I am a creative whose ingenuity and nuanced insight is devoted to investigating the art of both expression and design. A professional with work experiences spanning scientific research, writing instruction/tutoring, and design in the field of technology, I have not only been able to witness the instrument of writing come into play distinctly for each specialty, but also realized exactly how to help the modern student tackling the ACT, SAT, and college admissions season in all of today's digital chaos. Hire me for a timeless, yet keen mentor who is dedicated to not only helping you get your foot in the door of your dream program(s) and school(s), but inspiring you to gain the type of confidence and understanding that will ultimately help propel you towards success in any and all of your future endeavors, since the art of expression in all of its various forms (for here, we will focus on writing) are oftentimes pivotal towards unlocking the doors you wouldn't have even known existed.

I am a graduate of Cornell University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Human Biology, Health and Society. Since graduation, I have continued my education at Kean University. I plan to complete an informal postbach and apply directly to medical school. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Biology and Physics. I would best describe my tutoring style as very strategic and presenting the content as easy as possible to understand. In my spare time, I enjoy jogging, boxing and developing mobile games.

I am a rising junior at Cornell University, majoring in Statistics and minoring in Computer Science. I can easily reach students on the North Shore or northern Chicago.

My teaching style broadly consists of two kinds: a method used for language-learning and a method used for history. Both are relatively straightforward. For language study I follow the usual method of most classicists, focus on syntax and clause structure--in particular I find that understanding the clause structure of any language, ancient or modern, analytic or synthetic, is crucial in intuitively understanding the meaning of a sentence. In history I try to help students understand the "historical method" as easily as possible through exposure to historical sources and understanding of their uses--I also frequently approach history from a so-called "bottom-up" or microhistorical approach, which I've found in teaching Roman Republican history can be very useful for students in understanding how a society functioned, which is crucial for their understanding of causality of events. These methods of approaching teaching in these particular subjects served me well during high school and now as I approach the end of my undergraduate education, and while I cannot of course guarantee particular results for any student, I've found that in my experiences volunteer teaching and elsewhere that my method has been generally well-received.

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 graduated from cum laude Cornell University with a major in Biological Sciences and Nutritional Sciences and a minor in Cognitive Sciences. Currently, I am completing graduate school at University of Medicine and Dentistry (UMDNJ) Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences for an MS degree. I will be starting medical school in 2013, as part of UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School Class of 2017!Having an extensive academic background in biological sciences, I believe I can be your best tutor in subjects such as anatomy, biology and microbiology. Having taken the MCAT, I can help you obtain your best score possible! I have gone through many MCAT materials and would love to share what have worked for me, what hasn't, the pros and the cons and help you figure out techniques and methods to effectively study. Through many years of studying and much much more studying for medical school, I have acquired various study skills that I would love to share with you.I have also tutored SAT in all 3 subjects (Verbal, Writing and Math) for 4 years both one on one and in a small classroom setting. During this time, I also tutored elementary and middle school students in various subjects. I also work extremely well with children as I was head assistant at an aftercare program, helping out with homework, various activities and serving as a mentor for grades 1 to 6. I also have experience working with children with disabilities as I have volunteered as a buddy for numerous programs for children with disabilities since I was in high school. Here, I have developed patience and have learned how to give specialized attention.I am excited to not only be an excellent tutor but a positive mentor and role model. I like to engage the student and make sure that the student actually understands the material because this is how information stays with us. I believe that hard work pays off. You don't have to be the most gifted or smartest student in the room, but if you put in the time and effort, you can reach your fullest potential. I want to make studying as fun as it can possibly be (and it is fun when you are actually understanding what you're learning!) "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit."AristotleDuring my free time, I love to bake and cook. But if you're going to eat as many sweets as me, you better work it off! Luckily, I love a good work out and dancing as well. I've done hiphop since high school and throughout college. Recently, I have picked up latin dancing and am currently learning styles such as merengue, bachata, Argentinean tango and salsa to name a few. As a nutrition major, I also enjoy staying healthy, doing yoga and zumba which I am now obsessed with! Other times, I like doing arts and crafts from DIY projects to painting.

