Nat
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am a second year student in the Vanderbilt University School of Engineering. I am double majoring in Math and Computer Science and minoring in Engineering Management. I frequently tutored my friends and peers throughout high school and continue to do so in my college courses. While in high school, I also volunteered for Higher Achievement, an Academic Enrichment program for middle school youth in D.C. During the summer session,I taught the SSAT and reading classes, acted as a teachers' assistant and tutored individual scholars. I am very passionate about STEM and advancements in the tech field. I strongly value education, something my parents instilled in me from a young age, and I hope to spread my love of learning and the doors that a strong education can open to those around me. I love all things sports and fitness and my favorite activities are biking, running and yoga.

I am a veteran college chemistry professor with a Ph.D. from Yale who has taught Organic Chemistry and General Chemistry I many times. I have also taught Introductory Chemistry to students who had never had chemistry before and also a General, Organic, and Biochemistry course for health professions. I look at chemistry as a set of skills to be learned, similar to learning a sport or a musical instrument. I can show you what to do, but to really learn you need to do things yourself.

I'm a 24 year old student of life that graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2014. My first experience with tutoring came 5 years ago when I opened a branch of ACT prep tutoring for Revolution Prep. At that time, I taught small classes of 5-9 students and also worked as a private tutor. I absolutely love to learn and am fulfilled by guiding students to reach their maximum potential.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Varsity Tutors connects students from across Knoxville's 122 schools in both Knox County Schools and Knoxville City Schools. Whether your student attends a school in North Knoxville, South Knoxville, or anywhere in between, we can match them with a tutor who understands their school's curriculum and expectations.
With an average student-teacher ratio of 13.8:1 in Knoxville schools, many students benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction to fill gaps and accelerate learning. Tutoring provides the individualized attention that's harder to get in a traditional classroom, allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's specific learning needs and pace.
Tutors working with Knoxville students are familiar with Tennessee's standards and expectations across subjects like math, English language arts, science, and social studies. They tailor instruction to help students master grade-level skills, prepare for state assessments, and build confidence in areas where they're struggling.
Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify specific learning goals. The tutor will assess your student's current level, discuss challenges they're facing, and create a personalized plan to address those areas—whether that's homework help, test prep, or building foundational skills.
That's entirely up to you. Some Knoxville families prefer one tutor who can help across multiple subjects, while others connect with different tutors for specialized support in math, science, or English. Varsity Tutors can match you with tutors based on your family's preferences and your student's needs.
Students across Knoxville seek help with math and English language arts most frequently, especially during transitions between grade levels or when preparing for standardized tests. However, tutoring is also valuable in science, social studies, and test prep for ACT, SAT, and Tennessee-specific assessments—whatever your student needs most.
Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families across Knoxville to find pricing that fits their budget. To get a personalized quote based on your student's specific needs, reach out and we'll connect you with options that work for your family.
Simply tell us about your student's needs, grade level, and goals. We'll match them with a tutor who's a great fit and can begin personalized instruction right away. Most families are connected with a tutor and schedule their first session within days.
