A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, I am excited to help students achieve their goals and take the utmost advantage of their education.

...by education and scientist by occupation. I have a bachelors in Chemical Engineering and a masters in Bioengineering. Outside of work, I am passionate about math and science and helping students build their confidence in those subjects. Since each student has a unique learning experience, it is important to meet students where they're at and find a way to best facilitate their learning. I hope to inspire and help each person that I meet.

...am a current Biomedical Engineering student at the University of Rochester. Through majoring in an engineering discipline and having previous tutoring experience for middle school - high school mathematics I believe I am best equipped to tutor in math. Additionally, I also have a strong basis in basic sciences such as biology and chemistry. I often find myself explaining challenging mathematical concepts to peers at school, and hope to extend that education to a broader...

...always the student, poor thing). Now I enjoy tutoring students of all ages in a variety of subjects. My favorite subject to tutor is math because, unlike English, the rules always stay the same. I also enjoy tutoring for both the ACTs and the SATs. It is great to see a student's scores improve as we work on practice tests and the different skills that they need. In my free time I love to travel....

...As a tutor and teacher, I work to help students be active, rather than passive, learners. I believe that my job isn't only to teach students academic content, but also to help them develop skills to set goals and gain autonomy over their own education. When working in schools, collaboration with colleagues is central to my practice; when tutoring, this means being open to feedback from my students and their families so we can work...

...I really enjoy tutoring these subjects because my students and I work together to understand the principles underlying the problems, which helps us remember everything better and makes studying more enjoyable. My tutoring theory is that students either know the answer or know how to find it, and together we can make that happen. My wife and I spend our free time camping, cycling, running, reading and exploring New England, which we love!

...Coast Guard Academy. As a writing tutor, I assisted students with all stages from the writing process, from brainstorming and drafting, to research strategies and proper citation techniques. By working for two very different universities, I have experience working with a variety of students in multiple subjects, ranging from English and History papers at Connecticut College to Nautical and Marine Science papers at the Coast Guard Academy. As a writing tutor, I strive to create...

...Tennessee, I attended an all-male boarding and day school for high school, and was given a lot of opportunities to pursue advanced coursework and opportunities that weren't available to 99% of students in the area. As a result, I've joined Varsity Tutors as an effort to give back and try to help students get excited about learning various subjects, employing many of the methods that allowed me to succeed. While I tutor a wide range...

...Reasoning (proof construction). I also volunteered twice weekly in a 5th grade math classroom as an assistant teacher. In addition to math and statistics, I have taken a variety of computer science courses. I am most skilled in Python and R-Studio. I would be happy to tutor for math, statistics, or computer science. As evidenced by my repeated positions in the math department, I love tutoring and take great pleasure in getting to know students...

...that students learn best by doing. I have a love of language and particularly enjoy teaching English. I have taught adults and children in the United States, in Peru (where I was born and spent part of my childhood), and most recently in Kenya. In 2016 I received my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) from the Boston Language Institute. After teaching for a few years I obtained a Masters of Education in ESL...

...have the insight and experience to help students understand what is important to succeed on their tests. My non-academic interests are all various forms of gaming. I have been a competitive Magic: the Gathering player for over 13 years. Otherwise I play many video games mostly older series: Touhou, Guitar Hero, and n64 speedruns. My current focus is on danmaku games, and I am currently working on programming my own game in that genre; I...

...graduation, I taught middle school math and science and have spent some time being a full time mom. I am available to tutor a variety of subjects, and most enjoy teaching biology, ecology, and the scientific method. I think the best way to learn is to find a way to make the material relatable and part of the bigger picture. I certainly don't mind relating subjects with a fun or gross bit of information or...

...I plan to attend dental school in the future. My experience tutoring Biology and Math has taught me the importance of getting through to each student as an individual, and that every person's learning style is different. I believe the most valuable learning comes when students are encouraged to solve problems using their own basic knowledge and skills, rather than being told to memorize a certain formula or simply being given the answer. This is...

On top of my scientific pursuits, I have immersed myself in the worlds of classical Latin and Spanish. The beauty of language and its power are so wonderful.

...a local middle school this past semester. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about Math and Sciences, and especially love using pictures and short video clips to help strengthen students' understanding of the concepts. Everybody learns differently, and everybody deserves to learn well- finding the methods that make it 'click' for a student is one of the most powerful tools for life-long learning and is something that I strive for.

I have tutored for two years. I excelled in math and science courses throughout school and would love the opportunity to help you do the same.

...and have taught students of all ages. For the past three years, I have concentrated on preparing students for both the IELTS and TOEFL exams. I am fluent in Mandarin-Chinese and have found this very helpful in working with Chinese students in terms of bridging cultural/linguistic gaps. I am currently employed at a charter school with a majority Hispanic population and have enjoyed learning so many new things about their culture and language.
