Award-Winning Tutors from Johns Hopkins University

I just graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a dual degree in Applied Math and Economics. During my high school and college experience, I tutored high school students in math for 2 years, so I am familiar with teaching for all high school math. I have also been a teaching assistant for Intro Python and Microeconomic Theory, so I am comfortable tutoring introductory computer science and economics. Most importantly, I was a student just a month ago, so I know how it feels and want to help students in whatever way I can!

I graduated from Georgia Southern University with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and with a Bachelor of Science in Broadcasting. I also earned a Master of Science in Education from Johns Hopkins University. I currently teach 9th grade English I and English I Honors. I love teaching, and more than my love for teaching, I love helping students to realize and reach their potential. My hobbies include reading and digital editing.Each tutoring session will be an opportunity for students to ask questions, make mistakes, and overcome deficiencies. Students will leave each session with a strategy (or more) that will help them to succeed in their area (s) of focus. Having worked with students who fall below their grade level proficiency, I exercise patience and practical teaching strategies to meet students where they are. I am fully committed to helping students reach their academic goals!

I am a rising junior at Johns Hopkins University double majoring in Molecular and Cellular Biology and the History of Science and Technology. It has always been a passion of mine to explore the details of science. Within these details, my curiosity engages me to pry and ask more questions. One of the ways I am able to do this is at my lab at Hopkins where I do research and design experiments on the neuronal membrane proteasome. Tutoring allows me to spread my passion for biology and chemistry, while also challenging my scientific knowledge. I encourage students to ask questions, will teach them how to apply their knowledge, and emphasize why an answer is correct. Getting the correct answer is not as important as understanding the fundamentals as to how someone arrives at that answer. I have previous experience teaching science through leading study groups at college and teaching high schoolers at my previous lab the fundamentals of biology, experimentation, and laboratory techniques. Outside of classwork, I have played saxophone for 11 years, enjoy running, and am a big New York sports fan.

With a Masters in Statistics and a Bachelors in Applied Mathematics, I have a passion for numbers and problem solving. I enjoy empowering students to feel confident in their coursework and give them the tools to succeed. I am comfortable with all levels of mathematics from pre-alegebra through college statistics.

I am a first year student at Johns Hopkins University interested in primarily studying neuroscience and public health on the premed track, while continuing to develop my writing and communication skills. I believe that in marrying my strengths as a communicator and my passion for the sciences, I will successfully contribute to the scientific community in the future. I have always been an enthusiastic student, and hope to share this love for learning with others. I am so excited to meet all of you!

Hi! My name is Madeline Noble and I am currently a graduate student Johns Hopkins University getting my masters in chemical and biomolecular engineering. I have spent a lot of time around children and I have spent a good amount of time teaching as well. I want all students that I tutor to feel comfortable when I am tutoring them and I believe all students have the ability to improve. I am very comfortable teaching all subjects for grades up to 9th grade and, when dealing with high school courses, I love to tutor most math and science courses including many AP courses. I also have a lot of experience with standardized test prep and love to tutor for that as well.

Hello! I'm here to help you reach your academic goals, build confidence and organization, and have fun in the process. I am a certified high school English teacher who is passionate about bringing literature to life with students and empowering their voices, written and spoken. My experience is primarily in a public, IB-for-all school, and I get excited about bringing global perspectives into the education. In terms of my own educational background, I received my B.A. in Psychology from Kent State and my Master's in Education from Johns Hopkins. I have taken many literature courses for pleasure and professional development.

My name is Golddy Saldana and I am a recent graduate of The Johns Hopkins University where I received a B.S. in Neuroscience and Visual Arts. Currently, I am studying for my Masters in Narrative Medicine at Columbia University. I have ample experience working with and teaching children of all ages. In previous years, I have tutored for the SAT, ACT, geometry, and calculus. Given my academic background, I also feel confident and readily prepared to teach high school and college-level Biology and Chemistry.

As a dedicated tutor with a Bachelor's in Psychology from Johns Hopkins University, I have over 2 years of experience in fostering academic growth in elementary literacy and math, as well as preparing adults for their NREMT exams. My involvement in the Johns Hopkins Tutorial Project allowed me to tailor my teaching methods to meet the unique needs of each student, emphasizing foundational skills before advancing to more complex concepts. I strive to create a supportive and engaging learning environment by incorporating interactive techniques, such as games and hands-on activities, to build confidence and enthusiasm for learning. My background as an EMT for over four years enriches my tutoring approach, as I connect theoretical knowledge to real-world applications, particularly in emergency medical training. I find great joy in nurturing a love for learning and empowering my students to achieve their academic goals.

