Charlie
Algebra Tutor • +14 Subjects
I was introduced to teaching while pursuing, and eventually completing, my Ph.D. in analytical chemistry. Teaching in a lecture setting was a largely impersonal process. I wanted to teach in a setting where the student was comfortable asking questions, which is not an easy task in a large classroom.Teaching for me has always been more rewarding when doing so in a one-on-one setting. In this scenario, I can easily tailor the lessons to the needs and pace of the student.Teaching with Varsity will allow me to teach the way I like to.

Jean
ACT Prep Tutor • +58 Subjects
I am a fourth year student at Harvard Medical School, and will start working as a pediatrician in July of 2016. However, if I had not decided to become a physician, I would have strongly considered becoming a teacher. Teaching is one of the most enjoyable activities I do, and I have taught in some capacity every year for the past ten years. I have taught subjects ranging from English to algebra, from physics to dance, and have taught students ranging in age from toddlers to adults. I have also provided advice on application essays, resumes, and interview strategies for Harvard College students applying to highly competitive scholarships. Each of these experiences has taught me how to communicate concepts in clear and engaging ways. For instance, while tutoring adolescents enrolled in the Boston-based Artists for Humanity program, I would often teach students whom I had never worked with before, and thus became adept at quickly discovering and implementing the strategies that worked best for a particular student (e.g., visual/tactile examples, analogies, and breaking down complex problems into smaller parts). While tutoring a janitorial staff member in preparation for the mathematics portion of her GED high school equivalency exam, I learned how to quickly identify the highest yield topics for a standardized exam and focus our efforts on those. Each of these experiences has been incredibly rewarding, and has inspired me to teach in some capacity throughout my career as a doctor.
John
ACT Math Tutor • +51 Subjects
As a student who is truly passionate about Math and Science, I seek to help others understand Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, etc, so that their foundation in the sciences is strong enough to take on more complex topics. I believe in letting my teaching style be dynamic in order to teach different students successfully.
Howe
ACT Prep Tutor • +27 Subjects
My name is Howe. I graduated from Wesleyan University in May, and I recently moved from New York to West Philly, where I am very excited to be working with Varsity Tutors. I love being able to work with students in a one-on-one setting; for students to truly grasp difficult concepts, they must be able to discuss the material freely with their teacher, which is rarely possible in a classroom setting. For writing especially, one-on-one tutoring is essential to developing one's skills. As a Varsity Tutor, I hope to not only strengthen students' writing and academic performance, but also make them feel more confident in their ability to learn.
Melissa
AP French Tutor • +39 Subjects
An African man once said "If you want people to understand you, speak their language." I am fluent in 3 and a half languages. The reason why I say 3 and a half instead of 4 it is because the fourth one is not practiced as much as I would love to. Born and raised in Haiti (Central America), I automatically grew up bilingual speaking both Haitian Creole and French. At the age of 8 I was already proficient in English, by the age of 12 I was introduced to Spanish. In 2007, my family decided to move to America due to political problems. Adjusting to the American culture took me some time, but I quickly understood it because I already spoke the language. Foreigners I encountered throughout my path in life were always eager to speak to me because I understood them in a way that others did not simply because I spoke their language. The power of understanding someone else's language is amazing and can build lifetime relationships. I am here today to help you speak my language so you can understand me and my culture better.
Rachel
Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects
I believe every student has the ability to learn and thrive. This belief drives my teaching. I have eight years experience tutoring full-time at the community college remedial level. I have also volunteered as a tutor for underprivileged middle school and high school students. I am comfortable tutoring those who are gifted as well as those with learning disabilities.I tutor a wide range of subjects, but am most passionate about Computer Science, Math, and Test Prep. These are all subjects in which a student can feel completely lost or stuck. In my experience, the small steps which can easily be gained in these subjects make a huge difference. The results are noticeable and applicable.I am a lifelong learner and am always reading/learning new things. I love theater, knitting, and technology. I am a graduate of Rowan University and Montclair State University earning a Bachelor of Arts in Theater Education and a Master of Arts in Theater Studies.

Anna
American Literature Tutor • +30 Subjects
My love for reading as a small child has developed into a life-long passion for language, literature, and education. Learning from educators who are not only well-versed in their subjects, but truly devoted to inspiring enthusiasm for learning in others, is what has led me to pursue tutoring myself. I have gained so much from my experiences teaching English as a foreign language to Italian students in Bologna, Italy and as a voluntary tutor for students from disadvantaged areas in Dublin, Ireland.What I enjoy most about tutoring is how it enables me to conceive of concepts and texts I'm familiar with in entirely new ways, through the perspectives of my students.In my spare time, I love to read (fiction, poetry, non-fiction, literary journals a bit of everything!) and I also write creatively. I love music of all kinds, particularly going to hear live music. I'm also a interested in film, travel, and walking outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many students try to memorize vocal anatomy structures without truly understanding how they work together. A personalized approach breaks this down by connecting structure to function—learning why the larynx is positioned where it is, how vocal fold vibration produces sound, and how the articulators shape that sound into speech. When you understand the "why" behind each anatomical feature, retention improves naturally and you can apply this knowledge to real problems like accent modification or voice disorders.
Acoustics involves abstract concepts—formants, spectrograms, resonance frequencies—that are hard to grasp from textbook diagrams alone. Expert tutors can use interactive tools, real speech recordings, and step-by-step explanations to help you visualize how sound waves behave in the vocal tract. By connecting theory to actual voice samples and hands-on analysis, you'll develop intuition for concepts like why certain frequencies matter for different speech sounds.
Speech Science relies heavily on experimental design—whether you're measuring voice quality, analyzing articulation patterns, or testing acoustic properties. Tutors help you understand how to formulate testable hypotheses, control variables, collect reliable data, and interpret results with proper statistical reasoning. This isn't just about following steps; it's about thinking like a scientist and understanding why certain experimental choices matter for reaching valid conclusions.
Phonetics focuses on the physical production and acoustic properties of sounds ("how we make sounds"), while phonology examines how sounds function within language systems ("how sounds create meaning"). Students often confuse these because they're interconnected. Personalized tutoring clarifies this distinction through examples—comparing how a phonetician measures vowel formants versus how a phonologist explains why two pronunciations sound like "the same sound" to a native speaker. Understanding both frameworks deepens your ability to analyze speech variations and disorders.
With personalized instruction, you'll develop both content mastery and scientific thinking skills specific to Speech Science. You can expect to build confidence with complex topics like laryngeal physiology and acoustic analysis, improve your ability to interpret spectrograms and research data, and strengthen your understanding of how theoretical concepts apply to clinical or research contexts. Many students also develop stronger study habits and the ability to connect information across different course units—skills that serve you beyond this course.
Speech Science labs often require you to collect acoustic or physiological data, analyze it using software, and draw meaningful conclusions. Tutors help you understand what you're measuring and why, interpret your results correctly, and communicate findings clearly in lab reports. Whether you're working with spectrograms, aerodynamic measures, or voice quality software, having someone guide you through the scientific reasoning—not just the mechanics—strengthens both your technical skills and conceptual understanding.
Speech Science exams often go beyond simple memorization—they ask you to apply anatomical knowledge to clinical scenarios, interpret acoustic data, or design hypothetical experiments. Effective preparation involves organizing information into meaningful frameworks, practicing with application-based questions, and discussing real-world examples. Tutors help you identify what you truly understand versus what you've memorized, fill knowledge gaps before the exam, and develop strategies for tackling complex, multi-part questions with confidence.
