I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and I am studying social studies with a focus on Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. I have lived my whole life until college in the incredible countries of Rwanda and Kenya (with one year in Egypt). Since education wasn't easily accessible to me through elementary school, very early on I had to learn how to love learning and teach myself. Even after many years of more formal education I haven't lost that spark and that ownership of my education yet! I love tutoring because it allows me to bring people into that same kind of ownership of their knowledge. I love tutoring all sorts of different subjects, but I have the most experience (and maybe the most love) for tutoring in calculus, French, Arabic, English as a second language, and test prep!

I am a doctoral student in philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania. I received a B.A. in Philosophy and Humanities from Villanova University (2014) and completed the post-baccalaureate program in Classical Studies at Penn (2015). I am primarily interested in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, but I am also interested in formal logic and ethical theory.
I'm a dental hygiene resident at UNC Adams School of Dentistry and studying to be dental hygiene educator. My thesis and research is focused on environmentally sustainable dental practices. Part of my graduate student duties is to educate and tutor adult learners on subjects such oral pathology, microbiology, tooth anatomy, and clinical skills. I also have experience educating and tutoring learners from grades pre-k to 12 on subjects that range from writing/reading to math. Educating and learning is for everyone but sometimes it's about finding the method that works for you. Personal understanding of what learning methods work and willingness to explore is key to lifelong academic success and development.
I am a current senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am completing a degree in Health Policy and Management with minors in chemistry and biology.

I have worked as a tutor at the UNC Learning Center for two semesters and I have been a TA for anatomy and physiology for three semesters (two of those as lead TA).
I am a graduate of UNC Chapel Hill and an incoming student at Duke Law School who provides tutoring sessions to help students prepare for their SATs.

