...TA for courses in Statistics and Psychology. Currently, I am attending Palo Alto University to obtain a PhD in Clinical Psychology. During my time off from classes, I will be available to tutor several subjects both in-person in the Bay Area as well as online. I will gladly tutor students of any age. While I am proficient in all subjects listed on my profile, I am best at tutoring in Statistics and Psychology.

...being part of that process. I try to explain concepts in unorthodox ways: a student loves business? We can apply math to profit-maximization problems. Physics? Applying math to moving particles is incredibly intuitive. Math is beautiful in that it can be approached in many ways - for example, each problem has an algebraic, geometric, and graphical interpretation - and I love searching for the approach that best fits the student. While my specialty is math,...

...this! I have a masters degree from the University of Oxford and I am actively doing research in mathematics. I took all the standard undergraduate coursework both in the United States and in Russia, and left with (near) perfect grades. On weekends, I taught and mentored a group of teenagers in Oxford and am now a tutor in various capacities. I feel strongly that through hard work and dedication, anyone can love and succeed at...

Providing guidance in science and mathematics to help students understand the real-world applications of scientific and mathematical concepts in their everyday lives. I have a B.S.E. in Aerospace Engineering and a B.S. in Sustainable Energy Materials and Technology, and I am pursuing my M.S. in Aerospace Engineering.... Learning science and mathematics through real-world applications that show how concepts can actually be used to solve real problems.... I'd ask them about topics they feel uncomfortable with, as...

...to students struggling in a classroom environment. Sometimes teachers do not have the time to give sufficient personalized attention, the way a qualified tutor can. I believe that I can help motivate and encourage students who are currently having difficulty. I teach in a conceptual manner, encouraging deeper thought, rather than pure memorization. I have been a mathematics tutor for over twenty years. I started tutoring while attending the University of Pennsylvania in 1992. I...

...I tutored elementary through high school students in mathematics and the sciences. In college, I taught a weekly class to local high school students interested in learning about neuroscience. Since college, I have continued tutoring students on a weekly basis in a wide variety of subjects. I graduated from Middlebury College in 2012 with High Honors in Neuroscience, and now plan to attend medical school. I am a diligent worker and consistently ensure that I...

...of Tennessee. I am very passionate about the subjects that I tutor, which include mathematics, standardized testing preparation, reading, English, writing, and basic French, and I firmly believe that anyone can master these topics with the proper guidance. I incorporate various methods of tutoring, including showing many examples, giving thorough explanations, and prompting students with questions to help facilitate the correct thought process. I love helping students and seeing their knowledge and understanding grow as...

...are having trouble. I try to make math interesting (it actually is) and I truly care about my students. Helping students who do not grasp the material quickly and getting them to understand is the most rewarding thing I do. I believe that all students can master mathematics and usually find that there is either some underlying but simple problem that needs to be overcome and the student will succeed. Often, a failure to fully...

...can be broken down into small steps and tackled bit by bit. This makes hard problems far less scary and produces steady reward for the solver. My role in your study will be to help you find the small components in a problem and tackle each one, and provide a patient voice of encouragement for you. If you practice solving any kind of problem this way, eventually you won't believe that you ever found any...

...in mathematics and computer science during my undergraduate studies, and have experience working in the Lenovo Artificial Intelligence lab. This summer, I am an actuarial intern at Hartford Financial Services, where I am working in the Credit and Market Risk team to develop and deploy regression models for measuring credit spreads, alongside building tools in R and Python to better allow my team to utilize my code. I have passed five actuarial exams (P, FM,...

...fact that tutors get compensated, I'm not working with this fantastic company for the money; I'm working with Varsity Tutors to help you grow academically. While attending the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I held a few roles in academia. I was a class assistant for Differential Equations for 3 semesters, where I organized and led study sessions, graded assignments, etc. At different points in my college career, I also worked as a mentor for...

I have been working with a spectrum of students for four years, from students who just need a little direction to students who need a heavy hand. My favorite subjects to teach are math, physics, and reading comprehension. I am currently studying Computer Science at UIUC. When I tutor, I try to engage the students in a new way and ask them questions to push their learning.

...there working in the math tutoring center. I loved being able to work one-on-one with students and see their growth as they started to understand the material. I strongly believe that understanding concepts is just as important as being able to work out technical problems, and that all students (regardless of perceived mathematical intelligence) have the ability to do so. I also understand how mathematics functions to gatekeep some students from certain majors and jobs...

...completing a Pre-Med track that included biology and physics courses. For the past year I've worked in a research lab studying childhood leukemia, and I plan on attending medical school in the next year. I specialize in tutoring a broad range of subjects including chemistry, biology, and physics, as well as math subjects like algebra and calculus. I also tutor for standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, AP tests, and the MCAT. I sincerely believe...

...as a graduate teaching assistant and then a visiting instructor at Michigan State University. I even taught high school mathematics for a year prior to that. When I am teaching or tutoring a student, I always try to abide by the motto: "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." This motto has helped me focus on being a good listener, which I believe has made me a very...

A tutor or teacher can offer information or ideas. Cooperation with the student is required for learning to occur. I have taught in many environments from basketball coach to snowboard instructor. My education is taking me toward becoming a Math teacher. I look forward to the interactions where I can help students engage with the academic material ... Small goals and recognition of accomplishments are a useful to maintaining motivation.... Learning is rarely independent. We rely...

...standardized testing needs. Being an engineer means that I'm a problem-solver, and that I need to be able to adapt to a variety of situations. I apply that skill to my tutoring: every student is different, and I adapt my teaching methods to those differences. The most important thing I do is make sure each student understands what they're trying to learn, not just tricks to get through their homework. If there's some basic skills...

I am a recent graduate of UCLA. I majored in Business Economics and Minored in Mathematics. I began tutoring because I love to teach. My philosophy is that if you can't explain a complex idea to someone who is unfamiliar with it then you do not fully understand it. I plan to attend a graduate program in Mathematical Game Theory by the fall of next year. After the program I want to become a professor.
