I'm a coterminal master's student at Stanford University in California majoring in Computer Science (Biocomputation). Throughout high school and college, I've taken many courses in computer science, the life sciences (biology and chemistry), and math; and I've been through a lot of standardized tests. For computer science in particular, I have a lot of experience writing software in Python and C++ for AI and systems classes, and I'll be interning as a software engineer at Facebook this summer. I got a lot of great tips and mentorship from tutors along the way, and would love to pass along what I know!

I am a graduate of the University of Kentucky with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a minor in Art Studio. I am currently working toward my Masters of Arts in Game Development at the Savannah College of Art and Design. I am deeply passionate about helping students unleash their full potential. Witnessing the "aha" moments when they grasp a challenging concept is very rewarding. I tutor a range of subjects from computer science principles and programming languages (C, C++, Java, etc.) to game development in Unity and 3D art in various software.
I'm eager to teach students how to make connections and understand any part of the world they need!
I am currently a rising senior at the University of Kentucky. I am working towards my Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in math and neuroscience. I have been tutoring students from elementary to high school for four years in math. I enjoy working with students, of course to provide academic support, but also to build an environment that encourages them to think outside the box and feel comfortable in doing so. I do tutor high school chemistry, but my primary focus is on various levels of math. From my experience, teaching mathematical concepts can be challenging without being able to adapt to the strengths of weaknesses of every individual. I believe it is crucial that students are given an opportunity to learn that adheres to their individual characteristics. Aside from academia, I enjoy staying physically active, volunteering throughout my community, and being a huge sports fanatic.
I am 22 years old and just graduated from the University of Kentucky with a double degree in French and Biochemistry. I have been a tutor for over a year now at UK's tutoring center. I believe that anyone can learn anything with enough practice and encouragement, and I love helping students overcome challenges and gain more self-confidence!
I am a graduate of UofL with a BS degree in Biochemistry and minor in Biology, heading to medical school at UVA this fall. I have spent 5 semesters as a teaching assistant for the Chemistry Department, spending three semesters teaching general chemistry and two semesters teaching organic chemistry. I have also spent a year as a small-group tutor, helping individual students through tough chemistry topics. While I have a strong background in biology, I am most passionate about tutoring chemistry I love its order, set in rules and mathematics. Outside of academics, I spend my time outdoors, bouldering, or playing couch co-op video games.
I am pursuing a B.S. degree in Neuroscience at the University of Kentucky that I will successfully complete in the Fall of 2020. I have tutored a wide range of students, both my peers and younger, in mostly STEM related fields. Although I tutor in a few different subjects, the subjects I am most passionate about are College level Biology, Organic Chemistry, and Biochemistry. Learning about a difficult topic may seem challenging at times, but I believe that everyone has the ability and motivation to successfully tackle difficult concepts with some help!
I am medical student attending the University of Kentucky. My experience tutoring has both informal and formal components. Informally, I have tutored fellow students in classes that we share. Formally, I teach an organic chemistry recitation at UK. Subjects that I tutor are organic chemistry, mathematics, and biology. I do not have a favorite subject to tutor because I find there to be something very interesting about each subject. My philosophy to teaching is to look at it with the perspective of an enjoyable intellectual conversation. Learning is life-long so let us find the enjoyment in learning. My hobbies outside of academia include listening to music, cooking, and badminton.
I am an energetic, positive, 26-year-old teacher who graduated with my MFA from the University of Notre Dame in 2017. I am currently teaching Second Grade, but have extensive and varied teaching experience, having taught students of all ages, even university level! I also have experience working with students with behavior and learning differences. It is my goal to make all of my students feel encouraged, heard, motivated, and successful.
I am a graduate of Rice University with prior teaching and tutoring experience focusing on middle school/high school math. I have been working with Varsity Tutors since 2017 and tutoring in math since I was in High School. I enjoy tutoring as a means of imparting knowledge on to others and find no better feeling than when a student is able to fully comprehend a concept and replicate that knowledge on their own.
I am currently studying International business at Tamkang University in Taipei, Taiwan. I have studied Chinese for 1.5 years. I am able to speak on a conversational level. To be more specific, I have tested TOCFL level 3/B1. I am a TEFL certified English teacher. I have spent the past 3 years traveling the world and teaching English/tutoring basic math and science. My students range from teaching English to basic/advanced adults in Greece, private tutoring the children of a very wealthy family in Beijing, private clients in Taiwan, to clients online as well as teaching at a school in Taiwan. I truly love teaching and tutoring. I believe it is a very rewarding experience. There are times when students don't understand what they are learning, this is inevitable; but the moment that the student grasps the concept is very rewarding. At that moment I know that I am actually helping this student and they are grasping the content. This is my favorite part of teaching.
