George

Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects

I am a current student studying business at the Stern School of Business at New York University. I am originally from Delaware, not far from here. I have taken multiple AP courses, such as Statistics, Calculus, Economics, and Physics, so I am comfortable teaching a wide range of topics. My tutoring career started the summer after my junior year of high school. I worked at an after school tutoring facility specializing in math and reading. I worked one on one with students and graded their work, which ranged from elementary math to calculus.I believe in being patient with the kids I work with. Many learn at different paces, which is why they may fall behind in school. I try to connect what they are learning to school to something they can more easily understand: Teaching the same thing, but from a different angle. The trouble with some classes as well is the disconnect between the teaching and the participation. As a tutor I engage the kids I work with to make sure they are understanding the concepts. Working one on one helps in this sense because I know specifically what they may be having trouble with.As a student myself, I know sometimes work seems overwhelming and impossible at times. Taking things slow, breaking down a problem, and seeing where the real problem lies is how I approach most of my problems and is how I will try and tutor my clients.

Admissions Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am a scientist turned non-traditional pre-med. I earned my Master's Degree in Biology from the University of Notre Dame in 2022, where I studied phenotypes of malaria genetic cross progeny. While working full-time in a public health laboratory, I conquered my MCAT exam and have gained 5 medical school acceptances in the current application cycle. Having received support from fellow tutors during my own journey, I find it deeply satisfying to help other pre-med students on the journey to their medical school acceptance.As part of my degree programs, I have taught several different science classes at the university level and worked as a tutor part-time. I also have experience in graduate program recruitment and interview coaching, so I am here to help you through your medical school journey at every step of the way. I look forward to working with you!

Kendall

ACT Prep Tutor • +46 Subjects

I graduated from Rice University in Houston, TX with a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality, and a minor in Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities. I was also pre-med and took all the prerequisite courses as well as the MCAT. Before college, I graduated from Hopkins School in New Haven, CT where I took a number of AP and honors classes and completed a senior project in creative writing.Because of my diverse academic background, I am able to tutor in a variety of subjects from middle school all the way up to introductory college courses. I especially enjoy helping students with math or English coursework. I can also help with a variety of standardized tests, from the SSAT to the MCAT. I am very interested in helping students overcome test anxiety by learning strategies that can help them stay calm and be efficient. In particular, I want to help students who struggle with timed essays - I myself had to learn ways to complete them successfully, and I hope I can pass on some of these skills.Outside of school, I enjoy volunteering, making music, and reading. I have volunteered in a number of healthcare environments and would love to talk to any student who is interested in healthcare or wants advice on what steps they can take now to get involved in medicine. Social justice, with a focus on gender equality, is also one of my passions. Finally, I have been involved in theater, choir, and a cappella in both high school and college.

American Literature Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a recent graduate from Northwestern University with a Bachelor of Arts in Gender & Sexuality Studies and a minor in United States History. I'm excited to join the Varsity Tutors team and begin tutoring students ranging from elementary to high school because I believe that a tailored, inspiring approach unlocks potential that students may not even realize they possess. In the current remote-learning environment, it's harder than ever to fully grasp course material I'm here to fill in these gaps and ensure students don't miss out on critical foundations or future opportunities.I have teaching experience from tutoring while in high school and working as an Outdoor Educator a few years ago, but I believe that what really allows me to connect and engage with students is my experience from actually being a student and tutee. I find that a personalized approach based on communication and individual learning style empowers students to not only improve in one specific class, but thrive in future endeavors. In one word, my tutoring style is collaborative: I tailor my approach to engage each student and create long-lasting confidence in the material and themself. I've also worked with students with ADHD and mood disorders, so I understand the importance of designing tutoring sessions around each student's unique needs in creating a productive learning atmosphere.Outside of academia, I enjoy reading, spending time with friends, and listening to music. My favorite way to spend an afternoon is walking along the lakefront with my dog, Jude (weather permitting!). I hope to speak with you soon!

Jenn

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +21 Subjects

I tried my hardest not to become a teacher. My mom was a teacher, my godmother was a teacher, and both grandmothers were teachers. However, it is clearly in my blood because here I am 20 years after graduating with a bachelor's and master's in education! I love teaching. I love to see the ah-ha moment on a student's face. I don't really have a favorite subject to teach because the subject isn't what makes teaching fun. It is the students. I have been teaching and tutoring for over 20 years including teaching in Central America. I believe all students can learn and pride myself on being able to find the right method to help each student succeed!
