...and Psychology. I am now a first-year pharmacy student at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS) University, and I am currently working toward my Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree. During college, I was a teaching assistant for the introductory psychology course, and I have tutored English to students of all ages, mostly high school students. I tutor English, Biology, and Psychology (with a possibility of tutoring SAT Critical Reading and Writing). I...

I'm a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University. I received my B.S. in Biological Sciences with a minor in Biomedical Engineering. Personally, I like tutoring STEM subjects such as math, biology, and chemistry the most. I love seeing my students gain confidence in their subject areas and grow over time. Outside of academia, I enjoy cooking, exercising, reading, and spending time with my dog.

...at Harvard University studying government and economics. I'm very excited to be tutoring for Varsity Tutors because I received tutoring for standardized tests on the website when I was applying to colleges a few years ago, and I'm excited to continue the tradition of excellence and to help everyone do well and achieve what they are aiming to do! I am the oldest of four children so my tutoring experience started by helping my siblings...

I have been teaching for 5 years and enjoy helping students one-on-one with a variety of subjects. I want to not only assist with their educational achievements, but also to foster their self confidence.

...English I never knew expected to take me so far. Seeing how powerful the English language is, being able to convey thoughts, made me want to take my skill and share it with others. The additional TESOL qualification moulds a course that is perfect for my ambition; to teach English to those who requires the full understanding of the language. For the past three years I've worked in Vietnam in the country's largest English Center,...

English is a difficult, confusing language to master. Between hard-to-look-at spelling rules and nonsensical grammar rules, mastering the language can be a real pain. As an aspiring English teacher currently studying at Wheaton College in Massachusetts, helping you through that pain is what I like to do, and something I'm excited to lend a hand for.

...Spanish. I am currently working toward my M.S. in Medical Sciences at Boston University School of Medicine. In college, I worked with a high school student, for his 9th grade year, focusing mostly on his biology and writing assignments. I was a research coordinator at the Marcus Autism center where I worked with very young kids (ages 2-9) with and without learning disabilities. We worked on general school-related skills and any homework they brought. In...

...my district’s SAT prep course (which I designed the curricula for). I take a collaborative approach to teaching, and both in the classroom and one-on-one, I believe that the best way for a student to learn material is to move beyond recall and work toward synthesis and analysis for complete understanding. When I’m not teaching or tutoring, I love to read history books (especially those about Robert Kennedy), run (long distances – in all types...

...cousins, neighbors etc. It soon became a regular practice to sit with my younger sibling to check his homework assignments and prepare him for his examinations. When in college, teaching became my profession. I started to teach kids from K-10. It soon gave me purpose to continue my journey of gaining knowledge. I taught middle school subjects like mathematics and science including physics, chemistry and biology while I myself was studying economics, mathematics and statistics....

...I am an experienced educator, having peer-tutored students at Harvard and had many private music students over the years of all ages and levels. As an English major, I wrote many papers and edited those of my peers. I believe the best teachers help students use their own intuitions and reasoning to discover knowledge or arrive at conclusions. I have broad knowledge in the humanities, including two master's degrees in music (composition and performance) from...

...Management. I was a wildland firefighter during the summers in college, but then decided to go to medical school, and I am currently a second year medical student at Tufts University. I was a tutor for fpur years at Brigham Young University, and I love helping people learn! I tutor Economics, Math and all the basic sciences. I really enjoy tutoring these subjects because my students and I work together to understand the principles underlying...

...the place geographically and temporally, but I did the most work in medieval Europe and the Near East. Since graduation, I've lived in the Bay Area, Philadelphia, and now in Boston. I've tutored at every stop, principally in standardized test prep. I also tutored my fellow history undergrads at Harvard, and juvenile offenders in Boston, so I've seen a fairly wide range of students. I can and do tutor a very broad range of subjects,...

...my undergraduate degree at Texas A&M in public health. This is where I discovered my love for tutoring when I was a tutor for the athletics department. I tutor many subjects, including math, science, and writing (my personal favorite). I have been on both sides of being a tutor and tutoring, so I feel I can help students achieve their goals and tap into their fullest potential. I cook, read, work out, or explore my...

I am a recent graduate of the University of Virginia and majored in Public Policy and Spanish. This past year, I worked as an AmeriCorps member with high school English Language Learner students, ages 14-19 and focused specifically with them on Algebra and reading, writing, and conversation skills in English. Outside of working with students, I love to read, hike around New England, and go on runs. I love working with kids of all ages...

...and Political Science with a minor in Computer Science. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about teaching math, economics, and the SAT. I love the process of walking a student through a problem as the logic behind it slowly starts to unfold and they finally achieve that "AHA" moment. I have tutored students of all ages from elementary school to college, but I believe the skills and techniques I...

...world of learning a little easier and lot more fun for students of all ages. I am an avid reader and love to enhance the lives of students of all abilities through the power of literacy. As a lifelong learner and avid believer in empowering students with strategies and insight into different ways of learning things that they can truly master and incorporate them into their daily lives. I have tutored a wide array of...

...particularly chemistry. Despite my love for these subjects, they have not come easily to me always. I know that Chemistry can have a particularly sharp learning curve for students and I worked through that myself, developing study and problem solving techniques that eventually led me to score a 5 on the AP Chemistry exam. History also requires a lot of time and effort, especially with memorization, synthesis, and learning how to craft an argument for...

...book for pleasure in a library corner, we are engaging with the words and ideas of others and measuring them for their value, use and relevance. Thinking is never done in total isolation anyway but rather is always a social exercise and activity. The best teaching and learning then, I think, allows us to consider knowledge, from the most practical to the most abstract, as both social exercise and activity. This means, as exercise, that...

...test-taking strategies and content skills. Applying for college in general is a game. You must build a profile similarly to how you build your Facebook profile. Your college application "profile" is your opportunity to show colleges how awesome you are with the aim of compelling them to send you a friend request. It would be my pleasure to work with you on test prep; including SAT, SAT II Latin, SAT II German, AP English, ACT,...