I am most passionate about teaching anything within the Arts (e.g. Literature), French language and culture, and the purer side of Mathematics, where the abstractions of numbers give us the freedom to do with them what we will. I also love helping students work their way through the daunting task of preparing for standardized tests. I have often found that my past students have gotten tangled in the problems that have been set out for them, and I have always found success in teaching the conceptual framework behind these problems, so that they learn to find solutions by whatever means they prefer. As indicated by my degrees at the beginning, I am incredibly passionate about film and film studies I am a huge movie buff. But perhaps the most important thing I can say about myself is that I don't believe that any subject is out of reach for any student. It's just about finding a way through the jargon to something that makes sense.
During high school I found that I really enjoyed chemistry. This pushed me to pursue and obtain multiple degrees in chemistry. I obtained my Bachelor's and Master's degree from the University of Idaho. While I was an undergraduate I was lucky enough to conduct research on the synthesis of new organic molecules for use in pharmaceutical research. During my Master's degree I conducted research for two years on main group and early transition metal polymerization catalysts. The title of my Master's thesis is "Synthesis and Reactivity of Bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)aluminum Complexes". I then moved to the midwest and spent time in Iowa City and Chicago during my Ph.D. studies. I was awarded a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Chicago and the title of my dissertation is "Understanding Structure/Reactivity Trends in Palladium(II) Polymerization Catalysts containing Heterocyclic Donor Ligands". The time I spent doing my doctoral research allowed me to pursue the love I have for the synthesis of organic molecules and also explore the reactivity of transition metal complexes that incorporate these molecules. I gained a desire to understand how chemistry works on a fundamental, mechanistic level. It is this focus on the details that allows me to look at chemical reactions and help others to understand how they work. I have been a tutor, teaching assistant for both lectures and laboratories, and a professor during my career as a chemist. I tutored students in general chemistry and organic chemistry as an undergraduate. As both a graduate student and professor I taught both organic chemistry lectures and labs and helped students in one-on-one meetings as well as review sessions. I am a tutor for middle school and high school science. I am able to tutor multiple areas of chemistry including high school and college chemistry and organic chemistry. My favorite subject is chemistry with a particular love for organic chemistry. I feel like I was born to put molecules together, especially carbon-carbon bonds, and I think of chemistry as really just molecular Legos that I am fortunate enough to spent my days working with. I love synthesizing new molecules but I am challenged intellectually on a daily basis to find and understand the applications for the chemistry I develop in the areas of industrial green chemistry and clinical chemistry. I believe the work I do has made me a patient person who has learned to explain the chemistry I pursue to a broad audience. This has shaped my teaching philosophy as I have grown more mature in my understanding of the chemical sciences. I am patient and search for multiple explanations of the subject material. I am aware that I am an expert in chemistry but if the person I am helping has not gained a better understanding of chemistry after working with me then I have not been successful. I am hands on with regards to leading by example and showing someone how I would solve a problem. I may not be able to impart the same love I have for chemistry in a particular student but if they see how much I enjoy the material I hope I will inspire them to continue to try and master the subject themselves. I am a big believer in having interests and hobbies outside of my work in chemistry. When I was growing up, I lived in many different places in the United States so I love traveling within the US as well as the world. My travels often inspire new thoughts and solutions for problems I might be encountering at work. By getting away for an issue I find that an answer can appear in my thoughts when I am distracted and not focused on the roadblocks that often appear in my work. I am often accused of "thinking about molecules" when I am supposed to be relaxing if I look distracted. Some of my best ideas have come to me when wondering around a plaza in Mexico or Spain. At home, I enjoy watching Manchester United, riding my bike, running, listening to my very eclectic music collection and gardening when the weather cooperates. I believe I am a very inquisitive person and so I am open to learning new things and going to new places for experiences that I have not had before.
I'm not teaching kids the importance of thinking outside the box, I really enjoy being active and working out. In high school, I played basketball and volleyball competitively, which carried over into a lifelong love of fitness and health. Somewhat contradictorily, I also love cooking (and eating), and will be participating in a recreational Culinary Certificate course at Cincinnati State in the fall. Not to be a total cliche, but my third favorite hobby is traveling. In college, I spent nine weeks backpacking through Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. My next trip on the books is to Austin, Texas, to experience the Austin City Limits Music and Cultural Festival. If I'm not cooking at home, eating a strange food on a foreign continent, or trying to work off the calories from both those endeavors, you can usually find me hanging out at the dog park with my border collie.
I am currently in my fourth year teaching high school Spanish 1 and 2. I graduated with my B.A. in corporate and organizational communication in Spanish from Western Kentucky University in May, 2018. I recently obtained my Master of Arts in Teaching in Spanish from WKU in May, 2021. I tutor Spanish, PRAXIS Spanish, and ACT English and Reading. Spanish is undoubtedly my favorite subject to tutor as I love helping others better themselves through language.
