I am a PhD student at Northeastern University getting a degree in population health. I graduated from George Washington University, with a master's in public health and did my undergraduate degree at the University of Richmond. I love to teach and hope to eventually teach at a university and do research.I have always enjoyed helping others learned. When I was little, I used to make my sister play teacher with me (she was always the student, poor thing). Now I enjoy tutoring students of all ages in a variety of subjects. My favorite subject to tutor is math because, unlike English, the rules always stay the same. I also enjoy tutoring for both the ACTs and the SATs. It is great to see a student's scores improve as we work on practice tests and the different skills that they need.In my free time I love to travel. In Oct. of 2014 I left the country for the first time to travel to Zambia, Africa to visit a friend living there. It was an incredible trip. We sat in the devil's pool at Victoria Falls (I recommend looking up a photo). We also went on a safari and had many other great adventures. Since then I have traveled to Italy (also wonderful) and hope to do some more international traveling soon.I also enjoy working with my hands, crocheting, sewing, knitting, and especially cooking. I read when I have the time, and love to listen to audio books in the car.

I am a current undergraduate student at Northeastern University in Boston, MA, pursuing a double major in International Affairs and Business with minors in Spanish and Global Social Entrepreneurship. Before college, I attended the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts, "one of sixteen public, residential high schools in the country specializing in the education of gifted and talented students who have an interest and aptitude for mathematics and science."For the past two years, I've served as an Honors Mentor and Resident Assistant. Additionally, I've served over 400 hours of community service in that time; I've taught English in Nicaragua and Ecuador, worked with bilingual students at the Hurley K-8 school, and have done extensive work with America Scores, a development program for at-risk youth.I'm most passionate about math (from elementary math to Algebra 2 mainly) and English (specifically grammar, mechanics, editing, etc.); thus, those are the subjects which I most frequently tutor. Having recently taken and done well on many standardized tests, I also enjoy helping students prepare for such exams as SAT, PSAT, ACT, etc.Outside of academia, I spend the majority of my time attending musicals and concerts, running, and traveling the world (30 countries and counting!).
I have been working as a data scientist in the public sector for a decade. I am a graduate of Northeastern University, where I earned a BS in Economics and Political Science and an MS in Urban Informatics. I have applied data analytics experience in the fields of transportation, health policy, public safety, and budgeting. My favorite part of my work is coaching junior staff and college interns on data analytics and how to use tools such as Tableau, R, and Excel, and I want to bring this experience to tutoring. My style is generally to help people work through problems they are having with their assignments, though I do not believe there is a "one size fits all" method. I prefer to work with students in a way that is most helpful to them.
I believe that everybody enjoys learning. The frustration most people experience in school stems from the fact that the topics are approached in a rigid "one size fits all" manner. I will work with each student to tailor their learning experience to their likes and dislikes. Rather than use boring, generic objects I will use subject matter directly related to the student's interests.Furthermore, I understand that not everybody learns in the same manner. I excel at auditory learning while many others prefer visual information. I will work with each student in a way that I believe they will be most receptive to. I will help them understand how a word problem relates to a picture or an equation, which is the most vital skill to have in mathematics.Most importantly, I will help the student have fun. I remember a lot more information from the teachers who made learning fun and exciting than those who had dry lectures. I hope to leave the students eager to learn more.
I'm a student at Northeastern University studying computer engineering. My plan is to graduate in 2022 with a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering and a Master's in Engineering Management. I'm from Malvern, PA and graduated from Great Valley High School in 2017. I haven't had any official tutoring experience, but I have helped my younger sister with homework, mostly math homework, my whole life. I really enjoy teaching math because it is something I began to learn at an advanced level at a young age, and I like to teach those things I learned to others. I also like to to teach SAT because I worked very hard for my SATs and went to a prep course and learned lots of tips and I'd like to pass those on to other students. In my free time, I like to write and cook! Hope I can be of some help to you in whatever subjects you need help with!!

