Award-Winning Tutors from University of Miami

I am an 8th Grade US History teacher who is passionate about working with students regardless of where they're at. I've taught middle school for two full years, but I'm certified in both Illinois and Florida for Social Science from grades 6-12. My philosophy is that history isn't about memorizing dates, but about connecting the dots. I strive to help students build connections between the world they know and the world of the past-- there's more in common than you think!

As someone with a lifelong passion for education, I am always looking for an opportunity to provide instruction to eager students. Varsity Tutors seems like the perfect platform to apply my enthusiasm for teaching and help students realize their goals.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Art History and French. I've lived in France, Venezuela, Miami, and now New York, where I work at an art gallery full time. Besides teaching languages, I enjoy sharing sayings, traditions, and cultural customs, to create a well-rounded and dynamic learning experience.

I am a graduate of The University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida, where I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Theatre. Soon after graduating; I was hired by the Univision Network as an on-camera Video Disc Jockey host and a Disc Jockey at WHYI Y-100, a Pop and Top-40 radio station. I owned and was the Artistic Director of a theatre company that produced many plays while I acted various characters in Telenovelas and TV series on Telemundo and Primetime Network; and have taught at Miami Dade Community College Wolfson Campus, subjects such as English, Business English, Grammar, Reading, Writing, Spanish, ESOL, Accent Reduction and Voice and Diction in Business Schools, K-12 via the LAUSD school system and After School Programs in Los Angeles, for a total of fourteen years, as well as teaching Filmmaking, Film Producing, Theatre, Acting, TV Scriptwriting and Feature Film Scriptwriting. I believe education is the key to a better life with a brighter future; and I even invented an educational game in English and Spanish with words that thrill my students; creating joy and focus in them as they learn and progress in their vocabulary and varied studies in general. On my spare time I love delving into reading a good book, I practice Yoga and I enjoy traveling to far off distant lands.

I have been a tutoring for 2 years, and I am passionate about empowering students to achieve their academic goals! I can provide a wide depth of knowledge in and out of the classroom with science, history, mathematics, spanish and standardized testing. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Business Technology and Finance at the University of Miami, I bring a strong numbers background with the cultural and language understanding from being at Miami. My approach centers on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment, where I tailor lessons to meet individual student needs and build their confidence in problem-solving. I believe that every student has the potential to excel, and I strive to make learning both enjoyable and impactful!

As a recent high school graduate, I understand what it is like to juggle extracurriculars, AP classes, and college applications. I have sat through mundane test prep classes only to realize that I had not truly grasped the material and did not feel confident in my abilities to do well. I believe the key to excelling in a subject is to develop an interest in it along with learning the material, and this is what I hope I accomplish as a tutor for my students. I work with my students in a stress-free zone and encourage questions and discussion rather than lectures. In addition to studying engineering at the University of Miami, I have years of experience learning Russian as a native speaker. During high school I was a competitive ballroom dancer and continue to train in college.

I graduated from the University of Miami with a BS in Physics. While in high school, I attended math competitions across the country including one at Princeton University and another at New York University. My love for mathematics eventually led to virtual tutoring through Florida Virtual School where I tutored over 150 hours in Pre-Calculus, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and Chemistry. I love to teach because it lets me share my enthusiasm for mathematics and science with other students and helps me get a deeper understanding of material that is useful for my higher level mathematics and physics courses. As a tutor, I break down complicated problems into manageable concepts so students can gain confidence in solving these problems on their own.

Hello there! Hope you are doing well today. My name is Agnes and I am a recent graduate of the University of Miami. I have experience tutoring for an award winning company and for Varsity Tutors since last November. Successful tutoring involves two essential elements: an engaging, tutor who is effective at communicating concepts, and a committed, involved student who wants to learn. Frequently, I hear from parents that their student enjoyed the session with me. I believe this is because I do my best to make my sessions interactive, engaging and educational. I am proud to say that I have received positive feedback from parents thanking me for taking the time to help their student reach new heights in their academics.Most notably, a student I met with twice a week got his first A in his eighth grade Algebra class. Another one of my previous students got into her into her dream school-National Cathedral with the test taking strategy I provided. I absolutely love sharing the tools I have learned in my educational journey with others and seeing them flourish. Varsity Tutors gives me the ability to do just that!My track record includes: high school students for the SAT, 4th graders for the Cogat, SSAT, and ISEE, 8th graders for school subjects like algebra and the ISEE and SSAT.Thank you so much for reading. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Physics - Pure, and a Minor in Mathematics at the University of Miami. Mathematics and Physics are both subjects where tutoring is very beneficial, from talking out the conceptual understandings to guidance on how to approach and tackle a problem. At a young age these courses intimidated me, but through the help of tutors and professors I conquered my classes and passionately continued to higher levels of academia. I strive to have this same effect on my students, allowing them to feel confident of their knowledge and prepared to take on the next subject.

I am a graduate of The Spence School in New York City. I am a rising junior at The University of Miami, majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics. I have not formally tutored before, but I have extensive experience working with children, as well as helping my peers at school. I am looking forward to tutoring a wide variety of subjects in the fields of Mathematics and Economics. The subjects I feel most comfortable tutoring currently are calculus and statistics. I would describe my teaching style as interactive and collaborative. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, working out, and spending time with family. I am also currently studying to become a certified personal trainer.

