I have a Bachelor of Arts from Duke University and a Master of Arts from the University of Chicago. At Duke, I studied both English Literature and Environmental Sciences and Policy; at the University of Chicago, I received a degree in Social Work. My teaching experiences have been broad and enriching -- I've taught elementary and middle school students in Sanxia, Taiwan; college students in Toamasina, Madagascar (where I lived in a lemur reserve!); and middle and high school students from across the US who participated in experiential education and leadership conferences in Washington, DC. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Literature, Writing, and ESL. I love helping students gain the confidence and skills to excel on the Critical Reading and Writing portions of standardized tests. My teaching approach is individualized, positive, warm, respectful, and fun. I encourage students to not be afraid to take intellectual risks or make mistakes, as that's when much learning happens! In addition to tutoring, I work as a researcher at the University of Chicago, with plans to pursue a PhD in the near future. In my spare time, I love reading novels and ethnographies, writing fiction and music, traveling, and exploring the outdoors as a backpacker, fly fisherman, and naturalist.

I have been teaching 18- to 22-year-old students at the college level since 1995. I love imparting to them my own passion for the English language and its literary heritage, from Chaucer through our best 21st-century writers. I am particularly absorbed by the history of fiction, drama, and poetry in English, and I hope to continue to teach such love of the written word to curious students today.

Hello! I recently graduated this past May from Stetson University down in DeLand, FL with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and a Bachelor of Arts in Nonprofit Administration, along with a minor in Music. I grew up in Winter Springs, FL, and graduated from Winter Springs High School as the Valedictorian of my class in 2011. I have been tutoring math since my sophomore year of high school, and during my time at Stetson University, I worked as a student tutor for the Mathematics Department for three years, tutoring calculus, probability, statistics, and finite mathematics. I also tutored independently, tutoring middle school and high school students in Algebra I and II, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus. I love numbers, and want you to as well!Beyond my background in math, I have several other interests as well. I have been a musician since the sixth grade when I first started playing the tuba. I have a passion for volunteering and nonprofit organizations, and have spent much time with one nonprofit in particular, Habitat for Humanity, both in the office setting and on build sites as well. I enjoy biking and running, as well as spending time in the mountains. My friends would describe me as friendly and goofy, as I never give up the opportunity to reference random Youtube videos in every day conversations, and revel in making others laugh. I love tutoring, and enjoy helping students accomplish their goals.I am now attending Duke University to pursue a Master of Public Policy, a track studying the quantitative analysis behind policy decisions. I will focus on social policy and international development.

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.

I am a graduate of Duke University, as well as Duquesne University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in political science and German with a focus on international relations and twentieth century totalitarian regimes. I received my Master of Arts in Public Policy Management with a focus on energy policy, particularly unconventional hydrocarbons like shale gas. During my undergraduate studies, I spent 6 months living in Berlin, Germany as part of a full-immersion language acquisition program. Professionally, I spent almost a decade as a small business owner, operating my own financial planning firm. I decided to return for higher education because of a deep interest in energy markets, developed during my career as a financial advisor. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Economics (particularly microeconomics), Political Science, History, and Math. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests like the GRE, I have seen the most success assisting students in understanding the logic of these exams, how they have been constructed, and what the best approach for leveraging that knowledge is. I have a deep commitment to education. Education is necessary not just for establishing employable skills, but more importantly to create an informed population. In my spare time, I enjoy blacksmithing and knifemaking, playing my drums and guitar, listening to a wide array of music, and spending as much time as possible with my family.

I received my PhD in Microbiology from Northwestern University in 2025 and my Bachelor's in Biology from Duke University in 2017. I have a passion for connecting driven students with the resources they need to succeed. I am based in Chicago.

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.

Hello, I am a Duke University graduate with a Bachelors degree in Psychology. I have experience tutoring all levels of Spanish language, all sections of the SAT, as well as algebra, pre algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus! I love kids & I have a very flexible schedule and a lot of patience! Let me help you :)

I recently graduated with a master's degree in Urban Education Policy from Brown University after studying public policy as an undergraduate at Duke University. I hope to pursue a career in education policy in the future, but at present I want to be the best tutor that I can be. Given my passionate about education policy, I understand the important role that standardized tests play in allowing students to maximize their own educational potential. My goal as a tutor is to help each student that I work with to perform to the best of their abilities on the standardized test that they are preparing to take. I hope that I can play a part in helping my students to attend the higher education institution of their dreams, and I will work as hard as I need to in order to achieve this. I look forward to meeting and working with some exceptional students in my time with Varsity Tutors.

I am a 2021 graduate from Duke University where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, with Distinction. At Duke, I also minored in Global Health and Chemistry and was a recipient of the Benjamin N. Duke full-ride scholarship based on leadership, service, and academics. I will be attending Yale Medical School as a member of the entering class of 2022. Having recently navigated the medical school application process with many interviews and acceptances, I have begun helping others with their essay writing and application prep. I come from a large Caribbean family and I love learning about other cultures while sharing my own. I enjoy teaching and have worked with everyone from Kindergarteners to middle and high school students to college students and even older adults! My primary teaching experience and interests are all elementary and middle school subjects, biology (through college level), beginner Spanish, essay writing, and test prep/study skills. I have also been an art educator for K-10 and adults!

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.

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!