I graduated from Northeastern University with a Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in materials science and engineering. I primarily tutor subjects in math and science because I love helping students break through obstacles to understanding tough concepts. I believe that sometimes all it takes to tackle a difficult problem is a fresh perspective, which is how I like to approach my tutoring sessions. I love to hike, I'm an avid board game player, and I'm currently teaching myself to play guitar - it's going pretty well, actually!
Learning is one of the most rewarding experiences in life, so I'm passionate about helping people a discover that experience. I've worked in various teaching-related roles for the past 4 years, between summer camps and volunteering at after school programs. I've tutored for 3 semesters at Northeastern in Algebra 2, Pre-calc, and Intro levels of Macro and Micro economics.I absolutely love tutoring math, seeing homework problems get completed is incredibly satisfying. More importantly, learning to think through a problem critically and really understand why your answer is right is a very important skill that applies to all problem solving in any phase of life. The reason I've chosen to study Finance and Economics is to apply that same critical thinking to bigger/more applied situations such as running a successful business and developing economic policy.My tutoring style is very conversational. It's important for me to identify what a student understands and what they don't, from there I work to outline the reasoning that goes into finding the right answer. I'm here to guide a student, and empower them to perform the same sort of critical thinking on problems they face in the future.
I am a Northwestern University graduate and received my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Robotics. I have an extensive background tutoring middle and high school students in Standardized Tests as well as helping incoming freshmen acclimate to the college environment as a Peer Advisor. Due to my concentration in STEM, I am well-adept in teaching Math and Physics, though am open to tutoring outside those subjects. I believe that working on one's education outside of regular school hours shows a strong initiative to learn, and I want to encourage this drive for learning in my students.
I tutor because I truly enjoy teaching students and seeing them gain confidence as they overcome their academic challenges. As a student from kindergarten through graduate school, my teachers and professors were role models that I admired and used as models for my own behavior. One of my proudest moments was working as an undergraduate instructor as part of my doctoral program at Northeastern University. Walking in the classroom and getting to stand at the front of the classroom for the first time, completing my journey from one side of the classroom to the other, I could not have been happierI bring the same passion and enthusiasm to tutoring that I do to teaching, and am always proud to see one of my former students go on to achieve further academic success.
I am passionate about teaching and ensuring that my students can get something valuable out of my sessions.

I am a second-year Political Science major and Mathematics minor at Northeastern University. I hail from St. Paul, Minnesota, but last year's winter here was still the worst I have ever seen. I am currently a member of the Northeastern Debate Society and International Relations Council, which includes participation in Model United Nations, and a featured columnist for the Northeastern Political Review, a student magazine. I have also previously participated in Mock Trial, Speech, Knowledge Bowl, Theater, and Band, where I played the alto saxophone. Last year, I volunteered as a tutor for SquashBusters in Boston, and I just started volunteering as an extracurricular teacher for Citizen Schools.I became a tutor for Varsity because I love being able to guide students towards success. Education is the cornerstone of our nation and our future, and if students are struggling, they absolutely deserve the help that a tutor can give them. I do not believe in teaching directly towards standardized tests; rather, I believe in giving students abilities that they can use not only to get high scores, but to help them develop stronger, more well-rounded skill sets. Things like grammar or writing skills are useful in any field, and I would love to inspire a student who hates math, as I once did, to embrace it and even study it in college. I think that every student has the potential for academic and personal greatness, and I'd be more than happy to help them realize it.
Greetings, my name is Karthik! I studied at Northeastern University and earned a BS in math and physics, and I started tutoring formally in undergrad via a mix of online tutoring and university sponsored peer tutoring later taking on responsibilities as a student grader and TA. But well before I started formal tutoring, it was not uncommon for peers to remark that I explained things better than our teachers. While at first I was prone to lecturing due to my assumption that others found theory as elucidating as I did, my sessions are now dominated by working through problems provided by either the student or me. Also software visualization is a boon whenever my drawing skills don't pass muster. Ultimately, my purpose is to cultivate disciplined learning and excellence in STEM, whether that be for a class or purely out of curiosity/passion, so please do not hesitate to reach out if you think I can help you achieve your goals.