I emphasize practicing SAT test-taking techniques which can help students improve their scores.
I am an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on a pre-medicine track, majoring in Health Policy and Management, and minoring in Medical Spanish and Education! I am a National Merit Scholar as well as a Carolina Research Scholar. I'm originally from Brookline, MA and I've been a tutor for about five years now. I work a lot with elementary/middle school kids as both a volunteer and at Kumon, and I have also peer tutored at my high school in honors biology, chemistry, math, and Spanish. Primarily specializing in ACT test prep, I've improved many of my clients' scores by 3 or more points, and helped all of my students achieve their ACT goals. In my free time, I love singing with my a cappella group, the UNC Loreleis, swimming, hanging out with my friends, traveling, going on runs, and petting every dog I see.
I am a senior in college at UNC - Chapel Hill and love helping others. I am a firm believer in helping others help themselves. I am a strong and passionate leader and look forward to working with students in the areas that they need help in in a comfortable way to ensure that they are confident in their academics.
I am a freshman at the University of Pittsburgh looking to pursue the pre-med track as a Neuroscience major. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, playing the piano, writing, reading, listening to music, etc.
I am Abir, a freshman at UNC. I am double majoring in biochemistry and neuroscience with a planned minor in mathematics. My dream is to attend medical school and become a surgeon. As a recent high school graduate, I know all too well the struggles and stresses of being a high-achieving student aiming for the very best college acceptances. It is because I know this feeling so well that I want to help in any way I can.
As a dedicated tutor who is currently a Political Science and Public Policy student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I am passionate about fostering a love for learning in my students. I specialize in ACT and SAT preparation, AP Literature and Language courses, and any other English or writing related subjects! My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive environment where students feel encouraged to express themselves and engage with the material. I strive to tailor my approach to each individual learner, ensuring that they not only grasp the concepts but also gain confidence in their abilities. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading literature and exploring new ideas, which I believe enriches my teaching and inspires my students.
As a Science Education major at UNC and a Museum Studies: Science Education Master's student at Harvard University, I have learned science and math at a high standard, but, more importantly, have been taught how to frame my knowledge in fun and easy to understand ways. Although I am extremely passionate about all forms of science and math, I have discovered that my true passion is in teaching. I want to not only help my students learn, but to actually get them excited about what they study and to find what they enjoy in school. After working as a subcontractor to NASA, I pursued further studies in science education while teaching middle school math. I have worked in the field of education for a decade and have tutored students from four years old to over eighty. Everyone has different ways of learning and I strive to cater to that. I have tutored, taught at the high school and college level, and worked as an educator at a planetarium and an aquarium. I am extremely dedicated to my students as I always want them to succeed as well as have fun with their education. I am excited to start learning together!
I am a current undergraduate student at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering. I am pursuing a bachelor of science in engineering in mechanical engineering, a minor in computer science, and a certificate in innovation and entrepreneurship. As an engineer, I believe one of my greatest strengths is breaking down complex ideas into manageable steps that are easy to follow. I have an abundance of STEM tutoring experience through my high school's National Honors Society chapter and as a freelance tutor. Additionally, I have experience working with children as an instructor for Techsplorer's engineering camps/workshops and as a member of the YMCA Leader's Club. The subjects I enjoy teaching are Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Statistics, Trigonometry, Physics, and SAT/ACT Math and Science Prep. I believe that as a passionate younger college student, I am able to connect with students more effectively, as I was in their shoes not too long ago! Outside of school and teaching, I like to play Ultimate Frisbee, spend time with my dog, and work on personal engineering projects.
I am a graduate of Duke University with a dual Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering and Economics. I started tutoring in high school, working with Spanish-speaking ESL students in their native language as volunteer service. Due to my exceptional academic performance, family friends and members of my local church would often ask me to tutor their children, a request I would grant as much as my schedule allowed. My professional experience with tutoring only began in college, when I was hired as a teaching assistant for the Duke TIP summer program. After graduation, I worked for an international test prep company for two years. In addition to teaching classes on the SAT, ACT, and SAT II Subject Tests, I also provided private tutoring services in high school-level math, statistics, and physics.
I am a junior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Linguistics. I have experience tutoring high school students in biology and chemistry as well as elementary school students in reading and math. I also served as a teaching apprentice for two semesters in the introductory biology lab course at UNC. While I tutor many subjects, I am most passionate about Biology, Chemistry, and science. I believe that education is extremely important, and I hope to inspire a love of learning in all of the students I tutor. In my free time, I enjoy running, playing ultimate frisbee, and making art.
I'm currently preparing my applications for graduate programs in comparative literature for the 2021-2022 academic year.
I am eager to tutor new students and help them learn the ins and outs of reading and writing!
I am a senior college student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, majoring in Philosophy with a minor in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics. I have experience working with elementary and middle school students, but am also prepared to tutor students at the high school level. I am proficient in writing, reading skills, composition, IB Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge tutoring, as well as philosophy and psychology. My favorite area of tutoring is, naturally, philosophy, given the analytical and logically focused virtue of that domain, though writing and reading skills are inherently tied to its practice, and I therefore also favor working with students in these areas. My main goal with students is to endow them with the skills necessary to excel in their chosen fields without the fears of lack of preparation or unfamiliarity with the given subject. I typically begin with a diagnostic overview of the students capabilities, and once their abilities have been assessed, continued with a targeted approach to augment their deficiencies and highlight their individual skills. Beyond academia, I love studying and playing Chess, Tennis, and Skiing, schedule permitting!
I am so excited to help other students discover their love of learning and excel in their coursework.
I am: I graduated from Yale University in 2016 and I am currently on my gap year between college and medical school.
Hello! My name is Emily, I received my PhD from UNC Chapel Hill in the pharmaceutical sciences division of pharmacoengineering. My undergraduate degree was in cell and molecular biology. My dissertation project was focused on biomaterials, bioinformatics, and molecular biology, so I have a passion for teaching biology in a way that makes it relevant for every day life. I'm currently an R&D scientist at a small company in the research triangle.
I am studying political science and statistics, and I will be working in finance after graduation. I also have strengths in Spanish (I studied abroad in Spain), standardized tests, and test taking and organization skills. In my free time I love to run, spend time with friends, and travel. I actually think standardized tests are fun and I would love to help you learn to feel that way too.

As a passionate biologist with a PhD in Developmental Biology from Stanford University, I bring a unique blend of academic expertise and a hands-on teaching approach to my tutoring sessions. With experience in guiding students through complex concepts in AP Biology, Cell Biology, and Genetics, I focus on tailoring each lesson to meet individual learning goals. My methodology emphasizes interactive problem-solving and real-world applications, fostering a supportive environment where students can thrive. I believe in making learning engaging by incorporating memory devices and fun facts that spark curiosity. I'm excited to inspire the next generation of scientists and help students unlock their potential in biology.
I believe that learning is a lifelong process. I want to help you along your learning journey be as a teenager or adult.
