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.

I am a junior at Cornell University where I am working toward a Bachelor of Arts in Physics. In the past, I have worked at Kumon as a math and reading tutor. I am most passionate about teaching Math, Physics, and Spanish. I try to bring that passion to each tutoring session so that the lessons are both interesting and enriching. My ultimate goal is simple: when a student is able to explain a topic or even teach it back to me, I am confident that they have truly mastered the material.

I am a sophomore at Cornell University in the School of Industrial and Labor Relations (ILR). I graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School as a Law & Society major, and have lived in Manhattan my entire life. I am also an athlete. I'm currently a third-degree black belt in Taekwondo. I also played baseball and soccer competitively in high school. My main tutoring focus is algebra, which I enjoy teaching because it builds the foundation for success in more advanced math courses. My primary teaching experience comes from working as a lead teacher at NORY, a STEM-based summer camp. In that role, I managed classroom environments for children ages 8-12 while delivering inquiry-driven STEM lessons.

I look forward to working with you!

I graduated with a degree in an interdisciplinary study called Human, Biology, Health and Society with a minor in music. I love exploring and learning about the world through various perspectives and disciplines. I also have a life-long interest in the arts, particularly music and literature. Coming from a diverse background of education and environmental exposure, I understand the challenges of processing new information and approaches to intake and digest them. My emphasis in teaching lies in listening to my students and self-directed application. I am excited to discover how materials in science can help students to understand the world and themselves.

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 graduated from Cornell where I majored in Latin before beginning my pre-medical post-baccalaureate studies at Columbia. I greatly enjoy helping students of all ages to understand concepts, just as I have at Columbia where I would frequently guide my fellow peers through physics problems. I want to help students feel the "Ah ha!" moment of grasping a concept and breaking complex problems down to simple solutions. As a former swimmer and triathlete, I enjoy keeping physically fit. In my spare time, I enjoy playing guitar as well!

Education has been one of my main passions since I was young and would play school with my little brother. I recently graduated from Cornell University where I received my Bachelors of Science with a major in Atmospheric Science and dual minors in Climate Change and Applied Economics. At Cornell, I was the Education & Outreach Chair for our Meteorology Club. I look forward to working with you on anything science or math. My specialties include physical sciences (Earth Science, Environmental Science, Physics) and math (algebra, pre-calculus, calculus, statistics). Since graduating, I have taken a job as a substitute teacher and a part-time meteorologist! My tutoring style is generally for me to do an example then allow you to try before giving away any answers. My personal favorite subject to tutor is Earth Science because I get to use my background in meteorology! Outside of tutoring, I enjoy attending concerts, cooking/baking, biking, and DJing. I'd love to hear about some of your favorite bands!

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.

My name is Ankitha, and I am a recent graduate from Cornell University with a background in public policy and data science. I have a strong passion for teaching and enjoy helping students build confidence in subjects that can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially math, statistics, and economics. I have prior experience tutoring Statistics and Economics, and I take a clear, step-by-step approach to teaching that focuses on understanding concepts rather than memorization. I adapt my explanations to each student's learning style and aim to make lessons engaging, approachable, and practical. I also enjoy teaching middle school math, where I focus on strengthening foundational skills and helping students feel comfortable asking questions and working through problems at their own pace.

I tutor because it is fun and rewarding. I love sharing my knowledge with others and help students get past learning hurdles. I have more than 5 years of tutoring experience and experience tutoring elementary students all the way up to college students.Currently I am a sophomore at Cornell University studying neuroscience as my major and math as my minor. Even at college I have continued tutoring. I am on the E-board for our tutoring club. I also lead a study section for college students currently taking Comparative Physiology.For Varsity Tutors I tutor in the following subjects: biology, psychology, algebra, geometry, calculus, Latin, statistics, test prep, essay editing, writing, and reading.

I am a current sophomore at Cornell University pursuing a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering. I have done extensive coursework in biology, physics, chemistry, math, and lab sciences. I love applying engineering problem-solving skills to the biological sciences. For the past year, I have been a teaching assistant for introductory biology classes. In my free time, I participate in cancer immunotherapy research which focuses on melanoma.

I am a great tutor because I am excited to share knowledge, yet patient and understanding of different students. As a college student, I was a peer counselor, in which I empathetically and nonjudgmentally provided emotional support to others who were struggling with an issue. With these skills, I am comfortable with leading a student through academic material while minimizing frustration and confusion. Furthermore, my undergraduate training in human development allows me to confidently work with others whom are different ages and cultures. These skills help me communicate with a diverse population and serve as positive support through academic challenges.

