Award-Winning Tutors from University of California-Berkeley

I am an energetic, effective, and experienced teacher. After completing my B.A. in English with Philosophy Minor from UC Berkeley, I lived in Rome, Italy for two years where I taught English as a Second Language. During this time, I discovered that I had a passion and a gift for teaching.I completed my PhD in Comparative Literature with an emphasis on Latin American Studies from UC Los Angeles in 2009. While at UCLA I taught courses in Comparative Literature (Great Books), Writing Composition, and Spanish. From 2010-2014, I was Visiting Assistant Professor of Spanish at Whitman College. I am currently Visiting Assistant Professor of Humanities at Lewis and Clark College where I teach courses in the Core curriculum and Spanish. My objective is to connect with students and stimulate intellectual curiosity, which I believe is the key to learning.

I first began tutoring when I was in high school. There was just something about helping others learn difficult concepts that really appealed to me. I thought I might have wanted to become a teacher of some sort and went into UC Berkeley with these intentions.Since then, I fell in love with science and research and decided that I would go to medical school. As a doctor, I will be able to continue my passion for teaching while helping others in their most vulnerable states. I am starting medical school this fall at the University of California, Davis and am excited to begin my life long journey of not only treating others, but teaching my peers.

I graduated with honors from UC Berkeley's English program. While in college, I worked as a tutor, designing lesson plans and teaching accelerated classes for elementary to high schoolers within a day-time tutoring program. This included standardized test prep as well. My biggest priority as a tutor is helping you find the confidence and belief in your own ability. This, I've found, has the biggest impact on a student's performance.

I'm a graduate of the University of Washington in Seattle where I received my MFA in Acting from the School of Drama. I did myundergraduate work in Theatre and Performance Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.Since relocating to Manhattan from the West Coast, I've had the great fortune to teach in a variety of settings-- from privatetutoring, to lead teaching at ESL Language Schools, to leading literacy-based theater residencies in the public school system. My earliestteaching experiences were in college-level English and ESL-- I'm a CELTA-certified ESL teacher, and have always been passionate aboutlanguage and literacy. In recent years, however, I've also been working more and more on privately tutoring Language Arts, Humanities,and Test Prep (SAT, AP, TOEFL) with students at the middle and high school level. I love the challenge of tailoring my lessons to an individual student's needs, and the rewarding process of helping a student find the specific approach and skill set that works for him or her. I thinkit's vitally important to give my students the skills they need to go on and work independently-- so I look at tutoring as partof the developmental process that will have lasting, tangible results.As a parallel to my teaching work, I'm an actor and playwright. In my spare time I love exploring new neighborhoods, traveling, cooking(and eating!) and watching movies.

I am a fourth year undergraduate student at UC Berkeley currently studying molecular and environmental biology with an emphasis on human health and the environment. I am interested in either going into medicine or working within an environmental, scientific, or healthcare related field. I enjoy teaching and learning new things and helping others better understand academic subjects.

I am about to complete a M.A. in Physics at UC Berkeley, after receiving my B.S. from MIT with a double major in literature and particle physics. I love to learn, but I also love to teach, and have been serving as a tutor or teacher in some capacity since high school. I'm a veteran of the AP system and of the SAT, and a more recent veteran of the GRE, so I know what's tough about these tests and how to conquer them. My tutoring philosophy is centered around teaching the core concepts of a subject, so students have a good sense of where strategies come from and how to apply them. Ultimately I think most math, science and humanities is extremely interesting if you can build confidence and fundamental understanding, and I hope to share my enthusiasm with my students!

I am a research chemist at Northwestern University with ten years of experience as a tutor, teacher, or mentor. I have experience tutoring collegiate physics, calculus, and chemistry. I have also taught introductory college chemistry courses (both as a TA and head instructor). I am best suited as a chemistry tutor since I am a chemist by training. However, I also enjoy tutoring physics and math. I try to promote a growth mindset in my tutoring sessions and aim to help students build confidence in math and science. I received a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from UC Berkeley and a B.S. in Chemistry and Physics from Haverford College.

