100% Tutor Satisfaction Guarantee
At Varsity Tutors, we're committed to connecting you to top tutors capable of delivering an outstanding experience. That's why we provide a 100% tutor satisfaction guarantee.
If you're a student at Fordham University and you're looking for additional help with your coursework, Varsity Tutors can find you a Fordham University tutor who can work with you in a one-on-one setting.
Fordham University tutoring gives you the chance to review information covered in your classroom lectures, prepare for upcoming tests, and work through your challenges with a knowledgeable instructor. We can find you an academic mentor who can help you with any subject, even with challenging topics like molecular cell biology and research methodology. Let's look at some of the ways you can benefit from working with a personal instructor.
How can a college tutor near me at Fordham University help me study?
Private lessons are a great way to take a deeper look at the material covered in your required reading material and lectures. This is especially helpful for looking at concepts that are challenging and confusing, like physics' string theory. An academic mentor can work with you to help you build your understanding of topics related to supersymmetry and quantum physics, or the concept of parallel universes and the theory of a multiverse. These can be difficult topics to casually touch on in physics lectures, but studying with a Fordham University tutor gives you the opportunity to dive deeper into theoretical physics with someone who can explain it in a way you can relate to.
Fordham University tutoring is an effective way to supplement your lectures for several reasons. For starters, it gives you the chance to work with someone who can devote their undivided attention to helping you work through your challenges. This means you can learn at your own pace, taking as much time as you need to work on areas that have been giving you trouble.
Private instruction lets you learn through custom-tailored instruction that has been personalized to help you reach for specific goals and objectives. Your tutor can create lessons to help prepare you for an assessment, help you strengthen your understanding in a particular subject, or you can narrow the focus down to topics within a subject. For example, if you're taking a creative writing course and your biggest challenge is coming up with interesting stories, your instructor can spend the bulk of your lessons going through the creative process, helping you brainstorm and implement elements that can help make your writings captivating and emotive.
Can a Fordham University tutor help me prepare for tests?
One of the best things about private instruction is the ability to adapt lessons to accommodate your ever-changing needs. If you have an upcoming quiz, midterm, or final exam you need help with, you can ask your instructor to modify their lessons accordingly. Instead of focusing on specific topics, they can come up with lesson plans that help you study for your tests, focusing on the topics you're most likely to encounter on the assessment.
What's more, your Fordham University tutor can draw upon different teaching styles to help you understand and remember the material covered in your test review sessions. They can break complex topics down into bite-sized modules that are easier to understand, tie the material covered in lessons with information you already know, and they can explore different teaching methods.
For example, if you're an auditory learner, your tutor can set aside more time for discussions. If you're studying for a math or science test, they can have you verbally walk them through the process of solving equations, or they can have you repeat important information as soon as it's introduced in the lesson. This can help make it easier for you to understand and remember your study material, which can help you do your best in the lessons.
Private lessons also give you the chance to address other study habits and test-taking skills. Your academic mentor can give you tips for managing your time so you're less likely to rush through an exam, they can teach you how to choose the best answer for multiple-choice questions, and how to get into the right state of mind on the days leading up to the exam.
How can I find a college tutor near me at Fordham University?
We've gone to great lengths to make Fordham University tutoring as accommodating as possible, which is why we're happy to set you up with online and in-person tutors who can work with you anytime during the week. Virtual lessons offer additional convenience by letting you study from anywhere via our Live Learning Platform. They also include several tools to simulate an in-person learning environment, like video chat for face-to-face communication, a shared document editor for collaborative projects and feedback, and a virtual whiteboard so you can watch in real-time as your mentor highlights important information, posts photos, and draws diagrams. Best of all, every online lesson is recorded and able to be watched whenever you want a quick refresher.
When you're ready to study for your college lessons through personalized instruction, Varsity Tutors can help. Contact us today to speak with an educational consultant. We'll find you a college tutor at Fordham University who can help you reach for your academic goals in any subject, in as little as 24 hours.

Recent Coral Gables Tutoring Session Notes
1. Wrote entire homily for Speech class. He paralleled some gospel story to the story of King Arthur. Only the hard copy is due the next day but the student doesn't have speech class (he has Spanish instead) that day.
2. Brought a green folder with brads and pockets. Supervised while the student made the dividers and then checked his Lit binder for all rough drafts that were supposed to be in there.
3. Study pack, Social Studies (most of it was done - he had left only a page's worth of the more reading-intensive work to do).

Today the student and I started with Chemistry and ended with Algebra 2. We did a 2 page worksheet on writing empirical formulas of compounds given a percent composition of the elements present. We then went on to work on his math assignment for the weekend, looking at the transformation of functions when multiplied by a coefficient or translated up/down or right/left. The student understood all of this very well and did many problems on his own. Overall a great session with much improvement and understanding.
