My passion is psychology and I have been able to use my graduate training in human development to tailor my instruction...

...about the material they are working on because it means they have an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. I want to encourage students to always be able to explain why they picked a certain answer or what steps they took to solve a problem. I also want students to have a connection to the material and understand how it relates to their existing knowledge. The more connections we make between concepts, the better understanding...

...ago I began tutoring students in Mathematics and Chemistry for volunteer hours and simultaneously began teaching swimming lessons to children of all ages. Ever since I started I have only grown more and more fond of helping those around me improve themselves in various disciplines.

Before applying to college, I went through extensive ACT tutoring and would love to relay those skills to other students. I'm passionate about the social sciences, math, spanish, and all things natural science :) I intend to go to medical school and would eventually love to become...

...two years before becoming a rowing coach. I love to travel, read, and learn, and I love to share knowledge and learning experiences with others. Economics and English/literature are the two subjects I enjoy studying, and by extension teaching, the most, because they present two entirely different frameworks for understanding the world. I hope that I can pass on my curiosity, open-mindedness, and genuine love of the learning process to my students. In my spare...

...school children in Reading, Math and Science, and most recently I tutored high school students in Boston in Chemistry, Pre-calculus and Algebra. I have always loved math and science. I tend to think of complex scientific concepts in words that I can actually understand, and many of my pupils tell me that I explain them better than their teachers, which is why I am so passionate about tutoring. I am currently applying to medical school,...

...continue the work I was doing. I love teaching students of all levels, and I am excited to work with a broad range of students through Varsity Tutors.

I look forward to working with any student who needs my help, and helping them...

...have not come easily to me always. I know that Chemistry can have a particularly sharp learning curve for students and I worked through that myself, developing study and problem solving techniques that eventually led me to score a 5 on the AP Chemistry exam. History also requires a lot of time and effort, especially with memorization, synthesis, and learning how to craft an argument for historical writing. Given my own experiences with academics and...

...of worksheet in order to walk the student through the process of figuring out the general concept in a unique way; for example, I will use an angle maze to teach geometric angle theorems. I am a proponent of the mindset that learning to learn is much more important than learning pure information, so I always focus more on the process than the outcome. I love to teach, and I hope to work in a...

...be attending Northeastern University to continue my education with a Ph.D. in Physics. I love helping students succeed, and I bring a strong Math and Science background to help students struggling with these difficult subjects. I believe that the secret to succeeding in these subjects is not in memorizing solutions and equations, but by developing problem solving skills so students will know how to approach and set up problems in any STEM setting.... In math and...

...build crazy robotics projects. I love helping students of all ages build understanding and excitement for various subjects. I believe that, with patience and the right set of tools, you can grow to enjoy any subject. As someone who used to be terrible at math and was taught to love it, I can attest to the fact that the right teacher can make a world of difference. I hope to work with you and help...

...attending Swarthmore. I most enjoy tutoring math and physics, since these are the subjects I love studying most on my own time. Explaining abstract ideas as a TA, as a volunteer in local schools, and as a frequent contributor to the student science magazine were some of my most rewarding experiences in college. Outside of academia, I love the outdoors, especially camping and back backing. After graduating from Swarthmore I worked as a caretaker on...
