I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
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, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I am exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the first-generation and low-income student community as the Outreach Chair of the Quest+ Scholars Network, and getting involved with the Society of Women Engineers' outreach committee. I currently hold a work-study position as an administrative clerical aide in the Institute of Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern and was an undergraduate researcher in the John Rogers Lab. As I look forward with aspirations of applying to graduate school, areas of research in biomedical engineering and biotechnology that I am particularly interested in include biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery systems. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy learning on my own and sharing my experience and knowledge with my peers and other students. I hope to make use of my experiences with academics and learning in high school and so far in my undergraduate career in order to effectively tutor students who may be experiencing the same struggles in learning that I also experienced.
I am excited to be home and help fellow straphangers on their educational paths! My largest wealth of tutoring experience is in foreign languages--particularly French--but I also feel very comfortable editing essays of any kind and working through standardized test concepts. My availability is extremely flexible, and anywhere in New York City works for me. I look forward to working with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often struggle with Media History because it requires balancing multiple skill sets—analyzing primary sources, understanding technological context, and evaluating media's social impact simultaneously. Many students find it difficult to connect historical events with their effects on media evolution, or they approach the subject as purely factual rather than analytical. Additionally, Media History demands critical thinking about bias and representation, which takes practice to develop. Personalized tutoring helps address these specific challenges by breaking down complex concepts and building confidence in source analysis and argumentation at your own pace.
Media History is deeply integrated into social studies because it examines how communication technologies shape society, culture, and politics across time periods. Understanding media evolution helps contextualize major historical events—from how newspapers influenced public opinion during wartime to how digital media affects modern political discourse. This connection means Media History assignments often require synthesis across history, civics, and cultural studies. A tutor can help you see these interdisciplinary links more clearly, making your Media History work strengthen your overall social studies foundation.
Great Media History tutors combine subject expertise with the ability to teach critical analysis skills. They should help you develop frameworks for evaluating media—understanding how to identify bias, recognize propaganda techniques, analyze audience and purpose, and trace technological influence on content. The best tutors also connect historical examples to contemporary media, making the subject feel relevant rather than abstract. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who excel at building these analytical skills while keeping students engaged with real-world applications of Media History concepts.
Media History essays require you to make sophisticated arguments supported by evidence from primary sources, historical context, and media examples. Personalized tutoring focuses on your specific writing challenges—whether that's structuring complex arguments, integrating sources effectively, or strengthening your thesis statements. A tutor can work with your actual assignments, showing you how to move beyond summarizing media history toward analyzing how and why media evolved. This targeted feedback accelerates improvement much faster than general classroom instruction, since the tutoring is tailored to your writing patterns and conceptual gaps.
Most students show meaningful improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent personalized tutoring, especially when focusing on specific skills like source analysis or essay structure. However, the timeline depends on your starting point and the depth of concepts you're tackling. If you're working on foundational skills like identifying bias in media or understanding media technology's historical impact, progress comes quickly. If you're preparing for AP or advanced coursework requiring sophisticated argumentation, longer-term tutoring helps build the analytical depth needed for strong performance. Your tutor will establish clear goals and track your progress from the first session.
Classroom instruction covers broad content and skills efficiently, but it moves at a set pace that doesn't account for individual learning gaps. In personalized tutoring, instruction adapts to your specific needs—if you struggle with analyzing documentary bias but excel at tracing media technology evolution, your tutor focuses on your weak spots rather than reviewing material you've already mastered. Tutors can also spend deeper time on assignments from your actual class, helping you understand exactly what your teacher expects. This targeted approach means you spend study time efficiently, building confidence and competence faster than classroom learning alone allows.
Effective Media History tutoring should result in stronger analytical skills, improved essay grades, and deeper understanding of how media shapes society. You'll develop confidence in evaluating sources critically, constructing well-supported arguments, and connecting historical media evolution to contemporary issues. Specific outcomes depend on your goals—whether you're aiming to boost your grade, prepare for AP Media and Culture exams, or build skills for college-level coursework. Most students report not just better grades but genuine interest in media as a subject, since they understand the frameworks for analyzing it rather than just memorizing facts.
