I went to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for college and studied biochemistry. I was interested in the fusion of chemistry and biology because I was lucky enough to have two incredible high school teachers in those subjects. I wanted to understand how cells talk to one another or take on unique identities within the body. These questions led me to study cell biology at Duke University where I earned a Masters in 2017. My experiences in grad school have caused me to value the clear communication of science, a skill I'm always trying to work on.I've left lab, for the time being, to focus on my other passion, rowing. I train full time with the US National Team and love being an elite athlete. I began rowing in college after I grew up swimming and playing other sports. I still love finding science in the real world and explaining it to my teammates or anyone else who will listen.

My name is Kimanthi Gicovi and I am currently a first-year medical school student. Prior to med school, I graduated from Duke University with a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering and received my Master's degree in Biomedical Studies from Drexel College of Medicine. I have over 6 years of experience tutoring individual students and also worked as a teaching assistant at the graduate school level. I am passionate about teaching and working with students. I have experience working with high school, college and graduate students and have a subject expertise that include Biology, Physics, Math, Physiology, Biochemistry.My approach to tutoring is focused on helping students build a strong foundational understanding of concepts, strengthening their ability to critically think and apply their knowledge.In my personal time, I enjoy traveling, cooking and exploring 3D printing as a hobby.

Hi! I'm a STEM student who loves making hard concepts click. I tutor all levels of Chemistry, Biology and SAT math, with two years of math tutoring experience and 1.5 years focused specifically on the SAT. I prepped pretty hard for the SAT myself, so I know exactly which problems are traps and which shortcuts actually work. Expect difficult questions, real understanding, and a tutor who knows what it's like to struggle with math before it starts making sense. Let's work together!

Certified Teacher. Hi! My name is Lukas Brazdeikis and I have a strong background in computer science, physics, math, and designing course material. I will help your student learn as effectively as I can while also showing them the practical value of the knowledge they learn. I recently graduated from Duke University with a Master's in computer engineering. I also have an education minor from my undergrad. My course load has included computer science, computer skills, physics, math, chemistry, biology, geology, history, English, and business. I have plenty of experience in teaching and designing course content. I have designed my own 30-hour online course and have excellent communication and motivation skills. My advanced degree tells you I have the academic background to teach most STEM or business subjects depending on the age range. My teaching style is focused on being effective. I am effective by learning what motivates my students, finding ways to personalize teaching material, and demonstrating the practical value of the knowledge they learn. I specialize in the following: GRE quantitative,high school math, high school computer science, and college computer science.

I'm Rob! I graduated from Duke University in 2016 with a double major in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Economics. I've been a math teacher in the DOE for the last 2 years and have a Master's of Arts in Teaching. I specialize in high school math and test prep for the ACT, SAT, and GRE.As a math teacher for the last 2 years, I've found that students often aren't given enough time in the classroom to fully grasp new concepts before moving on to new material. This often leads to "gaps" in their knowledge, which are hard to fill without providing them with 1-on-1 help. This is how I can benefit my students the most, by providing the the 1-on-1 attention they need. When I start with a new student, I first work to identify the gaps in their knowledge, and then methodically fill in those gaps to help them reach a stronger conceptual understanding.I want to help my students as much as possible. As part of my approach, I like to understand my students' long term academic or professional goals to make sure I'm working with them in a way that's most beneficial to those goals.I live in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. I'm can do remote sessions or in-person. Please contact me if you would like to set up a free 15 minute consultation!

I graduated from Duke University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Psychology and minor in Chemistry. When I graduated, I decided to take some time off before medical school, so I completed my Master's in the Science of Health Care Delivery at Arizona State University. Right now, I am in the midst of the medical school admissions process, but hopefully, it will conclude soon. I have a comprehensive understanding of subjects ranging from the social sciences to math. As a tutor, I want to instill confidence into my students. I want them to not only material itself, but I also want my students to find the best learning methods to be successful in their academic work and beyond.

Tutoring was a central fixture of my extracurricular life during high school and college prior to my entering the business world as an entrepreneur. I missed the experience of instructing and mentoring in the years since I last tutored, and out of a desire to recapture the sense of fulfillment that comes with being a teacher, I began privately SAT tutoring in the local area a few months ago and was reminded of how well suited my personality and my intellectual curiosity are to teaching. I always loved taking standardized tests; I thought of the problems as fun puzzles. And I love sharing that outlook and enthusiasm with students who are trying to improve their SAT performance. I find it completely invigorating to see students grasping the concepts that underlie the problems we work through together, and it is so fun to develop a unique relationship with each pupil. There really is such nuance to helping each student overcome his or her unique set of test taking-related challenges, and I think it's a captivating experience each time.

