Award-Winning Tutors from Saint Louis University-Main Campus

Hello! I am currently studying neuroscience at Saint Louis University in Missouri. Throughout my time in high school I have tutored students of several different age groups in numerous subjects. I have helped coach high schoolers on standardized tests such as the ACT and PSAT, middle schoolers in beginner Spanish, elementary school students in basic mathematics, and many more! When it comes to ACT and PSAT, I believe in simplicity and routine. I have helped coach several students to scores in the upper 30's. I also believe education should be fun, engaging, and stimulating which makes me a great fit for younger students! In my free time I have my nose shoved in a book or food shoved in my mouth.

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.

I am currently a first year medical student at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. I graduated with a B.S. in Health Management and Policy from Saint Louis University. I was born and brought up in Okemos, Michigan, a vibrant suburb near Lansing. Here, I gained a passion for education and began tutoring underserved youth in Lansing, Michigan. This passion stuck with me as I began my undergraduate education at Saint Louis University. Following the Jesuit ideals emphasized at SLU, I continued tutoring underprivileged youth in north St. Louis. I love sharing my passion for education with my students. During my senior year at SLU, I became a Physics TA and taught a class of 30 students the fundamentals of applied physics. On my journey to medical school, I studied hard for the MCAT and scored in the 98th percentile. I hope to share this success with all my students in the future.

The traditional path has never taken me where I needed to go, so as a writer and educator, I've learned to move forward without a mapguided by vision, not permission. I focus on where I'm going, not what's expected. When no clear model exists, I create one. "Advanced literacies" means having the freedom to think, decide, and act on your own terms. We all have the ability to build our own frameworks and write narratives that make full use of our strengths while pushing us to grow. This belief drives my work. It's how I challenge my students to rise, take ownership of their path, and reach the finish line with purpose.

I am a graduate of Saint Louis University, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Public Health and International Studies. I will be starting a Masters of Public Policy at University of Chicago this fall. I am also fluent in Urdu, French, and conversational Arabic. I have extensive international work experience and bring an appreciation and understanding of diverse cultures, faith traditions, and backgrounds. I have worked with underprivileged youth in Egypt, conducted health education workshops for migrant women in Morocco, and organized an English language summer camp for youth in Jordan. I am most passionate about English, Literature, and working with elementary and middle school students. In my experience working with young students, we always seem to have the best progress in English language and literature. I try to keep things exciting and casual for my students so they feel comfortable and confident with the material they are working on. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing, cooking, and traveling to new places.

As an advocate for education and a firm believer in the transformative power of learning, my passion for helping students stems from a deep-seated belief that everyone deserves access to quality education and the opportunity to fulfill their potential. My journey in working with students began during my high school years, where I volunteered as a tutor for students struggling with math skills and compression. Currently, I am a junior pursuing a B.S in Biochemistry from Saint Louis University, where I honed my academic skills and cultivated a commitment to lifelong learning. Currently, I am a teaching assistant in General Chemistry to further expand my expertise and better serve my students.My tutoring style is characterized by adaptability, patience, and a genuine enthusiasm for learning, guiding students through challenges while celebrating their progress and achievements. In my tutoring practice, I specialize in science and math, drawing from my academic background and hands-on experience to provide comprehensive support tailored to each student's needs. While I find fulfillment in teaching a diverse range of subjects, I am particularly drawn to Chemistry because of its inherent ability to explain diverse and complex molecules in life.

I have recently completed a Masters degree in French language, literatures and cultures from Saint Louis University. Previously, I worked as a corporate lawyer in Edinburgh, Scotland, having completed my undergraduate degree in Law with French Law from the Universities of Aberdeen (Scotland) and Strasbourg (France). I have lived, studied and worked in France, and I am very passionate about sharing my experiences and teaching the French language, French literature and anything related to French culture. I have experience teaching and tutoring all age groups, and I have a dynamic, energetic and flexible approach to my work.

