I am a rising junior at Stony Brook University (SBU), double majoring in English and Psychology with a minor in Women and Gender Studies. Currently, I am completing my research for my Honors English thesis, though I am also a Teacher's Assistant and Resident Assistant! While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite topics to teach are Literature and essay editing. I truly value being able to share my love for these topics with students, with the hopes that they too will get excited about reading and writing. In my experience, helping struggling students to break through any mental block is essential to their learning process. As someone who struggled with math and science classes throughout high school (and even in my Undergraduate career), I understand how frustrating it can be to grasp certain topics, so I feel that encouraging students is just as important as teaching them the material at hand. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing the guitar, and spending time with my friends!

I am an undergraduate student at Stonybrook University. I am a biology major on the pre-medicine track. I recently graduated from high school with an advanced diploma in Math and Science, achieving a 95+ score in all regents tests. I have tutored students at my temple and at my high school. Even though I have tutored many subjects, my expertise is in highschool math and science classes. I also teach chess, having a 1200+ rapid rating. I greatly believe in teaching with fun and passion and I try my best to make the learning process for my student as fun as possible. In my spare time, I usually practice magic tricks and I might incorporate tricks in my lessons.
I am currently a medical student in Philadelphia, and have a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Stony Brook University. I have several years of experience tutoring SAT students, but thanks to my mixed background I have proficiency in a wide range of subjects including mathematics, biological sciences, engineering, and physical sciences.I am passionate about teaching, and have taught healthcare sciences to underprivileged high school students in my spare time. My own experience as a student has taught me that learning new subject material can be intimidating, so my teaching philosophy involves a focus on breaking down complex problems into simpler, less daunting components. As a teacher I am most fulfilled when, through systematic instruction and problem-solving, I am able to promote the type of academic confidence that allows students to achieve their full potential.I was a collegiate rugby player and understand the struggles of the student-athlete. However, I firmly believe that many of the qualities that earn success in athletics can also translate to the classroom. I strive to exemplify this balance and motivate students to pursue success in all areas of their life.
I received my Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering degree at SUNY Stony Brook. I received my Master of Arts in Teaching with a Concentration in Mathematics degree at Quinnipiac University. I taught high school mathematics for 9 years. I tutor Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. My favorite subject to teach is Geometry, because once I was afraid of Geometry, and now I love it. I want to show my students how not to be afraid! My tutoring style involves lots of questions. I love asking questions to pull prior knowledge out of students, to teach them to utilize the "tools in their toolbox" to solve the problem. They have the knowledge; it is my job to bring them that confidence to pick the right tools to do the job. I love being active! I love to walk, hike, and roller blade. I also like to do strength training. I am a huge football fan. I am a Patriots fan, but I like to watch any team and to see a good game. I enjoy inviting friends and family over on a Sunday to watch football.
I am a junior at Stony Brook University, majoring in Applied Math and Statistics. I tutor in practically any form of math, whether it is algebra, calculus, statistics, or standardized test prep in math. I love helping people in any way I can, and teaching math is something I thoroughly enjoy doing. I like to share my knowledge and share my passion of mathematics to others through tutoring. While everyone else may not feel the same way as I do about math, my goal is mainly to help others learn and understand mathematics at any level, and make them feel confident in their abilities to do math. Outside of my passion for math, I love to listen and make music. I am a big fan of playing and watching sports, especially basketball.
Throughout high school I had inspirational teachers that influenced my need to enrich the lives of students. As a graduate from Stony Brook University with a Bachelors Degree in Earth and Space Science for Education, I am confident that I can utilize my knowledge to benefit the learning processes of students of various ages. I believe it is important to relate students academic and extra curricular interests to what I am tutoring, therefore we can focus on the positives! Nothing makes me happier to see a students light bulb go on after struggling with a subject! My goal as a tutor is to engage students throughout the learning process. As a self proclaimed science nerd, I believe that we should ask questions. I will encourage my students to go beyond what they are learning and ask "why" the world is the way it is!It is important to me that not only are my students gaining knowledge from me but I also learn from them. Children are our future. I find I t is imperative that we as educators teach them the fundamentals of science and math so they can grow into the thinkers that change the world!
I have many years of experience in competitive mathematics as I was the former co-captain of the NYC ARML math team. I have an unique approach with illustrating mathematics.