Growing up with good mentors was crucial for the development of not only my academic success, but also the growth of me as an individual. I strongly believe that with correct and steadfast guidance, anyone can achieve anything. I was inspired by my own teachers to become what I loved, which turns out to be a mechanical engineering student, and I hope to reciprocate that to the upcoming generations.

I am a Structural Engineer with degrees in Civil Engineering and Architecture, and I have passed the SE exam. I volunteered as an assistant teacher in college, have taught seminars to colleagues, and have tutored and mentored informally over the years.

I have been teaching private lessons since 2011 and am currently available to teach lessons online, at your local library, or home. I have helped students with critical thinking, writing papers, and improving test scores.I received my training at Mills College in 2014 where I received a M.F.A. degree in Creative Writing, Poetry. As an expert in my field, I look forward to helping new students achieve their goals. My teaching style is patient, engaging, and challenging. I am interested in helping students gain access to materials that might be challenging and do so by understanding each individual's learning style and needs.

I graduated from Edina High School, MN and am currently studying data science at UC Berkeley. I also attended Minneapolis Japanese School from 2004-2019 and was raised in a bilingual household. This taught me to speak, read and write Japanese, and I would be happy to tutor students in this language! While I tutor many subjects, I am particularly passionate about math as well as standardized test prep. I studied math on a double-accelerated track throughout middle school and high school, covering math from algebra to multivariable calculus. Aside from teaching academic subjects, I am also trained in playing the piano and violin, having taken lessons for piano from the ages of 4 to 18 and playing violin in my school orchestra from 5th to 12th grade. I love working with students to improve their skills in an area of study, and my favorite part is getting to see them gain confidence in themselves and their own abilities!

I am a California native who resides in Chicago. I completed my undergraduate education at the University of California, Berkeley. I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Cognitive Science and chose to minor in Education because I wanted to be better equipped for my roles as a mentor and tutor. During college I provided homework help and college preparation for high school students in Oakland and I worked as a literacy tutor for elementary aged children. Since graduation, I gained three years of experience as an after school program tutor leading educational games and computer-based tutoring. Even though I have a strong background in English, I can also tutor elementary to middle school math. My favorite subject to tutor is Math because understanding the basics opens up a whole new world of numbers to explore. I am very patient so I don’t mind giving my students a moment to grasp a concept or describing it in new ways until it is better understood. My philosophy is that students just need support and encouragement when they are frustrated with the problems they are trying to solve. Aside from trying to bring out the potential in students I enjoy a myriad of hobbies including playing guitar, juggling, and bowling.

I am a science Ph.D. who is looking to help you. I have four and a half years' experience at mentoring gifted students, and over three hundred hours' experience at tutoring STEM subjects, at both high school and college levels. I like seeing a student first understand something, and I have often done so.I have taken education classes in order to learn about teaching. I know this knowledge is already helping me become a better tutor, and may help me become a college professor someday. These classes have acquainted me with various student-centered approaches I can use to reach verbal, visual and kinesthetic learners.If I know what a student needs to discuss before we meet, I draw upon Schaum's Outlines to first acquaint myself with a topic, so that a student and I can work efficiently to help them learn. I get a lot of repeat business from students who have realized that they are filling their knowledge gaps quickly. These students also see their understanding grow and their grades improve.My interests are in chess (my rating is about 1700 USCF), board games, cooking and historical fiction. My book collection runs to over a thousand hardcover and paperback books, and I am starting to read electronic books as well. I have sold books on Alibris, and have traded hundreds in Little Free Libraries and upon the PaperBackSwap and BookMooch book trading websites.If you are a student looking to fill knowledge gaps in STEM subjects, please consider working with me to do so quickly and effectively.