I'm a sophomore at Cornell University, and a recent graduate from Stuyvesant High School (a specialized high school in downtown Manhattan). I have much experience tutoring kids from ages 6 to 18 through the company Allen Mentoring in subjects such as physics, math, english, and history. I have scored a 34 on my ACT exam (out of 36). If you haven't found anyone already, I would be happy to be of assistance. Please let me know. I would be happy to answer any questions beforehand. Thank you!

I am a graduate of Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with Distinction in 2015. Since graduation, I was a physics/chemistry teacher and soccer coach at a private school in Virginia for a year, where I led the soccer team to an undefeated season. Before teaching and coaching professionally, I was a Teaching Assistant for the Cornell Math and Physics Departments, where I taught many subjects including calculus, mechanics, electromagnetism. Throughout my time at Cornell and as a teacher, I tutored subjects ranging from the SAT to AP Physics and Algebra II, which is where my true talents lie: in small group or one-on-one settings where I can give students the full attention they deserve and tailor my approach specifically to their learning styles. This is why I am now pursuing tutoring as a part-time occupation at Varsity Tutors. I embrace teaching all math and science subjects, especially physics and calculus, at both the college and high school level and will go above and beyond to make sure all of my students succeed, according to their definition of success. In my spare time, I enjoy playing league soccer, basketball, tennis and guitar, and also like to travel and see as much of the world as I can.

Born and raised in New York, I went to Bronx Science for high school and graduated from Columbia University in 2012. I recently graduated with an MBA degree at Cornell University and will be working in brand management. I have over 6 years of tutoring experience in NYC for middle school math, English/writing, PSAT/SAT prep, and Algebra Regents test prep. I also have a Masters degree from Fordham Graduate School of Education for teaching special education and taught high school special education for two years before going to business school. My passion for tutoring started early on when I was in high school. As a member of the National Honors Society at the Bronx High School of Science, I often tutored my peers and discovered early on how much I enjoyed sharing knowledge and helping others learn and improve in various subjects. After I graduated high school and went to Columbia University, I continued tutoring on the side in between my own undergraduate classes. Past clients have described me as extremely helpful, caring, dedicated, patient, and flexible. I've worked with many different types of students, and my goal is to always empower each student to take control of their own learning and education by giving them the support that they need to ultimately become self-sufficient lifetime learners.

I'm a recent Cornell graduate who is passion about personalized education. I studied English and Film, with a lot of everything else thrown in!As someone who's been stuck in classes that didn't do anything for me, I value the fact that everyone learns differently, and that variety and context, though integral to an engaged learning experience, are often lacking in traditional classrooms. I have remote teaching experience, so I'm looking forward to tutoring a wide variety of students online!

I majored in math at Cornell University. I then went to law school and now write comedy for a theater in Manhattan. All the while I have been tutoring math at all levels from elementary to college level calculus. Due to my law school experience I have a very organized approach to my tutoring sessions; and due to my experience writing comedy I am able to have fun with my students and make them feel at ease. My students like working with me because they can tell that I care a lot about their success as well as their understanding and enjoyment of the subject matter.

I recently graduated from Cornell University with a degree in Biometry & Statistics. I was both a teaching assistant and tutor while at Cornell and have a passion for statistics. I'll be starting graduate school in the fall at Cornell Tech in NYC.

I teach all types of writing. My students range from high school students writing course papers and essays to university students composing research papers and dissertations to adults engaged in self-study with creative writing. Some of my creative writing courses are "The Courage to Write Poetry Workshop" and "Writing My Multicultural Voice." I earned my PhD and MS degree from Cornell University; my BA is from Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT.

I am currently a student at Cornell University. At Cornell, I have maintained a 3.88 GPA and made the Dean's List every semester. I attended a small private high school and graduated at the top of my class with a 4.0 GPA (unweighted). My ACT Composite score was 34, and I am an AP Scholar with Honors.I have developed effective learning techniques and study habits and my goal as a tutor is to pass these skill along to my students. I excel at explaining complicated ideas and problems in easy to understand plain English. On a personal level, I believe in the power of positive thought and I go out of my way to connect with my student and utilize positive reinforcement. I am passionate about teaching a variety of different subjects, including ACT and SAT preparation as well as English, history, economics, and mathematics.

