I have worked hard in the subjects that I excel in to get where I currently am. I am an undergraduate student at Stony Brook University majoring in Mathematics, so you could say that Math and me really click. I have worked with others, trying to better help them obtain a better understanding of math and they have shown bright results.My hobbies include some outdoor activities like going row boating or hanging with friends. I sometimes spend time working on my Youtube channel.

My name is Selin Yalcin and I am thrilled to be your Tutor. I am an enthusiastic and motivated individual who loves to help teach students in grades K-12 while acting as a coach to advise and maximize the students' learning gains and build their self-confidence. I am a graduate of Stony Brook University with a bachelor's degree in both Biology and Human Evolutionary Biology and am currently a student in Boston University's Master's Anatomy Program with a teaching module. I graduated with honors distinction and also worked as a tutor in a learning center. I am driven but also compassionate toward students. As a result of my work in the learning center, I am used to effectively communicating with a student to identify any gaps in their skill or knowledge and how to resolve issues. I am able to teach a variety of STEM subjects such as Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Living Environment, Biology, Chemistry, and Anatomy. I am also experienced in teaching the math portion of both the SAT and ACT, one of my former students scored a 1520 on their SAT.

Pursuing a Grad Degree in Biomedical Engineering following an undergrad degree in the same field, am looking to build new ways to interface technology with our humanity and society! As such, I am well versed in a breadth of STEM fields, and have plenty of experience teaching them as well. Since my interests are in research, I stay away with dead-end "memorize this equation" methods taught in schools, since to reach any higher level of understanding, one needs basic understanding first. I believe this to be critical, especially if you are pursuing any sort of higher end programming in your future.

She has a passion to use her knowledge and skills to help younger generations to learn and grow. Yiyang tutors biology-related subjects at all levels from high school to graduate school.

I am a junior studying computer science at Stony Brook University. I enjoy teaching so I would love more opportunities to teach. I taught as an undergraduate teaching assistant for a computer science course before. I like to exercise and play video games for fun.

I am a biology major at Stony Brook University. I will be graduating this coming December and will be applying to medical schools for next year. Since I was young science especially biology has always fascinated me. Biology is the study of life and is a science that all of us can relate to. Growing up I too struggled in grade school and would often need the help of tutors to enrich my learning experience.Throughout this journey I've had the incredible opportunity of being tutored by some of the best teachers, many of whom explained the material better than my own professors did. Each of these tutors had their own individual styles of teaching and explaining concepts, and I have tried my best to assimilate their techniques when I teach students. My approach to teaching is very eclectic as I pick and choose the best strategies and ways to help students learn the material. I served 3 semesters as a biology teaching assistant at Stony Brook where I tutored students in subjects like Cancer biology and Cellular biology. Having taken the AP Biology exam and the SAT II Biology E/M in high school I also am aware of the type of material that is being tested in high school.With every student I meet I try to get to know their unique circumstances. Having a syllabus of their course work would be helpful since it would allow me to see which topics I should be focusing on. I am very willing to help my students succeed and welcome them to email me whenever they have questions.Aside from school, I have many interests and hobbies. I have been an avid piano player for the last 12 years and performed many times for NYSSMA. I am also a practitioner of Karate which I have also been doing for about 12 years. During my free time I like to read non-fiction books and write blogs online. I enjoy meeting new people and believe everyone has an interesting story to tell.

I have received my Bachelor of Science degree from Stony Brook University in May 2014, graduating with Summa Cum Laude distinction. In college, I have studied biochemistry as a major, philosophy as a minor, and have been an active teaching assistant for general chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and genetics at the University. Throughout these wonderful experiences, I have worked with many students under many different settings and have experience in both one-on-one tutoring and group tutoring. Not only am I diligent in actively engaging my students into the academic material, but I am also experienced in coming up with strategic methods as to how they can improve. I try to look out for the cause of the students’ confusion, and then move on to resolve it by teaching the student the key concepts that are necessary for understanding the material. As of now, I am tutoring Algebra, Algebra 2, Algebra 3/4, Arithmetic, Elementary Math, Middle School Math, Pre-Algebra, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, Honors Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, Physiology, MCAT Biological Sciences, and MCAT Physical Sciences. Every student deserves the most attention that he or she needs, and I am deeply committed, as well as strongly determined, to help my students excel in these areas.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Marine Science from the University of South Carolina in 2014. I received my Master of Science in Marine and Atmospheric Science from Stony Brook University in 2016. I have experience as a TA for undergraduate lab sections and experience mentoring undergraduates. I am available to tutor for ecology, environmental science, and microbiology. My favorite subject to tutor is ecology because it is what I do every day at my job. My teaching philosophy is to find a way to convey information that is tailored to how each student learns, since everyone learns differently.Outside of academia, I am a marathon runner and am very passionate about fitness. I also enjoy reading and am teaching myself how to code.