I am a rising senior at Stony Brook University and I have just taken my Dental Admissions Test (DAT). Working with students and meeting their needs has been a major part of my life outside of school. I worked at a local tutorial while I attended Brooklyn Technical High School after taking the Specialized High School Exam (SHSAT). I taught the math portion of the SHSAT examination for multiple years and it was a rewarding experience for me as I saw many of my students get into their high school of choice. After high school, I entered Stony Brook University and had the pleasure of being a Teaching Assistant for Honors Chemistry. I will be finishing up my Bachelor's in Pharmacology and entering Dental School in the following year. Through my knowledge and years of practice in core and essential subjects such as math, chemistry, biology, and organic chemistry, I can help make your life much easier. I believe the best method for learning is understanding the concepts rather than memorizing it and this has proved to be rewarding in many ways, especially long term. Let me use my years of experience to help you understand in the most short, simple and straightforward manner possible.
I am a graduate of Stony Brook University. I doubled majored in both Applied Mathematics and Psychology. I started my journey of tutoring when I was in high school. During my high school years, I started as a volunteer at a tutoring center assisting Kindergarten kids to 3rd graders with Math, English, and Art. Slowly, I became an afterschool tutor and loved the fulfilling feeling after seeing my student's betterment. Moving on to college, I carried on that passion for tutoring and become a Teacher Assistant for both Multivariable Calculus and Financial Mathematics classes to help my peers with their questions on class materials. After graduating from college, I helped my friend in prepping for her GRE because I wanted her to study more effectively for the test instead of wasting time trying out different studying techniques and various test prep materials.While I tutored a broad range of subjects, I am the most passionate about tutoring math as I have firm confidence in my knowledge of mathematics, and I mostly helped students with their math courses. During my tutoring experiences, I am a tutor who likes to utilize examples and real-life scenarios in my explanation.
As a slow learner and an ex high school struggling student, I would have never imagined I would now be pursuing a bachelor's degree in civil engineering at Stony Brook University. Therefore, I want to share my story with all types of students and motivate them to become wherever it is that they aspire to be. As a high school alumnus, current college student and tutor, I emphasize certain techniques to better understand a new foreign concept, I am a firm believer of visual representations, repeated audios, and concept application skills to convert student's weaknesses into their strengths. I love to be part of my students' school journey and tutor them in Spanish, algebra, geometry, calculus, physics, and chemistry. However, my favorite subjects to tutor are mechanics of solid, statics, and dynamics because I find them to be very interesting.When I am not at the library studying, you can always find me watching comedy movies and eating strawberry mochi ice cream.
My name is Melody and I am currently a graduate student at Teachers College, Columbia University studying Clinical Psychology. I have spent the last 6 years studying psychology and sociology. Some of my hobbies are running and doing yoga. I love to play piano, walk my dogs, and eat! I have been to most of western Europe, Mexico, and am planning on traveling some more before I start my doctoral degree.I have been tutoring students for the past 6 years in both formal and informal settings. I have tutored primarily in social sciences (psychology and sociology), English (writing, editing, and literature), and biology. My tutoring style varies depending on who I am working with - for example, if someone is a learner by doing then I won't have them watch me do a practice example, instead I will give them one and have them talk me through the steps they are going through. Each student is unique and should feel empowered! I like to foster that and have each student feel like they are actually in control of their learning.
I am a fully certified NYS Math Teacher who majored in Mathematics and then completed my Master's Degree in Education at Stony Brook. I have more than ten years of teaching experience with students at all levels of learning. I absolutely love to teach! I find it vital to form a bond with my students, to get to know them and really find out what they like, what they are good at, and what will help them to be successful. I have well practiced methods for helping students learn new material and re-learn old or difficult material. I also incorporate methods that help to greatly reduce anxiety and actually make math fun! When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my four year old, Julia, and my crazy dog, Albie. I love to be outdoors, hike, garden and read. I am also doing volunteer fundraising this year, so I am really excited about some of the projects that are coming up to help others get some of the important things that they need. I can't wait to work with your student!
I am a recent medical school graduate from Dow University. Using proven techniques to memorize and understand key concepts, I teach my students how to break down the most difficult questions. It can be an overwhelming task to memorize the massive amount of information expected of a student in an anatomy or physiology course. The key is not memorization, but pacing yourself, practice and placing key concepts at the beginning and end of each session. Having a basic understanding of how our brain memorizes and processes information is an essential prerequisite for all students. I have over 5 years of tutoring experience from medical school in subjects including Anatomy, Physiology, Pharmacology, Microbiology and many other health sciences courses.
