I am a rising sophomore at Cornell University, majoring in computer science and minoring in math. I am passionate about computer science and mathematics, and I'm particularly interested in machine learning. Additionally, I enjoy learning about history. Currently, I'm self-learning computer architecture and Portuguese. I tutor computer science (Python and Java), History, Algebra through Calculus, and high school English.

I graduated from Cornell University in May of 2017 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics and minors in English and Business. During my senior year, I wrote intersectional analyses of philosophical and modernist texts, attempting to reveal a more critically substantial relationship between the two fields than conventional allegorical implications imply. I currently work as a managing editor and staff writer for a music publication based in Brooklyn, and have significant experience within the music industry having participated in a variety of publishing, PR, label operations, audio production, and commercial radio-related roles. I tutor in English, Economics, and standardized tests, and enjoy assisting students to develop their own creative voices and avenues of interpretation and problem solving. I love walking around the city, reading fiction and philosophy, and writing poetry.

I am a current undergraduate student at Cornell University studying Electrical and Computer Engineering. I have a strong science and math background having taken many courses in Physics, Computer Programming, and various mathematics subjects ranging from Geometry, to Multivariable Calculus, to Differential Equations. I am also very passionate about English, Literature, Russian Studies, Spanish Language, and History. I believe that the key to success is having a well rounded education, so when I am not programming microcontrollers, one can either find me watching Russian news channels to polish up my vocabulary, reading textbooks on the history of the Middle East, or simply immersing myself in a Jane Austen novel. In my free time I also enjoy training for CrossFit, playing the viola, and traveling.I began tutoring in high school as part of my service requirement for the five honor societies that I was a part of, and I immediately fell in love with teaching. Nothing gives me more joy than being there when a student has that "aha" moment, when everything finally comes together and their eyes light up with joy. As a tutor I hope to share my passion for learning and inspire others to achieve their full potential as students.

Cornell University Economics major with strong math skills through high school calculus. I focus on breaking down complex problems into clear, manageable steps while building confidence and independence. My experience supporting first-generation and low-income students has shaped my patient, encouraging teaching style. I am passionate about leveling the playing field and making math accessible and empowering for every student.

Be Fun. Be Empowering. Be Productive. That's my goal in every session and I have the character traits to make sure that happens. I offer students an enjoyable experience with my humor and relevant examples. As a student myself, I know how to encourage students to ensure they feel confident about content and confident applying their knowledge. I have a strong discipline and stay task-oriented so that students leave every session taking a step forward towards mastering their subject.I am currently a senior at Cornell University studying Biology with a concentration on Neurobiology and Behavior. I'm also minoring in business. All that to say, I want to become a doctor, I love to think, and I have the spirit of an entrepreneur!I want to tutor and teach in order to pass on what I've learned and help others learn. I've been the benefactor of tutoring throughout high school and even now in college. I believe it can truly change a student's academic prospect. For me, tutoring goes beyond helping a student solve a problem. It's helping students to enjoy the process of thinking for themselves and struggling through material. I hope that, with this position on Varsity Tutors, I can do that over and over again.

My goal as a teacher is to impart knowledge of the subject matter and enthusiasm for the material to as many students as possible. Making the material enjoyable to students requires employing multiple methods for teaching the subject matter. Each student will approach a subject from a different background, each student will learn most effectively through a different method, and each course will require a different technique.Having served as a teaching assistant at three different universities, I have experience at connecting with students regardless of the campus, class sizes, and student backgrounds. My biggest strength as a teaching assistant and a lecturer has been my ability to connect with students with diverse backgrounds enough so they feel comfortable approaching me with questions or concerns about the material. My students have a diverse range of educational and economic backgrounds, so I have to cater the material accordingly. Classes I have served as a TA for include thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and materials science. I have also taught chemical engineering thermodynamics and tutored ACT/SAT/PSAT prep for high school students, and high school math and science. In addition, I have worked in various biological and engineering labs over the years, so I have technical expertise in many general undergraduate science classes.One of my main goals as an educator is to produce students that both feel confident in their own abilities to do independent work while also knowing when and how to rely on individuals with other skill sets to help fill in the gaps. While my students submit homework and tests individually, projects are conducted as group work, and I encourage students to work collaboratively while solving homework problems. This is to encourage better material understanding and a necessary skill in teamwork, while also making sure students are taking some initiative and are not completely reliant upon their classmates.I hope this gives you a sense for the kind of tutor I will be. Please let me know if you have any questions.

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.

Hi! I'm Mason, a Cornell student who enjoys helping students feel more confident in school. I work best by breaking things down step by step, answering questions without judgment, and making sure students understand the "why" behind an answer instead of just memorizing it. Whether we are working through homework, reviewing for a test, or building stronger study habits, I aim to keep sessions encouraging, clear, and low-stress.

Excited to aid in learning a broad spectrum of subjects, among a broad spectrum of age groups. I love giving advice on standardized testing and college applications. Currently attaining my degree in engineering at Cornell.I have been tutoring for over five years. I think my greatest strength as a college-aged tutor is my ability to reach my clientele as a peer, simply going over concepts and problems like a helpful friend. I strive to level with my students and connect with them as another young person who is also passionate about learning, while maintaining the same professionalism as an instructor.

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.

