I believe in creating a supportive learning environment that encourages curiosity and critical thinking, tailoring my approach to meet each student's unique needs. My background in both cellular biology and computational neuropharmacology allows me to connect theoretical concepts with practical applications, making learning engaging and relevant. I am motivated by the opportunity to help students achieve their academic goals and develop a genuine interest in science and computation/mathematics. See qyka.org for more information.
I am a recent graduate of Drexel University, in which I obtained a BS in Biological Sciences with a concentration in organismal physiology. During my college years, I was a peer tutor who would help struggling classmates in many math and science subjects. I also served as a merit badge counselor in my Boy Scout troop, teaching scouts (ages 12-17) in subjects such as First Aid and Emergency Preparedness. These experiences inspired me to continue this passion, striving to make learning a fun, insightful, and a lifelong process while helping students learn in the easiest and most effective way possible. My favorite subject to teach is math, specifically the SAT/ACT math sections. As someone who values education and intellectual curiosity, I hope to impose this same philosophy on my students. In my 7+ months working with Varsity Tutors, I have found profound satisfaction in helping students to the top of their class and increasing their test scores. I am a very flexible tutor willing to work around students' schedules.
Hi! I am a Ph.D. student in Chemical Engineering with a GPA of 3.94. I have eight years of tutoring experience in various science and mathematics subjects and I have also been a teaching assistant for several courses including mass transfer, heat transfer, statistics, and kinetics. I really care about each student I tutor and I believe that every student has the ability to succeed if they are dedicated.I usually only tutor one or two students at a time because then I have enough time to give each student the attention they deserve and I prepare extensively for each tutoring session so they are as productive as possible. My previous students have received A's in difficult engineering courses such as thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and fluid dynamics.As a Ph.D. student, I am constantly confronted with challenging engineering and science problems which require critical problem solving and I try to help students with develop this same type of intellectual autonomy which is usually neglected in large classrooms. Besides helping students develop to their full potential I also often help students with academic planning to get the most out of their college or high school experience. I have also received numerous scholarships and fellowships and can help you apply for these as well.Best Regards,Serge S.
I am a third year at Drexel University majoring in chemical engineering with a minor in communications concentrating in science and technical writing.

I received a Bachelors of Arts in Biology and a minor in Public Health from Temple University in 2010. In May of this year, I received a Masters Degree in Biological Sciences from Drexel University. During my time at Drexel University, I worked as a teaching assistant for a graduate level Anatomy course for a year. This included assisting students with cadaver dissections in gross lab, and tutoring students for the didactic portion of the course. Anatomy is not only my favorite course to tutor in, but also my favorite subject in biology. I find I never get bored teaching Anatomy, because even though we all have similar basic anatomical structures, no two bodies are alike. Although I am very passionate about learning, I make sure all my students have fun. During a typical tutoring session, I try to incorporate videos, textbooks, and models to help the student stay engaged. I make my sessions interactive in hopes of creating an environment where students can learn the material in a style that is most effective for them. In addition to Anatomy, I also tutor Physiology, Biology, General Chemistry, Physics, and elementary math. When I am not working as a tutor I love to travel, play music, and spend time with my friends.
I graduated from Xavier University in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science in Sports Medicine/Athletic Training. In 1998, I earned my Master of Physical Therapy from Allegheny University of the Health Sciences. After working as a physical therapist for several years, I continued practicing and earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2014. I have been a clinical instructor to numerous physical therapy students. In addition, I taught Therapeutic Exercise and Therapeutic Modalities & Pharmacology as an adjunct professor for athletic training students. Because I had experience in opening two physical therapy clinics for a hospital employer and a private practice employer, I decided to utilize that experience to open my own independent physical therapy practice in 2015. After earning my NASM Personal Training Certification and pursuing specializations in Fitness Nutrition and Corrective Exercise, I closed my physical therapy practice in 2021 to focus on my current wellness business. I have passed the NATA-BOC, NATA, NASM-CPT, NASM-FNS, and NASM-CES exams on the first attempt. I know how to prepare, study, and pass professional exams! I currently assist with coaching a USATF XC & Track team; however, I miss teaching academically. I am excited to join the Varsity Tutor platform to teach and mentor students who are interested in athletic training, physical therapy, personal training, and nutrition. I am a gym-rat and an endurance junkie! I workout almost 2 hour every day because I love how exercise increases my energy. I believe my experience across the medical-fitness industry will provide students with great insight into both academic and real-world learning.
