I am a recent graduate of Stanford University with a BS in Chemical Engineering. During my time at Stanford, I tutored high school students in subjects ranging from non-AP and AP math and science courses to ACT/SAT test prep. Since graduating and before heading off to grad school, I have been tutoring full-time. In my free time, I love to watch sports, play sports, cook, and play with my dog.In my 5 years of tutoring, I have worked with over 200 different clients. This has allowed me to see the wide range of learning styles students have and has allowed me to develop a flexible teaching approach that will excite and help every type of student. I do not just get the homework done with the student or show the student how to do a problem. I go step by step to ensure the student understands why we approach the topic the way we do. Not only does it help the student frame the purpose of the topic, but it also helps the student commit that topic to memory long-term.Come work with me, and you'll be sure to see long-term results!

I am a 30 year old certified mathematics teacher for grades 7-12. I did my undergraduate work at Ohio State and then went on to receive a Masters in Education from Cleveland State University. I am currently not working as a teacher (looking for the right job and situation). I have a deep love for mathematics and therefore always try to keep my craft sharp. I would love to share my passion and work to help any and all students understand and appreciate whatever level of mathematics they are struggling with. Subject wise I also have strong interest and passion for history. I have a Bachelors degree in History form the Ohio State University. I do plan to pursue certification to teach History at the high school level to match my mathematics certification. I feel confident in both of these subjects. I am also strong test taker and would be of service helping with test strategies and techniques for any of the standardized tests.Personally I am a patient and understanding person. I strive to teach the concepts of the subjects I am studying. I find those that can comprehend and teach the underlying concepts of the problems are more likely to understand and remember the subject long term, which is the goal. This extra depth of knowledge may seem daunting at first but can lead to a richer and more rewarding outcome. I hope to share practical tips and tricks alongside deeper understanding so that any student can feel confident that any problem can be solved correctly ad efficiently. I look to provide a calm, supportive environment in which your academic goals can be reached.I have tutored and taught in various settings over the last half decade. As mentioned above my specialty is mathematics. In my spare time I am a film enthusiast. I enjoy attending the Wexner Center or Gateway Theater or Drexel Theater or streaming content at home. I am also interested in great literature and television when not at the cinema. I am a jovial person and try to make any interactions calm and fun for all. I hope to hear from any interested parties.

Hello, my name is Miguel. Thank you for browsing my profile. I hope to inspire confidence in whatever subject matter we approach together, boosting student confidence in academic areas and beyond.My teaching philosophy is to use extensive questioning to help students forge their own pathway. Naturally, questions from students are encouraged and valued during all of my sessions. I emphasize a strategy based approach to studying, and keep an updated list of strategies that my students are finding helpful. I prefer to test mastery of material via a role reversal in which I see if the student can teach me how to correctly solve problems and arrive at the correct answers. In my opinion, there is no better way to assess the depth and breadth of one's knowledge than to try to convey it to others.The study habits I hope to pass on to my students are ones that have benefited me throughout my educational career. I graduated salutatorian of my high school and won third place overall in Academic Decathlon state competition my senior year. My academic performance allowed me to attend both Rice University and the University of Texas at Austin, the latter at which I earned a 3.7 GPA, a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, and a Bachelor of Arts in English.As for pertinent work experience prior to Varsity Tutoring, I have tutored middle school aged children in English for a year as a part of the PAIR program and helped graduate students from foreign countries practice their conversational English.Please feel invited to contact me and/or ask me your questions. I am able to travel to most of Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs, and my schedule is flexible. I look forward to finding times that both of us can work together. Best regards, and may you achieve your educational goals.

I have 18 years of experience teaching Math and Statistics at the college level. I was involved in the Gateway toCollege Program in which we helped students who were struggling to finish high school earn a High School diploma, as well as earn college credits toward a higher level degree. I have also tutored math within the community to all age groups, and am currently a Guest Teacher in our school district to all age levels. I have coached girls sports for the past 18 years, coaching my daughter's lacrosse and field hockey teams from third grade to high school. My passion is to help kids learn and achieve at the highest level possible. I have always tried to make math less "scary" to those students who struggle and to help them to overcome any math anxiety they have. When I teach, I allow the students to try to come to an "Aha!" moment with productive struggle, but step in when help is needed.

I am currently a rising sophomore in the College of Arts and Science at New York University (NYU). I'm a pre-health student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Neural Science. I have the most experience tutoring at the high school level; I actively participated in three tutoring programs at my high school and was appointed through my academic performance. Almost all math subjects, especially Algebra and Calculus, are really enjoyable for me to tutor because I love sharing my experiences and seeing students gain confidence in their abilities! Chemistry is a close second mostly because I am currently studying the material for the third time since my sophomore year of high school.I want my students to feel comfortable telling me their expectations for what exactly they hope to gain from me and our session. The student's learning style has the highest priority, and I experiment with teaching methods to see what works best. Every academic discipline equally contributes to the development of a well-rounded and aware individual, so I try to communicate that the knowledge each student stands to gain is incredibly important for their present and future.When I'm not in class, I am actively involved in my college's student council and mentoring program. Also, I enjoy trying new restaurants, exercising, reading, and listening to music.

I am a graduate of the Universidad del Valle, Colombia. I received my Bachelor in Chemical Engineering. Since graduation, I have been living in the United States where I finished my Associate in Sciences focused in Mathematics at Union County College. I have been working at the Academic Learning Center of this college for about two years and have tutored different levels of Mathematics and Spanish. My experience as a tutor has been incredible. I enjoy working with students who care about their education. It is really satisfying to see how independent students can become through the tutoring process. I believe education is the key to having a better quality of life. In my free, time I enjoy taking dancing classes and reading.

Hello! I'm a educator and visual artist with many years of experience teaching and tutoring high school and college students. I have a BA in Political Science from New College of Florida and a MFA in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design. While I'm a photographer by trade, I also have a passion for and expertise in Math and the Natural Sciences -- as well as French and Spanish, having studied and worked in both Paris and Central America. While I'm proficient now, I struggled with both languages early on, and understand the challenges of both starting a new language and in moving from a conversational to a more proficient level. I'm also available for ACT and SAT test prep -- and work especially well with students who are visual learners (though I have a wide range of materials and resources for all styles of learning!).

I graduated from Georgia Tech in Dec. 2011 with a B.S. with a 4.0 GPA in Mechanical Engineering. I plan on pursuing my Master's Degree starting this Fall semester.My prior tutoring experiences include tutoring the entire range of high school math at a private school as well as tutoring fellow college classmates at Georgia Tech in Statistics.I am passionate about learning and believe the ability to understanding a particular topic is not something we are wired with when we are born, but rather is the culmination of hours upon hours of training how to simply think and learn.My strength in tutoring is breaking a problem down piece by piece to the core fundamental concepts and later reassembling the chain of ideas to the student making sure he or she understands every link along the way and exactly what role it plays in the bigger picture.In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, learning new things, exercising, and when the weather is nice taking my motorcycle out for a spin!

I am an engineering graduate student working on my PhD in biomedical engineering. My project is focused on studying the effect the extra cellular environment has on glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. During my studies I have been a teaching assistant for several classes and a tutor for student athletes. I am very experienced tutoring and teaching a wide variety of subjects including all levels of mathematics, introductory biology, chemistry and physics, and many engineering classes. I work best with students who are willing to learn and engage. I think students best learn working through problems and working with steadily increasing challenges. I subscribe to the adage, "don't practice until you get it right, practice until you can't get it wrong."
