I grew up in the Boston area and now live in Citrus County, Florida. I graduated from MIT in chemical engineering and worked for many years as a chemical process engineer, so I have a strong background in math and science, especially chemistry and thermodynamics. I've also been granted six U.S. patents. When the pandemic hit us, I moved to Florida and did part-time work as a chess tutor, then became a substitute teacher in the middle and high schools in our district. I enjoyed working with the students, many of whom had difficulty learning in big classes with many disruptions. I found that I could best help these students by using real-world examples to teach difficult concepts in a new way. Often, then, the student would come away with a new perspective and a much better understanding of the concept. I was happy to be able to help. These days as a VT tutor, I continue to use, whenever possible, real-world examples in my own material in chemistry and thermodynamics.

Current 4th year Medical Student Previously a Writing Center tutor for three years at University of Connecticut Bachelor's of Science in Molecular Cell Biology and Sociology I can provide both structured tutoring, where I assign work in between sessions, and more free-form tutoring. I can tutor topics regarding medicine (including MCAT) or medical terminology as well topics in chemistry (high school/intro college chemistry and organic chemistry), biology (high school/college), and statistics (AP statistics specificaly). I joined Varsity Tutors to give students an easy resource to access when they are struggling. I also can help students with writing assignments for ANY class as well as for college/medical school applications.

Hello! my name is Judah Renshaw founder and head tutor of "ACT like you mean it" tutoring company. I gradated high school early with honors, distinction a 4.6 GPA and am currently in my 3rd year of undergrad working towards a Bachelors in business. Every year of my schooling I have been asked to tutor or otherwise assist my peers academically. I enjoy tutoring any subject as long as I am informed of the topic beforehand. But I most enjoy helping students prepare for and improve their scores on the ACT exam. My most recent students all improved their scores by 5 (composite) points or more! My primary goal is to help each student successfully obtain (and redefine if currently lackluster) their academic goals. At times students need to rediscover their curiosity. I can help them work past frustration to refocus and/or differentiate other blocks to learning. I do not take the responsibility of helping you or child along your/their educational journey lightly. I am open to input and working with guardians/teachers as well!

I am a graduate of Georgetown University, where I majored in Physics and French. I plan on working towards a graduate degree in Applied Mathematics. I have been teaching and tutoring Math, French, and Physics for more than seven years. In my past experience, I have taught a great variety of students in vastly different settings. From teaching a math class to high school students, to tutoring a four year old in french online, I love the variety of my experiences I have as a tutor. I greatly enjoy seeing the progress that my students make, both in their academic track record and their skills as a student. In my opinion, no one is 'bad' at a certain subject - I'm passionate about finding ways for my students to connect with subjects that they have struggled with in the past. In my free time, I enjoy reading, baking, yoga, hiking, and photography.

I have enjoyed tutoring students for over 40 years. I remember my first student was the 7 grade daughter of the college librarian where I work at as an undergraduate at the University of North Alabama. I tutored her in math. I tutored numerous nursing students in chemistry while at graduate school at Vanderbilt University in Nashville where I received my PhD in 1985. I tutored students in science and math during my career as an industrial water treatment chemist. Upon retiring, I decided to continue tutoring part time as it still continues to bring me so much joy to help others suceed in their academic pursuits. I am the chemistry tutor at the tutor center at our local community college.

As a recent graduate from Cornell University with a degree in biological sciences and someone who plans to attend medical school in the future, my passion and appreciation for the sciences and medicine is something I consider integral to my identity. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology and chemistry as those are the subjects in which I have past teaching experience in the classroom setting. In particular, my teaching style focuses on rephrasing and remodeling initially daunting concepts and information into bite-sized and digestible bits of information that any student can comprehend. I firmly believe that a lot of what slows students down in the learning process is their preconceived notions of course material. My passion for helping students stems from my experiences as an undergraduate where I can remember on countless occasions feeling lost in the material with little direction on how to approach the curriculum. I can think back to the many times I would have benefitted from having someone who could have guided me through stretches of daunting coursework which led me to become a tutor myself. As a teaching assistant, I discovered my passion for helping students manage their way through courses that many considered to be very difficult. Seeing how they reacted to my assistance reminded me why I applied for the position in the first place and motivates me to help students learn more every single day.

Applied knowledge is wisdom. One exam doesn't determine your future. You can always perform better next time or find a field that aligns with your strengths

I am a person who genuinely enjoys both writing and chemistry (especially organic). To most people, this seems like an odd combination but for me it's natural. I have been able to leverage both of these skills in order to obtain a PhD in organic chemistry. Also, I have written a couple of articles about chemistry on Medium. Understandably, some students struggle in these areas and I would like to help. When I am working with students, I like to be flexible with my teaching approach. During our first session, the student and I will set goals for our time together and we will discuss your learning style. In the subsequent sessions, student and I will work together to develop a learning environment that will help you Education: - Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of Notre Dame (2014) - B.S. in Biochemistry from Xavier University of Louisiana (2008) Experience: 1. 5 years working as a lecture teaching assistant for general chemistry I and organic chemistry I and II at the University of Notre Dame 2. 1 year experience tutoring a high school student in chemistry (1 hour per week) 3. 6 years experience in helping undergraduate students understand organic chemistry and biology

Hi! My name is Abdullah. I am a University of Georgia Biology and Psychology double major graduate, and an incoming resident physician. My personal tutoring philosophy is trying my best to create a collaborative learning environment, and making a conscious effort to tailor the educational process to personal need of each student. I tutored Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry, and Spanish for the UGA department of academic enhancement for 2 and a half years until I graduated. I have also tutored MCAT, and provide guidance for the entire premedical application process. I look forward to working with you :)!
