A rigorous scientific education required Tina to rely on algebraic reasoning daily, from manipulating complex equations to isolating variables across multi-step problems. She breaks down topics like systems of equations and polynomial expressions by showing how each technique connects to the next, s...

The jump from arithmetic to algebra trips students up when variables start replacing numbers and equations feel disconnected from anything real. Colton tackles that gap by connecting concepts like solving systems of equations and factoring polynomials to the kind of problem-solving he used daily in ...

I am a student at the Georgia Institute of Technology studying Chemical Engineering. For the past several years, I have worked with students extensively. Through hosting events for younger kids to learn about STEM and for older teens to practice empathetic design, I know the importance of teaching s...

The jump into algebra is really a jump into abstract thinking, and Michelle tackles it by making sure students understand *why* a technique works before drilling repetitions. Whether it's distributing, factoring, or solving systems of equations, she breaks each method into a clear sequence of steps ...

Before students can tackle higher math or science, they need algebra to feel automatic — not just memorized procedures but genuine comfort manipulating expressions and reasoning about unknowns. Rohith breaks down topics like systems of equations and polynomial factoring by connecting them to the qua...

Most algebra struggles trace back to one or two specific gaps — maybe distributing negatives, maybe setting up equations from word problems — rather than a general inability with math. Anthony diagnoses those gaps quickly and addresses them with targeted practice on factoring, systems of equations, ...

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old e...

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all su...

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant ...

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults...

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best descr...

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received ...

I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medici...

I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campu...

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tut...
