4+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of the University of Virginia where I received a BA in History. While in college, I spent time tutoring local elementary school children in math and reading. Additionally, I worked for the university helping student athletes craft and edit papers for history and political science courses. After graduation, I completed a two year post-baccalaureate program in the pre-medical sciences (Bio, Orgo, Gen Chem, Physics). During this program, I continued tutoring students in subjects as diverse as writing, biology, and physics. I also started privately tutoring for the verbal section of the SAT at this time. I love trying to make challenging material more interesting and comprehensible. Any subject can be understood if the material is presented in a manner that a student finds relatable. After my first year of medical school, I spent the summer working as a Gross Anatomy teacher for PA and PT students. This was hands down my favorite job and I became very invested in my students success, often staying far later than required to ensure my students were confident with the material. In addition to teaching, I act as a motivational coach for my students. I am their biggest supporter and will do my very best to help them achieve success. In my spare time, I enjoy playing basketball, lifting weights, reading books and magazine articles, and watching movies.

I am a graduate of the University of Virginia and the University of Colorado. I received my Bachelor of Science in Systems Engineering and my Masters Degree in Computer Science. I have been teaching for over 30 years. I started teaching when I was living overseas with my husband and teaching was one of the few jobs available. I found out that I love teaching, so I continued teaching when we returned to the United States first at the community college level but then at the middle and high school level as I followed my children's progress through school. As a military family we moved 16 times, so I have traveled extensively. Although I have taught a variety of subjects, my passion is computer science. I love working with students, and I feel a great sense of accomplishment when they master new material. I believe living is learning, and I care deeply that my students are successful. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, walking, and spoiling our cat.

I am a graduate of Duke University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Literature and Cultural Theory. I am currently completing my PhD in English Literature at the University of Virginia. My dissertation focuses on 20th Century U.S. Fiction, but I also have a strong interest in African-American literature, film studies, popular culture, and gender theory. At UVa, I have taught literature courses as well as first-year writing seminars, which have focused on topics including the American Dream, Gender and Sexuality, and Borders and Frontiers. My favorite things about teaching writing are working individually with students to help them brainstorm ideas and articulate their point of view in their clearest, strongest voice, and seeing their work become stronger across each draft they revise. When working with students in my literature classes at UVa and the North Carolina Governor's School, I especially enjoy helping students develop strategies for careful, critical reading. My years of teaching and tutoring have led me to the firm belief that literary analysis and clear writing are not mysterious talents that you either have or you don'tinstead, I believe anyone can become a better interpreter of literature and a better writer with practice and encouragement. In my free time, I enjoy walking my dog, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, going to art museums, and catching up on "Game of Thrones" or "Project Runway."

Victor

10+ Years Tutoring

PHILOSOPHY TUTOR Having both a Master's degree and Bachelor's degree in Philosophy, I have taught various courses in the subject in the Baltimore Metropolitan area on a regular basis for the past 30 plus years. These include Introduction to Philosophy, Logic, Critical Thinking, Ethics and Business Ethics. Over the years, teaching these subjects in some of the best Community Colleges in the Nation as well as an HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), I have learned how to tailor my teaching style to meet the needs of students with a great variety of competencies and skill levels. I especially pride myself on my ability to present complex Philosophical theories, positions and arguments in simple straightforward ways that not only hold and engage students' interest but which bring along as many as possible to an adequate understanding of the material in any given course. This ability and nurturing mindset is what I think especially outfits me to be an outstanding tutor.Also, having both assigned and graded well over ten thousand essays and term papers in Philosophy, I can be an invaluable resource in helping new learners plan, structure and write assignments in an area which may at first seem new, opaque and strange.LSAT LOGICAL REASONING, LSAT ANALYTICAL REASONING These sections, which comprise the bulk of the LSAT thus underscoring their relative importance, test the sort of basic reasoning skills taught in even Introductory Logic and Critical Thinking classes like the nature of disagreements, how the addition or subtraction of evidence can affect the relative strength of inductive arguments, analogical reasoning, common deductive argument forms and the ability to accurately draw conclusions from them when they are combined into a set of premises, and common reasoning fallacies occurring in arguments in ordinary language. Having taught the skills which lie behind the reasoning questions on the LSAT, I can quickly assess areas a given candidate needs more work and practice and fill them in on background knowledge they will need to improve their exam performance.ETHICS, MEDICAL ETHICS, BUSINESS ETHICS Students whose moral compass was honed in a particular cultural and/or religious tradition, can often find themselves a bit overwhelmed when in an Ethics course they are not only presented with moral viewpoints compatible with their own background but are also required to master the basics of a number of perspectives in secular ethics which they may not only find to be unfamiliar but even incompatible with their own basic moral beliefs. An experienced Ethics tutor like myself can help them navigate their way through the maze of conflicting ethical traditions they must master a basic knowledge of without losing sight of their own moral stance.ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL SUBJECTS While the bulk of my teaching experience has been involved with teaching adults, my own educational background and caring nature fits me well to tutor younger children in basic math, reading and writing. While a specialist in a Liberal Arts subject, having attended an engineering high school, the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, has given me a strong math and science background, too. This equips me to tutor in these subjects.

