...math, science, and programming. I have mentored kids ranging from 5-15 and worked as a counselor for a science camp. My favorite subject to tutor would be programming since I have had a lot of experience in the area and it's so amazing to see students with little to no experience code their first projects.

I like to help students get prepared for university. I do this by simplifying the material they are struggling with, and re-presenting fundamental concepts in my own terms.

...subjects that they may initially struggle in. In my classes, I would naturally explain practice questions to my peers because I learned by teaching. One of my professors noticed this and invited me to become a teaching assistant for Linear Algebra and Differential Equations, which I have taught on and off for the past four years and I have also taught Probability and Statistics once. Prior to college, I tutored students in calculus and Spanish....

...and I'm a new tutor here at Varsity Tutors. I'm a pretty friendly guy, and I like to understand the concepts behind topics rather than memorizing formulas, so if you want a deeper, more conceptual understanding, I should be able to help :) Physics is my favorite to tutor, but I love biotechnology and related topics, and can tutor a wide range of subjects. I am currently enrolled in VCU's school of medicine where I...

...from Purdue University and have worked as an Actuary for 25 years. Many students feel like they're bad at math, when they're really just missing one or two key concepts. I enjoy one-on-one tutoring because I can talk to a student, identify issues, and help in understanding the concepts and ideas. We'll draw pictures and graphs to illustrate, and explain it all in language the student can understand. Hearing a student say "Is that all?"...

...working with students from elementary to college level, has equipped me with the knowledge and tools to support students with diverse learning needs, including those with ADHD and other learning differences.

...Math is something to be enjoyed. I believe that while knowing the formulas and procedures is important, memorizing mathematical formulas without appreciating the concepts is akin to memorizing the lines of a Shakespeare play without paying attention to the underlying prose. My strongest subjects are linear algebra and pre-calculus though I am proficient at tutoring all high school and college underclassmen mathematical subjects. I hope that my passion is contagious and that all of my...

I struggled throughout high school until finally preparing for the SAT and ACT, so I'm adept with picking up just what you're struggling with - I was there once, too....

...four years there working in the math tutoring center. I loved being able to work one-on-one with students and see their growth as they started to understand the material. I strongly believe that understanding concepts is just as important as being able to work out technical problems, and that all students (regardless of perceived mathematical intelligence) have the ability to do so. I also understand how mathematics functions to gatekeep some students from certain majors...
