Success in school isn't just about grades, it's about confidence, clarity, and growth. As a Morehouse College biology graduate and dual master's student in Biotechnology and Business at Syracuse University, I bring a deep understanding of STEM, strong communication skills, and a passion for mentorship. With my experience tutoring students in biology, chemistry, writing, and test prep, I focus on making complex concepts clear and helping students build lasting academic habits. Whether you're preparing for the ACT or mastering high school biology, I'm here to help you reach your goals and believe in yourself along the way.

I am a proud Morehouse graduate, with a PhD in Clinical-Community Psychology. I completed my predoctoral internship at the Center for Multicultural Training in Psychology at Boston Medical Center and my postdoctoral fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital/Harvard Medical School.Between my formal training, I have worked in a variety of contexts including the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program, the Georgia Public Defenders Standards Council and the Center for Supportive Schools in Princeton, NJ. After I established my professional identity, I returned to education to pursue graduate work at the University of South Carolina. While I was in South Carolina, I developed a love for teaching SPSS and APA-writing style and tutoring college students in personal statement writing as these are the skills that helped me to survive graduate school.I would describe my teaching philosophy as strength-based in that through listening to my clients, I develop a picture of what they are good at and draw upon that to build their confidence while supplementing their knowledge base with my own. Outside of academia, I enjoy bike riding, travel and pop culture. My friends consider me to be pretty out-of the-box, but they also know I am results-driven and loyal to the core.

I recently graduated from Morehouse College(2010-2014) in Atlanta, Georgia with a Bachelors of Science degree in Chemistry and Biology, minor in Mathematics. During my time at Morehouse College, I worked as a Chemistry, Biology and Math tutor for colleagues that were in need of assistance. Later, in 2012, I joined and later became the organizer for the "Fredrick Douglas Tutorial" program, a Saturday tutoring program for local primary, middle and high school students that needed help with their schoolwork. Other platforms that allowed me to gain experiences working with students were "Atlanta: Brain Awareness Month," "Children's Healthcare of Atlanta: College Volunteer," and "Faculdade Zumbi Dos Palmares English-Portuguese Tutoring (Brazil)," etc.After graduation, I spent the summer as an undergraduate tutor for the "Dreams to Teach" programs for students with the desire to become teachers after obtaining their Bachelors degrees. Since then, I've worked as a Research Laboratory Technician on projects such as nanoparticles and other biomaterials, regulation of brain inflammation, aggression, cilia and disease, & telomeres, stress and aging. These roles have continuously placed me in a position to help educate and tutor young students.From the time I began to consider the future and wonder who and what I would become, I've only ever thought of one thing: Science, specifically S.T.E.M (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), and when tutoring, I use my passion for it to motive and encourage students to focus and do well. I believe in catering a unique strategy for each student I work with. From past experiences, I've noticed that student requires different approaches for different problems, some may work best with board work, others with sample problems however some may require visual work. We will try each approach until we find the perfect fit. - While with Varsity Tutors, I will be working most with such subjects as Algebras 1 & 2, Geometry, Elementary Math, Arithmetic, Finite Mathematics, Pre-Algebra, Trigonometry, Earth & Life Sciences, Ecology, General Biology, Biochemistry, and Environmental Science.In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, cycling, and reading. I also do a lot of volunteer work at local hospitals, gather material for my personal research and I'm really big on cooking.

As a young boy at eight years old, my grandparents had a recently published book on United States Presidents and read the book in its entirety. That passion and discovery of history in general as well as other related disciplines such as politics/government/religion and theology undergirds my training and love of teaching. I am a graduate of Morehouse College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History and Religion. After obtaining three additional degrees my interests are in Early Modern England, Reformation History completing my masters thesis on Quaker Woman Preachers in England 1550-1589. I have traveled extensively as the Co-Chair for Advocacy and Public Voice for the Lutheran World Federation Council and serving in the Peace Corps in Cote d' Ivoire West Africa.My teaching style is interactive and engaging believing that the best teachers learn from students in iron sharpening iron.My favorite hobbies are cruise vacations, distant train rides and figuring out the subway system in various international cities.I am a baseball enthusiast, love reading biographies, attending love theater and bowling.

I am a graduate of Morehouse College, the Stanford School of Engineering, and the NYU School of Law. While at Morehouse, Stanford and NYU, I served as a tutor and teaching assistant in subjects such as mathematics, physics, finance, and law. Since graduation, I have worked impact investing space as an investor, lawyer, and program manager. I have also coached students at the University of Baltimore and tutored aspiring lawyers for the Bar.Where I can be most useful to someone looking for a tutor is helping them understand how to master the Bar Exam, LSAT, and understanding scope and methods behind types of financial and mathematical analysis.

Hello all!!! My name is DMyrian. I am a PhD student who researches and teaches accounting. I am also a licensed CPA. I worked in accounting for a significant amount of time in different industries and roles with increasing responsibility. I have an extreme passion for accounting. I absolutely love it. I look forward to being your tutor. I will do my very best to help you learn and understand the material so you can hopefully fall in love with the subject.

