Award-Winning Tutors from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

I am a graduate of Virginia Tech with degrees in Economics and Psychology. I have a passion for learning - whether it entails academics or understanding more about the people around me - and I believe that this passion drives me to help others learn as well. While I realize that not everyone will share my natural enthusiasm for economics, psychology, or history, I am confident that I can utilize my knowledge and love of these subjects to bring them to you in a manner that is accessible, engaging, and stress-free.

I am currently pursuing a degree in Chemical Engineering and Spanish at Virginia Tech. I have a strong academic record in my fields. I enjoy sharing knowledge and helping others overcome learning challenges. Through previous tutoring, I have developed excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills. I am comfortable using online learning technologies and am committed to providing engaging, supportive lessons that help students reach their full potential.

I just received my PhD in Geospatial and Environmental Analysis from Virginia Tech. My undergraduate degree was in Biology and Geography. Since graduation, I work as a scientist in environmental conservation. During grad school, I worked as a teaching assistant for college level geography and forestry courses. I was also a guest teacher in a middle school science class as part of a science literacy fellowship and enjoyed creating innovative lesson plans to engage students beyond a lecture hall. I am a firm believer in education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for fostering the next generation of informed critical thinkers. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Ecology, Biology and Environmental Science. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, rock climbing, biking and gardening.

I am passionate about helping students learn math and believe that anyone willing to put in the time and effort can be successful at it. I recently received my BS in Statistics from Virginia Tech, where I spent a lot of time tutoring students in various math and statistics classes. I got my MS in Statistics from the University of Illinois where I worked as a TA for different stats classes. Currently I tutor, do freelance data analysis and work at a math learning center.

I am a veteran teacher who has been in the field for over 20 years. I truly believe in what I do and I love teaching very much. I have a variety of tools and experiences that allow me to help students become better readers through individualizing and personalizing to meet the students needs.

I have a degree in Economics from Virginia Tech. I first started tutoring when I was in college at Virginia Tech with elementary aged students. I worked with them in their after school program through my service organization. Later on while still in college I began to mentor high school students through the Upward Bound program which helps students in their goal to be accepted in to college. I would meet with my assigned high school students once a month in order to answer any questions they might have and to continue their individual progression during their junior and senior years of high school as well as assist in their application process for college. Finally, after achieving an A in Micro Economic Theory I was asked to tutor fellow college students in Economics by my professor, which I agreed to do during my Senior year in college. I have plenty of experience helping students from elementary school right through to college students.While in college I also coached a middle school recreational basketball team in local Christiansburg, VA. It was a great experience and I was able to teach the student athletes a great deal about the game of basketball. I also stepped up to help coach The Woodland Park travel middle school team in 2013 - 2014 when my town was in need of assistant coaches. I have learned a great deal through these experiences including how to motivate and get the best out of student athletes on the court.I like to golf, play tennis, hike, and be outdoors in my spare time. I am currently working full time at North Jersey Media Group and will be starting my second degree in Accounting this fall at Ramapo College.

Recent graduate from Virginia Tech with a Bachelors in Science. Currently taking classes to apply for graduate school in Engineering.I tutor in all math subjects from elementary math to advanced college courses such as multivariable calculus and differential equations.Having earned 800/800 in SAT math, 162/170 in GRE Quantitative, and 760/800 in SAT II for math, I am confident that I can help raise your exam scores and improve your overall test-taking abilities.

I graduated from Virginia Tech in 2014 with a B.Sc. in Wildlife Science and a minor in theater. Through my major's professional society, I taught in Virginia schools at a variety of age levels, from elementary to high school. All lesson plans I created (in subjects like geology, oceanography, evolution, etc.) adhered to "Standards Of Learning" set by the state of Virginia. Since graduating I have been an interpretive naturalist at Croydon Creek Nature Center in Rockville, MD, a teaching fellow at the New York Aquarium in Brooklyn, NY, and now I work within the Education Department at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan, NY. Given my background in the natural sciences, my favorite subjects to teach include environmental science, ecology, and biology. What I love about teaching is making seemingly difficult concepts easy to comprehend by applying them to real world scenarios. I firmly believe that all students can thrive when lessons are tailored to their learning styles. When my students succeed, I succeed. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, wildlife watching, and a good sci-fi movie.

Hello. My name is Mrs. Lisa. I have been teaching for 18 years. I have homeschooled my own children and am presently a teacher in the homeschool classroom setting.

