Marissa

Algebra Tutor • +18 Subjects

I am a recent college graduate with a degree in both Biomedical Engineering and Applied Mathematics. I worked for various departments as a tutor and Teacher's Assistant for mathematics and engineering courses starting in my sophomore year all the way through graduation. It was some of my most exciting times during my years there. For me, working with students is the most rewarding part, and I love seeing the moment a difficult concept clicks.When I tutor I adjust my teaching style to the student, and find various ways to relate the topics to real life. I'll often work with students to make sure they understand the basics or foundations of the concept or problem they are attempting and help them learn to think through and understand a process over pure memorization.

Ryan

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +45 Subjects

I am a Live Artist, critical writer, and poet. I hold a BA in English Writing with an emphasis on poetry from the University of Pittsburgh. In September 2014, I successfully completed an MA in Performance & Visual Practices from the University of Brighton, UK. From 2007-2013, I taught full time conversational English classes at a public middle school in Seoul, South Korea. While I am comfortable tutoring a range of subjects, I am most passionate about Critical & Cultural Theory, Creative & Critical Writing, Performance Studies, and Theatre. Any subjects or areas involving the arts and culture are of particular interest to me. Teaching is about sharing, so my personal style reflects my work and interests. I am a lifelong learner and view education as an opportunity through which to grow. In my free time, I love to read nonfiction, visit galleries, cook spicy Korean food for my friends, practice foreign languages, and travel.

Jason

Basic Computer Literacy Tutor • +14 Subjects

I am a passionate educator that enjoys learning and helping others learn. Providing individualized help in understanding challenging subject matter and helping you achieve your "light bulb" moments when things click is why I enjoy tutoring.I have a Bachelor's, Master's, and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, and I have been tutoring, teaching, and mentoring students in engineering for over 10 years. I have 3 years of experience teaching both in person and online courses at 2 different Top 100 undergraduate engineering universities. My passion subjects are thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mechanical design, and the FE exam, but I'm a quick learner and can provide guidance in other related subjects as needed.

Vella

College English Tutor • +11 Subjects

I graduated from New York University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish with a focus on Spanish and Latin American Literatures and Cultures. During my junior year I spent a semester abroad in Spain which sparked my love of travel. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I tutored junior high and high school students in various subjects but mostly in critical reading and writing. I particularly enjoyed helping students with essay writing because it was personally fulfilling to see their progress in a skill that has lifelong value and will have positive impact on all of their future endeavors. I also spent a year interning at the NYU Child and Family Policy Center where I worked with kids ages 2-7 who were participating in a school readiness home visitation program. This experience reinforced my belief in the importance of education and its power to improve children's self-esteem even children too young to have been enrolled in school. I am currently at Hunter College pursuing my Master of Arts in History with a focus on Latin America and completing a master's thesis on cultural reforms in post-revolutionary Cuba. I love learning about the past so I read a lot of history and look for hands on experience like participating in an archaeological dig in my native Bulgaria or doing archival research for my thesis. I am fascinated by languages, and I recently started studying German and Russian in addition to practicing my Spanish. In my spare time, I read, write, follow current events, watch movies, run, cook, and travel whenever I have the opportunity to do so.

Katherine

Algebra Tutor • +34 Subjects

I graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts. I received my Bachelors of Science in Computer Science. I was lucky enough to travel to San Fransisco, CA for a co-op before COVID-19 but, since then, I have found myself enjoying the city life of Boston, MA. I am passionate about STEM and introducing these subjects to students as early as possible. At first glance, STEM learning may seem intimidating, but early and consistent exposure is key to tackling it later on in students' learning careers. Outside of academia, I like exploring museums and pop-up exhibits. I have also found that a stroll around the neighborhood calms the busy mind and recommend it to anyone in need of a break.

Jacob

Algebra Tutor • +14 Subjects

During my time at The College of New Jersey, I have tutored many students in a variety of mathematical subjects and discovered a keen interest in it. I was there for two years and now have moved to Lehigh University where I will complete a MA in Mathematics in May. During my time here, I have been a teaching assistant for the various levels of calculus offered by the university and have had the opportunity of teaching students of all levels. Thus, it is obvious that my favorite subject to tutor is, in fact, calculus, but I am quite experienced in all other areas of mathematics as well. Since mathematics is such a conceptual subject, I find that by understanding misconceptions and errata, one might gain a better appreciation for the subject. Under this philosophy, I wish students to understand their errors fully, rather than simply being corrected when mistakes are made. Beyond the classroom, I enjoy playing table tennis, video games, and reading.

Mattias

ACT English Tutor • +21 Subjects

My name is Mattias and I recently graduated from Stanford University with a degree in Economics and in International Relations. I am currently working in a Bronx Public School as a teaching apprentice in Algebra. I have four years of experience tutoring one on one with students of all ages.I enjoy tutoring for the chance to develop personalized lessons for students founded on a trusting relationship rather than the transactional and memorization based education I felt I predominantly received growing up. I am energized most by the rare look in student's eyes when they finally cement the connection they have hovered on the edge of making. Watching the second grade students whose tutors I coordinated make those connections has made me consider teaching as a profession, and I hope by tutoring with Varsity I can continue my developing journey in the field of education.

Matt

AP English Literature and Composition Tutor • +31 Subjects

I graduated from Stony Brook University Cum Laude with a B.A. in History and French Language and Literature, focusing my History major on Modern European History. During my early college days I also spent time as a journalism student and spent time tutoring for the SAT writing section. These two experiences, along with my eventual alignment with French literature and history, developed my writing skills and made it one of my strongest and most comfortable subjects. History has been a lifelong love of mine and my energy and passion to teach is derived, in large part, from my fascination with mankind's past. I find that history has, for me, the most natural feel when it comes to teaching because the act thereof does not simply entail the recital of fact, but rather the recounting of a greater narrative within which the facts and specific events of the past may be found. Outside of academia, I am an avid reader, enjoying works in both French and English, and take joy in traveling, football, and various types of games, including those played with cards, boards, or on television screens.

CFP Tutor • +4 Subjects

I have a Bachelor's degree from Hofstra University and an MBA from Long Island University. I hold the CFP(Certified Financial Planner) and a ChFC(Charter Financial Consultant) designations. Since 2014 I have been an adjunct professor at Berkeley College in New York City teaching both onsite and online. I primarily teach the CFP courses but I have also taught undergraduate accounting and finance courses.I like helping students as the memory of struggling through a class is still fresh with me. Tutoring gives me the opportunity to reduce or eliminate that same feeling a student may have. As a college professor my approach has been to "be the professor I wish I had." More specifically, a professor who not only knows the material but is able to present it in a memorable way.In my spare time I am enjoy taking drum lessons (I am student too and tend to have a "hungry brain") and practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
