...to be. There are a few key concepts that I like to pass along that can clarify and simplify the problem sets that students face. In some cases, it is a matter of being able to express a problem in mathematical terms. In others it is being able to visualize exactly what happens in a reaction. After being pointed in the right direction, and with a little practice, most any student can excel in chemistry.

...discover and there is no limit to what you can learn. I can say that some great teachers and professors have shaped my interest in science and would love to help other students see this joy in learning. I know science and math can be really tough, and many times I have wanted to give up, but I pushed through, and I want to give other students the encouragement and ability to push through as...

Previously, I have tutored students of all ages in various subjects, with an emphasis in math and SAT. As a tutor, I believe that students learn best through solving problems. By guiding students through various problems, I will help them learn how to apply their knowledge to solve complex...

...as both a tutor and tutor mentor. I have greatly cherished my time as a tutor because it not only contributed to my growth as a scholar but allowed me to give back to the community by helping my peers succeed. My tutoring philosophy revolves around the students, not the assignments they bring. I believe that a tutor's job is to ensure students improve their own capabilities and are better able to work independently and...

...College of Medicine. I have been tutoring middle school, high school and college students in Chicago through Varsity Tutors since November 2014. My own passion for math and science and my academic history of them has resulted in a focus in tutoring within these subjects. Of these, my favorite topics to tutor are Algebra and Chemistry, as they both have discernible patterns within the material which leads to a better understanding as one builds new...

...tutoring elementary, middle, and high school students but am willing to teach at any level. My specialties lie in the sciences and with my strong research background I am not a stranger to navigating and explaining what seems like daunting concepts. Going beyond the technical details of each subject, I believe that strong foundational study skills can assist the student in all their subjects. While I am sure my methods arent perfect, I hope to...

...a high school student, for his 9th grade year, focusing mostly on his biology and writing assignments. I was a research coordinator at the Marcus Autism center where I worked with very young kids (ages 2-9) with and without learning disabilities. We worked on general school-related skills and any homework they brought. In my master's program, I did a lot of group study. Frequently, this meant teaching a group of my peers who needed to...

I'm a recent PhD graduate in Bioengineering in the Boston area. My thesis involved nanoparticles and bacterial infections, but as a biomedical engineer I've had training in circuits, mechanics, some programming, chemistry and biology. Tutoring for me is a collaborative effort, following a problem-based learning with questions that will lead the student towards the answer they're looking for while providing a well-rounded understanding of why and how that answer works.

...currently earning a joint M.S. in Biomedical Sciences and healthcare-concentrated M.B.A. in a collaborative program between Tufts University School of Medicine and the Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University. Prior, I was a dual Biological Sciences and Economics major at my undergraduate alma mater, Fordham University. I am eager to utilize the knowledge acquired form my various educational experiences to teach and inspire the next wave of enthusiastic science-oriented students.

...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 Chemistry tutor, as well...

...Ha" moment? That moment when everything seems to come together and make perfect sense? Sometimes all it takes is an explanation, a demo or a new way of re-framing the question. That is what I enjoy about teaching, tutoring. The "A Ha" moments. I enjoy the sciences because there is a method to the madness, and it makes sense. Sometimes the challenge is showing how it makes sense but when you get that, you get...

Biotechnology major at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I am on the genetics/cell biology track, however, I have hands-on experience working with a multitude of biology and math subjects(Including a personal passion for algebra).

My goal is to create a fun and safe learning environment while still keeping it professional!

...of classes in the music department as well. I enjoy teaching others, and learning in the process. While I have not tutored extensively in the past, I have helped others with academic subjects informally; I feel that my communication skills coupled with the joy I feel when seeing something finally 'click' for someone will make me both effective and fun. I have taken college level calculus, and statistics for psychological sciences. I am good at...

...and find that tutoring is very rewarding. My favorite moment is when I see the "light bulb" showing that a student understands what they need. I believe that understanding why a solution works is much more important than simply memorizing. Earning my master's degree in education and becoming a teacher was my mid-life crisis. Before that, I worked in industry as a chemical engineer and then a project manager for many years after earning my...

...actually happens is the teacher keeps going on ahead and you are still stuck on the previous problem. My goal is to find a way to guide students step by step through topics at their pace, and by using their own personal thought process and learning style, so that it becomes intuitive and fun to learn! I am a scientist working in Biotech, with a bachelor's in Biochemistry from University of Massachusetts Boston. I tutor...
