Award-Winning Tutors from University at Buffalo

I have a wide breadth of knowledge about engineering pedagogy, specifically mechanical engineering. I have a degree in mechanical engineering and a minor in mathematics. I would love to help you excel in your courses, and look forward to working together!

I just graduated from SUNY Fredonia with a B.S. in Biology with minors in Chemistry and Public Health. I have worked as a tutor in biology and chemistry at my college and have worked to pioneer a research tutoring program. I have recently started medical school at Jacobs School of Medicine. I'm here to help middle school, high school, and college aged students with a plethora of different subjects. I would love to help you with science related questions, but I can help you in other areas as well. Happy studying!

I am a former Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Johnson C. Smith University. I have over thirty years experience teaching General Chemistry, Analytical (qualitative, quantitative and instrumentation), and Physical Chemistry (thermodynamics and quantum .) Expertise in nanochemistry and surface chemistry. I am a very good at understanding where your conceptual understanding is leading you astray. I am excellent at providing stategies for solving problems.

I'm Savannah-- I am a recent PhD graduate with experience teaching college-level Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, Genetics, and Biochemistry. I am dedicated to helping all students succeed and am excited to guide you on your academic journey in biology.

My goal is to inspire students to strive for greatness at all levels of their lives. Whether that's simply for one assignment or an entire course, I will be there guiding them along with whatever difficulties lie ahead. At the same time, I hope that each student will allow me the opportunity to better improve myself as both an educator and as a person. I strive for perfection in everything I do, so I am always seeking to improve myself. At the end of the day, I will always take the time to assist each person that comes to me to the best of my abilities, and hopefully being tutored by me will be an enjoyable experience for each student.

Mathematics was a subject that I had struggled with during my primary and secondary education. I know how frustrating math can be, but with little encouragement and help, anyone can succeed in math.Even though my struggles with math through out the high school years, today Im a certified math teacher and tutor math. I have over 7 years of experience and I love every second of it.I specialize in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I & 2, Geometry and Test Prep (SAT and ACT Math). Every student has different needs and abilities. After assessing each student, (how they learn, what are their needs and abilities), I customize each lessons to address students needs and to build his/her confidence.

As a dedicated medical student at Wake Forest School of Medicine with a Bachelor's in Biomedical Sciences from the University at Buffalo, I am passionate about guiding students toward academic success. With over 2 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in subjects such as MCAT, ACT prep, AP English Language and Composition, and middle school English and reading. My teaching philosophy centers on creating engaging, tailored lesson plans that address individual student needs and foster confidence. I believe in making learning enjoyable and attainable, and I utilize practice questions and timed exercises to prepare students for success in standardized exams. My commitment to education is reflected in my academic achievements, including multiple gold medals in Spanish competitions. I look forward to inspiring students to reach their goals and find joy in their learning journey.

Greetings parents and students, thank you for visiting my page. I am a Chinese American, who finished my K-12 education in China. Under the Chinese education system, I have a very strong fundamental knowledge of math and science. I learned college level general Physics in grade 8, general Chemistry in grade 9, and college Calculus in grade 10. So if you need any help in these subjects, you are in good hands.I have years of tutoring experience and am friendly, patient and good at explaining things. When you come to me for help in your studies, I am not here as your tutor, I am here as your friend, you'll have all my patience and devotion in helping you do well in your test and develop interest in the subject.Talk to me about any problem you encounter, feel free to let me know your challenges, and I will do my best to turn those challenges into your best areas.

I have been called a professor, a teacher, a tutor, and a coach; but I prefer to be known as an educator. In each of these roles that I've played what remains most important to me are the lessons that transcend the subject. While a passing grade or a high score is a laudable accomplishment, I believe real praise should be reserved for the process. In my view, approaching a task with integrity constitutes a greater victory than any possible result. Self-reliance, a positive attitude, the benefits of practice, being responsible: these lessons enable students to succeed in both an immediate and long-term sense. These are the lessons that will empower students to better themselves in the classroom and outside of it. If I do my job correctly, my students will come to recognize that they do not need me to accomplish what they've set out to do.I have the pedigree to teach at the highest levels. I have a doctorate in Comparative Literature, I have been an instructor at the university level for eight years, I have taught internationally, and I have assisted students of all ages in everything from physics to philosophy. It has been a great privilege to have the opportunities that I have had to develop myself within this vocation. I believe, however, that my qualifications would mean little if they were not complimented by a passionate dedication to education. I feel honored to be placed in a position to help people grow, not simply as students, but as citizens of this world.

