I want my student to feel that I am working for their benefit, and because I care about them, not becaus...

Experienced online tutor at Varsity Tutors with over 10 years of a proven track record helping students succeed in mathematics, programming, and test prep. My background is in Computer Science and Mathematics, and I actively work in the exciting field of AI and Robotics, something I often bring into my lessons to show students how what they're learning applies in the real world.Over the years, I've found that the key to effective learning is connection and clarity. I tailor my approach to each student, breaking down complex concepts in multiple ways until they truly click. Whether it's preparing for the SAT/ACT or tackling advanced university-level coursework, I aim to make the subject both understandable and enjoyable.Each student receives a customized lesson plan, which we update together based on progress and goals. I also provide extra materials and explanations to reinforce learning outside of sessions. I genuinely welcome questions, feedback, and collaboration from both students and parents because when we work as a team, we achieve the best results.If you're looking for a tutor who combines deep subject knowledge with patience, flexibility, and a real passion for teaching, I'd love to help.

Olivia

American Literature Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am a rising senior at Washington University in St. Louis pursuing a Bachelor's in English Literature. I also have a minor in Educational Studies, as I plan to become a high school English teacher. I plan to go to graduate school to get my Master's in teaching English literature and Special Education 7-12. I have a lot of interests, but my favorite things to do are ply golf, run, sing, listen to music, and read. I started a girls' golf team at my high school, and I ran cross country! I also love to bake. Most recently I tried out a recipe for cinnamon rolls and it was AMAZING! My favorite book - it's really hard to pick - is the Great Gatsby, and my favorite movie is Shawshank Redemption.I have a lot of experience tutoring Pre-K, elementary and middle school children in phonics, reading, writing, science, and math. In high school, I spent almost everyday tutoring children in these subjects at a nearby elementary school. Recently, I helped teach a young boy with speech delays how to read and write. I'm really passionate about teaching students not only how to read and write well, but also to enjoy doing it! I also love coaching children in math and science to help them learn the material and feel confident about it! I am very comfortable assigning homework for different subjects and different grade levels. If I had to choose, I'd say that my favorite subject to tutor is reading. I believe reading is an essential, life-long skill, and I love supporting students as they become stronger, more passionate readers.Additionally, since I am an English major, I am very familiar with a wide variety of literature - I have taken classes about American, British, and Postcolonial literature, to name a few! I am more than able to tutor students of all ages (elementary to college (and beyond!)).I am extremely comfortable helping students struggling with the reading and writing sections of the SAT and the SAT Literature Subject Test.I am very skilled at writing essays, and I am passionate about grammar. I can help with general essay writing, or more specifically with college essay writing!I look forward to working with you!

Victoria

1st Grade Tutor • +38 Subjects

As an aspiring teacher, when my students graduate from high school, I hope that they will not remember their tests or homework assignments. However, I hope that they will remember that I loved and cared for them, that I always believed in them and that I instilled in them the desire to never give up. I hope I have taught them to embrace their abilities, and dreams and to pursue their goals. I not only wish that for my future students, but also for those that I tutor. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Scranton with a degree in Early Childhood Education. I have always wanted spend my life helping others and found that teaching would be a wonderful way to reach that goal.

I have a Bachelor's of Science degree as well as a Master's of Science degree in Applied Physiology. My educational experiences included numerous classes in biology, anatomy and physiology, nutrition, and general sciences. While I was working towards my degrees I had a Teaching Assistantship, which meant I taught lab sessions and tutored my peers who needed extra help. I currently educate and mentor women with autoimmune diseases on how to reverse their autoimmune symptoms using various lifestyle shifts and discovering the root cause of their autoimmunity. I love helping people learn the information they need to know to better themselves, whether it's to improve their health, do well on an exam, or to simply improve their knowledge in the sciences.

Kevin

ACCUPLACER Arithmetic Tutor • +50 Subjects

I believe in a flexible methodology. I believe not everyone learns in the same fashion or at the same rate. This does not mean a student is more or less intelligent than the next or the teacher is always right. There are fundamental methods and approaches that a student must learn when obtaining an education.The difference between a good teacher and a great one is adapting those methods and approaches to each individual. This cannot always be done in a classroom setting, and that is why we have tutors. I may not be the right tutor for everyone, but I'll do my best with everyone and hopefully change a few lives. In the end, this is not just about teaching them a specific subject, it's helping them evolve how they think in order to allow them to attack any subject now and in the future by teaching them how to break things down and approach it in an effective way.