I am a current civil engineering graduate at Stony Brook University. I enjoy helping students in my free time, especially those with interests associated with STEM, to understand the material they are learning in their academics.I am also a current tunnel engineering intern for Mott MacDonald, and am in the process of obtaining my EIT, as I passed my FE - Civil Exam in the fall of 2022!

After working as a high school English teacher in New York for ten years, I came to Austin to pursue a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction at UT.Working with students on an individual basis is a wonderful opportunity for me to craft a personalized approach to subject matter and techniques. I especially enjoy working with students on their writing, whether personal essays or application statements that they have time to edit and revise, or on-demand writing tasks that appear on tests like the SAT or the AP Exam.

I am a well-rounded individual that is able to communicate fantastically with kids. I never let myself get frustrated with pupils, which is a strength of mine as I can explain the same concept in a variety of ways until I feel comprehension has finally been reached. My ultimate goal is not to simply make sure a child knows a formula, but more importantly the concept behind that formula, and under what circumstances it needs to be applied. With my help, I can make sure pupils learn not only the what and when of a concept, but also the why and how. In my eyes, very few things are as fulfilling as teaching and making friends in the process.

Hi! My name is Mandy, and I am a Biochemistry and Psychology double major with a minor in Finance at Stony Brook University. I am passionate about helping students build confidence in their abilities and achieve their academic goals. As an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for Introductory Biology Laboratory at Stony Brook University, I work closely with students to explain complex concepts, guide laboratory activities, teach data analysis using Excel, and help students improve their scientific writing skills. Through this experience, I have learned that every student learns differently, and I enjoy adapting my teaching style to meet each student's individual needs. I tutor biology, chemistry, psychology, ACT preparation, and study skills for middle school, high school, and college students. My approach focuses on breaking down challenging topics into manageable steps while encouraging students to think critically and develop effective problem-solving strategies. I strive to create a supportive and welcoming environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and learning from mistakes. As a student myself, I understand the challenges that come with balancing coursework, exams, and extracurricular responsibilities. Because of this, I emphasize not only subject mastery but also strong study habits, organization, and confidence-building techniques that students can apply throughout their academic journey. Whether you're preparing for an important exam, looking to improve your grades, or seeking a deeper understanding of a subject, I would love to help. I look forward to working with you and supporting your success!

I have my masters in Occupational Therapy and graduated from NYU. I also have my Bachelors of Art in Psychology and graduated from Stony Brook University. I have been working with students with special needs for 9 years. I primarily work with fine motor skills including handwriting and formation of letters. I collaborate with teachers and will work with them in the classroom and follow the common core standards. I also communicate with parents and will work on meeting the goals of the student. If you decide to work with me, I promise to be flexible, patient, and hardworking.

I am a Wake Forest University graduate with a degree in Psychology, and I am currently pursuing a career as a physical therapist.I have over 5 years of tutoring experience with students ranging from elementary to college level, tutoring math, reading, writing, and science. I have also had experience tutoring the SAT, as well as helping high school juniors and seniors with their college application process and essay writing.Throughout the years I've been a student, I've had many teachers and tutors, both good and bad. My personal philosophy is to respect my students and engage with them on their terms, and to foster a sense of purpose and positive attitude towards whatever I'm tutoring. I believe that a positive student-teacher relationship creates the best learning environment, and I try to achieve this with each of my students.I am a basketball junkie. I also enjoy football, lounging with my dog, and watching Netflix.

