I am currently working at City Year New York and am tutoring 6th and 7th graders in English and math. I have a lot of experience tutoring and making learning fun for students of all ages! I love relating academics to the real world. Not only can math be exciting (who doesn't love fractions?!), but I know from personal experience that math is absolutely necessary if you want to learn how to budget your money so that you can live in your own apartment or travel across Europe for three months. My g...More

I am a Princeton University graduate, currently based in Brooklyn, NY. I first began tutoring during college, where I worked with students on reading and writing skills and Spanish language. With Varsity Tutors, I am available to tutor these subjects, including college application essay writing, essay editing, and study skills and organization, as well as French and music theory.

I'm living the dream. Reading has always been a passion of mine, and I absolutely love working with books every day. I have worked as an editor, copywriter, and analyst, so I have a very practical understanding of the real-world benefits of reading and writing well. I love sharing my deep appreciation of literature and language with students. On the side, I am also a certified yoga instructor. I like to think that it keeps me flexible, both mentally and physically.

I'm enamored with all things French. It's my first love and my gateway to everything from literature to linguistics. I'm a believer that true passion for what you teach is essential to being a great tutor. It's sometimes easy for students to forget what learning means to them in an often stressful and frustrating world of standardized tests and and final exams, but a helpful tutor can really make the difference by presenting the material in a way that is simple and clear and by approaching it wi...More

I'm currently an MA student in French at Middlebury College, after graduating with my BA from Barnard College at Columbia University in 2014. Overseas, I spent a year at the Sorbonne-Paris. I'm a passionate, patient tutor of both English and French with four years of experience. In both languages, I focus on grammar skills, essay writing, and standardized test preparation, especially the SAT and SAT II. I most often tutor high school and college students, but have found that young children are a...More

I am a rising junior at Washington and Lee University working towards a Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in Poverty and Human Capabilities Studies. These subjects call to me because the skills they cultivate are rooted in people. The takeaway I hope most to gain from it all is the ability to uncover what literature has to say about how we can help people overcome personal, as well as societal, obstacles. My appreciation for books lends itself well to a love of tutoring students in readin...More

I am pursuing a double major in International Relations and Latin American Studies with a minor in Communications. One of the most rewarding aspects of tutoring is learning about new people and connecting with those I wouldn't have the opportunity to meet otherwise. I love to think of tutoring as a mutual learning session, and a mutual sense of success when progress is made. Given that we all come from different backgrounds, I find that I too end up learning new things throughout a session as a ...More

I am a certified New York City high school teacher currently teaching Spanish at a top NYC high school that is well-known for its academic rigor and highly competitive gifted programs. I have taught students at all academic levels including those with learning disabilities and differences, and those who advance to top universities. As part of my career as an educator, I regularly tutor students both from my classes and the larger school community. I have greatly enjoyed the experience of working...More

I am a graduate of Stony Brook University. I doubled majored in both Applied Mathematics and Psychology. I started my journey of tutoring when I was in high school. During my high school years, I started as a volunteer at a tutoring center assisting Kindergarten kids to 3rd graders with Math, English, and Art. Slowly, I became an afterschool tutor and loved the fulfilling feeling after seeing my student's betterment. Moving on to college, I carried on that passion for tutoring and become a Teach...More

I am well aware that hard work pays off. I also know that it is important to recognize when you need extra support in a particular subject or course, and even more important to pursue that help.