Hi, I'm Vishal, a PhD chemist and postdoctoral researcher at Penn State. I specialize in helping students truly understand chemistrynot just memorize it. My background spans general chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and inorganic chemistry, and I've spent years studying how reactions actually work at a mechanistic level. That means I can break down even the most complex topics into simple, intuitive ideas. In my sessions, I focus on three things: clarity, problem-solving, and confid

I have a PhD in Psychological and Brain Sciences from Johns Hopkins University and a BA in Psychology with a minor in History from Barnard College. I have experience teaching and tutoring undergraduate students and have volunteered as a high school math tutor. I have a strong interest in most academic subjects but I particularly enjoy tutoring math. I've made extensive use of statistics as part of my research on vision and attention so I'm in a good position to talk about how certain concepts are used in the real world. I'm also a huge bookworm and offer SAT Critical Reading prep as well as general tutoring for writing. My hobby is creative writing and I'm currently writing up parts of my dissertation for publication, so I can help with writing from literary analysis to history research papers to the writing aspect of lab reports. When I'm not reading or writing, I'm playing the hammered dulcimer and teaching myself to code in new languages.When a student is struggling I'm always on the lookout for issues that don't have to do with the specific subject matter, such as test anxiety, a lack of organization, of a belief that the subject matter will not be useful later in life. When it comes to the actual material, I believe that there is almost always more than one way to approach a problem and that students should figure out what works best for them. I've studied learning and memory extensively, so I'm always ready to offer up advice. Not everyone learns the same way, and that's fine! While it's ideal for students to gain a deep understanding of the material, when it comes to standardized and multiple choice tests, test-taking strategies make a huge difference. I've used these strategies very successfully in the past.

Hello, I have a masters degree in biology and work in the biotech industry as a research scientist.I have lived all over the country, which has been a great experience. I attended undergrad at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Then, I completed an AmeriCorps program working in a hospital in Los Angeles, California. I then attended graduate school at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois.While in graduate school, I was a TA and helped several undergrads in biology. I have found that several students have the potential to do well in school. The problems they face can be due to a variety of reasons, and one-on-one tutoring is a great way to help students figure out what those problems are and find out how to master the material.Aside from my math and science interests, I enjoy hanging out with family/friends, reading, movies, traveling, and I'm down for trying almost anything. I also love dogs and have recently adopted my own puppy - a tri-colored, rough coat collie - and I'm having a great time raising him.

As a tutor with Varsity Tutors, I hope to use my knowledge to teach students in need. I love being a tutor because getting to help others achieve academic success is a very rewarding. I enjoy being able to pass along the things that helped me to do well in my classes to other students who will benefit from them. In regards to my tutoring style, I am very big on allowing my students to actively learn. I believe that this is the best way for my students to learn because it helps them pick up on new information and skills quickly.

Hi I'm Jason. I am pre-med and graduated college this year with Delta Omega Honors and Deans' List from Johns Hopkins University. In high school, I had a 4.1 GPA and and graduated high honors in the top 10% of my class. My job as a tutor is to help you exceed your academic goals and find improvement in test and homework scores asap.I give students encouragement, consistently check for their understanding of the material throughout the lesson, and am ready to answer questions. Flexible Scheduling. Active communication with parents and guardians.

Hey y'all! My name is Claire, and I am so excited to teach online this year. For the last seven years, I taught all over the country (Charleston, SC, Nashville, TN, Portland, OR, and Vancouver, WA) and also earned a master's degree in education from Johns Hopkins University along the way.I hated math as a kid because my teachers always made me feel stupid in class for not understanding right away. I became a math teacher because I saw how many people get stuck in their education and careers when they run into trouble in math class. Working with me, you will understand how capable you are and will never have to feel embarrassed for learning. Come to class to ask questions and learn with me!

Hi! My name is Chelsea and I'm a current medical student passionate about making difficult topics understandable to all students. I believe that catering how I teach to different learning styles and making real world connections helps to break down challenging subjects. I specifically enjoy teaching subjects related to science, reading comprehension, and psychology but I have a strong background in many subjects.

I am an experienced tutor specializing in history and social studies subjects, as well as SAT Math. I graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 2013 with a BA in European History and I have been tutoring for three years. In the past two years, I have privately tutored many high school students in the New York City area in a variety of subjects, including for AP classes and tests in US, European, and World History. I am passionate about history and geography and I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for those subjects with my students. My favorite subject to tutor is European history, although I enjoy working in all social studies subjects. I also really enjoy math tutoring and I have experience tutoring it up to the SAT level. In addition to my private tutoring, I tutor elementary school students in an academic enrichment program run by the New York Public Library. I spent a year from 2014 to 2015 working full time as a tutoring fellow at a charter school in Massachusetts. My main responsibility was tutoring individual students to prepare them for the Math and ELA portions of the state standardized test. I strongly believe in the value of education, and I find that few things are more rewarding than helping a student learn and develop academically. Beyond tutoring, I am working on my own history teaching project and I enjoy reading and playing chess.

I received my PhD in mathematics from Drexel University in 2019. I really enjoyed teaching as a graduate student, and working as a tutor here seems like a nice way to get back into it. Before graduate school, I went to Johns Hopkins. I started out as a "chemical and biomolecular engineering" major, but then ended up switching to a double major in math and electrical engineering. I graduated with a BA in math and MS in electrical engineering. From there, I went to Drexel University to write and defend my dissertation in mathematics, which was about two unsolved problems in linear algebra. While in Johns Hopkins and Drexel University, I ended up teaching a lot of math and a bit of science not only as a tutor, but also as a teaching assistant and as a primary instructor. Since then, I've been working as a mathematician; I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Free University of Brussels for one year, and then as a research scientist at the Air Force Research Lab in Dayton, Ohio for two years. It's been a rewarding career, but I have missed teaching. When it comes to teaching, I try my best to take a flexible approach and meet students where they are. I am a big believer in the power of intuition and curiosity, so I try to teach in a way that nurtures both. I find that it is important not only to know how to get from problem statement to solution, but also to have some understanding of why the pieces fit together the way they do. Besides math and teaching, I enjoy singing, playing piano, playing online chess, and doing the New York Times crossword (and other word games). Lately, I've been trying to get back into running and yoga.