I received my degree in Business Management from Stony Brook University in 2013. I started tutoring friends and classmates throughout middle and high school, as well as student taught math classes after finishing the curriculum early and excelling on the Regents exams.I love tutoring in math and science, but also enjoy helping students understand context and better express their ideas in writing and history.I especially enjoy tutoring in math because it brings me great joy when a student masters a concept with which they were previously struggling.I also excel at helping students study and prepare for exams because I help them develop better study habits, as opposed to simply cramming to do well on a single exam.I have a passion to motivate students to achieve their full potential. More than raising test scores, I help each student gain more confidence in their own abilities and increase their proficiency in understanding with context, rather than simply memorizing facts or formulas. I adapt my teaching style to the particular needs of each student, with the objective of guiding students in becoming more capable overall, through practice in sharpening their strengths and overcoming their weaknesses.My hobbies include video games, snowboarding, singing/music, working out/exercise, and doing Tough Mudder! I love doing Tough Mudder because it is both individually challenging, as well as being very team-oriented. This allows me to personally challenge my own limits while also helping others to do the same!

In so doing, I hope not only to improve the students results in the classroom, but to help them see how these subjects apply to the world around them and improve their understanding to a level that can be applied in every aspect of their life going forward. My outside interests include sports and music.
I am a graduate of Stony Brook University with a degree in Biochemistry. I tutored all throughout my college career both in groups and as an individual through the Women in Science and Engineering program. My tutoring philosophy is getting to know how my students learn and then tackle any problems using their strengths. I can explain things a hundred different ways and I won't give up until we feel confident, together, that a concept is understood.

I consider myself to be an active supporter of learning who believes that anyone can excel with the right guidance. As a research biologist, I aim to expand my knowledge for the sake of becoming a better teacher. As a tutor, I aim to ensure that may students have someone to guide them through their own challenges academically.
I am currently a senior studying Math Education at Stony Brook University. I am certified to teach all levels of secondary mathematics in New York State. I also hold a certification in Special Education. I have previously worked ample hours with students in middle and high schools whose abilities greatly varied.I know that most students do not enjoy mathematics, so it is my goal, as a tutor, to make the subject as fun and relatable to those of all ages. I strive to ensure that my students do not simply memorize the information that is presented to them, but also understand the concepts so that they are able to apply them to other ideas in the classroom.I have always enjoyed doing math for as long as I can remember. I hope to inspire some students by showing them that math can be highly rewarding.
I am a graduate of Stony Brook University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a focus on the sciences as I followed a pre-dental course track. Since graduation, I have applied to and been accepted to the Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine, which I will be attending starting in August. I had previously been an SAT tutor with a test prep company for two years and I have experience in tutoring college level Physics at my University. As a result of my work experience and college education, I am proficient in all the SAT sections, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, general Essay Writing, Biochemistry, and Psychology. I personally enjoy tutoring SAT Critical Reading and Physics the most. To me, language is beautiful and I love exploring and discussing the mechanics of analyzing literature (as students must do on the Critical Reading Section). Physics, on the other hand, explains many of the wondrous everyday phenomenon around us. As a child, I would often think about why things moved the way they did and physics gave me those answers. I enjoy traveling and have been to several US states, Egypt several times, Australia, Italy, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Some of my most memorable experiences include scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef and sky diving. I speak Arabic semi-fluently and I enjoy reading and training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing. Overall, I am very approachable and patient and will do my best to serve you as a tutor!

Hello prospective students!My name is Naomi and I am currently a rising 4th-year medical student. I have my B.S. in Biology with a concentration in Neuroscience, and an M.S. in Biomedical Sciences. I have experience tutoring at the undergraduate and graduate levels. I spent a year teaching math and science for a non-profit organization so I have experience with younger age groups as well. I have a great love for the sciences and look forward to working with you.
I am currently a sophomore at Stony Brook University. I am in the process of declaring a Multidisciplinary Studies, which means I'll be studying three concentrations: Philosophy, Religious Studies, and Applied Math and Statistics. I want to use AMS to help me get a job in Data Science, so that I can earn enough to get a PhD. in Philosophy.I have been tutoring ever since high school. I enjoy helping out those around me, whether they are clients or fellow peers. I have experience tutoring in fields as varied as Latin and Calculus. I have continued tutoring in college, helping out students with subjects such as Calculus 2 and Algebra. However, I think my specialty lies in test preparation, specifically with the SAT. Like many students, I had a great deal of trouble preparing for the SAT. But I realized that doing well on the SAT doesn't simply require hard work or mastery over the concepts involved (though they are important), it requires a targeted approach that familiarizes you with the style and approach of the examination. I went through a great deal of practice preparing for the SAT and learned a great deal that I can pass on to other students. Furthermore, I enjoy working with students and am good at understanding at what's going through their heads so that I can help them master concepts more quickly.My favorite hobby would have to be reading, since it is a lifelong passion that my sister imparted to on to me. I also enjoy going to the gym, bicycling, running, and watching The Flash.