I am a structural bridge engineer currently working for a company in Boston. I have always had an interest in teaching either Math or Science but chose a different career path. I keep my passion for teaching and helping others in the subjects I am interested in through tutoring; it is something I thoroughly enjoy doing while helping students excel and achieve their potential in areas they might be struggling in. I have been tutoring in the greater Boston area for the last nine years and have found it rewarding watching students succeed in areas they didn't think they could; moreover, I have patient step by step teaching style that has seemed to work well with a variety of students.
I am a 2015 graduate of Drexel University where I obtained a master of science in neuroscience, but I previously obtained a bachelor of arts in biology, minor in chemistry, at Arcadia University in 2011. I am an experienced tutor in the life sciences with 3 years of undergraduate biology and chemistry tutoring and 2 years of graduate biochemistry and neuroscience tutoring. I generally focus my tutoring on biology, particularly biochemistry, but I enjoy tutoring cellular biology as well. When working with students, I prefer to keep an encouraging and upbeat atmosphere, working alongside students to identify issues in learning and developing a plan to address these problems as a team. Having been a biology student, I understand that it is a challenging subject for many, and I love to not only share my passion but also share encouragement based on personal experience. In addition to my interests in biology and neuroscience, I have a wide range of hobbies including writing (both scientific and fiction), art and drawing, piano, video games, and martial arts.
I graduated cum laude from Drexel University with a major in psychology and a minor in criminal justice.

I hope to make psychology approachable and fun. Book a lesson with me today!
I am very enthusiastic and looking forward to sharing my knowledge with you! I began tutoring in 4th grade as a peer mathematics tutor. Fast forward to college, I have three years of tutoring experience with two of the three years as a teaching assistant. I employ a lot of pictures and relate examples to real-world experience to better connect the classroom to experiences! I graduated in 2020 with a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology with a minor in legal studies and a concentration in politics. Currently, I am a 1L (first year law student).
I am currently a medical student in Philadelphia, and have a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Stony Brook University. I have several years of experience tutoring SAT students, but thanks to my mixed background I have proficiency in a wide range of subjects including mathematics, biological sciences, engineering, and physical sciences.I am passionate about teaching, and have taught healthcare sciences to underprivileged high school students in my spare time. My own experience as a student has taught me that learning new subject material can be intimidating, so my teaching philosophy involves a focus on breaking down complex problems into simpler, less daunting components. As a teacher I am most fulfilled when, through systematic instruction and problem-solving, I am able to promote the type of academic confidence that allows students to achieve their full potential.I was a collegiate rugby player and understand the struggles of the student-athlete. However, I firmly believe that many of the qualities that earn success in athletics can also translate to the classroom. I strive to exemplify this balance and motivate students to pursue success in all areas of their life.
I have just finished my freshman year at Drexel University. I really enjoy tutoring and spent my senior year of high school working as an SAT prep and general math tutor. I look forward to working with anyone helping them love the subjects I'm tutoring them in as much as I do.
My philosophy for teaching is strongly supported by my belief that all students deserve access to quality education. Not all students come from the same background, thus I strive to create an all accepting classroom environment that meets each students' specific needs. I make sure to meet all my students where they are, whatever level that may be, and help build them up to surpass their expectations and achieve their goals.I prefer to have a wide net of teaching methods geared towards addressing different learning styles, because I feel it is important to design my methods in a way that collectively supports my students' distinct learning processes. My goal is to provide students with the opportunity to learn in the way that fits best for them. I believe students should be able to learn in a stress-free environment and at a pace that does not impose unnecessary pressure on their learning process.Through my extended experience as an educator, I have always made it a personal goal to make the learning process for my students enjoyable and engaging. I am a very quirky, positive, and outgoing person which translates over to how I connect with my students. It is of utmost importance to me that my students smile and laugh in my classroom and genuinely want to come to class. I will always go above and beyond for my students, as it is my passion to ensure that they all have a progressive educational experience that leads them on toward future success.
