I love knowledge and learning-- I have spent many years in school and actively pursue new knowledge all the time. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, with a major in Materials Science and Engineering. Through all my years of schooling, I have developed a deep love and understanding for science and mathematics and I enjoy passing on my experience and passion for the subjects through tutoring. I specifically tutor H.S. and AP Biology and any mathematics up to Calculus III, including elementary and middle school math. There is nothing better than teaching how to build on fundamentals and explaining concepts in different ways until it "clicks" in a student's head!Having also taken a litany of standardized tests through my life, I am also available to tutor for the SAT and ACT. I love passing on the little tips and tricks I have learned through the years, not only for the math sections but also the reading and writing portions. As an avid reader in my downtime and having done a lot of critical reading for my scientific career, I have mastered various strategies for analytical reading that I love passing on.In my free time I enjoy reading, running, knitting and crocheting, and playing video games.

I love to teach. I love young minds and fresh brains. Those are just like clean sheets of papers I can draw anything I like. I really like to help young people to achieve their full capacities with my long experience of teaching. I am very patient and good at explaining complex concepts in simple terms. I am looking forward to meeting students who need my help.

I love to teach. Education and learning have always been at the center of my life. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a B.A. in Biological Basis of Behavior. I graduated from Rutgers University with an M.B.A. in Finance. I also have an M.S. in Business Education, from Robert Morris University.I've reaped rich rewards from the opportunities learning has afforded me. After years earning a good living in the business world, I decided it was time to give back. So, I went back to school to become a certified Teacher.I love helping students make abstract concepts concrete. So subjects like Algebra, Geometry, Computer Programming, Finance, Marketing, Economics, in addition to other subjects, have been very fun for me to teach. In turn, I have been amply rewarded day after day by my students, who have taught me so much.My teaching style is built upon a foundation of trust and understanding. My students learn best when they feel confident and can trust that everything will turn out fine. I teach them by connecting their strengths and experiences to the new learning challenge before them. I help them to focus on what they already know as a platform for new learning. I make the uncertainties less threatening and the certainty of success more compelling.

Top professional tutor with over 10 years of tutoring experience and 3 years of classroom teaching experience. I can help any student succeed no matter what parents, teachers, or other tutors say.

I'm a junior at the University of Pennsylvania, working towards my Bachelors in Bioengineering and my Masters in Robotics. I've been tutoring since I was in high school, and especially love to teach math, physics, and programming. In my college courses, I get to use and hone those skills almost every day, while also learning about new learning/teaching styles. In terms of my tutoring style, I think the fastest way to learn and build confidence is through persistent validation and encouragement.

Hi, I'm Sheel, a University of Pennsylvania student studying Health & Societies and Nutrition Science with interests spanning business, healthcare, consulting, and STEM education. I enjoy helping students build confidence, whether that means improving grades, preparing for competitive applications and interviews, strengthening study habits, or breaking down difficult concepts into clear, manageable steps.

I am a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania studying Political Science and Marketing. I would love to help you in anything from ACT/SAT prep to Mandarin!

I am a graduate of Rutgers University, New Brunswick. I double majored in Chemistry and History receiving a BA in both Chemistry and History. I then pursed a Ph. D. in chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania studying the synthesis of Marine Natural Products. After receiving my Ph. D. I proceeded to complete a post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School studying biochemistry. I have worked as a scientist in an agricultural chemistry company and have taught Chemistry and Biochemistry at both the undergraduate and graduate level. I have tutored at both the high school and college level in a wide range of subjects in chemistry including introductory chemistry, life science/nursing chemistry courses, organic chemistry and biological chemistry. I firmly believe that all students can excel in chemistry and that much of the disconnect between the student and material is the abstract nature of chemistry. By using real world examples from everyday life and carefully crafted analogies many principles can be understood. In addition I have worked extensively on academic outreach programs focusing on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and chemistry education in underresprented minorities both at the high school and college level. In my free time I enjoy training for and competing in triathlons, cooking and watching local professional and collegiate sports.

Hi!My name is Liz and I want to work with you!I enjoy teaching and mentoring. I have worked with undergraduate and high school students extensively over the last several years. I believe learning occurs not when a student first hears the information but when they start using the information. Learning takes reflection and practice enhanced through multi-faceted approaches. My role as a tutor is to provide insight and direction to the learning process. After all, not only have I learned the material once but I have also observed multiple people learn the same material. In addition, through my research experience I have implemented the classroom lessons into real life problems.I enjoy incorporating my research into my teaching/tutoring. I can draw from experiences of commonly misunderstood concepts that cannot be gained from a textbook or other interactive learning modules. Not to say there isn't value in those activities because it allows students to learn/review in their dominant learning style. My role as a tutor is to provide the most useful resources and help students build the right tools to eventually master the subject.I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow at UNC Chapel Hill in the School of Pharmacy. I am developing non viral gene therapy systems for treatment of solid tumors. Before this, I earned my PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. There in addition to research I gained an appreciation of nature. I lived near a waterfall and I have hiked several mountains in the Adirondacks! In undergrad, I studied physics at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. I fell in love with the city and physics and math during my 4 years there. I graduated high school from the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science which is a residential public high school in Mississippi and frequently ranked within the top 500 best high schools in the nation.

I am currently working as a Medical Assistant for a dermatologist. I am in the process of applying to medical school. I was a Biology major in college. I love working with people.

