I am passionate about helping students learn, reach their goals, and have some fun in the process. I am a speech-language pathologist by training with five years of prior research experience studying language recovery after stroke. I received my Bachelor's degree from Rice University and my Master's at Georgia State University. I have successfully helped students achieve their academic dreams with higher SAT/ACT scores and top-of-the-class grades. My teaching philosophy is student-centered, interactive, and individualized to each student's goals, needs, and strengths.

I am a graduate of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I graduated with honors, majoring in neuroscience and minoring in mathematics, chemistry, and French. I aspire to become a physician, especially a neurologist, since I am kind of obsessed with the brain and our nervous system. For the next year, I will be working part time as a scribe at the Northside Hospitals in Atlanta.
I'm Katia, and I'll be there for your child. I excel in one on one tutoring and I am a substitute teacher with Atlanta Public Schools.
I am passionate about learning and helping others learn, too. Keen to expand educational horizons, my aim in working with students is to help them explore through learning, as well as reach their academic goals. I do this by tailoring teaching styles to each student's specific needs.
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.
I am a graduate of Duke University with a Bachelor of Arts in Latin American History. I recently received my Juris Doctor degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and began my career as an attorney. I am passionate about continuing my work in education through tutoring. I enjoy tutoring many subjects, particularly History, SAT Reading and Writing, College Essays, and Spanish. I love assisting students in implementing simple but effective changes in their preparation for Standardized Tests that show immediate results. I find this motivates students to continue through struggles in their educational pursuits. When I am not working, I enjoy yoga, running, cooking, traveling and playing the cello.
I'm excited to use my experiences as a Harvard grad, bio nerd, high school science teacher, and college prep administrator to help you reach your academic goals!
I am extremely passionate about academics and learning; the value of each was inculcated into me at a very young age. I tutor a variety of subjects largely because I have so many areas of interests and have been privileged enough to pursue knowledge in those areas. I even enjoy tucking away "useless facts"...in fact, those very tidbits got me past the Jeopardy! Online Test and into the Contestant Audition!
I am a college sophomore at Brown University. I've been involved in tutoring and mentoring since high school, and I'm excited to get to continue with that work here on Varsity Tutors! My past experiences include working as an instructor at a math learning center for K-12 students, as well as private tutoring for middle and high school students. I would describe my teaching style as conversational; my goal is always to work with you to find a perspective on a topic that makes sense to you. I find that I like to I emphasize a concept's relevance and applications while providing explanations, as well as by providing useful practice scenarios or past examples.
I am an undergraduate student at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in Neurobiology (B.S.) and minoring in Jazz Studies and Biomedical Physics. While I tutor many areas within math, science, and standardized test preparation, I am most passionate about biology and algebra because of my interest in these subjects as well as my belief in their importance. I have always been the friend who fellow peers go to for guidance with work and because of this, I have learned the value of patience, communication, and empathy in the education process. I firmly believe that every subject I tutor is vital in a student's path to success and a greater understanding of the world, and because of this, I will fully commit myself to making sure my tutees have a solid grasp of the concepts being taught as well as the ability to apply them to real-world situations.
I am here to help you succeed. But what does it mean to succeed? I think success is not simply a matter of knowledge or ability; it is also about attitude and confidence. Through working with me as your tutor, I hope to help you develop your confidence in your abilities and cultivate a positive attitude that allows you to tackle any challenge that comes your way.
I am a recent graduate of Rhodes College, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience with a minor in Chemistry and English. After graduation, I have remained close to academia by auditing classes in the areas of Anatomy and Physiology, Organ Systems, Histology, Embryology, and Neuroscience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects students throughout Sandy Springs, including those attending the area's schools. With a 12.2:1 student-teacher ratio in the community, many students benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction to supplement their classroom learning and get individualized attention on challenging concepts.
Georgia has specific learning standards across math, language arts, science, and social studies that evolve by grade level. Tutors work with Sandy Springs students to master these standards at their own pace, filling gaps and building confidence in areas where classroom instruction alone may not be enough.

Sandy Springs students frequently seek help with math (especially algebra and geometry), English language arts, standardized test prep (SAT/ACT), and science. The specific needs vary by grade level, but personalized tutoring allows tutors to focus on each student's individual challenges rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Your first session is an opportunity for you and the tutor to get to know each other and identify your specific learning goals. The tutor will assess your current understanding, discuss any challenges you're facing in your classes, and create a personalized plan tailored to your needs. This foundation helps ensure that every future session is focused and productive.

Whether you're aiming to boost your score or targeting a specific college, personalized test prep allows tutors to focus on your weak areas rather than reviewing material you've already mastered.
