Award-Winning Physics Tutors serving Raleigh-Durham, NC

...of all ages in many subject areas. I have extensive experience in the following subjects: Spanish, Russian, Reading, Writing (and Composition), and Statistics. Having struggled with learning in a traditional classroom environment myself, I had to adapt and find methods of learning and study that made sense to me. As a tutor, I think it's critical to tailor my tutoring style to the specific needs of the student to best aide in their learning and...

...of the world around us. My degrees are in engineering (BS-General Engineering from Harvey Mudd, MS- Mechanical Engineering, and PhD-Bioengineering from Georgia Tech), but I also love art and literature and linguistics. Outside of academics, I am an avid sports fan (and rugby player) and I love to cook, hike with my dog, and travel. I have tutored many students one-on-one in subjects such as ACT/SAT test prep, writing, AP English, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and...

I am a sophomore at Duke University studying computer science and physics. Academically, I am drawn towards disciplines that employ logical problem-solving. I enjoy working with others to discover new intuitive ways of understanding problems.

...when I'm at a low point. Beyond personal interests, tutoring has always been a side project of mine. Even since middle school, at a local elementary school, I would help tutor students in basic arithmetic and spelling. In high school, while the curriculum changed from multiplication tables to Calculus, the idea was still the same: help as many people reach their full potential as possible. Now, through Varsity Tutors, I can help continue helping as...

...my freshman year of high school when I tutored students in Pre-Calculus. Since then, I have always been a math tutor and have continued to tutor in other subjects as well, including Spanish and U.S. history as well as tests such as the SAT and ACT. I have also tutored students from ages 5-17. My teaching philosophy entails a lot of practice and self-discovery. From my own experiences with challenging subjects, I know that going...

...minor and Chemistry. I also took the MCAT this past spring and scored a 522. My subscore breakdowns were (131/131/129/131). I teach all sciences (biology, chemistry, anatomy, etc.), French, and MCAT prep. For French, I have been studying for 10 years and am completely fluent. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running, yoga, and spending time with my friends. I am a Marshall Scholar and will begin graduate studies at the University of Cambridge in the...

...college level calculus. I also tutor English and writing skills, having taken several writing intensive college courses and gained experience in professional research manuscript writing. I prefer tutoring math (of any level) as I really enjoy seeing and better understanding how the world works through numbers. When I teach, I enjoy drawing real world connections and giving tangible examples of abstract ideas. I am an optimistic, energetic motivator who believes anyone can achieve anything he/she...

I am a student and a researcher with a lifelong passion for teaching! A twice exceptional* student myself, I specialize in helping other 2e and neurodivergent students reach their goals while making learning a fulfilling process. However, I love working with all students and cultivating a love of learning and curiosity.

...to attend my review sessions. At the end of the day, however, I do not abide by any rigid teaching style. I just love teaching, and I do whatever is necessary to make a problem/concept "make sense" to the person I'm working with. Even if that means taking a short break, approaching the problem from a radically different angle, or giving them a written explanation to mull over until we next meet. Outside of academia,...

I am a recent graduate from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with degrees in Chemistry BA and Psychology BS. With a strong STEM background in high school and obtaining all the pre-med prerequisites from undergrad, I am well-round in both the sciences and the humanities. I look forward to work with passionate individuals who go above and beyond to achieve their academic goals.

...ways to answer the questions, I love showing the many ways to answer one question! I think that my tutoring style is more hands on and going through the problem with the student. I will show them the way of answering the question then I let them do a different problem on their own and just guide them through it. Outside of tutoring I love to draw and take pictures. I love listening to music...

...my chemistry classes I have taken. I have begun academic research at NC State Chemistry Laboratories and further sparked my interest in the field of research. I have even became involved and appeared in the organic tutorial videos used by students. At the end of the third year in my undergraduate studies, I realized that I only needed 10 more hours to graduate, so I realized that I would finish school early. I took the...

...am looking forward to working with students who went through the same experiences I did. My tutoring experiences began with my little sister and gradually expanded as I continued through high school. Now that I'm in college, I think I can offer great insight into how to achieve great test scores and everything else that may be useful for getting into college. My tutoring strategies focus heavily on working closely with my students and developing...

I'm Alexandra but you can call me Ally; I am a freshmen engineering major at the University of Notre Dame so I'm a huge math and science nerd. I'm excited to work with new clients and establish relations with existing ones to help everyone reach their full academic potential!

I will be graduating from The College of New Jersey with a degree in Physics. Starting in September, I will be pursuing my PhD in Physics at the University of North Carolina. Through my career as a physics major I have gained extensive experience in helping students in science and math courses such as physics 1 and 2, calculus 1 and 2, and SAT Math.

...with test prep or writing! I hate taking standardized tests, but as a rising med student, I've been through A LOT of them, so I have a ton of strategies for how to tackle anything from the SAT to the MCAT. In contrast, I am passionate about writing, and would love to help you strengthen your writing skills. Miscellaneous info: I'm writing a book right now and I'm using my vague knowledge of music theory...

...from high school students through physics majors. I have TA'ed many different types of physics courses, including 'How Things Work', Introductory University Physics (algebra- and calculus-based) and graded for higher level courses including graduate level. In my TA background I have taught in different classroom styles including lecture, recitation, labs, and the 'flipped classroom' style of studios. In addition to tutoring and teaching, I have been involved in outreach activities designed to bring physics understanding...
