Learning is more than just answers to a problem it the spark of a journey. This is the principle that approach that I use when teaching. Every students learning plan is individualized and unique as them. I enjoy helping people on their learning journey. Let's start the journey together.

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 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 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'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 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. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
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 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
While essays and speeches both require clear thesis statements and strong arguments, speeches are designed to be heard, not read. This means speech writing prioritizes rhythm, repetition, and simpler sentence structures for oral delivery. Speeches also rely heavily on engaging openings, memorable phrases, and natural pauses to keep audiences interested. A tutor can help you adapt your writing style to create speeches that resonate when spoken aloud, rather than just on the page.
Writer's block for speeches often stems from overthinking the perfect opening line or trying to write in order from start to finish. Try starting with your strongest point or most compelling story instead—you can rearrange later. Breaking your speech into smaller sections (hook, main arguments, conclusion) makes the project feel less overwhelming. Personalized tutoring can help you develop a writing process that works for your brain, whether that's outlining extensively, free-writing first drafts, or using note cards to organize thoughts before writing.
Strong speech introductions grab attention within the first few seconds using a hook—this might be a surprising statistic, a relevant question, a personal story, or a thought-provoking statement. Your introduction should then establish your credibility and preview your main ideas so audiences know what to expect. The best introductions feel conversational and authentic rather than stiff or over-rehearsed. A tutor experienced in speech writing can give you direct feedback on whether your opening lands effectively and help you refine it for maximum impact.
Persuasive speeches typically follow a clear structure: open with a hook and thesis, present 2-3 main arguments supported by evidence (statistics, examples, quotes), address counterarguments, and close with a call to action. Each argument should be distinct and flow logically to the next. Unlike essays, speeches benefit from signposting—phrases like "First," "Next," and "Finally"—to help listeners follow your reasoning. Personalized instruction can help you strengthen your logic, choose the most compelling evidence, and organize arguments in an order that builds persuasive power.
Word choice and tone are critical in speech writing because your audience hears emotion and emphasis that readers might miss on a page. Short, punchy words are often more memorable than complex vocabulary, and varied sentence length keeps pacing interesting. Your tone should match your purpose—formal for academic speeches, conversational for personal narratives, passionate for persuasive addresses. Tutors can provide feedback on whether your word choices and tone align with your message and audience, helping you develop an authentic voice that engages listeners.
Repetition and parallel structure are powerful tools in speech writing that help audiences remember key ideas and create rhythm. Repeating a phrase (like "We can...") or structure ("Not just for X, but for Y, and for Z") makes speeches more memorable and impactful when heard aloud. These techniques feel natural in spoken language but can seem awkward in essays. A tutor familiar with speech rhetoric can teach you how to use these devices intentionally to strengthen your message and create lines that resonate with your audience.
The best way to revise a speech is to read it aloud multiple times, as this reveals awkward phrasing, timing issues, and places where you lose your rhythm. Mark pauses, note which sections need clarity, and time yourself to ensure it fits your time limit. Record yourself and listen back—you'll catch verbal tics and spots that need punch. Then revise based on what you hear, not just what looks good on paper. Tutors can listen to your practice run and give specific feedback on delivery, timing, and clarity, helping you refine both the writing and how you'll present it.
