Clinical internships at a transplant institute and abroad in Tanzania gave Eric firsthand exposure to how organ systems function — and malfunction — in real patients. He teaches physiology concepts like cardiac output, renal filtration, and neuronal signaling by grounding them in the chemistry and physics that explain why the body works the way it does.

I'm an advocate of the "Learn One, Do One, Teach One" methodology of tutoring, and have seen it transform students academic confidence and learning efficiency. I look forward to helping you tackle your next challenge!
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 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 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 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 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'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 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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your first session is designed to assess your current understanding of physiology concepts and identify specific areas where you need support. The tutor will ask about your course goals, review any recent assignments or exams, and discuss which body systems or topics are most challenging for you. This helps create a personalized learning plan tailored to your needs, whether you're strengthening foundational anatomy knowledge or preparing for AP Physiology exams.
Many students struggle with understanding how different body systems interconnect and function together—it's not just memorization, but grasping cause-and-effect relationships at the cellular and organ levels. Others find it difficult to visualize complex processes like cellular respiration, hormone regulation, or nerve impulse transmission. Personalized instruction helps break down these concepts into manageable pieces, using diagrams, real-world examples, and practice problems to build true comprehension rather than surface-level memorization.
In a classroom with an 18.2:1 student-teacher ratio, it's challenging for teachers to address each student's unique learning style or pace through complex physiology topics. Personalized instruction allows a tutor to focus entirely on your specific gaps, repeat explanations in different ways, and spend extra time on the concepts that confuse you most. You can also ask questions without time pressure and work through practice problems at your own pace, which research shows significantly improves retention and understanding of complex biological systems.
Yes—tutors working with Varsity Tutors are familiar with physiology courses across different levels, from introductory high school biology with physiology components to AP Physiology and college-level courses. Whether your school emphasizes the cardiovascular system, nervous system, or integrative body functions, tutors can align their instruction with your specific curriculum and help you master the concepts your teacher emphasizes.
Absolutely. Tutors can help you develop study strategies, work through practice problems similar to those on your exams, and identify weak areas before test day. For AP Physiology or college entrance exams, tutors can teach you how to approach complex multi-part questions and explain physiological processes clearly under timed conditions. Regular practice with feedback significantly improves both understanding and test performance.
Physiology labs require you to understand both the theory behind experiments and how to interpret results—tutors can help with both. They can explain what you're measuring, why certain procedures matter, and how to connect lab observations back to the physiological concepts you're learning in class. This deeper understanding helps you write better lab reports and develop stronger scientific reasoning skills.
Tutors working with Varsity Tutors who teach physiology typically have strong backgrounds in biology, anatomy, or related sciences—many have college degrees in these fields or have taught physiology at the high school or college level. Varsity Tutors matches you with tutors whose expertise aligns with your specific needs, whether that's introductory physiology concepts or advanced coursework.