I am a recent graduate of Cornell University where I majored in Industrial and Labor Relations. Additionally, I minored in International Relations, Law and Society, Latin American Studies and Business. I first gained experience in tutoring working with younger children at a private tutoring company. It was exciting to see them improve and make great strides on a weekly basis. My personal favorite subjects as a student were history and english, but I find helping students who struggle with math equally as gratifying. I also enjoy tutoring for standardized exams such as the SAT because of how easy it is for students to improve once they are taught techniques and begin to practice them. As the son of a teacher I was always taught that education was vital and necessary to succeed. I passionately believe this and in tutoring try my best to give students the tools so that they could garner the most out of their education. My favorite hobbies include traveling, reading, and going to the gym.

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 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.

I'm currently a researcher in the biomedical field with my B.S in Biomedical Engineering from Cornell University. With several years of tutoring experience under my belt, and a long journey of figuring out my own techniques for studying and retaining vital classroom knowledge, I have a tool belt ready of methods to succeed in the classroom. Additionally, I have worked with students on all sides of the learning/comprehension spectrum and will help your child gain the confidence and skills necessary for long term success!

Hi! I'm a Cornell-educated tutor who enjoys helping students succeed in biology, genetics, and other science subjects.

My aim is to make learning less stressful and more enjoyable while helping students develop the skills they need to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.

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 recently graduated magna cum laude with honors from Messiah University (located near Harrisburg, PA) with a B.S. in biochemistry (ACS certified). This fall I will be starting a biochemistry Ph.D. at Cornell University. While a student at Messiah, I served as a supplemental instruction leader for general chemistry courses. This involved sitting in on the lectures and holding two 90 minute review sessions each week in which I would create worksheets and activities to help students to learn and retain the information from the course. I really enjoy working with students in chemistry and biology courses, as I love sharing my passion for science with others. Furthermore, I believe that students have different learning styles and as a tutor it is my job to accommodate whichever learning style best suits each student. I value getting to know my students on a personal level as well as an academic level in order to best help them succeed. Outside of academics, I'm an avid distance runner, love hiking and being outside, listening to music, and doing jigsaw puzzles.

Hi y'all! I'm a senior at Cornell University with a strong background in biology, math, SAT, writing, and study skills.

As a passionate educator with a Master's degree in Statistics from Cornell University, I have over 2 years of tutoring and classroom experience in subjects such as Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Statistics. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and engage deeply with the material. I believe that every student has unique strengths, and I strive to tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. Witnessing my students achieve their academic goals is what drives my passion for tutoring. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy exploring data visualization techniques and staying updated on the latest statistical methods, which I often incorporate into my lessons to make complex concepts more accessible and engaging.

I have been an educator for over 8 years and my areas of specialization are English, Literature, U.S. History, and Drama. My teaching background primarily involves working with elementary school age children, but I have also conducted workshops for middle schoolers and taught adult learners. I have been a camp counselor for five- and six-year olds, supervised an after school program for first and second graders, prepped kids for a Spelling Bee, directed a drama club for high school students, and conducted acting workshops. At Cornell University, I obtained my BS in Industrial and Labor Relations at the ILR School (also known as the I Love to Read School) with a major in ILR and a minor in Education. As an Education minor, I gained experience working with students with diverse learning styles doing fieldwork as a teacher in the Ithaca area. I was also an enthusiastic member of a sketch comedy group and have acted in films. My passions are voice acting, reading, and teaching young students to master their work so they gain confidence and pride in their abilities. I believe my strength as an educator is the ability to connect with students where they are and to make learning fun and engaging.

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 graduated from Cornell University in 2016 with dual bachelor degrees in biological engineering and biological sciences. Within biology, I concentrated in computational biology with an additionally strong focus in ecology and ecological applications of computation. I am currently working on my doctorate in Environment and Resources at Wisconsin-Madison, studying tiger ecology and conservation with sub-field foci on predator ecology, and modeling population dynamics.My tutoring strategy is to tackle topics of highest combined difficulty and priority first, and to do so in a manner that accommodates both myself and my student. I've found in past teaching experiences that the most rewarding and meaningful results come from direct engagement with students, and so that is what I aim to do. I've had experience with several modes of teaching and learning, and I am confident that I can successfully adapt my style to any student's needs.

I'm currently an undergraduate at Cornell University studying Biology. During a semester long break from working towards my Bachelor in Arts, I tutored Math to young students at Best In Class Education Center in Fort Bend, Texas. Prior to that teaching experience, I also tutored SAT Math. I was recruited shortly after taking the SAT myself, so it was a fresh and exciting experience for me. I currently tutor a variety of academic and test preparation subjects. I'm passionate about helping students because I have had some difficulty with certain subjects myself, and I understand the frustration of what that is like. My experience with High School Physics made me an advocate of getting help when it's needed. After seeking out assistance, I went from consistently struggling with the subject to graduating as Best Physics Student. I'm a firm proponent of the idea that with enough help, anyone can improve as drastically as I did. In my spare time, I enjoy painting, running and exploring.