I enjoy helping students by explaining concepts in ways that make sense to them, by eliciting their feedback and tailoring my approach to their individual needs, and by conveying my enthusiasm for the learning process. It's great to see the light come on and to see their progress. I have an undergraduate degree in Politics from Princeton, a post-baccalaureate certificate in Quantitative Studies for Finance from Columbia, and an MBA from London Business School. I served as an officer in the Marine Corps and have worked in a number of academic and private-sector positions. I founded and am currently running an analytics-focused consulting practice.
I am a rising sophomore at the University of Kentucky pursuing a degree in Agricultural Biotechnology and Plant Science. I have a strong background in science, but also excel in english.
I am a graduate of the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. Since graduation, I have tutored high school students in algebra, geometry, precalculus, and statistics; adults in college looking for remedial help as well as standard college level math including calculus, differential equations, and discrete math. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for standardized tests, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) prepping for the mathematics and quantitative reasoning sections. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading US History and STEM textbooks, playing my Nintendo Switch, and the odd game of Catan.
I am a graduate of the University of Louisville, holding Bachelor's Degrees in English and Political Science, minors in Spanish and Social Change, and a Certificate in Peace, Justice, and Conflict Transformation. Although my major studies were not specifically within education, I discovered that my heart belongs in the classroom, as I love seeing students discover their strengths and skills. I hold strong to having a "growth mindset" and being a continuous learner. I believe in the power of education to empower all students. I am passionate about helping others achieve to the best of their abilities!
I am no longer needed.
I am most passionate about helping students excel in reading and writing. I try to make my tutoring sessions as conversational as possible; I believe that both student and tutor should learn together. What I hope to achieve in my sessions is instilling confidence in my students. When students feel confident in themselves, they will be prepared to succeed both in and outside of the classroom.
I am a graduate of a liberal arts university, with majors in both Spanish and Studio Arts. As a Teach for America alumni I have worked as a Spanish and Art teacher in elementary, middle, and high school settings in both public and private schools. Additionally I have worked with nonprofit organizations to provide arts education. I primarily tutor Spanish, English, Reading and ACT prep. I believe everyone deserves access to a quality education, and I look forward to working with you to meet and exceed your goals!
Hi, my name is Lawrence. I have been teaching physics and astronomy at the university level for over 20 years. I know how difficult learning physics can be. I emphasize the concepts first and then simplify the steps needed to find the correct solution to a problem. I am very patient and understanding. I am sure that I can help build you into a confident problem solver. I have experience teaching a culturally diverse student population as I have taught at several universities including the University of Alaska Anchorage and the University of Hawaii Hilo. Everyone can learn physics if they have the right work-ethic and are properly instructed. The most important key to succeeding is practice, practice, practice. You can do it! I have a PH.D. from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. My research was funded by a NASA PIDDP Grant and by the Alabama Space Grant Consortium. I have presented my research at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference and my Dissertation "Mossbauer Spectroscopy of K-T Boundary Clays from North American and European Sites" was published in Meteoritics. Although, I loved research my dream was always to help educate students in physics which I have enjoyed doing for many years. With over 20 years' experience ,I can help you!
I'm looking forward to putting my knowledge to work for you!
I am interested in working for Varsity Tutors because I enjoy helping others learn new concepts and progress in whatever they are struggling with. I have significant experience tutoring with a variety of age levels and would be delighted to have an opportunity to work with students through this opportunity.
I am a current junior at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky. Upon my graduation in 2022, I will be dual majoring in Environmental Studies and Asian Studies with a focus in Chinese. I received the Chinese language scholarship, as well. I have tutored students in Chinese ranging from middle school level through college level. While I am able to tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Chinese, English, and essay editing. My tutoring style is kind and patient, and I do my best to make every lesson engaging and entertaining. I am passionate about helping students, specifically when they are learning a language, because I want students to have the confidence to use a language that could be vastly different from the one's their friends and parents may have studied. This confidence will carry them forward in not only studying said language, but other areas of study, as well. In my spare time, I love to read YA and fantasy books, create wire sculptures, play tennis, and watch movies with my family.
I have completed 4 years of medical school with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and a Masters of Science in Physiology and Medicine. I have experience with bacterial research, a thesis in philosophy of science, and a strong background in standardized testing. I have 12 years of experience with editing, curriculum design, and publishing. I look to help others succeed, with the belief every student can achieve when given the proper support.