I have spent my professional career of 25+ years working in K-12 and higher education.I received my Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance at the University of Maryland. My first Master's degree is from the University of Portland in Music Education and my second, aMaster of Science degree in Arts Administration from Drexel University. I was executive director of an arts education organization that reached 70,000 PreK-12 students each year. There I developed curriculum-based programs to bring artist residencies into schools. My current position is that of marketing director at a college of music at a large urban university. What I most enjoy about my past and current jobs is interacting and mentoring college and high school students -- talking to them about their goals and helping them to prepare to enter the workforce. I was a reading tutor for adults through a YMCA program and taught private piano lessons to children and seniors. I am a member of several cultural organizations as well as the local rotary club. In my spare time, I play piano, quilt and read.
I have an undergraduate degree in Archaeology and another in Biology from Boston University. I have a M.S. in Interdisciplinary Health Sciences from Drexel University. I am currently a second-year medical student in my gap year from University of Queensland-Ochsner Clinical school. I have been tutoring basic science and social science for the past 10 years. I love tutoring both English and Biology. I use metacognition strategies to improve learning so that students can gain both the confidence and the tools for self-motivation in the future. I really believe that you can learn any subject, by taking a step back, assessing what you know and don't know, and then creating that bridge of understanding. I am here to both help with building that bridge and to encourage you to your best self.
I LOVE BIOLOGY. Joking aside I am currently finishing up my masters degree in biology (MBS) from Drexel University and this work is following a bachelors degree in biological sciences (BS) from Rhode Island College. I also and applying to medical schools for the class of 2021 and have experience with both the old and new MCAT and the application cycle so I encourage students if they have questions to ask away. My hobbies include sports, travel, and movies.
When I think of what learning means to me, I think of gaining knowledge or a skill based upon being taught, studying yourself, or an experience. My grandfather used to always say that "education is the one thing people can't take away from you" and it is true, once you know something it's there to stay. A successful learning situation for myself would be being able to teach someone something, not only so they understand it, but also understand it enough to ask questions and think critically about it. I want to be able to challenge and intrigue my students, and leave them curious about the subjects they are learning.I place a high value on critical thinking, while tutoring the best question I can be asked is "But why" it means the student is thinking critically about the answer and the concept and not just trying to learn the answer. A teaching method I employ often is the use of a real-life example. Something that I think helps a student learn a concept is being able to apply what they are learning in their subjects to their everyday life. Breaking down something in terms of an idea that the student can relate too can be beneficial when trying to help them grasp a concept. Additionally, I place a high value on being able to switch up the teaching method if I see that one method is not working and a student is still struggling.Currently, I am studying at Drexel University in a dual degree program to obtain my Bachelors and Masters in Psychology. Psychology is a favorite subject of mine to tutor but another favorite of mine is english and reading comprehension. Outside of the academic world I also enjoy reading for fun as well as running and learning to cook new dishes. I have had experience working with children through years of being a camp counselor and I have had direct tutoring experience from helping local Philadelphia residents work towards their GEDs at a community center near my house.I would like to have a tutoring environment where students feel comfortable to challenge themselves as well as me. I want my students to feel curious and intrigued about the subjects they are learning. Most importantly any tutoring session I have will be an open and comfortable learning environment.
I am looking to help students understand and learn whatever materials they are having trouble with. I have tutored for roughly 2 years while I was in high school. I'm currently in my third year of studying Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University. I would like to aid students in any way possible.