I believe that understanding is more important than memorizing, so I strive to teach all of my students in terms of comprehension. I also believe in the importance of patience when working with students, as I feel that in order to master a concept, time must be taken to manipulate various ideals so that the student can successfully answer a related question at any degree of difficulty. I recently graduated at St. Louis University with a BS in both Health Management and Biology. There I was a biology teaching assistant, however I am continuing my education at Cornell University in the Fall to obtain my masters in health administration. I put all of my effort into teaching so I will not stop until you understand the material successfully. I also love meeting new people so I can't wait to meet you all!

I am currently a doctoral student in Public and Social Policy at Saint Louis University and I am finishing my dissertation from Wichita. I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work and a Paralegal Certificate from San Francisco State University. Additionally, I hold a Bachelors degree in Political Science in Philosophy from Washington University in St. Louis. I went through a gifted curriculum prior to college and excelled in math and the sciences, ultimately being published nationally in the subject of neurosurgery. Part way through college, I decided to focus more of my energy on the social sciences which I have done ever since. When I was not attending school, I have worked as a Social Worker with vulnerable populations in many different positions. I plan to finish my Ph.D. in the upcoming year, and become a professor; in part because of the passion that I have for learning. I look forward to working with students of all ages, including adult learners and I hope to be able to work with you to achieve your learning goals.

I am a recent graduate of Saint Louis University School of Medicine who matched into Dermatology for my advanced training. I graduated as a member of Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society and received a Distinction in Research award upon completing my training. I scored 253 on the USMLE STEP 1 exam and 258 on the USMLE STEP 2 CK exam. Not only do I have an extensive tutoring and mentoring background, but I have also worked with admissions counselors and tutors throughout my medical school career. With these past experiences, I understand how important it is for a student to have solid academic mentorship and support to succeed in their journey towards becoming a Doctor of Medicine. I also have three years of experience as a trained writing tutor, working as a Head Writing Fellow at the Barnard College Writing Center. I co-founded the Science Fellows Program to help science majors and pre-med students transfer writing skills from the humanities to the sciences. I believe I can help you succeed on your board exams and admissions essays. As someone who is working towards a career in academic medicine, I have always been a teacher and mentor. Your success is my success!

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.

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 am currently attending university at Saint Louis University, studying psychology with a pre-medicine focus. I have studied abroad in Spain for a semester and in general I love to travel and learn new things about the places I visit. I have worked extensively with kids at a summer camp for the past three years (mostly with little kids), babysitting, and helping the kids I lived with in Spain learn English and math. I am very passionate about writing, particularly creative and essay writing, and I also love to read, which makes it fun for me to teach English and to provide my help with close readings of texts. As a psych major, I love learning about and talking about psychology and the different branches of it. I am also a cellist, which I have been doing since I was 2.5 years old and can read music in three clefs (treble, tenor, and bass). I am a firm believer that learning should be fun and not boring or unenjoyable, while still including valuable education and information that will be retained instead of simply regurgitated on a test and then promptly forgotten. In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing video games, and enjoying the company of my family, best friend, and cat(s).

I am a medical student student at Stritch School of Medicine. I graduated from Saint Louis University with a major in Neuroscience and a minor in Public Health. I am from Bolingbrook, IL and graduated from Neuqua Valley High School. I have lived in 7 different cities in 18 years and love to go on road trips! I love dark chocolate and Thai food anytime, any day. My favorite subject to teach is Math, because I like to work with numbers! I strongly believe in incentives. I believe that setting small treats for each goal you reach will motivate you to do better, as long as you set your mind to it. I have a passion to teach and see others grow better as a student! I hope that as your tutor, I can help you be a more confident, successful student!

