Hi there! I'm Sasha and I am a former high school biology teacher and MBA graduate who is excited to help you find success and enjoyment in your biology, chemistry, or math class or SAT II Subject Test. I taught high school biology at a public high school in New Jersey for three years and really enjoyed working with students. Additionally, I've had success on the SAT and the GMAT exams, and look forward to sharing my tips and tricks with students or business school applicants who are gearing up for these exams. Finally, having worked with a wide range of students, including many with IEPs or Section 504 accomodations, I have lots of strategies and ideas to help students who learn differently master content and can also help students who could use some extra support in their organizational and study skills.I'm available on weekday evenings and at most times on Saturday and Sunday. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you think I could help you or your student. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you!

I was once in the same shoes of many Varsity Tutors' students. I was struggling to learn my subjects and preparing for the SAT standardized test. I came from a rural high school (DuBois, PA) with no AP classes as well as no Honors classes. I was projected that engineering would be too difficult for me and that I should pursue something less rigorous. I ended up graduating with a Honors degree in chemical engineering and a minor in mathematics from the Pennsylvania State University. I then received a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University doing all of my research work with Sandia National Laboratories. I achieved these goals by setting high expectations for myself and striving every day to meet these expectations. I am a tutor that predominantly focuses on STEM and Business subjects from high school through graduate school as well as standardized tests. I really do not have a favorite subject here. I just enjoy teaching students who desire to learn and improve themselves. When I was an undergraduate student as well as a teaching assistant in graduate school teaching first semester students, I could take a person the night before the exam that had no clue of what was going on in class and help them achieve a B on the exam the next day. Standardized tests such as the SAT/ACT exam comprise various courses in high school and I cannot teach someone everything they need to know in one night or if a person is weeks behind in the understanding of the course material. Whether it is a standardized test or learning another subject; an assessment must be determined of where the student is currently in their understanding of the material. Next a game plan must be put together to get the student from where they are currently at to where they want to go. The fact of the matter is unless a student has always struggled in mathematics since kindergarten, they can achieve a perfect or near perfect score on the SAT/ACT mathematics section. The only traits that are required are a high level of expectations as well as the desire and effort to achieve those expectations. When it comes to solving problems, I will always ask the student on how they would solve a particular problem. Their answers can range that they definitely know how to solve it to they have absolutely no idea. I would then guide them along through each problem with the goal to have them understand a correct approach needed and to instill in the student a better understanding of the material as time goes along. As far as more information about myself, I am a person that enjoys learning and growing in all pursuits and my favorite hobby is working out and lifting weights at my local Planet Fitness. Additional Information: I am a STEM based tutor for Varsity Tutors in which I tutor everything from entry level to advanced subjects in Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, all Engineering disciplines, and MBA courses. I am continuously adding both courses in an individual field as well as fields themselves to tutor. I tutor from 6th grade to graduate school as well as students with mental disabilities. I help students from inner city schools to the top boarding schools in the US to state public universities as well as the ivy league. I work with students at international universities along with international students in the US as well as adults going back to school.

Hi. I travel. I write. I teach.I am a chronic adventure-seeker and a lifelong learner. My favorite aspect of the current landscape of education is the use and implementation of technology. It allows us to explore, connect and be free. With my current dissertation, I am hoping to prove that the modern student may actually learn more efficiently in an online environment.When I’m not teaching, my passion is spending time with my wife and my family traveling, fishing, surfing and most importantly, enjoying great food!

I began my career in Physics and Mechanical Engineering beginning at Earlham and finishing at Columbia University.I now work as a Software Engineer in finance.Historically, I've tutoring anything in math, hard science, or computer science. I'm willing to help any student.

