Sophomore enrolled at State University of New York at Buffalo in the Accounting program. From Long Island, New York. Looking to tutor students in math related courses. In high school i was in accelerated math and have a very good understanding on math as a subject.

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.

Before becoming a public school teacher in the sunshine state, I was an adjunct teaching integrated ESL and workforce English. I have 15 years of tutoring experience, assisting Chinese students with academic English and test strategies, helping American students learning mandarin, preparing middle school students for American high school admission interviews, solving problems in math, and making personalized study plans for ISEE, PSAT and SAT, but after all, building learners' confidence and giving support to parents. I also worked as executive personal assistant facilitating Chinese high school students newly arrived in the United States, local host families and overseas parents.My teaching philosophy is: there are no poor children but only unskilled teachers.

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 a hard-working person who will instill a fun and interactive class that develops into a very comfortable learning environment. Feel free to reach out, as I am glad to help.

Hello! I'm hoping to help ease and bring joy to learning. I have 5 years of experience working with children, and have served teaching STEM activities as a camp counselor.

Academic success can be pervasive for a good deal of students today. The causes for these difficulties vary, but I believe they mostly arise from the fact that in classrooms, teachers teach in one set way for a large number of students. This is why I believe that tutoring is essential. In smaller settings, students can have their specific needs met without the worry of rapidly trying to cover a syllabus or slowing down a class.I believe my experiences and travels make me an ideal tutor for a number of reasons. Attending school in the US and Nigeria exposed me to lots of teachers with a numerous teaching styles, I thus have a wealth of styles to refer to. While in high school abroad as part of a school organized program, I was chosen to tutor my classmates as well as students in lower grades in the sciences. These subjects included calculus, physics, chemistry, agricultural science and technical drawing to name a few. In college, I continue to tutor my peers when I can, which has helped me establish a firm and continually growing knowledge of science and mathematics courses. The subjects which I personally enjoy teaching the most are physics, mathematics (geometry, algebra, and calculus) and economics mainly because they interest me and their link to our contemporary world. My teaching style employs learning by problem solving with discussions to solidify knowledge. I attempt to incorporate real life examples and pop culture interests where applicable to make learning a bit less dull.I completed my degree in Civil Engineering. When I am not in a classroom, I enjoy historical novels. I also have a passion for 80's-90's music and films.

I am an experienced educator and Special Education Case Manager with a strong background in secondary English Language Arts, literacy development, and individualized instruction. I hold certifications in Special Education (712), English Language Arts (712), and a CELTA, and I bring a structured, patient, and supportive approach to tutoring students with diverse learning needs. In my current role, I support autistic learners and students with significant disabilities through data-informed instruction, IEP development, and targeted academic and functional programming. I work regularly on reading comprehension, writing, organization, study strategies, and test preparation, including SAT Reading and Writing, and I have experience teaching in inclusive, Regents-aligned, and international settings. My teaching philosophy centers on meeting students where they are and helping them build

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.

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 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'm a student just like you! I'm finishing up my Bachelors of Arts in Psychology at University at Buffalo. My passions are music, books, and traveling. I have a lot of experience studying Psychology, Spanish, Criminal Justice, English, and taking AP classes in high school like AP European History, AP English Language, and AP American History. The classes I'm most passionate in are political science classes, and Psychology. I'm super excited to work with new students! My tutoring style is very flexible. I prefer talking through the problems a student is facing to make sure the student can learn as much as possible! I have the most experience working with students in grades 4-10, but I will happily work with students of any age. I have experience teaching over Zoom from teaching internships, done over the COVID-19 pandemic.

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.

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.

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

I was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea until I moved to the U.S. at the age of 19 to attend the State University of New York at Buffalo (University at Buffalo). I received my Bachelor of Arts in Media Study with a focus on Film & TV Production. Before graduating, I started my own film production company, where I've created music videos for various artists and commercials for such brands as Nike and Lotus Cars. I have also taught English in South Korea for two years. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Korean, and Filmmaking. I truly believe learning a language should be approached with the right amount of academia and the hands-on experience; I will provide a practical environment where students can learn the Korean culture, history, and expressions that they can't learn from the books. As I am extremely knowledgable in Entertainment industry both in America and South Korea, the entire class could be taught in Korean with such topics as K-CULTURE, K-POP, K-Drama, and K-Beauty. In my spare time, I enjoy working out, watching movies, and playing board games.

