Award-Winning Tutors from University of Miami

I am currently a graduate student at Columbia University pursuing my Masters in Public Administration. For the past three years, I have worked at education focused non-profit organizations. During this time, I have worked as a literacy and math tutor for middle school students, as well as led a writing seminar for high school students preparing to go to college. I enjoy working with students of all grade and skill level, and I love to make learning fun!

I'm a student at the University of Miami who has a love for both learning and teaching! I love engaging and fun learning environments, while also making sure that academic progress is being made. I enjoy humanities subjects and am a big fan of the IB curriculum. I'm so excited to work with talented and hard-working students, and nurture our love for learning!

I am an experienced math instructor as well as football, basketball and volleyball coach who relishes the opportunity to help student athletes see their own true potential. If you hate math, I'm the guy for you!

As a dedicated tutor, I'm passionate about helping students unlock their full potential. I focus on creating a supportive, engaging environment tailored to each student's learning style. With a strong background in math, science, english, and history, I aim to build both knowledge and confidence, guiding students to reach their academic goals. I believe in fostering critical thinking and encouraging curiosity, ensuring long-term success beyond just passing exams. My approach is patient, adaptable, and driven by a genuine commitment to seeing my students excel.

Hello! My name is Jesus Ramos. I am a recent graduate of the University of Florida with a degree in Economics. I am now pursuing my Master's in Finance at the University of Miami. Go Canes! Fun fact: I was also my high school's valedictorian! Over the years, I have developed a strong foundation of many subjects, including math, science, and reading, from the elementary school level to the college level. I also have a strong foundation in finance and have passed the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Certification from FINRA. I have prior experience tutoring all ages. I know what it's like to be tutored, and I have learned what works and what doesn't. If you like to have fun and want your learning to be easy, make sure to sign up!

I am extremely patient and will make sure the student I'm working with truly understands what we're working on. The great thing about tutoring one on one is being able to go at each student's pace and work with their unique learning styles. I'm personally very visual and need to draw a picture to figure out a problem. I enjoy learning about the student's interests and incorporating them into the lesson to make it more fun and interesting. I've been working in education for about 5 years. I taught preschool and 4th grade and have tutored ages 4 to 18. My favorite subject is Math, but I enjoy working with all subjects.

Hello! I am a current third year dental student pursuing my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology/Immunology with double minors in Chemistry and Entrepreneurship from the University of Miami. Go Canes! Aside from my background in the sciences and business, I thoroughly enjoy reading and writing. In fact, I scored perfectly on both of my states writing assessments in the 8th and 11th grades. I have helped many of my peers and mentees in performing well on a vast array of exams, classes, and standardized tests. My tutoring style consists of positive reinforcement, active listening and probing, and presenting material in easy, manageable steps. I believe that learning should be fun no matter the subject, and I look forward to spreading my knowledge and passion with each of you.

Nothing makes me happier than tutoring high school students in subjects that I love. I graduated from a very competitive high school and I completely understand the rigorous nature of AP courses and the pressure to get a top notch SAT score. With a 2370 SAT score and a 4.0 throughout college and high school, I think I am definitely qualified to tutor. However, more than being qualified, what I've always hoped to achieve as a tutor is to develop the ability in my tutees to become strong independent learners with effective study strategies that they can take with them wherever they go. My motto is "Study Smarter, not just Harder!"

