...is why I am pursuing both research and tutoring. I am also an avid reader, writer, and learner. I have over 5 years of experience working with students from the junior high to collegiate level and would love to use my experience and expertise to help students master new concepts and skills. I would characterize my tutoring style as positive and persistent, but above all, I like to tailor my approach to best suit the...

...and tutoring, I can offer support across a range of subjects including middle and high school math, high school biology and chemistry, and writing and study support in English and History. A little more about me! I am currently living and working in Boston, where I grew up. I received my BA in History of Science from Harvard University, completing coursework in history, government, social sciences, biology, chemistry, and physics. I recently graduated with First...

...from the University of Connecticut, where I am currently working on my PhD in American Literature. I tutor a mix of test preparation, English, Literature, and Writing. In helping students with reading and writing skills, I enjoy using multiple different approaches to develop a well-rounded understanding of the techniques, while making the sessions fun. I'm a strong proponent of keeping studying dynamic. It is important to me that my students come away from our sessions...

...about more than the subject at hand; it's about finding the ways in which you learn best and allowing yourself to have what you need, even if it isn't seen as average. Too often, our schools value data over students and forget that education is about discovery and personal growth. As a teacher and tutor, I strive to understand my students individually as whole, complex people. In doing so, I am able to better reach...

...trouble, and try to address them. I recognize that to be a tutor one has to be flexible and open to connect with the student first, to listen and figure out what things I can actually help them with. It is always my goal to help students understand concepts and problem solving strategies themselves, so that they can tackle and solve their problems and assignments themselves. I love when the students who come to me...

...I have worked with students as an SAT preparatory tutor, as an ESL tutor, and in an elementary school classroom as a student teacher. I am passionate about every subject I tutor, but my personal strengths are in developing literacy skills (reading and writing) in students K-12.

I have experience guiding rising seniors through the essay process - from...

...a current last year medical student, about to become a doctor. I have a bachelor's degree in biology with double minors in psychology and English from Fordham University, where I graduated summa cum laude. As a liberal arts school, Fordham required I take a wide variety of college classes to graduate, so I have a broad range of experience with college classes. I have also formerly taught kindergarten through 5th grade students as a substitute...

...I was a peer tutor for Physics 1 and 2 for the Life Sciences. I also received a CRLA Level 1 certification from the International Tutor Training Program Certification (ITTPC). While I can tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, Physics, and SAT prep. In my experience helping students prepare for Standardized Tests, I always make sure to listen to the student and tailor sessions to their goals and...

...Magazine! With Varsity Tutors, I hope to spread my passion for writing and literature to curious, hard-working students. Some of my work experience has been less-than-conventional. I also work at Party Princess Productions in Boston, where I've been smothered in face paint and sung every "Frozen" song in existence. Though it's not very common to say that my job involves navigating through hoop-skirts and character shoes, the party princess world has taught me how to...

...In the past, I have also run simulations with high school students for academic conferences. While volunteering in Peru, I tutored students at an all-girls orphanage in a bilingual environment. Throughout high school, I also helped students prepare for standardized examinations such as the SAT, ACT, SAT subject tests, AP Exams and Regents examinations. I am eager to work with students in these areas, with a particular emphasis on reading, writing, and history. My experience...

I tutor English, reading comprehension, and history, with a particular interest in writing. I enjoy helping students develop clear communication skills and confidence in their written voice. My tutoring style is patient, adaptable, and student-centered. Outside of academics, I enjoy creative writing and listening to podcasts. I bring that...

...and studying techniques to my tutoring sessions. I also minored in child development to better understand how brains learn differently across the lifespan; as a result, I understand ways to tailor my tutoring practice to the age of the student I'm working with. For example, the brain becomes much better at thinking abstractly over time as it becomes able to hold more pieces of information in mind at once. Thus, when tutoring younger children, it's...

...people, but I believe that they can be fun if a student feels prepared and confident. In my mind, a test is an opportunity to display hard work and knowledge, not something to be feared. My tutoring style is very focused, fun, and relaxed. I believe students do best when in a calm, encouraging atmosphere. I never stray from the task at hand, but I do introduce a certain level of silliness and play in...

...it can be related to any subject, and because the skills that are developed through mathematical thinking can help create success in other areas. I try to use multiple approaches while teaching, and present ideas as visually and tangibly as possible. One of the dangers of learning math is that students memorize the method for solving a problem but do not realize the underlying concepts. I do my best to ensure that students recognize the...

...how to format a paper. Following this position, I acted as the History and Liberal Studies tutor for my college. In both of these positions, I was reminded of how much I love to help students, tutoring or otherwise. Nothing makes me happier than having a student tell me that my help aided them in obtaining a great grade! I am very passionate about education and about helping people, and tutoring truly blends both of...

...most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way;...
