Award-Winning Tutors from Boston College

I graduated from Boston College with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in medical ethics. After graduating, I worked as a medical scribe and I am currently applying to medical schools. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing guitar and watching movies.Previously, I have tutored students of all ages in various subjects, with an emphasis in math and SAT. As a tutor, I believe that students learn best through solving problems. By guiding students through various problems, I will help them learn how to apply their knowledge to solve complex questions and gain confidence and competencies in difficult subjects.I look forward to meeting you!

My name is Enric Adillon:2020 - B.S. Boston CollegeIn progress - Ph.D. CaltechI am a science student excited to share how I have been successful in STEM fields. My goal is to help students build critical thinking and problem solving skill while developing an appreciation for science in a greater context. My greatest expertise is in chemistry and math, although I can help in a broad range of STEM subjects. I hope to learn with you soon!

I am currently a junior at Boston College, majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Marketing. I have tutored for two years through a small Tutoring volunteer program in the Twin Cities Metro area. I taught math, science, and ACT preparation for students eight to 15. This year I am a board member of the Women in STEM club at Boston College and row on BC's DI women's crew team. I enjoy teaching computer science, algebra, and calculus.

I am an honors graduate of the College of Our Lady of the Elms where I received my undergraduate degree in Biology, with a Chemistry minor. I later went on to get my Master's Degree in Education from Boston College. I taught on the high school level before being appointed as a high school administrator. Following my marriage, I became an elementary school principal, although I continued to teach Science labs to Middle School students. I make Science and other subjects come alive by showing students how it is an extension of their every day lives. I use a variety of hands on materials and tricks of the trade to help students master material. My greatest joy is seeing the light of understanding brighten a student's eyes!

Hi everyone! My name is Ivan Ip and I am a junior at Boston College studying finance and information systems with minors in computer science, applied psychology/human development, and philosophy!

Young, motivated working professional with a strong background in Science and Mathematics. Graduated from Boston College as a Pre-Medical student and currently pursuing a Master's of Science degree in Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs. Strong passion for teaching with several years of tutoring, leadership, and decision-making experience within my professional career.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Psychology from Boston College and my Master of Science in Education from University of Miami. I have been teaching in elementary schools for three years, and before that, I volunteer taught in high school for two years. I have tutored students in math and reading in grades K and 3-5, but I am also able to work with other grades. I currently teach elementary math and have done so for the past two years. My teaching experience has taught me all students can learn, and it is just necessary to find how they learn best. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, and trying out new restaurants in Miami.

I am a graduate of Boston College and The University of Pittsburgh School of Law. I received a Bachelor of Arts in both English and Economics,I am a graduate of The College of William and Mary. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Literary & Cultural Studies with a focus on philosophy and theater. Since graduation, I have traveled extensively, tutoring children of immigrants in California for the “No Child Left Behind” program; adults in Manhattan looking to improve their English (as I am a certified ESL instructor); and private clients in the Veneto region of Italy. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and History. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, yoga, running, and the game of ice hockey.

Friends and acquaintances have told me on numerous occasions that I would be a great teacher. I've spent my entire career in private industry as both an individual contributor and a manager. Curiosity about a wide variety of subjects has been a part of my life throughout adulthood. While commuting to work, I listened to over 75 college level courses.

I recently graduated magna cum laude from Boston College with highest honors in Political Science. Before I embarked on my collegiate journey, I graduated from Mamaroneck High School at the top of my class and as an AP Scholar with Distinction. During my time at Boston College, I was enrolled in two prestigious programs the Arts and Sciences Honors Program and the Political Science Honors Program. Through this rigorous, comprehensive education, I have attained a wide-breadth of knowledge on a myriad of subjects.In addition to being well-versed in politics and history, I also have a strong background in literature and writing. With a firm command of the English language and a nuanced understanding of grammar, I am well-equipped to help students improve their reading comprehension and essay writing skills. As an avid reader and writing enthusiast, I naturally find great joy in reviewing and editing the work of others. Although writing is incredibly stylistic, it is also remarkably formulaic. With proper preparation, all students are capable of fine-tuning their craft with effective methodologies and strategies all that is needed is the right guidance and support.There are few things more rewarding and fulfilling than helping clients to develop a recipe for success. It truly brings me delight to see a student discovering the right answers to the same questions that once boggled him or her. When students discover that they are more than capable of finding solutions to challenging problems, they often begin to attain a sense of fulfillment from their work. With the right training, any student is capable of excelling academically. My role as the facilitator is to simply show the tricks and techniques that will help a student to achieve noticeable improvements. With my help, I am more than confident that you will be able to succeed and thrive.

