...have excelled in mathematics. I am currently majoring in mathematics, while on scholarship at Bucknell University.While I am relatively new to the Varsity Tutors platform, teaching and helping others is nothing new to me.

Immediately after, I will ask a student to do a problem with me, so the (s)he can participate in the discussion and slowly build confidence and comprehension. If I feel a student is ready to do a problem independently, I will give a problem for independent practice. If (s)he...

I've been tutoring for 5 years now and it's one of the most rewarding things I've ever been given the opportunity to do! I believe that tutoring is a back and forth system. 50% me, 50% you. And with a little touch of fun, that's how we'll get the 100%. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy traveling and photography. In addition to that, I am a psychology and marketing major in college.

I work in human resources/recruiting, but I also love working with students. I completed an elementary education certification program in college, and I love helping children understand math and increase their literacy skills. I am comfortable tutoring a variety of subjects. In my spare time, I like going for runs, doing (and teaching) Zumba dance fitness, and doing crafty projects.

...Engineering from Brooklyn Technical High School. I have taught students in private and group sessions. I currently tutor students from K-8th grade in Math, English, Social Studies, and Science. I enjoy teaching Math the most because it allows me to practice my teaching style, teach by doing examples and writing formulas down.

...school. Also I'm a published writer and have been thanked for my contributions to three award-winning books. My results: Most recently, a student I worked with credited me with helping her get a 98 on the English Regents.

...writer. I have been tutoring since I was in high school, and I find it very rewarding to watch my students improve through our work.

I tutor for high school admissions tests, the SAT, ACT, math, writing, and French.

...I believe the most satisfying times are the moments when students realize they are now confident in their abilities to tackle new problems.

...Math, English, Spanish, and Statistics. I also enjoy helping students to improve their writing. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for standardized Tests, such as the SHSAT, SAT, and GRE, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) prepping for the writing, ELA, and math portions of the exams. As a trained sociologist I also look forward to helping students learn more about the world and the impact that social striations...
