Elizabeth

Biology Tutor • +14 Subjects

I enjoy helping struggling students overcome their academic challenges and improving their overall academic self confidence and overcoming obstacles. I enjoy showing students how their personal interests can be tied to the subject at hand and help them see how it is important to their real life, and not just about the grade. I find this helps to spark a true interest in understanding of the subject, thus inspiring their inner desire to learn! I am a graduate of Eastern Kentucky University with my Bachelor of Science in Agriculture with a focus on Greenhouse Management and Production and a minor in Psychology. Currently I am a substitute teacher for K-8 in all subject areas, including children with special needs. I work with students of various ages, abilities and disabilities. Previously, I have tutored students in all subject areas, as well as adults in preparation of successfully taking their GED, specializing in mathematics. I have also worked with adults to improve their English as an ESL instructor. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I specialize in math and science. In my spare time I have many interests including; sustainable gardening and food production, outdoor recreation, art, and reading non-fiction.

Sena

ACT Writing Tutor • +15 Subjects

Hi there!! My name is Sena Omoruyi and I would love to help you or your loved one with achieving their academic goals. I have seven years of teaching experience. I can help with Computers, English, Reading, Psychology, and Math! Specifically, I mostly tutor elementary through middle school math, algebra I, GED, ACT, SAT, psychology, and all forms of reading/english. But I am open to tutoring so much more, just ask :) I am a graduate from Miami University with a BA in Psychology, premedical studies, and neuroscience. Very reliable and responsible. I am currently in my third year of medical school.Big people person and love dedicating my time to helping those become the best they can be. When a student I'm working with experiences that first "Eureka!" moment, I get so happy. I'm in medical school right now, so recurring sessions for up to four hours per week has proven to be an appropriate limit for me and my students. However, I am more than happy and willing to alter that limit for any student who needs it. I have a ton of tutoring and teaching assistance experience. I was an undergraduate teaching assistant and k-6 tutor for seven years at the same time.Do not hesitate to message me if you have any concerns :) I totally understand what it's like to not do well even though your work effort and enthusiasm say otherwise. I only graduated university three years ago, so I am still very well versed and familiar with the nuances of school and college. I am very open-minded and champion ALL people. I'm an advocate for everyone and do not discriminate. I have zero tolerance for the exclusion and disrespect of others. I have a special place in my heart for those who simply want to try. I will be not only a tutor, but someone you can always rely on when needed most :)Have any questions? Ask me anything!

Kristina

Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects

I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering. I currently work as a clinical engineer in one of the local hospitals where I am part of a team that manages the medical equipment program. I have previously tutored college-aged students in a variety of math and science subjects. Math and biology are my favorite to teach. I enjoy taking more complex theories and information and scaling them down to ideas we use everyday. I also use analogies and I am a visual learner, so I employ the use of drawings, charts, and graphs extensively. In my free time I enjoy staying active in the gym and outside with golf and running.

Alexander

Biology Tutor • +15 Subjects

I'm Alex, a 28-year old with a passion for teaching science and for helping students conquer standardized tests. Since I began working as a physics, math, and SAT tutor with Varsity Tutors in 2011, I've found it incredibly rewarding to help my students develop sustainable study habits and realize their academic potential. I believe that a student's performance is largely influenced by their weekly study routine, and I make it a priority to help my students figure out a process that works well for them.For a bit of background, I graduated from Amherst College with a B.A. in Architecture & Environmental Studies. After college, I received a Fulbright Scholarship to study architecture at Cambridge University, where I got my Master's degree in Architecture. Due to some personal exposure I had to family illness, I decided to switch paths and pursue a career in medicine, and I'll be applying to medical school next year.I've been helping students with physics, math, and SAT prep since college, and more recently I've been focusing on tutoring pre-medical subjects (Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, Physics, Psychology/Sociology) and MCAT preparation. I understand how intimidating the mighty MCAT can feel. I help my students master both the content and strategy of the test, develop manageable study routines, and build the confidence they need to perform to their maximum potential on test day.I scored a 2350 (99th percentile) on my SAT and a 520 (98th percentile) on my MCAT, and my undergraduate GPA was 3.87 (overall) / 4.0 (science).I'm happy to meet up in Philly / suburbs or meet with you online. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
