I strongly believe there is no time in our lives where we quit being students. Learning comes from all modes of life, through experiences of grit and triumph, as well as managing failures. And I'm not just referring to tests. As a current college student, I've come a long way from a hopeless high sc...

College Essays Tutor • +15 Subjects

Graduate of University of California, Berkeley, the premier public university of the U.S. and probably the world, I had studied history and English from some of the most renown historians and literature professors in academia. There I learned the art and rigor of research, reading, writing, and reflective thinking. This December, I will finish a MA at San Francisco State University in English composition, focusing in-depth on all types of writing and how to teach writing to K-12 and university students and business professionals. As a graduate student, I taught a university-level writing-intensive course to freshmen, the type of composition writing course that the AP English Language and Composition and AP English Literature and Composition exams prepare high school students to study for and get college credit with a high score on the AP exam.I firmly believe that my passion and expertise in writing, literature, and history will help students reach their potential and improve their knowledge, skills, and their passion even if they are not yet engaged with the humanities and social sciences. Knowing many teachers and professors, I also firmly believe that students fall into the cracks of education frequently because of ill-prepared teachers, an overworked system that demands too much time from them without adequate pay and respect, and because most graduate schools of education do not adequately train teachers with evidence-based scholarship and give them the tools they need to succeed. I firmly believe that I and Varsity Tutors can fill this gap in education and in a student's learning by supplementing what schools cannot provide though teachers and professors are very passionate and heartfelt and genuinely care about their students. This is the unique role of the tutor.I can tutor most writing-related courses: AP English courses, AP History courses, SAT Reasoning (reading and writing), high school and university-level courses in writing, English, and history, and even business-related courses for professionals or business majors. In graduate school, I focused on grammar, style, and different types of genres: essays, business writing, grant writing, technical writing, long-form types of writing, and even creative writing.My interests outside my professional life still feed into and enrich my job. I am an aspiring writer in creative nonfiction, novels, short stories, and essays, and I am moving into technical writing with also a deep knowledge of technical subjects that are in high-demand in Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area. In the summer I teach physics to 8th graders and I worked at the Exploratorium, teaching science to visitors. I am unusual I believe for a humanities person in that I also took electives in physics, mathematics, and chemistry in college, which gives me the confidence and desire to move into technical writing.

AP U.S. Government & Politics Tutor • +29 Subjects

I'm an avid learner, and I believe in the power of education. I'm a trained historian. With that training has come skills in reading comprehension, critical analysis, writing, and editing. I believe that when someone is motivated and excited to learn, then he or she will learn. Education is fun and exciting, so let's make it feel fun and exciting!I am an undergraduate student at the University of Southern California pursuing a B.A. in history and computer programming. My history degree focuses on American history, particularly with an emphasis on the 19th and 20th centuries. I have worked with students -- high school, university, and adult -- to improve skills in reading, writing, and analyzing. Additionally, I have developed a curriculum for the GRE, which has helped students achieve their goals!

10th Grade Math Tutor • +27 Subjects

I graduated cum laude from the University of California, Irvine's school of Public Health Sciences in 2013. In addition to this, I was very involved around my college campus. I played five intramural sports, ran my own program in student government, which brought student teaching to UC Irvine, and served as president of my fraternity where I managed more than 60 members.I am a patient, kind-hearted, and intelligent person who truly values the importance of education in a young individual's life. I am currently applying to medical school and understand the plight of the modern student. I enjoy teaching and it gives me a lot of satisfaction to watch others learn and grow through their academics. I enjoy working with students of all ages from elementary to high school and even in some special cases, college sciences.During college, I tutored more than a dozen courses from start to finish. By using analogies, drawing diagrams, and asking the student questions, I was able to break through to students who were previously panicked about the possibility of failure. I believe in an "active" approach to tutoring which includes asking the student questions to not only get closer to a complicated answer, but to build the student's confidence. In addition, I always try to identify exactly where in the thinking process a student is struggling. After tackling this issue, I have been able to explain concepts and new ideas much more clearly and effectively.

Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects

I have attended and worked at the tutoring center, EDU4U, for the last 7 years. My own experiences as a student receiving tutoring has taught me and helped me a lot in being a successful tutor. In my opinion, the most important part of tutoring is understanding each individual's needs and learning methods. Everyone is different and to be a successful tutor, you cannot apply the same teaching methods to every student. Understanding how quickly students learn, what types of strengths they have, and their motivations for receiving tutoring is key to helping a student achieve their academic goals. My tutors have been some of my greatest mentors, and I want to be able to pass that on to my students.

Hello friends!Pleased to e-meet you :). Tutoring with Varsity Tutors intrigues me because I am a natural teacher and communicator, and because I enjoy the opportunity to help young people who want to further their education! Writing, reading, history, and German are my specialties. I'm actually a writer and poet myself, on top of being a singer and songwriter.Education is so important to your youth and to our society, and I'm just happy to be a part of it. And I believe that education is not just teaching how to do something. Education is also building a relationship and building a positive and welcoming environment. Those things are what truly opens up new potential.Thanks for reading. I hope to meet you in person very soon so we can get started!Best,Danny
