...a nonprofit for a year before entering the public sector in marketing at a media agency. Since returning from Thailand, I have really missed teaching. I get tremendous satisfaction out of knowing that I am helping people learn and grow and succeed -- I decided to join Varsity Tutors to re-inject that joy into my life. I have excelled on standardized tests and would love to use my experience to help others do the same....

...but also to help them understand how to learn, study, and teach themselves things that they are having trouble with. This is something I struggled with throughout my academic career, and only through years of practice was I able to figure out new tricks and methods for teaching myself new material.

...as part of its Social Outreach Committee. This work involves teaching a weekly course called "Fundamentals of Leadership" to a class of middle school students. Overall, I have found my experiences tutoring math to be the most rewarding. In all of these experiences, I have found it is helpful for students to work with someone relatively close to their own age. As someone who enjoys problem-solving for its own sake, I often find myself in the...

...consider myself a test guru, with a 770 GMAT and perfect scores my first tries on the SAT and PSAT. I enjoy tutoring because I love working with students and seeing other people reach their goals.

Besides spending time tutoring, I love to play squash and go running....

...their knowledge for personal enrichment, or gain some extra practice with the basics, I will always give them my best. What this means is that all of my students get a personalized approach to their learning, based on individual needs and goals. When standardized textbooks and other preparatory materials apply, I use those - when they don't, I don't, and create my own materials instead. I listen carefully to my students and work hard at...

...my experience assisting students in test preparation. In my experience, students first approach tests in an ad hoc fashion, and often with a fair bit of trepidation and hesitancy. I find it tremendously satisfying to help students conquer those initial hurdles and gain a feeling of mastery and confidence. I am patient, and I encourage my students to be patient as well. I also help students faceand in so doing, conquertheir fear of failure. We...

...so that YOU understand it properly. And perhaps I can convince you that the subject matter is something you like! It was a pleasure when my previous students acknowledged my influence in their honors theses or doctoral dissertations, and I hope that I can similarly help you in your learning process at whatever schooling level you are at. Please contact me to schedule a tutoring session in any of the subjects listed in my profile,...

...Italian and Spanish. I am passionate about helping students reach their highest potential. Seeing the transformation in a student's attitude when they finally begin to understand a subject is the most rewarding feeling, and I hope to help as many people as I can to feel confident in whatever problem or question is thrown at them. I have a deep love for dancing stemmed in me since I was a kid, and in my spare...

As a former Managing Editor for a tech company, I understand how vital reading and writing are as a basis for other studies. And as a former history major, I know the importance of building analytical skills, and how a strong analytical mind can lead to progress and success in a multitude of subjects. I loved...

I look forward to helping students discover the principles of my chosen field--specifically, in molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, or general biology. I'm also proficient in writing and speaking English, and I am passionate about communicating with appropriate style, grammar, and tone. I'm happy to tutor in areas related to written and spoken English, in general, for adult learners, and in scientific technical...

...multiple full-time positions, so I am extremely comfortable working with children and equally qualified to do so. I'm just a people person through and through, so it goes without saying that I'm happy to work with elementary schoolers, middle schoolers, high schoolers, and adults just the same. I myself am a writer and an avid reader, always excelling at liberal arts subjects in my education thus far. I can help teach and refine skills in...

...a Computer concentration. As of now, I am looking to tutor only the Math section of the SAT. I personally am inclined to STEM subjects. Additionally, I took the SAT twice, and can relate to the stress students feel about the test. I hope that through tutoring I can help students understand the material on the SAT and become familiar with the format of the test, instead of just memorizing answers. I know that junior...

Next, at University of Michigan, I was a Graduate Student Instructor (GSI) for Women's Studies and Psychology. Most recently, I was a math teacher at Esperanza Prep Academy and Independence High School in NYC. Last but certainly not least, I...

...in mathematics. The areas within mathematics that I help students out with go from high school algebra, up to integral calculus (or Calculus II, if you prefer). My philosophy when it comes to helping students learn is that it is always, and I mean always, about the students. It is our duty as tutors, teachers, and other kinds of instructors to always ensure a comfortable learning environment for our students and other people who look...

...to tailor my lessons to the student; if relatable examples seem to work better, we'll emphasize those, while if detailed analysis or derivations seem to work better, we'll go all in on that. I think that's how personalized tutors are meant to function: we're here to enhance your learning by presenting the material in a way that you can understand, not by asking you to learn something the way that we did. (Also, sometimes seeing...