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 earned my bachelor's degree in exercise science and my doctorate in physical therapy from Saint Louis University. I tutored college students at SLU for 5 years, covering allied health sciences (biology, chemistry, anatomy/physiology) and all physical therapy coursework. I am now tutoring students preparing to take the NPTE, and I am so excited to help students be successful as they start their careers! I love tutoring because it gives me the opportunity to help students see their full potential. My tutoring strategy emphasizes making connections between topics, using examples, and having open discussion with students.

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.

As a dedicated undergraduate student at Saint Louis University - Madrid Campus, pursuing a double major in Psychology and Spanish, I am passionate about becoming a clinical psychologist and fostering a love for learning in my students. With over four years of tutoring experience, I specialize in English (and related subjects such as reading and writing) and Spanish, as I have served as a public and private tutor for ESL students and a Spanish teacher's assistant. I am also comfortable tutoring for lower-level math classes. My approach emphasizes making learning engaging and accessible; I believe that a fun and interactive environment leads to the greatest student success. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading, playing soccer, crocheting, and spending quality time with friends and family. This is my second year being a Varsity Tutor, and I am excited to inspire and support my students on their educational journeys!

Graduate of St. Louis University with a Degree in Chemical Biology and Pharmacology I know from experience how difficult chemistry and biology can be. These were not topics that just came naturally for me, and during college I had to spend a lot of time sitting down with these topics and trying to work them out in my head. Because of this, I have a lot of empathy to students struggling in their courses, and I enjoy working as a tutor who can help students who may feel overwhelmed. About lessons: Lessons with me are very flexible. I am willing to: - Create a guided lesson for you reviewing what you covered in class and break down difficult terminology in text-books and slideshows - Create student-specific study materials and study guides if you feel the resources available to you in class are not sufficient -Help guide you through your homework and practice exams If your goals for a course change over time, I will adapt to your needs as a 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!

I am an energetic and supportive current 4th year medical student with history in tutoring a multitude of STEM and humanities subjects at the high school and college level. I have a lot of experience in tutoring for medical school subjects including STEP and COMLEX Level board examinations I believe providing a supportive and easy going environment as well as creating a tutoring plan according each individual student's needs allows for students to improve and excel in their respective class(es) or exams. I tutor by breaking down the material in order to make it easier to understand and apply to tests, quizzes and other class assignments. I like to create a schedule that works for the student and also helps them reach their overall goals.

Hi my name is Meghna and I am currently attending medical school to get my DO degree. I enjoy tutoring and helping students in any way I can to make school easier. I am all for listening to the student and adjusting my tutoring techniques based on the individual student's needs.

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.

I knew I wanted a career in education when I witnessed my first “ah-ha! moment” when I was 18 and studying early childhood development. Almost ten years later, I am still fascinated with the multitude of methods of learning, and love to be a part of the acquisition of new knowledge and skills. I currently hold a bachelor's degree in early childhood education from St. Louis University, an elementary certificate from Northeastern Illinois University, and an ESL endorsement certificate from the University of Illinois. I have classroom and tutoring experience working with children ages 5-12, and I love teaching everything from beginning sounds to algebra to how to write an amazing personal narrative. My belief as an educator is to focus on the individual interests and talents of the students and then tailor the lessons so that they are the most appropriate for the learner. In my free time, I enjoy practicing yoga, exploring new restaurants, and reading great books.

I am a junior pre-med student studying health management at Saint Louis University. I began tutoring my peers in high school and continued my passion for teaching throughout college. I tutor high school students studying for the SAT and ACT. I also tutor math, science, and spanish. I recognize that every student has a different style of learning and I plan each lesson according to the student. My goal is to help my students achieve their goals and realize their potential.

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.