I am a recent graduate from the University of California, Berkeley. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Literature. My focus was English and Russian Language and Literature. While at Berkeley I began tutoring ESL students in English grammar and essay writing. Since graduation I completed my TEFL certification and worked as an English teacher in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong I became familiar with the SSAT, and tutored several students of different levels. I have worked with students of all different ages and learning levels, and my goal has been to help them communicate themselves in written and spoken English. This has included teaching them academic, creative, and personal writing. The ability to write in a clear and engaging style is crucial to any student's success, even if the last creative essay they write is their personal statement for a college application. So few schools teach this skill, and even fewer teachers have the time to give students the individual attention that they need. I enjoy working with students who are learning to express themselves through writing, whether they need help with English grammar, literature analysis, or personal style.

I attended the University of California, Berkeley and graduated with Honors in 2013. My BA is in Theater and Performance Studies, though I also loved my classes on Art History and Politics. I’m originally from San Jose, CA, and I began tutoring at my high school. I coached students on Public Speaking and helped struggling writers with their SAT essays. During this time, I found a deep satisfaction in mentoring students through difficult stretches of their academic lives. Some of my students in high school became life-long friends, and I have never forgotten the importance of being a supportive influence in a time of need. Though taking practice tests can be a real slog, I bring a fun and supportive atmosphere to my tutoring sessions. I want my students to remember that the real purpose of studying is to learn and to grow; if we can find a way to accomplish those goals, better test scores will follow naturally.Since graduating, I have moved to New York to pursue my dreams of being an actor. My particular specialty is in Shakespeare, and I hope to spread my love of his poetry to many others, whether through teaching or performance. In my free time, I am an avid skateboarder, guitar player, and I love to read!

I recently retired from the Los Angeles Unified School District after a 30 year career in which I worked as a teacher, counselor and school principal. (I am a youthful 55 years old.) I have a Bachelors degree in English from the University of California at Berkeley, a Masters degree in Professional Writing from the University of Southern California, as well as California credentials in teaching, school counseling and school administration. My interest in tutoring is to help students reach their goals as expediently as possible while making the tutoring sessions an enjoyable experience for the student. I attempt to establish a positive rapport with the student as quickly as possible in which the student feels understood, accepted and liked. If the student is comfortable with the tutor, the focus can be entirely on the subject matter. I use humor whenever possible. My interests outside of tutoring include daily exercise and writing. I am currently taking a course in playwriting.

My goal as a teacher is to create an educational environment that encourages both instructor and students to learn and to grow as learners through authentic experience, collaboration with one another, and active engagement with material. I believe that the role of a teacher is not to merely tell content to a student, but rather to act as navigator while the student propels him or herself forward into the uncharted terrain of a new subject. My teaching style focuses on helping students take ownership of their learning so that they continue to succeed long after working with me.I received both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of California, Berkeley in Religious Studies and Folklore respectively. I wrote my Masters Thesis on the Culture and Music of American Jewish summer camp, and am currently in the process of turning my thesis into a book. Over the last several years, in addition to earning my Masters Degree, I have also taught in a variety of capacities ranging from rock 'n' roll school to children's music to leading discussion sections for Berkeley undergraduates as a Graduate Student Instructor.While I teach a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about helping students edit their own writing and develop their literary voice. Although knowledge of math, science, and history are vital, expressing oneself in writing is perhaps the most difficult yet critically important skill for succeeding in our society. As one who has struggled with writing in the past but now feels ownership over his voice, I find helping others develop their writing and editing techniques to be incredibly rewarding.When I am not teaching or writing, I enjoy playing guitar and singing with other people, playing and watching basketball, watching football, and hiking in nature.

I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in Applied Mathematics, emphasizing in Actuarial Science, and a minor in Music. I have been tutoring for a few years now. I've tutored students of all ages and levels. I like to keep things simple; my approach is to break down difficult problems into smaller, easier, more manageable problems. I teach my students to do the same. I enjoy helping anybody who wants to learn.