I graduated from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in the Fall of 2019 with a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Engineering. I am also currently studying at the University of Arizona pursuing a Master's of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering. In addition to my studies, I am currently employed full time as a systems engineer for General Dynamics Mission Systems. Throughout my studies and professional career, I have developed a passion for helping motivate and teach those around me, and by tutoring I get to exercise that passion. It is incredibly fulfilling and important to me to be a resource for anyone I may be able to help become the best they can be. While working with anyone I greatly value getting to know one another as individuals to better understand motivations, strengths, areas for improvement, and learning styles to be able to find the best path to success. In terms of teaching, I specialize in computer science and computer engineering subjects. I am well versed in subject stemming from high level programming to low level logic and circuit design. I am also experienced with supporting STEM subjects such as mathematics, physics, and electronics. Outside of the scholastic world and my workplace, I enjoy spending time playing videogames, woodworking, exploring the outdoors, and generally learning about and exploring the world around me.

I love to share my passion for learning and strongly believe that everyone can reach their goals when provided instruction based on personal needs, building strong foundations of concepts, and effectively using resources. My favorite part of my day is seeing a student's "aha" moment and I'm very excited for the opportunity to help others outside of the classroom experience those moments as well!I am currently a full-time teacher, certified to teach elementary education and also have a bachelor's degree in mathematics. Outside of teaching and tutoring, I enjoy running, hiking with my dog, visiting used bookstores, and food!

I like helping people understand chemistry. I have Bachelor's and Master's degrees in chemistry. I have 1 year of experience peer tutoring other undergraduate students in chemistry, calculus, and biology while at Penn State, and I have 3 years of experience teaching ochem labs as a graduate student while at Virginia tech. Teaching included pre-lab lecture, supervision of students working in lab, grading student's assignments, and helping students understand course material outside of class. My time working with students has helped me understand how different individuals attempt to learn complex material differently and try to find new ways to help them understand chemistry and other complex topics.

I just graduated from veterinary school and am ready to help you learn! I got a degree in animal science from Virginia Tech, a master's in animal biotechnology and biomedical science from the University of Massachusetts, and attended veterinary school at Kansas State University. I have worked with students from age 2-18, and have studied a lot with other people during my college education. This has really given me insight as to how to study -- how to study a large volume of information in a short time frame, how to retain that information, and how different people learn that information. I would be a good tutor for the VTNE, veterinary-related subjects, and can also assist with other biological science subjects.

I graduated from Virginia Tech with a Bachelors in Science and went on to get my DPT at the University of Southern California.I have experience tutoring students in both a formal setting as well as a clinical setting, via being a clinical instructor for physical therapist students.I passed the NPTE on my first try and know from first hand experience what a stressful and nerve wracking time it can be. My tutors/mentors really helped me feel more prepared, knowledgeable, and empowered to take the test confidently, and that is why I am motivated to do the same for my students!

"Believe you can and you're halfway there." -Theodore Roosevelt.Belief in one's self is needed to perform well in any area of life along with practice, patience, and perseverance. These virtues allow individuals to rise to any challenge and to perform at their highest potential. I enjoy inspiring students to be their best and to show them learning can be fun. Watching students gain confidence and become independent learners is my greatest reward as a teacher.

I love to be helpful to people, and I love to help students improve their performance in classes and on tests. I have an excellent track record of strong performances in graded classes and on standardized tests. I am confident that I can help any student take their performance to the next level in any of several academic subject areas, especially math and chemistry, and on standardized tests.

Hello! I recently completed my BA in Economics with a minor in Mathematics from Virginia Tech. On my downtime, I tutor math, and I have experience tutoring pre-algebra to calculus and beyond. I also tutor for the SAT/ACT/GRE. My hobbies include playing soccer, hiking, and reading; and from time to time, I dabble in learning the piano, although I am not very good at it. Looking forward to working with you!

I am physics major from Virginia Tech, class of 2015. I have been involved with sports for my whole life and am really into weight lifting and playing basketball. While studying at Virginia Tech, I have volunteered with Special Olympics, the American Cancer Society, Alzheimer's Association, and various other service initiatives. During the Summer of 2013, I studied Irish politics and culture at Queen's University Belfast on a scholarship from the Fulbright Commission. My favorite subjects to tutor are physics and calculus. I am familiar with the struggles that students often have in understanding a topic and am able to diagnose how much explanation is needed in order to help the student understand it in their own way. To me, being able to say it in your own words is the most important part of internalizing the subject.

I am a student of Architecture completing my Bachelor's degree at Virginia Tech. For as long as I can remember I have loved helping younger students master subjects I enjoy. One of my greatest pleasures is helping find that special something in the topic at hand that ignites a passion in the student's eyes, where they gain a connection with the material that will nourish their study for years to come. Teaching math and music have always been strong points for me, but language is my greatest focus. Having self-taught Spanish in high school, I'm bilingual and have had the privilege of volunteering on multiple occasions as a translator for groups traveling to Latin America. When it comes to the SATs, a lot of students become incredibly overwhelmed, but from my experience, with some help and effective practice, anyone can navigate them successfully, and to the best of their ability. Whenever I'm free and the weather's good, all I need is a rugged trail or a soccer ball and some competition to challenge me. However, when Pittsburgh is its dreary, rainy self, you can find me in front of a good book or blank canvas accompanied by a warm cup of tea.