I've been a university professor for the past five years and have been tutoring for as long as I can remember. I began tutoring informally while I was still in high school, helping friends get ready for their SATs, helping them with assignments. I realized quickly that I was suddenly helping half of my school so I decided to make some fliers, and some money, and offer my tutoring to anyone and everyone in my hometown. Suffice to say, some odd years have gone by since then and now, even as a full-time professor, I find myself enjoying the experience of tutoring and helping students on an individual level enough to continue doing it. With a background in the sciences and mathematics, and a graduate degree in philosophy I'm incredibly well-rounded in terms of what I'm capable of teaching and moreover, have a generally positive pedagogical approach to everything; I really do love teaching. Even fields in which I have little experience become a contest with myself to master solely for the sake of helping a student. I have extensive experience in reading, writing, and editing (I've been published several times over as both head author and editor) and its something that I truly love to do. I currently hold three Undergraduate degrees in Mathematics, Physics, and Linguistics, as well as two Graduate degrees in Philosophy and Theology. From basic English to advanced Banjo I look forward to engaging in any assignment that anyone may have for me!

I graduated from Stony Brook University with a Bachelor's degree in Physics through the Honors College program. I've also taught AP Physics and general science at Upper Room Christian School for one year. In my experience, I've heard many students say they can't or they're too "stupid" to do something. I believe that no student is unintelligent or incapable. Everyone is more than able, through some effort and a little bit of help, to achieve any goal in life, academic or otherwise. My goal is to help people achieve and realize the potential that lies inside of them.In addition to Science and Math, I also have an interest in music (guitar) and English and am available to tutor in those subjects as well.

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 first became interested in tutoring while I was pursuing my Bachelor of Science degree in Integrated Biology at the University of Vermont. I had a wonderful supplemental instructor the first semester of my freshman year, and my experience working with her and having her help me excel made me want to do the same for others. That initial transition into college was difficult for me, but with my tutors help I ended up finishing that first semester strong with a 4.0 GPA. Like my first tutor, I strive to provide students with the skills necessary for them to excel. I want to cultivate open minds, help students look at the world critically, and most of all help them believe in their own capacity to be great.At the start of my sophomore year of college and until graduation, I myself started to work as a University tutor and supplemental instructor in Biology, Calculus and Chemistry. Because I worked for the university in the "Center for Academic Success", tutors were held to a very high standard for their understanding of the material. My boss would regularly come in unannounced when I was tutoring to evaluate and confirm my ability to teach at a high level. I worked 10-20 hours per week tutoring college students in addition to attending school full time and playing on the University club hockey team. My responsibilities as a tutor included developing lesson plans, interactive sessions, games, and teaching one-on-one or to a group in a classroom setting. Balancing a job, education, and sport helped me develop important time management and organizational skills. Likewise, being on a team teaches one responsibility, dependability and the importance of working together as a team.In addition to tutoring in a classroom session, I also have worked for several years as a surgical dental assistant and am now pursuing my Doctorate in Dental Surgery at Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine. Working as a surgical dental assistant helped me think of problems in a new way. It took the educational knowledge I had and applied that to real life settings. The real world is not like a text book or exam. It is messy and things may not go as planned. Working with patients in a medical setting has shown me this the hard way and has taught me to think outside the box.I decided to go into Dentistry after college because I enjoy healthcare, helping others, and I wanted a profession where I can continue to teach everyday. Educating my patients about the fundamentals of proper oral health is crucial to long term prognosis and I believe the same is true for students when tutoring. Along with the foundations, proper communication, passion, trust, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and extensive scientific knowledge are all qualities that make up a good dentists and attributes that I strive for which can easily be translated to the tutoring setting.My reason for wanting to return to tutoring once again is simple. I miss it. I miss the joy of helping a student and seeing that "aha" moment occur once everything clicks. From my undergraduate degree in Biology and now soon to be Doctorate in Dental Surgery, I have a vast knowledge of the Biological and Health Sciences that I am looking to share with others that need the help, just like I did that one day not too long ago. I truly look forward to being able to help others learn and excel both within and outside the classroom.

My name is Rachel! I am a college English professor at Suffolk County Community College , and have been tutoring students of all ages in English, math, and history for ten years. I experience joy every time I can help a struggling student understand, or even enjoy a subject. I am very experienced in tailoring lessons to meet an individual's needs, so no matter what your issue is, we can figure out how to solve it together! I look forward to talking to you.

You can call me Cassy. I've got a degree in journalism and I run a food blog that offers comfort food options for people with food allergies. I've been a writer for almost ten years, published in high school and focused on broadcast journalism until I moved back to Atlanta. I'm interested in helping students strengthen writing abilities, editing skills, proofreading, and organization.

