I am a graduate of a school in northwest Pennsylvania with a degree in Biochemistry & Piano Performance and plan on attending Medical School in the near future. In my four years there, I was selected by the department chairs to be the designated tutor for Mathematics (Precalculus to Calculus 3), Organic and General Chemistry, Biology (Cellular, Molecular, Developmental, and Genetics), and Physics, each for minimum of one year. The reason I agreed to tutor again and again each year they approached me is because I simply loved it. It is hard to describe the wonderful feeling of seeing a student you helped master the material in front of you and run through problems like they're nothing. My favorite question since childhood has been "why?". I was never a fan of just memorizing facts, because not only do you not really understand the material, but you are likely to forget it. That principle has transitioned over to my tutoring style. We start from the most basic, simplest core of the concept. Once we understand that, we slowly work our way up until you understand even the most difficult concepts..soon you're able to tell me the reason for every variable in the Schrdinger equation. Sometimes my students also develop a passion for knowing why and I love it. I'm not a tutor automaton though; my other hobbies/passions include piano, weight lifting, classical music (and concerts), composition, and environmental activism. In addition to tutoring, I've spent time in my institution as the head of research regarding nuclear import receptors via the genetic engineering of yeast to express the human AR receptor and the transformation and construction of plasmids.

I graduated from Xavier University in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science in Sports Medicine/Athletic Training. In 1998, I earned my Master of Physical Therapy from Allegheny University of the Health Sciences. After working as a physical therapist for several years, I continued practicing and earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2014. I have been a clinical instructor to numerous physical therapy students. In addition, I taught Therapeutic Exercise and Therapeutic Modalities & Pharmacology as an adjunct professor for athletic training students. Because I had experience in opening two physical therapy clinics for a hospital employer and a private practice employer, I decided to utilize that experience to open my own independent physical therapy practice in 2015. After earning my NASM Personal Training Certification and pursuing specializations in Fitness Nutrition and Corrective Exercise, I closed my physical therapy practice in 2021 to focus on my current wellness business. I have passed the NATA-BOC, NATA, NASM-CPT, NASM-FNS, and NASM-CES exams on the first attempt. I know how to prepare, study, and pass professional exams! I currently assist with coaching a USATF XC & Track team; however, I miss teaching academically. I am excited to join the Varsity Tutor platform to teach and mentor students who are interested in athletic training, physical therapy, personal training, and nutrition. I am a gym-rat and an endurance junkie! I workout almost 2 hour every day because I love how exercise increases my energy. I believe my experience across the medical-fitness industry will provide students with great insight into both academic and real-world learning.

I appreciate the opportunity to learn and it is always good to pass on what I have been taught as well. I'm happy to help anyone who wants my help and who genuinely wants to learn a different language.Learning and speaking a different languages opens not just doors of opportunities, but it teaches you about a new culture and a completely different world than the one what we really live in presently. It opens your mind to other possibilities and possibly new explorations and adventures whether it's trying new foods, or taking a trip to a place you wouldn't have previously.

I recently retired from a 35+ year finance career working as an analyst and in project management. Upon further reflection, I prefer to call this next phase of my life as a repurposing rather than a retirement. I have a Bachelor of Arts in International Economics from Allegheny College and am a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charterholder. I am currently volunteering in the Adult Literacy program at the Brooklyn Public Library in Brooklyn, NY where I tutor sections in English, math, and financial literacy. I have found great satisfaction in assisting others in developing their skills in these areas. In addition to tutoring in the above literacy subjects, I also have strong Microsoft Excel skills developed throughout my finance career and supplemented by outside course work. This background gives me the ability to customize student training in specific areas that would best meet the student's needs. My teaching style is to take the subject matter, break it down into digestible and logical parts and then provide relevant examples or application of the material so that the student can better understand the concepts. Also, my consideration and understanding of the student's desired outcome from the tutoring sessions is critical to their success. My initial experience teaching began with coaching youth travel team basketball. Basketball can be a somewhat complex sport. It can be challenging to explain the different offensive and defensive concepts to young players while at the same time keeping the game fun and engaging. Some of my most rewarding and valuable experiences were with players who initially struggled but were then able to incorporate what they learned in practice and translate that to their play on the court. In addition, over the course of my finance career, I have coached and mentored many colleagues in the finance profession. I view the opportunity to tutor students as a continuation of these prior teaching-learning experiences, and I aim to bring out the best in a student's learning process.