I have a Bachelor's of Science degree as well as a Master's of Science degree in Applied Physiology. My educational experiences included numerous classes in biology, anatomy and physiology, nutrition, and general sciences. While I was working towards my degrees I had a Teaching Assistantship, which meant I taught lab sessions and tutored my peers who needed extra help. I currently educate and mentor women with autoimmune diseases on how to reverse their autoimmune symptoms using various lifestyle shifts and discovering the root cause of their autoimmunity. I love helping people learn the information they need to know to better themselves, whether it's to improve their health, do well on an exam, or to simply improve their knowledge in the sciences.

Hello All! My name is Francis and I am excited to be your tutor here on Varsity Tutors. A little about myself, I am a Doctorate of Pharmacy holder which I obtained during my tenure in Miami, Flordia.. Go Dolphins! I'm a big beach head, and I love to help others succeed in where they may be experiencing difficulty. Feel free to ask me anything and we can get through it together.

I graduated from Binghamton State University in 2010 with a B.S. in Biology and a B.A. in Spanish. After completing my undergraduate studies, I moved back closer to home and continued on with Romance Languages and Literature Studies in graduate school. In 2012, I received my M.A. Degree from St. John's University, Queens, NY. Since 2012, I have been working toward a Ph.D. in Spanish at the University at Buffalo. At the University at Buffalo, I worked for 5 years as a Spanish language instructor to undergraduate students. This upcoming academic year I will be teaching Spanish in a private high school in Queens, New York.In terms of my teaching experience, I have also familiarized myself with Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) through teaching pedagogy courses as well as numerous pedagogical workshops. CLT has oriented my teaching toward a more daily, real-life usage of the language, while reducing its sometimes overwhelming grammatical load.

I am confident that my experience in chemistry and math, and devotion to helping others in education can be utilized to enhance students' understanding of these subjects during our one-on-one tutoring sessions. I would like to build a close relationship with students and create a comfortable environment so that we may have good communication as we learn together. I have enjoyed my tutoring jobs more than any others that I have experienced, because it brought me joy to see the relief on a student's face after figuring out the answer to a hard question and realizing that they were smart and capable of solving them with their own abilities. With an interest and complete understanding in solving chemistry and math problems, I believe that my true calling in life is to aid others by analyzing problems together and guiding them through different procedures with simple techniques that will expand their knowledge, and hopefully motivate them to improve their education in an enjoyable manner. I can't see myself doing anything else except striving to make a difference in the educational world, no matter how small.

Undergraduate student with a passion for learning and teaching. I have come to understand the importance of tutoring from the tutors I have worked with and want to share that experience with others. Furthermore, I believe I become more successful the more I help others to become successful.

I am a graduate of the University at Buffalo. I received a Master of Arts in Biology. While obtaining my degree, I created and ran my own internet website businesses. I also worked as a dental assistant in hopes of one day becoming a dentist. I love helping people and making them smile, especially if they are having a difficult time learning a specific concept or idea. My friends and family always come to me for help with science and math problems because I'm patient, fun, funny, understanding, and know how to explain topics in a wide variety of ways.My teaching style is unique. I first listen to my students and learn how they like to learn, and memorize new techniques and skills. After learning about my students, I devise strategies to best fit their study habits. I relate problems to what they like (always trying to make learning fun). I give students pointers on how to learn and thrive in an academic setting.Besides science and math I love sports, music (especially the drums), and cooking. I love all professional sports including football, hockey, basketball, and baseball. I play racquetball once a week and go to the gym daily. I've played the drums and percussion my whole life, and I love cooking for my friends and family.

