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'm a recent graduate from Boston University with a BA in Linguistics and a double minor in Anthropology and Clinical Speech Therapy. During my sophomore year of college, I made the decision to get on track to pursue speech therapy as my career out of my love of mentoring and fascination with language. I had my own humble beginnings in South Florida juggling AP tests and marching band at Cypress Bay High School, where I first had the opportunity to learn from and teach my peers subjects ranging from Calculus to English Literature to Jazz Theory. I will be returning to Boston in the Fall to pursue an MS in Speech-Language Pathology at Northeastern University.My teaching philosophy revolves around speaking to students' strengths and building flexible understanding of fundamentals. From grammar to statistics, any subject can be made approachable once a student knows the rules and understands the reasoning behind them. It would be a pleasure to work with you or your child.

As a former international security professional with experience reading and writing in think tanks and research centers for a living, I have a unique ability to analyze information and produce thoughtful, concise literary constructions. My experience successfully maneuvering through the American pre-college standardized and Advanced Placement (AP) testing complexes familiarized me with the organizational skills and learning techniques useful to increase scores.Relying on analytical writing skills and reading comprehension in fast-paced international security-related posts, including at the United Nations and a national laboratory, I will help your child successfully analyze literature from homework assignments to SAT reading passages. Constructing an array of different written products ranging from essays to policy memorandums to a master's thesis paper has taught me to quickly shift from one writing style and target audience to another.With professional proficiency in Russian language, I am also happy to help with study of beginner level Russian language.

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

I am currently applying to MFA programs and working as a tutor in NYC. I went to Boston University where I studied Mandarin, Political Science, and East Asian Studies. After spending a lot of time in Shanghai and coming back to the US where I worked at a midsize marketing firm, I realized I am really most passionate about literature and reading. I left the marketing world to pursue academia and have been fully immersed in this world of learning and tutoring for over a year. Outside of Varsity Tutors, I also tutor an 11th grade boy several times a week in AP English and AP Biology. Personally, I also enjoy writing fiction, specifically short stories, and I play acoustic guitar.

My name is Amir and tutoring is something that I both enjoy and find important for some people to succeed in certain areas of study. I believe that every person learns differently, so a different approach must be taken with different people. I am a student at Boston University majoring in International Relations with a concentration in Business and Economics. I look forward to helping you succeed!I enjoy swimming, skiing, and fencing. I also like to read literature and history as well.

I am a graduate of Boston University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Communication with a focus on Public Relations and Advertising. After graduation, I worked for a few years producing the advertising for Broadway shows, before switching to a higher education role as an Academic Advisor at Columbia University. 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.

My name is Lynne Kang and I was born in South Korea and spent my childhood in Singapore before moving to the States for high school. In 2013, I moved back to Korea for my husband's work with my 3 kids. And after 9 years, I moved back to the States. I have over 20 years of tutoring experience in both South Korea and in the US.

Life is an adventure. Sometimes it's exciting. Sometimes it's boring. But, life is for exploring what, who, and why you are becoming.

Too much of life is learned through trial and error. While this way of learning develops resolve and resilience, it wastes our most precious resource: time.You are reading this because you believe that it is worth investing money to be taught something because it will save you time. I am here to teach you things in a no nonsense, no frills, results-oriented way. Trust that you and I have the same goal: seeing you succeed.I have tutored and mentored other students who have earned entry into Ivy League schools and top NYC public schools. I believe that doing well in school is not solely about the grades you make, but also about the hands you shake. In addition to teaching you trignometry, I will mentor you on how to approach school.My name is Alif. I work as a finance & risk consultant. I do not tutor for the money. I tutor to be surrounded by kids who are hungry to succeed.

I have been tutoring elementary and middle school students for a few years now.