Born and raised in Nigeria. I moved to New York for college in 2014 where I double majored in Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics with a minor in Theater at Stony Brook University. As a student, I worked as a residential tutor for subjects in Calculus, Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Trigonometry, etc. Here, I was able to develop a fully dynamic approach to teaching that helped me better adapt to each student's unique needs.I have also worked professionally as an Energy Analyst for a top property management firm, FirstService Residential. I have also worked as a Special Events Coordinator for Immigration Equality where I worked to raise over $75k for the organization.
When I'm tutoring, my goal is not simply to help a student perform for a test or even whole course. That's only goal one.I aim for a tutoring environment which generates discussion, and proposes solutions, in which students think critically about the content at hand, ask their own questions, and exercise ways to find their own answers. Learning in this manner allows students to better face future challenges, and think critically about topics in and out of academia.I look forward to working with you and helping you better yourself, whether that be in a class or for a test, for now and in the future.
I am a senior at Stony Brook University majoring in Applied Mathematics and Statistics along with a Pre-Med Track. I have tutored people in the range of 13-23 years old. I have tutored Calculus for my school's learning center. I love working with people, as I believe it is a learning for me as well. I try to approach things from different angles in order to see what works best for students.
I love tutoring students. Whether it's family, friends, or new students, I've had experiences with all different types of learners which has helped me grow as a tutor and become more flexible through experimenting and developing different teaching modes. In high school, learning to manage my time helped me dissect my learning style which resulted in more efficient and effective study methods. I joined Varsity Tutors because I want to help students not only maximize, but exceed their potential.Outside of academics, I enjoy watching and playing sports, listening to and writing and music, and hanging out with family and friends.
I graduated from SUNY Albany in 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts Cum Laude with a concentration in History, specifically World History, and a minor in Sociology. I finished graduate school in 2014 and received a Master of Arts in Teaching: Social Studies with Honors. I am a hard-working, self motivated educator who is constantly looking to gain experience and sharpen my skills.I have experience teaching 7th grade U.S. History and 12th grade Economics during my time as a student teacher and have experience with my own classroom as a leave replacement in a 9th grade Global History I class. In addition I have worked as a substitute in a variety of classes with students ranging from grades 6-12.Learning does not have to be boring. In fact, I believe it should be something both the student and teacher enjoy. If the teacher is enjoying the subject, the activities and lessons will be presented with more passion and energy. That is something I try to bring to each and every student. If the student is interested and engaged in the material, he or she will have a much easier time remembering the content and become self-motivated to want to learn more. I also strongly believe that each student has his or her own way of learning. Once I get to know a student and figure out what he or she likes or dislikes, I can cater my teaching to fit his or her preferences and enhance the learning experience. I am readily available and comfortable tutoring students from grades 6-12 in History and also Middle School Mathematics.Outside of teaching, I am interested in sports and fitness, cooking, traveling, and science. I am generally curious and love to learn as well as teach.
I graduated from CUNY Hunter College with my Masters in English Literature in 2019, marking the end to a long period of intense study and travel. Since then, I have gone on to become an instructor and tutor for first-year undergraduates and older adult students at my local community college, where I have helped to coach students on ways to improve their writing and research strategies for their schoolwork and other projects. While my field of study focuses primarily on English Literature, I am eager to learn more about History, Philosophy, and the many areas of science.I try to maintain a relaxed environment while working with students, treating my one-on-one sessions like friendly conversations, which I find helps to put students at their ease even in the face of approaching deadlines. That being said, my sessions can be as in-depth as needed. While I am happy to advise on grammar and spelling, I will switch the focus to important content concerns if I see fundamental issues that need to be addressed. My goal is to help students stay on task, and to ensure that their arguments in writing are supported by strong details and the appropriate use of evidence.Teaching undergraduates has given me a unique perspective as I now approach my first year teaching as a certified teacher for high school English. I have seen for myself the importance of college readiness, and I have made it a professional goal of mine to better prepare students for the rigors of academic writing later in life.When I am not reading for research or for fun, I'm a shameless nerd, and I love to talk about my latest hyperfixation in the worlds of movies, TV, anime, or video games.
I, Dylan Trott, am a hardworking Mechanical Engineering student at Stony Brook University that understands the importance of helping others. I believe in uplifting my fellow students and offering my knowledge to any and all students who need it which is why I believe varsity tutoring is a perfect fit for me.
