Pursuing a language citation in Spanish at Harvard, Gabriela approaches the language with both academic rigor and conversational ease. She digs into the grammar fundamentals — verb conjugations, subjunctive mood, pronoun placement — while also building the kind of everyday fluency that makes students feel confident actually speaking. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that balance works.

Samantha minored in Spanish at UCLA, which means she's studied the language through advanced grammar, literature, and composition — not just introductory vocab lists. She unpacks tricky concepts like subjunctive mood triggers, ser versus estar in context, and preterite/imperfect distinctions by grounding each rule in how native speakers actually use it.

While Spanish isn't Deanna's primary academic focus, her experience living and studying internationally — including doctoral work at Oxford — has given her real comfort with language learning as a process. She brings structured study techniques to vocabulary acquisition, verb conjugation, and conversational practice, making the subject feel less like memorization and more like skill-building.

Having taught Spanish from level 1 through level 4, Miguel knows exactly where students tend to hit walls — the subjunctive mood, ser versus estar, preterite versus imperfect. He explains grammar through context and conversation rather than isolated conjugation drills, so students internalize the patterns they need for both exams and real communication.

While Spanish isn't Ava's primary language focus, her background in Latin gives her an unusually strong grasp of Romance language grammar — verb conjugation patterns, noun-adjective agreement, and sentence structure all carry over. She's particularly effective at breaking down the logic behind tense usage so students can construct sentences confidently rather than guessing.

Economics majors spend their days reading models, interpreting data, and learning how systems follow rules — skills Vicquaja applies directly to picking apart Spanish grammar, where verb conjugations and sentence structures follow their own internal logic. Her triple minor in Mathematics, Psychology, and Dance also means she's comfortable switching between analytical and creative modes, which is useful when a student needs both the rule behind the subjunctive and the feel for when it sounds right. Rated 4.7 by students.

I am a recent graduate and current graduate student from Cornell University. I received my Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in Biology and Society with a concentration in Health and Humanities and a minor in Nutritional Sciences. I am currently pursuing a Masters in Public Health concentrating in Food Systems and Health. During my undergrad, I cofounded an organization called Cornell College and Career Readiness Initiative (CCRI). I am still actively involved in this program serving as a mentor and tutor for local high school students in SAT prep, high school English, Math and Science courses, and in college essay writing/admissions.

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'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 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.