I am a social sciences and writing teacher in both training and by passion. I enjoy teaching all aspects of language, from minute grammar rules to vocabulary to the larger and more complex methods and approaches to paper writing. I am am interested in the math and sciences, and have long harbored an appreciation and a desire to share in my excitement and understanding of the world around us.I am currently a Master's student at the University of Chicago in a program called MAPSS (Master's of Arts Program in the Social Sciences). I came to UChicago after six years in education so I could qualify to teach at the tertiary level. I already have a Master's of Education in Secondary History, and confirmed to myself over six years of teaching, tutoring, and mentoring that education is where I belong. It has been quite difficult not having any students the past six months while I have been focusing on my studies, but the path before me is clear enough that I am able to reenter education.Having as many teaching experiences and learning to meet different needs has been a strong influence on my career to date. In addition to being a classroom teacher, I have previous experience as a substitute teacher, both per diem and long term. I also taught adults with disabilities for 8 months, specializing as the Health and Wellness Instructor. I spent a year as a one-to-one for a sophomore with special needs, and after that began my pre-practicum and practicum in technical high school. I have worked for Princeton Review and PrepNow as an SAT tutor, and did private tutoring in SAT and English as a Secondary Language for six months last year.In all of these ventures, my favorite aspect of the vocation has always been the "question," the moment when a student pauses, sits befuddled for a second or two, then either is able to pinpoint exactly what is keeping him or her from moving on or making a poignant observation in the form of a question. What is so wonderful about those moments is they are when learning is truly happening. The results often come in two types. The first is the "a-HA!" moment that teachers crave; this is when new information fits comfortably among what is already established in our understanding, or what makes two seemingly unrelated pieces connect. The second is a feeling of distress. This is when a new piece of information or framework for looking at the world feels uncomfortable because our brain is struggling to find a place to categorize that information into what we already know, or new information contradicts what we thought we knew. Both reactions are necessary for learning, but the latter sometimes gets lost in embarrassment, uncertainty, or the swiftness of the classroom. I think that what makes a great teacher is not only giving space for those types of uncomfortable moments and not only being able to address them effectively, but giving encouragement to students to both admit to and encourage those types of sensations. Without feeling confused once in a while, how is one ever to know that he or she is learning?

I am a current undergraduate Junior studying Behavioral Biology and Spanish at Boston University! Whether it be tedious SAT/ACT sections or intimidating college essays, I hope to make these seemingly difficult subjects a little less stressful for you! And remember: No question is ever a dumb question! I have been in you or your child's exact position and have been through nearly a dozen tutors in my academic career myself. I look forward to meeting you and making exams and essays a little easier for you as well!

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Electronic Engineering, a Masters Degree in Manufacturing Engineering, a MBA Degree and a Master's Degree in Information Systems. I'm an experienced Engineer/Manager, Programmer and Website Developer. I have always been interested in Science, Engineering, Math, and Technology. I'm obsessed with learning about computers and technology. I have learned Assembly, Pascal, C, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python programming languages. I have designed and built over 10 websites for organizations. I have 6 certificates in Python programming, 2 certificates in HTML/CSS and a certificate in JavaScript. My tutoring style is to spend time emphasizing the concepts of programming and make sure these concepts are understood. Once the programming concepts are understood the actual writing of code becomes much easier. I also spend time finding out what the student feels he/she has difficulty understanding. We will also review code that is already written so I can analyze the student's understanding of this code. I have a passion for helping others experience success in the STEM fields. I'm easy to reach by email, text or phone and will provide a fast response. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions.

I am a rising junior at Boston University majoring in Psychology. I have experience tutoring middle schoolers one-on-one in algebra and writing. I am also fluent in Korean, and have experience teaching elementary and middle school students Korean. Tutoring is a very rewarding job for me; I feel a rush of excitement when I help a student finally understand a concept. Therefore, I am a very thorough instructor, and am determined to help my students using every possible resource and method. Furthermore, I have had extensive experience being tutored throughout my academic career, and am well aware of the value of a good tutor. I still remember the amazing tutors who worked with me tirelessly, and I can still recall the exact moments when they made everything click for me. I hope to be that kind of memorable tutor for my students.

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!

