I graduated magna cum laude from Cornell University with a BS in engineering physics, and a math minor. I have been tutoring for more than 6 years. For 2.5 years, I taught math to Cornell Engineering undergraduates, and I looked forward to it every week! On Varsity Tutors, I tutor up to college level mathematics and physics, test prep (including AP courses, and SAT reading/writing). Explaining difficult math and science concepts in plain English is my forte. I love teaching and will be glad to help anyone become an independent learner.

I hope to give instructive, informative tutoring sessions to students on various academic subjects in high school and middle school. I aim to be as knowledgeable and helpful as possible in helping students achieve what they need to in the academic arena. Through clear, informative, engaging and fun lessons I believe students can improve vastly in their schoolwork and academic achievement. Open to working with students of all abilities, whether they are self-motivated or laissez-faire, fun-loving or studious.

I am a graduate student at the University of South Carolina pursuing a PhD in physics. After graduating from UofSC with a Bachelors of Science in physics, math, and psychology, I felt drawn to continue my education on account of a strong passion for learning and an opportunity to assist in that education process for other students as a teaching assistant. Throughout college, I had the pleasure to tutor many students in the areas of physics and mathematics at the college level. In this process, not only was I able to hone my skills in teaching but also, I was able to learn how effective it is to meet a student where they are at and give them the tools to learn a topic they may have trouble with. My philosophy in tutoring is that each student is different and that lessons should be structured in a way that not only supports that but encourages it. I regularly tutor in calculus and introductory college physics, but I have found that my students and I tend to enjoy these topics under more flexible schedules, where we can dip into other subjects that may be of interest to the student. I am a firm believer that learning is something we do for however long we live, and loving the process only improves your quality of life. It is that belief that causes me to love to see my students grow in their knowledge and their excitement for the wonderful world around them!

I graduated from UW-Madison in 2016 with a Bachelor of Science in microbiology and genetics. Currently, I am preparing for veterinary school where I hope to study wildlife pathology. I am also working in a laboratory and have plenty of hands-on experience in the biological sciences that I can use to make the living world around us more understandable and exciting to others. Additionally, I have helped teach a microbiology lab course at UW-Madison. Having the opportunity to teach others about the things I have a passion for fills me with so much excitement. I offer tutoring both in person and online in math, the biological sciences, and SAT/ACT test prep. I can also assist students who need help learning to write scientific papers and lab reports for class.

I am a graduate of Oberlin College, where I attained two Bachelor's degrees in English and Ancient Latin Language and Literature. I am a licensed teacher with a diversity of experience working with young people. For the past 10 years, I have tutored students of all ages and in a variety of subjects, with a strong focus on K-12 mathematics. I am pursuing a Master's degree in Elementary Education and a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification. I am extremely passionate about teaching and work daily to improve my craft. Students, parents, supervisors, and colleagues have described me as efficient, extremely patient, creative, and caring.I am certified to tutor in a variety of subjects and consider the following areas to be my specialties:*Standardized tests, such as the ISEE, SSAT, and AP examinations*Students who demonstrate challenging behaviors*Long-term tutoring in math and reading--I love to guide a student who initially struggled to meet and exceed expectations!Outside of my direct work with students, I have coordinated a math tutoring program that placed K-12 math tutors into local public schools. I have also served as a Crisis Services Supervisor at the National Runaway Safeline (NRS). At NRS, I was able to support volunteers in providing trauma-informed services to runaway, homeless, and at-risk youth.I look forward to meeting you and your child!

I graduated from Cornell where I majored in Latin before beginning my pre-medical post-baccalaureate studies at Columbia. I greatly enjoy helping students of all ages to understand concepts, just as I have at Columbia where I would frequently guide my fellow peers through physics problems. I want to help students feel the "Ah ha!" moment of grasping a concept and breaking complex problems down to simple solutions. As a former swimmer and triathlete, I enjoy keeping physically fit. In my spare time, I enjoy playing guitar as well!

