I've been working as a math tutor for most of my life, and I pride myself on my ability to work with an individual student to figure out how to connect with them, since the first thing any student needs is a willingness to try.

Hi! I am really excited to be a varsity tutor. My favorite subjects are probably Math and History. I dig anime and art. It's going to be really fun to work with you.I specialize in special education environments. I work as a tutor for foster youth in CUNY colleges currently and have also worked in high school as a resource specialist as well as in Montessori settings as well. I have worked with many students who are classified ELL/ESL. I also have about 15 years experience with all forms of learning disabilities, especially students with ADD/ADHD and Autism. I can work however with anyone who feels like they need something alternative to a traditional learning setting. Learning with me will be fun and productive.I am a phenomenal guide for boosting your scores on the ACT, SAT, PSAT, CHSPE, SSAT, ISEE, GRE, GED, CSET, and CBEST exams.

Corey
MFA Loyola Marymount University • MFA The Ohio State University

I am a former Teach For America corps member who spent several years teaching English and writing in New York City and Atlanta classrooms, working with students from middle school through high school in both classroom and one on one settings. I hold a Master of Fine Arts from Loyola Marymount University and an undergraduate degree in Strategic Communications and Journalism from Ohio State University, which gave me a deep foundation in writing, composition, and communication at every level. My approach is always to meet students where they are. Whether a student is struggling with essay structure, working through a reading assignment, or trying to find their own voice as a writer, I focus on building real skills and genuine confidence rather than just getting through the assignment. I am also a working television writer with credits on Amazon and Peacock series, which means I bring a practical understanding of how strong writing actually works beyond the classroom.

I have received my Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia with a focus in image and minor in Business Administration from Loyola Marymount University. Currently, I am working to get my Masters in Secondary Education, also from LMU. In addition to my Masters, I hope to earn my Teaching Credentials as well. As an undergrad, I tutored for the Academic Resource Center on campus for about two years; I have worked one-on-one with students as well as worked with a group of up to 15 students. In addition to this, I mentored for CollegeSpring, a SAT prep program, during the summer after graduation. At the end of the summer, my student's average scores increased by 200-300 points.Because I was an art major in college, I am a bit out of practice when it comes to Pre-Calculus and such, but math was my best subject in school and I can pick it up again quickly as I have seen in my experience with CollegeSpring. Math is my favorite subject because solving problems is like solving a puzzle; there are many ways to go about finding the solution but, at least for this level of math, there is only one answer. The subjects I feel the most confident tutoring are SAT Math, Algebra or below, Public Speaking, and Essay Editing/ Writing.From my experience as both a student and a tutor, I find that the best way to teach students is to leave the pen/pencil in their hands for at least 90% of the time. Although it is vital to give examples and work through problems together, the tutor's job is not to give answers and simply show how problems are done. This may cause students to memorize techniques rather than learn the critical thinking process that allows them to do work on their own. I strongly believe that my job as a tutor is to ask the student questions that will assist them to arrive at an answer on their own. Of course, examples need to be given and I may give more help in the beginning, but the goal is to ween students off help after time. I cannot stand over their shoulder during tests or be there as they go through college so they must learn how to approach work on their own.Outside of work and school, I enjoy cooking, exercise, and drawing. The way food affects our mood, body, and health intrigues me- which is why I love cooking. In addition to food, a healthy mind and body must have proper exercise. While I may not be the best when it comes to running, I have started weight training and am looking for other ways to get cardio into my routine which includes hikes. Drawing, however, remains my passion. While it is time consuming and I do not have as much time for it as I used to, I love figure drawing, impressionist painting, and illustrating cartoons.

I am a graduate of Loyola Marymount University (LMU) in Los Angeles. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a primary focus on filmmaking and cinematography. I have worn many hats in the film industry including camera and electric departments as an inroads to opportunities in cinematography. I also worked as a photo assistant shooting 35mm, medium and large format for many large profile clients. I eventually chose to pursue cinematography through my own work and allowing my learned knowledge and innate skills speak for themselves. I eventually found my passion for shooting narrative films, both short and long form and have had the good fortune to work with talented directors, actors, producers and others from around the world. Films I shot have been screened at film festivals around the world and one feature film was awarded best cinematography at a NYC film festival. During this time I also utilized my skill and knowledge as a cinematographer to photograph mostly fine art and more recently into portraits and product photography. I created and taught an intro to photography class to traveling students at a photo studio in Manhattan in which the students were able to create and composed their own images by the end of the workshop. I also created and taught an intro to filmmaking class to middle and high school kids in which I guided them through writing a script, shooting and editing the film along with many of the details that are involved in the process. I have loved the work that I do and find myself at a time and place where I want to share my knowledge and experience with others - especially middle and high school kids - who have an interest in pursuing that same passion and love.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tutors who graduated from Loyola Marymount University bring firsthand knowledge of the university's academic culture, course expectations, and teaching styles. They've navigated LMU's rigorous curriculum themselves and understand the specific challenges students face in their programs. This insider perspective allows them to provide targeted guidance that goes beyond generic tutoring approaches.

Tutors with LMU backgrounds excel across LMU's core academic areas, including business, engineering, natural sciences, liberal arts, and communications. Since they've completed these programs successfully, they understand both the conceptual foundations and the specific problem-solving approaches their professors emphasized. This makes them particularly effective for students working through challenging coursework in their major.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have taken the exact courses you're enrolled in or similar upper-level coursework in your major. They can explain concepts the way LMU professors teach them, help you prepare for exams using strategies that worked for them, and guide you through major projects and papers with knowledge of what your instructors expect. This targeted familiarity with your program significantly accelerates your progress.

They've experienced the same adjustment period and can offer practical advice on time management, study strategies, and how to make the most of LMU's resources while providing subject-specific tutoring support.

Your first session focuses on understanding your current coursework, identifying specific challenges, and learning about your learning style. An LMU tutor will ask about your courses, professors, and academic goals, then tailor their approach to match how you learn best. They'll draw on their own LMU experience to create a personalized plan that addresses your needs and sets you up for success.

While tutoring focuses on academic subjects, tutors who graduated from Loyola Marymount University can share insights about campus life, internship opportunities, and how to build skills that matter for your major.

You can start with a single session to see if the match is right, then continue with ongoing personalized instruction tailored to your needs.

Results depend on your starting point and commitment, but students typically see improvements in course understanding, exam performance, and academic confidence.
