With more than two years of worth of teaching at the college level and a Master's of Science degree in mathematics, I have taught and supported students in various subjects of mathematics, ranging from Statistics and Probability; Calculus I, II, and III; trigonometry and precalculus, and other subjects. Furthermore, I have taught as an independent contractor for different firms for the last seven years. Tutoring can be an entertaining challenge; in particular, the amount of creativity used to explain concepts to students with various unorthdox methods of learning leaves room for them to enjoy the experience learning the concept first-hand and learn about themselves a bit in the process. For me, the objective is for the student to become genuinely interested in a subject, especially as tough as mathematics, after having that 'a-ha!" moment of everything suddenly making sense. That is one of the major objectives I attempt to achieve.It's unusual how far I will go to help a student learn in a personalized environment designed for them. As I come across videos of mathematics from various youtubers and websites, the more I've learned students learn best in an setting uniquely built for them. This could be working with students who are used to counting in base 12 (who knew you could keep track of numbers by knuckles spaces between the inner side of your fingers!), multiply by counting vertices in the Latin print of numerals involved, or simply those who have never had someone to help foster their growth in their skills in mathematics! After a few sessions, students start to see how fast they are capturing the material and how much of it starts to make sense for them in real-time; this is especially prevalent once we diagnose where the student is having problems day one and start chipping away until a complete picture is built for the student to grasp. If the student puts in the effort, they deserve the best tutoring service that I offer.If you're interested in someone who will do whatever they can to attend to your needs, don't hesitate to contact me.

My name is Cristian Buelna and I am a Mechanical Engineering student at St. Mary's University in San Antonio, Texas. The reason I want to make a career in engineering is because I want to work for a company that is all about innovation in the future. I strive to use my knowledge to help humanity become more energy efficient and technologically advanced.I use my knowledge from my university physics class and my math classes to tutor people at St. Mary's University. My students let me know that I am very patient with them and that I am very helpful. I was evaluated at the end of the year by all of my students and I received a 95% approval rating. I look forward to using my skills to help students through Varsity Tutors.

I am a graduate with a B.S. Biology and minor in Chemistry, I have a big passion for science and have been tutoring for about 6 years. I was a Teachers assistant for both Biology, Chemistry and other subjects. I want my students to achieve and excel in their subjects. Studying can be challenging but I believe that studying smarter, rather than harder is a key step in succeeding in your academic career. I am. currently pursuing my MD, l and do research in biomedical sciences. In my fields I see the importance of knowledge in biology and chemistry. I enjoy teaching, my first language is Spanish, I also like to orient students in achieving their goals particularly those who want to pursue something in the field of medicine, as this is my field.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!

I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
