Award-Winning Tutors from Cornell University

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 junior Computer Science major in the College of Engineering at Cornell University. I have experience tutoring in the National Honor Society in high school, as well as on numerous occasions with acquaintances of mine who were struggling and needed a hand. I tutor high school computer science especially in java and python, as well as algebra (1 & 2) and calculus 1. I love tutoring the math subjects especially, because I feel very comfortable with the subjects and enjoy abstracting them in different ways to help any individual. I believe that success in education is key to building a great life for oneself, and that any person can succeed with the proper work ethic and support network. Even more, I love to see when people I have helped are successful, regardless of area of life. In my spare time, I love to follow college football and basketball and talk about games.

I graduated Cornell University College of Engineering cum laude with honors, majoring in biological engineering. Following graduation, I worked in a cancer drug discovery lab for a pharmaceutical company.I have tutored students of all ages in a variety of subjects. I am passionate about teaching and really want to see everyone succeed.

My academic background is in Math and Computer Science. I hold a bachelors of Mathematics from University of Florida and a Masters of Computer Science from Cornell University and I am currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science. Outside of tutoring, my full time career is in software development.I'm comfortable tutoring high school and college level math and computer science as well as SAT and GRE prep. And my style of tutoring focuses on not just rote memorization of concepts but learning how and when to apply the right tool for the job. I've always loved creative problem solving and like to help my students learn to enjoy even tough topics like Trigonometry or Calculus as puzzles that require a lot of creative thinking. I've had some great teachers and mentors through the years who have shaped how I think, and I always enjoy the opportunity to pay that forward.Outside of my professional career, I'm a husband and father of four children. And I'm an avid life long learner.

I graduated magna cum laude from Cornell University with a BS in engineering physics, and a math minor. I have been tutoring for more than 6 years. For 2.5 years, I taught math to Cornell Engineering undergraduates, and I looked forward to it every week! On Varsity Tutors, I tutor up to college level mathematics and physics, test prep (including AP courses, and SAT reading/writing). Explaining difficult math and science concepts in plain English is my forte. I love teaching and will be glad to help anyone become an independent learner.

I studied "Policy Analysis and Management" at Cornell University (economics, econometrics, and public policy), and I'm looking forward to pursuing graduate studies in the fall for Environmental Management. During the past 3 years, I've been fortunate to travel and work on different organic farms and sustainable land stewardship projects; I'm hoping that my graduate studies will offer an opportunity to merge my formal academic training with my recent experiences working with the land. Can't wait to get to know you, and help you work towards your goals!

I am a graduate from Cornell University where I received a bachelor's degree in Biological Engineering with a minor in Mechanical Engineering. For several years, I have always had a passion for tutoring/teaching others around me whether they were children, classmates or adults much older than I. From my studies, my favorite subjects to help with were Mathematics and Physics; they are closely integrated with each other and personally it is rewarding when my students understand concepts that they initially struggled with. As for my past tutoring experience, I volunteered teaching GED courses around the Brooklyn area. I also took up private one to one sessions with locals who requested my help in subjects. Currently I am teaching an after-school program where I show middle school students STEM related topics through hands on activities. I am also volunteering with SAT Math through Brooklyn College on Saturdays and I am a part time bartender around the Park Slope area. When I am not busy working, I enjoy cycling, playing video games, and just kicking it back with friends.

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.

I'm a scholar of history, and educating the youth is my deep and abiding passion. I work as a high school teacher in Boston and I have extensive experience teaching social studies and English language arts, as well as prepping my students for college admissions exams. I look forward to working with you to achieve your potential and find the success you've been looking for in your academic pursuits!

