Award-Winning Tutors from Boston University

I'm an undergraduate student at Boston University studying Neuroscience and Human Physiology in the Kilachand Honors College. I am a member of the BU D1 dance team and global medical brigades. I recently returned from a trip to Honduras where my brigade was able to provide healthcare to a rural community in central Honduras.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 a pediatric neurosurgeon one day!

I am a recent graduate from Tufts University with a B.S. in Geological Sciences. I will be pursuing my MDiv in Religion at Boston University this Fall with a focus on the intersections between Islam and religions of South East Asia. I am also disabled and work as a disability advocate. I am passionate about advocacy and equality for all people. I constantly strive to give a voice to the voiceless and to be a beacon of light to the forgotten.

As a dedicated Human Physiology student at Boston University, I have over three years of experience in tutoring a diverse range of subjects, including Biology, Chemistry, Algebra, and Calculus 1. My passion for teaching comes from a desire to help students achieve academic success. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring their interests. My teaching approach emphasizes active engagement and real-world applications, fostering a deeper understanding of the material.

I am available to tutor in writing, English, test prep, and many other subjects. I enjoy helping people advance and realize their potential.

Learning can happen anywhere, at anytime! I have been working with students and children of all ages for over ten years, in settings anywhere from daycare, to hockey camp, or Spanish Immersion school. I spent the last year teaching fourth grade math in an under-performing public school. In September I will begin working towards my Master's Degree in Theology. As a teacher I aim to determine the specific manner in which a student learns best. Meeting the individual learning needs of each student creates a fun learning environment! I believe that every student has the ability to achieve incredible things and I will guide them to that by maintaining a positive and encouraging environment.I graduated from Trinity College with a double major in Spanish and Religion. I absolutely love tutoring a wide range of subjects including Spanish, Math, English and Religion. In my free time I enjoy being active and playing sports, especially hockey, soccer and softball. I also love to run, roller-blade, and read.

I graduated from North Carolina State University with a B.S. in Animal Science and a minor in Genetics. I am currently receiving my Masters in Education from Boston University. I have been a 7th grade science teacher for the last two years. My content focus has been Astronomy, Physical Science, and Chemistry. I am also certified in Biology 5-8 and Biology 8-12. In my down time, I coach track and field and I love to run and read to de-stress.

I am a current student at Boston University studying Computer Science with a minor in Philosophy. I have an extensive history tutoring coding, math, writing, Chinese, and piano. I've tutored students from ages nine to twenty-two. Although I tutor a wide range of subjects, my favorites are coding (python and java) and writing/English. My goal is to make learning a positive and fun experience, while also making sure that the student learns as much as possible.

My key to good teaching is simplicity.Also, a lot of guided practice, then, independent in the real world.

Hello, my name is Donghu, but you can call me DK for short. I am currently a freshman at Boston University.

As a third grade ICT teacher for the Nest Program (children with Autism), I completely understand the importance of collaboration with other teachers and students. After completing my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Boston University, I continued my academic career at Adelphi University to receive a Master's Degree in Childhood Education. Now, I will be completing my 8th year as a teacher for the Department of Education.Since I am always interested trying new things and challenging myself, I recently began rock climbing. I love the mental and physical challenges of different activities and exercising. Traveling and exploring the world is another great love of mine. I have been lucky to have many wonderful memories experiencing different cultures, people and land. Sharing my travels and thousands of photographs with my family and students is humbling and exciting for me. In addition, I look forward to taking pottery classes with my mother to continue exploring things I enjoy and taking time to center myself. As a new mother, I can understand how necessary it is to take care of yourself so that you can bring your best to those in your life.I look forward to working with all students with all different needs!

