I fully believe that my interest in the field of academic tutoring is born out of my endless pursuit of knowledge, as well as my strong interpersonal communication skills. With proper guidance, every student possesses the ability to grasp even the most complex of topics, and I have built my tutoring career on this premise. As an experienced tutor, I have continually enjoyed seeing my students achieve lofty goals under my instruction.I specialize in tutoring biology, chemistry, physics, and economics for high school students. In addition to this, I also tutor students in college level general chemistry, general biology, organic chemistry, introductory physics, economics and for the MCAT exam. I excelled in undergraduate coursework pertaining to these subjects and have prior experience in assisting pre-professional (pre-medical and pre-nursing) students looking to succeed in their required general science classes. My tutoring methodology is dependent on the establishment of a strong conceptual framework, and subsequent application of theory through practice problems (the best way to master any pure science). I frequently employ the use of problem sets and practice tests to monitor my students' progress.

I am currently a college student studying Political Science and Local and Global Social Justice at Saint Louis University. I love learning new things and helping others out in whatever areas they struggle with!
I am a senior student at Saint Louis University majoring in Biostatistics and Mathematics, with an appreciation for the power of education and the transformative role it can play in a student's life. Throughout my academic career, I have been dedicated to tutoring students across a diverse range of subjects, including mathematics, history, chemistry, Spanish, and biology. In addition to subject-specific tutoring, I have also assisted students in preparing for standardized tests. I understand the pressures associated with these exams and work diligently to equip my students with the tools they need to succeed. I have had the privilege of working with both high school and college students, tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual. My approach to tutoring is centered around patience, empathy, and adaptability, emphasizing the importance of understanding each student's learning style and tailoring my teaching methods accordingly. By doing so, I aim to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the subject matter. My passion for statistics extends beyond the classroom. I am particularly interested in how statistical concepts are communicated in everyday conversations and their application in real-world scenarios. I strive to bring this enthusiasm into my tutoring sessions, making statistics not just a subject to be studied, but a lens through which students can view and understand the world around them.
With my many years of teaching experience, I have learned that the impact I have on my students is immense. A teacher has the power to make or break a child's mind and soul My choice is always to create. I believe that the young mind has the right to be given an opportunity to acquire skills and knowledge they can use throughout their lives. Every student no matter where they come from, what values they hold, and what culture they practice, they should have the opportunity have their minds cultivated and opened. It is only in this regard that they will have the knowledge and ability to think critically, believe in themselves and become citizens that contributes to society's well being.
Hello! Nice to meet you! After graduating from High School at 14, I studied forensic science and sociology at Saint Louis University. Currently, I am an entrepreneur and operate a small software company. I have been blessed to be featured on Forbes 30 Under 30. I enjoy meeting new individuals and helping others! I learned how to tutor from my mother, and have been helping students succeed for over 7 years.
I am a graduate of Saint Louis University where I majored in Psychology and Spanish. I am currently working as a research coordinator at the University of Miami before pursuing a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. I have been tutoring professionally for about 6 years now. My experience includes working with high school students on basic math such as Algebra and Pre-Calculus, and undergraduate university students in the subjects of Spanish, Psychology, and GRE test prep. I also worked with both young children and adults learning English as a second language when I lived in Madrid, Spain for a year of my undergraduate studies. My passion for tutoring comes from both a passion for learning and an understanding of the frustration that comes with academic struggles. I work very hard to understand how the student learns and then tailor my approach to the subject in a way that engages them without adding to that frustration. In my experience, oftentimes when students are working very hard and still not seeing the success they desire, they are simply spinning their wheels. My goal is to work with the student to redirect the misguided effort towards rewarding and attainable goals. In doing so, I add to the students understanding of not only the subject material, but also of their own learning process so as to improve their own academic competence. Outside of academia, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, running with my dog, visiting the beach, dancing, and cooking.
My approach to teaching is student driven and emphasizes active learning on the part of my students. All my lessons are designed to have students apply what they are learning through drawing schematics or diagrams that explain core concepts, work out problems and explain their reasoning of their answers, and working through real-world case studies,.
I am a life long learner, a certified teacher and a licensed Georgia attorney. I am most fulfiled when I successfully help others reach their goals!!