I have spent a huge portion of my life in education, both pursuing it and dispensing it. I have a B.S. in Environmental Science from Drexel University, and a M.S. in Environmental Science from Stockton University. I first started working as a tutor in 2012, when I tutored students in writing at Drexel, and went on to work as a tutor in a wider variety of subjects - environmental science, biology, writing, European and U.S. History, and other social studies courses- for students ranging from middle school through college. I am currently working as a lab instructor at Temple University, where I teach both underclass and upperclass biology courses.I aim to make learning fun and take pride in engaging my students on the topic of the day, even when it's something they may not be as passionate about. I work hard to engage my students, and try to approach the material from an angle that will draw them in. I am comfortable in group settings, or one-on-one, either in person or virtually, and like to tailor my sessions to the individual needs of the student - whether they need help understanding the material, with strategies for studying, or even just with motivation. I have a good deal of experience working with students who are studying for the AP exams, and have many strategies for studying for them (especially for those students who don't like to study!).
I grew up in OKC, OK and went to high school in Edmond, OK. I have a B.S. in Sociology from OU, a M.S. in Biomedical Sciences from Drexel University in Philadelphia, and I am currently in my last year of medical school at OU. I am preparing for a career as an emergency medicine physician. I enjoy being outside and going on hikes with my husband. I also like to wind down by baking and bingeing shows!
I am a registered nurse and lifelong educator with a passion for helping learners succeed. I have a bachelor's degree from Pennsylvania State University and a master's degree from Drexel University. I am a certified teacher and principal in the state of Pennsylvania. And I am currently enrolled in a Doctor of Education program. I have taught at the high school level, and I currently teach at two community colleges and manage a state-certified nurse aide training program. I believe everyone can learn if they are provided with the tools and time to succeed. When I am not teaching, I enjoy cooking, baking, reading, traveling, and everything Disney.
Hello and thank you for your interest. My name is Stephanie and I've worked as a creative services producer for a local television station for a few years before becoming an elementary school teacher. I've always enjoyed working with children and was excited to take on the role as a Kindergarten teacher 7 years ago and also an online ESL teacher roughly 4 years ago. I often describe teaching as going to an ice cream party everyday: lots of fun, maybe some spills, different flavors of personalities and then more fun the next day. I take learning and educating very seriously however, in the classroom it's all about fun and adventures while learning. Thank you so much for your time and I hope to be your tutor soon.
I'm currently a sophomore at Drexel University in Philadelphia pursuing a BA in Law and a BS in Criminology and Justice Studies. I have been a tutor for over five years now, and I have experience instructing students ages 7-18 in a variety of subjects, including Math, ELA, Social Studies, and SAT/SSAT prep. In the past, I've assisted students in achieving their academic goals by breaking down their work into manageable chunks and diligently practicing their problems. I'm a big believer in being a clear communication with students and inviting them to invest in their work. I hope to continue that success here!

I am nearing the completion of an accelerated bachelor's and master's degree in biomedical engineering with a concentration in Neuroengineering from Drexel University. I have been tutoring elementary school, middle school, high school, and college students since I graduated from a science and math focused magnet high school program in 2021. I normally tutor students in math subjects, from elementary school math to college differential equations and statistics. I strongly believe that each student has a unique learning style, and by finding out what exactly this learning style is, I tailor my lessons accordingly so that my students understand me better. It is important to me to learn from the student just as much as they would learn from me, and my mission is to not only guide my students through the difficulties they are facing with their academics, but to also provide my students with the tools to be able to eventually become independent learners.
As an Educator, it is my responsibility to ensure that my students receive a quality education in a safe environment. My students will receive quality support services from me. My education includes a Bachelor of History from Temple University and a Master's Degree in Teaching, Learning and Curriculum from Drexel University.
I have my Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University. Up until server issues destroyed all the data I had been working on for years, I was a PhD student working on Machine Learning. During my time as a PhD student, I was a Teaching Assistant and always found my passion in helping students learn. I was involved with many subjects including Circuits, Circuits Labs, Fourier/Laplace Transforms, Python, Matlab, Control Engineering, and Probability. For several of these classes, I would end up having regular students visit me during office hours since they tended to learn better from me than they would from the actual professor. My favorite times came when I was the teaching assistant for probability courses. Due to their difficulty, I had found myself starting off teaching one student, then next week they bring a friend, and the following week they would bring more friends. By the final exam, I was practically running my own class in the subject.
