Hi! I'm a Long Island, NY based nonprofit development and communications professional with a B.A. in Sociology and Communication Studies from SUNY New Paltz. I'm passionate about english language studies, social sciences, and history. I worked as a peer tutor throughout college and look forward to helping middle school, high school, and college students learn with an individualized, real world approach.

...each student using methods that work best for them. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, playing video games, reading, cooking, and going on relaxing walks. Helping others is what drives me. I like tutoring many topics, but really love math and science. To me, education is what enables us to take control of our lives. Critical thinking is useful not only in school, but in solving real-life difficulties. That is why I always...

...started tutoring when I was in the sixth grade, and I now work with students from grades six through college. I also teach SAT and ACT preparation courses. While my favorite subject to teach is Social Studies, my Math and English students have gone on to great success as well. I know that every student has a unique learning style and success is often a matter of finding the right motivation. When I'm not teaching,...

...students as a swim instructor in high school and I continued tutoring Math and English throughout college at an after-school program. I am most excited to teach students English and Science so they can learn to love the subjects as much as I do. I believe that no subject is too hard for any one student to learn and my goal is to be able to guide each student towards mastering their subject.

I am determined to help your student succeed! I have a Bachelor's degree in English Literature and experience tutoring in the areas of math, science, and test prep. I am qualified to tutor PSAT, SAT, ACT, AP, LSAT, and the GRE. I am extremely well-rounded and eager to help.... Every student should be treated on an individual basis because no two students learn exactly the same way.... I can ask the student questions to make sure...

..."professional" and "academic" qualities are certainly important, I think it's also necessary for you to understand more about me as a person. I consider myself a "nerd" and I am no longer self-conscious about it - it's who I am. I love school, but aside from that I enjoy reading and writing. To me, the smell of a bookstore is like that of a decadent chocolate cake to many others. Although throughout the school year...

I received my degree in psychology from Hofstra University in 2018, and I've worked as a tutor since June 2019 with students of all ages. I'm passionate about teaching the SAT and math in general; tutoring math has been one of the most rewarding experiences I've had. I'm looking forward to working with you to achieve your goals!

I believe that all students should be given the opportunities they deserve to advance in their education ... All students have the potential to learn; they need only find the right method.... Discuss their interests, what motivates them, and their goals. What do they want to get out of tutoring?... Guide them through questions without telling them the answer, gradually removing supports with each practice until they are able to complete the task on their own.

...passion of mine, both academically and professionally. As a bilingual writer for the State Department and two publishing companies, I've learned effective writing skills I love to share with students. I believe that each individual learns differently, so I tailor my teaching strategies to every student's needs. Seeing students overcome challenges and meet their goals is always the highlight of my day. When I'm not tutoring, I'm an avid film photographer and an enthusiastic yoga...

...Performance, Education, and Philosophy. I have been tutoring private music lessons and academic subjects for over 5 years now, and I work as a substitute teacher across Connecticut. My favorite subjects to tutor are Music, English, and Reading/Writing Skills, but I am capable of tutoring various Historical subjects, Math, and Science as well. As a teacher, I choose to construct my lessons so that they are student centered. Each of us learns differently, and we...

As an English and SAT Prep teacher at an urban high school, I've worked with students ranging from a first-grade reading level to a college-level. My goal is always to bring all of these students to the same level so that they can have the same opportunity for success. Any student can learn when you give them a chance. My inclination for intense differentiation allows me to work with students of any ability and push...

...to be working with Varsity Tutors! Understanding a subject boils down to understanding its basic components, and my philosophy is if you master the basics, no question can be too difficult for you. I can tutor a wide variety of subjects, but I'm most equipped to prepare students for their SAT's (math, critical reading, and writing) alongside teaching History, Economics, and English, both at the general and AP levels. In my free time, I enjoy...

Hi! I am a sophomore at Stony Brook University pursuing a Chemical Engineering Major. Aside from school, I am involved with the Ultimate Frisbee team here.

...Brook University. With a strong background in literature, composition, and teaching methods, I believe that I am prepared for the dynamic and exciting challenges of tutoring students for their English classes. Through my coursework, I have designed lesson plans based on the Common Core State Standards.

I have been tutoring SAT/ACT/AP exams for the past year and have a total of 3 years experience tutoring at an elementary-high school level. In my free time I love to travel, surf and rock climb.

...HomeWorks, an after-school boarding program for public high-school students in Trenton, NJ. In my travels and extensive studies, I can honestly say nothing brings me as much joy as teaching children and students to find their voice, cultivate curiosity and develop as emerging writers and thinkers. When I consider the challenges and joys of teaching young students writing, it is most near to the process of producing a photograph from a roll film by hand....

...life, and why you want to learn it. If I have to brush up on my AP Chemistry as an excuse to explain why dimensional analysis is actually the most useful math you'll ever learn, I find it thrilling, not a chore. That's really my whole paradigm, as a tutor. Every subject has a relation to both everyday life, and to the coolest parts of the collective achievements of humanity. Learning not just what Pi...

...of your educational needs, to identify study & learning techniques that work best for you, and to help you achieve your goals! I believe the tutor and student are partners, and that this collaboration, with a continuous and honest dialogue, can surely lead to success. I have a strong background in Biology and EMT licensure training (NREMT, CT or NY), and am also glad to assist with several other topics including, and not limited to,...

...is rather anti-climatic. There was no inspired epiphany, when all the lights suddenly go on. It was more like turning the lights on in an empty gym, when the lights go on one by one and it takes a while for them to get bright. The lights so slowly get brighter and you don't even really notice it, they're just... on. There is no short cut, no revelatory moment. Everything is a process. Learning is...

...how much I love teaching and getting to know my students. Teaching has always been a rewarding experience for me and I am grateful that I have the ability to provide not only knowledge, but also support and inspiration as a mentor and a friend; I believe that students and tutors alike can learn and continue to grow in a positive manner through such experience.