I believe that all students can achieve their full academic potential when given the right amount of encouragement and support.

Helping people (especially children) learn has always been of great importance to me and was taught to me at a very early age. It was a value instilled in me by my paternal grandmother and various aunts and uncles who were educators in the schools of the Board of Education for the City of New York. These family members originated from south Texas as well as the Caribbean islands. So, there was a certain amount of intensity and grit that they exhibited each and every day of their lives not only with their students but with their colleagues. I can remember my uncle, who was a fiery baseball coach, coaching his second baseman on how to turn a double play. He made them him practice the art for the entire practice until practice was over. I also remember going into my grandmothers' 2nd grade classroom at P. S. 43 in the Bronx and I can remember my grandmother taking home students Monday through Friday who had difficulty memorizing the multiplication tables and had to stay and practice after a long day of learning. These instances are just two of the many opportunities that I had to see the values of intensity and grit displayed in the educational setting. Those examples were the seedlings that would prove to be beneficial into me becoming the man that I am today.Because the elders of my family forged such an identifiable pathway, I have always been drawn to the field of education. I can recall playing school with friends and family members at the young age of five and I would always be the teacher directing people where they should be what they should be doing and how they should be learning. Since my first job at the age of 14, every single job I've had has been helping children learn.I have been told on numerous occasions that I am an intelligent person and have an ambitious personality. My ambition in life is to become a respected mentor and educator. Personally I am willing to participate in any activity that will broaden any chance of making my ambitions become a reality. Therefore I understand the importance and difficulty of making my ambitions come true.I've been a member of many sports teams since the age of six for both school teams and community organizations. Playing sports not only gave me the opportunity to develop great physical fitness routines that I will continue to use for the rest of my life, but it gave me the chance to learn how to collaborate with others. It also started to teach me how to network with others who didn't necessarily share the same viewpoints I did. Another result was that sports helped me come out of the shell I was in prior to becoming a teenager and become more outgoing. Two of the positive effects of becoming more personable was being voted Prom King senior year in high school and excelled during my college interview to Morehouse College. These are some of the outcomes that can result in becoming more outgoing and personable through sports.My academics in high school never suffered while I kept such a demanding schedule. I had honors and advanced placement courses all throughout high school and I finished in the top 7% of my graduating high school class. Participating in all of these activities in high school gave me an excellent opportunity to learn and practice the art of time management and the ability to cope with the pressure of any situation. These skills have proven essential as I have moved throughout my professional career and life in general.In undergrad, I had the opportunity to really gain an appreciation for educational pedagogy.The first theory that left a great impression on me was Tabula Rasa by John Locke. This has been the premise behind my teaching for the last 13 years. It is our job as educators to positively add to the experiences that children bring into the learning environment. If educators provide enough of these positive experiences on this blank canvas, students can gain a love and an appreciation of learning that can last a lifetime.At the Spelman education department (I attended Morehouse College for undergrad and although we did have an Early Childhood Development major, all education classes were taken over at Spelman education department which was located right across the street) we went into great detail about Piaget and his studies. One professor who successfully integrated his ideologies into her course was Professor Christine King Farris, sister of civil rights leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (who was also a Morehouse alumnus). Piaget is known primarily for his developmental stage theory. But what has stayed with me all these years from Professor Farris' class was that Piaget dealt with the nature of knowledge itself and how humans come gradually to acquire, construct, and use it. To Piaget cognitive development was a progressive reorganization of mental processes as a result of biological maturation and environmental experience (combining nature and nurture) Accordingly, children construct an understanding of the world around them, then experience discrepancies between what they already know and what they discover in their environment. Piaget claimed the idea that cognitive development is at the center of human organism, and language is contingent on cognitive development.BF Skinner is famous for Operant Conditioning (Behaviorism). He was a firm believer of the idea that human free will was actually non existent and anything that humans did was the result of the consequences of that same action. If the consequences were good, the actions that led to it would be reinforced. But if the consequences were bad, there was a high chance that the action would not be repeated. Skinner called this the principle of reinforcement. To me, this is the basis of how all human behavior is developed.The next two theories are two of my favorite that I've learned in all of my studies of education pedagogy because I see them played out virtually every day in the school-based setting. The first theory is multiple intelligence by Howard Gardner. The theory states that intelligence differentiates it into specific "modalities", rather than seeing intelligence as dominated by a single general ability. Gardner articulated seven criteria for a behavior to be considered an intelligence. He stated that each learner possesses a unique blend of all the intelligences. Gardner wanted his theory of multiple intelligences to "empower learners", not restrict them to one modality of learning. Gardner chose eight abilities that he held to meet these criteria: musicalrhythmic, visualspatial, verballinguistic, logicalmathematical, bodilykinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. I hold this theory in such high regard because this is the basis of student learning where students haven't had very much success exhibited in the traditional educational environment. It's really important to highlight student success is outside of Mathematics, English, etc. in an effort to make those students want to strive to do better in those major subjects.The last theory is by Lev Vygotsky and it's called Social Development Theory and ZPD Social interaction is critical for cognitive development. Related to this is the idea of a "zone of proximal development (ZPD)." Some skills, an individual can perform independently. Other skills can be performed if the individual has assistance. Skills I can be performed with assistance I said to be with and an individual's ZPD. The ZPD is the theoretical basis for scaffolding. Scaffolding is a phenomenon that takes place with students independently learning versus students learning with their teachers. A good educator is able to assess the amount of scaffolding that's necessary for each learning outcome for each of their students and provide their students with that necessary amount of assistance they need in order to be successful.Being a child development major afforded me the opportunity to learn in this valuable education pedagogy and have the chance to put it to practice. Of course there were the traditional student internships that we had with each class, as well as the student teaching experience that we had for the entire second half of our senior year. But I was afforded to very special opportunities to put my theories of learning a clashing to actual practice. The first opportunity was cold perspective student seminar at Morehouse College. This is an opportunity where prospective students from all around the world toured and visited the campus for four days. What made this opportunity so special was that every year there a student leader that was selected to run the entire event. Planning for the event started a year out, so it was really important to put systems in place to make sure that the event's plan well and ran smoothly. I was afforded the opportunity to be a student leader of the event. I had a staff of 50 and I had a working budget of approximately $200,000 at my disposal as a college senior. It was an opportunity to put all of the education that I had learned up until that point into good use.I served as a residence assistant my last four years and undergrad, the last two of which I served as the lead residence assistance. I also had opportunity to work with a program called Pre-freshmen Summer Program while at Morehouse College. I work this program my last three summers of undergrad. This program allowed me to utilize many of things that I learned in the classroom as well. My last two summers I served as the chief academic officer of the program. I served as a conduit between professors, school administrators, high school students and their parents.After I graduated from Morehouse College, I have successfully taught second through fourth grade as well as six grade in the Atlanta and the surrounding suburbs. I have studied on the graduate level at Georgia State University and have also gone on and helped lead schools in New Orleans and helped lead schools as well as helped open a school in New York City. I have worked with nonprofits to increase math and reading performance in the population that the service. I have also helped political campaigns better strengthen their educational platforms.I am a well-rounded and motivated person who will thrive in an academic environment.

