His dual training in history and business at Vanderbilt means he's equally comfortable coaching a research paper and a persuasive op-ed. Students leave sessions with concrete revision strategies, not just vague feedback.

Mary's background sits at the intersection of language science and written expression — her SLP training at Vanderbilt covers how people organize and produce language, while her undergraduate research in linguistic relativity explored how language shapes thought itself. That combination makes her especially effective at teaching students to move from scattered ideas to coherent, well-structured prose. She holds a 5.0 rating.

I'm a 24 year old student of life that graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2014.

I'm an Iowa native who moved to Nashville for graduate school. My background is in the life sciences; I have a Masters from Vanderbilt in Chemical and Physical Biology, and my undergraduate degree is in Biochemistry. However, my education has been well rounded and I have interests in philosophy, literature, writing, and history. I have extensive research experience, and I hope to share my passion for science with students. I have experience mentoring undergraduate students during my graduate school education to help them gain research experience. I am a very patient teacher and have the ability to see problems from the students perspective; my tutoring style adapts to each student's individual needs, but centers on getting each student to come to their solutions rather than following any one formula for success. I have a lot of experience with standardized testing, and have taken multiple AP subject tests in addition to the ACT, SAT, and GRE examinations.

I am currently a sophomore pursuing a bachelor of arts degree in Medicine, Health, and Society. Being a student, Ive understood the frustration of not knowing what to do or who to turn to in the moment I dont understand something. This feeling can be very disheartening, but having the right person to guide you can make all the difference. For struggling students, I want to be that person to help them reach their full potential. In high school, I tutored people (mostly high school students like myself at the time) within the community, and it was personally rewarding every time I saw a student gain confidence in their studies.

I'm a sophomore at Vanderbilt University studying computer science, currently focusing on iOS and game development. I like growing as a person, but I find it much more interesting and rewarding to grow other people. Seeing a student change, not in intellect but in perspective, is fascinating. I like to focus more on concepts rather than memorization so that students will have the tools to excel in any facet of academia, beyond some random test that holds too much significance.

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 freshman at Vanderbilt University studying biochemistry and involved in analytical chemistry research. Despite my studies being very science oriented, I also enjoy studying English and the humanities. I'd be happy to tutor you in any of these areas!

I'm Karen, a sophomore in Vanderbilt's Peabody College of Education. I am double majoring in Secondary Education (middle and high school education) and European History with additional endorsements in US History and Political Science.

I am a junior at Vanderbilt University studying Child Development and Art History, and I have always had a passion for tutoring and mentorship. Although most of my tutoring experience has been for elementary students in reading and math, I am most excited about tutoring middle and high schoolers because the subjects that are learned during these times are so much more detailed, dynamic, and interesting! These were also the years where my love of learning really took shape, and getting the opportunity to foster this same love and appreciation for learning in other students excites me.
