Hello,I'm a recent graduate of the California Institute of Technology in Economics and Computer Science. I was also accepted at Harvard, Princeton, MIT, and Stanford. I have a broad range of interests spanning science, math, engineering, social science, the humanities, the arts, and athletics (I also played on the Caltech basketball team). My background allows me to tutor general college prep, especially the SAT, ACT and the GRE. I love to teach analytical thinking, ranging from advanced Math and Physics to strategies for understanding literature and developing arguments.I've tutored & received tutoring my entire life. My dad started drilling me on multiplication tables at 4 and 2 years later, when my oldest sister came of age, I began working with her. 3 siblings came after her who I worked with every day to improve their mathematical & verbal reasoning, giving them assignments out of workbooks our parents got us, correcting & reviewing their answers. I still help my youngest sibling with her Calculus homework today. My first compensated tutoring gig came the summer before my junior year when I taught local high school & community college students chemistry & physics from my home. Since then I've worked constantly as a tutor, working with a company in various locations throughout the Southland. I specialize in SAT math, having led workshops & boot camps which saw some students improve their score 200 points.In college, I sharpened my tutoring skills against the world's best whetstones. I do not just mean Caltech professors, though they deserve their props. The Institute fosters a collaborative environment where students thrive through teaching and learning from others. You really cannot get by in the school without these skills.Thus, my educational experience has exposed me to many of the effective ways people learn and teach. When I tutor people, no matter what the subject, I keep my utmost focus on patience and encouragement. Even if I find the subject easy, I can harken back to long nights trying to understand complex topics at Caltech which my tutors found easy, and gain inspiration from their patience and encouragement. These experiences fostered in me a love of learning and passing my knowledge onto others.I hope you feel inclined to take advantage of my willingness, no, intense desire to work with you. I plan to remain local indefinitely as I pursue other ongoing ventures.Thank you,Brian

I recently graduated from UC Santa Barbara where I received a BA in Political Science (International Relations), and two minors, including a minor in Professional Writing. I have spent over four years working as a student advisor in a variety of capacities. Moreover, I am currently studying for my LSAT; consequently I am all too familiar with the frustrations that accompany mastering difficult material. As such, I believe it is crucial that students be provided a variety of perspectives and resources to use as tools to solve the problems that consistently stump them. As a tutor, my job is to help students discover and master these tools, not only to meet their immediate needs, but to help them build a foundation that can aid in addressing future challenges..

I am completing my Pre-Health Certificate at Cal State Fullerton with the hopes of applying to medical school. I currently work as a tutor in the College of Natural Science and Mathematics, where I've helped dozens of students in general Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Organic Chemistry. The student body at CSUF is very diverse, and I am extremely comfortable working with students from a wide variety of backgrounds. Additionally, I'm well versed in preparation for all health professions school exams.In high school, I also tutored extensively in Biology, Mathematics, History, and English. I finished high school with a 4.80 GPA, which put me in the top 1% of my graduating class. I earned outstanding scores on multiple Advanced Placement tests and the SAT. My consistently high levels of academic achievement are due to my dedication and solid study habits, and I know I will be able to impart my passion and dedication to any student I tutor.Before deciding to pursue a career in medicine, I graduated from the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley and worked in the Transaction Services division of Ernst & Young, a "Big 4" accounting firm. While I no longer work in the business world, I believe this experience has imparted me with a greater level of maturity and perspective than the average college student.

Teaching is not just a passion, it's a calling! There's never a lack of knowledge, just a shortage of asking for help. If a student is asking for help, then they are an inspiration, in and of itself.I am currently a software engineer, but I started as an educator early in life. I began teaching as a teacher's assistant at Eckerd College. At the time, I honestly thought I had the best job in the world. I realized I aspired to see other people have those "A-ha" moments.Many years later, I'm sure I wasn't wrong.I would later go on to teach English As a Second Language while I lived in Colombia for a couple of years. My desire to elevate others continued and witnessing their victories, big and small, continued to impact me. I had a particular student who worked with me for 2 years. He walked in with no knowledge. We were having full conversations in English towards the end. Working with them was one of my proudest moments.I am an educator, through and through. I look forward to working with you!

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts. I was an English teacher for two months in South Korea. In college, I wrote a play that was produced by a middle school. I am an honors graduate of a medical transcription and editing program from the online school Career Step. This included courses in grammar and punctuation. With this program, I also gained proofreading and editing skills as I edited work that I had transcribed to be sure it was grammatically correct. I love to travel and have new experiences. Every day I work on learning new things and developing new talents. There are so many interesting things about this world.