In regards to English language, I would be happy to help you with your college application essays. I recently graduated from Cornell University and am current a graduate student in Columbia University's Graduate School for English.Throughout my undergraduate studies, I have helped many students formulate and write their personal statement. Additionally, I have written many of my own personal statements which have helped me gain university admission and scholarship. Therefore, I understand how stressful it can be to write a personal statement and supplementary statements for colleges.I truly believe a well formulated personal statement can make an application stand out and garner momentum to help colleges view the applicant as an individual rather than gpa data. I will make sure your essay reflects your particularity and illustrate what makes you a great fit for [insert dream school name].In regards to mathematics, I have always loved the subject and have tutored maths and physics for over 8 years up to the AP BC calculus level.I believe mathematics is very easy if taught correctly. Teachers and professors who have been teaching a math for many years may grow accustomed to their own teaching styles. Therefore, they may assume that a student remembers a specific concept, and rather than going over said concept, they hastily build upon misunderstood fundamentals.When I was in university, I understand that maths can be challenging for a lot of people because teacher and professors may explain math as if they are talking to other mathematicians. Teachers often do not realized that their students are new to math and are not yet scholars.Please feel free to reach out to me. I look forward to working with you.

I am an undergraduate Cornell University. I will receive my Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences and Psychology with a minor in French. Since graduation from high school, I have tutored children from various education systems as a part of REACH and college students by being an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Physics. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, I always see the most improvement in prepping for the Math and Science portions of the exams. I am a firm supporter of learning, believing that it is absolutely important for a better quality of life, and I strive to give all of my students this respect. I love sketching which enriches my life, dancing, running and tennis in my spare time.

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.

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 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.

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 am currently a sophomore at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, majoring in Human Development with a minor in Education. I tutor a variety of subjects, I am the most passionate about English. I have previously tutored high school English, focusing on thesis development, grammatical skills, and creative writing. My experience creating weekly curriculums for students in preschool through 12th grade as an activity facilitator for Chautauqua Institution allowed me to refine many of my teaching skills. I was especially enthusiastic about my lessons on poetry and nature literature. Although my interest in teaching began in high school, my Education minor has given me more hands-on experience working with students. The minor has also introduced me to new teaching methods, as I have been able to dissect education theory and policy. In my free time, I read a lot of non-fiction, draw, and watch the West Wing.

I am a graduate of Cornell University with a BS in Biological Sciences, where I started tutoring students one-on-one in calculus. Since then, I have also served multiple times as a teaching assistant, both at the undergraduate and graduate level. Currently as a MS student at the University of Illinois, I tutor online, mainly for high school and college students in math and science. Understanding beats memorization every time! Understand the "why" and "how" of the topic; don't just memorizing facts. This is especially important for FRQs, word problems, and more advanced topics that require analysis of the material, beyond simple regurgitation of lectures. No question is too small to make sure that the foundational and basic knowledge is solid. I always have fun tutoring. I love the topics I teach, and I'm sure you will too!

Hi, I'm Silas! I currently tutor SAT, chemistry, and math. My tutoring background mainly comes from high school; I was a core member of my school's math center and writing center, where I helped my peers tackle challenging homework problems and review tricky concepts. In college, I lead group study sessions for honors general chemistry and honors organic chemistry courses as well. Feel free to reach out!

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 graduate of Cornell University, and I received my Bachelor of Sciences in Human Development with a minor in theater. I am currently a Kindergarten teacher through Teach for America in New York City, and working towards a Masters in the Art of Teaching. Throughout college, I had various tutoring and classroom experience, including tutoring 3rd and 8th graders in English, as well as volunteering in Pre-K through 3rd grade classrooms. I also tutored college students in Introductory Psychology. I have experience with students with special needs, including ADHD and Autism. I am incredibly passionate about education and developing the next generation of inquisitive and enthusiastic learners. I believe that social-emotional learning is crucial for academic success, and that tutoring should be fun and include student choice/interest. In my spare time, I enjoy theater, dance, comedy, and music.

Hi there! I look forward to teaching you some science and French. I am from a little island off the coast of Madagascar called Mauritius.I came to college here the University of Pennsylvania where I studied Bioengineering and Economics with a Mathematics Minor. Thereafter, I was worked in neuroimaging at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia before attending Cornell for my Masters in Biomedical Engineering.I now live in NYC after helping to create a biomedical analytics company here and I planning to enter a PhD program next.My teaching experience spans 5 years of tutoring Mathematics in high school West Philadelphia as well as at Penn. I try to be as granular as possible with explanations and believe in hands on teaching with tons of activities and exercises on site. If you don't understand something, chances are that you faced convoluted explanations that left you more confused! Don't worry, I always insist on understanding all the steps.