I'm starting at Boston University Law School with a full scholarship this fall. I have B.A. degrees in economics and in international relations. I'm passionate about teaching. My favorite jobs have involved working with students. I began working with high schoolers and middle schoolers at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the U.S. Senate, giving tours of the building while simultaneously leading debates on current Senate bills. Since then, I have worked as an English SAT tutor. I was also the teaching coordinator of the community service branch of Boston University International Affairs Association for two years.I have previously helped high school juniors prepare for SAT Evidence-based Reading & Writing. I taught students how to recognize rhetorical devices and how to analyze scientific, historical, and literary writing. Additionally, I created weekly grammar worksheets and vocabulary quizzes. I also read college essays and walked students through the college application process.After studying for two months, I obtained an 173 on the September LSAT-Flex. As a result, I am familiar with the new format. I am also familiar with almost all the previously released practice tests. I can help my students gain an understanding of the general LSAT structure -- from the organization of each section to what a typical question looks like.I am patient and willing take extra time with students. If a student struggles with a concept, I will make extra time to help.

I have been sharing my love of chess with students young and old for almost 10 tears. For three years I taught after school, summer programs, and the Friday night intensive with the Berkeley Chess School. For the past five years I have been running the chess club at an excellent charter school in Chicago, where I teach full-time.The amazing successes of remote learning this past year and the extraordinary online tools available have inspired me to teach more chess again.I am rated over 2000 (daily) on chess.com

I am the first person in my family to be born in the United States. My entire family are immigrants and it was only recently that my last remaining family members came over from China. This meant that growing up I was the eldest of all the children in my family. Being an only child myself, I had a lot of responsibility to take care and help raise my cousins who are all younger. My interest and experience in tutoring comes from helping my cousins through school.My oldest cousin after me is three younger which means she was about to learn everything that I just had. When I a senior in high school, my cousins ranged from elementary school to freshman in high school. Going off to college led me to reflect on all the years I spent helping my cousins through school. Ever since middle school I would help them with math, writing, reading, and even on science projects. Moreover, I taught them about school itself how to learn, how to make friends, where to go for lunch, and so on.Watching them grow up made me understand what teaching and tutoring really means. Having the support from someone older who can also assist in academics builds confidence that students will carry throughout their academic careers. This is especially important at a young age. Even when I was at college my cousins would call from time to time about a problem they were having, school related or not. This is why my preference for being a tutor at Varsity Tutors is middle school and high school. I'd like to help students build their academic confidence while learning what they need to for school.

I began my love for music at a young age, when my mother enrolled me in violin lessons. The search for a voice that fit my inner music was long, but worthy. I dabbled in other string and woodwind instruments throughout my adolescence, but settled on the bassoon upon beginning high school. I taught myself how to play the bassoon initially, but thrived under the direction of Valentin Martchev at San Diego State University, where I completed my undergraduate degree in Bassoon Performance. I am currently in my final year of my master's degree at Boston University, studying with Valentin's former teacher, Nancy Goeres. I am comfortable teaching all age ranges and beginner to intermediate experience levels, and have had significant experience doing so throughout the years with high schoolers, colleagues in college, and most recently grade schoolers. Though my passion is bassoon pedagogy, I am also fascinated by music theory, and have taken several extra years of it throughout my education. I offer a sensitive but motivated approach, and emphasize quality instruction and rehearsal over quantity. I look forward to connecting with new students, whether they be bassoonists or theorists!

As a former Honor Roll student, who took AP Classes in high school, and assumed leadership positions in community service to prepare for entering a competitive college, I love to share my academic arsenal with students motivated to excel in their studies, and enter professional life prepared to succeed. I come from a family of educators - both of my parents teach, and promote educational initiatives. As a firm believer in a well-rounded education, I like to tutor subjects that exercise both Right-brained & Left-brained skill sets.Whatever a student's personal goals, I'm the coach who can help a student leverage their own personal learning style to perform: ace technical details, harness the power of repetition, and take advantage of the revising process the goes into producing polished results that land the job, the account, or gain an applicant entry to his or her university of choice.As keynote speaker of the Youth Toastmasters high school program, I can offer a structured perspective on planning and executing a speech, preparing mentally for the experience of public speaking, and constructively reviewing a completed speech.As a detail-oriented, mathematical thinker working in Billing, I can provide Algebra students with insight into working with formulas, identifying exceptions to mathematical rules, and identifying errors in logic. I like to refer to one of the golden rules of mathematics: make sure your results can be replicated by anyone correctly using your method.Classic literature has always had a place in my life, in and out of school. The lessons classic literature can teach the average reader is what makes great works of fiction like the Great Gatsby and Anna Karenina still relevant today. I'm also well-versed in the sentence, grammar, and paragraph structure that play into crafting an essay that will make the grade.