The University of Miami has provided me with a spectacular background for helping others. Currently, I am a rising Junior at UM majoring in Mathematics and Economics with minors in Psychology and Education and will end up graduating with both a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science. My drive to endure such a rigorous schedule comes from the competitive edge that I feel that I have. Being a four-year, three-sport athlete throughout high school and juggling this with multiple AP courses, I felt well prepared for my time at the university level; it also pushed me to want more from my university experience. In the past, I have mostly worked informally with students as a tutor. At the University of Miami, I have been involved in a club that travels to a local church and simply helps students with homework trouble they may be having. In addition, I have tutored in a formal setting this past semester when I helped a student before his Calculus II final. I enjoyed tutoring in this formal setting, especially in subjects that revolve around Calculus (i.e. precursors such as Algebra and Pre-Calculus and Calculus I itself). Additionally, I feel extremely comfortable with the content of the ACT! When working with students, I feel it is important to appeal to what the student is interested in and apply the subject to those interests. Because of this, I place a strong emphasis on understanding the student, including their hobbies and interests. I also feel that it is important for the student to trust me as their tutor and to know that they share in some common interests. Personally, I enjoy keeping both my body and brain active. Therefore, I enjoy any kind of team sport (being a volleyball, basketball, and softball player in high school), being outdoors, and reading in my free time.

I am a fun, creative college student who ensures every student gets the results they need in an efficient way.

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'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! My approach is that there is always more than one way to arrive at the answer to a problem, I'm simply here to find what solution works best for each of my students. Perhaps right now you're not the biggest fan of math or music, but I'm here to change that!

I am thrilled to offer my tutoring services to students who are looking to improve their academic performance and reach their full potential.

I am genuinely passionate about education and believe that every student has the potential to succeed. I understand the challenges that come with academic pursuits, and I am dedicated to helping students overcome those challenges and achieve their goals.As someone who has received tutoring in the past, I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your tutor. That's why I strive to create a welcoming and supportive learning environment where students can feel at ease and confident in their ability to learn.

I am a graduate of the University of Miami with a Bachelor of Science in Health Science and Psychology. I am currently working as a medical scribe upon matriculation into medical school. I worked as a tutor for Kumon Learning Center while in high school and continued to tutor during college.My favorite students to work with are elementary and middle school students, but I am able to help with high school students as well. I have the most experience in tutoring reading, math and science-related subjects.My teaching style embodies two main qualities, the development of productive habits and exposure to a wide variety of study methods. I believe in consistent encouragement and repetition in order to achieve one's desired academic success.In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball with my friends, going running and working out at least 4 times a week.

With a Masters in Mathematics Education and four years teaching at the high school level, I feel well prepared to address the needs of a wide variety of students. My method consists of asking students the right questions so that the students can figure out the problems themselves. I model the best ways of thinking so students learn how to ask themselves the right questions when I am no longer by their side. I seldom have students rely on "tricks"; instead, students will learn the underlying reasoning so that they can extend their solving methods to new related problem types. I look forward to applying my years of tutoring and teaching experience to help many motivated students.

I love working with students because I'm passionate about sharing ideas and enjoy learning as a community. I also went to summer camp as a camper and counselor for thirteen years, coached middle school basketball for several years and love having fun while guiding group learning.

I am currently a strategy analyst as MasterCard. I have tutored for the past 4-5 years to both college students as well as local Miami high school students. I love working with students because engaging in the process of educating individuals is highly motivational to me and due to that I can't help but motivate my students to learn as well. I believe my experiences have allowed me to become rather successful in tutoring and have taught me how to effectively adapt to various students and how to properly teach them difficult concepts. More so, I have learned how to motivate students who may feel discouraged and have also learned how to create an environment in which the students feels as if they can succeed. Outside of tutoring, I love to exercise, invest in the stock market and learn how to code (I am currently learning Python and R). It is important to realize that in learning, there isn't a single successful way. Rather, each student is unique and their path to success is too.

I have a Masters degree in Industrial Electronics and Computers and a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering from the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. I tutor math for all grade levels up to precalculus. I worked for twelve years as a senior design engineer at the Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Payloads Program before I gave up engineering to home school my five children. Some of the payloads I worked on were Magelan Venus probe, Galileo Jupiter probe, Hubble Space Telescope, Ulysses solar probe, Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, Spacelab, and the International Space Station. Why did I switch to education? To pass on to my children my love for math, science and engineering. I am happy to say I met my goal!I have experience teaching high school math and science in private schools for students who need high level instruction in math and science. I also have experience in direct instruction and coaching competition robotics teams. I love tutoring math because I often find it is an opportunity to turn downtrodden students around and other times I get to enjoy and marvel at an enthusiastic math lover.My tutoring style is collaborative, warm and most of all, encouraging. Whether the student comes to tutoring for remediation or to accelerate, I find he or she benefits from a friendly, non intimidating, supportive demeanor. I often find that students who come to tutoring for math help have met some personal obstacles which can be overcome with persistent optimism.I love ethnic dance, ballet, taking walks, cooking for friends and family, drinking iced coffee and making silly jokes.

