I am good at convincing my students that they will see more rewards from their persistence. I have worked with several students who were scoring in the seventies on tests and quizzes when I started working with them who then began to see dramatic results with scores in the nineties in a fairly short time.

I am excited to become a tutor with Varsity Tutors because I have a deep passion for learning and the journey of thinking. My obsession is philosophy, which as a kind of over-arching discipline concerning the knowledge of what is, disperses me into many of the various subjects within which the joy of thinking can inhabit. I am excited to work with students and learn from them and see the ways in which their thinking can develop, as well as help them acquire the skills to succeed in their courses...More

I am deeply committed to teaching. During my undergraduate, I was heavily involved in mentoring younger students in my department. I taught a class on Greek literature in translation as a volunteer teacher through Splash at Yale. I helped moderate discussions of current events between high school students as a board member of Yale Model Congress.

I'm thrilled every time one of my students begins to understand a grammar concept or reads alone, and that enthusiasm for both small victories and language and literature that is yet to be studied is contagious.

I'm the philosopher they call Andrew! You are most very definitely welcome to come to me with any school questions, but be warned: there's a good chance we'll soon be figuring out the meaning of life...

I'm a fourth-year medical student with a strong background in tutoring and a passion for helping students reach their full potential. Over the years, I've worked with learners of all ages, from elementary school students building foundational skills to high schoolers preparing for the SAT and ACT. I enjoy breaking down complex ideas into simple, understandable concepts and tailoring my approach to match each student's learning style.

I'm a graduate of NYU's Teacher of Chinese Foreign Language in Elementary School program and I specialize in teaching Mandarin to kids age from 5-13 yrs.

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