I suppose that a personal teaching statement needs to answer two questions of the sort that one might be asked in a job interview: “Why do you want to teach?” and “What do you hope to accomplish?” I could easily say something about wanting to “wake the student up," “broaden their horizons,” or some variant thereof. Every teacher wants to do those things. When we use those sorts of hackneyed phrases without considering what they mean, we are speaking a dead language. We are partaking in an exercise in Latin grammar; making sure the form is correct without regard for the content. For example, students learn the proper language of “social studies” in elementary school: terms like “culture,” “prejudice,” etc. They repeat these words like they complete the algebraic expression x = 2 + 2; automatically and without considering whether those numbers stand for something in the real world. It's boring and UNPRODUCTIVE for everyone involved.What I want to impart is the ability to practice a sort of “meta cognition.” I want to suggest to that what we call thought typically follows the same procedure as filling in that equation. Real deliberative, reflexive thought takes place BEHIND the number crunching. If one pays attention closely, it even has a different feeling; a sensation in a region somewhat posterior to that felt when calculating. This is what we mean when we talk about “waking students up.” It is the ubiquitous goal of undergraduate education and it should be – if we as educators, are willing to exemplify the practice of poking and prodding at our own clichés until they are jarred from their comas -- until they begin speaking the way they did before they were routinized.Upon the completion of that last paragraph, my ode to reflexivity has doubled back on itself and made me wonder if it also some unconscious expression of my cognitive programming, the legacy of late 60's hippy culture, etc. What do I hope to accomplish? I want to exemplify for my students exactly this kind of probing: a question from a question; a thought in motion doubling back into itself and expanded outward to infinity. When this occurs, student "engagement" is no longer a problem, because a real question has been asked. It fills the consciousness and demands an answer, which demands further questions and so on.

I am a graduate of the University of Houston where I double majored in Honors Biomedical Sciences and Public Health. I recently completed my Master of Science, and will be attending medical s book in July. I have been tutoring for many years in a broad range of subjects, and I love working with students and helping them find a study plan and routine that helps them achieve their academic goals. In my spare time I love to go hiking and explore new places to eat!

It feels wonderful to be able to teach and mentor others. I believe education is the way to success and I wish for the success of all. I received my undergraduate degree in psychology at California State University, Sacramento. From there, I began working with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other intellectual/developmental disabilities. I earned my Masters degree at University of the Pacific in Psychology with an emphasis in Applied Behavior Analysis. While there, I taught research methods and statistics at the undergraduate level for 2 years. I am now finishing my PhD in Clinical/Counseling Psychology. I have completed several research projects, published research, and co-written chapters in books. Clinically, I have taught parents in several behavior strategies to help decrease their child's problem behaviors and increase acquisition of skills. I have worked with children as young as one and adults as spritely as 65. I am happy to tutor a variety of subjects (e.g., math, English, and general study/organization skills). I am determined to see a smile at every session! Additionally, I expect everyone is feeling more confident by the end than when they started. Confidence is key! I love teaching my children to be curious and confident. When I am not teaching or playing with my children, I love to read, watch Marvel or Disney movies, ride roller coasters, and go on camping/fishing trips.

As a graduate student who took a few courses online myself, I am well aware of how online teaching works. Hence I strive to connect and help students get more out of my online tutoring with every session.In addition to understanding the concepts well, practice is a key element to succeed in Math and Statistics. Hence my teaching will focus on both these aspects extensively. I've tutored high school students in Algebra, Pre-calculus, Trigonometry and various other topics.The school system with all the exams and tests can be challenging and stressful for students. I strive to provide compassionate tutoring tailored to individual student needs not only to improve their grades but also to provide an enjoyable learning experience because Math can be fun. While in high school, I was a consistent topper in Math for over 2 years. My tutoring journey began around that time, when I started working with students after school to help them succeed in Math and Science.I absolutely love to teach and interact with students and that, coupled with my strong academic background, are my key drivers for looking for tutoring opportunities

My name is Henry. I am currently a graduate student in the mathematics doctoral program at the State University of New York at Albany. I have been tutoring high school and college math for many years. I especially love algebra, calculus, and discrete math.

I am Masters degree holder in Finance from Johns Hopkins University . I have also taught and tutored the same in my Grad School. Overall, I have a year long experience in tutoring. I enjoy teaching as I find it very liberating.I specialize in Quantitative Methods, Finance, Accounting and Application of Programming software in Finance. I'm a very friendly, outgoing person and always try to create a rapport with my students before teaching. With tutoring, I have not only been able to provide my expertise to students but also gained a lot of perspective on how to solve things differently.My strategy for tutoring is to have an open communication with you and help you understand the concepts instead of making you rote learn. This will not only help you score better grades but will also make learning more fun. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you want me to review your homework/assignment. Being a recent graduate myself, I can understand the last minute submissions.