I believe that the goal of education is to spark the curious nature of students, so that students are interested in exploring and learning more. The role of the teacher is to foster this curiosity and interest in learning and to guide students by clearly explaining difficult concepts. I have many years of experience tutoring students of all ages. Most recently, I worked as a teacher and tutor in Madrid, Spain, where I taught English as a Foreign Language. Before that, I worked in New York as a tutor with a private tutoring company. I have tutored students in many academic subjects including English, Spanish, Math, Science and History.

Hi! I am an MSW student at Boston college and an alumni of Virginia Commonwealth University. I enjoy working with students and specialize in writing and reading. During my free time I take film pictures or read young adult!

I am a currently attending Graduate School and working towards my Masters of Science in Education for Urban Adolescents with Special Needs (Grades 7-12). I enjoy tutoring because I find contributing to another person's joy and sense of accomplishment immensely gratifying.I am a person who enjoys different and challenging experiences, and I believe my track record as a tutor is an example of that. I have had the opportunity of engaging in the most unique mixture of peculiar, fun, and stimulating positions. My experience ranges from ESL classes with Somali refugee students in high school to Special Needs students in elementary school. I have also done some freelance tutoring intermittently for friends and family. All of these experiences have been contributed to my teaching style. My philosophy for tackling challenging academic subjects is also an outgrowth of my own personal study habits.I believe that organization is key. I have found that a certain combination of systematic organization and simplification of every detail helps to illuminate the solution. Having a structured and repeatable approach can then be engrained in the thought process through repetition, and improvement will surely follow.Furthermore, I believe positive reinforcement and encouragement are also invaluable tutoring tools. Inspiring confidence in students so that they don't become discouraged by difficulties they encounter keeps them engaged and more inclined to self-improvement.

I've always had a huge passion for theatre, but even some of my friends don't know that I also love math, art history, and writing! I earned my BA at Boston College and my MFA at The Boston Conservatory. My masters program was a dual performance and teaching degree which provided a pedagogical point of view and the opportunity to be a teaching assistant. I tutor several math subjects, including geometry, algebra I and II, and SAT math. Math has always been one of my favorite subjects to study and tutor because I enjoy the satisfaction of tackling a challenging puzzle. I would say that as a teacher, I like to guide my students and let them draw their own conclusions whenever possible. I want a student to leave a tutoring session feeling like they can rely on their own instincts and abilities when working on their own. My hobbies include swimming, theatre, singing, kayaking, reading, drawing, walking dogs, and watching too much Netflix. I know what it's like to struggle in school, but I also know the power of finding an appreciation for even the most dreaded subjects. I'd love to help your child articulate their goals, identify the strengths they already possess, and conquer those academic obstacles they're facing.

I am a first-year at Boston College studying political science and international relations on the pre-law track. Through experiences such as youth political conferences, authoring an original political discourse column, tutoring elementary students, and working to expand access to Speech and Debate around Philadelphia I have developed a passion for advocacy, government, and public service. I have taken 11 AP courses such as US Government, Comparative Government, US History, and Macro economics - earning As and 5s on all

I am currently a student at Boston College studying Neuroscience and Biology. I am also NREMT certified and Massachusetts licensed to practice as an EMT. The mission of Emergency Medical Technicians is to serve the community through saving lives and educating others; I strive to honor that mission by teaching.

I am a current student at Boston College and went to boarding school in Pennsylvania prior to this. My mom runs a daycare so my entire life I've been around children/students and grown to love helping them in any way I could. It seems my time has come to help and doing so through tutorship is more than fulfilling for me. In my educational experience, I've always been particularly fond of the humanities such as English, History, sociology/psychology, things of that nature. English would be my favorite topic to tutor; I love to read and analyze texts, motifs, and symbols. More specifically, I find my strongest abilities to be around writing whether grammatical, expository, analytical, etc. In college and boarding school, I also learned how to properly time manage, be responsible, and tackle different aspects of life without being completely overwhelmed. Outside of academia, I was a two sport varsity athlete in track and basketball. I'm a huge basketball/NBA fan, also love to cook, debate, and workout. I'm confident I can help students with aspects of school that aren't only academic. My teaching/tutoring philosophy is based on building a genuine relationship first with my student but also having a clear expectation of how we will both be getting better. As long as we are both holding each other accountable things can be extremely easy-going as we watch progress begin to happen. It's also okay for things to be hard or uncomfortable as well, it's a part of the learning process!