Tests are just one way to take a student’s measure. I believe in going beyond the test and teaching the subjects. With an infectious enthusiasm for science, I help students synthesize topics across different disciplines until it all makes sense. Building from a strong foundation, each of my students can then develop effective academic strategies and succeed.I am a recent Bachelor of Science from Cornell University, where my studies revolved around applying life science research to health and social studies. I have served as an undergraduate teaching assistant for several courses, and specializes in 1-on-1 tutoring for introductory biochemistry. Biochemistry is my favorite because of how many other disciplines it synthesizes. After achieving a 38 on the MCAT (99.1%), I began mentoring students on test preparation strategies.While planning to apply to medical school, I spend my time as a clinical research aide and a lead organizer for New York's Be The Match 5K Fundraiser. I also love dancing, weight lifting, and cooking.

I am a Cornell University graduate and I have been teaching math for 15 years. I also have a Master's Degree in Math Education. I am currently a high school math teacher. I have taught math from the elementary to the college level. I also specialize in tutoring both the SAT and ACT math. I have helped students to increase their scores dramatically. I make math fun and easy to learn :) !

I began pursuing my D.V.M. degree at the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine after graduating from Eastern Michigan University in 2012 with a degree in Biology. Following my first year of vet school I decided to take some time off to study advanced Mandarin Chinese at Tsinghua University in Beijing with other Mandarin speaking students from around the world. I currently work as a professional Medical Mandarin Chinese interpreter while continuing my second year of veterinary studies at Cornell. My teaching experience is diverse, ranging from leading English classes in Beijing China to running a Medical Mandarin Chinese course for vet students at Cornell University. I have also worked with students taking high school and college level biology and Chinese courses.My favorite subject to tutor is Mandarin Chinese, because I know exactly how to help new or experienced learners advance their skills rapidly and efficiently and I really enjoy seeing students make breakthroughs on the way to fluency in Chinese. Between the four tones of spoken Mandarin and the 4,000 plus characters there are plenty of obstacles to overcome when learning Mandarin Chinese. I enjoy using innovative methods to provide tips and reveal patterns in Chinese language that help students make the learning process not only more intuitive but also enjoyable. As a tutor I consider each students learning style and needs unique and work specifically to come up with goals that address areas of interest and to tackle particularly challenging issues within each subject.

I graduated from Cornell University with a double major in Math and Physics. I am a prospective Math PhD student with research interests in geometry and mathematical physics. I have 1 year experience as a teaching assistant in mechanics and multivariable calculus. I have had multiple tutoring experiences beginning in high school with honors physics and now including calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, E&M, and quantum mechanics.I hope to help students develop both the tools to become independent learners and the confidence to face difficult problems head-on. I will work hard to ensure that students learn efficient study habits, develop proper problem-solving techniques, and gain an intuition for the mathematical and physical ideas they will encounter.I believe the best way to learn is by doing problems, and the best way to understand is by iteratively building on simple ideas. My tutoring approach will follow similarly to how I approached my undergraduate and graduate level courses. We will solve many problems and more importantly identify and classify the central ideas unique to each problem. We will make an honest effort to see how each new idea we learn fits in context with preceding ideas we have u

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 PhD student in Chemistry at the University of Windsor. I did both my Undergraduate and Master's degree in Chemistry at the University of Windsor as well. I also did a year and a half of course/research work at Cornell University. I am interested in the academic field and hope to one day hold a position in the academic world to do groundbreaking research and teach the next generation of students the very fundamentals of Chemistry. I love teaching and I have been doing it since 2011. I have taught many students at different levels and from different backgrounds. I like to make sure that students understand concepts rather than memorize. I take my time explaining concepts and always have examples on the top of my head to help understand different problems in Chemistry.

