Award-Winning Tutors from Duke University

Hi, I'm Marissa! I scored a 36 on the ACT (100th percentile) and a 521 on the MCAT (98th percentile), and I love helping students achieve their academic goals. I break complex concepts into clear, manageable steps while creating a supportive, encouraging environment where questions are always welcome. My goal is to help you build confidence, strengthen your understanding, and succeed. I look forward to working with you!

I have taught ten different philosophy courses at the university level, plus independent studies and Honors College courses. I also have experience teaching and tutoring the LSAT. Finally, I have experience teaching philosophy to high school students through the North Carolina Governor’s School, East Campus and the Duke Talent Identification Program (TIP), both of which were residential summer programs.I am committed to helping students acquire skills necessary for life-long learning. I prize education as an occasion for student development, discussion, and the refinement of communicative and analytical skills. I enjoy my role as a tutor and I anticipate increasing fulfillment as the scope and depth of my skills are expanded and refined.I understand my role as a tutor to be a facilitator of the academic and intellectual development of students. I firmly believe that students should be provided with opportunities to achieve success every class. Materials should be organized as much as possible to accommodate diverse learning dispositions, so I try to vary my teaching methodology according to the needs of my students. My experience teaching philosophy has helped me develop the crucial ability to awaken the analytical skills and evaluative abilities in students. My goal is to empower students to become responsible, successful, and productive members of a multicultural society.

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.

I have a Ph.d in economics from Florida International University. I also have a masters in economics from Duke University and a B.S. from American University. I have taught economics in colleges and universities for over 20 years concentrating on principles courses which includes all AP econ. courses. I love economics and find it fascinating as every time a decision is made it involves economics and that includes decision on who you date and marry and where you live. When not teaching I love to read. I read a lot of non fiction from authors like Steven Pinker or Malcolm Gladwell. I am also involved in making society more accessible to people who are disabled.

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 a recent graduate of Duke Unversity. I received a Bachelor of Arts in both Psychology and International Comparative Studies.I started tutoring informally in high school after experiencing learning difficulties of my own.I continued tutoring throughout undergrad through America Reads America Counts. During my time with the program, I mostly worked with English as a Second Language students. During my time as a tutor, I created specialized learning plans for each student. I made specialized plans based on their style of learning because no two students learn the same way. When not tutoring or studying to get my law degree at New York University, I like to read, play with my sphynx, learn new languages, and bake.

I am a graduate of Duke University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Literature and Cultural Theory. I am currently completing my PhD in English Literature at the University of Virginia. My dissertation focuses on 20th Century U.S. Fiction, but I also have a strong interest in African-American literature, film studies, popular culture, and gender theory. At UVa, I have taught literature courses as well as first-year writing seminars, which have focused on topics including the American Dream, Gender and Sexuality, and Borders and Frontiers. My favorite things about teaching writing are working individually with students to help them brainstorm ideas and articulate their point of view in their clearest, strongest voice, and seeing their work become stronger across each draft they revise. When working with students in my literature classes at UVa and the North Carolina Governor's School, I especially enjoy helping students develop strategies for careful, critical reading. My years of teaching and tutoring have led me to the firm belief that literary analysis and clear writing are not mysterious talents that you either have or you don'tinstead, I believe anyone can become a better interpreter of literature and a better writer with practice and encouragement. In my free time, I enjoy walking my dog, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, going to art museums, and catching up on "Game of Thrones" or "Project Runway."

As a student pursuing a Bachelor's in Chemistry from Duke University, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm for the sciences and mathematics. Though I have experience in tutoring, I view every session as an opportunity to foster a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable to ask questions and explore concepts deeply. My specialties include ACT and SAT preparation, as well as subjects like Algebra, Calculus, and Chemistry. I believe in a hands-on approach that encourages critical thinking and problem-solving skills. I am dedicated to helping students not only achieve their academic goals but also develop a genuine interest in learning.

I am a rising sophomore at Duke University and am double majoring in Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science with a minor in Economics. I love problem solving and analyzing situations creatively and enjoy studying the real-world applications that accompany engineering. I mostly tutor math and science courses and hope to illustrate my passion for these subjects to my students.