I am a junior communication sciences and disorders major at Brescia University in Owensboro Kentucky. My current G.P.A. is a 3.78. I am involved on campus and I am a student leader of multiple organizations. I am also member of the Alpha Chi Honors Society at my University. Some of my tutoring experience includes tutoring elementary and middle school students. I also have volunteered to help tutor at the local refugee center. Something that I feel will help me with tutoring is that growing up with a learning disability I had to learn to adapt my studying techniques to best fit me as well as learned persistence. I know how frustrating it can me to struggle in something and I want to be that to guide you to do your best. I like to adjust my tutoring techniques to specifically around my clients to help them improve. I hope you consider me to be your tutor because I would love to help you the ways many others have helped me in the past.
While I may not have professional experience in tutoring or teaching, that is definitely not the case in the literal sense. All my life I've been called upon by my teachers and professors to help the students in class that struggled, and I loved to do so. I realized that while things came easily to me, it was not always the case for my fellow classmates, so I happily helped them pick up the slack. As long as someone wanted to learn, I was always available to help them out. My love of learning I tried to engender in them, with mixed results. First, off I have a degree in Mathematics, graduated with a 4.0 (in a 4.0 GPA system), and was on the Dean's List. I scored well enough on my AP Calculus exam in High School that I was able to skip the initial courses in College. And when I made it to college, I excelled at those courses too, acing all work and tests. (Note the similarities in my subjects of ability, I'm pretty evenly skilled in both fields) First, off I have a degree in Physics, graduated with a 4.0 (in a 4.0 GPA system), and was on the Dean's List. On top of that, I was at the top of my class in all my mathematics courses and was known to help other students when they had difficulties. I was accepted into classes that were usually not available to my grade level due to my aptitude and interest in the subject. (Note the similarities in my subjects of ability, I'm pretty evenly skilled in both fields) If you want to learn, just like I did, or if you just want help with something that might not quite "click" for you, well I'm happy to lend my services and help you excel just like I did, when someone helped me.
I am an Honors Scholar graduate of the University of Louisville. I received my Bachelors of Science in Business Administration in Accountancy and had minors in Economics and Psychology. In the fall of 2022, I will be heading to the University of Georgia to pursue a Law degree. I came into the tutoring world 8 years ago by teaching my sister and her friends. I slowly started getting other tutoring opportunities through Mathnasium, Wyzant, and the League Pro KY. Through these platforms, I was able to teach students from grades K-12 in subjects like Math, English, SAT, ACT, Public Speaking, Economics, Psychology, and others. Growing up, I have always had a passion for working with kids and helping them get the opportunity to learn and discover new fields. I started up and coached the Mock Trial team at Meyzeek Middle School to satisfy this motive. As Mock Trial Coach, I was able to introduce the legal field with middle school students, all by improving their public speaking skills, confidence, and legal knowledge. In my experience working with kids, it was really rewarding to see them learn more in their subjects and overcome the challenges they had prior to their tutoring journey. I know how important it is to have the right person guide you through your journey since I have been through the same phase myself. I try my best to do whatever I can to help students reach their goals all by having fun!

I have over 2 years of teaching experience, including personal, middle school classroom, and TA'ing classes at the University of Kentucky. I have a passion for making learning enjoyable and easy as possible.
I'm a current junior at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky. I'm passionate about the many wonders of the world on which the physical sciences pontificate. I am in the process of earning my Bachelor's of Science in Chemical Physics with a minor in French Language and Culture. I love to work with others and I'm excited to have the opportunity to learn with you!
I started tutoring students in math during the pandemic. I saw that many were falling behind all over the USA and I wanted to help out.
I am a recent graduate from the University of Kentucky with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering on the pre-medicine track. I am particularly interested in chemistry and physiology, as well as helping students to prepare for standardized tests. I enjoy helping people achieve their goals while having fun at the same time! Outside of school, I compete in the equestrian sport of Eventing with my horse, George. I look forward to meeting you!
I am also a visual artist and have displayed works at an art gallery in Pennsylvania, where I grew up.
I am passionate about helping students become confident, thoughtful readers, writers, and speakers. With graduate training in communication and experience teaching public speaking to college students, I focus on clear explanations, practical feedback, and step-by-step support. I help students strengthen essays, organize ideas, improve academic writing, and build the confidence to express themselves clearly.
I am a Yale undergraduate student majoring in American Studies! I am interested in education, specifically the subjects history and social studies, because I believe it is very important to have a holistic understanding of the world and communities we live in. I am interested in reading and writing.
I am a life-long scholar with a passion for people. With a computer science background and a master's degree in communication (from Auburn University), I am well versed in tutoring across a wide variety of subjects. I bring to the table the knowledge and experience I have gained in the past 10 years of teaching and publishing - as well as an aptitude for standardized tests - and a willingness to actually help students succeed. I do not believe in students "falling behind," I believe in meeting students at where they are.
