I received my Bachelor's of Science in Psychology with a minor in Biology from the University of Oregon in 2016. I am currently a post-baccalaureate scholar at Johns Hopkins University and plan to pursue a PhD in Neuroscience or Psychology at Johns Hopkins in 2018. I have many years of experience working as a tutor and a mentor; in high school, I tutored Latin and Physics for 3 years and as an undergraduate I mentored underclassmen in Psychology/Statistics coursework. I love tutoring Psychology and Statistics as those are two subjects I am most passionate about and are subjects I feel that I benefit the most from teaching. My teaching style is very laid-back and I strongly believe that a teacher should be just as willing to learn from the student as the student is from the teacher. I have the utmost amount of respect for my students and I hope that reflects in my reactions with them. Outside of academia, I enjoy running, yoga, photography (I'm on Instagram way too much!), and spending time with my cat.

My name is Navya Ravoori. I have been a tutor in various formats through the course of the last 10 years. I have worked with a variety of ages- from 4 to 20. I am continuing my tutoring through Varsity Tutors because it is an exciting and interactive method to improve skills in certain subject areas and I have understood the value of others tutoring in my own knowledge of a subject.

The purpose of education is to prepare future citizens of the state to be informed, engaged and aware of how our society functions so they can reinforce its strengths and challenge its weaknesses.I have a special responsibility as a U.S. History and Economics teacher at the St. Frances Academy as we are the oldest historically black educational institution in the western hemisphere. It is especially important that our students in particular are armed with the knowledge and a visual example of what it takes to graduate from college, gain meaningful employment, and/or endeavor in entrepreneurship.I believe students learn best by repetition in being challenged with the subject matter and their assignments while relating both to the real world. I have designed my own college level curriculum with a mini-lecture that I recorded myself at the beginning of each lesson, and a video from another academic source related to the subject matter at the end. In class, I lecture using the socratic method allowing those who struggle in that format to ask questions or read passages to stay engaged in the class. I believe important concepts are strengthened if they come from not only myself as the teacher, but from another academic source outside of the building. Most importantly, they need to hear them come from themselves and their fellow classmates.Whether Economics, U.S. History, World History, Geography, or test prep my goals remain the same. In order:Preparation for college and the professional worldEstablishing a plan of attack for complex subject matter (outlines, timelines, outside sources.)Time management (all assignments are posted one week ahead of time)Technological Expertise (proper essay format and citing, online submission)Punctuality (no latework is accepted)Overcoming difficult challenges using the resources you have (office hours, academic support, study groups)Develop engaged citizenryForce critical thinkingIntroduce different problem solving techniquesNurture self-directed learningSeeing individual fulfillment at the discovery of content mastery and generation of new knowledgeIn my opinion, the most effective method for teaching is trial and error. Unfortunately, due to the failure of many of the elementary and middle schools my students are coming from, many students are "A/B Honor Roll" whom have developed poor habits that will be conducive to academic failure at the next level. It's important to let them try it their way or "the way that has always worked" so they understand the level they need to rise too for success in college.I know this because my graduates come back and tell me how happy they were that at least they had me to prepare them. I also have my A students talk to my next year's class and they reveal what they get out of the class. "You don't know until you go through it!" is a phrase I often hear them tell the next year's students that I take great pride in.The most important aspects of my teaching are organization, consistency, and availability. My class is completely planned out for the year and online, and all rules are contained in the syllabus. The structure of the class along with assignments due and types of assignments is clear and there really is no deviation. I have multiple office hours throughout the week.

I enjoyed tutoring at my University, but now it is time to help other students grow. I first came to college to become a patent attorney. However, I fell in love with Physics. I want as many people as possible to love and enjoy Physics as I do.

My time in school has developed my philosophy of valuing each child as an individual, as well as part of a community. I aim to give children as many learning opportunities and experiences as possible in order to engage, motivate and prepare them for future life. My views on learning styles have been influenced by the work of Howard Gardner. He believes that we have multiple intelligences and that every child has the potential to be gifted,but that this can present itself in many different ways.

I am a recent graduate from Princeton University, home for the summer in the Philadelphia area. I was a Neuroscience major, and I will be pursuing my PhD in Neuroscience in the fall at Johns Hopkins. I have been tutoring high school students outside of class in college and involved in STEM academics and research mentorship as well as a translation program from and to English outside of class. I speak Japanese and French, and I have taken the PSATs, SATs, 10 APs, and the GREs successfully. I would be willing to help with any of these subjects, with math, science, and languages being more of my strong suit, and I would be willing to drive to a location as well as do online tutoring.

I am a recent graduate of Morgan State University. I studied in the Elementary Teacher Education and Administration department to receive my B.S. My main goal was becoming an elementary school teacher. I am currently an education tech in Bethesda, MD. I enjoy the everyday experiences of impacting my students' lives and being inspirational to them.

With over 15 years of experience teaching middle school and high school math, I am a graduate of Howard University with a Master's Degree in Secondary Math Education. My tutoring approach revolves around creating a positive and supportive learning environment where students can thrive. I engage and motivate students through constant encouragement, incorporating creativity, interactive activities, real-life examples, and visual aids. By personalizing instruction to meet individual needs, assessing strengths and weaknesses, and tailoring teaching methods, I aim to guide students towards mastery and meet them at their current level of understanding. Fostering a growth mindset, building relationships, embracing challenges, and viewing mistakes as opportunities for growth are key principles I instill in students to develop confidence and independence. Through ongoing progress monitoring, skill evaluation, and targeted support, my goal is to equip students with strong foundational math skills and problem-solving abilities that extend beyond the classroom. I am passionate about helping learners of all ages achieve their math goals, firmly believing in the transformative power of creativity, encouragement, and a growth mindset in every student's math journey.

I am an experienced SAT, GRE, and math tutor. My expertise is in SAT test prep.

I am a current undergraduate English major at Harvard University. I firmly believe that teaching is an integral part to mastery of any subject, and also that it has intrinsic value in making the world a better place. I have taught argumentation and debate at the Harvard Debate Council summer workshops, and have developed and taught a political philosophy curriculum at the Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies in Greece. I love working with kids, and I read and write children's books and young adult fiction in my spare time (as well as poetry and adult fiction). I love exploring ideas in fields from Literature to Neuroscience, and have a lot of experience working and volunteering in libraries. I have a side interest in permaculture and systems design.