Help others to reach their their goals and dreams through success is something very important for me not just as tutor but as a person. Learn something new some times is very difficult for some students, be patient is key to understanding how to help others.Love and light first is the success in every person.

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.

My goal is to help all students reach their academic goals by providing encouragement, assistance, and my professional experience in education. I believe all students should have the opportunity to perform academically to the best of their ability, given the proper tools and resources. I feel honored to guide students towards success!

I am currently a graduate student at the University at Buffalo working on my PhD in mathematics. Before this, I obtained my master's degree from the College at Brockport, at which I spent the following two semesters teaching math courses to college students. While at the College at Brockport I spent three semesters as a math tutor in their Student Learning Center, as part of a graduate assistantship, tutoring courses such as Algebra,Precalculus, Single Variable Calculus, Multi-Variable Calculus, Statistics, and various other courses. I have also tutored students at the University at Buffalo as part of a teaching assistantship. My favorite subjects to tutor are calculus, trigonometry, and algebra. I've taught calculus courses at the college level multiple times, and I thoroughly enjoyed it each time.I believe that understanding how students learn mathematics is essential to teaching and tutoring mathematics. There are many different forms of teaching. I feel that I'm a great tutor because I try to understand how each student learns and then shape my instruction in such a way that will promote that student's understanding. I am always looking for new strategies to help captivate the interest of the students I instruct and tutor in order to help better foster learning. Learning mathematics is a process that requires active involvement, both from the tutor and the student. I continually strive to help all students reach their full potential.

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.

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 love education. I received a B.A. in psychology as well as a B.A. in sociology at the University at Buffalo. I get so much pleasure and satisfaction from teaching and watching my students grow academically. Right now, I teach kindergarten, but I have taught preschool through Third grade and have also worked with middle and high school children. I also was a teaching assistant at the college level in Psychology and sociology. Phonics, reading, English, language arts, psychology and sociology are my specialties, however, I enjoy teaching any subject. Outside of the classroom, I love to go to the movies, enjoy live theater, read a good book, write, travel, or anything involving the arts. I look forward to helping you or your student reach their education goals!

I graduated from University at Buffalo with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences. Even though, I graduated with a science degree, I had a fond love for mathematics and took Calculus I, Calculus II, and Calculus III. After college, I wanted to travel the world while teaching students and changing their lives for the better. Thus, I got my certification in teaching. Furthermore, I decided to go to Thailand and teach kids Math and English. It was an amazing experience because it taught me that teachers can change the lives of their students by giving them the attention they need. My kids taught me as much as I taught them. I believe that learning from your students doesn't make you a good teacher but a great one.I am currently tutoring kids in SAT Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra II, and Pre-Calculus. I have a great deal of teaching experience.I have a great understanding of Math because I have taken up to Calculus III in college. Also, I am a certified teacher. I know how to make lesson plans and be prepared to teach.I have spend the last 5 years studying Biology. In college, I did some extensive research with breast cancer cells. It made me more knowledgeable.Please feel free to contact me if you want to know more or if you are interested. Thank you.

As a medical student and previous AP Chemistry teacher, I have had the privilege of teaching and mentoring students in the sciences, helping them build a strong foundation in subjects like biology, chemistry, algebra, and neuroscience for over 8 years. I earned a B.S. in Biology and a B.A. in Psychology before completing an M.S. in Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. My favorite subject to tutor is neuroscience because it merges my passion for medicine and the sciences with my goal of becoming a pediatric neurosurgeon. My teaching philosophy focuses on making complex topics more approachable, emphasizing understanding over memorization, and tailoring my approach to each student's learning style. I strive to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel confident tackling challenging material. Outside of academia, I enjoy staying active via lifting, and mentoring aspiring medical students within NYC.

I am going into my third year as Biology student at the University at Buffalo. Once I graduate I intend on pursuing a career in teaching. I enjoy working with kids and would love to have the opportunity to help someone improve on a subject they may be struggling in.