I am a licensed attorney in the Boston area with a proven track record of academic and professional success. But law is not my only passion, I have also always had a passion for teaching. I am dedicated to helping every student achieve their full academic potential. I recognize that not every student learns in the same way, and I will adapt my teaching style to the particular needs of every student.

I earned my Master's Degree in Physics at Boston University and went to Pennsylvania State University for my Bachelor of Science in Physics and minor in Mathematics. In graduate school, I was a Teaching Assistant for two years, and I had been teaching several college-level introductory or intermediate physics courses, whether they are labs, discussions or studios style. With my experience, I can ignite the passion of learning using active and engaging teaching methods. Science and technology is my favorite field and I would love to share my expertise with my students. Although Physics is a tough subject, I have gained much respect from students by helping them master physics and mathematics challenges over my teaching career. In the spare time, I often try to learn new recipe in cooking of different culture and experiment on making new cuisines.

First things first- I love learning!As someone who's worked with foreign languages for a number of years, I have extensive experience from both sides of the language learning sphere- teaching and learning. My training in Linguistics has given me a deeper understanding of the inner-workings of both Language and the brain with language acquisition. This expertise helps me take a more logical, natural approach to language learning- something so many language teachers these days seem to miss!By keeping lessons interesting, practical, and engaging, I am able to help students gain confidence, learn to think IN the language, and learn the tools to develop their own language capacities.

I love learning and teaching others about things that interest me.

While tutoring in college I found that tutoring/teaching was something I enjoyed very much. Not only was I understanding the material in much more depth, but I also enjoyed watching those that I tutored succeed in their classes, and get a sense of achievement. I received my degree in Engineering, which allowed me to study various subjects in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), thus allowing me to get a sense of how all of these subjects interact with each other, specially mathematics as the tool that unites all of them. Although I received my degree in Engineering, I have been drawn to a classroom because I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, but also enjoy learning from my students as they present various ways of solving problems. I have tutored students at different levels of education, from primary to college. Although they are different in age range, I have been able to overcome this age gap by looking at their learning styles. Not everyone learns the same way, and that is what I need to understand about my students, what is their style and tailor the tutoring session to maximize their learning. I am excited to have an opportunity to help students understand the concepts they are learning. I bring over 20 years of teaching and work experience that will compliment my tutoring sessions and make the subject matter relevant to the student.

After attending high school in Vermont and graduating near the top of my class, I attended Boston University to study Political Science. During my time there, I participated in numerous internship programs, including a semester in Washington, DC, and was recognized as a member of the Dean's List every semester. In May 2014, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a major in Political Science and a minor in Music.I have extensive experience with managing and training staff- skills which help me prepare my students to succeed. My own passion for education enables me to inspire those I tutor. I utilize an in-depth approach that focuses on the big picture, not just rote memorization. My students will not only be better prepared for their classes and exams, but will gain skills and strategies they can apply in their future studies.When not tutoring,I am an avid football fan (Patriots, Texans and Longhorns) and musician. I enjoy photography, squash, and volunteering as well. On the weekends I enjoy traveling and enjoying nature, including horse back riding and traveling to Galveston to go deep sea fishing.

I am a graduate of Boston University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Communication with a focus on Public Relations and Advertising.

In this role, I counsel and advise both prospective and current students who are part of our Master's Program in Sports Management.While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I always had passion for both English and Mathematics. I understand my work through systems, and tutor students to create the systems that work best for their own personal growth. Students learn to master their own work, and can continue to grow independently outside of the tutor sessions.In my spare time, I am a fan of Musical Theater - both as an audience member and occasional actor. I also run competitively and am currently training for the 2017 NYC Marathon.

