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 towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

A history degree and a 32 ACT give Josh a strong handle on the analytical reading and essay-writing skills that run through IB's humanities track — particularly the document-based reasoning in History HL and the argumentative structure TOK essays demand.

Few tutors have lived the full IB experience the way Maria has — she entered the programme in middle school, completed higher-level courses through graduation, and earned the IB diploma. That means she understands not just individual subjects but the programme's unique demands: Internal Assessments, the Extended Essay, TOK connections, and the time-management balancing act that comes with carrying a full IB course load.

I am a dedicated, highly motivated individual with a passion for enhancing the learning experiences of others. I have taught as a classroom teacher and as a volunteer at state and national parks for the past few years. I focus particularly on highlighting connections between various subject matter to individuals' everyday lives. After I graduated with my Masters degree from Johns Hopkins University in 2014, I moved to New Mexico to pursue a career in environmental conservation. I currently work as a supervisor for an AmeriCorps program that provides opportunities for young adults to gain skills working in the field of conservation while also receiving training for personal and professional development. I aspire to become a ranger with the National Park Service and a freelance writer.

Dalton earned his own IB diploma and knows firsthand how demanding the program is — from managing the Extended Essay and TOK deadlines to balancing HL and SL coursework simultaneously. He breaks down the IB's unique assessment criteria so students understand exactly what examiners want in each subject. Rated 4.9 by students, he covers everything from internal assessments to CAS portfolio strategy.

Rithi teaches both IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches and IB Biology, giving her a cross-disciplinary grip on the IB curriculum that's hard to find in a single tutor. She knows how to navigate the internal assessment process — from refining research questions to structuring data analysis — because she's walked students through it across multiple IB science and math courses.

The IB Extended Essay is where most students first encounter real academic research writing — choosing a question, sustaining an argument across 4,000 words, and citing sources properly. Sydney has coached students through that exact process, drawing on her own multi-disciplinary coursework in psychology, Spanish, and religion to advise on topic development and thesis structure.

I am excited about the opportunity to apply my skills and experience for Varsity Tutors. In addition to my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish, I also have six years of experience teaching Spanish to middle school students.

IB's emphasis on interdisciplinary thinking and extended writing plays to Emily's strengths — she holds degrees in both political science and fine arts, and she teaches across IB Math, Extended Essay, and language courses.

I have years of experience tutoring college students in math (mostly calculus) and chemistry including both general and organic chemistry. In addition, I am very familiar with all sections of the SAT and ACT having prepared several high school students for these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these tests, so long as he or she works hard to get to know the format of the tests and the most popular types of questions. I tutor because I love seeing students develop a genuine passion for the subjects they once disliked (such as math and science), once they understand the power of these subjects and their applications to the real world.

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Pennsylvania. I have been tutoring for over 6 years now, and I have found it to be an extremely rewarding and enjoyable experience. I specialize in mathematics, particularly at the high school level, and I also have experience tutoring other subjects. I also have done SAT prep for the mathematics section of the New SAT and am very familiar with the recent changes to the exam. My belief is that everyone is capable of learning with enough time, explanation, and practice, and I hope to pass this on to all the students I work with. For this reason, I believe in teaching students how to think and problem solve, rather than just having them memorize patterns or facts.

I am a strong believer that anyone can learn anything! I attended the University of Pennsylvania as an undergraduate and recently finished my Master's in Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. As a tutor, I create a space where my learners can feel empowered and safe to take on the sometimes difficult, yet often fulfilling and fun, challenge of learning new things. I practice a growth mindset philosophy, and I often say that it is okay to be wrong, it just means you haven't learned the material... yet. With patience and effective pedagogy, I strive to give my students confidence that they can learn anything they set their mind to. I take my students' desires, motivations, goals, and interests seriously. Fun fact: I am an international student from Malaysia!
