Miriam
PhD Duke University • BA Duke University
9+ Years Tutoring

I'm a passionate explorer, educator, and scientist. I am a Planetary Science Researcher (PhD, 2008). I write grants to NASA to use spacecraft data to study the composition and evolution of rocky planetary bodies (Moon, Mercury, asteroids). My research is broad and interdisciplinary that equips me to tutor many subjects and also to show students connections between subjects when it improves subject mastery. I have been teaching and tutoring for over twenty years, at every level of my education and career. In high school I taught aerospace education and aviation search and rescue while I earned my pilot's license. As an undergraduate at Duke I tutored athletes in Geology, Calculus, and Electrical Engineering core courses and I was a teaching assistant for Computer Science and Linear Circuits Laboratory. In graduate school I was a teaching assistant in geology. And as a professor, I've taught undergraduate and graduate science courses at a major U.S. research university. Most recently I designed a combined English and Engineering elective to students with limited English Proficiency at a small university in Colombia.

Emerson
BA University of Chicago
1+ Years Tutoring

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Chicago, working towards a pre-med double major in Psychology and Biology (with a specialization in Neuroscience). Beginning in my early teens, I began working and volunteering as a tutor in a variety of environments: I began as a volunteer at a summer program for underprivileged children at the Learning and Tutoring Center of East Austin, and since I have worked as a private elementary school tutor, a private SAT-prep tutor, and a preschool tutor for the Neighborhood Schools Program in South Side Chicago. I have taken, and succeeded in, a broad range of Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) classes, and am familiar with the latest formats, question varieties, and scoring guidelines of these standardized tests, along with the SAT. My teaching philosophy is to go beyond "teaching to the test". Although test-taking skills are crucial for any assessment, I believe the most valuable thing a tutor can do is to enhance and help develop conceptual understanding in our clients. I believe that once a student understands something at the conceptual level, he or she will be much better prepared for the topic, not only in the specific test we are preparing for, but anywhere else it may come up. Memorizing words or equations might help somebody in the short term, but understanding why that word means what it means, or what an equation is actually depicting is worth the extra effort. Besides test-prep I think I can be a great help in writing and editing, as I have experience in everything from short, timed essays such as the SAT essay, to college essays, to research papers such as the IB Extended Essay. I am fully fluent in Spanish for anyone who wishes to communicate in or practice the language.

I am hoping to put forth my knowledge and academic expertise in the variety of areas I am comfortable to do so, but with particular focus on one area that remains a crucial point upon which our education system rest: standardized testing. I am a recent veteran of the rather arduous journey most students take through myriad tests, upon which their success and failure is determined. I have intimate experience and knowledge with the AP, IB, SAT, and GRE tests, and have spent time tutoring in the area of the SAT, as well as staying abreast of changes in testing protocol and procedure for those tests which I listed above, prior to my time here.

I am a current Master's in Public Health student at the University of South Florida. I graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor's in Biology and minor in public health. I have previous experience tutoring middle school reading and math. I enjoy helping students better understand concepts because I know how it feels to be confused, and it seems like no one is able to help you. I hope to be that person who can help you better understand the subject and maybe enjoy it too! My favorite subject is math, especially calculus and algebra!

Frequently Asked Questions

Middle school introduces more complex academic expectations, multiple teachers, and increased independence—a significant shift from elementary. Students often struggle with organization, time management, and balancing multiple subjects. Personalized tutoring helps students build these foundational skills while staying on track with their coursework, making the transition smoother and boosting confidence during this critical developmental period.

Middle schoolers typically struggle with abstract thinking in math, essay writing and reading comprehension, and managing increased homework loads. Many students also face challenges with organization and study habits as coursework becomes more demanding. Personalized instruction targets these specific gaps, helping students develop stronger problem-solving skills and independent learning strategies that set them up for success in high school.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 18.2:1 in Jacksonville schools, classroom instruction must serve the whole group. Personalized tutoring adapts to your student's learning pace, learning style, and specific gaps—allowing tutors to spend time on exactly what your student needs rather than moving with the class. This focused approach typically leads to faster skill development and stronger understanding of challenging concepts.

The first session is an assessment and planning meeting. A tutor will discuss your student's academic goals, identify specific challenges, and understand their learning style. Together, you'll develop a personalized plan that aligns with your student's school curriculum and addresses priority areas—whether that's improving grades, building confidence, or preparing for standardized tests.

Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand middle school standards and can align their instruction with what your student is learning in the classroom. Whether your student attends a Duval County or Clay County school, tutors work with your student's textbooks, assignments, and learning objectives to reinforce classroom concepts and fill knowledge gaps.

Progress looks different for each student—it might be improved test scores, better homework completion, increased class participation, or stronger understanding of difficult concepts. Most families notice improvements within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring. Tutors provide regular feedback on what's working, and you can track tangible outcomes like grades, standardized test scores, or your student's confidence level in specific subjects.

Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across all middle school subjects—math, English/language arts, science, social studies, and more. Whether your student needs help with pre-algebra fundamentals, essay writing, or test preparation, you can find a tutor with expertise in that specific area and grade level.

Start by telling us about your student's academic needs, goals, and schedule. Varsity Tutors will match you with an expert tutor who's a good fit for your student's learning style and subject area. You can then schedule your first session at a time that works for your family, and begin working toward your student's academic goals right away.