I am a sophomore at Stony Brook University on the pre- med track studying towards a major in Psychology. I love Biology, chemistry, and Psychology and am currently teaching my own chemistry course at Stony Brook University under the guidance of Dr. Troy Wolfskill, the head of the chemistry department at the university. So far I love my teaching position as it not only brings me happiness in helping others succeed, but it helps me build a stronger understanding on how to be a better instructor. When I teach, I try not to lecture the student, but engage them by connecting what I teach with real-life scenarios. Especially in hard sciences like biology, this makes it much easier for students to understand the topic. Outside of academia, I am a professional swimmer of 15 years, I love to hike, bike, and scuba dive. I also work part time as a model and am a market specialist for Bai, a drink company based in the northeastern America.

I am an economics major with a strong interest in Macroeconomics. I love to explore different economic journals to get a head start on my academic career. I enjoy teaching other students because it helps them succeed in their studies. It also helps me learn things that I may not have come across before. I competitively play chess and am a part of the badminton club at my university. I think it is very important to stay well-rounded in life, so I take great interest in subjects outside my field of study. These include mathematics, political science, history and physics.

I have been tutoring students since high school. It is an aspect of my life that I find very rewarding. To be able to take someone with an attitude of the topic being too hard to being confident enough to approach any challenge. I love showing how a deeper understanding can translate to being able to adapt to any situation you encounter on the test. This approach served me well as both an undergraduate and graduate teaching assistant. This is more than a career for me, it is a life style of constantly learning and sharing knowledge.

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 mechanical engineering student at Stony Brook University in an accelerated B.E./M.S. program. Currently I am finishing up both of my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I decided to become a tutor because I love academia, and I use math as well as physics daily. After my first few sessions I came to love it, and I have been doing it for a number of years now. I have tutored students ranging from elementary school through college, but my favorite level to help students is high school. In my sessions I like to show students the reason behind everything. I believe if you know why you're doing something, you can more easily understand how to do it. When I have some free time I like to work on small engineering projects. I just got my hands on a programmable micro-controller, and I have been making it do some pretty neat things! I also like to go biking.

I am currently a recent M.S. graduate in Speech-Language Pathology. My clinical experiences with various populations, both children and adults, have taught me the importance of creativity and personalizing session. I am dedicated to motivate each student to reach his/her personal goals, and adapt to each students interests through the learning process.I have 6 years of experience working children in the special education setting. I previously worked as in teacher assistant in both the preschool and elementary school. My duties included monitoring classroom, preparing activities, encouraging the growth of ADL skills, as well as support their motor, speech and language, and academic development. I found my experiences in this setting both enlightening and rewarding. This fostered my passion to pursue speech-language pathology.My tutoring experiences include both young students and adults. During my undergraduate career at Stony Brook University, I tutored international students in English for more than a year. I was also a teacher assistant for 100 students in an Intro to Linguistics class, where I held review sessions and made worksheets. I have also had experiences tutoring 3rd grade and 7th grade students, individually and in the group setting. I primarily tutored in the subject of elementary mathematics and algebra.In addition, I have also tutored both 1st and 2nd grade classrooms for two years at a NYC DOE school in the Lower East Side. I have become familiar with the Common Core curriculum. I primarily assisted students throughout a variety of academic subjects, such as reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. It was beautiful to watch students of all academic levels reach their own milestones over these two years. I learned so much about how each student approached the different aspects of the common core curriculum, as well as their learning styles. I encouraged each student to celebrate even their smallest achievements, and was touched by the amount of curiosity and passion students developed in the classroom setting.As a continuous learner myself, I have compassion, patience, and empathy for students who may find difficulty in understanding particular subjects and content. When I heard of Varsity Tutors from a colleague, I was encouraged and eager to share my passion of teaching, motivating, and challenging others in each students academic journey. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to meeting you soon!

