Award-Winning Tutors in Mount Lebanon, PA

...have spent a large portion of my life outside of the United States and am fluent in Spanish and currently studying Arabic as well. I was homeschooled for much of my life and loved it, but completed my last three years of high school in a public school and am thus well acquainted with the various forms of standardized testing. When I'm not studying I like singing and theatre, reading, playing the piano, climbing trees...

...as a Twenty-First Century scholar this fall, I am excited to take on my role as a lifelong learner - I know how empowering education and just figuring things out can be. I want to help students learn to love, too, for that precise reason. Be it scoring higher on a standardized test or needing help through a class they are taking, I want to help them understand and have the tools to succeed.

...in Seattle. I received my Bachelors of Arts in Comprehensive Physics. Throughout my physics degree I have obtained an extensive knowledge of high level math and statistics. I joined several study groups and learned the importance of teaching my fellow students in order to gain a more concrete understanding of the material myself. After graduation, I had the opportunity to work for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration collecting data at sea and wrangling data...

...school after my physics teacher asked me to help some of his freshman students. It became an incredibly rewarding experience, for these students that I stuck with for nearly the entire school year were able to boost their grade up and feel more confident in their work. Some of my hobbies include playing tennis, hiking, and watching reruns of "Malcolm in the Middle" (my all-time favorite TV show). Currently, I'm a senior at the University...

I am a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh that majored in BioEngineering on the PreMed track with a minor in chemistry and economics. I have tutored for several years now, ages ranging from 12 year olds to 18 year olds in subjects mainly focusing on math and science.

...writing, I've had a lot of amazing opportunities to work with a lot of different learners. My students have included second graders, freshman science and pre-professional majors, and even professors. As a PhD student constantly thinking and writing about music in literature, I am incredibly aware of the importance of listening. I believe that it is important to listen to what students say and don't say to help them identify their goal and process to...

...have lived my whole life up to this point. I went through grade school, high school, and college all within one mile of each other (all on the same street). Currently, I spend most of my time wandering around the city, learning its ins and outs, as well as reading any book I can carry around town. Working with Varsity Tutors, I hope that I can help students to teach themselves and to find out...

Hi! I'm Kyle, I'm from Pittsburgh, PA and I go to Penn State at the Schreyer Honors College. My favorite subject is math and in high school my favorite activities were FBLA and Forensics Speech and Debate.

...studies, I loved to learn about other cultures, past events, and looking at patterns and continuity in history over time. I also enjoy working within the field of English and communications; strong reading, writing, and editing skills are imperative to be successful in life! Outside of the classroom, hobbies include reading, running, cooking, baking, and yoga. I enjoy being physically active and spending time outside. I am a fervent Penn State fan and enjoy visiting...

...magazines. I've been an exam prep tutor for three years and worked one-on-one with high school students for English classes and writing help. From 2009 to 2010 I taught English to Chinese-speaking students in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. I attended Millsaps College in Jackson, MS, for my undergrad, where I majored in English and anthropology, was president of the English honor society, and graduated cum laude and with honors after defending a year-and-a-half-long research thesis. I earned...