I have a background in psychology, but I offer one-on-one and group tutoring in a variety of subjects. Some of my favorite subjects to tutor include test preparation, mathematics, English, psychology, and statistics. I have always worked diligently to be a strong student and a life-long learner. My personal learning journey inspires my tutoring efforts. As a tutor, much of the advice, tips, and coaching I offer stems from my own hard earned learning experiences or from my experiences working with students. I have also worked with a multitude of tutoring clients, and each student that I have worked with always seems to teach me something novel that I try to pay forward to future students. I try to blend my background, knowledge, and experience and create a positive learning experience for all students. In addition to tutoring, I have spent time teaching courses at the undergraduate level.
I am a graduate of Saint Louis University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Sciences and Disorders with a minor in Psychology. I also received a Master of Science in Speech Language Pathology from Marquette University in 2013. Since graduation, I have worked as an elementary speech pathologist (SLP) for Milwaukee Public Schools. As a SLP, I have found a profession which combines my desire to make a difference in people's lives with my love of learning and my interest in working with children. I enjoy teaching and learning with students in a different way as a tutor with Varsity Tutors. With my background in communication sciences and disorders and speech pathology, I have a great knowledge base of English, grammar, vocabulary and phonics. I also am very passionate about math. As a child, I struggled in math class, but after receiving tutoring, math became my favorite subject! I use a multi-sensory approach to tutoring by including visuals, drawings and manipulatives in my lessons in order to help my students gain a deeper, more concrete understanding of the subject. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, crafting, reading, and volunteering.

I graduated from Saint Louis University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology. Since then, I took the DAT exam and received a very high score, which allowed me to secure interviews from multiple Dental Schools across the country. I'm ready and willing to share the studying skills I acquired during my academic career to make my students' lives easier and achieve success. I was a biology and chemistry tutor at St. Louis Community College, where I led both group study sessions and 1-on-1 tutoring sessions. Every student on this campus had different learning styles and academic backgrounds. Therefore, I adapted my teaching styles to suit each student and make the sessions as efficient as possible. I also have experience tutoring children, including those with learning disabilities. I enjoy tutoring science the most. I love seeing the twinkle in the eye when my students have an "Aha" moment after understanding a new concept, which is which I love my job as a tutor. During my free time, I go to community services, watch soccer, and play guitar.

As a biological researcher, I love to keep learning about progress in my field - but more than anything, I enjoy communicating my research to others. Over the last 10 years, I've worked hard to develop my science communications skills, with a lot of my experience coming from tutoring sessions. I've tutored a variety of subjects ranging from basic study skills and organization to molecular biology, although my favorite subject to help with is writing. I'm hoping to one day continue my education by getting either a master's degree or a PhD in my field (neuroscience!), but for now, I'm content to continue improving my work experience.
Helping other individuals learn and them grow is always great to see. This is one of the main reasons I chose to be a tutor. Prior to becoming a tutor, I was a Student TA at Saint Louis University for Introduction to Law. Although I am still attending school, my passion to help others has only grown as I've been in college.I'm currently a double major working towards a B.S. in Healthcare Management and Legal Studies. These majors have helped me strengthened my reading and writing skills while allowing me to further my education in political science, business, and math classes. Because of this, I am comfortable in educating others in math subjects, political science, accounting, writing, economics, and public health. I believe every student has a different way of learning meaning that I have various ways of teaching others to provide the most effective strategy to help them learn.Outside of academics, I have a passion for sports, especially basketball, softball, and running, and am interested in photography.
I am a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University with my degree in biology and religion. Following undergrad I obtained my certification in clinical microbiology from Saint Louis University. I worked at Quest Diagnostics for 4.5 years and while at Quest I obtained my Master's degree in Public Health with a Concentration in Biosecurity and Disaster Preparedness. While I was in school I spent four summers as a camp counselor. Additionally, I have experience teaching seminars with adult student and my peers. I am currently a full time infection preventionist at a hospital. which is a job that requires an education focused mindset as I am always teaching best practice and reminding practitioners of their duties to protect patients from infection. It may come as no surprise that my ideal subject to teach is biology or microbiology as they are both my passions. I've spent many years learning the theory and then putting that theory to practice. My outgoing personality and passion for education is evident when first meeting me. I aim to use these qualities about myself to engage my students and get them excited about learning. Outside of work I enjoy reading fiction books, going to lots of outdoor events, and finding new recipes to make.
