Award-Winning Tutors from Carnegie Mellon University

I am an experienced teacher with two Bachelor's degrees, a Master's degree, and completed Ph.D coursework. I have approximately seven years of teaching experience, and I hold an English certification. I have a passion for all the material I teach, and that allows me to meet my students' learning needs. Even more importantly, I am creative. Sometimes teaching is all about packaging the ideas differently.What I value most in the learning experience is when students become confident and independent in their own learning. My job as a teacher is to give them those tools. I am a lifelong learner myself, and I greatly value what my students teach me. Their insights and the ways they learn help me to grow as an instructor.I have experience teaching the following subjects: American Literature, British Literature, Compositionand Rhetoric, proofreading, and editing.Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have. Have a wonderful week!

Hi! My name is Ryan; I am a recently graduated Mechanical Engineering major from Carnegie Mellon University. I tutored for three years before starting with Varsity, and I can't wait to help you!

I am currently working towards my Masters of Arts degree in Literary and Cultural Studies at Carnegie Mellon University. Some of my current interests are postcolonial studies, literary journalism, and memoir writing. Before attending Carnegie Mellon University, I graduated from Allegheny College where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. At Allegheny College I primarily focused on Gothic and Victorian literature, postcolonial theory, representations of animals and the environment in literature, and poetry composition. In addition to my educational experience at Allegheny College, I also had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with one of my professors on a co-authored paper titled "Shakespeare's Starlings" which will be available in this November's edition of "Environmental Humanities"! I tutor literature-related subjects ranging from High School English to College Essay Writing, as I am most passionate about this wonderful field, and eager to use my academic experiences to help students connect and engage with meaningful texts in a more enriching manner than is typically fostered by a traditional classroom setting, where ample time to discuss the richness of cultural works is so often cut short. Additionally, I love helping students develop thoughtful and original analyses of various literary works, because working through analytical and cultural problems improves critical thinking skills, encourages creativity, and promotes the ability to communicate effectively both verbally, and in a written format. Finally, I am deeply committed to helping students in any field excel at essay writing! I absolutely love editing papers, and I take a very hands-on approach in doing so by encouraging students to read their papers aloud with me in order to mutually identify and discuss any grammatical or logistical errors. It is very important to me that students leave a tutoring session understanding why they are correcting errors, not just how to, so that they fully grasp how to preemptively identify similar problems in future papers that they compose. I have seen considerable success using this technique, and most people I've worked with have advanced their writing by two letter grades after working with me three to four times. While I am most passionate about tutoring students working on essays in the fields of English and Literature, I have written in a wide variety of styles including: book reviews, computer science write-ups, data stories, literary journalism pieces, historiographical essays, memoir pieces, research proposals, personal statements, poetry, philosophy essays, satire, science reports, and more! Essay writing can be fun, engaging, and rewarding when approached in the right way, and I strive to bring the enthusiasm and love I have for this essential skill to every tutoring session I conduct.

I am currently studying at Carnegie Mellon University and I am pursuing a Bachelor's degree in economics.In the past, I have had experience tutoring my classmates in a variety of subjects, ranging from algebra to government and physics. I also work well with test prep, and I am well-equipped to help students ace their standardized assessments.I understand how frustrating it can be to be stuck on a problem or method and not know where to go. It can be easy to lose interest and give up when you hit a wall, but I believe that making a subject interesting and relevant to your own personal hobbies can motivate you to succeed. I will tailor your tutoring experience to your personal needs, whether you need engagement or clarity. I will be sure to assist and focus on areas of improvement instead of just giving answers so that you will learn to learn.

My goal is to try to help others that need help so that they do not have to do everything by themselves.

