I am a rising sophomore at Columbia University in the City of New York, a member of the Ivy League, where I have compiled a track record of academic success across a variety of disciplines including my majors in History and Political Science. I currently maintain a 3.96 GPA, with especially strong success in social science related fields and English courses. I am living in our Writers House next year, a selective, competitive residential space for students interested in a career in writing.I am extremely passionate about the process of learning - the philosophy of teaching, the value of academic discussion, the development of a true appreciation for the classroom and for intellectual advancement. I believe my track record as a successful student - as someone who has had a strong first year in the Ivy League, who is currently researching with two professors, and who has prior tutoring experience - displays my profound desire to learn and to help others learn. I have a strong standardized testing record which complements the skills and motivation I have to teach.In my spare time, I am constantly trying to help myself acquire new skills and to expand my intellectual foundation, whether that be through reading novels, learning languages or perusing academic journals. I know firsthand how valuable tutoring is, as it was crucial in helping me develop an Ivy League-caliber course load before I applied to college. A tutor helped me pass an entrance exam I had initially failed to gain acceptance to the right level of high school mathematics. I hope to pass this forward and help other students realize the kind of success I have experienced.Ultimately, I see myself in academia, and working for Varsity Tutors is an experience I am using to help me explore my passion for education.

I am a junior at the University of Illinois at Chicago Honors College, where I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering with a focus in cell and tissue engineering. During high school, I worked in the literacy center, where I tutored fellow classmates and helped them with any classes that they were having trouble with. I enjoy tutoring because I acknowledge the two-way nature of it. Not only does tutoring help a tutee learn certain material, it also helps me master some old concepts. While I tutor a variety of subjects, one of my favorites is mathematics. I love teaching this subject because its concrete and builds problem-solving skills. I think that education is one of the most important facets of life since it directly shapes our future. With this in mind, I attempt to teach my students to the best of my ability. During my free time, I enjoy biking, playing the violin, and watching sports.

Hi! I recently graduated from MIT with a degree in Chemistry and a minor in Biology. During my time at MIT, I tutored for organic chemistry and biochemistry because I loved helping my students see the beauty in these subjects. I also taught chemistry and biology in Halifax, North Carolina and Ancona, Italy. After graduation I travelled to Ghana to help teach a Startup Incubator program. I'm now a medical student in North Carolina!

Hi everyone! My name is Catherina, and I am currently a student at Fordham University working towards a BA in Applied Mathematics and Economics. I love anything involving the outdoors, from nature walks to outdoor sports. I live in the great City of New York and spend my free time visiting museums and seeing the fascinating spots the city has to offer. I found an interest in tutoring in high school and continue it today because I love helping students understand material in a way that is easily understood by all. Nothing makes me more happy than the brightened face on a student content with working on a subject they previously struggled with. I work with all ages and abilities while striving to reach every individuals end goal. I hope to help you, too!

I've been a teacher for 15 years and love all kinds of science! I love teaching because I love learning and would love to work with you to learn more about the universe around us. I've taught astronomy, earth and space science, chemistry, physics, life science, and am starting a forensics class next year. I've got degrees in Earth and Space Science Education and Educational Leadership.

My job is to instill the love of Math in you. It's all about the fundamentals and everything starts with baby steps. With these two in mind and one's approach to solving a problem, you'd be able to solve any Math problem in no time. Failure is not an option for either one of us.

I obtained a Master of Education Degree in Elementary Education in 2010. I am certified to teach grades K-8th. I have 3 years of full time teaching experience in the state of Nevada.

My name is Gabriel Ukegbu, and I studied biopsychology at Tufts University. I am pursuing an MD-MBA after graduating college. If there is one thing that the pre-med track has taught me, there is nothing wrong with asking for help. I have participated in many tutoring sessions ranging from Biology to English, and I understand that tutors are quintessential. I want to be a tutor because I want to help other students as I was helped growing up. I wish to reaffirm to them that they are bright and that struggling is a part of growth.My passion was especially apparent when I worked at Summer Enrichment Academy: Empowering Ourselves Organization during the summer. I worked out of a church in Brooklyn tutoring students who were struggling in school academically. I taught underserved youth courses in math, reading, and science. I also worked at a summer camp at Eastside House Settlements in the Bronx, preparing lesson plans for 6th graders. I also taught all levels of chemistry to Tufts Unversity undergraduates.I encourage you to contact me if you would like to learn more.

My name is Landen Master, I am a Senior at Ohio State majoring in Computer Science and Engineering with a specialization in Software Developement. I enjoy all things computer science and helping others, so tutoring is a happy medium for the two.

I am a senior at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania studying Finance and Operations & Information Management. I am an Executive Board Member of one of the largest community service groups on campus, the West Philadelphia Tutoring Project, so I have had plenty of experience tutoring elementary and middle school students in reading and math in the Philadelphia area. Prior to my experience tutoring in Philadelphia, I ran an online writing program teaching essential writing skills to elementary school students and served as an Algebra I instructor at a local community center. I enjoy tutoring math up to Algebra 2, SAT Math, and editing essays (including college essays) because helping students build math foundations that will help them for the rest of their life is rewarding and I greatly enjoy editing essays! I have a very flexible tutoring style - I am approachable and willing to answer any questions related to the material. Hopefully, I can explain things as simply as possible so they stick. Outside of school, I enjoy piano, dancing, visiting museums, art, and discovering new foods and restaurants. Looking forward to tutoring!
