Over the last 20 years, I have seen all types of classes, teachers, exams, and homework. I've been the student, the tutor, the teacher, and the professor. Whatever it is that you need to get ready for, I will take the time to make sure you can get to where you want to be!

Hello! I'm Chris, a fun-loving math tutor who enjoys helping students of all ages see math in a light that helps them expand their horizon. I've worked one-on-one with students for about 7 years now. I enjoy understanding and learning from my students on top of showing them mathematics in a way tailored to them.

...help other students find their passion for learning as well! I first started helping out in a classroom when I was 12. My middle school had a special education center and I had the opportunity to work with a class of high-functioning, non-verbal 3rd graders for a year! Throughout high school, I babysat the four children of a family friend on a regular basis, helping with (elementary level) schoolwork whenever required. I began tutoring around...

Hello! I am an engineer by training, who is looking to help young people cultivate love and interest for math and science!

...time position as a Medical Device Manufacturing Engineer. I am a leader of the STEM (science technology engineering math) team at my workplace as I am very passionate about STEM. I enjoy competing in triathlons, reading, hiking, and traveling to difference countries. I love tutoring math, science, and physics. I enjoy getting to know students and their strengths and areas of opportunities regarding learning. I believe that all students should have the confidence in their...

...the University of Dundee, and space pirate currently based on planet earth. I was part of the PHOQUS project, working with optical tweezers for biological applications. After having failed to evolve my optical tweezers into light-sabres, I devolved my spare time to science communication. Sometime along the way, I have lived in Belgium, studying photovoltaics, and in Germany, doing a bit of chemistry. I sporadically write on my blog, newoldscience.com, and I love to spread...

I am a professional scientist with multiple years of experience in the biopharmaceutical field. I have spent time in the classroom with elementary aged students and am comfortable with this age group. I am also familiar with AP classes and ACT/SAT preparation. I look forward to sharing my love of learning with students and helping them achieve academic goals!

...is either ignorant or unwise. One could suppose that's another way of pointing out those who haven't been part of it, but that's not my purpose. My purpose is to aid those in the muck of it so their efforts and time expenditure are met with appropriate results, because things are not easy and often times quite grueling. But we deserve better from those who might have a useful tip or two.

I am a potential friendly mathematician who is also interested in computer programming.

...from Ballard High School in Seattle. In High school I participated in FIRST Robotics and discovered a passion for things that move, prompting me to major in mechanical engineering. I have always enjoyed math. In high school I enjoyed my algebra and AP calculus courses. In college I have taken many courses that use applied math, including finance and physics. I have experience tutoring kids at many different levels. For 5 years I worked with...

...requires proficiency in nearly all areas of high school and college level science and mathematics subjects, which is why I chose to teach these subjects on the Varsity Tutors platform in 2018 (my freshman year of college). When I'm not tutoring, I like to spend my time running, hiking, reading, coding, and doing research. If there's anything else you'd like to know about my background, feel free to ask me during a session.

...to help with a study of methane emissions in Spain, and I worked with the International Pulsar Timing Array in Holland and Australia to discover new pulsars and clouds of interstellar hydrogen. I also tutored individuals and groups in physics, math, and astronomy. My favorite subject to tutor in is math. While math is often seen as intimidating, I like making it fun and engaging. I think it's important to see math as a skill...

...and Molecular Engineering. My goal is to help students reach the point where they won't just be able to ace exams, but will in fact be able to teach material back to me, since that is the sign of true understanding. When I see someone's face light up when a complicated set of ideas is distilled into a viscerally understandable (and exciting!) bite-sized concept, I get a sense of fulfillment like nothing else. Learning math...

...Science, Comprehensive Mathematics, and/or ACMS: Discrete Math and Algorithms, with a possible minor in physics. While, I am passionate about all of these subjects, I am also generally interested in the progress of technology, and find myself excited at any new breakthrough. I am a firm proponent of education, and believe it to be necessary for a proper quality of life. In my free time, I enjoy exercising, reading, and persuing any manner of personal...

...the next generation of scientists and engineers. I first started developing my love for STEM while attending Montessori school. As I continued with my education from a catholic high school to the University of Washington, I found my enthusiasm for problem solving became more and more engrained into my everyday life. I believe that success within any field of knowledge comes from continual curiosity and questioning of the models and methods presented before an individual....

...creative thinking. I am not only focused on creating a productive environment but encouraging creative learning in STEM and finding joy and energy in those subjects. I am an electrical engineering graduate from the University of Illinois (2017). On a technical level, I focus on mathematics, especially linear algebra, differential equations, and calculus up until multivariable; I subsequently also have experience in all math levels below those. My EE background also means expertise in circuit...

...Since graduation, I have been working at the University of Washington as a Clinical research coordinator, working with children and adolescents who have experienced trauma in childhood.