I am a graduate of Cornell University (B.A.) and the University of Miami (M.S.Ed.). I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy with a minor in Women's Studies. I also earned my masters in education where I did research on literacy and writing strategies for students in grades 6-12. For the past 6 years I've been teaching ELA for 9th and 10th graders in Miami, FL. I've also tutored students who were struggling to prepare for Standardized Tests in the areas of Critical Reading and Writing exams. I firmly believe that any student can learn the literacy skills necessary to navigate the world.

I believe individuals should be supported in a way that is unique to them. I've been tutoring for 4 years, and will offer support in the beginning or end of a problem if needed.

I'm patient, approachable, and always willing to expla

I am a hard working systems professional that has never outgrown my love for math or for coaching others.As a student, I earned a BS in Mathematics/Psychology from Manhattan College with a minor in Computer Science. At that time I coached students in calculus and advanced mathematics. At this time, I also coached high school students in algebra and trigonometry.As a professional, I have trained and mentored hundreds of individuals throughout my career. I have both designed systems, created training material and traveled in both the US and Europe to train my co-workers. In addition, I have worked as on-line instructor for University of Phoenix, teach programming and Computer Information Systems.

I have worked with him over the years, and I am proud to say that he is sharing in my love of math as a student in the Math Program at the local Middle School.My favorite word when coaching is the word 'Yet'. Of course students may not be good at math...yet. And of course, a student may not know an answer to a math problem...yet. But with a little work, focus and motivation, WE can make it that understanding math is a great experience.

I recently graduated from the University of Miami with a B.S. in Neuroscience and Microbiology & Immunology with a minor in Biological Physics. I am currently on the pre-medical track, and am in the process of applying to medical schools. As I just went through the process of studying for and taking the MCAT examination, I am passionate about helping students navigate this complicated and, what can be, an overwhelming step in their pre-medical journey. If you've made it this far in your pre-med education, you are definitely capable of succeeding on this exam, and I would love to help you do that! I am also always open to discussing the rest of the pre-medical journey, from the process of applying to medical schools to advice about certain prerequisite courses or extracurriculars - don't hesitate to ask!

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Psychology from Boston College and my Master of Science in Education from University of Miami.

I believe that engaging the student throughout the lesson is of the utmost importance to ensure retention and understanding. Therefore, I I use PowerPoint for all lessons that contains notes and practice problems, which I then send at the end of each session. I also frequently check my email and chat to ensure constant communcation with studnets as they need.

I'm a drummer who has a passion for tutoring music and math. I received my Masters in Music from NYU and a BA in Music from the University of Miami along with a Minor in Mathematics. I enjoy working with students because I have incredibly fond memories of those educators who inspired my when I was younger and I want to create those same bonds with the younger generations. I have worked with students K-12 both in the classroom and privately. I tutor all levels of math including algebra geometry, trigonometry, as well as general music, music theory, and drums/percussion. I love teaching math because I love puzzles, and I consider math to have some of the most interesting puzzles waiting to be solved!

I am a graduate of The University of Miami. I received my Bachelor of Science in Health Science with a focus on chemistry, psychology, and public health. Since graduation, I have worked in a clinical setting helping physicians and patients, while also tutoring students on various subjects. I am passionate about healthcare and helping others, so I have been preparing to apply to medical schools while continuing my work with educating students who need the extra support. I enjoy teaching the sciences and mathematics, learning how to take the struggle out of these subjects. Moving from Egypt when I was younger, I did not have the capacity to seek help from tutors, so now I strive to lessen that barrier for other students by offering my knowledge.

If you had asked me in middle school what my favorite subject in school was, I'd have told you, "History!" and that was closely followed by English. I've always loved the power of storytelling to help us to learn about the past, the present, and perhaps most importantly, ourselves. It came as no surprise to my family and friends that I chose to major in history in college. As an undergraduate, I attended Ohio State University and completed my degree at Otterbein College, a small liberal arts school in Columbus, Ohio. Not content to simply read about history and the great works of literature, I pursued my M.A. and Ph.D in American history at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida, where I learned to create my own stories about the past.Now that I have completed my Ph.D., I finally get to focus my attention on sharing my passion for storytelling with others. I like to work with students of all ages. I have taught courses at the college level, and I've worked with high school students as well. I have two younger brothers in middle school, so I feel especially attuned to the psyche of that age group. In order to finish my degree in history, I wrote a 400 page dissertation and completed a field of study in English. Through this experience and my classroom teaching, I am well versed in the English language and can help you or your children not only to learn history, but also how to improve their reading and writing. If like me, your aim is to attend graduate school, I can also help you to prepare for the GRE verbal. I took the GRE twice and raised my score dramatically the second time through a combination of hard work and learning smart test taking strategies. I'd love to share that knowledge with others.While I'm certainly an expert in my field, I'm very friendly and down-to-earth. In my free time, I enjoy binge watching Netflix, cooking, shopping, hiking, watching Buckeye football, exercising, and playing soccer and tennis. In their evaluations of my teaching, students consistently commented that I was "nice," approachable, understanding, and communicated information clearly. Whether you struggle to learn the subject material, to get organized with your assignments or even just motivated to complete them, I am here to help and to boost your confidence in the process!

