I am a scientist turned non-traditional pre-med. I earned my Master's Degree in Biology from the University of Notre Dame in 2022, where I studied phenotypes of malaria genetic cross progeny. While working full-time in a public health laboratory, I conquered my MCAT exam and have gained 5 medical school acceptances in the current application cycle. Having received support from fellow tutors during my own journey, I find it deeply satisfying to help other pre-med students on the journey to their medical school acceptance.

I am a graduate of Stanford University with a Bachelor's Degree in Human Biology. My concentration was on the Ethics of Communicating Bioengineering and focused extensively on bioengineering, bioethics, and the way to unite those subjects through skilled communication. In my time in college, I tutored students in the Structured Liberal Education program through their Alumni Connection program and wrote extensive research papers on a variety of topics, spanning from the best way to counteract biological terror to how the ideas of Marx intersected with modern anime. My strongest subjects are English and Biology, and I take a nontraditional approach to tutoring. It's important to meet students where they're at, figuring out how to shore up their weak points while making their strengths shine for whatever their specific goals are.
I am an undergraduate student at Vanderbilt University. I am working to earn a Bachelor of Science in mathematics with a minor in Art History. Ever since High School, I have had a passion for tutoring. I taught at a voluntary after school ACT program and tutored independently students across my county ranging from age five to sixteen. Growing up in a low socioeconomic area plagued with low standardized test scores I understood the power I possessed to give back to my community to those around me. Ever since I have been in love with tutoring and working with students to help better themselves and their intellectual growth. I have experience tutoring in most subjects but my main adoration has always been mathematics. I have encountered so many people who have a bitter taste in their mouth towards math due to their prior experiences. Whenever I am able to change their view towards math I am always ecstatic. I have witnessed the power education has to change someone's life and I want to pass on my knowledge to my students so they may pass it onto others one day themselves.
I am sophomore at Amherst College, working towards obtaining an undergraduate degree in Mathematics, with a potential double major in either Psychology or Black Studies. I have always enjoyed teaching others and helping my peers with their homework, especially in math. I really love working with students to help them understand concepts they find difficult by looking at those concepts from different angles. I have done some one-on-one math tutor, as well as often helping my peers with their math homework in various levels of math. I tutor many math subjects, including elementary math, pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, pre-Calculus and Calculus 1. Math has always been my favorite subject, and I like to tutor math because I think anyone is capable of doing math if they are taught in a method they can understand. I like to work with students to find an approach to math problems that they comprehend. I will try multiple approaches to the same problem until I find one that works for each specific student. Outside of tutoring and school, I love to meet new people and try new things. I enjoy watching football, painting and crafting, reading, and baking.
I'm a student at BC. I've always loved to help others understand. When I was little I would have "class" and turn my younger siblings into my students. In elementary school, I began to receive great personal satisfaction from helping my classmates and friends with any homework they were confused about. Throughout high school I volunteered as a tutor since I enjoyed it so much and now I work as a part-time tutor and mentor to the children of newly-arrived immigrants in Boston. I have a very individualized approach to teaching, drawing on the interests, experiences, and style of learning of my students. My areas of speciality are both English and Spanish grammar, reading/writing, and fluency. I would love to help you/your child in any way I'm able!
I received my bachelor's in science with a physics and writing major. I have taught physics and math for 5 years. I am comfortable teaching physics, from high school physics to university level quantum mechanics, and high school math.
As a former IB student, my love for knowledge runs deep. I majored in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, graduating in December 2015 with honors (BME honors and Science and Technology Honors program) and going on to earn a Master's degree in Management Information Systems from the same university in 2019. I am currently pursuing a Master of Engineering in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning from the University of Illinois at Chicago and hope to start a career in data science and analytics. I greatly enjoy helping others learn and tutored throughout high school and college; I love seeing the light flash on in a student's eyes when they finally understand something they had been struggling with or when they easily solve a problem. I have tutored both young children as well as high school and college students, in just about every subject. I particularly enjoy language tutoring; I am fluent in Arabic and French and I love literature and poetry. I also love to tutor math and science subjects. My tutoring style is very much student-first; I listen and observe to determine the best approach for each individual student and what methods or strategies will be most helpful for you specifically. I am not averse to making a fool of myself with song or dance if it will help! I enjoy what I do and I want the students I work with to enjoy learning as well.
