Instructor & GuideThese are only a couple of the hats that I wear. I am an instructor; the information that I possess needs to be handed down to my tutees. Using a variation of learning styles, I hope to give every tutee the best chance to learn the material. I am a guide; I give each tutee the means he/she needs to accomplish a task and I steer him/her in the correct direction.Individual & LearnerEach tutee is an individual capable of learning all there is to know in the world. Every tutee possesses unique qualities that are brought to the table. These qualities can be used, molded, and perfected. Tutees are learners; although it is every tutor's dream to have scholars as their tutee, I believe it is more realistic to see the role of my tutees as being that of a learner taking in the knowledge that I am providing them with.Safe & DiverseIn order for my tutees to learn the most they can, I ensure an environment that is safe and diverse. My tutees know they are safe physically and mentally; they are able to speak their minds and know their opinions count. The more diverse I am with teaching styles, the better my equipped I am to help different tutees learn. Using visual, auditory, and hands-on learning styles is something I believe to be a key component in the best learning environment.I have been tutoring for eight years. I have worked with children as young as one to adults in their forties. I am a Master level certified tutor through the CRLA and I have my Masters in Education from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth as well as my initial license to teach Math 8-12. I also have my Bachelors of Science in Zoo Science from Friends University and an Associates degree in Liberal Arts - Math and Science - from Bristol Community College. I really enjoy tutoring and bringing a tutee from a place where they are vulnerable and confused to a place where they are comfortable and confident. I enjoy tutoring Mathematics the most out of my subjects because I've always easily understood Math and find it is where students typically have the most difficulty. Although Mathematics is my favorite, I also tutor in public speaking, science, and English. Beyond tutoring, I really enjoy reading and doing anything that involves the outdoors.

Hello! My name is Jon, and I'm excited to introduce myself. Originally from New York City, I moved to Houston in 2012 to pursue my passion for sports and health, completing my degree in Human Performance, related to kinesiology. I am a cybersecurity professional with over 15 years of experience, holding a CISSP and a CompTIA Security+ certification. I also have a Master's in Sports Management, focusing on the intersection of business and sports, and a Master's in Management Information Systems, which equips me to manage and secure information systems effectively. With over 10 years of teaching experience, I've educated K-12 and university students as a visiting professor. I hold a certification in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, enhancing my ability to support diverse learners. My goal is to simplify complex concepts in cybersecurity and physical education, empowering students to master essential knowledge and succeed in their examinations.

I believe every child can be successful with fun, engaging lessons that allow students to meet learning goals.

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 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 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'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 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 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.