My B.A. is from Duke University and I completed all non-dissertation requirements for the Ph.D. in economics from the University of Pennsylvania, which was then the 7th-ranked Economics Ph.D. Program in the U.S. I also taught macro- and micro-economics at La Salle and Drexel Universities. I was rated highly by the students. In fact, for a particular spring semester at La Salle, 25 students petitioned the university to open another section of my microeconomics course, as my sections were filled to capacity. As a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, I tutored undergrads and Wharton MBA students in their macro- and micro-economics courses. I bring to the table over 40 years of experience as an economist with the U.S. government, academia, and the private sector (including with a large multinational Canadian bank) in a wide variety of areas, including international trade, macroeconomics, industry issues, and an immigration program. Given my interest in teaching, I continued to train many others in my positions with the U.S. government, including 70 colleagues in my last position. I very much enjoy teaching and tutoring and seeing and helping others learn, grow, and develop. I realize that a good tutor/teacher is one who not only understands the subject, but can communicate it effectively, as well. My priority/goal is to help the student learn, and there are no "dumb" questions. (Anything is askable.) I also work to make it a pleasant, personable experience.

I am a recent graduate of Duke University, where I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 2014. I am primarily a math tutor but I also enjoy teaching chemistry and physics. Math was always my favorite subject in high school and I continued my love of math at Duke. I have also been a middle school and high school tutor throughout my time at Duke through the Program in Education. One of my crowning achievements at Duke was winning the DT Stallings Award, which is awarded to a Duke senior who has shown sustained and dedicated service to tutoring local school children. When I am tutoring a student, I prefer a very hands-on approach. I love working out problems with my students after working through an example problem completely. By working problems out with my students, I am able to help them if and when they get stuck. I hope to convey to every student the ability to think logically and persevere when things seem difficult.Outside of math and tutoring, I am a huge sports fan and novel reader. Since I graduated from Duke, I have a fierce love for all things Blue Devils and I really enjoyed watching Duke Basketball in Cameron Indoor Stadium. One of my favorite things to do is to read a novel while listening to my iPod.

I love to help students realize their potential. I believe all children and teenagers can perform well in school if given proper support and encouragement from caring adults. Learning should be enjoyable, and not be made to seem like a chore. I incorporate fun and games into my tutoring activities whenever possible.I received excellent grades on all papers written at Duke University (master's degree) and Emory & Henry College (B.A.), and I can help high school and college students learn to write better papers. I am proficient at US History and can help an AP US History student towards a 4 or 5 on his or her exam. My concentration for both of my post-high school degrees was religion, and I would love to tutor students who are taking religion courses. My favorite hobby is reading, and I believe it is important to instill an enjoyment of reading in students as early as possible. I can help young people who need extra support to become better readers.I am reliable, easy to get along with, and I love kids! I work with children and teenagers in my primary job, and I am comfortable around kids of all ages. I have two daughters of my own so I know what it is like for parents to want the best for their children. I do what it takes to tutor students to better grades, confidence in a subject, and a sense of self-reliance.

My name is Sarah and I'm a sophomore at Duke University. I'm pre-med studying psychology with a minor in biology and chemistry. I work in the admissions office as a tour guide and I love getting to know high schoolers interested in the college admissions process!

I am a graduate of Duke University with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with minors in Education and Documentary Studies. Before I went to college, I spent a lot of time in an elementary school classroom volunteering, especially in the summers, and that was when I realized I love tutoring. I spent all four years of college tutoring local students in the area in math, reading, and government. I am in the process of applying to law school, so I have experience in the admissions on process for both college and graduate school. In my spare time, I enjoy fashion, photography, reading, and yoga.

