I am a graduate of Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with Distinction in 2015. Since graduation, I was a physics/chemistry teacher and soccer coach at a private school in Virginia for a year, where I led the soccer team to an undefeated season. Before teaching and coaching professionally, I was a Teaching Assistant for the Cornell Math and Physics Departments, where I taught many subjects including calculus, mechanics, electromagnetism. Throughout my time at Cornell and as a teacher, I tutored subjects ranging from the SAT to AP Physics and Algebra II, which is where my true talents lie: in small group or one-on-one settings where I can give students the full attention they deserve and tailor my approach specifically to their learning styles. This is why I am now pursuing tutoring as a part-time occupation at Varsity Tutors. I embrace teaching all math and science subjects, especially physics and calculus, at both the college and high school level and will go above and beyond to make sure all of my students succeed, according to their definition of success. In my spare time, I enjoy playing league soccer, basketball, tennis and guitar, and also like to travel and see as much of the world as I can.

College-level business courses demand more than surface understanding; professors expect students to analyze case studies, interpret financial data, and defend strategic recommendations.

He approaches each course by identifying the analytical framework the professor is testing and drilling that specifically.

His cross-disciplinary training means he can connect business theory to the math and science driving it.

Marketing communications is one of those fields that touches every corner of a business curriculum — branding strategy, consumer behavior, organizational messaging, market research — and Brenda holds a master's degree in Integrated Marketing Communications from IIT.

She also spent years as a professional writer and editor, which sharpens the case-study writing and business communication skills that professors grade heavily.
