My name is Hongjin, and I'm a Biological engineering and Computer Engineering student at Cornell University with a strong background in mathematics, biology, and problem-solving. I enjoy breaking down complex ideas into clear, intuitive steps and helping students build confidence in subjects that can sometimes feel overwhelming.

I have always loved to teach students! As a certified special education and general education teacher, with a Master of Arts in Teaching, I have been able to work in public schools to address the differentiated needs of elementary education students. Working one on one in tutoring sessions enables me to hone in on particular needs of my students, at different grades and levels. Sometimes, content or format modifications are required. Other times, delivery of instruction or positive reinforcement pertaining to confidence and motivation is needed. Input from family members and students is helpful to the learning process. Ultimately, the joy of current learning and motivation to learn in the future is of essence.

I am a recent graduate of Cornell University, where I acquired a B.S. and M.Eng in Electrical and Computer Engineering and a minor in Computer Science. I've enjoyed assisting in education for as long as I can remember (cheesy, I know); I loved being a little "teacher's assistant" at my grandmother's preschool in Guatemala as a child. I tutored my peers a little bit in high school. While at university, I was a teaching assistant for Intro Digital Logic for 6 semesters, where I was energized by guiding students to the a-ha moments that led me to pursue a career in computer architecture.I am happy to tutor Computer Engineering and Programming principles in Python, C, and Verilog. I can also teach conversational Spanish or ESL, for I am fluent in Spanish and English.Outside of my current professional work at AMD, I like to stay active by lifting and swimming, try different foods, and go to coffee shops to read or work on side programming projects.

Hi, I'm Frankie! I have recently earned degrees in both Math and Physics from Cornell University. Prior to joining Varsity Tutors, I worked as both a Math Course Assistant and as an SAT Math Tutor. In addition to working with students, I'm also currently conducting Applied Math Research for the National Science Foundation at Pennsylvania State University. During my years of High School, I was running for my Cross Country team and was digging for my State Champion Volleyball team. Also, I am an amateur juggler and an avid chess player.

I am graduate of Cornell University with a B.S. in Hotel Administration. Currently, I am a Masters student at the University of Southern California at the Rossier School of Education. Since graduating from Cornell, I have worked as a tutor and teacher's assistant with a focus in English, Spanish, French, and Algebra 1. I have worked with students of all ages and backgrounds from elementary education to adults improving business writing or learning Spanish from scratch. I have a passion for language and enjoy sharing that passion with others. My favorite subject to tutor is Spanish because I know that learning a new language can be daunting, and I like helping students overcome that feeling. I hold my students to high standards and ensure that I work to give them the support and guidance they need to achieve those standards. I am patient and will employ a variety of strategies to ensure my students relate to and understand the material we are working on. When I am not tutoring, I love dancing, hiking with my dog, and exercising my creativity.

I am undergraduate at Cornell University pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Statistics and Computer Science. I enjoy sharing my passion for analyzing and learning how to model the real world. I have experience tutoring math and statistics, and am also qualified to tutor computer science (both Python and Java). I like sharing real world applications to the quantitative problems, hopefully with some cool pictures or animations. I know what it's like to be unsure of how to solve a math problem and hope to provide students with an opportunity to tackle that confusion and develop some intuition.

Who am I in 2 sentences: Coming from a third-world country, I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to be able to learn and teach students about the beauty of academics; I am passionate, detail-oriented and driven.Why do I like helping others?:Going through difficult times at a young age has allowed me to become very self-aware; through understanding myself am I really able to understand my world. I am able to recognize when someone needs help, especially a student, because I had never received much help growing up. As a physicist, I view the world objectively and find precise solutions to problems in order to help others efficiently.Education: I am currently acquiring a bachelor of science degree in Physics and Mathematics at Cornell University.

Teachers made a huge difference in my life when I was growing up. Now, as an adult, I feel lucky to be able to give back as a tutor. I love getting to know my students, learning how they tick. Understanding how my students learn allows me to tailor my approach to each student to fit his or her individual needs. I like to incorporate the student's interest as well as humor, when I can!