I'm a passionate explorer, educator, and scientist. I am a Planetary Science Researcher (PhD, 2008). I write grants to NASA to use spacecraft data to study the composition and evolution of rocky planetary bodies (Moon, Mercury, asteroids). My research is broad and interdisciplinary that equips me to tutor many subjects and also to show students connections between subjects when it improves subject mastery. I have been teaching and tutoring for over twenty years, at every level of my education and career. In high school I taught aerospace education and aviation search and rescue while I earned my pilot's license. As an undergraduate at Duke I tutored athletes in Geology, Calculus, and Electrical Engineering core courses and I was a teaching assistant for Computer Science and Linear Circuits Laboratory. In graduate school I was a teaching assistant in geology. And as a professor, I've taught undergraduate and graduate science courses at a major U.S. research university. Most recently I designed a combined English and Engineering elective to students with limited English Proficiency at a small university in Colombia.In addition to my academic and career experience I spent four years traveling and living abroad. I supported my travels by working part-time, remotely, on my NASA-funded research projects. At the same time I encountered so many new challenges in both language and culture that I am even better equipped to identify diversity in my students' cultures, backgrounds, and motivations. This has made me a better teacher because being immersed in unfamiliar and confusing situations honed my observational skills and intuition. Constant struggles to make myself understood in my mediocre Spanish or to reword a concept for a confused non-native English speaker have expanded my creativity in the range of ways to explain things that I never thought possible.I believe that encouraging a student's natural curiosity is key to successful learning. I prefer to relate learning material to real world applications (particularly outer space) and the interests of the student. I am particularly passionate about making science and math accessible to humanities or social science students and I pride myself on being able to demonstrate the importance of the subject I am tutoring to many areas of academics and civic life.The most important strategy I employ in tutoring is making it a positive experience. That means working with the student to get them on board *wanting* to learn the material for themselves, independent of requirements. One of my favorite ways to do this is to explore the student's passions and interests and then relate the material they need to learn to something they love. In other cases, a positive experience requires eliminating frustration and/or fear of failure. I've always been a successful student, but my efforts to learn Spanish, outside the classroom, because I needed it to survive, are still the most challenging of my life. I can empathize with students who say they "just aren't a math person" and work to dissuade them of that self-concept.I am a strong advocate of active learning (coming around to this slowly while tutoring students with limited English proficiency and seeing, first-hand, active learning activities overcome communication barriers). But I personally learn best by lecture, practice problems, and explaining to others. Thus I communicate with the student to determine their preferred style of tutoring but I'm also aware that students aren't always the most self-aware and I use my observation skills to consider other approaches that may be helpful.

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.

Hi! My name is Maggie, and I have been tutoring since high school. I graduated Cum Laude from Duke University in just 3 years, and I graduated with a Distinction Thesis. I have a psychology major and a certificate in Human Development. Since graduation, I have been working in an elementary school as a special education paraprofessional. This job was exciting to me because I was able to focus on the special needs children (ADHD, ASD, Down Syndrome, EBD), but I also got to teach some classes and help the general education students. The job was perfect for me!I recently moved to St. Paul, and I now want to become a full time tutor. What I really love about tutoring is the relationship that is formed between student and tutor. I like to really get to know a student so I can learn how to help him or her best. It is important to me that a student is able to enjoy his or her work. That will make learning more fun, and it will make the student more successful. I am so excited for the opportunity to tutor your child! I look forward to helping him or her achieve and find confidence in abilities and intelligence.

Hello! I am a rising junior at Duke University. I hail from Cleveland, Ohio (Go Cavs!), and I'm currently studying medical sociology, with the intent of going to medical school.With the stress of AP's and SAT/ACT still fresh in my mind and a younger brother currently going through it, I believe the best use of my knowledge and experience is to recycle it for others' benefit. I want my knowledge of these tests to be useful to someone beyond myself, because I dedicated a lot of time and effort in understanding these tests, and it's a shame to not use it more. I believe enrolling in Varsity Tutors will give me access to motivated students for whom I can actually make a difference, and help them fulfill their potential so that they can achieve their goals. By centering my tutoring philosophy around the student rather than the material, I'm highly optimistic that I can design a tutoring style in collaboration with my student to achieve the best results.Outside of tutoring, I'm currently working in Chicago as an intern for the Chinese Mutual Aid Association, and I'm training for a half-marathon as well.

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.

Hello! My name is Julie and I graduated from Duke University with a double major in Neuroscience and French and a minor and Chemistry. I also took the MCAT this past spring and scored a 522. My subscore breakdowns were (131/131/129/131).I teach all sciences (biology, chemistry, anatomy, etc.), French, and MCAT prep. For French, I have been studying for 10 years and am completely fluent.Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running, yoga, and spending time with my friends. I am a Marshall Scholar and will begin graduate studies at the University of Cambridge in the fall.

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!

Hi! My name is Sid Ravi; I am a current sophomore at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina! I am studying Economics, with a Finance concentration, Documentary Studies, and African and African American Studies. I have tutored for many years in subjects like the SAT, Math, and Sciences. I am a substitute teacher in Wake County, the capital county in North Carolina, and have been doing so for the past year and a half. I am very interested in tutoring you and look forward to working with you to meet your goals!

