The jump from arithmetic to algebraic thinking is one of the biggest conceptual leaps in a student's math education, and it happens right in middle school. Ruby eases that transition by teaching students to translate word problems into expressions and equations step by step, turning intimidating variables into something intuitive. Her 1540 SAT score speaks to the kind of mathematical fluency she brings to every session.

I am currently working towards a doctorate in medicine from New Jersey Medical School. Throughout high school, college, and graduate school, I have tutored students ranging in age from elementary school to college freshmen in a variety of subjects particularly math and science. My favorite subject to tutor is math because it is very methodical and visual. Having a passion to help others, I am drawn to tutoring for the opportunity to share my knowledge with others. My family and friends have described me as being patient, compassionate, and personableall of the qualities that I believe I bring to my students. Outside of tutoring, I like Notre Dame football, dogs (especially my family's German Shepherd!), yoga, cooking, and reading.

Switching from a politics major to computer science at NYU gave Keerthana a fresh perspective on how to make ratios, proportions, and basic geometry feel relevant to students who don't yet see themselves as "math people." She connects middle school topics like percentages and coordinate graphing to real scenarios — budgeting, mapping, sports stats — so the material sticks. Rated 4.9 by students.

I am a graduate of Columbia University, where I earned a degree in Biomedical Engineering. My academic journey, coupled with my diverse professional experiences in project management, consulting, and teaching, has fueled my passion for education and helping students unlock their potential. Over the years, I have worked as a TA, guided students in STEM subjects, and currently tutor a variety of topics, including mathematics, science, and SAT preparation. Among the subjects I tutor, I find immense joy in teaching science and mathematics. Breaking down complex concepts into relatable, digestible ideas and watching students gain confidence in their abilities is incredibly rewarding. My tutoring philosophy is rooted in patience, adaptability, and collaborationI strive to meet students where they are and tailor each session to their unique needs and learning styles. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring the world through travel, baking creative treats, and indulging in thought-provoking films. These hobbies enrich my perspective and creativity, which I often bring into my sessions to make learning engaging and relevant. Education is a gateway to empowerment, and I'm dedicated to helping my students walk through that gateway with confidence and curiosity.

Fractions, ratios, and proportional reasoning click faster when a student sees how they actually connect — not as isolated chapters but as tools that build on each other. Dilruba teaches middle school math with the kind of structured problem-solving she uses in her university courses, breaking multi-step problems into manageable pieces so students gain real confidence with integers, decimals, and early algebraic thinking.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.

I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
