I believe all students start at different levels and can achieve their goal with help. I am here to be that tutor/coach to help you get to the next stage. I am also available for students with learning disabilities including ADHD and/or those struggling with performance anxiety, etc.

I've been an educator for over 30 years, high school and college, and I teach Spanish, French, English, and Photography at Varsity Tutors. I am a Vanderbilt graduate and I earned my master's degree at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (Texas). I love working with words and I'm really good at explaining language structure. My love of languages naturally led me to travel the world, and I have been a practicing art and travel photographer for over 30 years. I can help you get started with your digital camera and have you taking professional-level pictures in no time!

I am a graduate of Augustana College, where I received a Bachelor's degree, as well as Northwestern University, where I received a Master's of Science. After graduation, I worked as a research assistant at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. I have had experience in tutoring college-aged and adult students in the fields of research methods, Philosophy of Mind, and writing. I have also given informal instruction to friends with regards to math, coding, and preparation for standardized tests. I am especially interested in tutoring for Python coding, math, and test prep. As a self-taught coder, I am especially excited to see other people succeed in the field of Python. As somebody who had to learn to love math, I am excited to see students understand the workings of mathematics. Finally, as somebody who has been taking standardized tests since grade school, I enjoy helping others understand the workings of standardized tests and the skills (both academic and personal) needed to succeed at them. My teaching approach emphasizes flexibility and empathy; I firmly believe that there are always multiple ways of reaching the same solution, and I recognize that students may have different educational foundations. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, coding, and re-learning how to play the piano.

I am a proud graduate of Williams College (Go Ephs!). I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biology and English, with a Concentration in Neuroscience. After graduation, I joined the world of play and enjoyed two amazing years with The LEGO Group. My time with LEGO inspired me to bring fun and engaging educational opportunities to children, especially those with special needs. This led me to pursue substitute teaching and ultimately to become a full time teacher. I received my Master of Science in Secondary Math Education from Johns Hopkins University and have been a Secondary Special Education teacher in Texas for four years. Although I teach all four core subjects, I am most passionate about making Math and Science engaging and relevant for middle school and high school students. I love working with students with diverse learning needs and I'm comfortable modifying the content to meet each person at their personal starting point. I set high expectations and leverage explicit instruction in organizational skills, study skills, vocational skills, and financial literacy to help our students prepare for standardized tests, college, and their careers. In my spare time, I am an avid reader of thrillers, graphic novels, and comic books, a painter, a writer, and a runner.

Fueled by a genuine passion for education and a mission to make a positive impact on the world, I find immense fulfillment in guiding students on their academic journeys. With a foundation in Social Sciences from Harvard University, a Master's in Human Rights and Democratisation, a background in LSAT preparation and classroom teaching, my approach is personalized to each student and their unique learning style. The LSAT stands out as my favorite subject to tutor due to its complexity and the deep appreciation I've developed for the skills it cultivates. Tutoring this subject allows me to share my fascination with its intricacies and the balanced approach it requires of combining analytical precision with the psychological resilience to overcome time pressures and anxiety. Additionally, I enjoy tutoring languages (German, French) and English writing, focusing on empowering students to express themselves effectively. Education is more than attaining knowledge; it's about fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and confidence. As a tutor, my goal is to inspire and equip students to pursue their passions with dedication, shaping their journey of lifelong learning.

I'm a mechanical engineer, educated at MIT and Stanford. Previously, I have worked as a design engineer in the medical device design field. I like being able to help someone figure out how to make something work--to help them accomplish something they're struggling with. I love the 'I get it now' moment that comes from when a tutoring session has been successful.

I am a science writer and podcaster with a rigorous academic background who is passionate about sharing my knowledge of chemistry with curious minds. I earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry and Asian art history from UC Berkeley and completed a PhD in inorganic chemistry at MIT. I have five years of experience teaching college-level general and organic chemistry courses at various institutions in California, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas, and hope to expand on my experience as a private tutor. Often a required subject for other classes, chemistry is often considered "the central science" as it's related to biology and physics, and I appreciate that chemical principles can be observed throughout daily life from cooking to medicine to electronics. I believe that education is the world's greatest social equalizer and hope that my students learn to make new connections between classes and other aspects of their life. Outside of science, I love dogs, food, and the outdoors.

I am a graduate of Rice University with a Bachelor of Science in Physics, a Bachelors of Arts in Philosophy, and a minor in Neuroscience. My previous tutoring experiences have primarily focused on college level physics, math, and chemistry; AP Calculus, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry; the ACT and SAT college entrance exams; general mathematics at the high school level; and middle school level math and english for state standardized testing. Additionally, I have experience working with students with learning differences including dyslexia, ADHD, and ASD. As someone who loves learning, I am a firm believer in making our meetings enjoyable as well as educational. STEM subjects in particular have the reputation for being boring and complicated, but I love that as a tutor I can help students make sense of the topics and find the fun!

I am a 2020 graduate of Rice University and currently in my final year of Medical School. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I've found that one of the most rewarding parts of education is helping others reach their potential. I've worked with students across many stages, from high schoolers preparing for the SAT/ACT, to applicants refining personal statements for college and medical school, to medical students tackling board exams. In each of these settings, my goal remains the same: to help students not just learn material but learn how to learn. My teaching philosophy is built on the belief that success doesn't depend on being naturally gifted, it comes from consistency, structure, and a willingness to improve. I work with students to develop individualized study plans, set achievable milestones, and build momentum. I focus on helping students become confident learners who can approach problems with clarity and strategy. Especially in standardized test prep, I emphasize the importance of going into each question with a plan of attack. Whether it's reading comprehension, a science passage, or a medical vignette, I teach students how to prioritize information, filter out distractions, and apply what they know efficiently. Test-taking is a skill, and through consistent practice, students can go from feeling overwhelmed to feeling in control. I'm especially passionate about tutoring subjects that require strategic thinking, like exam prep, because it allows me to show students how much of academic success is not about memorizing facts, but about mastering the process. My ultimate goal is to help students become independent, confident thinkers who can take these skills beyond any one test or class.

Applied knowledge is wisdom. One exam doesn't determine your future. You can always perform better next time or find a field that aligns with your strengths
