I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Jeffrey

Certified Tutor

I graduated from the University of California, Davis with a major in Biological Sciences, with an emphasis in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior, and minor in Exercise Biology (Kinesiology). Previously, I was a Manager in the Melanoma Program at the University of California, San Francisco, where I investigate novel therapeutics in early and late stage melanoma.

Currently, I am pursuing a Master in Health Administration (MHA) at Columbia University, Mailman School of Public Health.

Having a strong science and math background, I thoroughly enjoy working with students in achieving their goals. Whether your goal is to ace an exam, setting up a career plan, or having a social connection - I am here to guide you through that process! Most students typically come to me with science and math help, but I can help with college applications, personal statements, and test preparation. I have had over two years of tutoring and education consulting experience while being on the west coast after receiving my bachelor's degree.

I enjoy playing football, basketball, and go snowboarding in my free time while maintaing a balanced and healthy lifestyle whenever I can. Having grown up in Los Angeles all my life, and living in the San Francisco Bay Area the past few years, I enjoy the bustling city life. I also enjoy roaming coffee shops, visiting art galleries, and playing tourist while I'm still here in New York City.

What is your teaching philosophy?

My teaching philosophy is guided by 2 principles. First, I guide students by the Socratic method of teaching, which is to further their thinking by asking questions not giving answers. Secondly, I teach students my approach; students in return teach me their approach, and finally, they are able to do it on their own.
