I recently received my Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology as well as History of Science, Medicine, and Technology at Johns Hopkins University. At Hopkins I pursued a diverse course load, which allows me to tutor students in a variety of disciplines. I am most suited to tutor science courses such as Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Science but also have a strong background in Mathematics through the Calculus level.I have extensive experience tutoring high school students, both while I was a high school student and while I was at college in Baltimore. I have found that the most successful approach to learning is through communicative and collaborative work. First and foremost, students should understand subjects taught in the classroom through review of homework and exams. Next, students should be able to apply that knowledge to new questions to ensure a complete understanding of any subject matter. I look forward to achieving academic and personal success with the students!

Graduate of Kent State University in Biochemistry Pre-Med with almost four years of tutoring experience for many STEM classes.Tutoring really showed me my passion for teaching, and it's truly exciting to see that "lightbulb" go off when a student finally gets a stressful topic. I enjoy teaching as well, in that, I get to pass on what I've learned in a funny / exciting / practical way which is my own.Hope to be a great help to everyone who needs it!

What are you struggling with?That's the first question I ask new students in our first session together. Understanding the unique problems and bad habits facing a student is the first step in creating a customized learning plan to help get over those hurdles.Growing up with severe ADHD, I learned firsthand how vital it is to create a learning process which treats the student as an individual, tailored to their strengths, habits, and weaknesses. Over many frustrating years, I learned how to create a personal curriculum for myself, which in turn has taught me how to do the same for my students.I focus on conceptual understanding and pattern recognition in all of my sessions, rather than "tricks" or rote memorization. These skills require practice, but they are absolutely critical to building a strong foundation for future learning. That's why I go to the effort to include background information and explain the lower levels of abstraction that so often make the difference between memorizing *facts* and learning *skills.*This focused approach enabled me to place in the 99th percentile nationwide on the PSAT and SAT, win the title of National Merit Scholar, and earn a full-ride merit scholarship to one of the largest schools in the country, all despite my learning difficulties. There I am currently a senior in the Honors program, on track to graduate summa cum laude, and approaching completion of an undergraduate thesis on my work in the university's nanotechnology lab.These opportunities have unambiguously changed my life, and I'm always happy to help more young minds reach their goals. Examples of my teaching experience include two semesters of tutoring at the high-school level and three semesters as a paid teaching assistant for my university. I teach a wide variety of subjects, including math, essay writing, critical thinking, biochemistry, and object-oriented programming.Outside of the classroom and lab, I love to play volleyball, swim, run, and meet new people! After graduation, I hope to win a US Fulbright grant to teach in rural Indonesia before pursuing a PhD in biochemistry. Learning was my first love, but teaching is my passion, and I would love to eventually become a professor and conduct research on the biochemistry of longevity. I hope the Varsity platform will allow me to have the opportunity to help more students reach their own goals in school, college, and beyond!

I recently graduated cum laude with a BS Biomedical Engineering degree. I tutor any of the fundamental sciences as well as calculus and pre-cal. I am a part of the Imperial Scientific Association (ISA), a group of NASA certified educators. During the week I am assisting with clinical research. Weekends will be an ideal time to meet. My tutoring style is best described as unwavering patience. I explain until there is understanding. I've spent years teaching my younger sister the ropes in science and math. I have the patience to explain the big fundamentals from start to finish and I have the experience to talk about how the theory applies to life.

Hello,I graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor's of Science in Biology. During my time at UGA, I was employed under the Biology Department as a teacher’s assistant for the Principles of Biology course. Each week of the semester I held review sessions and went over the lecture material presented. I was also entrusted with grading exams and classwork. Being a teacher’s assistant not only allowed me to solidify my understanding of various biology concepts, but also made me confident in my teaching abilities. Aside from Biology, I am also passionate about Math, Chemistry and English courses.Throughout college I also worked with a student in SAT preparation and AP Calculus AB. I am confident that my personal experiences taking the ACT, SAT and various AP courses in high school not only helped me teach my student but also relate to him. I understand how demanding AP courses can be and know what it takes to succeed in them. As a tutor, I will not only teach the subject at hand, but also teach students valuable study skills that will continually help them throughout their educations.

