Award-Winning Social Studies Tutors serving Raleigh-Durham, NC

...Spanish, Russian, Reading, Writing (and Composition), and Statistics. Having struggled with learning in a traditional classroom environment myself, I had to adapt and find methods of learning and study that made sense to me. As a tutor, I think it's critical to tailor my tutoring style to the specific needs of the student to best aide in their learning and educational growth. I believe in creating an open, welcoming, and engaging tutoring environment.

I recently graduated from Grinnell College with a degree in Anthropology. As a tutor, I've worked with students of all ages, from elementary schoolers learning to read to adults preparing for the GED.

I am currently a senior at Duke University where I will major in History and Philosophy and minor in Computer Science. I enjoy tutoring all subjects, but my favorite things to tutor are history, math, writing, and standardized tests. In my free time, I enjoy practicing/playing soccer and relaxing with my friends on campus. I strive to help others maximize their academic potential so that they may fulfill their academic endeavors.

...English, my rigorous academic track at Duke have also fully prepared me to tutor chemistry, organic I, biology, and beginner-intermediate Spanish, as well as various subjects that pertain to my major, such as cultural anthropology and global studies. I know just how important standardized test scores, GPA, and college apps are, and I love helping students unlock their potential and get the scores they need. Please contact me if you have any questions at all....

...Bachelorette when I'm at a low point. Beyond personal interests, tutoring has always been a side project of mine. Even since middle school, at a local elementary school, I would help tutor students in basic arithmetic and spelling. In high school, while the curriculum changed from multiplication tables to Calculus, the idea was still the same: help as many people reach their full potential as possible. Now, through Varsity Tutors, I can help continue helping...

...an educational farm and my positions as an ESL instructor in Chile and for migrant farmers in Ohio. I studied Neuroscience and History in undergrad and enjoyed my job as a lab assistant for General Chemistry.

I believe that every learner absorbs knowledge differently and I strive to be a dynamic and interactive tutor that uses...

My name is Samantha and I am a sophomore at Duke University. I have experience in tutoring peers throughout high school and middle school in the areas of math, science, and language.

...want to be able to help others achieve their goals without academics being a huge hurdle. I have a broad set of interests but, most of them tend to be on the geekier side. For instance, I love playing video games, Dungeons and Dragons and board games with my friends. I also play tennis and soccer regularly and played soccer with an intramural team last year. Otherwise, I love to read for fun, in addition...

...ACT. I have also tutored students from ages 5-17. My teaching philosophy entails a lot of practice and self-discovery. From my own experiences with challenging subjects, I know that going the extra mile by doing more practice problems than are actually assigned or watching videos on certain concepts helps reinforcement and allows students to thrive in the classroom. As a tutor, I like to guide students in the correct direction and help them gain footing...

...college courses and gained experience in professional research manuscript writing. I prefer tutoring math (of any level) as I really enjoy seeing and better understanding how the world works through numbers. When I teach, I enjoy drawing real world connections and giving tangible examples of abstract ideas. I am an optimistic, energetic motivator who believes anyone can achieve anything he/she puts his/her mind to. Outside of academia, I am very active and love the outdoors....

I am a student and a researcher with a lifelong passion for teaching!

I am able to help in a wide variety of subjects including writing essays and resumes, all levels of math, test prep, and more. I choose to tutor because I appreciate all that my education has given me and hope to help others excel in their own education.

...but by the stories contained within. Those stories provided the backdrop to all of the great achievements of ancient civilizations as well as providing examples from which to learn what to do or what not to do. In teaching my own students, I focus on the same. To me, History is the story of the past, the people and places that made it what it was, not the rote memorization of facts, dates, names, and...

To me, the most important part of teaching and tutoring is to reach each student at his/her academic level...

...I think that my tutoring style is more hands on and going through the problem with the student. I will show them the way of answering the question then I let them do a different problem on their own and just guide them through it. Outside of tutoring I love to draw and take pictures. I love listening to music and drawing, as well as hanging out at the mall from time to time.

...live in the Triangle. I look forward to working with each and every one of you. It is important to find out from each student how they learn best. When it comes to history and social studies, learning different skills for interpretation of such things as political cartoons, maps, graphs and charts, primary source documents and such is important. How to write a well crafted essay is also necessary when dealing with the social sciences....

...hated by showing them their own innate ability to understand these subjects. I believe strongly that if a student can be shown why something is the case, he or she will be more successful at, and interested in, the subject as a whole. Helping students become "learning detectives," who get to the bottom of each topic they are learning, is one of my biggest passions. In my spare time, I love to pull out my...

...I tutor math up through Algebra 2, as well as ACT Science, Reading, and Writing, SAT Critical Reading, and Elementary and Middle School reading and writing. My favorite subject to tutor is ACT prep, because I like to see students scores on practice exams, and the actual exams, improve as we work together. My favorite part about tutoring overall is working with students and getting to see their excitement when they realize they've figured out...
