I'm a current student at Johns Hopkins University pursuing a bachelor's in both Neuroscience and Molecular & Cellular Biology. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology, chemistry, psychology, art history, and environmental science on both a high school and Advanced Placement level. Alongside those subjects, I am comfortable teaching middle school and lower level high school math and science, and I offer test preparation for both the SAT and ACT. Outside of academics, I like to train for memory sports, and my current goal is to set a Guinness World Record for memorizing the most decimal places of the irrational number phi. In my previous tutoring experience, I have not only helped teach the subject matter at hand, but I have also guided students on how to improve their study habits in general.

I believe in personal growth, life-long learning, and practical application of lessons-learned. I hope to inspire others by passing on the love of all three.

Hi, I'm Leah! I have a strong background in science, and would love to help you develop a greater understanding of these subjects. I graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 2019 with a degree in molecular and cellular biology. In 2022, I graduated from physician assistant school and am now a licensed PA-C.

I am a Ph.D. student at UNC Chapel Hill in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County with degrees in mathematics and statistics, and a minor in computer science. While I tutor a broad range of subjects in those disciplines, I am most passionate about Computer Programming and Data Science, as I use these subjects in my own research as a grad student and write about them on my Medium blog. I have worked with several college and grad students, and have found a lot of success with active learning. I am a big proponent of scientific communication, and am passionate about making math and science accessible to all.

Hello, my name is Michael Leard, I am currently a junior at Florida Institute of Technology where I am pursuing Aerospace Engineering. I enjoy outdoor/water activities such as hiking, swimming, and SCUBA diving. I also enjoy physics and math.I have taken math classes up until Differential Equations, and physics classes up until special relativity. Calculus I (Calculus AB AP) is my most experienced class. I have taken the AP exam where I earned a 3 and decided to retake in college where I earned a B. I continued to tutor many of my friends in Calculus I where their grades also turned out to be very successful.

Hi! I'm a third year osteopathic medical student at the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. I have a BS in Cognitive Neuroscience from the Johns Hopkins University and a MS in Biomedical Sciences from the Eastern Virginia Medical School. I have experience working with students from elementary school through college. I received a 33 composite score on my ACT with a 36 in Science, 35 in Reading, 28 in Math, and a 33 in English. My MCAT score was a 510 with my Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills section being in the 99th percentile.

I graduated from Duke with double majors in Biology and Spanish and a minor in Chemistry. I have extensive experience working with children of all ages, in both childcare and tutoring. In high school, I launched a book club in a local elementary school, where I helped tutor elementary school students in reading comprehension. I also tutored a middle school student in Spanish and helped improve his knowledge of vocabulary and grammar. Since coming to college, I've continued to help elementary school students with reading, writing, and math.

After living in Germany for 15 years, my family moved to the United States in 2003. I went to Lower Merion High School for three years and then attended Temple University where I got my BA in History and German. I also completed coursework for a Minor in Mathematics. In 2011, I moved to Washington D.C. to get my MA in European History at American University.Throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies, I have tutored German and Mathematics, and I am eager to continue my work at Varsity Tutors. My goal is to become a teacher, either at the High School or College level.I believe that education and the process of educating are two-way streets, during which both parties learn and evolve constantly. Success, especially in tutoring, comes from building strong, personal relationships with each student, getting to know one's student, and letting the student know the tutor, also builds trust, which is essential for a healthy learning environment.I am eager to work with any student, and I am confident that through hard work and dedication anyone can succeed in any subject or topic.I look forward to working with you, be it in Mathematics, German, or History!!

My love for teaching began in the basement of my childhood home. I would call my little brother, my little sister, and all my stuffed animals down the stairs and set up my classroom. It was a very simple classroom with just a few chairs and a small chalkboard easel, but it ignited my passion for teaching and guiding students. Lessons have come a long way, from practicing letters and words on that easel to solving complex math problems, but that passion still remains.I graduated from Providence College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. I concentrated my studies in Anatomy and Mathematics while in the Pre-Med program. I started tutoring the beginning of my Sophomore year in college, and have loved it ever since. My tutoring experience ranges from middle school level up to college level Biology and Mathematics. My two favorite subjects to tutor are general biology and algebra because both are like puzzles. The pieces of the problem all have to fit in order to see the correct answer. When I am tutoring, my goal is to meet the student where they are. This involves investigating where the student may be struggling or need guidance and building a foundation from there.Even though I love homework, I have many interests outside of academia. I love to do anything outdoors, from running to hiking to swimming in the ocean. I grew up playing hockey, and I continue to play today.

I am currently a Senior Chemistry major student at Howard University. I transferred from Prince George's Community college where I majored in General Education. While at school, I enrolled into the AVID tutoring program, STEM collegian and SIR student programs. Through these platforms, I was exposed to many activities of leadership and community service. The AVID tutoring program was most significant because, I was able to reach out to middle and high school students who needed help in math.My effectiveness as a tutor comes from my ability to communicate and listen attentively to each individual's needs. Given the fact that everyone has different levels of comprehension, I aim at understanding the specific area of weakness and strength for each individual. I then start from what you know and understand easily to what seems to be confusing or difficult to understand. I also make sure that as soon as a concept becomes clear, we move on to solve as many problems as possible relating to that concept for more understanding.I acquired most tutoring skills at PGCC and HU math labs (the schools I attended). The math labs were used primarily for helping students finish-up assignments on time, improve grades in math courses, prepare for math placement exams and get an overall understanding of any subject matter relating to math. At these labs, I did a work-study program and served as a volunteer for 20 hours every week. I helped college students get better grades, get a better understanding of the subject matter and complete their homework in a timely manner. My joy and satisfaction came from the feedback I got from students who would say "you helped me get an A on my exam" , "you helped me pass this class" and many students said "math isn't that hard." I specialize in tutoring the basic concepts/courses in math which I believe is the basis for getting a good grasp of the subject matter. I grew up loving math because I spend hours in my early years in school trying to understand the basic concepts and once I got a hold of certain concepts, it set a tone for higher level math and made it seem so easy. Easier than English. I love tutoring all Grade school courses in math and Pre/intermediate and college Algebra.