I graduated from Harry S. Truman high school in 2015. I am currently studying Chemistry at the University at Buffalo, where I am planning to obtain a Bachelor’s of Science in Chemistry. I am fairly experienced working with grade school and high school students in their math and science classes.When I was in those grades, I would assist the teacher by tutoring their students who are struggling in the class, whether that's just help with their homework or and extensive review of the material we learned in class. I also helped many of my peers prepare for the New York Regents exams. I helped them prepare for the Chemistry, Trigonometry, Geometry, and Algebra Regents. These along with basic math and science concepts are my favorite to help students because these are the subjects I excel at. These subjects interest me the most and I hope to use these subjects in my future field of work.I can teach in many ways and will always adjust my style to fit the students needs. I do tend to teach in way that allows the student to learn their own process of thinking while using me a resource if they are having trouble. I like to do this by facilitating the student through practice problems without giving any real answers. This allows the student to understand the material as well as build their confidence to tackle a problem all on their own.Outside of school, I like to do many to unwind such as go for a run or some form of exercise. I enjoy drawing, reading, and even video games. I always like to learn about new hobbies to keep me from ever being bored.

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 love tutoring Latin, Greek, and English. I strive to be attentive to how my students express themselves and always aim to present material in a way that is in sync with how they learn. This has allowed students I've worked with to feel comfortable opening up about their interests and frustrations with me so that I can make a subject more relevant to them and create more motivation to learn. I always try to gear the way I teach to my students' learning styles and make them feel less self-conscious and more confident about making mistakes and explaining their thought process. I am good at convincing my students that they will see more rewards from their persistence. I have worked with several students who were scoring in the seventies on tests and quizzes when I started working with them who then began to see dramatic results with scores in the nineties in a fairly short time.I make use of various tools like mnemonic devices and English word derivatives to make vocabulary and form-memorization easier. I also have students draw charts showing the patterns and similarities among various noun and verb endings they need to know so they can truly master these fundamentals of the language.Though I went on to earn a degree in Latin and Greek literature in college, I really think my passionate interest in this subject was nurtured and allowed to thrive because of the extremely solid foundation I received in Latin grammar from one outstanding high school teacher. I hope to emulate his outstanding teaching ability and allow others to succeed the way he allowed me.I've tutored students in Latin and Greek for over 10 years. I received a perfect score on the National Latin Exam and Latin SAT II and am familiar with preparing students for these exams, as well as for AP Latin.Some highlights of my educational and teaching background are that I've graduated from Reginald Foster's demanding program in Rome for the practice of oral Latin and daily sight reading and obtained my B.A. with honors in Greek and Latin literature. I also did post-graduate training with Dr. Stephen Daitz, the foremost scholar on the classical pronunciation of ancient Greek and Latin. I received an award for being the highest ranking student in Greek and Latin Literature in my college's classics department. I am a former member of the American Classical League and have attended some of their national conferences and seminars on the teaching of Latin. I also have experience creating educational materials for intermediate students of Latin online for a website that publishes full length texts in foreign languages and uses editors to write different types of explanatory material and educational glosses to aid students' reading.I look forward to helping you meet your specific goals.

Hello everyone! I'm Dr. Jonathan Folmsbee, and I've been tutoring/teaching calculus and physics for 8+ years now. My goal as a tutor/instructor is to get you to the point where the test doesn't seem scary, and instead just feels like another homework assignment or problem set. I believe that math and physics are NOT spectator sports, and the best way to prep for a test is to do problems, and also step through why you're doing what you're doing on problems, as well as look at parts of problems that may not make sense. I also try to distill the info dumps that you may get in lectures into what you can actually use on the problem.

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.

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 recently graduated from the University at Buffalo with a BS in Business Administration. My junior and senior year of college I worked as a tutor and primarily taught college level macroeconomics, microeconomics and statistics. I have worked with over 40 students and have learned that each student needs to work at their own pace and take a different approach to our sessions. I incorporate study skills and test taking stechniques into y tutoring sessions because it is important that students can use these skills in other subjects as well. I know that I have done my job when a student calls me at the end of semester excited to tell me how well their final exam went. If you or your child needs help with economics, math or general study skills to keep the material fresh this summer I would be glad to work with you.

Hello! I am a current first year medical student at the Jacobs School of Medicine at the University at Buffalo. I have taught individuals from ages 5 to adult and have experience with one-on-one, small group, and classroom-style pedagogies. I look forward to helping you or your child learn!