Since high school, I've been exposed to different aspects of education from mentoring peer immigrants to studying education policy. Studying cognitive science in college has solidified my interest in and taught me various effective teaching methods. Ive learned that there are different types of intelligence as well as different types of learning. In order to be an effective educator, it is important to establish a relationship with the pupil to utilize the pupils learning style.Moments from being a summer school teacher for 4th-6th graders and a resident assistant for 2 years, fuel my passion for teaching. The joy on the students faces when they achieve a goal or the gratefulness they express for my help stay with me to this day. By working with Varsity Tutors I hope to apply what Ive learned as well as gain more field experience.I recently came to DC from California to do an internship with the Department of State. Being born and raised in California, DC is quite different from what I'm used to but I am excited to be here!Please let me know if you have any more questions. Thank you.

I am a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley (Cal). I received my Bachelor of Arts in English with a focus on British and American Literature. I also received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, with an A in the Honors Program. My program in philosophy was an advanced interdisciplinary program, requiring me to specialize in logic and the methodology of science; as such, I intensively studied:- the foundations of mathematics, including set theory, recursion theory, model theory, and theory of proofs,- philosophical logic, including modal logic,- philosophy of mathematics,- logic in computer science and artificial intelligence,- theory of computational complexity,- history of logic,as well as other areas of research with heavy reliance on formal methods, such as general algebra, tensor calculus, non-standard analysis, decision theory, game theory, probability, philosophy of language, and philosophy of science. I received a score of 170 on my GRE Quantitative (i.e., Math) Section. I have tutored over a hundred students in both K-12 as well as college-level mathematics, from introductory algebra to test prep in advanced Calculus.I also hold a Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies, for which my concentrations are English and American Literature, Composition and Creative Writing.As a former Residential Life Tutor in World Literature and Composition at U.C. Berkeley, I have extensive knowledge of all periods of literature. I have also taught courses addressing a vast array of literary/philosophical movements.During my time as an Instructional Assistant in English at American River College, I displayed impeccable organizational skills and flexibility, thereby allowing me to manage a full course load whenever necessary. Throughout my academic and corporate career, I consistently demonstrated my ability to work with students from a variety of backgrounds and with a variety of learning styles. By utilizing pedagogical approaches that address varied learning preferences, I made abstract concepts fun and understandable. I especially enjoy helping students to cultivate a deep love of, and appreciation for, literature through various state-of-the-art teaching strategies.Ultimately, I am a passionate learner for life. Studying any subject involves both student and instructor in confidence-building conversations about information which students may wish to understand, intellectually as well as emotionally. I am, therefore, a proponent of non-confrontational learning and use a variety of methods to not only encourage discussion on the issues a course presents my student but also instil the kind of confidence a student requires to return to class with confidence as well as augmented knowledge. Tutoring, consequently, allows me to fulfil what I believe to be a fundamental responsibility of a democratic educational system: to communicate information while also building character and confidence so a student is empowered to make informed decisions regarding her or his intellectual and emotional well-being.

I am a book author and cultural anthropologist with college classroom teaching experience in the social sciences. I have helped academics and college and graduate students with essays, theses and papers with a focus on bringing out their strongest ideas and making their writing accessible and clear to the reader. I have experience working with people whose first language is not English and recently helped turn papers that had been rejected for publication into articles published in the best journals in their field.I enjoy empowering students to do their best work by breaking down the work of writing into achievable steps. It's exciting to help them discover and bring to light the ideas that are often buried in their notes and thoughts.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Integrative Biology from the University of California, Berkeley where I focused on ecology and evolutionary biology. As an undergraduate, I had the chance to serve in two teaching positions on campus. In the first course, I assisted graduate students and professors to guide a class through core level biology. The second was a hands-on affair, in which I led students through the preparation of animal specimens for preservation in a museum. Through my experiences, I have discovered that the best way to learn and teach a subject is to tackle it with a variety of approaches. For example, students intimidated by the technical jargon of math often find problems easier to understand when symbols are replaced with words. Through such strategies, I aim to make dense material more communicable and relatable and to provide students with the confidence to accept new challenges. I am most excited to discuss ecology, evolution, and math, but I am also able to tutor subjects such as physics, writing, and standardized testing. In my free time, I enjoy playing video games, practicing martial arts, and hiking.