I am a rising freshman at Duke University, where I will be majoring in Economics and Public Policy. I have extensive tutoring experience through opportunities such as Kumon, local educational summer camps, and serving with my school's National Honor Society (NHS) club. I am most passionate about helping students through classes English, Literature, and History, especially Advanced Placement (AP) courses. As a recent high school student, I hope to use my relevant experiences to help students prepare for the Reading and Writing portions of Standardized Tests (SAT, PSAT), as well as to tackle the college admissions essay. I am a firm proponent of the value of education, and believe it to be crucial in allowing for a brighter and better future.

Besides my mother, my daughters and my late wife, I consider my best teachers (the greatest influences in my life) to have come from Bunny Land A-Cat-A-Me, Johnston Middle School, Bellaire High, Duke University, Stanford Law School and the Vancouver Film School. They pushed, inspired and taught me in richly different ways. They lead me to find joy in knowledge and fluency, in the process fanning a non-stop yearning to learn and to share.I have tutored Advanced Placement students, executives changing careers, and those who believe they can do better academically or on achievement tests. I have instructed lawyers on contemporary legal issues, taught middle and high school students how to craft screenplays, and coached law students in mock trial competitions and middle school basketball teams. I enjoy working with students on French, writing skills, essay editing, American History, LSAT prep, middle school math, geography, government and organizational skills.I treat each student individually, and tailor our sessions to his or her learning styles, and aspirations (and of course, those of their parents). If, as a team, we can achieve the goals we set, and enhance the student's enjoyment and mastery of their unique learning process, I will have done my job.

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 am earning dual Bachelors of Science from Duke University and Duke Kunshan University (located in Kunshan, Jiangsu, China) in Behavioral Science-- intended to graduate in 2023. As a former Varsity Tutors student myself, I can confidently say that our services not only allow students to be proud of what they can achieve (for myself it was an SAT score and college admissions essays) but also who they are. Tutoring had a huge impact on my confidence in the classroom and other academic settings (i.e. testing, presentations, etc.) My greatest wish is to pay it forward.I am a passionate learner of developmental and abnormal psychology, with aspirations to become a clinical child psychologist in the future. I have years of volunteer and work experience as a camp counselor, lifeguard, science fair leader, babysitter, tutor, seminar leader, and child caretaker. I love to aid in the process of learning, my approach always being patient and enthusiastic.

I am a student at Duke University studying English, Entrepreneurship, and Photography. I have several years of experience tutoring privately and volunteering as an assistant teacher for elementary school children aged 4-10 years old. I am available to tutor English at all pre-collegiate levels. This may include anything from learning letters to improving in-depth writing and analysis skills. I am also available to tutor Mathematics at an elementary school level. Outside of school, I spend my time reading, running my photography business, hanging out with my dog, and babysitting.

I am a doctoral candidate in Clinical Psychology at Duke University. My job requires excellent mathematics, analytic, and writing skills, which are also my favorite subjects to teach. I have experience teaching kids in elementary, middle, and high school, as well as college-aged students. My particular expertise is in managing attention and assisting with executive functioning (e.g., time management and planning).

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.

Hi! I am a second-year student at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine after earning my bachelor's degree in Biology from Duke University. In high school, I tutored peers in math and science, and in college, I taught STEM subjects to elementary students through an after-school program. I also have experience reviewing and editing college application essays for friends and family. I am most qualified to tutor Algebra, Geometry, Biology, General Chemistry, Psychology, English/Grammar, Writing, and standardized tests such as the SAT and DAT. My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, building confidence, and strengthening their understanding of challenging material. Outside of academics, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, running, reading, volunteering, and traveling. Education has had a tremendous impact on my life, and I look forward to helping students achieve their goals.

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 specialize in GRE, SAT, mechanical engineering, chemistry, and math.I am an undergraduate senior majoring in mechanical engineering and chemistry with a computer science minor at Duke University. I have 6+ years of tutoring experience from middle school to the college level. With a major GPA of 3.96/4.00 while overloading on classes, I have the experience to show you how to absorb the material quickly and effectively to make time for other classes/activities.In addition, I can help make studying be less of a chore! There are many studies that suggest a positive mindset best promotes learning and growth, and this is how I approach my tutoring sessions in addition to my own studies. I can show you how to balance a difficult workload while keeping up your mental health.Outside of classes, I enjoy rock climbing, running, and playing League of Legends.

