...college professor teaching, business, life skills, academic success, ESOL, citizenship (government/US history), vocabulary, customer service and tutoring. I believe in teaching the individual. To me, this means learning who the student is both inside and outside of the learning environment. Everyone learns differently, but people learn more quickly when the information is presented in a manner that is relevant to their lives. Learning a student's interests allows me to customize a specific curriculum to meet...

...and Medical Anthropology & Global Health. Understanding people and their needs is what I love about my field, and is what I hope to bring to tutoring sessions and classes through Varsity.

I can't wait to work with you, and make...

...microbiology, and Russian language. I have several years of tutoring experience with students ranging from ages 9-75. I love teaching languages and science, and I am always ready to tailor my lessons to fit exactly what my students need and want!

...My favorite subjects are mathematics and computer science, but I'm not into those lame equations you have to memorize. I love the applied stuff, where you get to use the equations you learn in projects you enjoy (the memorization comes naturally that way). That's why I believe programming and mathematics go hand in hand. You learn some math, and then make a program applying the principles, e.g. using partial differential equations to simulate traffic patterns.

...German, and I have spent a fair amount of time abroad in the country doing various administrative internships and completing study abroad programs, but my strong math background has instilled in me a great appreciation for mathematics and the natural sciences. The SAT is a good place to see these two realms of mathematics and liberal arts come together, and because of this, I feel I can be a big help tutoring in the SAT...

...As a college graduate and former overzealous high school student, I have personally gone through many of the tough classes and tests that you are facing right now. I have taken the the PSAT, the SAT, a number of AP tests as well as the MCAT. From my experience, half of acing these subjects is understanding the material and the other half is understanding the test. These tests can seem overwhelming at first but I...

...teach all the World Civ and US History classes, as well as several other Histories (European, Asian). My main focus is to help students see connections and forces behind historical events -- in short the "Big Picture" -- while also understanding the importance of specific events and people. I frequently conduct one on one sessions with students, which I enjoy greatly, to help them see these points and connections, and to adopt strategies for reading...

While I teach English a broad, I am very passionate about the English language, American culture, and Literature. In my teaching experience-helping EFL students to acquire the English language skills, we have fun studying for the Grammar, Reading, and Writing portions of the class. I am patient, resourceful, hard working, and creative. I believe that...

Whether it is explaining a complex financing scheme or a business plan, being able to make complex concepts simple and understandable is essential, and I believe that is one...

...13 years and have loved watching their writing improve as we worked together individually on different essays. I also love literature and have taught students how to read 18th and 19th century works and how to write excellent essays about them. Whether you are a college student or the parent of an elementary, middle school, or secondary school student, I am confident that a session or more with me will lead to higher reading and...

...broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math and English. In my experience, with the right attitude and effort, learning can be rewarding, fun, and even math can seem a little less scary. I believe everyone should be empowered through their education and hope to not only build foundational skills, but instill confidence and a strong work ethic as well. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, hiking, and traveling - with my...

...am passionate about helping students achieve their highest potential in school. The subjects I tutor include test prep, math, and English. As someone who recently went through the US testing system for college admissions, I know how stressful AP tests, SATs, and ACTs can be.