I graduated from Franklin and Marshall College in May of 2018. I majored in Astrophysics with a Chinese minor. I decided to take two years off and work at a non profit aimed to help underrepresented students get access to opportunities and resources not readily available in their community. There I had a once in a lifetime opportunity to contribute and give back to the Lancaster community by creating my own 12-week engineering and coding course for the scholars in the program. These experiences inspired me to continue my education and attain my Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. I love tutoring and mentoring because it provides me with the opportunity to pay it forward and support the next generation of leaders. Learning is an amazing experience but everyone is different, and as a teacher it is my role to cater to your learning style to show that nothing is too hard to master.

My personal philosophy on teaching and learning is founded around my cumulative experiences as a student, instructor, mentor and researcher. Having been an active participant from both sides of the classroom, in university settings, I know that successful learning is synonymous with long term retention, which in-turn facilitates the ability to apply knowledge and think laterally when the opportune moment presents itself in the real-world. To truly learn is to discover knowledge through experience and lots of practice which invokes the confidence to overcome challenges while simultaneously lifting inhibitions in regard to tackling new problems. To facilitate such an experience within a classroom environment is especially possible in subjects like mathematics and the physical sciences, by facilitating a working knowledge of contemporary issues in the science through articulation of real-world examples and providing opportunity for hands-on problem solving through exercises. Scientists, leaders and instructors effectively teach when they simultaneously impart information and nurture an environment that offers students the opportunity to discover a new subject while maintaining a channel for continuous closed-loop feedback, to ensure that the pace of subject-matter delivery and the student-specific rate of retention are in step. My teaching style is a literal embodiment of the above statements.

I believe fully in the philosophy of lifelong learning, and I plan to be a lifelong learner. For ten years, I have enjoyed tutoring others in my areas of strength, not only to help with content mastery, but also to help others enjoy becoming lifelong learners themselves. I have just graduated with my Master's degree in viola performance from Carnegie Mellon University, having earned a Bachelor's degree from Western Michigan University.I am a musician by training, but I enjoy seeking knowledge in all subjects, and sharing that knowledge with anybody who will listen. In particular, I love to tutor writing, because the tutoring process encompasses both the "strict" rules of written grammar and the "open-ended" rules of content organization. To learn to write, a student must learn to express ideas, and in this setting, tutors and students can truly get to know each other.The most effective learning comes after we make learning enjoyable. That takes effort from both the teacher and the student. The teacher should come to the table with a good method and the creativity to break from the method from time to time. The student should come with an open mind, a little bit of patience, and curiosity about at least one thing - even if it is not directly related to the lesson. Some of the best learning moments can start out as light conversations!

As a passionate tutor currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Biology at Carnegie Mellon University, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment for my students. With over 2 years of tutoring experience in subjects such as Algebra, AP Pre-Calculus, and Middle School Science, I employ a hands-on, engaging approach that connects theoretical concepts to real-world applications. My goal is to inspire students to develop a love for learning and to build their confidence in mathematics and science. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my two dogs, which helps me bring a relatable and approachable perspective to my teaching. I am committed to helping each student achieve their academic goals while discovering their unique strengths.

I am currently an undergraduate studying Statistics and Machine Learning + Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. At CMU, I am an undergraduate research assistant for the AI for Intelligent Tutoring Systems Team, and I am a teaching assistant for Fundamentals of Programming. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to tackle challenging concepts. I believe in using real-world applications to make math relatable and engaging, which helps my students build confidence and achieve academic success. I am passionate about tutoring because I enjoy seeing students overcome obstacles and progress over time, while developing a love for the subject. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy tennis, playing violin in an orchestra, and delving into literary classics.