Hi!My name is Liz and I want to work with you!I enjoy teaching and mentoring. I have worked with undergraduate and high school students extensively over the last several years. I believe learning occurs not when a student first hears the information but when they start using the information. Learning takes reflection and practice enhanced through multi-faceted approaches. My role as a tutor is to provide insight and direction to the learning process. After all, not only have I learned the material once but I have also observed multiple people learn the same material. In addition, through my research experience I have implemented the classroom lessons into real life problems.I enjoy incorporating my research into my teaching/tutoring. I can draw from experiences of commonly misunderstood concepts that cannot be gained from a textbook or other interactive learning modules. Not to say there isn't value in those activities because it allows students to learn/review in their dominant learning style. My role as a tutor is to provide the most useful resources and help students build the right tools to eventually master the subject.I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow at UNC Chapel Hill in the School of Pharmacy. I am developing non viral gene therapy systems for treatment of solid tumors. Before this, I earned my PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. There in addition to research I gained an appreciation of nature. I lived near a waterfall and I have hiked several mountains in the Adirondacks! In undergrad, I studied physics at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. I fell in love with the city and physics and math during my 4 years there. I graduated high school from the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science which is a residential public high school in Mississippi and frequently ranked within the top 500 best high schools in the nation.

I am a undergraduate student at Cornell University. I am studying computer science in the College of Engineering. I have been tutoring in all subjects since 9th grade, mostly computer science and mathematics and SAT. My teaching philosophy is based on hands-on learning, and the motto of 'practice makes perfection'. The more you face the problem head on and break it into smaller pieces, the easier the problem becomes to solve. In my spare time, I like to go outside on runs and play basketball with my friends

I attended Cornell University for my undergraduate degree, and am currently attending Xavier University for my graduate degree in School Counseling and Mental Health Counseling.I have a high interest in math, chemistry, physics and psychology. I majored in psychology at Cornell, and was on track to receive a minor in math. Cornell no longer offered a minor in math my senior year, so I wasn't able to obtain the minor.I am an upbeat and patient tutor. I like to make learning as fun as possible, and I'm constantly learning new things.

I am a sophomore at Cornell University studying Computer Science.I enjoy working with students and for the past two years, I have privately tutored students for standardized tests and through the college application process. I believe that standardized testing is not a direct assessment of a student's academic abilities, but rather their specific abilities as a test-taker; my role as a tutor is to instill time-management skills and provide tips on effectively navigating through these exams in order to enable students to become better test-takers.In the realm of mathematics and computer science however, I believe in a proof-based education and truly understanding why theorems work as they do.

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 just completed my undergraduate degree in mathematics at Cornell University, with a minor in computer science. I will be pursuing a Master of Science in computer science at Cornell for the next two years. Teaching has always been a passion of mine, as has mathematics - and I am always eager to share this excitement with others.

I am a student at Cornell University, expecting to receive my Bachelor of Science in December 2020. I am studying biological sciences with a minor in applied economics, and plan to enter a career in medicine. However, I have a love for learning in all subjects. I have extensive experience as a math tutor both in high school and college, and am eager to help more students in math and science. As a tutor, I hope to be able to make my students appreciate the value of what they are learning and enjoy solving problems independently.

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).

I am a MBA/CMA with over 30 years of both industrial accounting (Controller and CFO) of many midsized industrial companies. I addition I have taught (primarily as an adjunct at both 4 year and community colleges.

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 graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology, Health, and Society. I received a minor in Global Health. While at Cornell, I was a teaching assistant and also spent time tutoring young men for their GED exams and fellow students in Biology and Chemistry. I currently tutor various subjects, but feel most strongly about Biology. I also find that I enjoy tutoring for MCAT preparation, as I understand how difficult the process can be, and wish to help others in the way that my own MCAT tutor helped me.

My first experience with standardized testing was with the SHSAT, which I scored well enough on to attend NYC's prestigious Stuyvesant High School. Four years later, I took the SAT, after a summer of rigorous self preparation, and scored in the 99th percentile in both the Verbal and Math sections.In my academic and professional career, I've found that success is when the right mindset meets hard work and preparation.The beauty of this philosophy is that it does not discriminate against any student; everyone has a best that they should strive for. It's my focus to help each of my students reach that standard with a comprehensive preparation regimen tailored to each individual. Most of all, I am excited to pass down the knowledge and skills I've accumulated to help mentor my students to grow and achieve their goals.

I am passionate about helping students to improve their standardized test scores across the GMAT, SAT and ACT, with a focus on the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. I am also knowledgeable across a variety of corporate finance topics such as M&A, financial accounting and capital markets. I spent several years working with elementary and middle-school aged children as a chess tutor when I was in high school.

Between trips abroad and completing coursework at Teachers College, Columbia University, I had the pleasure of tutoring students from my very own high school on Long Island and neighboring schools in town. After having received an MA in English education, I have relocated to Manhattan and I am eager to continue helping students achieve their academic goals. In particular, I specialize in tutoring all areas of the SAT and ACT, and any type of writing. Of course, whenever I work with students I aim to equip them with the skills I used in developing my mastery of the the material we are studying and the skills I would use to find the best answer choice or to get the sentence, paragraph and essay as a whole just right!

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 love teaching, tutoring and helping people understand science. As an ecologist, I'm always interested in the connections between organisms, other organisms and the abiotic environment. I'm also interested in how humans interact with the non-human environment, especially in caring for ecosystems, protecting ecosystem services, transitioning to a carbon neutral economy, and ethics surrounding these issues. I care about students, particularly high-school and college aged students in the climate generation, and hope to equip my students with the knowledge and tools they need to make a difference in the world. I also absolutely love biology. The adaptations that allow organisms to survive their environments are endlessly fascinating. I hope to meet some of you and to be helpful as you proceed in a life of learning.
