100% Tutor Satisfaction Guarantee
At Varsity Tutors, we're committed to connecting you to top tutors capable of delivering an outstanding experience. That's why we provide a 100% tutor satisfaction guarantee.
Students at Columbia University can get extra help with their coursework by reaching out to Varsity Tutors to get connected with excellent Columbia tutoring. An experienced Columbia tutor can work with you to help you gain a better understanding of any courses that are proving to be especially challenging for you. We can get you set up with a college tutor at Columbia University in the City of New York that is skilled in courses such as English Composition or Calculus. Working with an expert tutor in these subjects can help you reach for your education goals.
In what ways can a college tutor near me at Columbia University help me study?
There are many benefits to working with a Columbia tutor. One notable benefit is the opportunity to focus solely on your goals. In the classroom, your professor generally has a set curriculum they have to follow and, depending on the size of your classes, they have little additional time to answer everyone's questions. The time frames of each class also offer little flexibility if anyone needs to delve deeper into any of the concepts that are being covered. However, when you work with Columbia University tutoring, you can take the time you need to ask as many questions as you have on the subject and to make sure you have a thorough understanding of each concept before you move on.
Working one-on-one with a Columbia University tutor also gives your instructor the ability to get to know your needs and areas of strength and they can use this information to build customized lesson plans that target your specific academic goals. Your instructor can use different teaching methods, as well, to help you retain information more effectively and stay engaged in your learning. For example, they can use flashcards for a visual learner or discussion-based lessons for an audio learner.
The flexibility that personal Columbia tutoring offers is another excellent advantage. If you progress quickly in any subject, such as chemistry, your lesson plans can adapt to reflect your progress and help you stay moving forward. On the other hand, if you need additional time to go over any concepts more in-depth, you can take the time you need to get a complete understanding of the topic.
Can Columbia University tutoring help me with test prep?
Many students feel overwhelmed at the thought of college exams, whether they be unit tests, midterms, or finals. Working with a Columbia tutor can help you feel better prepared for any tests that are coming up. From reviewing the concepts that can be presented on your test to helpful test-taking strategies, there are many ways that Columbia University tutoring can help.
If you are facing a multiple-choice test, techniques like how to eliminate incorrect answers so you can narrow down your potential choices can be useful. Your instructor can also help you with time-management and focus exercises so you can stay aware of working within any specific time frames on your exams. A Columbia University in the City of New York tutor can also help you learn new and effective ways to study so you can make the most of the time you have to prepare before each exam. These study strategies and techniques, like organization or note-taking, can help you for years to come.
How can I get connected with a college tutor near me at Columbia University in the City of New York?
Fitting in the time to work with a Columbia University tutor doesn't have to seem daunting. We can get you connected with sessions either in-person or online with an experienced instructor that can meet your availability. Online instruction offers even more convenience since you can log in to our Live Learning Platform from wherever you have a stable internet connection, without needing to fit any additional commute into your busy day.
Once you log in to your virtual study session, you will have access resources like video chat, a virtual whiteboard, and a shared document editor. Video chat allows for complete live interaction with your instructor so you can ask questions as they come up and receive helpful feedback in real time. The virtual whiteboard and document sharing helps you share notes with your instructor and work through homework assignments or practice tests together. Each session is recorded, as well, so if you would like to go back and review any of the concepts that were previously covered, you can easily do so in between your regular sessions.
Once you are ready to get started with personal instruction, reach out to us. Our educational consultants are available to answer any questions you may have and to help you get started in finding the right resource for your needs and availability. Contact Varsity Tutors today and you could get connected with a tutor in as little as 24 hours.

Recent Glasgow Tutoring Session Notes
1. Wrote entire homily for Speech class. He paralleled some gospel story to the story of King Arthur. Only the hard copy is due the next day but the student doesn't have speech class (he has Spanish instead) that day.
2. Brought a green folder with brads and pockets. Supervised while the student made the dividers and then checked his Lit binder for all rough drafts that were supposed to be in there.
3. Study pack, Social Studies (most of it was done - he had left only a page's worth of the more reading-intensive work to do).

Today the student and I started with Chemistry and ended with Algebra 2. We did a 2 page worksheet on writing empirical formulas of compounds given a percent composition of the elements present. We then went on to work on his math assignment for the weekend, looking at the transformation of functions when multiplied by a coefficient or translated up/down or right/left. The student understood all of this very well and did many problems on his own. Overall a great session with much improvement and understanding.
