I taught Mathematics for over 28 years at the University, Community College, and High school levels. I tutored elementary, middle school and high school students in Mathematics and Statistics. I have been teaching in the US, India, and Guyana. What sets me apart is my experience and ability to explain basic as well as advanced concepts in Mathematics. My Master's degree in engineering and experience of teaching Business Mathematics at the University level gives me the opportunity to show to my students a wide range of applications in science, technology, engineering, and business. I am a critical thinker, a problem solver, and a life-long learner who inspires students to achieve their maximum potential. Empathetic, passionate, and approachable with the drive to cultivate a beneficial and diverse learning environment for all students.I love to have fun while teaching Mathematics and share cool stories from my past as a student in USSR.

Becoming a teacher has always been my lifelong dream. I grew up watching my mom come home every day after school, and while she complained about how bad her middle school students were, I could always see the impact she had on them and that was what I wanted to achieve as well. To begin my experience in teaching, I started out with the closest source: my church's children's ministry. Through this, I taught and sat in classes from babies all the way to 6th grade. Being there in the classroom made me feel like I was impacting the lives of the children learning there and I realized that this is what I wanted. This is what I aimed for as a teacher. I went to Howard Community College in 2018 and since then, I have gone through 3 transitions in majors, from Audio, Visual, Media Production (AVMP) to Early Childhood Education, to Elementary Education/Special Education, and finally settling on, and graduating with, an Associate of Arts in Elementary Education. At the same time, I attended the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) where I studied as an English major on the Elementary Education certification pathway. With an AA already in my hand, I'm working towards a Bachelor's in English Literature, but my true aim is to be an Elementary School teacher, with English as my specialty. But other than English, I teach Math and Mandarin Chinese. I chose these two subjects because these are the two I have the highest confidence in when it comes to imparting knowledge. If I had to pick my favorite, however, it would be English as well. I chose English because it's my area of study, but also because it's what I have the highest confidence in when teaching Elementary School. When I teach or tutor, I believe in allowing students to learn through connections. It's not enough to give the information to them straight, you've got to make it connect with them somehow. Also, I believe in a welcoming learning environment, where students can learn in peace. I aim to work hard and do the best I can, and I understand that not every student is a good one, but that will not stop me from doing my job to the best of my ability. But when I'm not doing my job, I like to read books and travel and enjoy my alone time.

I excel at connecting different concepts and ideas in a way that helps students understand challenging subjects by making them relatable, practical, and easier to visualize. One of my strengths is recognizing patterns across topics and using analogies, real-world examples, and creative comparisons to help students make sense of new information. I am especially skilled at breaking down complex ideas into clear, manageable steps while showing students how different concepts connect. Beyond academics, I focus heavily on motivation, confidence-building, and helping students believe in their own ability to grow. My tutoring style is supportive, encouraging, and designed to help students not only improve their skills, but also develop stronger thinking habits, problem-solving strategies, and self-confidence.

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'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 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 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 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 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 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!