Hi! I'm Dr. Calum Russell and I am a biologist in North Carolina. I currently teach at Wake Technical Community College (Biology) and am an agricultural scientist (plants and insects). I've taught in community college settings for over 5 years and have led informal education seminars around insects, microbes, and plants for over 20 years. When I'm not working, teaching, or tutoring, I can be found out walking my dog, running on the trails, or reading about the most recent scientific discovery in the news!

I am a 2014 graduate of Cornell University's College of Engineering where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Biological Engineering. I have just begun my Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University. My favorite subjects to tutor include Test Prep and elementary/middle school subjects. I enjoy helping younger students so that they can be excited about learning and begin their education with a solid foundation in reading, writing, and mathematics. I believe it is important to provide students with the proper tools to succeed at a young age so that they continue to have a desire to learn for the rest of their lives. I loved my college experience and want to show high school students that with practice and diligence, they too can perform well on standardized tests and go on to the university of their choosing. To accomplish academic goals at any level, it is important for the student to have fun while learning! I personalize my teaching approach to fit the student's learning style so that he or she can easily transition from learning a concept to applying it to a given problem. The greatest reward is seeing the smile on a student's face when a topic "clicks".Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring Philadelphia, baking, exercising, watching football with friends, and decorating my apartment.

Hello! I'm a premedical student at Cornell University with extensive experience tutoring students, especially in chemistry at the high school and undergraduate level, writing at the high school and undergraduate level, and SAT/ACT prep.

Math is a language; it is creative, intuitive and serves a purpose. As a tutor I will help you master it with the fewest formulas to memorize and the most conceptual understanding, so that you will not forget everything a year later or blank out during an exam. This is the learning approach I used as an engineer in Italy, as an MBA student at CUNY, and in my PhD coursework at Cornell University. Also, it is the same approach I successfully shared as a teacher with math students of the Bronx Community College and Operations Management students of Baruch College and the Cornell Graduate School. Whether statistics, management or psychology majors, or new freshmen, they usually are able to grasp the "grammar rules" of a linear algebra problem before I proceed to formally state the theorem to be applied.While I continue today with my research work on probability models and my full-time college teaching, I enjoy guiding high school or older students, and middle school students beyond their grade level, through most mathematical subjects, statistics, management, and test prep. Now a long time New Yorker, I also enjoy the city by bike and the occasional getaway by hike, kayak, or cross country skis. I enjoy traveling, healthy cooking, and sharing the culture and language of my home country, Italy, with students and friends from all over the world.

Hello! I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Texas at Austin studying Computational Science. I graduated cum laude from Cornell University with a B.Sc. in Computer Science.My doctoral studies fall at the overlap of mathematics, computer science, and physics. I enjoy coding software that adheres to professional coding standards but deals with solving complex physical problems. I have half a decade of experience coding in C/C++/Java. Some of the extensive projects that I have built include a microkernel in C, a puzzle video game in C++ and a compiler in Java.Over the past few years, I have tutored students in senior level college computer science courses in operating systems and computer vision. I enjoy teaching and I look forward to working with students who not only want to master the course material but also want to learn more about the subject.

I received a BA in Comparative Literature from Cornell University in 2013, and am currently working towards an MA in English at University of Connecticut. I have experience working with students K-12, as well as teaching First-Year Writing to undergraduates at UConn. I also worked for several years editing my college newspaper, and have additional experience in publishing. I specialize in teaching academic reading and essay writing, test prep and college readiness, and editing and verbal skills.I aim to understand each student's individual goals and approaches to learning, and gear my tutoring sessions to the student's particular needs. I find that we learn best when we understand the "why" behind the content, paired with practical and tangible methods. I have worked with students across ages and skill levels, and with a range of goals.

I'm Professor of Philosophy at Auburn University, and have also taught at UNC Chapel Hill and U. Michigan. A.B. from Harvard, Ph.D. from Cornell. I've been teaching philosophy for nearly four decades, at both undergrad and grad levels. Philosophy can seem alien to a beginner, but I believe that it's just a more systematic version of questions we all face and ways of thinking we already use in everyday life. I look forward to helping guide you through the exciting world of philosophy!

