I am a graduate of Pomona College. In 2012, I received my Bachelor of Arts with a major in Politics. Since graduation, I have worked in both public and private schools as an instructional assistant. My job responsibilities included tutoring students in the following subjects: Pre-Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, AP Calculus, English/Language Arts, Writing, Social Studies, U.S. Government, Biology, and Social Studies. Of the many subjects I have helped my students with, subjects involving math or politics have been my favorite, because both challenge me to think creatively and critically. My tutoring philosophy is to help create independent and critical thinkers. My style reflects this style: The ultimate goal in every tutoring session is NOT to get the right answers, but to understand the concepts being taught and to be able to apply that understanding to a variety of situations. Outside of working with students, I enjoy reading and running.

Hi! My name is Enrico. I am in my second year at MIT studying mathematics, and I am currently doing a research project in Spectral Graph Theory. I have been a tutor since my junior year in high school, and I enjoy teaching all levels of math; everything from pre-algebra through calculus and linear algebra! I focus primarily on making sure that the definitions and processes given in class make intuitive sense, so that math can begin to feel like second nature.

Hello everyone! I became a VarsityTutor because I feel that teaching is an incredibly enriching experience - I think that seeing the progress of a student over time is so rewarding for me. I have a BS in Neuroscience, a BA in Religious, and an MS in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Pittsburgh, so I have a lot of diverse experience - STEM and humanities - from my educational background. Currently, I'm a medical student!I worked in a math tutoring center in high school and college, and I have teaching experience in math from basics all the way through calculus. I have previously tutored math and reading for the SAT. I have taken calculus at the college level, and for several semesters in college, I served as a TA for general chemistry classes.

I have been a personal tutor for years, and specialize in English literature/composition and test preparation. My focus is helping students gain the building blocks they need to succeed--knowing how to take a test is just as important as knowing the information! I studied Photojournalism at Point Park University, with a focus on fine art and global politics.My approach to tutoring focuses on creating independence and confidence in my clients. I try to make sure students are not just knowledgeable about the basic information, but that they also garner a deeper understanding of the larger test or subject.Please feel free to contact me with any questions!

I finished my B.A. in Asian Studies at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) with certificates in Chinese language and China studies. Currently, I am finishing my M.A. in Chinese Linguistics at the University of Arizona's Department of East Asian Studies (I currently live in Pittsburgh). I tutor all levels of Chinese, which I've studied for over seven years. I participated in Chinese learning programs at Middlebury College and study abroad programs at Nanjing University and Sichuan University. I've also worked as a Chinese tutor at IUP and a teaching assistant for Chinese and East Asian linguistics courses at the University of Arizona. I've also taught my own courses in each! One of my favorite experiences involves designing online course materials for hybrid and online Chinese language courses. I have a passion for language, East Asian linguistics, and online language teaching. I believe students deserve tutoring designed around their OWN interests in Chinese. I utilize innovative software to design personalized lessons for both online and in-person sessions and teach Chinese with a strong focus on language, culture, and real-world application. I'd love to get to know your reasons for studying Chinese, goals as a learner, and/or areas of difficulty to design sessions that fit your needs.

Every student can learn and has the right to learning opportunities that engage them in worthwhile and cognitively demanding tasks. Through such experiences, students develop more than just content knowledge, they grow as thinkers and problems solvers. They grow confidence and a sense of agency.

I am a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. Since graduation, I have had over 10 years of experience tutoring both online and in person. My focus areas include Test Prep (SAT, ACT, ISEE, SSAT, etc.) as well as math and reading courses. I have tutored extensively in Pittsburgh and New York, conducting both one-on-one sessions and group classes.While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about math and reading. In my experience helping students prepare for standardized tests, I have found that we always achieve significant advancements by focusing on understanding core concepts and building confidence. I strive to find the optimal approach to maximize each student's understanding and comfort with the material.I believe that education is a powerful tool for improving one's quality of life, and I aim to impart this appreciation to all of my students. My extensive experience has equipped me with the skills to adapt to various learning styles and needs, creating a supportive and engaging learning environment.I look forward to hearing from you!

I am currently a 2nd year Law Student at Duquesne University. I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in History from West Virginia University. I am currently a graduate teaching assistant and I teach two history courses; Ancient Western Civilization and American History: Pre-Civil War. As such I feel very confident tutoring any sort of history course as my own experiences and notes should match closely with your course requirements. I also received very high academic marks on both my LSAT (law school admission test) and SAT's. In addition, I took these 2 exams fairly recently so I am familiar with any new changes or adaptations which may have been made. I stated previously I currently teach two separate courses and teaching truly is my passion. I feel that I am able to build a relationship with my students which allows me to evaluate their needs and adapt my teaching accordingly to ensure their success.

As a tutor with Varsity Tutors, I hope to use my knowledge to teach students in need. I love being a tutor because getting to help others achieve academic success is a very rewarding. I enjoy being able to pass along the things that helped me to do well in my classes to other students who will benefit from them. In regards to my tutoring style, I am very big on allowing my students to actively learn. I believe that this is the best way for my students to learn because it helps them pick up on new information and skills quickly.

I recently graduated from Cornell University in May 2014. I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering with a concentration in Business. Math and Science have always fascinated me because of their applications to the technology we use in everyday life. As a tutor, these are my favorite subjects to work with because they involve definite answers that are firmly rooted in logic. My mission in helping students with these subjects is to show them how to break down complex problems into simple steps. This methodology will enable them to not only succeed in courses and on standardized tests, but also to develop an analytical mindset that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. Outside of my academic life, I enjoy weight lifting, soccer, playing guitar, and reading fiction.