As a former "if she would only just apply herself" poster child, I know it's not a lack of effort or want that's keeping you from doing your homework. Let me help by providing you with real tools that will help you long past your academic journey.

I am a graduate of Boston University, with a bachelor's degree in computer science, and New England School of Law | Boston, with a law degree. I am a practicing attorney, but my passion has always been to teach. I have taught children, friends, colleagues, clients, and subordinates throughout my life and it is the single most enjoyable part of my job. I strongly believe that, teaching a student the "why" of something is far more important than simple memorization; it is this understanding of the material that helps the student apply the theory to a completely different fact pattern. While I tutor students in a broad range of subjects, my passions are towards reading/writing and mathematics. In my spare time, I enjoy creative writing, reading, football/hockey (cheering loudly, not participating), and strategy games.

I'm passionate about helping students build confidence and develop a genuine love of learning. I believe every student can reach their highest potential with the right guidance, consistent practice, and encouragement. My goal is to make challenging material feel approachable by connecting lessons to each student's interests and learning style. I create an engaging, supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, learning from mistakes, and enjoy learning.

I just completed my first year at Boston University. I am working towards a Bachelor of Arts in Pure and Applied Mathematics as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Astronomy and Physics. I have enjoyed studying math and science since I was in elementary school. I would always help my friends out by answering their questions about the material. For about the last five years, I have had my own tutoring business where I have tutored a wide variety of math courses from elementary school math to pre-calculus and calculus. I like to make sure my students have a complete understanding of the core concepts before going into practice questions. I have also had experience helping my peers with physics and computer science courses.

I currently live in Glendale, AZ, and work with special needs students. For my undergraduate studies, I majored in Religious Studies and Theology. After finishing my Bachelors, I moved to Boston and completed two Masters Degrees in Religion, Philosophy, and Ethics at Boston University. I have taught classes, tutored, been a Teachers Assistant and a Research Assistant at two different graduate Universities. I am primarily interested in Religious Studies and Philosophy, but I also love to tutor literature, writing, special education, and research methods. Whenever I tutor, I make sure it is a fun and enjoyable experience. After all, who wants to be bored and frustrated when doing homework? Outside of education, I enjoy art galleries, poetry, playing guitar, and reading a good book.

I have always been passionate about teaching. I am the oldest of 4. In the summer when I was young, we would play school, and I would be the teacher. At Boston University, I earned a BA in Latin/ French and Education. I then traveled to the University of Michigan where I held a teaching fellowship position in Latin while I worked on my MA in Latin. I no longer have a formal teaching position. I have spent many years teaching Latin, but I also have been able to spend about 9 years working in elementary schools with K-5 reading and writing. I loved doing that and feel very competent to tutor in those areas. Right now, I tutor 6 nights a week. I believe in being kind but firm with students and getting to know them as people besides just as those I tutor. I am a retired teacher of more than 30 years' experience in about 6 different states. I have done tutoring all along the way besides being in classrooms. I especially enjoy seeing beginning Latin students advance to competency and learn about the Romans, etc. while studying their language. I have worked with students from 3rd grade through 12. I taught college Freshmen at the University of Michigan. I was also am licensed as a k-12 librarian because I love reading and the organization of a good library.

I am a recent graduate of Boston University, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Secondary Social Studies Education. I have my Massachusetts teaching license for History, grades 5-12. For my student teaching practicum, I taught American History and US Government at a high school just south of Boston. I also spent four years working at the Boston University Undergraduate Admissions Office and therefore am well versed in the college application admissions process. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about History, Government, and college prep. I thoroughly enjoy working with students and feel that good learning only happens through a solid foundation of understanding if you don't understand Algebra 2, then you can't learn Calculus. Similarly, if you never learned about the Revolutionary War and the creation of the Constitution, then you can't properly learn about US Politics and Government. Additionally, I believe that a quality education is the key to not only a successful but a fulfilling and happy life. I am an avid politico and am currently working at a government affairs firm in downtown Washington, D.C; eventually I would like to have a job in education policy. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling to visit friends and family, running, hiking, and exploring Washington, D.C. Go Terriers!