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 received my undergraduate degree in Music Education from the University of North Texas. I then challenged myself further and earned a Masters Degree in Bassoon Performance from Boston University. I also worked with the Children's Theater Company of New York City while in grad school developing musical theater curriculum and directing plays. After graduation, I lived in Haifa, Israel where I volunteered for 18 months with people from 80 countries around the world! I finally came home to Oklahoma after 9 years. 7 years after finishing my Masters Degree, I decided it was time to pursue a doctoral degree in Bassoon Performance at the University of Oklahoma. I finished three weeks before my daughter was born. Currently, I am the only person who has earned a doctoral degree in the Bassoon. When I began teaching in schools, my first job was teaching Elementary Music and Gifted and Talented classes. I then taught fifth grade Social Studies and moved on to high school Biology and middle school Science. I have also been a professor of music at Oklahoma City University for over ten years. I'm certified to teach Math, Science, and Music, but I also have a passion for History, World Cultures, Study Skills, and Writing. I have been teaching private bassoon and oboe lessons for 20 years and feel very blessed to be both a professional performer and educator. My goal as a teacher is to empower my students to become lifelong learners and lovers of knowledge. I love to travel, and have been to all of the lower 48 states, as well as many different countries. I love sports, jogging, horseback riding, and cooking. I find it especially enjoyable to bring my adventures back to my students and encourage them to go make their own throughout their lives!

As a graduate student in Nutrition and Metabolism at Boston University, I am passionate about bridging the gap between complex scientific concepts and student understanding! With a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from the University of Illinois at Chicago and over 2 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in subjects such as AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and high school physics. My approach to tutoring is rooted in fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to explore and connect with the material. I believe that education should be both accessible and enjoyable, and I strive to make STEM subjects relatable by highlighting their real-world applications! Having benefited from tutoring myself, I understand the importance of building meaningful connections that encourage academic success without unnecessary pressure. I am committed to nurturing curiosity and a love for learning in every student I work with!

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 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.

As a passionate educator with a Master's in Music Education from Boston University, I have over 5 years of experience in tutoring and classroom teaching. My specialties include General Music, Drama, Creative Writing, Elementary English, Reading, Writing, Handwriting, Music Theory, Phonics, Piano, and Singing. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment where students can express themselves and build confidence in their abilities. I strive to connect with each student by tailoring my approach to their unique needs and interests, fostering a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom. In my free time, I enjoy exploring creative arts of all kinds.

I am motivated to tutor by my own experiences as a student, in particular by my history and rhetoric professors at Boston University. Since then, curiosity and learning have proven incredibly empowering for me. Language and reading, especially, have inspired moments of expression, creativity, and self-worth. Mastery of history shapes the way I see and believe in the world. We are all equipped with special skills and it's exciting to uncover how we best understand a variety of subjects. I can't wait to cultivate that feeling with students across the continuum of learning.

I am a linguistics graduate student at Boston University. I earned two undergraduate degrees from the University of Connecticut in Cognitive Science and Linguistics, and have enjoyed tutoring all through my educational career. I have been tutoring since high school in a variety of different subjects and every experience has been unique and fulfilling. From middle and high school students to college students, I love the challenge of finding the best way to make a concept make sense to a student and learning about all of the new and different ways that a problem can be looked at and understood. I am an upbeat and enthusiastic individual and I work hard to keep my lessons both informative and fun. Outside of academics, I am a fan of classical music, Harry Potter, and my little dachshund, Hazel!

Passionate about fostering an interest in the field of math and science.

I am a graduate of Boston University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with a minor in Biology, and a Pre-Medical concentration. Given this, my academic knowledge is obviously eclectic. In the past few years following my education, I have discovered a passion for teaching and currently work as an Instructor for Seven Hills Foundation. I have a straight-forward teaching philosophy which applies to each student as an individual learner. This helps to identify and clarify misunderstandings in the process rather than stumbling over information. I am able to teach in English and Writing, as well as across most maths and sciences, including Organic/Inorganic Chemistry, Biology, Statistics, Algebra, and Calculus. I strongly believe in lifelong learning, and try to practice that philosophy daily. My other passion is music, as I play guitar and piano. Otherwise, I enjoy spending time with friends and simple moments of relaxation.