I am a third-year college student enrolled in a rigorous international program and I will graduate with two bachelor's degrees in 2023. One degree will be from Duke University and one will be from Duke Kunshan University in Kunshan, China. I received a full-tuition scholarship to attend Duke Kunshan University. I spent my freshman year studying in China, and I now live and study on Duke's campus in Durham, North Carolina. I have always been a strong student, with a current 3.94 GPA in college. I earned a 1510 on my SAT and am great at SAT tutoring as well as editing college application essays. I am also proficient in Spanish as a second language, and have experience tutoring Spanish language learners as well as Spanish-speaking English language learners. I have more than 3 years of tutoring experience working with children ages 7 up to adults. As a tutor, I consider myself knowledgable, motivated, and patient.

I am a rising senior at Duke University majoring in Psychology and minoring in English. I first started tutoring when I was 10; I'd explain new words in books to my little sister and help her with cursive, work on times tables with my older brother, and teach the little bit of English I knew to my immigrant parents. I tutored students in my middle school through a counseling program, helped deaf and disabled students develop social and creative skills, and freelance tutored throughout high school, and have tutored Spanish-speaking immigrant families (ages 6-12) in Durham, NC since October 2018. Other teaching experiences include training my dog to go down a slide on command and teaching my 10th-grade precalculus teacher how to hand whistle. Though I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and Writing. I believe reading and writing are not only complex forms of thinking, but avenues for understanding someone else's unique perspective and ways of being in life. I have the most fun helping my students dissect arguments and meaning from texts, especially when it's in Spanish, my native language. When I'm not tutoring, I most likely am listening to music, playing board games with my family, or looking at cat videos online.

I started tutoring fellow students when I was in high school. When I got to Duke, I had the opportunity to tutor at a local middle school. I have tutored a variety of subjects, but my favorite subject to tutor is math because of how much I enjoy it. I think that a tutor's enjoyment for a subject can directly impact how the student feels about it. If I can help a student become less frustrated with a subjects concepts, learn how to stay organized and keep up with their work, I know I have done my job well. I personally love to learn and even after having graduated, I am constantly looking for opportunities to learn new things. Additionally, in my spare time I enjoy reading, board games, and rock climbing. I am excited to work as a tutor once again in order to give students a chance to learn one-on-one to get a deeper and more clear understanding of their study material. By having the ability to clear up confusion with material every week via a tutor, the student will find it easier in the future to build on these concepts and to keep up with work as it gets more challenging.

I am currently an undergraduate student at Duke University. I plan on pursuing a B.S. in statistical science with a minor in music. During my time in high school, I taught saxophone to middle school students. I would be happy to tutor various math subjects such as SAT Math, calculus I (AP Calculus AB), algebra, and pre-algebra. I would also be happy to teach saxophone and music theory and work on college application essays.

I am a graduate of Duke University with a degree in Health Policy and Education Policy. While at Duke University I was a student athlete, participated in the leadership of several clubs and service groups; as well as, working as a Math and Reading tutor. After graduation I spent a year pursing a business venture allotted to me through the Elevator Pitch Competition, my senior year of college, which I won in my category - Non-Profits. After that year, I joined the Teach for America Fellowship, where I fell in love with teaching. The Teach for America Fellowship is 2 years; however, after my first year due to the recognition and growth in my classroom I was invited to start a school. I spent 2 years at that school prior to getting married and moving to California, a few months ago, with my amazing, aerospace loving, husband.Moving out here I knew I didn't want to go back into the classroom, but I wanted to find ways to support teachers and students, as they work toward reaching their goals. I decided to jump back into tutoring. Tutoring allows me to work with students whose needs aren't being met fully in the classroom and the supplement the handwork that each teacher puts into the education plans of their students. I have been tutoring all types of students from Special Needs to Gifted for 9 years. I have a ton of strategies for a variety of subjects and have seen my students grow leaps and bounds in confidence, skill, and ability.I love the challenge of uncovering a child's weaknesses, creating the opportunity for them to discover what they are capable of, and the excitement of seeing their faces light up once they realize, they can do it. Nothing brings me more joy then seeing children walk in the fullness of their potential.

I'm a recent Duke grad with experience in Resume Writing, Statistics, Mandarin Chinese, Art History, and Math. I'll be available starting in July through August to tutor. In September, I'll be pursuing my Masters Degree in London at the Sotheby's Institute of Art.