I just graduated from Virginia Tech in May of 2015 with a bachelor's of science in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research. I was accepted into a PhD program at UC Berkeley in the same field with one of the most prestigious fellowships given to entering doctoral students. After moving to Berkeley and spending a few months in the program, I decided to take a leave and re-evaluate what I would like to do moving forward. The culture of the department was very cold, competitive, and un-supportive, and they only really valued my math skills rather than all of the other aspects of my identity. I have many other passions, including dance, theatre, drawing, teaching, cooking, and my work as an activist is very important to me. During my leave from school, I will be pursuing those passions while I decide where to go next.I started tutoring in high school as a swim instructor and Spanish tutor. Then, in college, I really found my love for teaching. For my last two years, I tutored individuals and well as groups and classes in theoretical statistics, probabilistic operations research, and statistical quality control. The feedback I got from those experiences was incredible and many students told me how much more confident in the material they were, how much easier the material seemed, and how grateful they were that they would now get through the class successfully. I had so much success as a tutor in college that a lady who worked in the main office of my department contacted me for algebra tutoring sessions because she was going back to school to get a degree, and she ended up getting an A in the class!I am qualified to tutor all levels of algebra and calculus because I use these subjects in my studies on a daily basis. I have gone far beyond high school level in both subjects; taking classes like multi-variable calculus and abstract linear algebra. When I was in high school, I got the highest possible grade (5) on the AP Calculus AB exam, and I was awarded the department of mathematics award given to only one student in my graduating class. I graduated salutatorian. I am young and fresh out of college so I can relate to your student and the material is fresh in my mind! I am very outgoing and like to make my sessions as fun and enjoyable as possible.

I am a nationally certified vascular surgery physician assistant. I received my masters in medical science from Arcadia University. I attended Virginia Tech for my bachelors in biological sciences with a minor in chemistry where I graduated with honors. I started tutoring when I was in high school, which showed me how much I loved helping others succeed academically! I was a TA for general chemistry for 3 out of 4 years during my undergrad. I've tutored many students of all different types of learning styles throughout my academic career. I have been very successful in improving not just all of my students grades, but also their comprehension of the topics. I pride myself on developing good rapport with my students, allowing us to work as a team. Im very passionate about medical science, and I love helping students break down these difficult subjects!

I also focused my upper-level studies around business law and taxation. Throughout my schooling I was a mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters where I tutored students of all grade levels. I have experience tutoring Essay Composition and Grammatical Editing, Economics, LSAT Prep, and multiple other topics. My hobbies include reading, fishing, swimming, and anything else on the water.

I am an incoming Aerospace Engineering sophomore at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. I am seeking a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering with the hope of continuing my education as a Master of Science prospect. I've gained tutoring experience during my senior year of high school as a member of the National Honors Society. I was provided various opportunities to teach a broad range of K-12 subjects and expedite students' problem-solving approaches. Although, my expertise is more STEM-oriented towards engineering fundamentals, calculus, physics, and various STEM-related topics. I've been proven flexible to tutor various subjects while integrating creative lessons for greater understanding. I've initiated a public speaking program called "Eloquence Speaking Program" to help students overcome the universal fear of publicly speaking and develop their interpersonal competencies. I loved working with students of all ages, because everyone is unique in their own way. My goal is to reinforce students' strengths and address their weaknesses. Education is a broad spectrum, and there shouldn't be one way of developing an understanding for a certain subject. I believe each student should be accommodated and taught differently to best reap the benefits.

I am a sociology professor with well over two decades of fulltime higher education experience. I was born and raised in the Upper Midwest, 13th of 14 children in a family of educators going back several generations. I graduated from Northland College of Wisconsin with a Sociology major and a minor in Native American Studies. I completed a doctorate in Sociology at Virginia Tech 6-1/2 years later.The primary focus in my professional life has been teaching. As a sociology professor, I have worked with students to help them master the major concepts and knowledge of the field and to draw out the importance of what they are learning for their lives as individuals and members of the community. I have taught in a wide variety of learning environments and have demonstrated an ability to work effectively with diverse student populations.I have a very broad teaching background that includes most areas of sociology and a few related social science areas. I have taught Introductory Sociology, Racial and Ethnic Minority Groups, Social Theory, Research Methods, Sociology of the Family, Medical Sociology, Native American Cultures, Contemporary Cultural Issues, Deviance and Criminology, Social Welfare Issues and Policy, Sociology of Religion, Social Problems, Freshman Seminar and many others.I recognise the tremendous value in developing writing skills and acquiring a general mastery of the English language. At Virginia Tech, I participated in the first project of its kind nationally to bring essay writing into very large freshman general education classes; in our case, Introductory Sociology. As a professor, I have been involved in Writing Across the Curriculum and have made writing an important component of my sociology classes.