I was not born to a family with money; but my education has opened doors for me around the world. I have been a Teaching Assistant for some of this country's brightest students at Princeton University; I have worked as a Lab Instructor at the University at Buffalo and taught a seminar course of my own design as an Adjunct Instructor. I have studied at universities in four countries and earned multiple graduate degrees in disparate fields (Political Science & Biology), while earning scholarships to pay my way. I know this stuff; and I know *how* to perform well academically. I look forward to sharing what I have learned.

I am a graduate of the University of the State of New York. I received my Master's Degree in Elementary Education and I have been teaching for 22 years. My teaching experience ranges from Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade. I taught middle school for 5 years, Kindergarten for 8 years, have been teaching Pre-Kindergarten for 9 years. I also teach summer school every year and the grades have ranged from Kindergarten to 8th grade. I believe that teaching and learning should incorporate elements of fun. It is through the fun and engagement that the children learn best. I absolutely love when I can see in a child's face that the knowledge has been gained. I am a firm believer in life-long learning. I never admit to knowing everything and will help a child to find an answer if I am unable to do so. This shows my students that I am also human. Outside of teaching and tutoring, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, kayaking, swimming, cake decorating, and drawing/painting.

I have been tutoring numerous subjects for over 10 years. I completed my bachelors in Chemistry at Syracuse University, my masters in Business Administration from University at Buffalo, and my masters in Food Science from Kansas State University. I currently work as a project manager and have maintained my PMP certification for the past 4 years and have obtained the Google Project Management Certification. I have also earned my Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and am currently working on my Agile Certified Practitioner certification.

Hello, I am currently a School Psychology Ph.D. student at Duquesne University who specializes in research in academic interventions to improve students' academic skills, specifically writing. I currently hold a Master's Degree in Education, Child Psychology, and a Bachelor's of Arts Degree in Psychology with a Teacher Education Minor. It is my passion to not only tutor students, but to mentor them to be their best selves both inside and outside of the classroom. I will be graduating in May of 2022 and am currently going through the rigorous and competitive matching process to obtain a pre-doctoral internship through the American Psychological Association (APA). Upon graduation, I plan to obtain licensure to become a licensed psychologist and work as a tenure-track professor at a university.I love to tutor students in research, psychology, writing which is my specialty and reading. However, I believe that I can help a student achieve their goals across all subject areas. I have learned various techniques through my Ph.D. program, as my specialty of school psychology focuses on helping students obtain success both inside and outside of the classroom, both educationally, socially, and emotionally. Overall, with being in college for almost ten years, I know what hard work and dedication can bring. I know that every student is unique and learns differently, so I work to shape my tutoring sessions around how that student learns best.

I want to provide students with a rich learning experience by providing them the opportunity to freely experience themselves without judgement and the chance to see practical real world applications of math!

I currently work as a teaching assistant at Long Island University in Biological Sciences and Human Anatomy, which requires me to have "office hours" available in order to help students that are struggling. Tutoring students can be very simple and sometimes very complicated, but I always look for ways to make analogies to things students feel more comfortable with so it doesn't seem like I'm speaking a foreign language to them. I get a personal sense of satisfaction when someone stops and goes, "oh, I've never thought of it that way before - now it all makes sense." In addition, often times I feel the education system here is misunderstood and students spend too much time memorizing "steps" to a subject rather than learning it, and inevitably end up failing when they are required to utilize the knowledge in future, more advanced work. In my experience, proper explanations toward understand subjects builds a much more lasting impression and life-long knowledge than short-term exam preparation could ever achieve.

I am a 3rd year undergrad at the University at Buffalo, working toward my Mathematics BS with a computer science concentration. I find math exceptionally fascinating; I not only aim to teach an understanding of math but also an appreciation. I have taken courses in Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus (I, II, and III), Geometry, Physics, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Probability, Statistics, and Mathematical Logic. Through my education, I have amassed an understanding of mathematics from multiple angles, and as such I provide a unique lens through which I want to help my students view the subject. Additionally, these courses are fresh in my mind, and so I can recall what did or did not make sense to me and what helped me understand a certain topic - insight I can pass along to my students. Again, I want to instill not only an understanding, but an appreciation for math in my students, as this appreciation will invoke a desire to further their knowledge. In my spare time I play guitar, drums for my band, ski, and watch hockey when I can.

