I am a current student at the Colorado School of Mines, studying to double major in Applied Mathematics and Engineering Physics. I have been tutoring students professionally for one year, but also through my schools for 5 years now. I tutor most kinds of Math and Science, and love doing so; being able to help spread understanding of a difficult concept never fails to bring me joy. As a current student, I understand how lecturing is often not the most effective (or interesting) way to learn, so I like to be very interactive and ask a lot of questions in my teaching, almost like a conversation between the student and myself.

I am 27 with a bubbly personality and an enthusiasm for mathematics! I have been tutoring math for 10 years now through different businesses. While I attended Drake University, I worked in the Drake Math Lab for 4 years, and I worked with a variety of students, classes, and majors. I found my love for teaching as I enjoyed working more than my classes. I graduated with a degree in Actuarial Science in May 2014 and soon after attained my Master's Degree in Secondary Math Education from Iowa State University. I get along with almost every person I meet and I can make math fun for you or your little one (or both, sit in and learn too!) I look forward to helping you!
I'm a hiker, a reader, a giant nerd, and full of terrible jokes that will (shockingly) make tutoring fun.
I am currently pursuing my PhD in Literature/Creative Writing at the University of Denver. Prior to beginning my doctoral studies, I was a creative writing/English lecturer at Washington University in St. Louis where I completed my MFA and senior post-graduate teaching fellowship. I received my BA in Philosophy from Carleton College in 2009. Before my time in St. Louis and Denver, I taught English Literature at the Loomis Chaffee School in Connecticut and, earlier, at Germantown High School in Philadelphia. During my time at Loomis and Germantown, I taught English Lit I/III, Contemporary Literature, 10th grade grammar and expository writing seminars, Literature of the Sea, Experimental Novel, and Creative Writing. At Wash U, I taught Fiction Writing I, II, and Microfiction, and last year I facilitated pedagogy training for Wash U MFA graduate students. I currently tutor at DU's Writing Center and, beginning this fall, I will teach undergraduate fiction classes. I have a marked interest in modern and contemporary fiction, though I very much look forward to helping students with all craft/literature/essay writing/verbal test taking endeavors.
I am an experienced tutor who is passionate about math and science education. I have a deep understanding of math and science. I recently graduated from Brown University with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, coursework in both the physical and natural sciences, and a GPA of 3.87. I also studied at an IB high school and graduated with the highest marks in my class.
I am a recent graduate of the University of Kentucky with a Master of Science in Animal Nutrition. I received my Bachelor of Science in Animal Sciences from Cornell University. While I tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring math and feel that our school systems often fail students when it comes to math. I do not believe that some people simply "can't do math." I believe that some may need extra time and help, but everyone can do math. With patience and hard work, any student can learn. I also enjoy tutoring Spanish, which I have studied since I was in elementary. During undergrad, I even studied abroad in Barcelona and lived with a host family. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, dancing, TV/movies, and knitting.
I am able to help students with their studies using creative and fun methods. I love History and Literature, and I enjoy being able to help students learn the joy of reading. My favorite subject in elementary school was Math and I enjoy talking about fractions, the metric system, and the importance of knowing multiplication tables!
I'm a high school science teacher with experiences in languages, writing, and the arts. I'm interested in helping my students decode and relate to the material in front of them, and develop meaningful connections with it so that their understanding goes beyond just skills and content knowledge.
I am a native Mandarin speaker, and I got both MD and PhD degree from one of the top 20 universities in China. I've also passed the "national proficiency test of mandarin" when I was in college. Teaching and researching the difference between Chinese and English have always been my passion. Before "varsity tutors", I have tutored five English-speaking students from ages 6 to 20. I tailor my classes to different students' needs, and I enjoy writing my own "Chinese grammar and practice" book based on different levels. I am a super responsible and hard-working person. My goal is to help my students to learn the most with the least number of classes, and to make sure my students couldn't be more satisfied with me.
I am a graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry as well as MCD (Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental) Biology while minoring in Chemistry in 2015. I love exploring all of the cool things that this world has to offer. By dabbling in a little of everything I can set my sights on what really holds my attention. My primary interests lie in the sciences, where learning what makes our world turn drives my passion for knowledge.
I am a junior mechanical engineering student at Oklahoma Christian University. I have tutored middle school, high school, college, and post college age groups, primarily in math based subjects. Math and physics based subjects are my personal favorite to tutor people in, as these subjects are most of the foundation that makes up my mechanical engineering degree. I also enjoy tutoring students in ACT Prep, and it is my firm belief that the ACT is not as daunting as it may seem. Outside of academia, I am a passionate car enthusiast, and I also love skiing, eating, traveling, and photography.