I am currently an undergraduate student at Boston University studying Biomedical Engineering. I have a strong passion for the math and sciences and love sharing and passing this passion to others. I am a committed and dedicated student and tutor who believes that everyone possesses the ability to learn new things. I am a strong believer in adapting my teaching style to fit the needs of the student and how they learn best. I find it is easiest to learn when you are interested and engaged in a subject and that is what I try to teach. I have a strong desire to help others reach their full potential and help them find what they are interested in. In my spare time I enjoy being outdoors hiking, biking and playing sports.

I know the feeling: you are stuck on a chemistry problem, and it seems like it's taking forever to learn/do that problem set/get your work done. It feels super frustrating. Other times, a concept just doesn't make sense. Other people might say that it does, and that makes you feel a little bad. I have been in that situation so many times and I know exactly how that feels. But I have always decided to keep going, no matter how hard the obstacles. I have worked hard in school and I hope that I can help make learning easier for you! Over the years of studying in college I have developed effective study habits and problem solving methods that I hope to share with you as you embark on your journey of learning. I love to help others to figure out things and make learning fun! I love to tutor in many science subjects like biology (cell biology, genetics, and molecular biology), chemistry (general chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry). I have also taken the MCAT, and I am willing to tutor in specific topics tested there as well (all the topics mentioned above, but also Physics, and psychology and sociology).

Arjun Reddy (he/him/his). Howdy! I graduated cum laude with a Bachelors in Neuroscience and Pre-Med. I am currently in graduate school pursuing my Master's. I tutored all types of students in Chemistry, Physics, and Math. I tutored privately in high-school mostly to middle-schoolers and other high schoolers in science and math. In college I tutored students through the university's tutoring center for three years before tutoring privately again in my last year. I've seen students who've never taken a course before to those who are coming back to school after working or serving in the military.While in high-school I realized I had a knack for explaining subjects and concepts in many different ways, often relating them to students in new analogies or different aspects. In this way I was able to communicate concepts, thoughts, and material more effectively. I've always been the type to help out other students in need and am often the person people reach out to for quick tips. The way I have advanced and polished this trait and the techniques I use over my college years as a tutor working for both the university as well as privately.I like to ask my students questions to see how much and what they know before diving into problems. When we do problems, I like to work a few out with a student and explain what I'm doing in each step and why. Then I slowly hand the reigns off to the student to work through the problems more and more independently while explaining back to me what they're doing. This way I know the student is learning the material properly and will be able to work without my help in the future. Of course this method can be adjusted to fit each students individual needs.I'm always excited when I see a student's eyes light up with the excitement of learning a new concept or finally being able to solve a problem they couldn't before. I like the challenge of hard questions and explaining hard concepts. I'm easy to reach and respond relatively quickly so don't hesitate to shoot me a line!

I am an undergraduate student at Boston University studying in the Seven Year Liberal Arts/Medical Education Program (BSMD). I was a National AP Scholar, US Presidential Scholar Nominee, and in the top 5% of my class. Additionally, I worked as an intern in a graduate-level biochemistry lab researching the metabolically reversed reduction of aldehydes to alcohols.I have 3 years of experience tutoring as an NHS Officer in a wide array of subjects. Additionally, I am experienced in the college applications process, including the drafting/editing of personal statements and school-specific essays.I believe that, with persistence and grit, students can develop an extremely solid foundation of learning that can aid them in tests and everyday life. I definitely stress practice problems and problem solving in my approach, however I am open and flexible to feedback and adjustment. As a tutor, I hope to aid students in attaining their full academic potential!Besides academics, I also enjoy spending time with friends, performing piano (especially classical and jazz), and composition.