I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Literature from the University of Chicago in 2023, alongside a minor in History. I am currently a graduate student at Boston College, studying English. While at Boston College, I have worked extensively as a tutor, focusing specifically on writing. I have worked alongside classes in other fields-- particularly Economics-- to strengthen their writing skills, and with student athletes. I am most passionate about tutoring English and History, as well as writing for any subject, including applications or cover letters. I am a strong believer in the importance of education as a way to further one's agency over their own life, particularly as it relates to writing. I feel that, when students are given the space to work on their writing, they witness their own growth as writers, leading them to feel more confident in their abilities, and opening up a number of opportunities.

I am a passionate educator who has experience as MS English Teacher and HS English teacher including courses such as 9th grade Writing honors, 9th grade English, 10th grade English, 11th grade English honors, AP English Literature. Most recently, I was The Director of Secondary Literacy Curriculum, grades 5-12 for KIPP NJ and am transitioning to Dream Charter High School as Academic Dean, an assistant principal position. I am committed to helping all students learn. Additionally, I believe that education is a civil right and that all students are capable of mastering content, no matter how rigorous or complex, with the right instructional moves, response to data, and appropriate level of scaffolding in place. In addition I have experience tutoring students in Chemistry, preparing students to be more successful on college admissions test such as the ACT and SAT and teaching Algebra I to ninth graders in the absence of a permanent teacher.

I believe in education, and I believe in every student having confidence that he or she is smart and capable. My hope is for every student to follow his or her goals and ambitions. I went through the competitive New York City private school atmosphere at Friends Seminary through to Boston College, where I graduated Cum Laude as an English Major. Having played sports and music on top of academics in middle and high school, I know the pressure that young students in this city face. I understand their burden. My goal is to work with students so that they believe can succeed and be proud of themselves. I want students in New York to feel free amidst the overwhelming expectations to get into college. I will work with the student so that we both feel stimulated by a difficult subject. As a current acting student, I understand now more than ever that true learning is being able to make mistakes and learn from them. Any student that works with me will be free to make a mistake, so that he or she will learn from it.

I specialize in linguistics and English for academic purposes, and I've spent over ten years supporting students in both areas. I have a PhD in Linguistics, a TEFL certification, and several years of experience teaching linguistics at the university level. Whether you're working through linguistic theory or trying to strengthen an academic paper or presentation, I focus on giving practical strategies you can use independently going forward.

I'm passionate about helping students build foundational finance skills by using real-world examples and applications! I was a previous music tutor (saxophone), was directly responsible for training new hires/interns (15+) at my previous job, and led training workshops in my last position (individual and groups). I am a current graduate student in finance, and while I have more experience in investments/financial planning, I am comfortable covering all subjects in finance. I previously held the SIE, Series 7, and Series 66 certifications at my previous role with J.P. Morgan. I love to read and play with my cat, Noki!

I received my Bachelor of Science from Connecticut College with a major in Human Development. After graduating, I worked as a teacher in the Boston Public School system for two years, before earning a Master of Social Work from Boston College. I am currently a first year law student at Northeastern University School of Law.While teaching I worked with special education students who experienced a number of different learning challenges. Although I taught 7th grade math, I most enjoy tutoring in reading and writing. I love helping students learn to express themselves more thoroughly through language. Outside of academia I enjoy reading and spending time outside, being active. In high school I was a competitive swimmer, which lead to my playing on the varsity water polo team while I was in college.

I am passionate about supporting teens and adults in developing the skills they need to thrive and lead. I am a graduate of Boston College and I have two years of tutoring experience in addition to several years of professional training experience. Through Varsity Tutors, I look forward to helping students who want to improve their writing or GRE scores. I live in New York, and in my free time, I enjoy running, traveling, and reading (mostly novels, memoir, and nonfiction related to social justice).

I strongly believe my long years of experience as an instructor and tutor in secondary and tertiary education make me well qualified to help students in my areas of expertise. I believe in helping students find their own strengths and turn their weaknesses into strengths. In my tutoring, I guide students to learn and grow. I try as much as possible to get students to find answers themselves. I'm ready to provide answers where needed, but then I always try to make sure that students have a grasp on those answers and know the how and the why regarding answers.

