Everybody learns, and everybody learns differently. The importance of pedagogy, the practice of teaching, cannot be overstated. It is not enough to share knowledge; knowledge must be communicated. This is the philosophy by which I have tutored and by which I currently tutor. With 4th grade students and with college-age students, with students in America and with students in Japan, I have helped new ideas and information take root and blossom to the satisfaction of student and tutor alike. I love those moments of recognition as someone internalizes knowledge, when an unfamiliar idea becomes familiar, and the creative ability such moments foster. My aim as a tutor is to understand how my students learn, so that they can do so most efficiently.

I am currently working in a research lab at UTHealth and am excited to get back into tutoring. I want to help students succeed academically and am up for the challenge. Plus, it's a gratifying experience that will refine my knowledge on the subject. Hobbies: sports, movies, outdoors, reading, writing, cooking, books, music, baking, art

As an enthusiastic educator with a Bachelor's in Science from McMaster University, majoring in Biology, I am deeply passionate about teaching both mathematics and biology, particularly anatomy and physiology. Currently enrolled in the Doctor of Optometry program at the University of Waterloo, with aspirations to become an optometrist, I bring a unique perspective to my teaching, intertwining my academic pursuits with my commitment to nurturing young minds. I am dedicated to fostering an engaging classroom environment where students are inspired to explore the intricacies of numbers and the wonders of life sciences. Through interactive learning experiences, I aim to instill a lifelong love for learning and empower students to excel academically and beyond.

As a passionate tutor in my fourth year of medical school, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment. With over 3 years of experience, I specialize in elementary through high school subjects, including math, reading, writing, and Spanish, as well as standardized test prep, including ACT/SAT and MCAT, and college application essay-writing. My teaching philosophy centers on building strong connections with my students, using interactive methods that cater to their individual learning styles. I find joy in guiding students towards academic success and helping them develop a love for learning. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring all the different foods, music, and cultures that Chicago has to offer! I believe that every student has the potential to excel, and I strive to empower them on their educational journey.

I have a Bachelor's in Biomedical Physiology from Simon Fraser University and currently pursuing my Doctorate in Medicine at the University of British Columbia. I have over 10 years of tutoring experience. I specialize in Anatomy and Physiology, High School Chemistry and Physics, and various levels of Mathematics, including Pre-Calculus and Trigonometry. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel motivated to ask questions and delve deeply into the subject matter. I tailor my approach to address each student's unique learning style, fostering confidence and academic achievement. My passion for teaching is further enriched by my love for cycling, running, hiking and exploring the natural world, which allows me to incorporate real-world examples into my lessons, making complex concepts more relatable and understandable.

I am here to help you understand the concepts brought before you in class and to improve your grasp on the knowledge that must be mastered in the courses that you are in. I will do anything and everything in my power to help the student succeed in his/her course, and I guarantee success in those courses with my assistance. I personalize all lesson plans according to each student, and will work with them to find the best method of teaching to help them obtain a better grasp on the topics presented. I look forward to working with you students to help you succeed!

Matthew brings a research-based, personalized approach to tutoring, focusing on critical thinking and brain games. He has developed over 800 SAT questions and strategies to improve students' overall IQ. Matthew has worked with over 500 students on the SAT and ACT through one-on-one tutoring. His students regularly see SAT score improvements of 200+ points. He has also helped numerous students push ACT scores from the low 30s into the 3335 range. He has also taught college-level courses including Chemistry, Biology and Neuroscience. He has tutored many student-athletes at USC, several of whom have gone on to play professionally. He has worked extensively with English language learners and international students, tailoring his strategies to a wide variety of learning styles and academic backgrounds. His mission is to help students unlock life-changing opportunities through high test scoresjust as scholarships transformed his own academic journey.

Hi! My name is Sanjana. I graduated from Michigan State University in 2023 with a degree in Human Biology. I have been tutoring students in my neighborhood and through the Varsity Tutors platform for the past 4 years, covering a range of subjects from elementary to high school, with a focus on math. I also have experience tutoring for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, and I specialize in STEM subjects such as chemistry and biology. I love teaching and strive to be creative in my methods to ensure that each student understands the concepts in the best way possible. One approach I often use is incorporating real-world examples, which helps students see how the material applies to everyday life. When it comes to elementary reading and writing, I aim to make the content engaging and tailored to each student's interests, helping them become more motivated to read and write.

I am currently attending University of Wisconsin Madison, and expect to have a B.S. in neurobiology in 2024. I am most passionate about science, math, and literature. I believe education is always opportunity to grow in life, and seeking help to better understand educational concepts is a great way to boost confidence and strengthen the understanding of topics. I know different people have different learning methods, and I would tutor according to whichever method fits best for the student. There is nothing better than watching someone have an "ah ha!" moment! I look forward to working with new students.

I have completed 4 years of medical school with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I have experience with bacterial research, a thesis in philosophy of science, and a strong background in standardized testing. I have 12 years of experience with editing, curriculum design, and publishing. I look to help others succeed, with the belief every student can achieve when given the proper support.