Although new to Varsity Tutors, I spent the last year at a tutoring center, specializing in English and History. A favorite with the students, I work with you to identify a goal: a higher score on the SAT reading section, persuasive essays, elegant written communication. Together, we create a plan for success. Along the way, I act as both the coach and cheerleader. I believe in celebrating those small victories the right verb tense, the corrected clause error, the artfully placing the semi-colon. I use storytelling and metaphor to make difficult concepts relatable, and my background in theater and performance keeps students engaged.My strongest subjects include the English, Reading, and Essay portions of the ACT and SAT; the AP US and World History, and English Literature and Language tests; essays and research papers; and basic language and grammar acquisition.I recently moved to Portland from the SF Bay Area, and I am using this year to enjoy the sights and sounds of the city as I pursue my teaching credential. I am an accomplished home cook I wish I could list cooking lessons on my profile! My sport of choice is Overwatch. And I'm a feline fanatic.I hope to hear from you soon!

I'm currently a major at U.C. Berkeley living in Orlando, FL since my university went online. I love the diversity in thought patterns I see among my students and hope for the chance to puzzle out your brain with you. I've worked as a private tutor for three years and currently attend U.C. Berkeley. I'm a junior majoring in Cognitive Science and minoring in Computer Science, which keeps me sharp in a lot of academic areas. I believe learning and playing your strengths is crucial to any academic pursuit and prioritize patience above all.

I am a Senior at UC Berkeley, expecting to graduate next spring with a degree in Engineering Physics. Since I began tutoring, it has always been my philosophy to make sure the student understands a subject by breaking down concepts in the easiest way. My passion for the sciences drives me to not only teach what is on paper, but offer deeper insights to the material. I also love to laugh, and because of that, I try to make sessions light hearted, and less intimidating. Furthermore, as a problem solver, I will stop at nothing to ensure a student succeeds and fully understands a subject.

I am from Santa Monica, California where I attended Santa Monica High School. I attended the University of California at Berkeley for four years obtaining my undergraduate degree in Integrative Biology with departmental honors. I attended the University of Louisville School of Medicine in the PhD program for Physiology.I played baseball and football in high school, club baseball and intramural flag football during my time at Berkeley. I stay active now riding my bike/jogging in Cherokee park in the Highlands of Louisville. I'd like to get back into practicing yoga some time soon.I completed coursework in the Physiology PhD program, maintaining a 4.0+ GPA. My academic specialties are Biology, Physiology, Cell Biology, Biostatistics and am proficient in mathematics including Calculus I, Algebra I and II.Post grad I have continued my education in the fields of accounting and taxation through UC Berkeley's online extension program. I have recently passed all three levels of the special enrollment exam (SEE) and applied for the Enrolled Agent designation through the IRS - status is 'in review'.

I studied computer science and statistics in college. Since late high school I have had a regular teaching commitment, whether it was helping younger students prepare for standardized tests or TA'ing for college courses. I can tutor very effectively across a variety of math, computer science, and statistics subjects, but am most passionate and have the most 1-on-1 experience in probability and statistics and test prep. I believe that anyone with a good amount of motivation can learn what they desire to a high level with the correct help, and I find the experience of providing that help very rewarding and actively seek opportunities to do so.

Hello! I am a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley with a Bachelors degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology. During my four years of college, I guided K-12 students of the Oakland area in Language Arts and Mathematics and served as a mentor for many high school students. I have also been an undergraduate student instructor for the General Biology lab course offered at U.C. Berkeley, a prerequisite for students wishing to pursue Biology as a major. Since I have a wide range of teaching experiences in both academic subjects and test preparation, I am highly adaptable to different learning styles and cater my teaching methods to meet student needs. Apart from being flexible, I am also very accessible for additional questions or help that is needed. In my spare time, I enjoy baking, exploring my city and watching movies.