My teaching specialties include Biology, Psychology, the Life Sciences, Reading, Writing, and preparation for verbal and writing test sections. I studied Biology at Cornell University, graduating with Honors in 2009, and earned a Master's in Psychology from the University of Chicago in 2010. I currently tutor students ranging from elementary to high school in critical reading and analytical writing, both as part of SAT prep and in the context of English and Social Studies classwork. I have a long history of teaching, starting with tutoring students in the introductory biology lecture at Cornell after I earned an A+ in the class. My passion for science education led me to volunteer with Roots and Shoots, an environmental education organization, to teach hands-on workshops for young children at the local science center about topics such as flower anatomy, animal tracks, and the popular 'egg drop'. I was also a peer counselor and trained incoming counselors, which involved teaching in front of large groups and leading small-group exercises. For my Master's thesis research, I became a research assistant at the Lincoln Park Zoo, studying the behavior of chimpanzees and gorillas. I frequently interacted with zoo guests as I collected my data and enjoyed teaching them about ape behavior, care, and conservation. Most recently, I took on students in my hometown of West Windsor, NJ as I prepared my Master's thesis for publication in a scientific journal.Motivating the next generation to be enthusiastic scholars and engaged citizens is one of my primary goals. I am particularly adept at communicating complex ideas, and I am eager to share this skill with younger students. In college I took several writing-intensive classes in my biology major, and I further honed my writing skill in my undergraduate Honor's thesis and my Master's thesis, which has been published. I scored very highly in the verbal and writing sections on the SAT and GRE, and I am well-placed to help your student improve his or her score as well as better comprehend and communicate his or her own ideas.

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.).

Student at Cornell University dedicated to helping you learn in the way you're most comfortable with!

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.

Hello! My name is Adrienne, I am a Cornell University alum, former 8th grade math and science teacher, and current youth worker.

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.

I am a current undergraduate student at Cornell University. I began tutoring 4 years ago because I am passionate about helping students become confident in their academic skills and reach their academic goals. Each session with a student consists of consistent, guided instruction that fosters independence and confidence in their skills. While I can instruct in many subjects, I love to tutor in math and English.

I recently graduated from college with a degree in engineering. Although it was taxing at times, an education in engineering allows students to draw connections between the theoretical realm of math or science with the physical world. I hope to create this context for the students that I tutor. Also, while I love learning and teaching subjects in math and science, I have a passion for language as well.

I'm a Cornell University alumnus with a BA in Philosophy and Mathematics. My minor was Linguistics. Currently, I'm finishing an MSc in Logic from the University of Amsterdam. I tutor math, chemistry, logic, philosophy, English, Latin, and ACT prep. During my senior year, I was an undergraduate course assistant for Calculus I at Cornell, grading homework and conducting weekly homework study groups. I also taught courses on the philosophy of physics, mnemonics, and category theory to middle school students for a program called Splash. While living in Amsterdam, I was the TA for an introductory cognitive science course that included propositional logic and formal language theory. I took pride in giving highly detailed responses to students' questions, providing concrete examples and analogies to more familiar topics. My teaching philosophy is one of kindness, optimism, and patience. Also, I like to make my lessons as entertaining as possible, which is not difficult because I can be a goof even when it's not intentional. I can break complex topics down to their atoms. I never skip steps or assume that something is understood without confirmation. I try to see everything from your perspective. Most importantly, I work hard. I will go the extra mile to help you. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy writing stories and music. I spend about 2 hours every day exercising, and I love being outdoors!

I was a straight A student in high school, graduate Cum Laude from Stony Brook University, and went on to attend Cornell University for my MBA. Currently I'm a start-up consultant. I've always enjoyed teaching, however, that's why I like tutoring. I've a teaching assistant many times over, both in undergrad and grad school. I've also been a private tutor since high school. My goal is help you achieve, if not exceed your own. I believe in using a student's background and interests to help them understand concepts they may not grasp upon first review. I'm always available as a resource online when there in person. I really do enjoy tutoring, and I can't wait to be yours.

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!

Throughout my academic and professional careers, I have always enjoyed mentoring younger individuals through activities like tutoring and advising. During my undergraduate career at Cornell University, I served as an orientation leader and student adviser for classmates in my major. While pursuing my MBA at Columbia Business School, I participated in the Harlem Tutorial Program, where I worked across a range of subjects with elementary and middle school students. I enjoy finding new ways to help others through my own knowledge and experience, and always try to use methods that resonate most with the specific person I am working with.

I am currently a doctoral student at St. Johns University, working towards obtaining a Psy.D. in School Psychology. I graduated from Cornell University, where I studied Child Development. I absolutely love working with students of all ages. I have the most experience working with preschoolers with autism, but have also worked with adolescents with various behavioral difficulties. For the last few years, I have tutored college-age students in several subjects including Psychology, English and Statistics. I took the GRE fairly recently so I feel very comfortable tutoring students to prepare for that exam, as well as the ACT. My graduate program is designed to prepare me to work with students of all ages and all ability levels, so I feel confident that I can help a variety of clients. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, dancing, playing tennis, and doing crossword puzzles.