I recently graduated from Allegheny College in Meadville, PA, where I majored in international studies and French. In college, I loved studying foreign cultures, politics, and economics, and was fortunate enough to spend one semester each in France and Ecuador. I began working as a tutor and teaching assistant at Allegheny, and spent the 2011-12 school year teaching English in a French public high school.Due to my studies and experiences, my best subjects are Spanish, French, government, and economics. I love to discuss and help students understand these subjects. As a student of these subjects myself, I can help others understand the challenges and difficulties they face, and help them create step-by-step solutions to these problems. I believe that with a little bit of patience and will, all students can build the skills they need to succeed in foreign language and the social sciences.

I am a graduate of Allegheny College, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and minored in English. I am currently enrolled at the City University of New York, where I am working as a graduate student for a PhD in biochemistry. I mostly tutor science and math, both of which I enjoy thoroughly. My goal as a tutor is to help my students in understanding and gaining interest in the subjects instead of pure memorization. In my spare time I enjoy ice hockey, skiing, and mountain biking.

Passionate about delivering software that solves business or social problems, in addition to I am dedicated to helping others succeed through education.

I graduated from Allegheny College with a BS in Chemistry last Spring. I am very passionate about chemistry and will begin working for my PhD this fall at the University of Maryland. In the meantime, I am excited to be back in Manhattan to tutor students in chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics. I have had a love for math and science for a long time and believe that the problem solving skills needed to crack these subjects are critical for students looking to be successful in whatever field they choose to pursue. For this reason, I push my students to not only master the material, but also teach strategies to recognize problem structures that will help them tackle new material in the future. In my spare time I enjoy playing soccer and traveling. I have spent a good deal of time in South America and am always looking for excuses to return. I truly enjoyed tutoring students in chemistry during college, but as a graduate of Beacon High School in Manhattan I am excited to be back in the City and working with New York's next round of science and math enthusiasts.

I love teaching students the beauty of mathematics and science! For the past five years, I've tutored students at the high school and college level. Subjects taught include Chemistry, Physics, Calculus, Trigonometry, Algebra 1/2, Pre-Algebra, Pre-Calculus and SAT Math Prep. I'm eager to help you succeed!

I am a Garifuna American from the Bronx, NYC. I graduated from Allegheny College in 2014 with a dual degree in Psychology and Spanish. I am currently a PhD track graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin in the Spanish and Portuguese department. My focus is on women and their identity formation on the Caribbean coast of Guatemala. I have had experience preparing lessons, editing papers, and teaching college student as a Teacher assistant. I love the idea of tutoring because I get to interact one on one with students. I hope that students learn as much as they can from my lesson and hopefully I learn from them as well. I see tutoring as a give and take between the student and tutor.I focus on the oral history and traditions aspect of anthropology along with aspect of ethnography. My job will be to guide you through the reading and understanding of the work researchers do in various communities. There will be key vocabulary words and concepts that might require further independent research if the student is interested.I have been studying Spanish for seven years now. If the student wishes we can focus on different aspects such as grammar, literature, writing, reading, speaking and or listening. I will leave it up to the student to decide where they think they need more help. I am happy to do a little of everything as well.

I'm passionate about helping students reach their goals because I believe every student has the potential to succeed. I have six years of experience working with students in various settings, from an environmental education camp in northwest Pennsylvania to a bilingual school in Costa Rica. Most recently, I was a teaching assistant for undergraduate journalism classes at Arizona State University from August 2015 to May 2017. I also served as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic from 2012 to 2015. While I was there, I taught environmental education courses, helped coach a volleyball team, and taught an entrepreneurship course.I earned a master's degree in journalism from Arizona State University in May 2017. I attained a bachelor's degree in environmental science, with a minor in Spanish, from Allegheny College in Pennsylvania. I would love to tutor students in Spanish or environmental science -- some of my favorite subjects. I've spent more than four years living in Spanish-speaking countries and I love opportunities to help other people learn Spanish.Outside of academia, I enjoy outdoor activities such as running and hiking. I'm also an avid reader and I love to cook.

I am a great tutor because I am very personable and adept at helping explain concepts via analogy and demonstration. Additionally, I am proficient in a wide range of subjects. Finally, I enjoy teaching and take great joy in helping others learn.