I lived and worked in Germany for 20 years. I married a German man, and we had 3 beautiful children in Frankfurt. I worked for well known German corporations and had the wonderful opportunity to live and work within the German culture and language. I worked with Berlitz language school for a few years and learned valuable teaching skills specifically designed to teach students of all ages to learn a second language. I loved that job!! It provided me a rich experience that I was then able to bring with me into following companies. Would like the opportunity to share that once again.

I hope to work in the International Development field in order to help people get out of poverty. I love learning, and I also love helping other people learn! I specialize in microeconomics and standardized testing. I am patient and tailor the tutoring experience to suit your personality and needs.

Hola! Bonjour! Hi, everyone! I really enjoying tutoring, and can't wait to meet my next students. It's always an adventure for me (and I hope for you, too)!Allow me to introduce myself. I am the mother of two homeschooled boys who are now grown men. I guess I didn't do too badly, because one went on to graduate from William & Mary and the other is a first responder, a helicopter pilot, and now a dad! Of course I am thrilled to get a chance to help teach the next generation...About me: I am an Army brat, so I had the opportunity to live in different countries (Africa and Europe) and learn different languages along the way. I have a degree in Animal Science, which means I learned a lot of science in college (and I can milk a cow)! I worked in research for a few years as an electron microscopist, and even did some work for Dr. Anthony Fauci!My particular strength is writing. I have published in research journals, written movie screenplays, and now am writing my first book. My regular students get plenty of chances to write, sing (my mom was a music teacher)--we've even been know to dance the Macarena on occasion. When I tutor younger folk, I try to find their interests and build our curriculum around things that they enjoy. Of course with older students we often have to hunker down and work on actual school projects, but I still like to keep it interesting. Best of luck to everyone, and let me know if I can be of help!

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Journalism from Virginia Tech. I am planning on attaining a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. In my time at Virginia Tech, I was a member of the Virginia Tech Literacy Corps, who provided tutoring in Math, Reading and Writing to low-income schools in the rural Appalachian area.As I hold a degree in English, I focus on reading and writing - but like to teach writing the most. There's something about telling a good story that I've always found exciting.My teaching philosophy is simple: all human beings have a natural curiosity, a desire to learn. I simply look for the best way to unlock that curiosity in each student. I believe that a Teacher being passionate about a subject and instilling that same passion in their students, is what makes them both successful. I try to make each session as fun and exciting as possible for my students.I enjoy singing and am currently recording an album with a record label in Richmond, Va. I also write poetry and short fiction. I read an inordinate amount of books.

Hey all! My name is Anmol and I'm currently a junior studying Computer Science at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.I have been tutoring for the last 6 years and enjoy it very much :)

I know what it is to struggle academically through personal experience I truly believe that it just takes a little bit of practice, as well as a new teaching perspective. I use this experience to better help my students reach their educational goals.

I'm passionate about helping students build strong academic foundations through personalized, confidence-boosting instruction. With degrees in Psychology and Human Development, 8 years of Marine Corps experience, and hands-on work with special needs learners, I adapt lessons to fit each student's learning style. My approach is meeting students where they are. My goal is to create independent thinkers who enjoy learning and achieve long-term success.

Hi there!My name is Madeleine and I am currently pursuing a PHd in Geophysics; more specifically remotes sensing in an archaeological context. Much of what I study involves physical science and advanced math, so my background in these subjects is very strong. I also used to work as a peer tutor for Virginia Tech during my undergrad with level 3 CRLA certifications, which has provided me with a lot of experience tutoring in these subjects as well.I aim to help students not just learn about a topic of study, but also how to problem solve so that they eventually no longer require my services.I look forward to helping you!

I struggled with learning disabilities though out school and understand how defeated students can feel. Mathematics requires multiple skills. The challenge for me, as the tutor, is to help the student learn in a way that works best for them and to support them in areas of difficulty. Watching students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities is the reason I tutor. I enjoy figuring out what each student needs and an approach that works for them.I have experience teaching both children and adults. I have done substitute teaching with all age levels. I was the youth coordinator for a teen youth group and tutored adults at Community College of Philadelphia. I am also the mother of three school aged children and received a degree in Forestry and Wildlife from Virginia Tech. More recently, I have completed the required course work for an Associates Degree in education from Camden County College. I am comfortable tutoring basic math skills, up through Algebra.

Hey, I'm Tyler! I'm a senior at Virginia Tech studying finance and international business. I currently hold a 3.81 GPA and can't wait to help you succeed in your classes!