Hello, I am Eun hwa Choi. I am a graduate of Stony Brook University. My major is mathematics. I have experience working as a tutor at Queens Borough Community College. I have experience teaching students statistics, algebra, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus 1 and 2. All subjects must have a solid foundation, but especially in mathematics, unless the basics are solid, you cannot move to the next level. If you don't fully understand algebra, you can't solve more difficult problems than algebra such as trigonometric functions and calculus. We help students who want to build a solid foundation. It also assists students preparing for the ACT exam. Mathematics is a very interesting subject.
I am a graduate of the honors college of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where I received Bachelor of Science degrees in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. My previous experiences include tutoring 7th grade math and serving as a teaching assistant at Stony Brook. I have also been helping friends with their class work since high school. I tutor mathematics and computer science, which I enjoy primarily because of the logic utilized in identifying the problems and applying the correct methods to solve them. In my spare time, I enjoy playing video games, reading, and participating in sports such as soccer, bowling, and tennis.
Tutoring, in my opinion, is a collaborative process between student and tutor that aims to not only relay information but also helps in building free-flowing and independent learning skills in the student. In my eight years or so of tutoring, I have seen that even a tutor can grow with the student in the process. This is because relaying information is, of course, a two way street and in that process the student learns the information that he/she wants to and the tutor finds out how best to incorporate information into the tutoring sessions.As a tutor I try to be aware, first and foremost, that different students have different learning styles and needs. What is more important is to try to make tutoring sessions as lively as possible in order to keep the student interested in the subject matter.I do not just treat tutoring as a form of employment, but it is something I love to do. It is my way of giving back to the community what I have received from it. With that said, I vow to share my knowledge and influence my students as positively as I can.
I studied at Stony Brook University and the Art Institute of Philadelphia, where I received Masters of Social Work and Bachelors of Science degrees, respectively. I am also a licensed social worker in New York State.I tutor students in: Spanish, reading, writing (including college essays),psychology, social sciences, and public speaking.My favorite subjects to tutor are Spanish and reading. I am in love with the Spanish language and sharing my knowledge of it is an immense joy. Reading is also incredibly fun to teach, because it is exciting to see students make progress, buiild confidence, and start to see how big the world becomes as they advance to higher reading levels.My philosophy is simple: keep it fun, and help the student to become self-motivated. Once a student sees that learning can be joyful, rather than painful, they will look forward to honing their skills and tackling increasingly difficult areas of a given subject.I have previously taught: reading to five-year-olds, essay writing to college students, English and Spanish as second languages,and life-management skills in a variety of settings.
I have a B.A. in Political Science and a Masters of Arts in Teaching.For over ten years, I have worked in a high school resource room program providing academic support to students in small groups. My experience is mostly with 11th and 12th grade students and I know their curriculum well. I provide support in most of their major courses. I have had extensive experience tutoring students privately as well, both on the high school and college levels. I have privately tutored students in social studies, social sciences, literature, math and some science. My approach to teaching is very student centered because I think each student needs to be treated as an individual to maximize their educational experience. In my spare time, I enjoy music, art and the beach.
This letter is to introduce myself and acknowledge my interest in tutoring. I am a first year graduate student at Seton Hall University working towards my Ph.D. at Counseling Psychology. I have got my Bachelors of Science in Pre-medicine and Psychology and my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I aspire to be a professor once I get my doctorate because teaching has always been a passion along with continuing clinical work and research.I graduated with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Syracuse University in Dec, 2016. During my time there, I have worked with faculty members in teaching masters level course (Psychopathology), organizing conferences, presenting on topic of interest and mentoring incoming masters students. Through these experiences I have gained leadership, organization and teaching skills that will highly coincide with the job requirements. I am well aware of the dedication, effort, creativity and commitment required for becoming a tutor.My teaching and mentor style is to empower students. I believe the act of teaching is creative and fluid where the teacher has to mold their teaching style according to the student's requirements and learning style. I am a firm believer that every person have their own unique learning style and it can be highly beneficial for the student if they feel supported and safe to take risks and build confidence in the subject matter they are struggling in.I am proficient in grade and high school level reading, writing, math, algebra, statistics. Geometry and Biology. As these topics can be challenging and concepts hard to grasp, I like to use creative, fun ways to relate them to real life problems to make better meaning of it.Outside of school and research, I like to hike with my puppy, read and paint.I appreciate your time to review my credentials and experience. Thank you for your consideration.