My name is Jon Lash, and I am currently a Master's student at Cornell University. I graduated with my Bachelor's of Science from Cornell in 2016 and I plan to attend medical school in the fall of 2017. I am really excited to be tutoring for Varsity tutors because I really enjoy helping students with subjects that gave me trouble in school. I hope that my time spent developing strategies to learn and absorb the tough material can help you succeed.

I am a Cornell University graduate, I majored in Biometry and Statistics. I am interested in helping students to succeed in their course work by sharing my passion for learning, and by helping students develop their critical thinking skills. I am particularly well suited to assist students with math and physics, subjects which I believe are fundamental in the process of "learning how to learn".My personal values are as follows;- Hard Work- Caring- Integrity- Do the Right Thing- Do Things Right- Teamwork- GratitudeMy goal is to nurture a partnership with students. Learning is a collaborative effort. Students need someone to work with as opposed to someone to work for, and I strive to provide that service to them.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University in 2014, with a minor in Mathematics. After attaining my undergraduate degree, I went to the University of Iowa to pursue a PhD in Applied Mathematics, which I earned in 2020. Since August 2020, I have been a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Dayton. I enjoy nothing more than working with students at all levels of math. I am especially passionate about presenting a new perspective on algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and linear algebra. In my experience, students have always appreciated my patience and flexibility when approaching challenging topics. I also follow sports closely, and in my spare time I enjoy running, watching movies, and playing games with friends.

Hi there! I'm Will, and I'm passionate about helping students navigate the path to both academic excellence and professional success. As a Cornell University graduate and a member of the selective College Scholar Program, I double-majored in Development Economics and History, giving me a unique interdisciplinary perspective on how the world works. Whether you're aiming for a top-tier score on the SAT, mastering AP Economics and History, or crafting a distinctive narrative for your college essays, I bring a blend of academic rigor and strategic insight to every session. Having secured a role at a top-tier consulting firm like Oliver Wyman and completed internships at Capital One and Truist, I understand exactly what it takes to excel in elite environments. My students consistently find that complex concepts finally "click" through my disciplined yet adaptive teaching style.

"Love of learning is the guide of life."I am an experienced tutor in a variety of subjects, ranging from the elementary to the college and medical school levels. I am a graduate of Cornell University with a wide range of educational experiences. By combining this knowledge with hard work, I motivate and empower students to learn. I can work with your child on reading, writing, math and SAT prep. I also have the unique ability to work with him or her on social skills and organizational skills. I will work with you and your child to develop the best plan of action. Thank you for your consideration.

As a self learner, I understand different struggles that students like myself might come across. I have a great passion for math and would love to share the tips and tricks that I have discovered that are application to not only the liberal arts but also in non academic activities as well.

I completed my PhD in English at Harvard University in 2016 and I have been working with students for over 10 years. I've always enjoyed introducing students to new ideas and helping them achieve their goals. In the following paragraphs I'll share my background, detail my experience and expertise, and discuss what motivates me as a teacher. I will also explain my approach to pedagogy.In 2004 I graduated summa cum laude from Cornell University. The following summer I earned a CELTA certification to teach English as a second language in London. I then worked internationally for four years in Prague, Rome, Brussels, and Milan, teaching students of all ages and backgrounds. I helped hundreds of students score highly on the TOEFL exam and gain admission to top American and British universities. I also helped many students excel on the SAT and GRE verbal exam by helping them extend their vocabulary and develop their analytical reasoning skills.I left Europe when I was accepted to Harvard University's PhD program in English, which I began in 2008. I received my master's degree from Harvard in 2010 and the following fall I began assisting professors with their courses in Harvard College as a doctoral student. I worked closely with some of the best professors in the world and I modeled my unique pedagogy after their example.As a scholar with a traditional background in the liberal arts, I share my mentors' staunch commitment to the humanities and the Socratic method as the best way for young minds to discover their potential and develop critical reasoning skills. There are so many dubious test prep and admissions gimmicks out there, but the fact remains that America's best universities look for a particular kind of candidate, a well-rounded student who can reason confidently and express his or her pattern-breaking ideas with clarity, conviction, and grace. No matter what subject I happen to be teaching, everything I do as an instructor brings students a step closer to this significant achievement, one which will truly help them stand out from the crowd.Last year I worked full time for a veterans' non-profit, helping hundreds of servicemen and women transition from the military and gain admission to competitive American universities. Recently, however, I relocated to the Houston area because my fiancee, who also has a PhD in English, now teaches at a major university here. While I continue my research and work towards publishing my dissertation, I will be accepting students for verbal section test prep for all major standardized tests (SAT, ACT, TOEFL, GRE, LSAT, GMAT, etc.). I am also available for lessons in any humanities related field, from history and literature to philosophy, psychology, cultural studies, and world civilization. My broad experience as a teacher qualifies me to work with students from middle school all the way to the PhD.I look forward to hearing about your personal vision of success and helping you accomplish it!