With a bachelor's degree in religion from Dartmouth College, I have developed a deep appreciation for the power of language and storytelling. My tutoring experience has equipped me to foster a supportive learning environment where students can flourish and express themselves authentically. I aim to guide them in seeing literature not merely as a medium but as a profound revelation of the human experience. By focusing on English Grammar and Syntax, as well as UK A Level Irish and Russian, I strive to cultivate not just academic skills but also a lifelong love for literature and learning.
I am a third year aerospace engineering student at Georgia Tech.
I am currently a student at Oberlin College and Conservatory. I am working towards a degree in environmental studies and dance, as well as a minor in east Asian studies. I started tutoring in high school working with elementary students learning how to read. Though I have experience teaching older students I find that I enjoy teaching elementary children the best. In my experience I have found that the best way to teach is to have the individual work it out for themselves with me guiding them in the right direction.
I am completing a master's in wildlife science at Auburn University.
My passion for teaching began in the middle of my high school career when I first started tutoring my peer in math. She was struggling in Pre-Calculus, and I decided to help her (obviously, not out of self-interest ). As I began my tutoring sessions, my passion for teaching began to grow since I really liked seeing my students understand and interpret difficult concepts and incorporate them as one of their own. After seeing this happen multiple times, their joy became mine, and I wanted to spread the joy of learning to other people as well. I know that learning can be difficult and hard at times, but with a friend or a mentor to guide you, it can lessen that load and make this journey more bearable and even rewarding at times. To explain a little bit about myself, I graduated from Pensacola Christian Academy and went straight into Birmingham-Southern College, which is a small liberal arts college located in the town of Birmingham, Alabama. Because of my high score on my SAT and my status as an international student, I received a full-tuition scholarship that was exclusively meant for international students, and after spending one year as a freshman, I got into a position of a Resident Advisor and basically got myself into a full-ride scholarship with no fees to worry about (scholarship paid for full tuition, my position as an RA paid for room & board, and my work-study position paid for all extra fees). After four years at BSC, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science with a physics major and a mathematics minor. I tutor all math-related subjects (arithmetic, algebra, pre-calculus, calculus, and some higher mathematics courses), but I especially enjoy teaching pre-calculus and college-level calculus since I had the most experience tutoring in those two subjects. I think my teaching philosophy is to connect with my student first, and then try to figure out what problems they are facing so that they can understand and overcome the obstacle that lies ahead. Since I know that all people think differently and in their own style, I will match my teaching style to yours, and I will do my best to work alongside you to figure out what is the best solution to solve your particular problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Florence's 21 schools with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in the Lauderdale County or Colbert County school districts, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic needs.
Personalized tutoring addresses gaps in foundational skills and reinforces concepts aligned with Alabama's state standards. Tutors work one-on-one with students to build mastery at their own pace, which is especially valuable in a classroom setting where the average student-teacher ratio in Florence is 16.4:1—making it harder for teachers to provide individualized support.
Florence students commonly seek tutoring in math, reading, and test preparation—particularly as they progress through middle and high school. We also work with students on Alabama-specific assessments and college prep subjects like SAT/ACT preparation, which are critical for students planning to attend in-state universities.
The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their learning style, current challenges, and goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically and create a personalized plan tailored to their needs and your family's expectations. This foundation ensures every session that follows is purposeful and targeted.
Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions you choose. We work with families in Florence to find flexible scheduling and pricing options that fit your budget. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your student's specific needs.