I am an undergraduate student at Saint Louis University majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in Computer Science, and have been accepted into medical school. As a tutor with Learning Lodge for the past two years, I have worked with children from families adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; I have worked as a Teaching Assistant at Best Brains Learning Center, an enrichment program designed to help children aged 3 and above develop academically. While I tutor various subjects, I am especially passionate in teaching students Math, Science, English, and Writing; these have been extremely exciting subjects to teach the future generations eager to learn more. After spending several years tutoring children and taking courses such as Developmental Child Psychology and learning the most effective ways to curate a teaching curriculum targeted toward ensuring children retain knowledge and have fun, I have an increased interest in one day becoming a Pediatric Neurologist or Adolescent & Child Psychiatrist! As an advocate for education rights and expanding progress in the community and worldwide, I am committed to helping struggling students obtain the necessary resources for a bright future filled with passionate learning and sharing my joy.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting and minors in Mathematics and Spanish from Saint Louis University, and a Master of Accountancy degree from University of Missouri Columbia.I have had a wide variety of experiences as an educator over the past 9 years. I love tutoring in a one-on-one setting and helping students achieve their educational goals. In both undergraduate and graduate school, I worked as a tutor for the college athletic departments. I tutored numerous college athletes in various math and business subjects such as Accounting I and II, College Algebra, Pre-calculus and Calculus I and II. During college, I also worked as a Supplemental Instructor for Saint Louis Community College's math department and as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for University of Missouri Columbia's accounting department, teaching 2-3 supplemental lessons per week to College Algebra students and 2-3 classes of 30-40 students per week to Accounting I students, respectively. Subsequent to graduate school, I continued to work in the education field on a part-time basis, as an adjunct professor for Fontbonne University's Master in Accounting (MACC) and Master in Business Administration (MBA) Programs, where I was responsible for teaching various accounting courses; such as Intermediate Accounting I and II, Managerial Accounting, and Accounting Information Systems.On a full-time basis, I am a CPA and have been working in the corporate industry for the past 6 years 5 years at a global CPA firm and a little over 1 year in a corporate controllership function. Education is something that is extremely important to me and I love working with students and seeing them achieve their educational goals. I think that having great patience and truly caring about my tutees' educational development are two things that help me to be a great tutor. I am completely invested in the students that I teach and am willing to spend the time to ensure that my students completely understand the course material that needs to be learned. I am also very flexible with varied learning styles and can quickly adjust my teaching methods to meet each student's individual educational needs.In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling, collecting and listening to music, shopping and spending time with family and friends. I am also a pretty creative person and loved taking art classes in high school -- I recently moved into a new apartment and am very excited about decorating the new space!

I am currently a senior at Saint Louis University and am studying to receive my Bachelors in Science in Biology and my minor in Public Health. During my college experience, I have been able to spend a lot of time volunteering and tutoring. I work as a tutor at the university for subjects in biology, chemistry and spanish. While I tutor in university level subjects, I also volunteer as an after school tutor for refugee students in STL, through Firm Foundations tutoring, so I work with younger students as well. I have always enjoyed tutoring since my high school years as I believe in the importance of spreading knowledge and giving everyone the help they deserve so they can all equally excel. As a biology major, I would have to say it is my favorite subject, however I enjoy spanish and statistics as well. I am looking forward to ACT tutoring as I am quite familiar with the exam and am experienced on ways to significantly improve test scores. Outside of the tough pre-med life, I enjoy sports such as softball, swimming and tennis. I am quite passionate about learning about other cultures.

Data science and Python are easy, let me show you!

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.

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 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.

Saint Louis University Bachelors in Health Management and Policy and Women and Gender Studies. Currently an M.D. candidate at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University. Passionate about helping students of all grade levels with the sciences, math, writing, reading comprehension, and history. MCAT and ACT tutoring as well.

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'm a recent college graduate from Saint Louis University with a Bachelor's of Science in chemistry and minor in environmental science! My last two years I worked as a chemistry tutor through my university and thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved watching the information click in students minds when I tailored explanations and material to their specific learning style, be that through mathematical examples, anecdotal mnemonics, or kinesthetic. Chemistry is my passion, but it stems from my love of math and numbers. I understand that both subjects can be a frightening to tackle for many students, but I believe that learning is a gift and should be made fun even when the material is difficult.

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.