Hi! I'm Aderinsola, (Sola for short) and I graduated with my Bachelors in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University and my Masters in Biophysics/Physiology from Stony Brook University. While I was in college, I realized that the best way to comprehend what is taught isn't always in a classroom, but through your peers so I'm ready to help you in any way I can by simplifying everything into everyday language.I most recently worked with an enrichment program teaching science and math to elementary, middle, and high school aged children, and I figured that I loved it so much that I should expand past the four walls of my school. Plus I love the look on kids' faces when they finally get it!To some people math looks like a whole different language, but I understand it enough to turn it into simple english. I promise it's not as hard as they might make it in the classroom and I'm here to strengthen your skills so that you can see that too!I also LOVE science, even went back and got a second degree in it, so I'm pretty well rounded when it comes to biology, biochemistry, and physiology. Again, for some these subjects seem like a different, intangible world, but I promise that I can make it real, tangible and understandable.I want to help students as much as possible, and I plan on doing so through some innovative and exciting learning. I'm easy to reach and I'll always provide fast responses.Please feel free to contact me!

I am a caring, passionate, and innnovative English language arts and writing teacher who is ready to help children with any and all of their verbal, reading, grammar, or writing needs. I am a graduate of Providence College, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English, taking many pre- and post-1800 English courses, including Victorian (19th c.) literature, Shakespeare's Tragedies and Romances, and a survey course on Geoffrey Chaucer and his contemporaries. I also took many elective courses in creative writing and theatre outside of my major requirements, such as: Theatre Appreciation, Public Speaking, Oral Interpretation, Short Story Fiction, and Prose Poetry. I recently graduated from Stony Brook University with my Master of Arts in Teaching English. At Stony Brook, I took graduate English courses such as 20th Century American Poetry and 20th Century American Fiction, while also completing teaching courses required for certification (Special Education, Human Development, Methods of Teaching English I and II, and Foundations of Education). I am now certified by New York State to teach grades 5 through 12, though I have also worked with younger age groups as a substitute English teacher at Riverhead Charter School (Calverton, N.Y.) and St. Edward the Confessor (Syosset, N.Y.). Currently, I am employed as a fifth grade English/Math co-teacher at Riverhead Charter School, where I differentiate instruction for many students with disabilities while meeting the learning standards of Common Core for all of my students. However, I am not one to sit still and in my free time I would love to help other students improve their ELA skills and also learn to love writing and reading for its own sake. I look forward to hearing from anyone interested in my tutoring help!

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 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!

Writing Is My Passion Love of language motivates me. Sharing that love is what I do. At 9, I discovered the joy of writing my inner thoughts on paper. I attribute my aha moment to my fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Whitehill, who recognized something in me that I hadn't figured a way to express, yet. She had read My Brother Sam is Dead, by James Lincoln and Christopher Collier aloud, and asked us to write a reaction to the novel. Something in me ignited that day. As a teacher, I honor my inner voice by helping students of all ages find themselves through language. I've done just about any job you could imagine from waitressing to investigating credit card fraud. Mostly, I've written and have been fortunate to earn money from my writing. Throughout 30 years I've written: journalism pieces, essays, business proposals, speeches, public relations materials as well as short stories, poems, lyrics, and fiction. I bring a wealth of real-world experience to the classroom, emphasizing the origin of creation, using many sources of knowledge. Everyone has a story to tell from rapper or spray paint artist to parent or child. Each person has a unique voice to share with the world. I help students write better using their own voice. I value the dynamic student-teacher relationship as a fundamental basis of learning and am a student-focused teacher. My classroom, or (one-on-one session) is conducted with integrity and respect for learning and focused on studying written language. As a tutor, I approach the lesson by simultaneously assessing his/her need and ability. Then step-by-step we work on the project at hand. I'm very efficient with my use of time. I strive to help my students thrive and grow to cultivate a lifelong love of language.

I currently have an honors degree from Stony Brook University in Applied Mathematics andSstatistics, I am also currently in graduate school at Stony Brook University to receive my Masters in Teaching.Working with students has always been a passion of mine and is now something I am pursuing. I currently work as a part-time dance instructor and teach children ranging from the ages 2 to 18. Through this job experience I have helped encourage and inspire student to do their best and have also helped tutor these student on occasion in between classes. I would love to continue to help students achieve their goals and push each student to their fullest potential!

I believe my scientific and academic backgrounds combined with my unique life experiences of travel and running my own business give me a unique perspective to educate students. My formal learning is not as a teacher or educator, but I think that helps to give students a different perspective to learning science, technology, engineering and mathematics.I have taught English in Japan and have tutored various Math and Sciences over the years.
