I'm a pre-health student at the University of Pennsylvania, and have an extensive background in the sciences. I can also rock the SATs and MCAT, so I've got that going for me. I love learning with students and trying to make the tedious work of learning as fun as possible. I think and teach in examples and make abstract concepts easily understandable. I also love sports, adventures, travelling!

As a dedicated tutor in my final year of my Doctorate in Osteopathic Medicine program and over 2 years of experience, I am passionate about fostering a supportive learning environment that empowers students to excel. I graduated with my Bachelors degree in Human Development & Family Studies from Indiana University with minors in Chemistry and Psychology. After, I completed my Masters in Medical Science from University of North Texas Health Science Center. My specialties include Algebra, Anatomy & Physiology, and various levels of Science, including examination preparation for AP exams and Step/Level board exams, where I employ interactive teaching methods to engage students and make complex concepts accessible. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet individual learning styles, ensuring that every student feels confident and motivated. My background in Human Development and Family Studies informs my understanding of student needs, allowing me to connect on a personal level. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring new educational resources and engaging in creative activities, which I find enrich my teaching practice.

As a passionate tutor in my fourth year of medical school, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment. With over 3 years of experience, I specialize in elementary through high school subjects, including math, reading, writing, and Spanish, as well as standardized test prep, including ACT/SAT and MCAT, and college application essay-writing. My teaching philosophy centers on building strong connections with my students, using interactive methods that cater to their individual learning styles. I find joy in guiding students towards academic success and helping them develop a love for learning. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring all the different foods, music, and cultures that Chicago has to offer! I believe that every student has the potential to excel, and I strive to empower them on their educational journey.

I graduated with a B.A from Cornell University and majored in biology (premed) with a concentration in genetics. I am currently 2nd year medical student at DUCOM and am passionate about biology, biochemistry and English. I understand the struggle of memorising small details and struggling to understand the big picture conceptually. I look forward to working with students struggling with stem courses

Everybody learns, and everybody learns differently. The importance of pedagogy, the practice of teaching, cannot be overstated. It is not enough to share knowledge; knowledge must be communicated. This is the philosophy by which I have tutored and by which I currently tutor. With 4th grade students and with college-age students, with students in America and with students in Japan, I have helped new ideas and information take root and blossom to the satisfaction of student and tutor alike. I love those moments of recognition as someone internalizes knowledge, when an unfamiliar idea becomes familiar, and the creative ability such moments foster. My aim as a tutor is to understand how my students learn, so that they can do so most efficiently.

Hi! My name is Sanjana. I graduated from Michigan State University in 2023 with a degree in Human Biology. I have been tutoring students in my neighborhood and through the Varsity Tutors platform for the past 4 years, covering a range of subjects from elementary to high school, with a focus on math. I also have experience tutoring for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, and I specialize in STEM subjects such as chemistry and biology. I love teaching and strive to be creative in my methods to ensure that each student understands the concepts in the best way possible. One approach I often use is incorporating real-world examples, which helps students see how the material applies to everyday life. When it comes to elementary reading and writing, I aim to make the content engaging and tailored to each student's interests, helping them become more motivated to read and write.

I am currently attending University of Wisconsin Madison, and expect to have a B.S. in neurobiology in 2024. I am most passionate about science, math, and literature. I believe education is always opportunity to grow in life, and seeking help to better understand educational concepts is a great way to boost confidence and strengthen the understanding of topics. I know different people have different learning methods, and I would tutor according to whichever method fits best for the student. There is nothing better than watching someone have an "ah ha!" moment! I look forward to working with new students.

As a dedicated tutor with over 4 years of experience teaching students of different ages in Kumon, I am passionate about helping students excel in subjects such as Algebra, Anatomy & Physiology, and AP Biology, as well as the SAT.