I love learning and look forward to helping students feel more confident, prepared, and successful in school. I recently moved back to the Pittsburgh area to begin a private sector career after seven years as a diplomat, working overseas and in Washington DC. I am working as a tutor to share my passion for writing, languages (English and French), history, government, and politics with students. I enhance tutoring sessions with real-world examples and scenarios to make history, politics, social studies, and language arts come alive off the textbook page.

My academic background is focused on the Biological Sciences, Writing, and Editing. I have worked as an Educator in the fields of Nutrition and Sustainable Agriculture. Both fields require a thorough understanding of Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, and other Sciences. The age range of students I have worked with is broad, from elementary students to young adults. This variety has made me a more flexible Teacher and I am comfortable with changing my approach to best meet my students' needs.It is important to respect each students' individual learning styles and help them figure out how they can best work with their strengths. Students need information presented as simply as possible, yet can benefit from thinking about the same information in different ways; striking this balance keeps students engaged. I also answer and ask questions carefully, helping students learn how to think through problems on their own and truly understand the correct answers. Through working with me, students can become more independent and confident, knowing that they have the critical thinking skills needed to continue to learn and meet their goals.

After graduating from Cornell University with my Bachelors in Physics and German Studies, I am currently enrolled in the Materials Science and Engineering PhD program at the University of Michigan. I enjoy tutoring students because I was once on the other side of the table! While at Cornell, a physics graduate student provided me with supportive, concept-based, and empathetic tutoring that greatly increased my self-confidence and mastery of the course material. In my tutoring sessions, I use many techniques which I learned from him, and my #1 goal is to empathize with the student and make them feel valued despite their academic struggles. My tutoring sessions focus on helping the student understand the "why" -- "why is equation X appropriate and not equation Y?". From my own experience, this approach allows students to fully understand the course material and apply it in a variety of settings, from academia to careers and internships.I have completed over 500 hours of tutoring at 3 different companies, and have proofread cover letters and resumes for adults seeking new job opportunities. I continue to keep my German skills sharp by regularly watching German television and news, and have achieved CEFR Level C2 Proficiency (highest possible) in all areas of the German language (reading, writing, speaking, and listening).

Hello! My name is Akanksha, and I am an Environmental Engineering major at Cornell University. I am incredibly passionate about sustainability and I enjoy mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Apart from Environmental Engineering, I am interested in Aerospace Engineering and Architecture, and I plan to pursue a minor in both of these fields. Outside of school, I hike and play golf for fun, but I also tutor several students. In high school, I worked at Kumon Learning Center and assisted students with their math and reading coursework. I am also currently a tutor for the STEP program at Cornell, where I teach middle school and high school students chemistry and mathematics. I am very comfortable tutoring in various STEM subjects (i.e. calculus, algebra, geometry, chemistry, physics, environmental science), and I enjoy tutoring sessions with students very much.

I have spent my life teaching math, both as a classroom teacher and as a tutor, and I love it! My goal is always to make mathematics simple and understandable. I teach by asking questions, both to check for understanding and to allow the student to figure out the concept on his/her own. While my favorite topics are Statistics and Trigonometry, I love teaching all of Algebra too. I have taught both AP Statistics as well as IB SL. Nothing compares to seeing the look of understanding a math concept on a student's face! In addition, I have taught courses in, and tutored, SAT Prep for 35 years. While I do tutor both the math and Reading & Writing sections, I do believe that students can be helped more in the math section. Therefore, I choose to work with students who want to improve their math score more, but may still want some help with the Reading and Writing. Yes, the SAT has changed throughout the years but I have kept up with it and have seen more than 100 SAT tests. I am an expert in SAT test construction and offer many problem-solving strategies for success on the SAT test.