Hi, I am Devin, a mechanical engineering junior at Saint Louis University! I have been a tutor over the course of the last 8 years. I have helped students ranging from K-12th grade. My teaching style is very adaptable. I like to create a space where students can ask questions and feel free to not understand. Asking questions in my opinion is the best way to learn. Whether a student needs visual representations of concepts or prefers to understand the underlying theory, I frame questions to match their learning style. My favorite way to engage students is by using things that happen in their everyday life to explain a specific topic or subject that they are struggling with. Intelligence is the torch of wisdom and what you know is something that can never be taken away from you. My goal is to help young minds grow and also gain the tools they need to gain better understandings on their own.

Education is the key to cultivating an open mind and unlocking a world of possibilities. As a tutor, I am passionate about helping students gain confidence and discover their unique potential. My favorite subjects to teach are creative writing and literature, as they allow students to explore their creativity, develop critical thinking skills, and connect with the power of storytelling.

I am currently an undergraduate student at Saint Louis University studying Neuroscience. I am a part of their Medical Scholars program, an 8 year BS/MD program (if you have any questions regarding my program, I would love to talk about it). As a college student, I have been involved with organizations like the ASBMB and AED that place an emphasis on biology and biochemistry and I am also heavily involved with service organizations across St. Louis and Houston. I am an avid sports fan (do not try to debate me on the Texans or the Rockets) and love to play basketball, tennis, and football. The outdoors have always been a part of my life as an Eagle Scout and backpacker, so I love anything to do with nature and have gone on my fair share of trips across the country. I have taken most AP courses available in the AP curriculum and am pretty familiar with today's high school curriculum, seeing as I am only two years removed from it. I love tutoring subjects in math, chemistry, and biology, all courses I have taken at the college level and done well in. I know these subjects can be imposing at first, but there are always tricks to solving problems and I hope to impart some of the ones I like to use. I like to think I'm a pretty fun guy, so don't be scared to learn from me; I believe that learning should be fun, so I will try my best to ensure that you enjoy learning with me.
I've been teaching English literature and composition since graduate school. If you need help with something language- or literature-related, I can probably do it!
Ciao! I'm San, and I am a medical student at the Sapienza University of Rome. During my undergraduate years, I completed my Bachelor's of Science in chemical biology and pharmacology and worked as a teaching assistant, research technician, resident advisor, and taekwondo instructor. Currently, I tutor elementary school to college level students in various subjects, including SAT, biology, chemistry, and physics. I personally obtained test scores of 1560 for SAT, 34 for ACT, 5's for AP calculus BC, chemistry, and physics 1, 2, and C mechanics. When I tutor, I recognize the varying levels of K-12 and college education around the world. With this in mind, I help students build a solid foundation on which they can progress their learning to the next level. Whether from algebra to trigonometry or biology to biochemistry, a solid footing is essential to be able to fully understand and internalize new topic matter. This solid foundation comes hand-in-hand with critical thinking skills, the ability to tackle problems outside of immediate comfort level, and the self-confidence to ask questions on new and unfamiliar concepts. For me, I find teaching a truly gratifying experience. I absolutely love seeing my students' "eureka" moments, when all the pieces fall into place and something just *clicks*. I don't think I will ever get tired of it!

I hope that as your tutor, I can help you be a more confident, successful student!
Hello, hello! My name is Korina, and I have 7 years of classroom teaching experience. 1 year in the Philippines, 4 years in California and 2 years in Washington. Although I've spent all 7 years teaching Middle School Math and Science, my license and certification (in the Philippines and in Washington is that of Secondary Mathematics. I also have 4 years of tutoring experience, also in Mathematics, with students ranging from 1st graders to adults working their way to getting their teaching credential. I did not always love Mathematics as student, which may be weird. It all started with my 6th grade Math teacher, so I know first hand the importance of having that trusted adult in learning Math -- someone who, more than being knowledgeable and proficient in Math, is patient and understanding, who believes in you, who challenges and pushes you to be better. I want to be that person to you. I know I can help you love Math, too. So book a lesson with me, and let's learn Math!