When I was 4 years old, I used to paint a lot and one day my older sister noticed that I made a giant painting on the wall while writing the word "Hello" in English in the center of my drawing. The interesting part was that back then I could neither write in Persian (my first language) nor I had any education in English. Since then, I have felt inspired by arts and languages to the point that later, my professional and academic life have pivoted on the latter aspirations.I am currently a graduate teaching fellow at Boston University and I fully expect to complete my second Masters of Arts in French language and literature in May 2017. Looking back on my academic life, one might notice that the above aspirations intersected each other for a good cause.From the moment that I decided to pursue a French cursus for my Bachelors degree in Iran (in Alzahra University at Tehran), the idea of working in an international environment excited on me. Being so enthusiastic and curious about my major, I joined a group at school. Here, students used to gather weekly and discuss their opinions about the literature and history of France. After two years, I was the head of the group and decided to publish a monthly journal about the French language in the university. The journal entitled ACCACIA and was mainly about French literature and poetry. Being successful in designing and editing the journal, the French department professors suggested that I organize a workshop for translation of movies with French language; it went very well and we had a handful of students attending the workshop.After graduating from Alzahra University in 2008, I immersed myself in arts and in teaching methodology. In 2009, I enrolled in a 120 hours of training courses for Interior Design where I learned to work with Autocad and 3D-MAX. I also enrolled in teacher training courses (72 hours in total) during summer and winter of 2008-2009 in the Embassy of France in Iran, and I passed five successful courses (received certificates) which were so instructive and helpful and I gained first-hand knowledge about how to use immersive methods in a French course and how to use internet to animate a language class.After the training period, I started to work as a part-time teacher in reputable language institutes in Tehran and as a part-time draftsman in an architectural consulting company, Kermanshahan, where I was responsible for preparing 3D plans for presentations.Being enthusiastic about pursuing my academic studies in higher levels, I participated in entrance exam for Graduate schools in Iran and was admitted in Islamic Azad University at Tehran, being ranked two among more than 1000 applicants.After graduating from my first Masters degree in French language and literature, I started to work as a contractual interpreter/translator in MAPNA Group which is a conglomerate of practical solution providers to cater the demand for electricity, energy and rail transportation in Iran and African countries. My responsibilities were mostly consisted of 1) drafting and formatting communication and documents with Francophone clients 2) Assessment and participating in available bids with Francophone countries 3) preparing and translating required documents into French 3) Helping to host Francophone Clients and interpreting during meetings with Clients as well as their Ambassadors. 4) I was also responsible for preparing presentations and advertisements in French language that was meant to be presented to French clients. All of which helped me to meet my expectations in languages and also in creative and artistic fields.After two and a half years working as Contractual Interpreter in MAPNA Group I received an admission from Boston University to attend the Romance Languages graduate program. At BU, I was a French Teaching Assistant for four semesters.During my career life, I was attempting to stay close to French and Francophone environments while I was also active in cultural activities; from studying new teaching methodologies to designing posters for literary conferences, I was always active in using languages for social purposes and I know that this is not the end of a long journey of experiences that I gained through my studies in Arts and in Literature.

I want every student to be confident in their math proficiency. I have been a high school math teacher for 13 years working with students of many abilities.

I am a senior at Boston University. I will be receiving a B.S. in English Education with a minor in Arts Leadership. I also am a member of the Kilachand Honors College. I am expected to receive my teaching licensure for the state of Massachusetts within the next few months. In addition to being a Special Education Teaching Assistant and Writing Tutor, I am also the Artistic Director for the Off-Beat Players - a nonprofit theater company for young adults with disabilities. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and Writing/Reading. I am incredibly passionate about working with students to achieve their learning goals, and it is always heartwarming to see their hard work contribute towards their own success. I am a firm advocate for letting students guide their own learning - their own experiences, interests, and skills should drive their educational experience. In my spare time, I enjoy performing improv comedy, playing basketball, and playing "Catan".

My name is Amanda Geist and this past year I graduated from Boston University, Magna Cum Laude, with a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in Political Science. I am currently attending Columbia University to complete my Masters Degree in Human Rights Studies.I am extremely passionate about providing quality education to each of my students. I've worked as a tutor for several years across a range of subjects, specifically those of the humanities and social sciences. I plan to utilize my interpersonal communication skills to connect with my students and cater to their individual needs as learners!

I've been blessed to have amazing mentors throughout my career who got me to where I am today. I'd like to give back to the next generation as a way to say thank you to those who came before me.
