I am an experienced tutor with a focus on coaching people for standardized tests. I graduated from Yale magna cum laude with a degree in philosophy and I've been in Chicago for two years working with the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights on voting and democracy issues. I scored well on my standardized tests (LSAT, ACT, AP Tests-5 on eleven different tests) and like helping other people do the same. Those tests are all beatable, and I think they can even be kind of fun once you start to feel yo...More

I am a recent graduate in Biology/Chemistry, magna cum laude at CUNY. I am entering my 1L year in the fall.

I am a graduate of Deep Springs College: an elite liberal arts program located in Eastern California. Unlike most schools, the admission process to Deep Springs involves writing - and later defending before a panel of staff, faculty and students - seven essays on a variety of subjects including literature, philosophy, and education. Once admitted to Deep Springs, students are typically required to read upwards of 100 pages per day from authors such as Hegel, Joyce, and Thucydides; and to write s...More

I'm currently working towards a J.D. at Columbia Law School. Before joining Varsity Tutors, I tutored the LSAT for a private company, both as a classroom teacher and in one-on-one tutorials. Building off that experience, I will be working for Varsity Tutors, helping people prepare for the LSAT as well as the SAT and the ACT. I have really enjoyed my experience assisting students in test preparation. In my experience, students first approach tests in an ad hoc fashion, and often with a fair bit o...More

I am a recent graduate from at Dartmouth College and I am starting medical school at Weill Cornell Medical School in the Fall. I am an experienced tutor in high school and college English, Psychology, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. Additionally, I tutor for the SHSAT and SAT. I believe that all students are unique individuals, and so I tutor them as such. I cater to each students' learning style.

I am today because of the challenges I have overcome through my childhood and adult life. These challenges helped shape my morals, goals, aspirations and beliefs.

I am working to take advantage of every opportunity I can to develop as a pedagogue. I believe in the value and necessity of education at every level, and I recognize the unique privilege I have to receive such focused and encouraging instruction since my early years in public school. I want to pass those skills and that encouragement on to students who need it as I hone my practice as an instructor.

I am qualified to tutor in a variety of subjects, I am particularly passionate about teaching English literature and language, verbal reasoning, and writing. As a tutor, I love the challenge of adapting to each student's unique needs, and learning what's best for different individuals. Generally, I like to keep tutoring sessions energetic and conversational. In addition to exploring the kinds of learning students are most receptive to, I am dedicated to connecting whatever we study to larger con...More

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, sin...More

I am passionate about, and I hope to help others gain that same opportunity through tutoring. I tutor in English, French, and standardized tests, and especially enjoy helping students think about subjects creatively and from new angles. My largest interest, outside of education, is music. I worked throughout college as a music director at Wesleyan's radio station, and currently work as a producer and staff writer for Afropop Worldwide, a non-profit radio show dedicated to African music and music...More
