Hi there - I'm Emily! I am a history, literature, and writing tutor. After graduating in from McGill University with a BA in History and Political Science, I was hired as an editor for SparkNotes. At SparkNotes I distill works of literature for high school and college students every day. I am comfortable with and enjoy working with students from middle school through college.Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading, running, dressmaking, and visiting New York City's historic landmarks.I look forward to tutoring you!

My name is Mark. I have been married to my high school love for seventeen years and we have three amazing boys, Jaxson (16 years old, Madden 12 years old and Jayce 8 years old).I have a passion for instilling the ideals of confidence in a learner. I have over 15 years of educational experience, with a very diverse background. Starting my educational career in New York (working the private and public education sectors in both general and special education) and moving to Georgia teaching high and middle school math and social studies, and preparing for administrative roles and responsibilities has made me more equipped to serve students for success.My teaching methods are geared towards twenty-first century learning methods (webquests, on-line/virtual learning, blogging, podcasts, etc) and learning strategies (reading and vocabulary). I connect to the student and build positive relationships. I relate the material to daily life. Most importantly, I try my best for students to have fun and make learning enjoyable and a positive experience.

As a 4th year undergraduate student at Stony Brook University, I understand how difficult school can be. I have gone through my share of trail and error in how to study. I also understand that not every method of studying works for everyone and some subjects require different methods of studying. But in all cases, perseverance is necessary to succeed. I have been a teacher's assistant for general and organic chemistry. I have also tutored for molecular biology and basic statistics. Throughout my time, I have learned that students are smarter than they believe. Most of the time, students just need clarification, patience, and encouragement.A little about myself: I am a pre-med student with a major in Health Science and a concentration in Public Health. My end goal is to one day work for the World Health Organization, traveling the world and helping to prevent epidemics such as Ebola and malaria. But in the mean time, I focus much of my time tutoring, so I can help others achieve the academic success that I have had.

I am currently finishing my dual major in Economics and Political Science at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I discovered my love for tutoring when I began tutoring Economics for the Comprehensive Studies Program (CSP) at the University. Economics is still my favorite subject to tutor because I get to see students' eyes light up as they realize how the subject can be used to explain society around them. I now also tutor a variety of high school level classes and find equal joy helping students along the same academic journey I set off on years ago.My teaching philosophy is that students learn best when the tutor acts as a guide rather than an additional teacher by allowing the student to consider the idea on their own, and stepping in when the student becomes stumped. When consulting a tutor, a student should consider the tutor as a means of making their study time more effective.

My primary goal is to help people in need and address social problems. I am passionate about making a difference and improving the well-being of other people. I would like to help students with their educational growth and development. I appreciate this opportunity to serve and make an impact through meaningful work.

I share expertise across human and plant biology, genetics, epidemiology and related (once upon a time, a former researcher at Duke and Cornell), and English-language essay writing, literary and editorial skills gained from a longterm media and publishing career print and digital under the top editors in the world (Tina Brown, BBC, Hearst+ in New York and London), pre and post an Oxford MBA. Left brain and right brain, I teach through story, allegory, analogy and metaphor, which is how most people engage and learn.Comfortable and experienced working across age-groups: Elementary, Middle School, HS, AP, College, GED, standardised tests (SAT, GRE and GMAT+) and School and College Applications.Individualised instruction with a personalised strategy, structure, repetition, humor and patience, Daniel-sans;).

I graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia with a bachelor's degree in Communications, but have shown an aptitude for math and science throughout my academic career.There are so many resources available online that one could get lost in the breadth of information. I'm here to hone in on what makes you want to learn so that we can work together to help accomplish your goals.

I was introduced to VT by a friend. I love interacting with students and share my knowledge with them, watch them learn subjects and succeed. I enjoy the results that we get out of our shared effort.

I am a second year student majoring in biochemistry at Case Western Reserve University. Outside of Varsity Tutoring, I tutor high school students every week in Math, English, and standardized tests. Music has always been a passion in my life, and it excites me to help students to fall in love in music. One of my favorite experiences in tutoring was when I taught a dozen children how to play basic notes on the recorder in Papua New Guinea (tropical island in South East Asia).Math is another favorite subject to tutor because I believe every student can become proficient in math when they learn that math is just using blocks of knowledge to overcome problems. As such, I am never discouraged if students are struggling in math; instead, I focus on their strengths and encourage them to use what they know to steadily tackle each question with confidence. In high school, when I researched and presented on the applications of calculus in medicine, I remember how rewarding it was to finally understand how to derive formulas for calculating blood flow in arteries.Finally in my spare time, I like to read the New York times, listen to a cappella music, or exercise in the gym.

I am a sophomore at the University of Texas at Dallas. I am majoring in Neuroscience with a minor in Art, in the hopes of going to medical school one day. I have had extensive experience tutoring students, ever since I was a high school student myself, in art, PSAT, math, and science. I am most passionate about teaching math and science, as the critical thinking skills developed from these subjects can be applied to multiple aspects of our lives. I always found myself being able to connect with students more via these subjects, as their puzzle-like nature seemed to appeal to students the most, especially once we discovered the teaching style that suited them. I witnessed that a tailored and unique teaching style shows remarkable improvements, both in the subject matter, as well as the students' general reception of academia. I strongly believe in the importance of education and its role as a critical tool, which enables individuals to improve the quality of their lives and develop lasting connections. In my free time, I like spending time with my family, doing art, running, and reading.
