Award-Winning Science Tutors serving Santa Barbara, CA

In 2014 I graduated from Johns Hopkins University as a Public Health major with a concentration in Immunology and Infectious Diseases. I then went on to complete a Masters program at Georgetown University in human physiology. Given the amount of schooling I have gone through myself, I have taken a wide range of subjects and more standardized tests than I would like to admit. I have taught students of almost every age in various fields...

I am a currently a high school mathematics teacher. I graduated from the University of Richmond majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing Analytics and a minor in Mathematics. I have worked with kids of all ages, ranging from elementary school to college students through various subjects. I have also worked extensively with special needs children, doing everything from teaching special education to one-on-one in-home mentoring. Through my experiences, I have continued to...

I recently finished my M.S. in Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University. I am staying in the Chicago area because I truly love the city and envision staying here for a long time. As a tutor, I have had students ranging from sophomores in high school to adults transitioning into a new career. My Engineering curriculum at Northwestern was heavily centered around Math, Chemistry, Biology and Physics, so I can work with a student on more...

Some people can naturally figure things out without a lot of explanation. In most things, I'm not that guy! Like many students, understanding comes with repetition of principles and hard work. I have the perspective of a student trying to understand, not a teacher trying to preach. I love working with people from the ground up; we start at the comfort zone and work our way to improvement. I know I don't know everything, so...

...attended school. I'm a graduate of the Ohio State University (and an avid Buckeyes fan) where I received a B.A. in Philosophy with a pair of minors in German Language and Music Composition. Upon graduating from OSU I worked for a local environmental nonprofit which focused on alternative fuels for the transportation industry. In the near future I hope to attend graduate school to study Public Policy and Affairs, with a goal of continuing my...

Hi, my name is Tim Sherry and I am one of many Varsity Tutors. I attended Jesuit High School in Carmichael, CA where I graduated with a 4.3 GPA taking multiple AP and honors courses (AP Bio, Chem, Physics B, Gov, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, English Lit, and English Lang). I also participated in several tutoring organizations throughout high school. I then attended UCLA for my undergrad degree in Political Science (Class of 2014) while also completing...

This year, I graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a bachelor???s degree in Chemical Engineering and a concentration in Biomolecular Engineering. I held a wide range of tutoring positions during my undergraduate experience including: an English Literacy tutor for grammar school students, an SAT Math instructor, and a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) tutor for college students. I believe my strongest subject to tutor is Standardized Test Prep (SAT, ACT, and GRE)....

I believe that anything can seem easy if it's presented in the right way, at the right pace. If I can make a student interested in a topic and engage with their learning style, learning happens much faster and more effectively, and doesn't feel like work. I endeavor to interest students in any topic (but especially math) by giving them a sense of a larger context. In particular, I love to...

...topics understandable. My favorite area is standardized testing. I love the look on a student's face when they realize that they don't have to be nervous about an exam - that it can actually be really fun if the questions are viewed as the simple patterns they really are. In my free time, I love watching movies, reading, swimming, and exploring the city. I also play in a weekly ice hockey league and lately have...

I recently finished up my Post-Bacc Pre Med Program this past Spring and am looking to offer help in science courses from middle school to college level. I graduated from Boston College in 2009 and have worked at the neuroscience and psychiatry labs at Yale and Cornell. I enjoy working with people and wish to one day specialize in geriatrics. I have taught chess and English to young children and tutored children from foster care...