My name is Sharon and I'm a 2018 graduate of Cornell University, with a degree in Human Biology, Health, and Society and a minor in Health Policy. I am currently a 4th year medical student with plans to pursue Ob/Gyn after graduation in 2022! For me, tutoring is one of the most rewarding opportunities! I love connecting with students and empowering them to get to where they want to be academically. My students have ranged in age from as young as 6 years old to college-aged. I've been tutoring individually for over 8 years now, and I specialize in helping students with chemistry, biology, math, and test-prep.

After transferring from a community college, I graduated from Cornell University in 2020 and received a B.A. in philosophy with Distinction in All Subjects, 4.05 GPA. After, I became a tutor, with English reading and writing and philosophy as some of my subjects. I believe that the sharing and communication of knowledge is an important aspect of human life. I enjoy working with a variety of learning approaches and am glad to assist students and learners attain their potential. My personal areas of interest are the humanities, mathematics, and the sciences, and in particular, English, Latin, and philosophy. I believe that learning is a lifelong activity and part of human excellence. I wish you success in your own learning journey, and it is my joy to see you flourish in genuine understanding and knowledge.

I graduated Cornell University magna cum laude with degrees in History and Philosophy. After graduation, I consulted for two years and helped build Hawaii's new Health Insurance Marketplace. I also created an educational current events newsletter. I then joined a start up in NYC where I mentored and coached two analysts. I was most drawn to the teaching side of these experiences and find that the skills translate well to tutoring when complemented with my passion for history, English, writing, philosophy, and persuasive argumentation. In the tradition of philosophy, I feel tutoring is most effective using a Socratic dialogue approach, asking the right questions to guide the student to understanding. During my free time, I enjoy traveling, calisthenics, soccer, guitar and live music, reading history and science fiction, and keeping in touch with friends. I plan on attending law school in the near future.

I am a sophomore student at Cornell University, studying Computer Science. I also find Linguistics and Natural Language Processing extremely interesting, and I hope to pursue a minor in them. In my spare time, you might find me singing, reading, or cooking! My passion for teaching has been present for as long as I can remember. My younger brother has a learning disability, and so I have spent most of my life trying to see the world the way he sees it, while letting him into mine. This ongoing experience has given me an appreciation for the dimension and variety that minds offer, and it has taught me that not everyone learns, or thinks, the same way. I hope to provide accommodation and empathy in everything I do, and learn just as much from my students as they do from me! My formal tutoring experience was with refugee students, whom I taught English and math. That exposure gave me an introduction to tutoring those who may not be as comfortable with English, and I built on my skill of speaking concisely and simply when required. I tutor a broad range of subjects, but most enjoy teaching middle and high school English, Social Science, and Math. I am a firm believer in education, and its power to uplift and encourage. This is something that I have seen in my parents' lives, and one that as a college student I am now experiencing firsthand. It is my goal to be of great help to all my students on their educational path!

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.

Hi students! I'm Maya and an incoming Sophomore studying Computer Science and Business at Cornell University. In high school, I took several AP courses such as APUSH, AP Calc AB and BC, AP European History, to name a few. I am more than willing to help out in any way I can. Please feel free to also check out my study guide website (myoutlines.com), which will soon have an iOS application (releasing this summer!) so students can study and review on the go.

I recently graduated from Cornell University where I majored in Environmental Engineering. Because of my acedemic background, my tutoring strenghs are in math and science. I began tutoring in high school as president of the Math Honors Society and a member of the science honors society. In college, I continued to teach peers through Cornell Outdoor Education.I believe any student can suceed in the math and sciences regardless of gender or natural ability. Through repition, visulaization, and step by step understanding, any problem can be conquered. My goal is to help each individual over the initial, reaction of "I can't do this" to "I can figure this out." I hope to cultivate confidence and understanding in your child regardless of the topics they struggle with.

My name is Kate and I currently teach high school mathematics in Providence. I graduated from Cornell University in 2010 with a BA in Psychology. I dove into teaching right after college and taught 6th grade math. After a few years of teaching, I served as an Urban Education Fellow at Brown University. I love teaching math and working with students of all ages. I really love algebra concepts in particular! In my free time, I like to play soccer and surf at Narragansett Town Beach!