Hey! I bet I can help you. I am generally laid back in my approach to teaching and strongly believe that EVERYONE can succeed in math and science. The nice thing about these subjects is that there is a right answer and there is always a way to get to it.About my styleI love when students have questions. It will help me to help you. I remember hating when my teachers didn't take the time in class to explain the answers to my questions and I promise that whether you want the long or short answer I will give it to you or research it until I can. If you decide to set up sessions with me, it will be a discussion and an interactive learning process (you get lectured enough in class). When solving problems, I like to guide students to the answer without giving it to them; I have always found this to be the best way to learn. I can also provide full solutions when it comes time to study for that big test.My backgroundI am a graduating senior completing both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in the accelerated Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics program at Drexel University. In addition, I have completed all of the pre-medicine coursework requirements. I am a member of the Pennoni Honors College and an officer in Pi Tau Sigma, the International Mechanical Engineering Honor Society. Upon graduation, I will begin my Ph.D. in the same field, also at Drexel. My area of focus is biomechanics and I have worked in industry for a year designing orthopaedic implants and surgical tools, I have done undegraduate research in tissue engineering, and I am in the process of designing a new total ankle replacement for my Master's thesis.
I'm an experienced tutor with a Bachelor's in Biology and 3 years teaching experience, and I love helping students succeed in subjects like Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy, and Math. Being fluent in both English andSpanish and having lived 5 years in Spain, I also enjoy teaching Spanish and ESL. I've worked with students of all ages and levels, and I'm excited to bring my passion for teaching to your child. I'm all about creating a positive, personalized learning experience that helps students feel confident and reach their goals!
I am a graduate of Drexel University with a Bachelor Degree in Mechanical Engineering. I retired in October 2017 after 44 years of professional engineering experience. Math has always been one of my favorite subjects. In the past I have had opportunities to teach others on an informal basis. I relish the opportunity to work with others who want to improve their skills. Anyone can do well in math once they develop some confidence in their ability. Being able to solve problems that may have seemed impossible can be an exhilarating experience. Other personal hobbies include working on computers, watching movies and listening to music.
I started as a pre-med major at Pomona College. However, the academic success I achieved in high school did not translate I had to relearn how to approach academics. A large influence on my change was my experience with Building Leaders on Campus (BLOC), an organization predominantly comprised of men of color to develop our leadership potential. This organization developed me as a leader and gave me a foundation for understanding what it takes to lead a team. I started this organization as a freshman, and devoted a large amount of my time to it by fundraising, organizing diversity-centered events and developing it into a self-sustaining entity that comprises at least thirty students every year. This was my first opportunity to act as a conduit helping people in my community learn more about taking care of themselves. I helped build a safe space for students who felt marginalized and silenced. Like the way I wanted to help people in my community with their health issues. It gave me the leadership and interpersonal skills needed to become a physician.I entered a rigorous graduate program to become a more competitive applicant. While in school I volunteered at the Ronald McDonald house also while working 20 hours a week as a server and 20-30 hours a week performing research. This taught me how manage my time well like how I would need to in medical school. Volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House allows me to experience numerous disparities firsthand and to build a personal connection with families whose child is undergoing long term care. This is the difference between treating the symptoms and considering the factors that may cause them like ethnicity, environment, and socioeconomic status. This work I can bridge the gap between treating a patient and treating the person. It allows me to see a side of healthcare that I feel is missed.Pomona's interdisciplinary approach gave me the opportunity to learn about the sociological determinants of health, about how disconnects between doctors and their patients are anything but rare, and about how these disconnects can be improved through cultural competency. This mixed with the leadership skills I gained with BLOC fueled my desire to become a physician. By combining these skills with the understanding that I gained from my coursework of the sociological structures that influence health outcomes in those same communities, I will be a leader in my community who will educate others. I want to communicate between the unaware and the informed to decrease these disconnects in my future community.In the future, I would like to work in a hospital that caters to low socioeconomic populations, much like Ben Taub hospital, and volunteer at free clinics. I would like to influence medicine so that I will be able to cater to communities like my own and improve health outcomes among minorities. I am drawn to primary care because it will allow me to bridge disconnects between underserved communities, patients, like Guillermo, and their doctors. I am confident that my ability to communicate empathetically with people from various backgrounds will be beneficial in an intensive care setting. I am excited to dedicate myself to a career as a physician serving the underserved, eagerly awaiting the opportunities and challenges ahead.