I'm excited to be tutoring in English as a foreign language! Last May, in 2023, I graduated from the University of Virginia with a dual Bachelor's Degree in Cognitive Science and Psychology. Specializing my career focus in organizational behavior, I found myself attracted to the domain of learning and development. As I navigated through adult learning principles and eventually, instructional design methodology, I became interested in education and potentially teaching myself. I decided to obtain the 120-hour TEFL certification in order to gain a better idea of how to conduct lessons myself and, using experience from previous experiences, I began online tutoring. I soon realized my passion for teaching was much greater than I could imagine and that is what brought me here to Varsity Tutors! I'm looking forward to meeting you.

My goal is to help students achieve their goal, whether it's to excel in a classroom, or to confidently order in a restaurant.A Brit by birth, I grew up bilingually between London and Cahors, a small town in Southwest France. I attended the local lycee and passed the baccalaureat with high grades. My B.A., from University College London, is in French Language and Literature. I spent a year in Martinique (French West Indies) teaching English in a local middle school. I've worked as a home tutor in a variety of subjects for middle school and high school students in London. I've taught adults too: I brought my passion for, and training in, landscape architecture to the New York Botanical Garden, where I was an instructor in the History of Landscape Design.I find tutoring so worthwhile that I also do it on a volunteer basis: I'm currently teaching English as another language to new Americans. I've been told I'm a good listener, and I believe people learn best in a participative, supportive environment. My experience has been that teaching, done well, is a two-way street: tutor and student learn from each other.My family is still in France (Paris, Rouen, and Cahors), so I return every year. A raging Francophile, I'm usually immersed in French culture, even from across the pond: France Inter is my favorite radio station, and I enjoy contemporary French fiction.

Hello! I'm Julian and I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Virginia. I have been there before. Repeatedly, there are moments where I do not understand a certain subject and I am in need of assistance. Even the most notable scholars need help at some point in their lifetime. For this reason, I'd like to repay the favor and help other students in need. More people than I can count have been there to help me and I would like to do the same with other students. To do this, I will tutor with an engaging and interactive environment. When assisting students, I like to go beyond explicit instructions. I strive for the student to fully understand the processes that we cover so that it sticks in the student's mind more effectively. Subsequently, I believe it is important to continue practicing the content individually. The main goal is to instill long term confidence in the student that surpasses what is being taught.I have two years of tutoring experience through the National Honors Society in which I was apart of. I worked directly with students, covering topics ranging from math to physics and Spanish to ACT test-taking. Typical tutoring sessions were for an hour every day after school.

The ability to express oneself clearly through writing is an invaluable skill both within academia and the professional workforce. I believe it is my job to provide students with the necessary preparation and skills they will need to succeed in a college environment and beyond. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy reading fiction (with a special soft spot for sci-fi/fantasy), running and training for my next marathon, and experimenting with new recipes in my kitchen.

I am a chemistry and environmental science student at the University of Virginia. In high school I completed the IB diploma program and took chemistry, math, english and history at the higher level. I tutor in Middle school math, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, IB Math (HL,SL and Studies), Calculus 1, Calculus 2, IB Chemistry (SL and HL), IB Environmental Systems and Societies, Ecology, and SAT math test prep. I have experience tutoring students in IB courses and non-IB courses. When I tutor I try to lead you to right answer by asking you questions to determine what you already know, clearing up misconceptions, and getting you to think critically about the material. This tutoring strategy is particularly effective for IB exams or application questions that test critical thinking in addition to your mastery of the subject matter.Outside of academics, I've dabbled in most sports. I currently play quidditch at UVA and in high school I played volleyball, basketball and soccer. I am also a fan of science fiction and fantasy novels.

Welcome potential clients! I am a 19 year old student taking a year off from college to explore opportunities in the intersection between art and cognitive studies. I am currently residing in Los Angeles, but traveled from Charlottesville, Virginia where I was studying Cognitive Science and Studio Art at University of Virginia. I am patient, flexible, and love working with students in different subjects, but especially math. I prefer to cater the way I teach a student based on how they learn, whether it be by visuals, repetition, etc. I create methods that are out of the box if a student struggles with the way she/he are learning in school since school tends to teach in a uniform method rather than on an individualized basis.