With an MBA, a Masters certificate from UCLA, and a BA in Applied Math from UC Berkeley, you would be correct in guessing I enjoy numbers, analysis and the hard sciences. I think I've enjoyed learning how to connect those to the softer skills, applying new ways to make teaching or convincing in these fields easier for others, whether students or business professionals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Statistics, Calculus, Chemistry & Physics, along with investments/economics. I have greatly enjoyed working with all sorts of students, from students struggling to prepare for standardized tests to the bogged down, overworked no-time-left for the quiz tomorrow as well as the hyper-excelling, curious about advancing overachievers -- there really is something to learn at all times, and that isn't for the student to learn from the teacher, but also the reverse. I believe in making any topic, as necessary or obligatory as it may be, connected enough to something else that you may more likely come across in your day-to-day life. Or demonstrate an importance to simply be curious and how enriching learning can be. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (mostly historical fiction/business, but fiction has made its way to the Kindle of late), playing with our samoyed dog, and when the sun's out, a bit of golf. Hope to meet you soon.

I am a graduate of Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. I received a Bachelor of Science in Applied and Computational Mathematics, along with a minor in Physics. In the near future, I will be attending the University of California, Berkeley to obtain a Masters degree in Financial Engineering. Throughout my years as an undergraduate, I tutored many students in all subjects of mathematics. I am most passionate and experienced in Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Trigonometry. I have also helped colleagues practice for the GRE Quantitative section. I believe that the most efficient way to learn mathematics is simply to do mathematics. Practicing problems, along with understanding their solution process, is the best way to learn any subject of mathematics. This studying process will ensure that one not only knows how to approach every problem, but understand it as well. In my spare time, I enjoy playing soccer, playing video games, and jogging with my dog.

I'm a Ph.D. candidate in the English Dept. at UC Berkeley back in NYC to finish my dissertation. Over the past few years, I've taught students at a wide range of levels including: College literature and composition classes at UC Berkeley, Middle school writing classes, High School Essay Writing and SAT Test Prep classes, SAT/PSAT tutoring, and High school tutoring (English and History).I'm fluent in French and studied at the Sorbonne in Paris for a year during my previous life as a Historian. When I'm not tutoring or working on my dissertation, I do some freelance writing. It's a cliche to say that my writing informs my teaching while my teaching improves my writing, but it's also true: the constant effort to improve my own work helps me to understand what my students are going through, while my work as a teacher and tutor gives me a fresh perspective on my writing. I always stress that writing is rewriting. One of my happiest moments as a teacher was when one of my students won the UC Berkeley English Department's annual Essay Prize last spring with a paper I helped her to revise.In terms of test prep, I aim for a balance between tricks (outsmarting the test) and skill development (boosting a student's reading comprehension, vocabulary, etc.). I used to be skeptical about test strategies; I got a perfect verbal score on my own SAT and consistently scored in the 99th percentile on the verbal section of every standardized test I ever took without resorting to any kind of special technique. However, as I've worked as a tutor, I've come to realize just how *many* of those tests I took for practice before I took the real thing. By the time I sat down to the real SAT, I'd been steeped in test-prep culture for years. Even if I didn't intentionally set out to attack the test with "tricks," those tricks were embedded in my subconscious. Now, when I work with students to prepare for tests, I try to make sure they have the same level of preparation and comfort that I had as well as the skills to succeed.