I was once in the same shoes of many Varsity Tutors' students. I was struggling to learn my subjects and preparing for the SAT standardized test. I came from a rural high school (DuBois, PA) with no AP classes as well as no Honors classes. I was projected that engineering would be too difficult for me and that I should pursue something less rigorous. I ended up graduating with a Honors degree in chemical engineering and a minor in mathematics from the Pennsylvania State University. I then received a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University doing all of my research work with Sandia National Laboratories. I achieved these goals by setting high expectations for myself and striving every day to meet these expectations. I am a tutor that predominantly focuses on STEM and Business subjects from high school through graduate school as well as standardized tests. I really do not have a favorite subject here. I just enjoy teaching students who desire to learn and improve themselves. When I was an undergraduate student as well as a teaching assistant in graduate school teaching first semester students, I could take a person the night before the exam that had no clue of what was going on in class and help them achieve a B on the exam the next day. Standardized tests such as the SAT/ACT exam comprise various courses in high school and I cannot teach someone everything they need to know in one night or if a person is weeks behind in the understanding of the course material. Whether it is a standardized test or learning another subject; an assessment must be determined of where the student is currently in their understanding of the material. Next a game plan must be put together to get the student from where they are currently at to where they want to go. The fact of the matter is unless a student has always struggled in mathematics since kindergarten, they can achieve a perfect or near perfect score on the SAT/ACT mathematics section. The only traits that are required are a high level of expectations as well as the desire and effort to achieve those expectations. When it comes to solving problems, I will always ask the student on how they would solve a particular problem. Their answers can range that they definitely know how to solve it to they have absolutely no idea. I would then guide them along through each problem with the goal to have them understand a correct approach needed and to instill in the student a better understanding of the material as time goes along. As far as more information about myself, I am a person that enjoys learning and growing in all pursuits and my favorite hobby is working out and lifting weights at my local Planet Fitness. Additional Information: I am a STEM based tutor for Varsity Tutors in which I tutor everything from entry level to advanced subjects in Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, all Engineering disciplines, and MBA courses. I am continuously adding both courses in an individual field as well as fields themselves to tutor. I tutor from 6th grade to graduate school as well as students with mental disabilities. I help students from inner city schools to the top boarding schools in the US to state public universities as well as the ivy league. I work with students at international universities along with international students in the US as well as adults going back to school.

Hello all! As a current Supply Technical Assistant with Ford Motor Company, I am looking for opportunities to share problem solving experience with passionate students looking to overcome hurdles in math and science. In addition, as a recent graduate, I would like to help students picking and applying to colleges improve their SAT scores and maximize their chance for future success.I look forward to working with you!

I gained the majority of my tutoring experience from working as a high school science teacher for a prestigious independent school in Chicago. With our small class sizes, I gave lots of one-on-one attention to students both during and after class. Though I decided a teaching career is not for me, I miss the one-on-one interactions I had with students and helping them with their individual needs. I learned that patience, attention, and time will get almost any student anywhere they may want to go academically. While some students may not receive the accolades they desire to obtain, if a student begins to appreciate the path and process of learning by itself, they will find they are rarely disappointed with their academic results.Although my degrees are in Chemistry, I really enjoy tutoring physics and statistics. Those two subjects are notorious for producing a fair amount of anxiety in students, so I relish in showing how manageable physics and statistics can be for anyone. I help students learn how to overcome their anxieties by guiding them to become better problem solvers. The problem solving skills they will develop under my tutelage will be useful not only in those subjects but carry over to other academic subjects and life in general.My academic background includes graduating from Loyola University Chicago with a BA in Chemistry and Physics minor. I received a MS in Chemistry from Carnegie Mellon University specializing in Theoretical/Physical Chemistry. I will be starting a Master’s program in the fall for Data Science at IIT. During that time, I will continue to tutor. When I am not "nerding" out on programming and science, I relax over video games, board games with friends, and playing the piano.

I am currently a student at Carnegie Mellon University studying Physics and Engineering. I have a strong interest in aerospace engineering and fluid dynamics.I am very good at any math or science field, as they were always my favorite in high school. I am very knowledgeable on the subjects since I am taking rigorous technical courses at CMU.I was the Valedictorian at my high school and know how to help you succeed in school as well. I am a hands-on type of learner, meaning that I learn by actually doing examples and understanding physically how the theory works.

I'm currently a sophomore at Carnegie Mellon University.I enjoy working with kids and helping them work through problems they struggle with on their own, teaching them to solve problems by concept, not on an individual basis. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and playing video games.