I have been a personal tutor and have also taught in group settings for over 5 years covering topics ranging from math and science to Korean and computer science. This emphasized the importance of being adaptable and using different teaching methods for different pupils.My philosophy is positive reinforcement as a motivational technique and a way to bond with the student.

I have tutored students for the GMAT, GRE, SAT, ACT and LSAT for more than 15 years. I love it! As I tailor my instructions toward the unique needs of each student, my goal is to improve not only the student's performance but also the student's confidence as test day approaches.

I am rising junior at Duke University studying biomedical engineering and mathematics. Since junior year of high school I have really enjoyed tutoring students. I have been fortunate to tutor students of many ages, ranging from freshman in high school to juniors in college. I am most passionate about mathematics, engineering, and anything STEM essentially. I really believe that the reason students don't like these subjects is because they have had a rough initial experience studying these topics. I believe that with the right guidance and tutoring, everyone can appreciate STEM and understand why it is so crucial in our daily lives. In my free time, I love to run, play basketball, and watch movies.

I love to laugh.I am interested in reading, writing, gems and minerals, nature, travel, and hiking. I love animals.

I find my success in helping others to succeed and reach their goals. My main objective as a tutor is to empower my students and guide them toward their own success by instilling confidence in them. I understand that every student has their own learning style as well as unique passions, strengths and interests. I aim to get to know my students individual strengths and passions in order to make the material interesting and meaningful for them. I believe in an individual's creativity and I create individualized and personal lessons based on what kind of learner a student is. I believe that education is power and that the best way to empower someone is to teach them.I grew up in Long Island, New York and graduated high school with an IB Diploma in 2010. After high school, I headed down south to North Carolina where I studied at Duke University. I created my own interdisciplinary major and graduated in May 2014. During my time in college, I was lucky to spend a semester studying in South Africa at the University of Cape Town and return to the country the next summer to conduct independent research. After graduating from Duke, I accepted an international teaching position with WorldTeach. I was very grateful for the experience to live on the island of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia for a year and teach reading and writing to high school juniors and seniors. Although my formal experience is working with high school aged students, I have background experience working with younger students, as well. I have experience teaching reading and literature, essay, creative and persuasive writing as well as public speaking. I am also experienced in teaching test preparation and test-taking strategies, resume and personal statement preparation, and leadership. Further, I am an experienced researcher and editor. I am an avid reader and a skilled writer. I aspire to help my students feel confident and positive about their education and future.

Hello! My name is Charlie, and I am a student at Duke University studying Economics and Computer Science. I specialize in tutoring high school math (from Algebra through Calculus) and SAT prep. My tutoring style is flexible and low-pressure. I focus on building real understanding, not just memorizing steps. Whether you're preparing for a big exam or just trying to keep up with class, I'll meet you where you are and adjust each session to your pace and learning style. Looking forward to meeting you!

I am a Duke alum currently working toward a Master of Science in Narrative Medicine at Columbia University. As a pre-med student who majored in African and African American Studies, I have experience navigating a variety of disciplines. I also have experience tutoring in a number of subject areas, and have worked with diverse sets of students who have varied in age, grade level, and coursework. I began tutoring almost seven years ago working with disadvantaged students on mathematics. Since then, I have constructed curriculum for a program for middle school girls, and spent a semester training in preparation to be writing tutor at Duke’s writing center which serves graduate and undergraduate students across disciplines. I have a love for learning, and an appreciation for the richness that a interdisciplinary education provides. Helping others better understand their course materials, and, in turn, themselves as life-long learners, is a truly enriching experience.

I graduated from Princeton University in May 2015 with my Bachelor's in Biology. In May 2016, I graduated from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University with a Masters in management Studies. My education background is extremely diverse and promotes strong critical thinking and problem solving skills in various contexts.I began tutoring while a student at Princeton University. There, I tutored underclassmen while on campus as well as high school and middle school students from my hometown. I thoroughly enjoy tutoring individuals of all ages.At Princeton, I took two math courses, four Spanish courses, and a variety of science courses.My Masters degree program was all-encompassing and included courses on accounting, financial analysis, and corporate strategy.

I am committed to making tutoring fun and beneficial for all my students. I graduated magna cum laude from my high school as salutatorian in 2018, with distinction from Duke University with a B.S. in neuroscience in 2022 and am an incoming graduate student at Columbia University. Although each of my academic experiences posed different challenges, one thing made me successful at each stage- my zeal for learning. In my experience as a tutor and in my future endeavors, I want to impart this excitement for learning to each of my students. In tutoring sessions, I introduce topics in fun and engaging ways while thoroughly teaching key concepts and important skills. I then give students the opportunity to personally engage with the material by exploring and problem-solving. I adapt my approaches for each students' particular learning style, strengths, and weaknesses to make them excel in their desired subjects and excited about learning.