I am currently a doctoral student at the University of Southern California, and I completed earlier degrees at the Juilliard School in New York and at La Sierra University in Riverside, CA. At La Sierra as an undergrad, I received dual degrees with honors in violin and mathematics, both of which have led me to teaching opportunities. In tutoring either field, I enjoy the constant adaptation of finding an approach suited to each student that will help them achieve their goals. Both mathematics and music are often considered to be innate talents, but being able to assist students of any background in gaining proficiency is an exciting opportunity for me and a fulfilling one when it happens. Beyond mathematics, I also welcome tutoring opportunities in Chemistry and especially Physics, with it's mathematical foundation.Another field in which I feel passionately about helping others is in English writing. Prior to working for Varsity Tutors, I would often help my friends with editing personal statements. I have also been fortunate to enjoy a key role in a start-up orchestra in New York City as a grant writer. Writing is an indispensable life skill that is too often overlooked, and I feel that my background allows me to be of help in a variety of tutoring subjects involving writing, from test prep to grammar and mechanics.I was fortunate to do well enough on the PSAT to earn a full scholarship for my undergraduate studies, and I recognize the importance of the PSAT, SAT, and AP tests for other students in achieving their educational hopes and dreams with a minimum financial burden. I am happy to work with students to prepare them for the standardized tests in the areas within my expertise.When I am not occupied with school, one of my hobbies is cycling and bicycle mechanics. I've rebuilt a number of vintage steel bicycles, and would like to build a wheel soon. I also like to stay active on the side with video and audio editing projects.

I am a San Diego State University Applied Mathematics student. I have experience leading a workshop for a Calculus 2 class and have been a tutor for over a year now in Calculus.

I am presently a student at the University of Redlands working towards a degree in creative writing. I have a strong background in general language arts and have tutored students of all ages in the past. I enjoy tutoring because I like helping students become comfortable in even the most strenuous academic settings. In my tutoring sessions, I aim for a casual-yet-firm approach, and I'm most at ease tutoring students in high-level language arts, with a special focus on academic essay writing and general written communication skills. When I have free time, I'm an avid reader, favoring everything from scholarly texts on the history of corn cultivation to highflying space opera comic books.

I am currently pursuing my Bachelor's Degree in Biology from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I plan to graduate with this degree in June of 2016. I have worked for a few years previously as a private tutor back in my home town. I tutor mostly high school subjects. I am able to tutor in high school chemistry, biology, and US history. I am also able to tutor Biology and US History at the AP level, and the SAT II Biology E/M exam. I am also able to tutor the Math and Science portions of the SAT. My favorite subjects to teach would be the ACT science portion, as well as US History.My tutoring style involves a lot of preparation work as well as review. I believe that the best way for students to learn, and it has helped me as well, is to constantly practice questions in whatever subject they may be studying. This is especially true for science and math subjects. Cramming simply does not work in getting the material to stick with the student. The point of learning is to allow the recollection of material over a medium to long period of time. Cramming only works for the short term, and is not favorable to learning the material well.My hobbies include reading speculative fiction, biking, and music. I have played the viola for the better part of a decade, and enjoy playing in quartets. I also very much enjoy travelling to places out of the country, and learning about other places' heritage.I very much look forward to working with you.

I started tutoring in high school when I played varsity soccer, and many of the players needed assistance to pick up their grades to remain eligible for sports. Since then, I have tutored more formally. I was a teaching assistant at Point Loma Nazarene University for both the Psychology and Spanish Departments. This involved working with students one-on-one and reviewing past course work, quizzes, and tests. I was always willing to meet with students that needed extra help. I also frequently made study guides that were easy to navigate to help students succeed.I love to tutor because it is a way to use my strengths to help others. I also highly relate to students because I am still a student. As an individual beginning graduate school, I have had to take many standardized test, such as the GRE and the ACT. I understand how frustrating they are, and I want to help others succeed.I minored in Spanish in college, and I was only a couple classes short of a major. When we were tested at the end of the program, I was placed at the "Advanced-High" level, which is one level lower than the skills required of an ambassador or diplomat. My mother speaks Spanish, so I grew up in a household where Spanish was often spoken. I also got a 5 on the AP Spanish exam in High School.I frequently utilize writing skills and am always happy to pass along pointers and edit papers. I am studying psychological research, which means I habitually write formal papers to be submitted for review. I got a 35 on the ACT and feel comfortable helping students that need assistance with writing.I took the GRE last summer after months of studying. I did not take any preparation classes. Rather, I studied myself using books and practice tests. I scored between the 86th and 93rd percentile on each section. I was able to develop many strategies for studying and assisted my friends that were taking the exam as well. I was accepted to every Masters program where I applied with my GRE scores.I am highly looking forward to tutoring!