I am originally from Brooklyn, New York and am currently working towards a master's degree in Nutrition from Columbia University. Prior to graduate studies, I received my bachelor's from Cornell University in the biological sciences. Outside of my academic life I enjoy cooking, dancing, horseback riding, and traveling. I have always made myself available as a tutor to my peers, but my formal tutoring experience began in my freshman year of college when I offered chemistry tutoring. Throughout my college career I have offered assistance with general biology, general chemistry, biochemistry, and microbiology. As a former student in the busy NYC public school system, I am aware that many students do not succeed fully solely given the limited learning styles used widely in schools. As a tutor I am honored to supplement schoolwork with individualized attention to meet your learning needs and help you succeed!

I am a chemical engineering student at Cornell University. I enjoy learning math and science and want to share my passion for these subjects. I have experience working as a sleep-away camp counselor and enjoyed those summers. I also have prior tutoring experience at the high school level.

I have tutored many people in the past - from elementary school kids to Duke University athletes. I really enjoy the challenge of helping students understand material that was previously foreign to them. I am highly dedicated, make my own lessons and try to make learning as fun as possible.

I graduated from Cornell University with a B.S. in Natural Resources. Upon graduating, I joined Teach For America as a middle school science teacher working in a public school in the Bronx, New York. I taught sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth grade Math and Science for six years before enrolling in a Post-Baccalaureate program for health sciences professions at Rutgers University. In this one year program, I am taking pre-requisite courses to be eligible for medical school. I enjoy tutoring Science as well as Math and especially enjoy helping students overcome anxieties and fears they have associated with these subjects. In my spare time I enjoy running, biking, and swimming as well as baking.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Cornell University. I am also a graduate of the University at Buffalo Law School. I admitted to the practice of law in New York and New Jersey. Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Arts in Higher Education Administration at Stony Brook University. I enjoy mentoring and tutoring students. I have experience working with a variety of age groups. The subjects that I like to tutor are Reading and Writing. I also enjoy working with students on the college application process. It is an exciting time for high school students and I enjoy assisting in making the college selection that is right for them. In my spare time, I enjoy Zumba and watching television shows such as Shark Tank, Amazing Race and The Voice.

My teaching experience began in high school, when my dad was a teacher at a weekend Chinese school in Westchester County, New York. I substituted for him while he went to China for a few weeks. The students loved me even though I wasn't that much older than them (they were middle school students). After college I spent a year in Beijing and tutored adults in English and Chinese. In 2007 I taught a GRE class at Baruch College in Manhattan. In 2007 I began working on Wall Street while volunteering after work. Most recently from 2012-2014 I was a volunteer tutor at the Fresh Air Fund in midtown Manhattan, where I worked with inner city middle school students after school on a one-on-one basis (two hour sessions once to twice a week).I love tutoring and I am comfortable tutoring all subjects ranging from Math, English, Foreign Languages (beginner to advanced Mandarin or French, beginner Spanish), Social Studies, History, Science and test-preparation.

Hi! I'm Emily, a bioengineering graduate and former engineering teaching assistant. I specialize in ACT/PSAT prep and enjoy helping students improve both their scores and confidence. One of my favorite parts of tutoring is seeing the "aha" moment when a concept finally clicks. I focus on creating a supportive environment, breaking challenging concepts into manageable steps, and helping students become more independent learners.

I am an Environmental Engineering graduate of Cornell University. I love math and have plenty of tutoring experience. I adapt very well to each students learning styles.

A lifelong learner with multiple master's degrees and an undergraduate degree from Ivy League institutions, I bring my passion for learning to every conversation. I have tutoring experience in subjects such as AP U.S. Government and Politics, AP U.S. History, and college-level Political Science. I also have a professional background in data analytics, financial modeling, and statistical analysis, and can provide tutoring in any of those subjects. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to explore complex concepts and develop critical thinking skills. I prioritize connecting with students through engaging discussions and real-world applications, helping them see the relevance of what they are learning. I am motivated by witnessing their academic growth and confidence, and I enjoy incorporating technology and innovative approaches into my lessons.

