...get them invested in their work. In addition to guiding students towards a clearer understanding of material, I simultaneously work to impart the importance of non-cognitive skills. Patience, grit, and determination are integral to student success and I work daily to inspire my students to be proactive, take risks, collaborate with others, set goals, and seek excellence for themselves and invest in their futures. As teachers, we can't ask our students to love Shakespeare or...

...happens in academics, especially in one-on-one tutoring. I worked as a writing tutor in college. For me, as many intellectually stimulating moments took place in my cramped little office as happened around the seminar table in my own classes.

Many of us interpret a string of frustrating papers, or bad grades on tests, as...

...I have also dabbled in the field of English, receiving a Bachelors and Masters Degree in English Literature (also from the University at Buffalo).

It is something that I enjoy, and am deeply passionate about. I believe that education should be as fun as it...

I have been an educator for almost half of my life. I believe in education and the power of learning and knowledge. I am a life-long learner and enjoy learning and helping others to learn and grow.

...that education is a highly individualized endeavor. To that end, I will work with my students to create a plan specific to their goal. Whether that be working together for a short time to pass an exam, or for a longer period to gain extra help in a course, I believe that every learning opportunity should leave you with something you can apply in your future. I also hope to make the experience enjoyable too!

As an experienced tutor and teacher with a Ph.D. in English, my ultimate goal has always been for students to read and use written language not only as a way of demonstrating knowledge, but as a means for acquiring knowledge. I encourage students to use language to structure their thinking in ways that will ensure success in whatever course, exam, or extracurricular goal they hope to achieve.

Hi, my name is Naomi, and I am happy to tutor for Varsity Tutors. I study English literature and philosophy, so reading and writing are my strongest suits, but I am glad to help in any of my listed subjects.

Hi. I'm Pat and I would be happy to help you meet your academic goals. Whether you're interested in brushing up your skills or in an entire overhaul, I can provide the support and practice you need.

"Of high ideals and virtue was her speech, and gladly would she learn and gladly teach." - Chaucer Learning Math, Physics, Astronomy, Computer Science is challenging, useful, and can be fun.

...passion, and I was at that point early in college. I believe that any student can be inspired to succeed once they understand their strengths and how to use them. My primary goal as a tutor is not just to deliver results in grades, it is to help a student become confident in their abilities and to understand the material. The grades will follow, hopefully along with a lifelong love of learning.

...on their own, I know they've mastered the concept. I'm also a great listener; if you tell me that you are having a problem in a certain area of a subject, I can very much tailor the lesson and practice problems to the target area. Outside of school, I spend a lot of my time submerged in water! I love windsurfing, scuba diving, and going to the beach. I'm also a huge, huge fan of...

...Binghamton University, but soon realized that I wanted to teach full-time rather than pursue a career in academia. I realized that the most important aspect of my work was teaching and making meaningful connections between students and history, so I decided to pursue a career as a high-school social studies teacher.

And, as a writer, I have the empathy to understand the type, extent...

...and to pursue a career in Medical Physics. My favorite subjects to teach and tutor are all levels of algebra, calculus, physics, and biology. Patience, communication, and empathy are central to my teaching philosophy and are key skills for any successful teacher, and with the right toolkit, anyone can learn and master a subject. I believe students tend to find these technical subjects difficult due to simple misunderstandings and gaps, or due to a lack...

...tools to develop one's own ideas or express oneself. Whether developed for the purpose of creative writing, technical and business writing, or test score improvement, these tools improve a student's ability to engage with the world. That includes everything from acing tests and achieving academic success to understanding why a song's lyrics are catchy (or not). Good writing often appears so natural that it creates an illusion of flowing seamlessly from the author. When we...