I am a 22-year-old medical student. In college, I triple majored in Theoretical Mathematics, Computer Science, and Chemistry.

I am looking forward to tutoring hardworking and motivated students who want to challenge themselves.

Hello! My name is Noah Damiani, and I want to take this opportunity to share a little about myself to give you a better idea of my passions, interests, and work ethic. I am currently finishing the last course of my undergraduate career at the University of Miami, and I plan to graduate with my degree in business economics next semester. I have been accepted to the University of Miami School of Law as I plan to pursue my juris doctorate over the next few years.Throughout my undergraduate and professional career, I have become extremely acquainted with business, namely accounting. I am currently working full-time as an accounting manager at a medical consulting distribution company. I am also quite strong in Mathematics and have expertise in Applied Mathematics (linear regressions), Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, and Analytical number theory (Pre-Calculus and Calculus). I also have a broad background in the natural sciences, including biology. There are a number of other courses that I have expertise in which I would love to share with you if given the opportunity.I have approximately 3 years of tutoring experience. I was apart of a mentorship program in high school in which I was tasked with assisting students who struggled with their curriculum. I have also tutored acquaintances throughout college over the years. I am impassioned in my belief that the institution of education serves a vital role not only in advancing society, but also in the ability to better one's future. That is the main reason that I have taken an appreciation for tutoring. I, myself, have greatly benefitted from getting tutored. And I feel obligated to pass on my knowledge if given the opportunity to do so.My tutoring style is one of structure and practice. While it will depend on the subject being taught, a general tutor session would consist of reviewing short practice problems assigned to students in a previous session to figure out where their weaknesses are and to address them. I would then move onto the next lesson, keeping pace with their school curriculum or whatever study schedule they are on for a standardized exam. I will provide supplementary materials such as practice problems and notes for students to refresh upon later on. I view tutoring as an extension of the classroom, so I plan to teach the material in a way that incorporates similar strategies to those taught in school. In order to ensure students are motivated in reaching their goals of academic success, I always encourage them for their progress. I will never fault or blame a student for their lack of understanding, but I would instead try to figure out where the source of confusion is coming from.Outside of tutoring, work, and school, I am usually taking my dog on walks or going to the beach. Though I like to keep myself busy with my academic and professional life, I still enjoy trying new things and going new places.It is my hope that you were able to get a good idea of who I am, my expertise, and my strategies for tutoring. Thank you for taking the time to read through my statement, and I look forward to working with you!

I've always harbored dual passions for learning and teaching. Growing up in Kansas City, I participated in competitive math and spelling, going on to tutor middle school MathCounts and serve as my younger sibling's spelling bee coach. These experiences cemented my desire to serve as a mentor for others.With a background in higher-level math, I tutored the subject throughout high school while also serving as captain of the varsity tennis team and teaching private tennis lessons on the side. Top ACT and SAT scores earned me a scholarship at the University of Miami, where I was able to develop a newfound love for the fine arts. I am now pursuing a B.S. in computer science as well as a B.A. in studio art, with minors in mathematics and public health. I feel that my artistic practice has shaped my teaching, pushing me to take a creative, non-rigid approach to education -- I believe in working closely with my students to create individualized plans that cater to their specific learning needs.I specialize in tutoring middle/high school math (pre-algebra thru pre-calc) and test prep (SAT, ACT, and PSAT.) I am also comfortable tutoring middle/high school reading, essay writing, vocabulary, and computer science. In my free time, I paint, play tennis, and play synth in a band. I look forward to working with you!