For almost ten years now I've been teaching students of all ages, from across the globe, about everything from Ancient Rome to particle physics. Driven by a passion for discovery, and a desire to pass that love of learning on to others, I first began working with students as a Museum Educator at a local history museum, making the world of nineteenth century America come alive for visitors. In high school, I worked as a teaching assistant in a number of science and world history courses, providing support for both honors and remedial students to give them the tools they needed to succeed. As an undergraduate, I continued to pursue my passion for education, volunteering to teach local high school students in my free time and also serving as an undergraduate tutor for my residential college, where I provided assistance with everything from GRE prep to essay-writing.In May 2020 I graduated magna cum laude from UC Berkeley, having earned degrees in both History and Classics. I spent much of my senior year traveling around Europe and the United States, conducting research at archaeological sites such as Pompeii, Ostia, and Nimes, and working in archives at Princeton, Harvard, and Stanford in preparation for the completion of senior theses on cultural change in the Roman empire and on undergraduate Latin pedagogy, respectively. During my undergraduate years, I also worked as a research assistant in a number of different laboratories, studying ancient ceramics, medieval manuscripts, and Roman iconography, and spent a summer excavating the villa of the Roman emperor Hadrian with Columbia University.I intend to eventually pursue a PhD in Ancient History, but until then I look forward to tutoring with Varsity!

My name is Skylar, and I am excited to meet you! I attended Johns Hopkins University where I received my MA in classics and BA in classics and archaeology. I have taken Latin and ancient Greek through the graduate level. I received a 5 on a number of AP exams while in high school, including AP Latin, AP World History, AP US History, AP English Language, and AP English Literature.For the past year, I was working at Pace University as an Academic Coach. I helped students with their coursework in various subjects as well as essay writing. I want every student to produce their best work, and I want to help you achieve this too!

Light sparkles in the eyes of every engaged student, from K4 early readers to 12th-grade senior-thesis authors; and from dedicated life-long adult learners to "night-before-the-big-test" college-crammers. Fifteen years as both private and contracted tutor has profoundly enriched me as witness of the light of knowledge emerging in receptive minds. I can't wait to meet you!For me, tutoring must be more than a lecture session starring *me.* Instead, I seek to thoughtfully engage each student in dialogue, using open-ended questions: "What did you notice about that letter?" or "If you were building a city, what would you do?" or "Why do you think looking at the twinkling stars inspired ancient scientists to develop systems of mathematics?" Such questions help create an environment in which new ideas are safe, exciting, and heard.Although math was always my favorite subject in school, I also find such joy in tutoring communication arts as an adult.Leading students to effectively communicate their knowledge impacts literally every course of study, no matter the age or field.The foundation concepts of communication and literacy, laid well, produce life-improving fruits that will accompany each individual throughout life's duration. That's amazing to me!Third grade thru high school, and college thru adult students benefit greatly from simple, straightforward methods of building words, sentences, paragraphs, and essays.Foreign language learning is a critical key of humanity's interdependent growth. While attending the University of Vienna, Austria, I had my first contracted tutor job with a group of soldiers from the Austrian army, teaching English as a second language. All these concepts lead seamlessly into the grammar needed for foreign language study. My BA in German language is a demonstration of this love of language. Additionally, I have studied 4 years of French, 2 years of Spanish, and recently began Mandarin Chinese.Truly, I eagerly anticipate working with you, as we journey, learning and growing together!

I am a graduate of Tufts University and Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in International Relations with a focus on ethnic and cultural identity formation. I received my Master of Public Administration in Urban and Gender Economic Development. I have traveled extensively, working with the French Ministry of Education to work with children and adult English Language Learners to develop their spoken and written English skills. I currently tutor middle school students at a local after-school enrichment program. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English Language Arts and History. I am a firm advocate for the transformative power of education and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. When I???m not tutoring, I enjoy reading fiction and nonfiction books, photography, yoga and knitting.
