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 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'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 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 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 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 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 exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the first-generation and low-income student community as the Outreach Chair of the Quest+ Scholars Network, and getting involved with the Society of Women Engineers' outreach committee. I currently hold a work-study position as an administrative clerical aide in the Institute of Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern and was an undergraduate researcher in the John Rogers Lab. As I look forward with aspirations of applying to graduate school, areas of research in biomedical engineering and biotechnology that I am particularly interested in include biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery systems. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy learning on my own and sharing my experience and knowledge with my peers and other students. I hope to make use of my experiences with academics and learning in high school and so far in my undergraduate career in order to effectively tutor students who may be experiencing the same struggles in learning that I also experienced.
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Currently, I am in the master's program at the University of New Mexico where I am continuing my education in philosophy. Ultimately, I hope to go on to earn a PhD in Philosophy so that I can continue engaging in my passions for learning and teaching. While in school, I have spent countless hours coaching high school speech and debate both in person and working online with students across the country. My focus in coaching has been to emphasize philosophy and critical thought to prepare students to think through novel arguments on their own. I am passionate about teaching and tutoring because I love seeing students learn to be intellectually independent and think through problems on their own terms by developing their critical thinking skills. I have devoted my life to education because I am passionate about it, and I try to share some of my passion for learning with the students I work with. I tutor all sorts of Standardized Tests, and I particularly enjoy working on logic-based problems like analogies and math sections. When I am not tutoring or reading for school, I enjoy strategy games (both board games and video games), listening to music, hiking, playing basketball, and just relaxing with friends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ancient Greek courses typically progress through several key areas: foundational grammar including the Greek alphabet, pronunciation, and basic noun/verb forms; vocabulary building with emphasis on commonly used words and word roots; reading comprehension of simplified texts and eventually classical passages; and cultural context about ancient Greek civilization, literature, and philosophy. Many Miami high schools follow curricula aligned with AP Classical Greek standards, which emphasize translating authentic texts from Homer, Plato, and other classical authors. The pace and depth depend on whether it's an introductory or advanced course.
Most students struggle with the complexity of Ancient Greek grammar, particularly the cases, genders, and verb conjugations that don't have direct English equivalents. Additionally, translating requires understanding not just word meanings but also syntactic patterns and cultural references embedded in classical texts. Many students find it helpful to approach translation systematically—identifying the verb first, then working through cases to understand relationships between words—rather than translating word-by-word. Tutors working with students in Miami can help develop these strategic approaches and build confidence with gradually more complex texts.
Most introductory courses focus on 500-800 high-frequency words, while Advanced Placement preparation typically emphasizes mastery of around 1,000 core vocabulary items. Rather than memorizing isolated word lists, the most effective approach is learning vocabulary in context—reading actual passages where words appear repeatedly reinforces retention far better than flashcards alone. Many tutors recommend combining spaced repetition (reviewing words at increasing intervals) with active reading practice, so you're encountering vocabulary in authentic classical texts. This dual approach helps words stick and shows you how they function grammatically.
Becoming conversationally competent with Ancient Greek generally requires 600-750 hours of study—similar to other classical languages—though "proficiency" depends on your goal. For a high school course, students typically reach solid comprehension of introductory texts within one academic year (150-180 hours of instruction plus practice). For AP Classical Greek preparation or advanced reading of complex texts like Plato or Homer, most students benefit from 2-3 years of study. Personalized tutoring accelerates learning by targeting your specific gaps and providing intensive, focused practice that classroom instruction alone often can't match.
Look for tutors with demonstrated expertise in Ancient Greek language and classical literature—ideally those with a background in Classics, Greek studies, or ancient philology. Strong qualifications include experience teaching high school or AP Classical Greek, familiarity with major classical texts, and the ability to explain complex grammatical concepts clearly. It's also valuable to find tutors who understand how to scaffold learning from foundational grammar through translation of authentic texts. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who can assess your current level and create a personalized learning plan aligned with your course requirements or broader academic goals.
AP Classical Greek (offered through the AP program) requires students to translate unseen passages from classical authors—primarily Homer's Iliad and selections from other canonical texts. Preparation focuses on building strong foundational grammar, expanding vocabulary, and developing strategic translation skills for timed settings. The exam assesses both accuracy and comprehension of context and meaning. Personalized tutoring helps by providing intensive practice with authentic texts at increasing difficulty levels, building speed and confidence with sight translation, and identifying your specific grammar weak spots for targeted review. Tutors can also simulate exam conditions to help you develop effective pacing strategies.
Ancient Greek provides foundational insight into Western philosophy, literature, democracy, and culture—knowledge that enriches understanding across humanities, law, medicine, and science. Studying Ancient Greek also develops strong analytical and language skills that transfer to other academic areas and standardized testing. For Miami students, Ancient Greek offers academic distinction, particularly for college applications; it demonstrates intellectual curiosity and commitment to rigorous classical study. Additionally, understanding Greek roots and etymology strengthens English vocabulary and reading comprehension. Whether you're pursuing Classics in college or simply deepening your cultural education, Ancient Greek tutoring can make the material more accessible and help you progress confidently.