Hello everyone, I am a young professional and I am an educator. I am currently teaching US History, but have taught a variety of history courses in the past. Being an educator means that I am constantly reading and editing students work. I am constantly lesson planning and thinking about how I can improve upon my craft. I love what I do, and love seeing my students do well both in and outside the classroom. I currently hold a B.A in American Studies from Tufts University and M.ed History from Boston College.

I have taught several years at the undergraduate level in New York City and in New Jersey. Although I was completely comfortable lecturing during my large classes, as an instructor, I made every effort to work one-on-one with my students during office hours and through appointments. I am currently working as a research associate, yet I plan on teaching at the college level again in the future. I would love to continue to hone my craft as a teacher and educator through working with Varsity Tutors!

Currently, I am working concurrently on my JD (at Duke University) and my Ph.D. in Education (at Boston College) and hope to one day combine the two degrees by working in policy. I have tutored or been in the education field my entire life and love it when I am able to help a scholar learn something new. I love to tutor a broad range of subjects but primarily focus on History and English. I particularly love working with scholars on their college essays and finding ways to get their unique voice and experience into writing. Education is crucial and it is important to work with scholars so that they realize the vast amount of knowledge there is in the world. In my free time, I love putting together puzzles, playing Xbox, or cheering on the Dallas Cowboys!

Learning and teaching is never a process which can be properly dictated and planned for, it must evolve based on regular and meaningful interaction between a student and teacher. It is with this mindset that I approach every student I work with, always being cognizant of a specific student's strengths and weaknesses and working to improve every aspect of their academic journey.Moreover, I currently hold my Master's degree in Political Science and International Relations from Boston College where I wrote my thesis on the Middle East entitled, "Economic Opportunity and Inequality as Contributing Factors to the Arab Spring: The Cases of Tunisia and Egypt".

Beyond this I have done certificate coursework at the National University of Singapore in Game Theory, Cambridge University (UK) in ancient empires and politics, Venice International University in globalization and its effects on the modern world, international business, social sustainability, & modern US, EU, and NATO relations, and Boston University in wine studies.I truly look forward to helping with your academic pursuits and making the learning process a fruitful one.

As a current Mathematics and Computer Science student at Boston College, I am passionate about helping students grasp complex concepts in subjects like Algebra, Geometry, and Statistics. With over 2 years of tutoring experience, I focus on creating a supportive learning environment that encourages students to ask questions and explore their understanding. My approach is rooted in patience and adaptability, tailoring my methods to meet each student's unique needs. I find great joy in witnessing their progress and confidence grow, which motivates me to continue my tutoring journey.

I received my B.S. from Union College where I majored in Chemistry and double minored in Dance and Theatrical Makeup. I then received my M.S. from Boston College where I specialized in Organic Chemistry. I have been teaching Chemistry and Physical Science in public and private high school for the past 3 years. I have been doing private tutoring Chemistry since I was a sophomore in college. I particularly love showing students how what they are studying is directly related to the world around them using traditional lecture as well as interactive visuals. I truly believe every student can succeed at science and do everything in my power to instill a passion and love for science in all my students. Outside of science, I spend most of my free time reading, running or performing in various dance companies.

As a social worker (LMSW) with more than 5 years in the field and a robust knowledge of psychology, I find comfort in making exams and tests the least of your worries so you can focus on what matters most. Utilizing a friendly approach, I look forward to fostering connections with students that allow for the least amount of anxiety during my sessions. You can expect a strong sense of humor and relaxed vibe when working with me. "Don't worry, you got this." Big exams can feel daunting at first, lets break them down, and make them manageable.

I enjoy being on the other side of education as a tutor while still improving my own understanding of the subject.Upon graduating from college, I developed tutoring skills while helping high school students prepare for their SAT II Subject Exams, covering wide ranges including math, biology, and chemistry. I was responsible for elaborating on answers using relevant figures and innovative examples, creating catchy mnemonics, and solving problems from students' point of view. As a tutor, I remained accessible but maintained an appropriate distance to earn students' respect, and five out of ten students improved their scores by more than 200 points. Through these teaching experiences, I have learned not only to become a teacher from the students' perspective, but also what it takes to be an effective educational provider and a mentor.While taking six medical school courses throughout my graduate school program, I have been able to practice and enhance teaching methods by organizing study groups that regularly conducted review sessions before exams, highlighting important concepts made during the lectures, sharing concise notes and outlines, bringing up pertinent and innovative questions, and academically stimulating my peers without any unwelcoming pressures. Through these learning and teaching environments, I have directly experienced what interactive measures really foster healthy learning environments.With these experiences and my avid passion, I am confident I will be a valuable asset to your student.