My name is Luke and I graduated from Duke University in 2018. After investing a year studying for the LSAT, I scored in the 99.9th percentile.After dedicating so much time and effort studying for the exam and tutoring many others as well, I understand the LSAT inside-and-out. While preparing for the exam, I used nearly every prep material available and developed a consistent and highly-accurate approach to solving each section of the exam. I truly enjoy teaching and helping others succeed. And I'm happy to share my insight with others currently studying for the exam.

Hello everyone! It's Devanshi and I am so excited to get to work with you. I am a student at Duke University and love academia! My favorite parts about teaching are how much I get to learn, which I think is amazing, and getting to serve others through education.

Hey, I'm John, and I'm currently a rising junior at Duke University studying Economics and Political Science. I scored a 1570 (800 math, 770 EBRW) on my SAT, and have helped numerous personal friends and family friends improve their SAT scores through personalized tutoring. All of my students have scored above a 1450, and one student I worked with jumped from 1140 to 1550 in three months (a 410-point increase). Whatever your starting point, I focus on finding exactly where you're losing points and building a plan around those specific gaps. Outside of tutoring, I spent last summer as an investment banking summer analyst at Lazard, and I'm an incoming 2027 summer business analyst at McKinsey & Company in New York City.

As much as I see myself as a qualified, knowledgeable tutor, I think it's just as important for me to motivate, lead, inspire, and mentor my students. Do you have test anxiety? Math anxiety, specifically? Is it difficult for you to create, organize, and execute a study plan? Or do you simply want straightforward, content-based prep and study help? In either case, I'm excited to help you achieve your academic and standardized test goals.My academic credentials consist of a BA in Political Science and German from the University of Rhode Island, and a Master's degree in Environmental Management from Duke University. I speak German and Spanish. I'm confident tutoring several standardized tests, including SSAT, ISEE, SAT, ACT, and GRE.

I graduated from Duke with double majors in Biology and Spanish and a minor in Chemistry. I have extensive experience working with children of all ages, in both childcare and tutoring. In high school, I launched a book club in a local elementary school, where I helped tutor elementary school students in reading comprehension. I also tutored a middle school student in Spanish and helped improve his knowledge of vocabulary and grammar. Since coming to college, I've continued to help elementary school students with reading, writing, and math.

I am a recent Duke University graduate where I studied Financial Economics. I have extensive experience in tutoring maths and sciences as well as standardized test prep. Outside of work, I love to spend time with my corgi and explore the city of Boston!

Hi! My name is Nima, and I am a rising college sophomore who will be attending Duke University on a full merit scholarship in the fall. I love to run cross country and play the viola, as well as tutoring students in a whole variety of subjects! Feel free to message me!

Hello there! I'm a physician by training and educator with a background in psychology and public health. I earned my B.A. in Psychology from Columbia University and received my M.D. from Duke University School of Medicine. Across clinical training, research, and teaching, I've learned that confidence grows when students feel understood, not rushed. My tutoring style is structured, supportive, and practical. I like to start by identifying what's actually getting in the way (content gaps, test strategy, organization, or anxiety), then build a clear plan with small, doable steps and lots of practice. I aim for sessions that feel calm, focused, and encouraging, with measurable progress each time. Whether you're strengthening fundamentals, preparing for an exam, or building study habits that finally stick, I'll meet you where you are and help you move forward!

As a graduate of Duke University with a B.S. in Biology, I knew I wanted to pursue academia. I continued my studies with a M.S. in Marine Biology at Nova Southeastern University, where I solidified my passion for research and teaching others. Now I'm hoping to help my students get as excited about learning as I always have been! My most recent teaching experience has been with a local marine biology summer camp, where I do my best to get the kids stoked about biology, ecology, environmental science, and conservation. While I feel most passionate about marine biology, I am also qualified to tutor a variety of different subjects. I have taken the SAT 11 different times, and feel very confident teaching standardized test subjects! For me, tutoring is about breaking down difficult subjects into bite-sized pieces for my students to understand. My motto is "baby steps," and I love finding new and personalized ways to make learning fun for my students. Outside of academia I can be found exercising, singing, playing the ukulele, lounging on the beach, or finding new and exciting ways to annoy my cat Mozart.

I have a life-long love of learning, which I Iove to share with others. I have a B.A. in Psychology from the University of South Florida, and two master's degrees in religion from Duke University. I have thirteen years of full-time teaching experience. I can provide tutoring in English, Reading, History, Geography, Government and Politics, and Religious Studies. On the elementary and middle school levels, I can also provide tutoring in Math and Science. I believe that all students have the potential to learn, and I am excited to play a role in helping students achieve their learning potential.

