Gloria

Admissions Tutor • +24 Subjects

I did my undergraduate and doctoral training in Boston, at Wellesley College and Tufts University respectively. I have a BA in Latin American Studies and a PhD in Food Policy and Applied Nutrition.My mother tongue is Spanish; I am also fluent in Italian; and have extensive advanced fluency in French and German. I picked up my language skills while working and traveling to over 65 countries. My extensive linguistics knowledge coupled with my teaching experience allows me to help students struggling with learning Spanish; or writing college essays, term papers, dissertations or articles for publication; or organization skills to improve academic performance. Because of my varied travel experience I find it easy to adjust to students experiences and learning gaps in order to show them how to utilize the knowledge they already have and build on that knowledge in order to attain greater skills.

Garrick

ACT Math Tutor • +17 Subjects

I struggled with math all through high school before calculus. At that point something clicked. I learned to love it, and while I majored in Biochemistry at first, I kept taking math courses because I had a real passion for learning about mathematics. Eventually, I changed my major to math and began tutoring Calculus II at my university. Now I manage Calculus I and II tutors, but to keep my skills fresh, I am tutoring through Varsity. Hopefully my love for math and calculus shows, and I hope you learn to love it too!

I have taught World Literature, American Literature, IB 9th Composition, IB American Literature, and IB 11th World Literature, so I am experienced in working with students of various skill levels. My personal philosophy is that when we can make connections between content, the real world, and our personal interests, we are more apt to grasp information. That said, I hope to understand what speaks to you as an individual and then incorporate that knowledge into our tutoring sessions for maximum success. I look forward to working with you.

Ilina

Algebra Tutor • +15 Subjects

I believe that understanding core basics of any subject is extremely important in understanding the subject. Therefore, while tutoring I like to keep things simple by explaining my students the concept behind any question and how to tackle it. Hence, providing them with the mindset in answering future questions all by themselves. Even though I tutor people, I honestly believe that everyone is learning from each other. Knowing that students whom I teach can go ahead in their lives with confidence to answer questions that they once struggled with makes me extremely proud of them. That is what motivates me to tutor more and more students and see them succeed with their lives and careers.

Benjamin

AP Macroeconomics Tutor • +24 Subjects

With a background in banking and financial risk management, I have worked in the US, Asia and Europe, as an analyst and a consultant. There are a wide range of subject matters I am interested in: finance, economics, business writing (I published a number of analyst reports), and science (my dream was to become a physicist). I am passionate about tutoring because I want to share my interest in these subjects, and I will break them down so that it will be easy for my students to understand. I have had ample tutoring/teaching experience (including GMAT preparation and Mandarin workshops) and as a consultant, conducted numerous seminars. Simply put, I enjoyed it, so did my students.
