Having been fortunate enough to have dedicated teachers and mentors help me through my own education,...

I truly love working with students to help them achieve more than they (and their parents) thought...

As a tutor at Varsity Tutors, I strive to provide this same level of support to every one of my students. Math has always been my strongest subject, and I enjoy learning and teaching it.

I aim to teach both fundamental concepts and the ability to solve problems step-by-step with well-established methods.

...others succeed in any way I can. After spending a few years helping students in my hometown prepare for the SAT, I've more recently focused on the hard sciences. I've taught students of all ages in the past and I believe it is important to curtail your teaching methods to the student's favorite learning style. Whether you're a visual, auditory, or tactile learner (or some combination of all three!), I'm confident I can assist you...

Since high school, I have helped fellow students with academics. At school, I was also a tutor through Penn's Tutoring Center.

...factor in the decision to be a neuroscience major. I am very interested in how people learn things, and how they understand the phenomena around them. Due to this fascination, I have spent many hours trying to figure out what makes certain learning techniques "better" than others, and I have become well versed in a variety of teaching styles. Personally, I learn through understanding, and try to teach others through that same understanding. In my...