Hello! I am a medical doctor that has an incredible passion for teaching. I graduated from the University of Maryland College Park with a major in Neurobiology & Physiology with a minor in Human Development. I believe interactive learning is the best form of retaining knowledge but I am also able to cater to many learning styles. Helping people understand complex subjects with fun memorizing skills is the best part of teaching!
I am a clinical RDN with clinical nutrition research, teaching, and tutoring experience. I am passionate about teaching and helping my students and dietetic interns to accomplish their goals. I take pride in finding new, fun, and silly, yet memorable, ways of breaking down difficult material. I value taking time with students so that they truly understand concepts, instead of just memorizing it (especially for the RD exam). Students have said they really enjoy and find it helpful when I use my clinical and research background to apply topics being learned to real-life examples.Courses I am confident in tutoring include:- RD Exam Prep- Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) I, II, and III- Macronutrient Metabolism- Micronutrient Metabolism- Foodservice Management- World Nutrition- Research Methods- Nutrition Counseling- Nutrition Assessment through the Lifecycle- Community Nutrition- Nutritional Biochemistry- Statistics 101I primarily prepare students for the RD exam but I am happy to help with any nutrition-related course/classwork and provide guidance to students aiming to match with dietetic internships as well. I can also help with resume preparation, mock interviews, and general guidance throughout the DICAS application process.My favorite course to tutor are Medical Nutrition Therapy because of my clinical and clinical nutrition research background and RD exam prep.I currently hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree from CUNY Hunter College. I graduated from Drexel University with a Master of Science in Human Nutrition with a Clinical Nutrition Research concentration in 2019. Afterward, I matched with my first ranked internship choice and went on to complete my dietetic internship at the National Institutes of Health. I am a Ph.D. student and teacher's assistant at Drexel University in their Nutrition Sciences department, with a concentration in nutritional neuroscience. I currently part part-time as a clinical dietitian and dietetic intern preceptor as well.
Hi, I'm James. I'm a cybersecurity professional, former university instructor, and longtime competitive chess player who enjoys helping students grow in both technical and strategic thinking skills. I previously taught cybersecurity at Rice University and have mentored students and professionals in IT, problem-solving, and analytical thinking. I also bring years of experience in tournament chess, where I trained under former Women's World Chess Champion Alexandra Kosteniuk and competed in state and collegiate championships. My teaching style is patient, structured, and encouraging. Whether we are working on a computer science concept, preparing for a certification, or improving chess fundamentals, I focus on breaking complex ideas into clear steps and helping students understand the reasoning behind what they are learning. In chess lessons, that means learning how to think through positions and build good habits, not just memorizing moves. In technology subjects, it means understanding how systems work together rather than just following instructions. I work with students of different ages and experience levels, and I tailor each session to the student's goals and learning style. My aim is always the same: to help students build confidence, develop strong thinking skills, and leave each session feeling more capable than when they started.

Yes. Drexel's curriculum is known for academic rigor, particularly in engineering, mathematics, and sciences. Tutors who have completed these programs are well-equipped to help with challenging upper-level courses, technical subjects, and problem-intensive material. Whether you're working through calculus, organic chemistry, computer science fundamentals, or any other demanding subject, connecting with a tutor who has successfully completed similar coursework at Drexel provides confidence that they can guide you through complex concepts.
While textbooks and online resources present information the same way to everyone, personalized 1-on-1 instruction adapts to how you learn. A tutor from Drexel can identify gaps in your understanding, adjust pacing, and focus on exactly what you need—whether that's filling in foundational knowledge or diving deeper into advanced topics. Research in educational psychology shows that 1-on-1 instruction significantly outpaces traditional classroom learning, and having a tutor who understands rigorous coursework firsthand means they can explain material in multiple ways until it clicks for you.