I am currently a Freshman majoring in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. Before attending the university, I went to a high school in Illinois called the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. There, I served as a Residential Hall Tutor, where I would serve shifts every day and help students in my residential hall who needed help on their homework or help studying for tests. In addition, I was a part of the school's PROMISE program that helped to foster interest in math and science among underprivileged and economically disadvantaged middle school students. I developed and taught curriculum to a group of 20 students.Throughout my tutoring experience, I have enjoyed tutoring math and chemistry the most. In fact, I loved it so much that I chose to pursue a major requiring chemistry.Outside of academics, I like to work out, play basketball, watch tv (especially the Marvel tv series on Netflix), and play video games.

As a graduate of Johns Hopkins University with a Bachelor's in Materials Science and Engineering, I have over 5 years of tutoring experience across various subjects, including Algebra, Geometry, Biology and Chemistry. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel confident to explore and ask questions. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet each student's unique needs, encouraging them to connect concepts with real-world applications. My passion for teaching stems from witnessing students gain clarity and confidence in their abilities, which motivates me to continually refine my methods. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring new technologies and engaging with nature, which often inspires my lessons.

I am a biochemistry and biotechnology professional with a strong background in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, scientific writing, academic communication, English, French, ESL, and FSL. I enjoy helping students make difficult material feel more approachable, whether we are working through a science concept, preparing for an exam, improving a writing assignment, or building confidence in a second language. I have been tutoring on and off since elementary school, so helping others understand challenging material has been part of my life for a long time. My teaching style is practical, supportive, and student-centered. I meet students where they are, identify what they already understand or can already communicate, and then help them bridge the gap step by step. For science students, I focus on helping them understand the "why" behind the material rather than simply memorizing terms or formulas. I use clear explanations, real-world examples, active recall, concept mapping, and guided problem-solving to help students build stronger foundations. For writing and language students, I use an immersive and communication-focused approach. I help students express their ideas more clearly, naturally, and confidently. I am bilingual in English and French. French is technically my native language, and I lived in France for six years, where I completed my high school education. This gives me a personal understanding of what it feels like to study, write, and communicate across languages. My goal is to help students feel less overwhelmed, more organized, and more confident in their own abilities. Whether a student needs support in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, scientific writing, academic English, ESL, French, or FSL, I aim to create a learning environment where questions are welcome, mistakes are part of the process, and progress feels achievable.

I am a graduate of Skidmore College. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree, magna cum laude, in English with a minor in Art History. I also received departmental honors for my capstone paper. In January, I will begin my Master of Arts in Public Relations at Johns Hopkins University.

Hi, I recently graduated as a premed Biology major from The Johns Hopkins University (the 11th ranked university, and a leading research university in the U.S.). I'm currently living in Austin Texas, and will be commuting to Houston regularly to visit my family and friends.I understand that each student's goals will be different. I hope to tailor my tutoring to each students interests, and goals. My teaching philosophy also includes, presenting a subject or concept in different ways to help reinforce the student's understanding. I also give amazing tips/life hacks on how to get the most out of studying and improve memory. Knowing that people love to hear how smart they are, I never fail to let my tutees know, while objectively letting them know ways they need to improve. positive reinforcement / affirmation - it helps people learn better.In my free time I play sports (basketball, football, any sport with a ball) and instruments (piano, and guitar). I have a respect and an interest in people with different hobbies because I like to learn from them. So do not be deterred if we spend our free time differently.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Cell and Molecular Biology with a minor in Chemistry at Texas Tech University. Currently, I am striving towards my Master of Science in Environmental Sciences and Policy at Johns Hopkins University, and will be obtaining my degree in May of 2022. Being a student myself, I am excellent at pinpointing what each learner needs to succeed. I was a former educator at a community college focusing on biology and microbiology. This college had multiple early college high school programs in place, therefore I have taught at the high school and college level. Prior to that, I was a group tutor for honors biology (known as a supplemental instructor), in which I created review packets and held sessions for the students. More than halfway through my advanced graduate program, I feel confident in my ability to stretch my teaching skills past biology and microbiology, into environmental science as well!The foundation of my teaching philosophy is to be patient and motivational. I encourage students to take their time and we can always attempt different learning methods or routes until the student truly understands the concept. I focus on reiterating concepts, drawing images and writing helpful key words on the whiteboard, and asking the student questions throughout the lesson to ensure they are grasping the material.I would love to help you succeed!

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and Statistics and Economics from Johns Hopkins University and a Master's degree in Biostatistics from Boston University.
