...evenings for those struggling with the class, and I decided to go one evening. This extra help raised my level of understanding and even my grade, immediately. I strive to offer the same type of help I received in these sessions because I would not be where I am in my academic career today without them. I am currently applying to medical school and hope to help others achieve their goals as well.

...that every student learns differently, so I must teach them differently. I want to find the best way to teach a student, so that their knowledge increases for many years to come. I have over 15 years of experience teaching ages from pre-Kindergarten to adults in a variety of subjects in reading, editing, writing, study habits, and test subjects.

...a subject but better communication skills will tend be a great teacher, in my opinion. For example, I may have the highest degree, highest level of understanding and knowledge of a particular subject, but if I do not know how get YOU to see it or understand, then I cannot actually teach it to you.

...your teaching philosophy/your tutoring style? My teaching philosophy is that all students can learn, grow and improve regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, location, family background or intellectual level. My job is to figure out how best to achieve this learning. What interests you outside of academia? Oftentimes, clients choose a tutor because they share a similar hobby.

...moment when a student's understanding grows - along with their confidence and curiosity. Its exciting to see someone discover the elegance of a mathematical formula or principle and helping them discover it is particularly rewarding. Its even more rewarding when a student's own excitement leads them to probe further - hungrily asking questions whose answers extend through to other topics and other subjects. But the most rewarding part of teaching is when the student's curiosity...

...UNC-Chapel Hill, majoring in Public Policy with a Concentration in Health. I love to dance, take photos, and hang out with my family and friends in my free time. My goal in a tutoring session is to ensure that the student is able to understand the conceptual aspects of the material instead of just memorizing facts. I hope I can help you with the subjects that you need help in. I look forward to working...

...join an expert panel from multiple disciplines offering customized solutions for each student. As a conversation partner with international students (e.g. from Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Thailand, and China), I had the privilege of assisting colleagues with varying levels of fluency and academic achievement. My personal background as a native speaker in Mandarin also helped with interpretation for other students learning Mandarin and Chinese culture. From a curricular standpoint, fluency in at least one foreign language,...

...Why I tutor: I've been tutoring other students since I was in high school, but I've been a tutee pretty much since I started public school when I was seven. Personalized tutoring was what helped me succeed in school, and I hope to be able to return the favor with Varsity Tutors. Who should hit me up: Anyone who needs help with test prep or writing! I hate taking standardized tests, but as a rising...
