About Me

Hi! My name is Evan, I graduated from Allegheny College in May 2015 with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Psychology, and after graduation I moved to Pittsburgh to begin my career. Besides tutoring for Varsity Tutors, I work as a Laboratory Technician 2 for PPG in Springdale, PA. My laboratory uses fundamental aspects of chemistry to run testing on electrocoat paints in order to determine their respective viabilities as manufacturing products. I love what I do! I currently work 40 hours a week in my Lab Technician position, but would be available after 6 pm as well as weekends (when scheduled in advance).I have worked as a Biology tutor for both the AP Biology Test as well as the SAT Subject Test for Biology for the last two summers through Maine Prep, one of Maine's premier test-preparation companies. At Maine Prep I learned about what it takes to be a successful tutor, and I also learned about the satisfaction that one can gain from helping students understand previously unknown concepts. Now that I'm in the Pittsburgh area I would love to continue expanding on my tutoring experience- I enjoy working with students and someday I would like to be a Professor in Biology!

Q&A with Evan

I believe that the tutor-student relationship is a two-way street: mutual respect is an absolute must. It is the tutor's duty to respect the student's intelligence and empathize with his or her situation, because everyone struggles with concepts from time to time. The student's responsibility is to be willing to look at the subject from another point of view, because sometimes a change of perspective can allow a previously difficult concept to make sense. If both the tutor and student are willing to work with each other in such a way, then both can gain something special from the experience.