My goal is not just to help students with a tough class or a standardized test, but also to teach them learning skills they can apply to the next challenge. When you work with me, we're not just practicing algebra (or whatever); we're practicing the kinds of behaviors that will help you succeed in future math classes. I work with students to match their learning style (visual, auditory, learning by doing, etc.).

I am a recent Cornell University graduate (Dec '23) majoring in Biological Sciences with a focus on Genetics, Genomics, and Development. My passion lies in healthcare, as I am currently preparing to attend medical school this upcoming fall. However, I have always had an interest in teaching. I started as a general chemistry TA, supporting students during problem solving sessions. Then, I helped teach our genetics lecture course, coordinating individual and group tutoring sessions that guided students in content application. This position transformed into a leadership role, organizing our teaching team while spearheading an initiative to train fellow teaching assistants in pedagogical techniques that I learned in a course I took on the art of teaching. Lastly, in an ethics of medicine course of non-STEM majors, I prepared and facilitated discussion sections on current topics in personalized medicine. These experiences, combined with my time as a teaching assistant in correctional facilities, helped me grow as a varsity tutor now going into my 4th year on this platform. Given this breadth of experience teaching diverse and unique students, I am eager and excited to support young scientists in any subject related to this field.

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 am currently a student at Otterbein University, working towards my teaching certificate for high school science. I've tutored over 40 students in General and AP Chemistry. I love tutoring because it gives me the chance to provide individualized attention and support to students.

I am graduate of Cornell University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Film and Philosophy with Distinction in all subjects. I have experience teaching software classes for the Motion Picture Editor's Guild, and in teaching creative writing to my peers. I am available to tutor in many subjects, but I am especially passionate about writing and composition; I strongly believe that every person has a story worth telling and I want everyone to have the tools necessary to express themselves. My teaching style is one of patience and encouragement, but does not lose sight of deadlines.I am a lifelong lover of music, drama, and film. I played alto sax in the marching band and pep band at Cornell and was also a DJ at WVBR. I am actively involved in Motion Pictures and Theater in New York, and in my spare time I write and direct a Fantasy-Comedy audio-drama.

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 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.

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 currently a senior at Cornell University, pursuing a major in Industrial Labor Relations and minors in Philosophy as well as Italian. I've been fortunate enough to have teachers and professors throughout my life that were able to convey the importance of education while allowing students to discover their own passions within subjects. This is a method that I have carried with me, that has guided my experiences. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about economics, philosophy, and writing. Outside of the classroom, I do theatre as well as tennis. In my free time, I have an insatiable appetite for reading and writing (my favorite book is Tolstoy's War and Peace).

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!

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.

My name is Rachel and I graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelors of Science in nutritional sciences. I am currently completing a pre-medical post-baccalaureate with plans to attend medical school in 2017. I have 6 years of tutoring experience in various subjects, primarily high school and college level science courses and standardized test preparation. I have a knack for taking seemingly complicated problems and translating them into easy to understand solutions. I like to cater my teaching methods in accordance to my student's learning style so information is better understood and retained. I also like to make learning fun!

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.

My name is Heather. I graduated from Cornell University in 2022 with a major in psychology (minors in philosophy and law), and I am starting graduate school in September of 2024 (PhD in clinical psychology at UMass Boston). Throughout high school, I tutored all subjects at a nearby elementary school. I also tutored another high school student in Spanish, at the request of my Spanish teacher. Before college, I took a gap year to pursue music. During the gap year, I tutored a neighborhood seventh-grade girl in math and writing. Over the years, I have come to better understand how much I enjoy providing one-on-one support to children. I have been particularly successful in helping children who easily get frustrated and lose patience. As a recent student, I would be very excited to help others feel confident in their schoolwork. I understand the stress and frustration that can come with academics, and I would love to help students turn those feelings into pride, confidence, and enjoyment of learning. Please message me if you are interested or would like to learn more! I'd love to meet you.