I am a recent magna cum laude graduate of Duke University and a full-time educator in North Carolina. I have a passion for helping young people figure things out and have experience writing professionally.

I am a senior at Duke University, expecting to graduate in May 2020. I have experience tutoring college students in Spanish and biology.I have personally taken many of the important exams needed to get in to college (ACT, SAT and IB) and so can very much understand what students are going through.I primarily tutor biology for high school and first year college students, as well as high school and college Spanish.I believe in letting the students explain the areas they are having difficulty with and working through examples together, before allowing them to show me what they have learnt by completing some examples alone.

I'm a graduate of Duke University where I received a JD and an MA in History. I received my undergraduate degree from Emory University also in History. My legal experience includes working as a summer law clerk for two appellate judges and as a summer associate at a large law firm in New York City. In college and in law school I tutored for a variety of subjects and enjoy working with students one-on-one to tackle and master difficult concepts. In my spare time, I enjoy taking in all that New York has to offer including biking in the park, cooking, and golfing.

I graduated this Spring from Duke University and I'm in the process of applying to Master's programs for marine biology. I've been a motivated and committed student for the past 15+ years and I'm excited to bring my knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion for learning and teaching to all of my tutoring sessions. Although I majored in Biology at Duke, I got a minor in Classical Studies - or ancient Greece and Rome - so I have a pretty diverse educational background. In addition to my studies in college, I was DUMB (a proud member of the Duke University Marching Band) and I conducted research on Hawaiian monk seals. In the future, I hope to participate in more field work with marine mammals and eventually become a professor, so I look forward to incorporating tutoring into my educational track!

Hello! I have teaching experience in Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology for high school. I taught these subjects at Frank W. Ballou Senior High School in Southeast, Washington, DC from 2010-2012. I will be applying to medical school and am looking to use my teaching experience to tutor high school and college students in the area. I graduated from Duke University with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering, with minors in Chemistry and Neuroscience. I also have a Masters of Arts in Teaching High School Science from American University. Please let me know if you need help, I am flexible on hours.

I am a graduate student in the Masters of Interdisciplinary Data Science Program at Duke University. Previously, I worked at Student Support Services in Puerto Rico as a Data Analyst, and, prior to that position, I worked as a Math and English tutor. Throughout my life, I have tutored college kids from less privileged backgrounds, who carry different types of academic and personal struggles, and I empathized a lot with them. I know the feeling of walking in to a classroom and understanding nothing, the void that forms in your head. My goal is for people to understand and learn. Once you learn a concept, nothing can break your foundations.

I have been very fortunate when it comes to learning because I have always found it enjoyable. Not just academic learning but new experiences in general. Growing up I loved school, but it was not until I got to college that I realized how truly lucky I had been in my previous years to have had my dad as my personal tutor. Any time I had a question he was able to help me. I had taken his presence for granted and it was not until I was in college that I realized how good I had it back home. When I got to college I was of the mindset that I knew how to study and that school was the one thing that I did well. It was a severe wake-up call after my first organic chemistry midterm to realize that I needed help studying. My study techniques were not working for me anymore. I sought out my school's tutoring service and it was the single best decision I made during my academic career. Learning from my peers was very eye opening. I realized that we do not all learn the same way and I found that the way in which my professor would explain a concept was not always how it made sense to me. This did not mean I was not going to understand it just meant I needed to find a new perspective. All it would take was a different analogy or a different example problem for said concept to click with me. It was then that I realized that I wanted to be the person that helped someone else understand. I wanted to be someone's resource so that they could continue to pursue their academic goals with the best outcome possible because learning does not follow a strict formula, it is not linear, and I think that schools do not always do a good job of translating that to students.I think I will be a great tutor because I have been on both sides of the coin. I know what it takes to be a good tutor and have had success with my students in the past. I have learned that teaching effectively only happens when the instructor takes the time to learn how the tutee learns, whether it be visually or by hearing it said to them or even by writing it down. All of which are valid forms of understanding and processing information, but are not always the way that the material is taught in class. Tutoring gives me the opportunity to personalize the teaching so that it fits the individual's needs leading to more efficient and effective learning. I plan to develop my student's entire approach to problem solving. This way what they learn has multiple applications and is not subject specific. I will construct a personalized algorithm that they can apply to studying as well as daily homework problems. I believe that effective learning can be taught and developed and with hard work and discipline it can become second nature.