Hi guys! My name is Mohammed Islam, but all my friends call me Mo. I'm a freshman engineering student at Cornell University studying Computer Science. If you need help in any STEM subject, I'm your guy. But if you still want to talk about you English Essay problems or SAT Writing issues, I can definitely help there. Outside of that, I'm willing to help in whatever issues you have, school related or not. Hoping to hear from a lot of you.

I have a BS in Chemistry from Michigan State University and an MS in Environmental Toxicology (focus on Environmental Chemistry) from Cornell University. I was an undergraduate TA for General Chemistry at MSU in the Lyman Briggs College of Science for 2 years and guest lecturer for a graduate-level Water Chemistry course at Cornell.

I love tutoring because it gives me the chance to provide individualized attention and support to students.

I show students how math connects to what they already know. Students are often overwhelmed with the many different topics and symbols of mathematics. I break things down into bite-sized pieces and show how they all connect.

I am a great teacher with over 8 years teaching experience teaching children from Grades K through 12. I received my B.S. in Industrial and Labor Relations from Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. and a certificate in Special Education from the Hudson County Schools of Technology in North Bergen, New Jersey. I worked as a tutor for the State Tutoring Program in Arizona from 2013 to 2016. From the academic year of 2016 to 2017, I worked as a Substitute Teacher with Kelly Educational Services teaching Mathematics and English to elementary kids at the Roosevelt School district in Phoenix, Arizona.

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.

I am passionate about empowering others to not only reach academic progress, but also gain a greater self-confidence through encouraging, patient tutoring. I am a middle school school STEM teacher seeking additional students to help in my out-of-work hours. Finally, I am a Cornell University alum and am confident in my ability to teach students in a range of fields - anything from English, ESL, art, writing, social studies to math and computers. Looking forward to hearing from you!Lena

Currently I am a graduate student in Stanford University's Master's Program for Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling. Prior to my enrollment at Stanford, I worked as a Genetic Counseling Assistant for Igenomix, a genetic testing laboratory. I graduated from Cornell University in December of 2021 with a BS in Biological Sciences and a minor in Education. As a student, I was a member of a research lab that works with the genetic basis of epilepsy in fruit flies as well as an undergraduate TA for a genetics laboratory course at Cornell. While I tutor a range of subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring biology and genetics, as that is where most of my expertise lies. I have enjoyed tutoring SAT and ACT math and science sections in the past and have found students have great success on these stressful tests after seeking out help from tutors like me. In my free time I love watching TV shows with my friends, being active, and painting. I am also a Crisis Text Line volunteer and enjoy taking shifts to help people through difficult times.

I am a graduate of Cornell University, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English with a Minor in Music. I hold a Masters of Arts in English from the University of Connecticut, where I am currently working on my PhD in American Literature. I tutor a mix of test preparation, English, Literature, and Writing. In helping students with reading and writing skills, I enjoy using multiple different approaches to develop a well-rounded understanding of the techniques, while making the sessions fun. I'm a strong proponent of keeping studying dynamic. It is important to me that my students come away from our sessions with not only the scores or grades they desire, but a deeper understanding of the topics and skills that will continue to benefit them beyond test day. In my spare time I love long runs, singing, hiking, and reading.

I am a graduate of Cornell University college of engineering and a native Mandarin Chinese speaker fluent in both Chinese and English. I moved to the US when I was 9 years old. I am warm, attentive, and love to use humor and creativity in my tutoring. I have 2 young kids of my own and especially passionate about working with children in preschool to elementary school who are interested in Chinese language and culture. I also have deep experience in the business world so can guide adults in learning Mandarin for business and travel.Additionally I love writing and literature and enjoy working with high-schoolers in perfecting their college admissions essays. I also have a background in engineering and can provide tutoring in elementary through college level math and science subjects.

As a passionate educator with a Doctorate in Biomedical Engineering from Cornell University, I am committed to helping students excel in subjects such as algebra, chemistry, and biology. My tutoring experience includes working with middle and high school students, where I focus on understanding each student's unique learning style and tailoring lessons to address their specific needs. I believe in fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring complex concepts. My enthusiasm for organic chemistry and biology stems from my academic journey, during which I conducted research in these fields, igniting my desire to share this knowledge with others. I aim to inspire curiosity and confidence in my students, guiding them to achieve their academic goals through personalized instruction and engaging problem-solving techniques.

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.
