Practice makes perfect.If you are a beginner, I can help get you going.

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.

Throughout my academic career, I always found ways to make hours of studying enjoyable by coming up with silly mnemonics, jokes, and puns about the material I would have to otherwise dryly trudge through. Whether it was my preparation for AP exam week, pre-med course midterms, MCAT, medical school finals, or my USMLE Step exams, I always found that the best way to manage stress, avoid burnout, and memorize material effectively was to make it fun rather than a chore. By combining my hobby of performing improvisational comedy with my passion for teaching, I've developed an engaging style of tutoring over my 3 years of experience as a college and med school TA. After graduation from St. George's University School of Medicine, I'll be pursuing an MBA in healthcare management and applying for residency in psychiatry, a field I'm deeply passionate about.

Long ago in the land of Stony Brook, one man's quest to find out what makes a good story began. For 8 semesters he studied why the pen is mightier than the sword. Between classes and trying to unwind from the day's deep discussions of literature, video games provided a sweet escape from the mentally taxing work and a reminder that people can still have fun writing. James has been playing games since he was three. Sometimes the two would even blend and like a rouge pick-pocketing a noble, breath of the wild was completed while complaining about The Scarlet letter. For social gatherings, trading card games and Dungeons and Dragons were the best option. School gave him the knowledge of analytic writing to argue any point, D&D allowed him to have fun writing about fantasy and science fiction. The love of fantasy comes from a mentor, a step father who hoards comics and books. The classics were covered at school and Iron Man was taken care of at home. Before his time at the Brook, he had won an award for writing in high school which, kick started his studies, and bought a few new cards too. Writing about games is a passion that has guided many a paper and hopefully, will have his name go down in history. A passion for teaching will allow him to share not only his love and content knowledge on various topics, but convey the power of words to help make the world a better place.

Hello, prospective students! I have made a life of teaching and studying. Among the subjects to which I have given the most attention are philosophy and history, each of which I have also taught at a college level. My courses have always been writing-intensive, honing my skills at guiding students in mastering their self-expression in English. I have also taught test preparation courses for the SAT, GRE, and LSAT. The most rewarding of all my teaching endeavors has been helping guide my son through his remote and online education. Now I want to put all of this to use for students here at Varsity Tutors. Any student can improve with the right personal care and hard work, and I am committed to providing the attention and support you need.

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 graduated from Stony Brook University in NY with my Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences with a focus on Emergency Medicine. I am currently enrolled in a Masters of Physician Assistant Program at Thiel College. My strength is that I have a wide range of education and have developed several study stragies through trial and error. I have great interpersonal skills which have really allowed me to be an excellent listener and be very observative. As a research assistant in the Social Competence and Treatment Lab in the psychology department at my university, my role as a behavioral coder had really allowed me to develop a unique skill of being able to analyze and be alert to body language and verbal ques that may normally go unnoticed. As a graduate student pursuing medicine, I am patient and acknowledge the dedication and work ethic it takes to do well academically. In my free time, I really enjoy working with my hands and crafting, I enjoy drawing, making collages, and painting. I make handmade jewelry and it keeps me discipled to not give up because it is difficult and frustrating at times when I don't get a certain skill perfect. Thank you

Im a graduate of Stony Brook University. I have my Bachelor of Science in Business Management Operations and International Business. Versed in global business with exposure to international leadership experience, I have taught English to English Professors at Changsha University of Science and Engineering in China. I have written, developed, and executed curriculums ranging from topics like ESL to Social Entrepreneurship and of varying proficiency levels. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, literature, and business consultancy. Im here to help in any stage of the writing process from brainstorming to editing a final paper. Im available for personal statements, literature analysis, resume writing, and creative writing. Im also versed in business writing from business plans to marketing strategy and elevator pitches. I believe in efficient and effective foundational structure building in any type of learning process, especially with writing. I work with students to set attainable goals to manage stress, expectations, and apply critical knowledge of the material into transferable skills.Outside my studies, I have achieved my piano Certificate of Merit from the Music Teachers Association of California after ten plus years. Finally, partaking in my school's debating society has taught me how to organize my ideas in a coherent style. For personal enjoyment, I submit my work to literary publications such as The Antigonish Review, Uncanny Magazine, Feminine Inquiry, and the Poetry Foundation.

Hello! I've always believed that learning should feel supportive, inspiring, and even fun. When I was growing up, I didn't always have the guidance I needed at home, and I often wished for a teacher who could really understand me. That's why I'm so passionate about tutoringI want to be that relatable, encouraging teacher for my students, the one who helps them feel seen and capable. I've been lucky to work with students of all ages and backgrounds: adults learning English as a new language, high school students in Ecuador, and elementary and middle school students here in the U.S. I tutor English Language Arts, English as a New/Second Language, and Spanishwith a special love for ENL and Spanish, because I enjoy showing students how language works like a puzzle and watching them light up when it finally clicks. I earned my B.A. in Linguistics from Stony Brook University and my M.A. in Literacy from Touro College, and I've recently completed a program in School District Administration. But more than my degrees, what I bring to tutoring is my belief that every student learns in their own unique way. My style is personal, flexible, and creativeI take time to really get to know you, figure out what's standing in your way, and come up with fun and effective strategies to help you grow. Outside of teaching, I love Latin dance (I even perform and compete in salsa!), and I also have a nerdy side that enjoys video games, puzzles, and Legos. Traveling and trying new things are big parts of my life too. All of these interests remind me that learning doesn't just happen in classroomsit happens everywhere when you're curious and open. If you're looking for a tutor who will meet you where you are, cheer you on, and help you reach your goals in a way that feels comfortable and motivating, I'd be honored to work with you.

I am excited to work with you!

I have extensive experience working with students prepping for Elementary and Intermediate school's State-Wide Tests based on the ELA, Math, and Science Common Core Curriculum. I have a strong linguistics background in syntax, phonetics, phonics, and etc. I am passionate about educating and finding methods of comprehension that best work for you!

I graduated from SUNY Maritime College in 2012 with a bachelor's degree in business, and I am now studying physics at Stony Brook University. My personal philosophy is that anything is possible when someone has a goal he or she set for herself or himself and he or she willing to put in the effort to attain that goal, even if the steps in between are difficult or not very interesting to them. That goal can be as simple as passing a single test or as big as knowing exactly what they want to do one day and working as hard as they can to achieve it. My favorite subject is Physics because I love seeing how the universe works; I also enjoy math because it's a huge part of Physics!My method is to first make sure the student knows exactly what the question is asking them to find, then break the question down into as many simple steps as needed to show the student how to progress to the right answer. Rather than perform each step for them, I prefer to guide the student from one step to the next ensuring they understand why each step is necessary before moving on to the next. Besides that, practice makes perfect!

Hello, my name is Andrew. I am a currently a Business Management student in New York. I honed my tutoring skills starting from when I was a class tutor for my AP Biology class at my high school where I helped many of my peers attain 4s and 5s on the AP Bio exam. I have pride on being able to balance a busy extracurricular lifestyle as well as a rigorous academic schedule because I know how much value Universities put on a "well-rounded" student. I look forward to hearing more about you!
