...have a lot of life experience that I bring with me to tutoring. My exposure to the SAT began when I got the highest SAT score in my school district when I was a junior (without tutoring, even!). I started tutoring the Verbal side of the SAT in Los Angeles in 1999. Then I branched out into the SAT Math and then into academic tutoring in many subject areas. I was tutoring celebrity kids in...

My tutoring approach consists of utilizing a bottom up approach to engage students by building complex concepts beginning from a fundamental level. I like...

...math classes. Anything from elementary school through undergrad. High school Geometry? Yep! Real Analysis? Absolutely! Python? Not quite math, you tricky person, but sign right up. I tutor a bit of physics and computer programming as well. Test prep, too. But who am I? I am a math music philosophy nerd. I love Gauss almost as much as I love Bach and I love Bach almost as much as I like Hegel. So chat to...

And with essay editing, I like to have a conversation about the ideas behind the essay and workshop them into writing until they come across in a way that the student is proud of.

...to help them with the material they've just covered but may not understand.) I can do the latter if necessary; however, I am less certain about my ability to do so in a way that is as consistently useful. I prefer to think of tutoring in terms of helping a peer rather than the more hierarchical framing of teacher and student. Although the latter is technically also accurate, I find it less useful. I am...

I believe teaching is the best way to learn. With a Master's degree in Computer Engineering from Texas A&M University and 10 years of professional experience, I still feel there is much to learn in programming. I enjoy teaching and I feel accomplished if in conveying the knowledge effectively.

I would like to use my engineering background to help empower students. In addition, I have been teaching for a year now. This has included different cultures and age groups which will enrich the student's learning experience. I have taught reading, grammar, science and math to 5 years old to 18 years old plus professionals over the age of 20. I am certified as a TEFL instructor.

Outside of school, I love to read and write (I worked for two years at Powell's, so if...

...too common for folks to struggle with math and even stress out about it. I hope to help more students to realize that math isn't scary. The most important thing is that we take the pressure off. The primary goal of the tutor should be to make the subject approachable and comprehensible. Once we unlock your intuitive quantitative skills you will find things like math and physics are much simpler than you thought!

...I taught art, technology, reading and writing. Similarly, as a professor my efforts and doctorate focused on the learner in online environments much like Varsity Tutors. Recently, I returned from a year of teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) in Thailand to both adults and children; it was an incredible experience learning new teaching techniques and earning my TEFL. I continue to teach because I am passionate about helping others meet their learning goals."...