I am a proud graduate of Eastern Washington University (Go Eags!). I just recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a focus in Pre-Medicine. I am actively applying to medical school and hope to begin my journey of becoming a doctor this summer. In college, I was a teacher's assistant for three courses (twice for Medical Bacteriology and once for Anatomy and Physiology). This gave me the chance to share my knowledge with my fellow students and to help guide their studies. I also had the great opportunity to play basketball for my college and learned many effective study skills while juggling school, basketball, and a part-time job. I am very passionate about Biology and any sub-category of Biology, but I also have a strong background in Chemistry and Statistics. Last year I was a mentor for at-risk teens at our local middle school. I really enjoyed the experience. I enjoy connecting with youth and it was very special to me to get to make a difference in a teen's life by just listening to them and showing them that someone cared about them. I would describe my teaching style as encouraging while also challenging the student to come up with their own answers and style of thinking. I believe education is very important. I know I wouldn't be where I am today without it and the help of all my teachers and coaches along the way. I hope to share my skills and help students gain confidence in their abilities and themselves. In my spare time I enjoy playing and watching all sports, working out, and just being outside and staying as active and fit as possible!

My name is Komal Sood. I graduated from Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2012. I also graduated from University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) with a Bachelor's of Science in Psychobiology and am currently a Medical School student at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) School of Medicine pursuing a dual MD/MPH degree.I can help in tutoring a variety of subjects- including Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Biology, Microbiology, Psychology, Basic Pharmacology. I am happy to help in any way I can and love working with high school and college students. I can prepare high school students for college level interviews and assist with college preparatory essay writing. I can also guide any pre-health students who are looking to apply to medical/nursing/dental or PA school with applications, essay writing/editing, and interview preparation. I also recently just passed the USMLE Step 1 exam and am well equipped to help anyone exceed in studying for this medical school board exam.Please contact me at komalsood15@gmail.com. I am always looking for opportunities to teach. I have done very well in these classes and know how to tailor my tutoring for your success. I look forward to hearing from you!

I love working with students and helping them accomplish their goals! It is a joy relating to students and the struggles that inevitably occur inside or outside the classroom. I believe it is important for a student to gain a thorough understanding of the subject rather than completing an assignment because a genuine knowledge of the subject often produces a passion for learning due to the students accomplishment, and this passion for learning and understanding is my ultimate goal for the student.I received my Bachelors degree in Biomedical Sciences from Liberty University with the honors of Magna Cum Laude. Throughout college I was consistently meeting one-on-one with professors, which taught me the value of meeting with someone to bolster subject knowledge, and I also helped my fellow students throughout college with various questions and topics. I learned that it takes a village to obtain academic achievement and educational goals, and that it really can be more enjoyable going through the experience with others! In addition, I was Valedictorian of my high school class with honors of Summa Cum Laude, and I am familiar with the hard work it takes in high school to be accepted to the University of choice and obtain academic scholarships.I tutor subjects concerning the Sciences, Math, English, Public Speaking, Music, and the ACT. I have taken the ACT 5 times in order to achieve the test score I wanted, so I am very experienced with that exam (and the hard work it takes to achieve those high-test scores). I love tutoring Biology because of the beautiful intricacies that make life possible, and Biology also incorporates various hard sciences such as, Chemistry and Physics. I enjoy tutoring English because language is so important in sharing with others your thoughts and your experiences. Piano/Music is another favorite of mine because I have been playing the piano since I was 4 years old so the subject is very dear to my heart.While I love learning new things and stretching the mind, other interests and hobbies of mine include traveling, coffee, quality music, vintage things, shopping, hiking, running, and of course, piano.

I recently graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside with my Bachelors in Biology. I worked for the UW-Parkside Tutoring Center for almost four years. This experience has been one of my best, as it helped me interact with many students from different majors. During my second year as a tutor, I was promoted to the lead math tutor position. As a lead tutor, I trained incoming math tutors as well as helped my supervisor plan the different tutor meetings. My experience as a tutor has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Students often gave me positive feedback on my tutoring techniques, and I've seen many of them succeed in their classes after using the tutoring center and getting my help.I think the best qualities in a tutor are patience and empathy. As a tutor, I've always tried to put myself in the student's shoes and try to find different methods of explaining the same material until I am certain that my student feels comfortable with the given material.

I am a professional scientist with multiple years of experience in the biopharmaceutical field. I have spent time in the classroom with elementary aged students and am comfortable with this age group. I am also familiar with AP classes and ACT/SAT preparation. I look forward to sharing my love of learning with students and helping them achieve academic goals!
