We all learn differently. As Albert Einstein said, "Study is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think." Thomas Edison said only five percent of people think; another 10 percent think they think; and 85 percent would rather die than think. Let me help you be one of the five.

Kevin
Algebra Tutor • +10 Subjects
My first math lesson was when I was three years old. When I learned how to add numbers, I realized that there are numerous ways to find a solution, which propelled me to math being my favorite subject. I enjoyed seeing how numbers, logic, and operations come together. Now as a college student pursuing a dual degree in Finance and Business Analytics, I need to apply these math concepts into the business world.Out of all the subjects I have taken, math has been the consistent honors class I take every year. In other words, I always take the highest offered math course that school year allows me to take. In my 5th grade honors math class, I got the highest prealgebra pretest grade out of the whole class. While other students scored in the 50s, I got a 82. Since then, I knew math was my passion. I also did math league competitions and math Olympiad throughout middle and high school. I understood everything the teacher said and quickly became a secondary teacher for my classmates outside the classroom.My first tutoring experience took place in high school. While I took the most accelerated math subjects, I assisted others on their lower math subjects-subjects I took years before. I took my interest of math into AP Statistics, AP Calc, and Multivariable Calc and loved how the symbols created almost a new language of math. When I tutor students, my biggest advice is to understand and memorize the concept before applying formulas and operations into the problem. Practice is a big emphasis to succeed, especially higher degree math. I can teach basically any type of math lower than multivariable calculus, with exception to geometry, since I am not as strong as algebra or calculus. I really do not have a favorite math subject to tutor, since they all connect with each other and I have different styles to teach each of them.Outside of math, I am a big sports fan, and love applying statistics to specific teams and players. I also love playing poker.

Anatomy & Physiology Tutor • +18 Subjects
I am currently a Registered Nurse and MSN candidate. I am currently enrolled in a Dual FNP + Nurse Educator program. I have experience in Medical-Surgical, Surgical-Trauma Critical Care, and Medical Appeals/Quality Assurance/UR.While in nursing school, I was a peer tutor and truly loved helping others succeed. I have decided that I would love to continue this by going to grad school for Nurse Education. I graduated with honors and got all A's and B's while in nursing school. I found a great way to organize my lectures into study guides. I am currently enrolled in a Nurse Educator program and student teach as part of my courses. Currently, we are hybrid and I assist in the virtual aspect of the course. I would love to pass on my knowledge and passion for nursing to those who need help.I would also love to help any high school or middle school students that require assistance in my qualified areas.As a nurse, anatomy/physiology is something that I feel like I am nearly an expert in. I did very well in Pharmacology earning high scores on all exams and recognition from my nursing instructor. I also have a strong background in medical-surgical and complex medical populations. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and truly enjoy learning about human nature.I passed the NCLEX in less than 40 minutes with 75 questions. I studied very hard. I have learned how to read the question in order to ELIMINATE the answers. That is the KEY to NCLEX! And learning how to read what the question is ACTUALLY asking you. But more about that later.I would love to help you not only study, but get organized and stay on track! With my help, you should be able to pass your courses and move forward every semester! :)

Asia
Elementary School Reading Tutor • +7 Subjects
As an Alumna of Rockhurst University, I have dedicated my career and voluntary work to advocacy and education. I am currently attending Law School at Washburn University as I wanted to obtain a career to use my reading and writing skills for advocacy. I enjoy teaching English, Reading, and Writing skills as they are the foundation for any academic or professional opportunity. During undergraduate I ran my own mentoring program where I assisted high school students with english essays, scholarship essays, and reading skills, In which every senior in the program was accepted into college and received scholarships. Concurrently, I served as a Girl Scout Troop leader where I practiced sight words, reading comprehension, and writing skills using microphones and bubbles. I believe that a creative education space builds resilience and critical thinking skills which will nicely accompany a strong foundation of reading and writing skills.
Rujeko
Algebra Tutor • +7 Subjects
I believe mathematics is beautiful and enjoyable and with practice and the right kind of instruction, everyone can significantly improve their math skills. This is the enthusiasm with which I approach each of my lessons.I graduated summa cum laude with a BS in Mathematics and Physics from Georgia College and a Masters in Computational and Applied Mathematics from Rice University. I have 6 years of tutoring experience from being a tutor in College Algebra, a laboratory assistant for Physics and a teaching assistant for Pre-Calculus. These roles called for different levels of tutoring from lesson planning to grading. My expertise is in tutoring students at the high school and college levels in Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Trigonometry, Linear Algebra, and Introductory Physics.My main tools in tutoring are the knowledge that I have accumulated over the years and the ability to listen to the student's academic needs to achieve the desired success. To make it worthwhile, I thoroughly prepare for each tutoring session with concrete goals and action plans. After lessons, I evaluate performance and give feedback assigning areas to further work on. I strive to equip each of my students with new study skills that can be invaluable in their academic endeavors.

I attend North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in pursuit of a B.S. in Biology. My goal is to continue to medical school and embark on a career as a physician and science communicator.Internships, shadowing, and pre-professional experiences have poured into the development of my goals. My passion for education stems from a desire to do the same for others. In my future career, I plan to enable the population with tools and understandable education regarding health in the United States via multi-media platforms. To prepare, I have worked towards honing the skills I will need for both teaching. I have experience mentoring, tutoring, and collaborating with peers. As a varsity tutor, my goal is to put these skills to use.