Outside of the classroom, I have worked in a reproductive biology lab as well as volunteered in multiple hospital clinics and hope to apply my personal and professional experiences to enhance the academic achievements of my students!

Full-time tutor, former Chemistry graduate student at University of Pennsylvania, BS Chemistry with Math Minor from Rochester Institute of Technology. My philosophy is that students learn best when they can understand why they're learning the material. I aim to help students effectively utilize and seek out tools for learning concepts while also practicing examples and building knowledge of the concepts themselves. I have a passion for mentoring students in chemistry and mathematics and giving them the knowledge and tools they need to comprehensively understand the foundations and applications of the material they're learning and to succeed in their education.

I am originally from New York City and am a student at the University of Pennsylvania studying Political Science, Economics, and Psychology. Having gone through high school and the whole college process within recent memory, I am at the unique intersection of having a very current understanding of the challenges, and of having gained experience and perspective from college. I started tutoring as soon as I had real knowledge to share, which for me was in the eighth grade. In the way a six-year-old might feel an unwavering sense of duty and pride from being charged with returning scissors to the desk, I felt the true significance of the job I had been given. Tutoring has never lost this importance for me and I continue to approach each student with the same level of preparation and commitment as I did all those years ago. As both a nationally-ranked swimmer and a student I learned meticulous organization and time management. I have seen success in my own pursuits and in those of the students I have had the pleasure of working with over the years. I am invested, reliable, and capable. I look forward to meeting you!

Teaching is my blood; both my mother and grandmother were teachers. There's nothing that makes me happier than that 'aha!' moment - when my student understands something he/she would not have without my help.When my sisters and I came home from our school in the Bronx we had to complete 'Mom's homework' after our own schoolwork as a matter of course. 'Mom's homework' was our way into the best private schools in the northeast. My own children - my autistic son and my intellectually gifted daughter - did 'Mom's homework' as well, which enabled them to reach their own intellectual bests.I believe that children have exactly one chance at a good education track. A good tutor can hone skills that might not have been properly nurtured in the usual academic setting.I've been teaching and tutoring in many different situations and I've developed some unique teaching tools that will engage your child and help him/her sharpen the English skills necessary for test taking or general writing.

Vision is the ability to see things as best as they can be. I seek to cultivate the rich potential that is held by each and every student I encounter. My standards of innovation and partnership mirror the qualities that make me a strong educator. When interacting with students, I emphasize perseverance, exploration and advocacy. I believe those values develop proficient, passionate and confident learners. With regard to specific teaching methods, I teach students how to develop strong study habits and strategies, as well skills. I allow students to articulate how they learn best and adjust my teaching methods to fit their needs. Most importantly, I enJOY teaching and strive to making learning a joy to students.As an eager learner myself, one of the things that led to my success as a student was my resourceful nature. I attended Temple University as an undergraduate student, and The University of Pennsylvania as a graduate student, where I earned my Masters of Science in Education. Both universities are in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where I am from. While a student at Temple University, I sat at the Opinion Editor of the Temple News.I currently live the in the Greater New York City area and teach 5th grade mathematics.

Hi there! My name is Kevin and I love helping students make connections and learn to love the subjects I tutor. I started peer tutoring in high school, staying after school to help fellow students with AP Chemistry content before major exams and quizzes. I currently tutor in math (up to AP Calculus BC/Calculus II), chemistry, physics, biology and offer test prep for the SAT and several SAT Subject tests.

I am an English teacher by career, currently taking some time away from the secondary school classroom to complete a master's degree at the University of Pennsylvania. I earned a B.A. in English from the University of Virginia in 2005 and then worked as a newspaper reporter. I began tutoring reading and math part-time, and the progress I saw students make during this one-on-one instruction inspired me to become a teacher. I completed my teacher licensure coursework through Mary Baldwin College and gifted education classes through UVA's Curry School. I taught 8th Grade English for five years and coached students to prepare for standardized tests in reading and writing. Though I love literature, I find it especially fulfilling to help students learn to express themselves through writing. In my personal time, I enjoy reading, traveling, running, and watching a good movie or sports event. I believe tutoring is a great way for students to get individualized instruction without the pressures of a more formal academic environment. As a tutor, I work with students to help them make progress toward their personal goals and gain confidence in their academic abilities.

In addition to being a tutor, I am a working musician. I also enjoy spending time with my family and reading.

I received my degree from the University of Pennsylvania, where I majored in History and minored in Political Science. During my college career I also worked and did extensive community service in the realm of education. This includes volunteering as a debate teacher at a middle school for 4 years, teaching a SAT preparation class to high school students, and creating a 6-month college preparation curriculum that combined standardized test preparation with the college application process.History and logic are huge passions of mine and are my favorite subjects to teach. I am able to offer tutoring in a wide variety of History classes and standardized tests because I have spent the last two years as a high school History teacher for Teach For America, which has made me familiar with teaching practices that translate well into one-on-one instruction. I am also familiar with test-taking strategies and test preparation in the SAT, LSAT, GMAT and AP Exams because I have taken each exam myself and have previous experience tutoring others for those exams.

As a student who has recently graduated from college, I understand what it is like to be in a classroom and be bored. I understand what it is like to be in a classroom and have no idea what is being taught to me. But most importantly, I understand what it is like to be in a classroom and fully grasp what is going on because of teachers who care. When I tutor students, I think back to my experiences in a classroom and strive to be that teacher who cares, that teacher who wants students to be engaged and have fun while also leaving the classroom with full comprehension of the lesson taught.
