Hello future students! I'm excited to start working with you all. My name Will and I'm currently a student and writing tutor at Oberlin College.

I'm certain we'll be able to make good progress and have a good time working together.

...Since graduation, I have lived in Medellin, Colombia where I am doing research through the Veterinary school. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about math, chemistry, and neuroscience. I am a firm believer that natural ability has little to do with success in a subject. Everyone can succeed at math or chemistry if they are engaged, having fun, and most importantly, understand the necessary underlying concepts. In my spare...

Hello! I am a current graduate student at Boston University studying Global Developmental Policy. I love learning and helping others cultivate their strengths in education. I especially enjoy teaching reading and writing; Spanish language and grammar; and piano. Learning can be very enjoyable, and I'm here to help! I look forward to working with you! :)

...school students taking Pre-Calculus and Calculus, college students taking Calculus I/II and Linear Algebra -- and any level in between! Tutoring is one of my favorite activities, because every student I work with teaches me something new about my field. In addition to doing math and writing French poetry, I play the piano, contract bridge, soccer and tennis. I am also a passionate vegan, and hope to one day combine math and language into a...

...a program where I helped younger students strengthen their math skills in fun, approachable ways. These experiences have deepened my belief that anyone can succeed in math with the right support. I primarily tutor statistics and mathematics, subjects I not only excel in but genuinely enjoy. I love showing students how these subjects connect to real-world problems and helping them find strategies that make complex concepts feel manageable. Outside of academics, I enjoy hiking, skiing,...

...insights into how students learn, and I strive to make challenging material approachable and engaging. Although I have experience tutoring for less than a year, I have already developed a student-centered approach that emphasizes comprehension over rote memorization. I enjoy breaking down concepts and guiding students to those illuminating moments of clarity. My goal is to foster confidence in their abilities and inspire a genuine interest in their studies, making learning a rewarding journey.

I'm a rising senior at Amherst College in Massachusetts. I study sociology and enjoy my job as a teaching assistant for the Computer Science department. I enjoy assisting students as they work to master new academic concepts of all sorts! The bulk of my tutoring has been in the fields of math (algebra through calculus), computer science, and PSAT/SAT prep.

...to teach others. I have worked with students who I knew well and student that I did not know prior to tutoring them in the past two years in order to help them better understand subjects they struggled with from algebra to calculus. What I enjoy most about tutoring and what motivates to help other students is being able to emphasize the interesting aspects of the subject to counteract the common social stigma that math...

...pharmacist - I'm in my first year of the PharmD program at Northeastern University. As you can probably guess, my area of expertise is the sciences - specifically Biology and Chemistry. However, I am also able to teach other subjects such as math through high school levels, and standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, PCAT, etc). I have been tutoring with Varsity Tutors since June 2018. While in undergrad, I was a college-level General and Organic...

...my formal education, I have spent the last few years working as a substitute teacher in elementary schools; as well as, working in the summer school programs. This experience has allowed me to interact with and support children with a range of abilities in their lessons and activities, all while teaching me new behavior management strategies. I have worked with students with disabilities. As an enthusiastic teacher, I am dedicated to enabling young minds to...

...reading as a member of Teach for America. My students started two years behind in Reading but ended each year on grade level or above (averaging 3.3 years of growth). An avid reader, I took time to learn best teaching practices adjusting to learning styles and standards. I know how to develop and execute aligned lesson plans, while making lessons fun and engaging so students can be engrossed in the learning. Before teaching I studied...

...one of my favorite teachers was teaching. I used the opportunity not just to teach, but to learn more under the wing of a great woman. After two summers, I went to college and volunteered for the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. There I was partnered with a fourth grader named Jashawn, we worked together on homework assignments and review, but I like to think he learned a little more than what was just prescribed...

...camp, where I taught students aged 6-11 website design, Scratch programming, and movie making. I've also worked as a Writing Center tutor, and have informally tutored friends in music theory. My teaching philosophy is that one has to want to learn something for its own sake in order to truly get the most value out of it. Whatever I am teaching, I try my best to impart the importance and beauty of the thing itself.

...able to convey thoughts, made me want to take my skill and share it with others. The additional TESOL qualification moulds a course that is perfect for my ambition; to teach English to those who requires the full understanding of the language. For the past three years I've worked in Vietnam in the country's largest English Center, Vietnam USA society. With this company I would work with every level of students from kindergarten all the...

...a dental assistant in hopes of one day becoming a dentist. I love helping people and making them smile, especially if they are having a difficult time learning a specific concept or idea.

My teaching style is unique. I first listen to...

...school and have even traveled to facilitate mock United Nations committees at the National High School (NHSMUN). During NHSMUN, 5000 international students attended as delegates to debate on research that directors such as myself write for the committee. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about History and Math. In my experience, students and I tend to have to most fun preparing for history by turning events into stories that...

...at Boston Latin, I have found that some students have a natural turn for writing essays and need little more than encouragement and editing. With most students, however, writing is not a skill they can effortlessly pick up, and creativity is not instantly fluid. Bearing that in mind, I use a Socratic method to draw out ideas and key words and phrases when helping students come up with responses to creative writing essay questions, i.e.,...

...of all different ages and backgrounds, including children ages 6-18, adults, and senior citizens. It also gives me the ability to modify my teaching approach according to the needs of my students. I have enjoyed teaching private music lessons since 2016, and regularly make house calls for my students. Outside of teaching and performing, I enjoy running, reading, and spending time with friends. My favorite books include J.D Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye", Tim...

...school myself in a variety of subjects including Math, Latin, and Writing. I like to focus on any questions the student may have with the material and working on some examples before moving on to work on any assignments. My favorite subject to tutor is math because there is usually a simple way to explain a concept that clears away any confusion. In math, there are many right ways but only one right answer. In...