I first started tutoring as a sophomore in high school, helping kids younger than me get through some of their tougher classes. When I was in college I continued tutoring after approached by my Biology and Chemistry professors. The one thing I enjoy most about tutoring is helping someone to achieve that breakthrough moment. Two heads are often better than one. When you get stuck on a particular concept, it's great to have someone who can help you out of that rut!

My purpose is to serve the youth and promote youth development. As an Eagle Scout, my early commitment to service afforded me several key opportunities to serve in administrative, leadership preparatory positions. At Morehouse College, I served as a Bonner Community Service Scholar, where I primarily served as a tutor and mentor to middle and high school students through a West Atlanta youth empowerment organization, Raising Expectations. In addition to boosting the students mathematical performance on the CRCT and EOCT, I gained valuable recruitment experience while presenting to and recruiting volunteers from the metro Atlanta colleges and universities.While studying mathematics at Morehouse College, I conducted undergraduate research for two years. I was able to form statistical correlations between ten socioeconomic factors and air pollutant concentrations. During this experience, I was also able to develop an index to determine the most ecologically sustainable colleges in the metro Atlanta area. I gained professional presentation experience introducing my findings at various research conferences throughout the Southeast region.During the 2011/2012 school term, as an AmeriCorps service member at Georgia State University, I demonstrated on a daily basis my ability to teach, tutor, and mentor middle and high school level mathematics students. Additionally, I created community service projects for a local Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) project. In preparation for the GYSD, I was responsible for collaborating with several non-profit organizations in order to recruit volunteers, install free energy-efficient light bulbs in West Atlanta residences, as well as plant trees and establish a teachers' lounge at Woodson Elementary School. This summer, our AmeriCorps program developed DREAMS Summer Institute, a culturally relevant summer enrichment program for disadvantaged high school students, at Georgia State University. I was responsible for developing a teaching model in accordance to the GA Performance Standards and was instrumental in recruiting students in preparation for the program in addition to teaching all mathematics courses for the program."There is no progress without struggle."- Frederick Douglass. I understand struggle. In spite of my early struggles in mathematics, I have gone on to earn a BS in Mathematics, with a minor in Physics. I mold my instruction behind that of my high school Calculus teacher. His approach was rooted in the following question: "What does this have to do with what I already know?" This approach helps me lead my students to probe their minds for their current mathematical tools. It is then my job to help them bridge the gap of knowledge and application to help them reach new knowledge and understanding. Assess, Review, Challenge, Review, Repeat. This is my method for success.