Hello! My name is Emily, I received my PhD from UNC Chapel Hill in the pharmaceutical sciences division of pharmacoengineering. My undergraduate degree was in cell and molecular biology. My dissertation project was focused on biomaterials, bioinformatics, and molecular biology, so I have a passion for teaching biology in a way that makes it relevant for every day life. I'm currently an R&D scientist at a small company in the research triangle.

I believe that everything can be learned and taught when there is a right match between a learner and a teacher

I love working with students of all sorts and especially love finding ways to make complex information more understandable. I have taught English and History as well as tutored the SAT/ACT for many years. I can help you edit your essays, read materials that are challenging, and yes, I do math too! I'm especially happy to help you with SAT/ACT math and word problems.

My name is Gabriel and I hold a degree in Biomedical Sciences from the University at Buffalo. Starting Fall 2017 I will be starting medical school at the University at Buffalo.Considering such I find the human body to be absolutely fascinating. There are so many different organ systems, regulatory systems, and fascinating forms of physiology that allow us as humans to perform such a great variety of tasks.As an educator I'm big on pictures and diagrams as educational tools. If you can draw a picture to describe a cellular or bodily process, you will be likely to be able to answer a written question about it.

I began tutoring when I was a college sophomore, as a way to reinforce my own coursework. I quickly realized what an enjoyable and rewarding experience being a tutor can be, and I have tried to include teaching in my weekly routine ever since. I believe that every student has the capacity to fully grasp any subject that they put their mind to, and it is the job of the tutor to discover the right way to frame and phrase the material at hand so that it can stick. Each student represents a unique challenge, and every improvement is an accomplishment shared between the tutor and the student. I truly enjoy helping others in their studies, and I appreciate the opportunity to improve my own understanding at the same time.I graduated from the State University of New York at Buffalo with a BS in both Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, and most of my experience has come from tutoring other students at the same school. My favorite topics to teach have been college-level math and science courses, as well as beginning engineering courses. I like to continually reinforce the fundamentals that I have used in higher-level courses and in industry, and I enjoy discussing the applications of those fundamentals with students who may not have seen them before. I have also spent some time tutoring middle and high school math and science, and that has been a rewarding experience as well..

Hi! I am a currently employed teacher within the NYCDOE. I co-teach Algebra 1, Algebra 2/Trigonometry and Living Environment. I am a firm believer that all students can learn and that the key lies in finding the correct motivation. I am able to balance rigor with the appropriate amount of fun to ensure that steady progress is made. I look forward to working with you and your student in order to help them be successful in their academic endeavors.

During college, I always enjoyed working with fellow students in learning material because often each person had a different perspective on certain concepts and this allowed me to view things differently which I always found quite helpful during school. As I moved to graduate school I took on teaching assistant roles in various courses. I found that working through problems with students was a very rewarding part of my graduate studies. This enjoyment lead me to pursue academics and I have been a tenured associate professor for almost 6 years teaching mostly in the Department of Chemistry at my College. I have taught various disciplines of chemistry including health professions related chemistry, general chemistry, upper level quantitative chemistry as well as the associated laboratory materials found in these courses. I look forward to sharing my knowledge in these subjects and hope I can provide you with the right guidance to excel in you studies.

I'm passionate about helping students build confidence speaking English. With over twelve years of TESOL experience, I focus on communicative language teaching, pronunciation coaching and practical English for real-life interactions. I am also fluent in Mandarin Chinese and love working with learners from all over the world.

To bridge the gap between confusion and knowledge through novel approaches which aim to make mundane material easy to grasp to anyone. I have a background in Finance and accounting, a masters in supply chain, and have completed an MBA.

