I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology.

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I'm eager to help you in your education. I'm a recent graduate of Harvard College looking to apply to law school. My senior thesis was written on John Dewey's ideas of education, which I deeply believe has incredible power to transform individuals and society.
I am a graduate of MIT. I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with minors in Management Science and Ancient and Medieval Studies. Since graduation, I have started my PhD at Georgia Tech in Operations Research. Throughout my career I have TA'd several math and computer science courses at the college level. I have also taught at summer programs for gifted middle school and high school students. I am passionate about tutoring kids in math and science because I think that a strong foundation in STEM at an early age can set the tone for their future. In my spare time I like to engage in athletics, and was a Division 1 rower in college.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often find elasticity of demand challenging in agricultural contexts, since farm products have unique price-demand relationships compared to other goods. Supply-side concepts like production costs, input pricing, and yield variability also trip up many students—especially when applying marginal analysis to real farming decisions. Additionally, understanding agricultural policy instruments (price supports, quotas, tariffs) and their market effects requires connecting abstract economic theory to concrete policy outcomes, which many students find conceptually demanding. Farm financial management, including cash flow analysis and debt-to-asset ratios specific to agricultural operations, is another area where students need concrete guidance to move beyond textbook examples.
Agricultural products have distinctly inelastic demand—people need to eat regardless of price—which creates unique market dynamics that differ from manufactured goods. A tutor can walk you through real examples like how a drought reduces corn supply but doesn't proportionally increase price (because demand stays relatively flat), helping you see why farmers' revenues often fall when yields drop. They can also help you calculate elasticity coefficients using actual USDA data, then interpret what those numbers mean for farm profitability and policy decisions. This bridges the gap between memorizing the elasticity formula and understanding why agricultural markets behave so differently from other industries.
Agricultural policy directly shapes market prices, farmer income, and production decisions in ways that pure supply-and-demand theory alone cannot explain. Students need to understand how government interventions—like price floors, crop insurance programs, import tariffs, and subsidy structures—create deadweight loss and unintended consequences. A tutor can help you analyze specific policies (like ethanol mandates or dairy price supports) by mapping out their effects on producers, consumers, and taxpayers, then connecting those effects back to economic principles like opportunity cost and comparative advantage. This skill is essential for college-level Agricultural Economics courses and for understanding real-world agricultural markets.
Beyond standard accounting, agricultural financial analysis requires understanding farm-specific metrics like debt-to-asset ratios, operating expense ratios, and return on assets (ROA) calculated for seasonal cash flows and multi-year crop cycles. Students need to work with balance sheets that include land values, equipment depreciation, and livestock inventory—assets that don't appear on typical business financial statements. Tutoring can help you learn to build cash flow projections that account for input costs (seed, fertilizer, labor) timed against harvest revenues months later, and to evaluate financing options like operating loans versus equipment mortgages. These skills connect directly to farm management decisions and are critical for students pursuing careers in agricultural lending, farm management, or agribusiness.
In agriculture, marginal analysis means understanding how one more unit of input (fertilizer, irrigation, labor hours) affects yield and profit—but with real constraints like weather, soil quality, and equipment capacity that textbooks often simplify. A tutor can help you work through practical scenarios: Should a farmer apply more fertilizer if it costs $50/acre but only increases yield by 2 bushels worth $30? This requires calculating marginal revenue product (MRP) and comparing it to marginal input cost, then considering risk factors like price volatility and weather uncertainty. Learning to apply this framework to actual farm decisions—rather than abstract production functions—helps you see why farmers make the choices they do and prepares you for upper-level courses in farm management or agricultural production economics.
Agricultural Economics relies heavily on regression analysis and time-series data to understand relationships between variables like rainfall, input prices, and crop yields—skills that go beyond basic statistics. Students need to interpret USDA datasets, construct demand and supply curves from real price-quantity data, and understand how to account for structural breaks (like policy changes) in agricultural markets. A tutor can guide you through practical analysis: using historical corn price and acreage data to estimate supply elasticity, or analyzing how fertilizer prices affect planting decisions across regions. These quantitative skills are essential for college-level coursework and for careers in agricultural policy, commodity trading, or farm consulting.
Strong Agricultural Economics knowledge opens doors to specialized careers in agricultural lending, commodity analysis, farm management consulting, and agricultural policy—roles that require both economic reasoning and practical understanding of farming operations. If you're considering an MBA with an agriculture focus or a career in agribusiness, mastering these concepts now builds the foundation for advanced coursework in agricultural finance, market analysis, and production management. A tutor can help you understand not just the theory but the real-world application: how lenders evaluate farm creditworthiness, how commodity traders use supply forecasts to position trades, or how policy analysts model the impact of tariffs on agricultural markets. This practical grounding makes you a stronger candidate for internships and entry-level positions in the agricultural sector.
The gap between memorizing elasticity formulas and understanding why agricultural markets behave the way they do is where tutoring makes the biggest difference. Rather than just plugging numbers into equations, a tutor helps you ask: Why do farmers sometimes destroy crops when prices fall? What happens to rural communities when commodity prices collapse? How do input costs affect planting decisions across different farm sizes? By working through real scenarios—analyzing actual price movements, policy changes, and farm financial statements—you develop intuition for how economic principles drive agricultural decisions. This deeper understanding is what separates students who pass Agricultural Economics exams from those who can actually analyze agricultural markets and contribute to real-world agricultural business decisions.
