Jun Ho

1st Grade Math Tutor • +23 Subjects

I received my education from UC Berkeley, and graduated May 2015. I have attained my degree in integrative biology emphasizing on human biology and health sciences. I tutored multiple students ranging from elementary school kids to college students on various subjects mainly focused on math and sciences. My favorite subject is chemistry and biochemistry, because it is fascinating how myriads of reactions are constantly happening within our body. I am currently applying for pharmacy school, so chemistry is vital in this field. I love to play tennis, swim, and especially eat out around the bay area!

Adult Literacy Tutor • +6 Subjects

I enjoy the one-on-one tutoring sessions because it provides a safe environment to learn. I break the sessions into small learning increments to motivate and engage the student. I believe this teaching strategy encourages independent learning and students want to come back to the next session.

Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects

I am an active and dedicated learner. I enjoy learning new things, no matter how complex they may seem. In the end, it gives me great satisfaction to know that I was able to obtain full knowledge of something I did not have knowledge of before.I have taken my knowledge and have put it to the test by volunteering in places that have continuously tested it, in which I have gained a lot of experience. For example, I volunteered at my local hospital, in the Pediatrics Department for 4 years. Apart from attending the younger patients with toys and coloring books, I would help the older patients, who were in Middle/High School, by helping them complete any assignments for school.Not only that, but in that time period, and currently, I have been volunteering as a mentor and tutor at Fontana Adult School. There I guide students towards a college path so that they can achieve a career that best suits them.Along the way, I have had a lot of experience with people of all age, race, and belief groups. Being a tutor at Varsity Tutors is just another form to express the knowledge and experience I have gained throughout my life.

Sam

College English Tutor • +8 Subjects

I am a Los Angeles area native, and hold a JD from the University of Virginia School of Law, as well as a B.A. in English from Tulane University in New Orleans. I have been a California licensed attorney since December of 2011, and currently practice full-time as a Law Clerk for four Los Angeles Superior Court Judges.Since I finished my undergraduate degree, I have tutored many high school and college students in essay writing and test prep. In particular, I love helping people improve their writing. While there are undoubtedly many great tutors in the area, I believe I bring a unique perspective with my legal writing experience. With this background, I strive to help students not only improve their academic performance in the short term, but also develop the skills they will need in their professional careers.I am available to tutor on weekday afternoons and evenings in and around the Pasadena area where I live with my wife and two children. I also may be able to tutor students near the Downtown area, where I work.Thank you for reading my profile. I hope to work with you in the future!

Sai-ya

College English Tutor • +23 Subjects

I love children and children tend to love me. I have years of experience working with kids of all ages as a teacher, a social worker, and a psychotherapist. I understand the motivational and self-confidence issues that interrupt many children's learning, and work to build a solid, trusting relationship with my students so they can feel comfortable acknowledging their mistakes and the places where they need extra attention without feeling ashamed. I operate on a strengths-based, praise-heavy teaching style, and make my students feel like stars (because they are)! I also am trained in mindfulness-based techniques to help children with any anxiety or behavioral issues that get in the way of learning.I have a Master's degree from the University of Southern California (USC), where I graduated as a Dean's Scholar with a 3.98 GPA. Before that, I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of California in Irvine. I recently returned from 8 months of teaching English and Math to elementary-school students in Ecuador, and currently work in K-3 classrooms as a literacy specialist at a public elementary school in Santa Rosa. I teach children to read and write, which is such an essential skill!When I'm not teaching kids or traversing the globe, you can find me in a yoga class, reading a fantastic novel under a big tree, tending to my vegetable garden, or having a latte with my grandma.

Josh

ACT English Tutor • +50 Subjects

My favorite word is "why." And why is that, you may ask? Well, I am subject to a never-ending flow of knowledge because I perpetually wonder why. The search for answers to any question beginning with "why" has taught me everything I know -- and put me in a position to disseminate my knowledge to other people. Tutoring is the best possible way for me to do that.

Rob

Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects

I have been tutoring for 7 years in Southern California. In that time, I have tutored hundreds of students, many of whom I have tutored from elementary school all the way through high school. I graduated from Cal State Northridge in 2013 with a degree in Psychology. I mainly tutor Math and English but have years of experience tutoring elementary and high school science and history classes. In my spare time, I like to play hockey and golf, watch sports and movies, and hike with my fiance and dogs. I am a huge Los Angeles Kings and Dodgers fan. I am very passionate about sports and have tutored many student athletes who play hockey, baseball, football, softball, swimming, figure skating, and dance. My tutoring philosophy is to stress the importance of education, while understanding that it comes easy to some and not for others. My goal is to help students understand the material while accommodating their demanding schedules, as I grew up a student athlete and know how difficult it can be.

Sean

ACT Prep Tutor • +30 Subjects

I am a student at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. If you are looking for a relaxed tutor who will still push you to achieve personal as well as academic goals, don't hesitate to contact me. I am a computer science major currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree. I have tutored ACT prep and SAT prep previously on many occasions, and I am willing to work with and help you reach your full potential on these tests. I really enjoy teaching test preparation, as there are so many aspects to taking these exams ranging from test taking strategies, the material itself, as well as preparation right before the tests themselves. I believe that every student requires a different teaching strategy, and I believe in treating every student as an individual rather than a collective. In terms of me personally, I really enjoy classical and electric violin, tennis, DJ'ing, as well as electronic music production. I am also an avid gamer, and I really enjoy the game League of Legends. I look forward to getting to know my clients.

Samuel

ACT Prep Tutor • +32 Subjects

I am currently studying Politics, Philosophy, and Economics at The King's College. I have tutored several of my peers in the past on coursework ranging from logic to math and political thought. I enjoy tutoring public speaking and writing most, though I also tutor AP Government, SAT, and the ACT. I tend to explain a problem/concept before having a student tackle it. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching TED videos, and cooking without recipes. I look forward to working with you!
