Jack's strongest science background is in physics — he tutors topics like kinematics, forces, energy, and circuits for middle and high school students. His math-heavy coursework at the University of Chicago means he's comfortable showing students how to set up equations from word problems and interpret what the numbers actually mean in a physical context.

Shauna's IT background means she's comfortable with the systematic, logical thinking that underpins good science — forming hypotheses, isolating variables, and troubleshooting when results don't match expectations. She's especially effective at teaching students how to approach lab work and scientific problem-solving the same way a programmer debugs code: step by step, testing one thing at a time. Rated 4.8 by students.

The trickiest part of general science for most students isn't the content — it's learning to read a diagram, interpret an experiment, or connect cause and effect across systems. Taylor breaks down skills like data analysis, hypothesis testing, and scientific vocabulary so students can tackle biology, earth science, or physical science units with more confidence. He approaches science as a reading-and-reasoning challenge, which pairs well with his strengths in English and writing.

Being a pre-med student at UT Dallas means Maria is neck-deep in biology, chemistry, and lab work every week, so the science she teaches is material she's actively using. She connects textbook concepts — cell processes, chemical reactions, energy transfer — to concrete examples that make them easier to recall on exams. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach lands with students.

Information systems coursework — database design, data modeling, statistical analysis — is essentially applied scientific thinking dressed in a tech stack, and Akshay draws on that training when teaching students to interpret data tables, identify patterns, and trace cause-and-effect in experimental setups. His Python skills also come in handy for students encountering data-driven science assignments where organizing and analyzing raw numbers is half the challenge.

A pre-med public health major, Amanda has spent serious time with both biology and chemistry and knows how to connect classroom science to real-world applications like disease transmission or chemical reactions in the body. She breaks down dense vocabulary and abstract concepts using memorable shorthand that keeps students from blanking during exams.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.

I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