I have a J.D. and B.A. in history, international studies, and political science. I am fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I have basic proficiency in Hindi. I have experience working in various legal and governmental roles. I am qualified and eager to assist with any tutoring needs especially social sciences, humanities, and languages.

Hey! My name's Joe. I'm 19, I grew up in Montclair, NJ, but I am at school studying Music Engineering Technology at the University of Miami. I love to learn, and am a naturally curious person. I can't wait to teach!

***MUST BRING OWN MATERIALS IF IT IS HOMEWORK AND I MUST BE ABLE TO REVIEW PRIOR***I am a STEM & test prep tutor with a knack for writing!Shalom! My name is Samantha but you can call me Sammie Jo or just Sammie. I was born and raised in Cleveland, OH - graduated from Strongsville High School in 2013 with a 4.3 GPA and number 30 of roughly 600 students. I have 5 brothers and sisters who are my best friends. Looking for a new adventure, I accepted my spot at the University of Miami. I was rather the major-changer at first, dropping the very competitive neuroscience program I was part of my freshman year only in exchange for curiosity in fields like math and philosophy. After that, I found my true love, chemistry. While chemistry does not have the most beautiful reputation among many, it is with no doubt what I love and thus, I decided to major in it earning a 3.7 chemistry GPA by senior year. My minors are in math and psychology, but I do have substantial knowledge in physics and philosophy.Unfortunately, I went through some health struggles and was out of school for a year and a half, still determined to get those 3 classes done and be a graduated Cane! I moved back to Cleveland for treatment and to be with my family. Miami has been incredible to allowing me to take the 3 courses I need to graduate at Case Western Reserve University so I can get 100% healthy at home. I plan to officially have a BS from the University of Miami in Chemistry with minors in math and psychology by May 2019.I am always happy to expand on any of the mentioned above, but just want to give a summary more or less and not a life story.As far as Tutoring goes, I do have substantial experience, though it is freelance. See my subjects for what I can tutor - I do specialize in math, ACT, and chemistry- I am a writer - as a hobby, I blog, but I am an excellent editor and score in the 99% percentile in any instance for writing on a test (ACT, SAT, GRE)I think that hits all the bases of how I can be available to you. I'm primarily a problem solver, so I really like to be able to look at step-by-step ways to solve a problem because it can be daunting. But, I believe in me and I believe in you! Let's do this!

I am an experienced and passionate tutor, that has worked with a range of students and adults. I tutored for 2 years at The university of Miami Writing Center working with undergraduate, graduate and PhD students. I have a Bachelors degree in International Relations and a Masters in English. I am also a two-time published author that has a deep love of writing and guiding students on their writing journeys through whatever assignments feel like obstacles in the current moment.

Being a student I understand the struggle to learn new subjects, skills, and software. This year alone I have learned two new coding languages, two new game engines, and three new art software. My philosophy is even if I may not know the problem or understand what is the solution immediately, I can work tirelessly to find the best answer.

Every moment I teach music I strive to be sharing something much larger - the love of life. What students learn with me will include the nuts and bolts of music making, but the way we learn, the habits we develop, and our pursuit of human expression will overflow into every aspect of life. My goal is that every student walks away with a deep passion for living life beautifully. My experiences have been extremely diverse! Ranging from folk and bluegrass performance to Concerto Competitions and everything in between. While my primary instrument is saxophone, I play many instruments and love arranging music as well. My passion for music is something that gives me a spark in my spirit everyday. I seek to share that joy with students to inspire them to find what makes them passionate in life. I measure my success through knowing that students who leave are full of passion to be beautiful people.

I am a graduate of the University of Miami, where I majored in Psychology and English, with a focus in Creative Writing, and minored in Art. As a student, I was employed through America Reads. I worked individually with a kindergarten classroom of both special needs and neurotypical students, working with each child to develop a program that was both fun and effective in helping them overcome deficits. I tutor in English, literature, writing, math, and test prep at a variety of levels. I am most passionate about literature and writing as they are both hobbies I enjoy, but I also enjoy math because each problem feels like a puzzle to solve. I believe that learning should be engaging and fun, and was grateful to have many educators who helped me develop a strong educational background that has since provided me with many opportunities. I believe it is important to provide children and young adults with learning environments that emphasize the fun of learning, rather than portraying it as an inescapable chore. I try to provide an environment that encourages students to become active learners. In my free time, I enjoy reading all types of books, writing poetry and fiction, scuba diving, and hiking and slogging in the Everglades.

I am a graduate of the University of Miami, where I received my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. I also earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of California Irvine. In my eight years of tutoring and teaching, I have worked with teens and adults across the United States, as well as two years teaching young children in Japan. My tutoring specialty is in Verbal, Writing, and Critical Reading for the GRE, SAT, and ACT, but I have an overall passion for English language and literature.
