I believe that education is one of the most important aspects of a young person's life. Students aren't incapable of learning just because they are struggling in a subject; they simply need ideas to be conveyed in terms that they can understand. In a classroom setting, it is very difficult for a teacher to communicate subject material in a way that the entire class can understand. This situation can be easily remedied with private tutoring, which is where I come in.Having just completed a degree in biomedical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, I have gained a strong understanding of several subjects within math and science. In the past, I've tutored in math and writing at both high school and collegiate levels. These experiences have been thoroughly enjoyable because, in addition to teaching, I was able to get to know my students by chatting about life outside of the classroom. Tutoring has and continues to be a pursuit of mine because making complicated concepts intuitive to others gives me a strong sense of fulfillment. I would love the opportunity to help students gain an academic edge with Varsity Tutors.

I am a student at Rice University working towards a degree in History and English. Every summer I look forward to working with students. In the past, I have taught English, creative writing, nature/biology, and even cooking, but my favorite areas to teach are English Literature and History. I find that teaching children struggling in these subjects new ways of approaching their topic, whether a historical event or a classic novel, greatly improves comprehension, enjoyment of the subject, and test scores. Simply providing a new context for learning can create a better understanding that turns a weak subject into a strength. With all my students, I emphasize a balance between memorized aspects like vocabulary, and analytical skills that demonstrate a more thorough knowledge of them material. Apart from tutoring, I love to cook, write, fish, and play frisbee.

I am a graduate of Drew University with a double major in History and Theater. I was awarded Outstanding Student of History and am a member of the History Honors Society. I am also about to have one of my papers published in the Edinburgh History of Reading.I primarily have experience tutoring in the humanities (English, writing and history). I believe in finding ways to make work educational, fun, and giving tools that can be used outside of the classroom.

I am originally from Atlanta. I recently completed an MFA in Creative Writing at Chatham University. I speak French at the advanced intermediate level, and have traveled extensively across Europe. I feel I have a lot to offer as a tutor of writing and literature.

I am currently a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and my major is Computer Science with a Math Emphasis. I tutor in Geometry, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, AB/BC Calculus, and Calculus 1.Math has always been my favorite subject in school and I have been tutoring people in math since I was in high school. Even though I have a passion for math, I have struggled with it from time to time and I understand how frustrating it can be. As a college student, I have taken a lot of math classes and I have learned many different methods of teaching various concepts. Sometimes students that are struggling just need the material to be presented in a different way.My tutoring style is entirely dependent on each student's learning style. I usually start by trying to find out what they are struggling the most and adjust the way I present the material from there. I often like to ensure that the student has a plan for each problem that they encounter.My goal is to make each student confident in their ability to approach any math problem that they may encounter on a test.

I am an experienced, certified English teacher for grades K-12 and would love to help your child improve his/her reading comprehension, writing, grammar, vocabulary, study, speaking, phonics, and overall communication skills. I have taught multiple English, Writing, Journalism, and Marketing classes and have served in Admissions and Marketing positions in a private high school for the past seven years. I earned my Master's Degree in Teaching from Fairleigh Dickinson University, as well as Bachelor's degrees in both English and Communications from Boston College. Most importantly, I am a mother of three, so I understand the challenges and stresses our children face in the school environment today. I also hold my teaching certification in Elementary Education. Prior to teaching, I worked in the corporate sector for ten years. Thus, I can help your child learn the skills he/she will need to succeed in the classroom, as well as in the real world. I look forward to helping your child build his/her skills, confidence, and love of learning.

I am a passionate college student working toward a bachelor's degree in environmental and planetary science at Washington University in St. Louis. I attained a high school diploma at Fair Lawn High School, where I was a Peer Leader. In this role, I tutored a struggling freshman in English and algebra and helped her develop study skills. I really enjoy connecting with students of any age and providing them with a deeper understanding of their academic material. I am a patient and open-minded instructor, and will always consider the best way for my student to learn. I most enjoy tutoring English and essay writing, AP Biology, and SAT Reading, but am qualified to tutor in the maths as well. In my free time I enjoy crafting and martial arts.

I am a part of the University of Chicago class of 2020, where I plan to pursue a major in economics and possibly biology, and a medical degree afterwards. I’ve had about 3 years of tutoring experience, and I tutor SAT, ACT, English, math, biology, and chemistry.As a tutor, I believe that each student has the potential to learn any subject as long as they’re taught in a way that suits them and they want to learn. Different students have different needs, so tutoring one-on-one can be a lot more beneficial than classroom learning simply because the teacher can personalize their lessons to fit each student. Moreover, as long as the student really does want to master the material, even lofty goals are reachable given enough time and a breakdown of the material into small pieces. When both parties are willing to put in effort, it’s hard to fail. And if the student doesn’t truly want to learn the material, then it’s important to ask why that is, and how to change that mindset—because as “useless” as many students think learning how to, say, calculate an integral or write an essay analyzing Austen is, most of the skills they pick up along the way do serve some purpose later in life, both directly and indirectly.Outside of tutoring and academic pursuits, I am on the debate team and plan on either doing debate or mock trial during my years at UChicago. I also play volleyball recreationally, run, and practice yoga. I love to read and write, and when I’m not doing either you can catch me playing flute or piano.

I graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Linguistics from the University of British Columbia in Canada where I took Classical Japanese, Newspaper and Essays in Japanese, Origin of English, and Historical Linguistics, to name a few.I passed the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) level N1 with a 168 out of 180 while living in Japan; I was there for 2 years teaching English on the JET (Japan Exchange and Teaching) Programme. I was hired by the Ibara Board of Education in Okayama Prefecture, Japan, where I was contracted to teach English at local kindergartens, elementary schools, and middle schools. I was promoted in the second year to relocate to the main local middle school, and I was hired separately to teach Adult English Conversation night classes to members of the local community, hired privately to film local television commercials for English related summer camps, invited to numerous local Rotary Club meetings for excellence, and was ultimately offered to renew the contract for another year, which I declined.I have taught conversational and grammatical Japanese, Korean, and English to age groups ranging from 8 to 25 since summer of 2007.I was an active part of student associations during my time at the university: Vice President, by election, of the University of British Columbia Japanese Association and Department Head the year before, and Executive Member of the Japanese Relations at Queen's University and Head of Arts the year before.All tutoring / lessons can be conducted in Japanese, Korean, and English. I look forward to meeting you.

Over the past decade, I have done paid and voluntary tutoring of Chemical Engineering and Math courses in both one-on-one and classroom settings. However, I particularly enjoy tutoring Math and my students often wish I were the actual professor for the course.Furthermore, I have a very strong background in Math and scored a perfect 800 in the Quantitative section of the GRE (previous format). My goal is empower my students to achieve their academic potential.