I recently graduated from the University of California, Berkeley. I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Cognitive Science (an interdisciplinary major dedicated to the study of the brain and mind through the disciplines of Neuroscience, Psychology, Computer Science, Linguistics, Philosophy, and Anthropology), with a concentration in Neuroscience. In addition, I minored in French. There are two things I love: learning and helping others learn! I am patient and always dedicated to trying my absolute best at helping every scholar I have the pleasure of tutoring. I am always prepared for every tutoring session and I bring all resources I have that have the potential to aid my scholar in any way. I have tutored individuals of all ages, ranging from elementary school students to college students, in a variety of subjects. Although I love to tutor students in many subjects, I am particularly intrigued by language, so my favorite subjects to tutor are English and French. Tutoring is such a rewarding experience for me because I find true joy in helping others succeed! I am passionate about helping students because I realize the value in knowledge, and having the opportunity to spread knowledge is an awesome and fun experience for me. I am a huge nature-lover, so in my spare time, I enjoy taking nature walks and going on hikes.

I've spent the last 15 years tutoring kids in various subjects. Some of my favorite subjects to teach are math, writing, reading, psychology and sociology. I believe that learning should be fun and presented in a way that's not only relevant to the student, but also in a way that makes them think for themselves.I look forward to making learning fun for all students who come my way!

Hello. I'm Jerome and I hope I can help in your academic journey. As someone who's received tutoring before, I hope I can help students, not only learn the subject matter, but the study and thinking skills to succeed academically. By learning the skills, you can gain the confidence to pursue other endeavors. Don't give up. Ask for help. We'll succeed together.

I am currently a 2nd Year Master of International Affairs Candidate at the Columbia School of International and Public Affairs. I enjoy teaching subjects such as French, English, Writing, and Math.

I enjoy helping students reach their academic and personal goals. My background is in economics, social sciences, and technology.I hope to help students improve their grades and test scores.

I am a native of New York City and has been teaching since 2003. I have taught middle and high school (both public and private), as well as at the college level. I have a BA in English from UC Berkeley, an MA in Secondary Education from CUNY Brooklyn College, an MPhil in Anglo Irish Literature from Trinity College Dublin and a PhD in English from St. John's University. In my free time I enjoy CrossFit, writing fiction, meditation, eating pizza and exploring New York City.

Reduced assignment error rate 90%, improved performance 55%... These are just two of my many accomplishments over the last year. Are you looking to improve you or your student's performance in school? As an academic enthusiast, I believe that every student is capable of performing at a high level. Specializing in Algebra 1, Math, Business and Financial and Managerial Accounting, I wish to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is George and my goal is to advance the performance of each student using customized lessons. Getting to know each student for who they are is an essential part of teaching to understand, all while making lessons fun.

m Mikie (My Key). I have been tutoring biology since 2015. I earned my Biology MA from Hunter College in 2023. Before this, I graduated with a Biology BA from UC Berkeley and have took continuing education courses in human anatomy and human physiology as well as medical level courses in biochemistry, pathophysiology, and pharmacology. I currently teach A&P lab and recitation at a university. I have been working for Varsity Tutors since 2015. In 2020, I had the pleasure to teach over 100 high school biology students at a school in New York City as a high long-term substitute biology teacher. I have dedicated much of my life to helping others, having been a part of hospitals, a non-profit organization for bird of prey rehabilitation, and a college learning resource center. The areas I tutor are biology, microbiology, anatomy, and physiology. These include honors biology, AP Biology, and IB Biology HL. I will sometimes accept tutoring requests of other biology subjects if I have taken them myself. Of all of these subjects, I most enjoy tutoring physiology because I find how the body functions extremely interesting and there are numerous medical applications to the field. I can tutor Survey of Natural Science Biology from the OAT and biology from the MCAT. I do not tutor NBEO. I cater mainly to visual-auditory learners because I tend to organize information into simple charts and diagrams sometimes, I even draw out processes. If you stick around the extra half hour, I may have time to test you with and go over practice problems. I firmly believe patience, practice, and persistence contribute to a more effective style of learning. My goal is teach college-level biological science courses as a long-term career.

My philosophy as a tutor is that learning only occurs if interest can be cultivated. My goal is to help students find their passion for scholarship as I found mine; through discovery.