I specialize in tutoring History subjects.

I have been cultivating expertise in teaching since my high school education. My experience has included both formal teaching duties and informal conveyance of my knowledge and experience to my peers and juniors. The first time I had a notable teaching experience was when I taught the International Physics Olympiads Prep Team at a private high school for four semesters, during my junior and senior college education. I successfully designed a study curriculum, led a team of tutors in Physics, Math and Computational Science Olympiads and taught many gifted students. The year I moved to the States for my post-graduate career, I was happy to hear news of two of my students receiving medals in the National Olympiad.In the U.S., I designed and taught Precalculus, AP Calculus and SAT Math Prep courses in a private high school in New Jersey. Many of my students got scholarships from major U.S. universities. One of themeven got a perfect score in SAT Math the following year and enrolled in Duke University.Until I recently received my Ph.D., I continued to be involved in teaching activities as lecturing and tutoring college students for more than five years. I taught and lectured many different laboratory courses and lecture sessions such as Physics I: Mechanics, Physics II: Electricity and Magnetism, Mechanics Laboratory, Electricity and Magnetism Laboratory, Optics Laboratory, Modern Physics Laboratory and Quantum Physics.As of now, I have been teaching, formally and informally, for more than 13 years. Throughout my teaching life, I received outstanding evaluations from my students, in oral and written form. I believe my achievement as a teacher is a consequence of my enthusiasm about teaching and my teaching philosophy; that is to care for and respect the students and the topic to be taught.

I am an astute, highly motivated, and goal-oriented individual with successful experiences in both academia and athletics. I am also an effective communicator, who is very much excited to pass down my knowledge to students.

Learning is one of the most rewarding, useful, and fun things that a person can do. My goal as a tutor is not only to help students complete assigned tasks and get good grades, but also to understand why the material is important and how it can help them in life. If I can help a student to be motivated to learn, aspire to fulfill meaningful goals, and give them the tools they need to reach those goals, then I will consider the time that I have spent with them as a success.I graduated from University at Buffalo with a B.A. in Math and Economics and an M.S. in Economics with an advanced certificate in Finance. I now work at M&T Bank as a Credit Analyst. I aspire to start my own business next year.I try to put effort into improving at everything that I do because I believe that anything worth doing is worth doing well. Some of my life achievements include, being an all county 1st singles player on my high school tennis team, improving my max bench press by 35lbs in 3 months, running a marathon, climbing a mountain, clearing a 40 feet long ski jump, ranking in the top 10 players in upstate NY in a video game, getting a job in my field immediately after college, being chosen to lead a project at work even though I am one of the newest people there, completing 3 college degrees in 5 years with a high GPA, working at least part time every year since I was in 10th grade, and ranking 1st every week in location accuracy and pulls per week as a backroom team member at Target. I am currently independently learning coding through codecademy.com and freecodecamp.com and am in the process of creating my own website.These things all resulted from the common theme of focused effort and a clear mindset for improvement. Improvement happens when you try to do something, fail, figure out what you're doing wrong, and try to fix it. Everyone can improve at everything if they stay focused, adapt their improvement methods, and try again. It's never too late. Some things take more time than others, but everything is achievable. If you have an idea of what you want to accomplish in the future, start now and you'll be much more likely to get to where you want to be.

I'm a graduate of the University at Buffalo. I received my Masters degree in Urban Planning with a focus on Urban Design. Since graduation, I have traveled extensively (especially within Central America).In my experience, I was a teaching assistant at the University at Buffalo for an environmental design studio, I was also residential advisor (RA) and held various programs specifically arts and craft programs throughout the year. I am a firm believer in education and in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr." The function of education is to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character- that is the true goal of education." This is also part of my intent and goal for each student.In my spare time, I enjoy reading, painting, planting and hiking.

My goal as a tutor is to utilize my ten years of teaching experience to create thoughtful and engaging lesson plans that will meet the needs of each individual student I work with. I am reliable, dependable, and understand the value in building positive student relationships to increase motivation and work ethic.
