Michael
AP Statistics Tutor • +63 Subjects
Though I'm now a few years removed from academia, I still consider myself an intellect at heart. Stints at New York University's Stern School of Business and Northwestern University have given me extensive scholastic training, and running my own private tutoring service throughout college as a means of making a living has helped me exercise and refine my skill set as a personal academic instructor. Partnering up with Varsity Tutors has provided me with a golden opportunity to continue helping students hone their own academic performance across a wide array of subjects, and my own tutoring background, coupled with my flexible schedule as a by-day real estate investor and independent business owner who possesses total control over his hours, puts me in a unique position to better accommodate the students I work with to ensure that they receive the attention and quality service they deserve.
Linford
PSAT Writing Skills Tutor • +49 Subjects
I am a committed mentor and scholar passionate about enabling students to meet and exceed their learning goals. With Masters degrees from Northwestern and Yale, I have experience tutoring students from diverse backgrounds in Israel/Palestine and across the United States. My favorite subjects to tutor include any topic in Humanities, Social Studies, and Language Arts, especially History, Geography, Study Skills, and German. I also love to offer any kind of support/advising on the college application journey. I get satisfaction from seeing students connect deeply with themselves and their subjects while having fun in the process. In my free time I enjoy painting, reading, watching TV, and learning new languages.
Grishma
Middle School Math Tutor • +69 Subjects
I'm passionate about helping students because I've seen how meaningful support can turn uncertainty into confidence. I graduated in the top 10% of my high school class and completed a rigorous AP curriculum in subjects like Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Calculus BC, English, Economics, and Spanish. I really enjoyed learning from my teachers and know how transformative good teaching can be. I earned my undergraduate degree from Northwestern University, where I studied Neuroscience, Anthropology, and Global Health. Those disciplines deepened my appreciation for how people learn, think, and connect across different perspectives. I now am about to graduate medical school and enter residency later in the summer, but before I start off my busy career as a doctor, I'm looking to make some money so I can travel and tackle bucket list items that I've not had a chance to do yet. Throughout college and medical school, I've tutored students of varying ages and backgrounds in subjects including biology, chemistry, math, and writing, as well as standardized test preparation. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology and biochemistry because I enjoy helping students see the logic and beauty behind how living systems work. My teaching philosophy centers on patience, adaptability, and curiosity. I approach each session as a collaboration, tailoring lessons to each student's needs and helping them build problem-solving skills rather than rely on rote memorization. Outside of academics, I'm passionate about photography and travelboth of which keep me creative, observant, and open-minded, qualities I bring into every tutoring interaction.

Stella
Middle School Math Tutor • +75 Subjects
I'm a current PhD student in the history department at Georgetown University who is also an experienced instructor with Varsity Tutors. As a recipient of several degrees, the most recent being a BA in history from Hillsdale College and a MA in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies from Stanford University, I have long sought to make teaching my profession. Meanwhile, as a volunteer grade school teacher and a tutor with this company, I have many years' experience helping students reach their full potential. I am capable of teaching students in many subjects, including reading, mathematics, test prep, Latin, and especially writing, history, and literature. In practice, I am comfortable adapting to different learning styles and specific student preferences. Outside of my academic and career endeavors, I enjoy cooking, reading, and listening to and making music.
Martin
SAT Reading Tutor • +46 Subjects
I have been teaching 18- to 22-year-old students at the college level since 1995. I love imparting to them my own passion for the English language and its literary heritage, from Chaucer through our best 21st-century writers. I am particularly absorbed by the history of fiction, drama, and poetry in English, and I hope to continue to teach such love of the written word to curious students today.
Elias
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +99 Subjects
I am attending the University of Pennsylvania where I am majoring in Bioengineering on the premed track, with my goal after graduation to become an orthopedic surgeon. My passion for tutoring stems from a genuine love for helping people discover their strengths and succeed in their learning journey, much like guiding a friend through a challenging but rewarding adventure. My teaching philosophy centers on adaptability and personalized instruction, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs of my students. As a tutor, I find immense joy in helping students navigate the field of STEM, while also sharing my enthusiasm for French and Arabic languages. Beyond academia, I am an avid explorer of the world, and I relish the beauty of cultural diversity. In my free time, I enjoy immersing myself in outdoor adventures, savoring diverse cuisines, and partaking in various athletic activities.

I am a Master of Divinity student at Princeton Theological Seminary. I graduated Harvard College in 2016 and was a peer tutor at Harvard. Before Divinity School, I taught high school and middle school debate and was an SAT/ACT tutor in Birmingham, Alabama. I then taught middle school debate at Success Academy in Harlem and served as a healthcare advocate. I have extensive experience tutoring English, math, science, and SAT/ACT at the middle school through college level. I have tutored students who went on to be accepted into Ivy League universities. I also am highly skilled at working with students with learning differences such as ADHD, autism, and dyslexia as well as students from under-resourced communities. I look forward to helping your student not only excel but also enjoy learning!