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 am a registered nurse that earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Duke University School of Nursing and a Bachelor of Arts in Healthcare Studies from the University of Richmond. As a dedicated tutor with experience supporting students from Duke University School of Nursing and serving as a teaching assistant in microbiology, I am passionate about making education in the biological and medical sciences both accessible and enjoyable. I specialize in tutoring a range of subjects including Biology/AP Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Microbiology, Medical Terminology, and Nursing School courses such as Fundamentals, Pathophysiology, Medical-Surgical Nursing, Maternity Nursing, and Pediatric Nursing. I also provide preparation for standardized exams like the NCLEX and TEAS. My favorite subjects to teach are the biological and medical sciences, as I find the human body to be an endlessly fascinating puzzle - one that is both complex and rewarding to explore. I strive to create a warm, engaging, and inclusive learning environment where students feel supported and empowered. I believe that education should never be a source of frustration or negative emotions; instead, it should be an opportunity for growth, confidence, and curiosity. In my sessions, I use concise, easy-to-follow reviews, practice questions, critical thinking exercises, and the teach-back method to ensure deep understanding and long-term retention. I also emphasize real-world applications of the material, helping students make meaningful connections that stick. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy arts and crafts, reading mystery novels, playing the flute, and spending quality time with my cat, Lilo. I look forward to helping you reach your academic goals with confidence and clarity

I graduated from Duke University, receiving my Bachelor of Science, majoring in Cell and Molecular Biology. I have often assisted in teaching my friends, younger family members, and classmates, helping them to understand concepts they were struggling with. While I can teach several subjects, I am most passionate about teaching mathematics. Math has always been a subject that I have not only shown proficiency in but also enjoyed. My teaching style is highly interactive. Rather than exclusively lecturing, I would like to have my students work through practice problems, taking the time to explain concepts and show example problems when they get stuck. I believe that education is essential to growth and opening many future opportunities. I hope to show my students that learning is more than just going through the motions and is truly valuable. In my free time, I enjoy running and playing music.

I graduated Cum Laude from Duke University with a B.A. in Philosophy and a minor in Political Science. I'm currently working towards a J.D. at Columbia Law School. Before joining Varsity Tutors, I tutored the LSAT for a private company, both as a classroom teacher and in one-on-one tutorials. Building off that experience, I will be working for Varsity Tutors, helping people prepare for the LSAT as well as the SAT and the ACT. I have really enjoyed my experience assisting students in test preparation. In my experience, students first approach tests in an ad hoc fashion, and often with a fair bit of trepidation and hesitancy. I find it tremendously satisfying to help students conquer those initial hurdles and gain a feeling of mastery and confidence. I am patient, and I encourage my students to be patient as well. I also help students faceand in so doing, conquertheir fear of failure. We practice not fearing mistakes, but seeing them as opportunities to learn, hone skills, and grow more confident. One of my strongest attributes as a tutor is my ability to break down complex ideas into clear and accessible language. There is nothing more gratifying than working through a difficult concept with a student and know they truly understand it and can put it into practice. In my free time I enjoy reading. Some of my favorite authors are George R. R. Martin (the author A Game of Thrones) and Junot Diaz. I also enjoy spending time with friends, often playing competitive board games, such as The Settlers of Catan.

I am a current student at Duke University School of Medicine pursuing my MHS degree in Physician Assistant studies. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Respiratory Care with which I practiced as a Respiratory Therapist with focus in Adult critical Care. I have several certifications and I am a certified clinical simulations instructor. While I tutor a broad range of courses, I am passionate about Algebra, biology, anatomy & physiology, Medical terminology, medicine, ACLS, BLS,NRP, Respiratory board exams prep and pharmacology.Assisting students through tutoring is a desire of mine. I believe that every student has what it takes to excel academically if given the right resources and attention they deserve.

I am fourth-year medical student seeking to use some flexible time before I graduate to work with students interested in learning and growing to new heights.

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!

I am a Duke University graduate in Economics and Computer Science. I am currently pursuing an MBA degree at the Yale School of Management. I have worked in the financial field, both at a management consulting firm and a fortune 500 company. My hobbies include playing and coaching soccer.I have a passion for teaching, coaching and mentoring others, and I can???t wait to help you reach your personal goals. I specialize in quantitative subjects and economics where I have had formal education as well as significant exposure through my work experience. I have recently taken the GMAT and scored in the 99th percentile, and I would love to help someone who is preparing for gradate school exams. However, I am also available and thoroughly enjoy tutoring various quantitative subjects and economics to people of all ages.