I am a 2012 graduate of Cornell University. Following graduation, I worked at a startup for a few years and am now applying to law school. After tutoring several students privately, I found that one-on-one learning is very efficient and a great way to catch up and/or stay ahead. I enjoy working with students of all ages and abilities. I make your challenges mine, and we work together to design an individualized learning technique. I strive to make learning fun, and we set realistic goals. I am qualified to teach middle and high school math, chemistry, and English writing and literature. I can also help with preparation and test-taking strategies for the ISEE, SAT, and ACT. I can be your guide and critic in helping you construct your college application essays and make them substantively interesting and grammatically perfect. Aside from tutoring, I enjoy swimming, working out in the gym, playing tennis, and composing hip-hop beats.

My interest and love for Spanish began as a child when I went to my Puerto Rican grandma's house. There was a rich Hispanic culture throughout her home and how she lived. I never understood the Spanish she spoke, but I loved hearing it and have very fond memories of it from my childhood. Fast forward to me at 19-years-old, I chose to serve a 2-year full-time volunteer mission for my church. I had no choice in where they would send me, so I was very grateful when they assigned me to serve in Chile. Those 2 years in Chile gave me an immense love for the Spanish language and a desire to continue using it for the rest of my life.As I returned from my 2-year mission, I decided to apply for a Minor Degree in Spanish at Brigham Young University. There, I qualified to take an advanced-level Spanish-speaking test to waive 16 credits worth of Spanish courses and accelerate my formal Spanish education. I passed the test with an A and continued the rest of my collegiate study taking advanced level Spanish courses. While in the first two years of my college, I also worked as a Spanish teacher in a Training Center that taught young missionaries who were just starting their 2-year service missions for my church. That job engulfed me in the Spanish language daily and encouraged me to improve my Spanish-speaking abilities.Today, I continue to speak the Spanish language frequently after having learned it 8 years ago. I hold a Spanish Minor from Brigham Young University, and I want to continue sharing the benefits of learning the Spanish language with others around me. If you choose me to be your tutor, I will give you my best efforts to teach you all you need to know to excel in your classes. You will learn more than just the curriculum needed for a good grade. Well engage in effective practice sessions, learn clever ways to grasp the language, and have fun while doing it! I love Spanish, and I know you will too after working with me!
Gloria
Admissions Tutor • +24 Subjects
I did my undergraduate and doctoral training in Boston, at Wellesley College and Tufts University respectively. I have a BA in Latin American Studies and a PhD in Food Policy and Applied Nutrition.My mother tongue is Spanish; I am also fluent in Italian; and have extensive advanced fluency in French and German. I picked up my language skills while working and traveling to over 65 countries. My extensive linguistics knowledge coupled with my teaching experience allows me to help students struggling with learning Spanish; or writing college essays, term papers, dissertations or articles for publication; or organization skills to improve academic performance. Because of my varied travel experience I find it easy to adjust to students experiences and learning gaps in order to show them how to utilize the knowledge they already have and build on that knowledge in order to attain greater skills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Personality psychology focuses specifically on individual differences—why people behave differently in similar situations and how traits remain relatively stable over time. While general psychology covers broad topics like learning, memory, and development, personality psychology dives deep into theories like the Big Five, psychoanalytic approaches, and behavioral patterns. Understanding this distinction helps students grasp why personality psychology requires studying specific frameworks and research methods that differ from other psychology subfields.
Many students struggle with three key areas: (1) keeping major theories straight—Freud, Jung, Rogers, Bandura, and trait theorists all have different approaches that can feel overwhelming; (2) connecting abstract concepts like "defense mechanisms" or "locus of control" to real-world behavior; and (3) understanding how to evaluate research critically, especially when studies on personality can seem subjective. Personalized instruction helps clarify these distinctions and builds frameworks for organizing complex theories into a coherent understanding.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who focus on your specific weak areas—whether that's memorizing personality theorists, understanding statistical concepts like factor analysis, or analyzing case studies effectively. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify gaps in your foundation (like misunderstandings of basic concepts) and work at your pace, rather than moving at a class-wide speed. This targeted approach typically leads to measurable improvement in test scores, essay quality, and conceptual mastery.
A strong personality psychology tutor should have solid knowledge of major theories (Big Five, psychoanalytic, humanistic, social-cognitive approaches) and be able to explain why these theories matter. Beyond content expertise, effective tutors ask questions to understand how you learn best, break down complex theories into digestible pieces, and connect concepts to real examples so they stick. They should also be comfortable helping with both conceptual understanding and exam preparation strategies.
Personality psychology typically builds on foundational psychology knowledge (research methods, statistics, biological bases of behavior) and complements other upper-level courses like abnormal psychology, social psychology, and psychology of individual differences. Some programs use personality psychology as a prerequisite for specialized topics like organizational psychology or clinical assessment. Understanding this curriculum flow helps you see how personality concepts apply across different psychology domains and strengthens your overall major preparation.
Yes—many students find personality psychology research challenging because it involves interpreting correlation studies, factor-analytic designs, and longitudinal research. Tutors can walk you through landmark studies (like the Big Five research or attachment theory studies), help you evaluate methodology critically, and teach you how to discuss limitations and implications. This builds both your research literacy and your ability to discuss personality psychology in essays and exams with greater sophistication.
Students typically see improvement in three measurable ways: better test performance (through clearer understanding of theories and stronger exam strategies), stronger essay writing (by learning to analyze personality concepts and apply theories to scenarios), and increased confidence in class discussions and assignments. The timeline depends on your starting point and frequency of sessions, but most students notice meaningful progress within 4-6 weeks of consistent, focused instruction tailored to their specific challenges.
