Award-Winning Violin Tutors

I work to give all of my students the tools and strategies they need to be successful. As an experienced music teacher, this means developing critical listening and practice skills. For test takers, this takes the shape of understanding test and question format, strategies for breaking down complex material, and educated guessing. My goal is to make the test work for the way you think, and I excel in creative ways to relay this information.

Hello! I'm a freshman at Harvard University planning to concentrate in applied mathematics. I'm passionate about individualized education, and I focus on teaching students to think critically and creatively. I have a wide range of experience tutoring both traditional and competition math, and I'm particularly interested in the potential that online and mobile platforms like Varsity Tutors have for reaching broader audiences.

...relating to science, is that if someone can fully explain the concept in words, without looking at notes, then they can do good on any examination testing the understanding of that concept. Based on this philosophy, I think that the best way to teach is to create a more interactive form of learning, where both tutor and student are actively involved in the process. I like to teach using a lot of visuals, because I...

...graduate who loves teaching and helping students learn. I have experience teaching English in Argentina, as well as experience as a teaching assistant for various subjects at the Summer Institute for the Gifted.

As a tutor, I will be very patient, understanding, and thoughtful in my approach.

...material can be, and I am willing to diligently work with students to overcome their learning obstacles. Through my teaching experiences, I have found great joy in watching both kids and adults grow and excel as students.

By continuing to encourage and guide the students, I believe that they will become even more accomplished...

...and have a broad understanding. In my spare time I love to hike, play Lego-Batman, play board and card games, and argue philosophical subjects or just about what is truly spicy or not with my wife. I also love to play tennis (I used to give lessons), volleyball, basketball, soccer, trumpet, other video games, hike, read textbooks, especially history (yes really), read sci-fi and watch it as well. I have a passion for movies, which...

...a teachers assistant for general biology and anatomy and physiology. In these classes my basic duties included supervising, mentoring and assisting students during a laboratory session, answering any questions and providing guidance both in and out of the lab in order to fully grasp the material.

...I was an undergraduate TA for lower level math classes (i.e. up to calculus 1) for 3 years; then I was selected by my introductory biology professor to become her preceptor, in which I held weekly office hours and conducted review sessions for the upcoming tests. I continued to be a preceptor for my biology professor and the department throughout my following years in college. I started teaching because it seemed, at the time, just...

...concepts click in students' minds, my favorite subject to tutor is definitely math. Math was something I was not necessarily good at as a young child, but through endless practice and lessons from the best "free" tutor, my mom, I was able to excel in it and placed in the top 20 in state-level math competitions. It quickly became my favorite subject because the process and path to mastery was addicting! As a product of...

...tutoring style that best fits their way of learning, and hopefully will also boost their confidence in the classroom! I regularly tutored while in high school, where I took many AP classes (U.S. history, art history, U.S. government, English, environmental science, as well as a college-level Italian course through Syracuse University). I continued to study Italian throughout college, culminating in an eight-month study abroad program in Florence and Milan, so I can assist students struggling...

...by instructing middle school musicians at summer camps and teaching Viola and Violin privately. Aside from tutoring, I absolutely adore writing. I am the editor-in-chief of an independent publication and I conduct interviews for public radio in Chicago. I still love to read and will be learning for a long time to come. I hope I can give my students the same love of knowledge and help them to achieve their ambitions!

I have always loved school and the sense of fulfillment that comes with comprehension, which I hope to share with my...

...individually understand concepts best so they can replicate this learning without my guidance. These skills are what makes a child efficient on a standardized test without being stressed, and that is what I believe I tutor best. I want to help my students reach their full potentials and become confident learners as much as I can, so any help from their parents or suggestions from teachers would be more than helpful to tailor and individualized...