With a B.S. in Developmental Psychology and preschool education training from Cornell University and a M.Ed in International Education from Harvard University, I became an elementary school teacher at the United Nations International School in New York City. I loved teaching here because of the multicultural atmosphere. I loved interacting with international students and learning about different cultures.I presently tutor at the elementary school level and I especially love teaching math because it's like puzzles to figure out. I use many visual aids and really believe in breaking down everything to the basics and my motto is review, review and review. I believe it's important to go over things because we all forget and that's ok.

My first experience teaching and tutoring was in May 2005 in Taipei City, Taiwan. It was a formative experience for me because I was teaching and tutoring students whose native language was not English. They truly helped me grow as an instructor because of the cultural and linguistic challenges that they brought to the fore.My tutoring philosophy is simple. Teach a student how to think and study. In the academic sphere, this is akin to the old saying teach a man to fish??? It is important to me to dialogue with the student about his or her goals and apprehensions with a given subject. Communication is crucial because it helps me the tutor and the student set milestones that are achievable with a certain time scope.I love learning and sharing with others the things I learn. There???s no better reward for me as a tutor than to help a student see just how interesting history, languages, literature, poetry, art and politics can be as subjects. It is a great joy reading and learning about these subjects and I have never met a student that does not come to enjoy these subjects as well in due time.

I am a student at Cornell University studying Chemical Engineering and Computer Science. I'm living in Tarrytown right now and can help your son or daughter in math, science, or SAT/ACT prep! Over the past 5 years, I've accumulated many hours of tutoring experience. Some of the subjects I tutor include:-HS / AP Chemistry-HS / AP Physics-All Math Levels (Algebra, Trig, Precalc, Calculus, etc)- SATII Math (Both levels)-SAT / ACT Math- ACT ScienceOne of my core teaching methods is getting the student to thoughtfully approach questions and logically approach problems. I believe strongly that a student should be guided through problems rather than simply told whether they are right or wrong (that's what an answer key is for!). A tutor should provide feedback on their thought processes as well as follow through all possible choices when given options such as multiple choice. This way, students can learn to identify the right answer. My age gives me an advantage in that I have been in the shoes of all of my students not too many years ago. Not only do I currently use the information/skills that I help students acquire, but I believe I can act as a role model to encourage students that working hard pays off, and it is in fact cool to succeed in math and science. There is a huge reward for diligence, hard work, and success, and I try to instill these in every person I assist.My coursework has included Differential Equations, Multivariable Calculus, Discrete Math, etc. as well as lots of Physics courses (Heat and Mass Transfer, Mechanics, E&M, Fluid Mechanics), so you can be sure Physics and Math are my thing.Please consider me in helping you or your child, and I will do just that, to the best of my abilities.

Hi!My name is Abby and I am excited to work with you!A little about me, I recently graduated with my Masters of Public Health from Boston University. Before that, I completed my Bachelors from Cornell University.I have many years of experience as a tutor and I have worked with students and children of all ages. I have been a swimming instructor, a flute teacher, and an English tutor. In college, I tutored students in Organic Chemistry.I try to make learning fun and accessible for everyone I work with. For younger children, I create games and activities to help keep them engaged. Activities can include skits, using props to help explain concepts, acting out scenes in stories to make reading fun, or using art to help illustrate ideas. I think that hands on learning works best for many young children. For older students, I like to teach using practice problems, and by having the student teach me what they have learned. I have found that if you are able to teach what you learned back to me, it means you truly understand it. I am also happy to accommodate your learning style if you know what works for you! I will work with you individually to make sure that you get the most out of your sessions.I would love the opportunity to help you excel!~Abby

I graduated valedictorian of my major with a B.S. in Communications from Cornell in 2013 and spent the better part of the next year teaching English abroad before I headed back home to the U.S. to transition into law school. I am interested in one thing and one thing only: getting you the grade you want on the LSAT. While I initially struggled with the exam, scoring a low score on my initial diagnostic, in three months of study I was able to achieve a much higher score, and I am sure that the systems that I created in preparing for the exam will greatly aid you in your efforts to excel. I firmly believe anyone with the right guidance and dedication is capable of improving their score on the LSAT.Beyond the test, however, I am a pretty down to earth guy. During college I was a player in an improvisational comedy troupe for two years as well as a member of my university's table tennis team (yes these exist). In my spare time I enjoy running, reading, and playing fetch with my dog.