Undergraduate senior majoring in biomedical engineering on the pre-med track, dedicated to ensuring student success. Eager to assist students from all ages and backgrounds in strengthening their academic foundation. Boosting student's confidence in math and organic chemistry through meaningful 1-on-1 tutoring.
I began to enjoy math and physics during my sophomore year of high school when I encountered trigonometry and algebra 2. Up until this point in high school, I had skated by because I had not been challenged sufficiently enough to pique my interest. When I began to struggle with concepts in this class, I knew I had met a subject that demanded more rigor than a half hour breezing through notes. Since then, I have grown to love math and it's applied version, engineering, through rigorous education and job experience. My path took me to Saint Louis University where I graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and later to Washington University in Saint Louis, where I graduated with a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering. I've had many opportunities throughout this time to both learn and teach and I am passionate about both. I have been a teaching assistant, tutor, researcher, guest lecturer, researcher, and am currently a practicing engineer.Some things about me: I've resided in Saint Louis my whole life and am very familiar with the area. I love the outdoors and take runs around my neighborhood every chance I get. I enjoy kayaking, hiking, camping, and mountain climbing. I love to read and learn things that are outside of my immediate skill set. As a tutor, I look forward to encountering various learning styles and adapting my own teaching style to the needs of my students. My goal is to not only provide assistance in the material currently encountered by the students, but also to give them tools to succeed in their own in their future studies.
A desire for justice is at the heart of everything I do. I am my strongest and best self when helping others. As an enthusiastic, passionate, and dependable teacher, I am consistently working to share and engage with the material I love.
I have helped kids prepare for elementary, middle, and upper SSAT & ISEE tests with great success. I have also helped prepare students to take the HSPT for admission to Catholic and faith-based high schools with great success. I make complex concepts easy for students to grasp. I believe that tutoring students is an art, and I am an accomplished artist. I usually connect with most students quickly after spending a short amount of time with them, partly because I understand what it is like to face struggles in school. I'm not perfect; no one is. Knowing you've made a mistake and admitting it shows that everyone has room to learn more, and I understand that not every approach works with every student. Patience is a key quality for any teacher/tutor, and in that quality, I excel. I work well with all different types of students, from those who need to be challenged to those who need to catch up. And I work well with all of them. Learning is a life-long journey, let's go together.
I am currently a nursing student at St. Louis University. I have worked as a tutor for 3 years in high school tutoring underclassman and grade school students in various subjects. I enjoy helping other's and making sure they understand what is being taught. I work hard and have good grades because I strive to succeed.I understand what it's like to struggle in school and not understand a subject matter right away. When I was younger, I had tutors in math and English. Over the years, I have picked up tips and tricks from prior tutors that may help other's like they helped me.
Tutoring has been one of my favorite ways to connect and engage with my fellow students. I have tutored throughout middle and high school and even worked as a tutor in undergrad at Saint Louis University, where I received a B.S. in Biology. I am thrilled to continue tutoring during my medical school career now as well. It can be scary to ask for help, but I believe this is an excellent sign of strength and determination to improve one's skills and knowledge. My position as the tutor is to help build that confidence and caliber in subject areas that may seem confusing, so I want to always create a comforting, engaging, and individualized learning environment to make the session more efficient.
I am currently in my fourth year of PhD study at Saint Louis University. I have been working in experimental psychology for the past 7 years and should finish with my PhD in experimental social psychology in 2015. Along the way I have picked up ample experience in Academic Writing, Research Methodology, and Statistics. As I am now an adjunct professor teaching Psychology classes, I feel I should offer my services to tutor students whenever possible. Though Psychology and Statistics are the topics that I am most familiar with teaching, I also enjoy tutoring Writing and Mathematics due to my background and education. My tutoring style is dynamic and I strive to adapt my methods to those which work best for the student. I tend to be hands on and extremely focused on helping my students learn and master the material. In my spare time, I play video games, watch anime, collect dolls and sculpt. I find art to be a very important stress reliever as a graduate student.
