with a serious mindset they can succeed in their tests and should have no reason to be afraid.In my spare time I enjoy watching soccer, playing soccer, and performing magic.

I am a high school math teacher, leading Algebra 1, Statistics, and College Algebra courses. I have a dual degree in math and subject-matter education with a minor in Statistics and Operations Research, as well as a concentration in Honors studies. I have had much previous experience in the tutoring field in my hometown and at my university, and I am a Level 1 Certified Tutor from the College Reading and Learning Association. My favorite thing about tutoring is being able to work with a student individually to enhance his or her knowledge of the subject matter, and that "AHA" moment is the best!

I love learning new stuff! Although this is a simplistic statement this idea is at the heart of why I chose to become an educator. Every time I have the privilege of leading instruction either virtually or on-ground, I learn something new. The opportunity to pass that feeling on to students is why I am excited to have the opportunity to work with Varsity Tutors. My experience teaching college and high school students from various age groups, backgrounds, and different skill levels has perfectly prepared me to be help students further their understanding in the area of English literature and composition.Since moving to Las Vegas from Michigan I have been teaching for Clark County School District and the College of Southern Nevada. I look forward to tutoring and helping all students fulfill their educational endeavors. Thanks

Hi students! I'm Nisha, and I am very excited to share my interest in the sciences with you, and look forward to helping you understand the material and feel more confident in your abilities. I will graduate as a Biology (B.S.) and Public Health (B.A.) major and will be attending medical school starting in the Fall of 2020. I have taken numerous science and public health coursework and have field and lab based research experiences that provide me with a valuable background to not only take on challenges and think analytically, but pass these angles of thinking to students.I have been tutoring through my undergraduate institution for the past 3.5 years, and have experience tutoring individual and group sessions. Learning and teaching go hand-in-hand, and I have learned how to navigate my tutoring style to best fit the student's learning style.I believe that learning a topic or concept is not about sole memorization; learning is synthesizing the information gained into a model that can be applied to solve more complex problems. Connections to practical and real-world settings have helped me synthesize material, and upper level science classes have helped me develop fine attention to detail. Public health coursework and experiences have allowed me to contextualize these learnings within community situations. I believe that I channel these strengths effectively as a tutor in order to allow me to form connections with what the students value most, and mold lessons that will provide a valuable platform to synthesize the material.Equally as important is understanding weaknesses and being able to target those during sessions. I realized this the most while studying for the MCAT (medical school admissions exam) and found that targeting my weaknesses was one of the most effective strategies to improve my way of thinking and understanding a topic. While it is exciting to practice strengths, I believe that first, recognizing and acknowledging one's weaker points, and then being able to act on those specifically is most helpful when learning. As a tutor, I help students recognize and acknowledge their weaknesses first, and work together to figure out how to most effectively practice these.Together with my students, I look forward to practicing scientific concepts and working through analytical challenges! As a continuing student myself, I will connect students with valuable and relevant resources. Science is like a team-based, collaborative sport, and working and talking through topics with someone else is one of the best ways to learn!

Hello!My name is Tatyana, a 2020 Clark University graduate with a Bachelor's in Sociology and experience teaching artmaking and dance to youth.I am personally skilled in assisting students with confidence building and self-awareness, strengthening artistic skills, essay organization, editing and revision, annotating, and other aspects of the subjects of reading and writing! As an educator and mentor, I have helped youth aged 5-16 and young adults with social-emotional learning, academics, artistry, choreography, and executive functioning skills.I believe that everyone can learn if they lead their lives with an open mind! This makes learning more fun and comfortable for all involved!With strong guidance and empathetic mentorship, I will help those seeking assistance learn the skills needed to be independent, studious, confident, kind, and self-motivated!

I recently graduated with a BA in neuroscience from Carthage College. During college, I worked as a lab assistant helping students design, execute, and analyze research projects. Since graduation I have been working towards becoming a medical student. I enjoy tutoring to bring clarity to seemingly complex concepts. Biology is my favorite subject to tutor because most problems boil down to a few core principles with a vast breadth of applications.