I am a Cornell University graduate with a strong academic background and a genuine love for tutoring. I currently work as a tutor and truly enjoy helping students feel more confident in subjects that once felt overwhelming. I believe learning is most effective when students feel supported, understood, and encouraged. My tutoring style is patient, approachable, and individualized. I take the time to understand how each student thinks, and I enjoy breaking down complex ideas into clear, manageable steps and helping students develop problem-solving strategies they can use on their own. Whether we're preparing for an exam, reinforcing foundational concepts, or building better study habits, my goal is to help students feel capable and confident.

Francois graduated in Fall 2016 with a Bachelor of Technology in Telecommunication Engineering Technology from New York City College of technology. Francois has also been involved at City Tech as a Peer Leader, beginning in the Fall 2014 semester. Through this Peer-Led Team Learning program, he has facilitated students learning in Remedial Math, Algebra and Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus I and II.

He got accepted at Cornel University to pursue a Master of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

By helping adolescents to define themselves based on their own talents and a valuable self-worth instead of trying to meet someone else's expectations, we can build students' confidence and academic success. We all have the right and responsibility to accept ourselves by defining who we are on our own terms and knowing what we stand for. This intricate balance can be achieved through increasing the availability and visibility of positive role models, advocating for participation in extracurricular activities, and educating students about goal setting and having high expectations for themselves.

I am a junior at Cornell University studying Biology and Society. I've been interested in science and medicine for as long as I can remember, and I aspire to become a physician one day. Growing up, I always appreciated the value of education and what it opened up for me. I constantly had questions and was always eager to learn more. I've tutored for several years, and my favorite subjects to teach are definitely biology and math. As a tutor, I hope to answer students' questions, help them appreciate their academic interests even more than they already do, and learn more about myself and others.

I am a student at Cornell University pursuing a degree in Computer Science. My passion for tutoring stems from a desire to empower students with the tools they need to approach challenging material with confidence and curiosity. I know firsthand how powerful it is to have someone break down complex topics into manageable steps, and I aim to provide that same clarity and support for others. I've worked with students in both academic and outreach settings. I have mentored high schoolers in robotics and programming, helped peers grasp fundamental concepts in math and science, and served as a debate coach, where I guided students in building arguments, analyzing policy, and developing strong communication skills. I enjoy building a connection with students and tailoring my explanations to how they learn best, whether that means using visual aids, real-world examples, or interactive problem-solving. I tutor subjects in math, science, and computer programming. My favorite areas to teach are computer science and physics because they allow students to see immediate cause and effect, sparking creativity and deeper understanding. I believe in a tutoring style that is encouraging, collaborative, and grounded in patience. Every student can learn; it is just a matter of finding the right path together. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy building electronics projects, exploring new technologies, and learning how policy and ethics intersect with engineering. Whether it is guiding students through a tough homework set or helping them discover a new academic passion, I am committed to making the learning process both effective and enjoyable.

I am a recent graduate of Cornell University. I graduated from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) at Cornell with a Bachelor’s in Science. I majored in Biology with a concentration in Molecular and Cell Biology. I am currently working in medical research here in New York and am planning on applying to MD and MD/PHD programs. I have worked in many different study group environments and I believe that putting topics and ideas into the proper context makes the information easier to process as well as more memorable to the student. I have seen this in everything from US History to biology and truly believe this is the best way to fully understand and grasp new concepts. My down time consists of a lot of physical activity, whether that is in the form of going to the gym or playing ice hockey and soccer. I find staying physically active is a great way to balance the academic challenges in my life and allows for me to have a productive escape whenever I need one.