As a cybersecurity expert with a Master's degree in Information Security from Carnegie Mellon University, I have over two years of experience teaching and tutoring, including cybersecurity boot camps at Northwestern University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My passion for teaching stems from the joy of making complex concepts intuitive for my students; I often use relatable analogies, like comparing electricity to water flow, to facilitate understanding. I believe in a hands-on, student-centered approach that encourages curiosity and engagement. Beyond my professional life, I enjoy tinkering with electronics and have even taught automotive repair to others, reflecting my belief that learning can be both practical and enjoyable. My goal is to empower all learners to achieve their academic and professional aspirations in cybersecurity and computer science.

Hello! I've been tutoring one-on-one for two years now, and I love to help others learn. My focus is on identifying problem areas so that I can help you grow the most efficiently. Whether you need help with homework, learning new material, or exam prep, I'm eager to help you out. My favorite subjects to tutor include ACT prep, all levels of math, and programming. I look forward to working with you, so don't hesitate to reach out!

Hi,I am a rising Sophomore studying Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. I graduated at James E. Taylor High School as rank 7 out of over 600 students and swam for my high school swim team for 4 years. Currently, I'd say I'm most experienced in math and science and above average in English and would feel most comfortable teaching any of these subjects. I'm welcome to any other subjects and will try to provide the best tutoring services for you.Thank you

I'm a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, and I currently live in Brooklyn.I'm originally from a small town in Pennsylvania called South Williamsport, which is not particularly notable except for anything but lumber and the Little League World Series. My baseball (and all sports) career was mercifully short, and I became super interested in theater, graduating college with a degree in direction.Since I could first crack open a book and try to read, I've been an avid fan of learning - about things I never knew, about places I've only dreamed of visiting, and about people different from myself. I believe that we never stop learning and that our minds are in need of constant sharpening. However, I'm also a firm believer in fun, and I hope to combine entertainment with enlightenment always.

I am a PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering. I recently completed my bachelors also at Carnegie Mellon University in Electrical and Computer Engineering as well as Human Computer Interaction. Over the last several years, I have experience teaching a wide variety of students ranging from elementary school math, introduction to programming for children, as well as college level classes. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math, Physics, and Computer Science. I really enjoy teaching programming, especially in fun and engaging ways. I like to relate what I teach to things my students are passionate about, or teach them through fun activities and games, so that they are easier to understand. I also help students prepare for standardized tests and have several strategies that I can share, especially for the math section of the tests. In my spare time, I enjoy dancing, music, hiking and anything outdoors!

Education and Scores: I am a 2019 graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where I received a dual degree BFA in Vocal Performance and BA in Creative Writing. I also achieved a GPA of 3.92, 3 semesters on the Dean's List, induction into Phi Beta Kappa as well as Sigma Tau Delta (the English honors society) and Pi Kappa Lambda (the Music honors society), Carnegie Mellon University Honors, and Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences Honors. I graduated Bloomfield Hills High School with a 3.96 GPA in 2015, and was a National Merit Finalist as well as a Presidential Scholarship candidate, thanks to my top test scores.Interests: I am a book nerd and a music geek! Along with my coursework, I do a lot of singing, acting, writing, and reading. At school, I am the president of my improv comedy troupe, I write sketch comedy, I enjoy directing musicals and plays, I am an active member of a sorority, I write for my school newspaper, and I am the vice president of Sigma Tau Delta, the English honors society. I am very active in my student theatre group, of which I was previously Artistic Director, and I write for an online singer's magazine, Modern Singer Magazine.Tutoring Experience: I have 3 years of experience tutoring ages 9-16. My last two years of high school, I volunteer tutored middle school students for my chapter of the National Honors Society in math, reading, social studies, Spanish, and science. Two summers ago, I ran my own tutoring business, where I tutored math through Algebra II (helping a student through her online class), ACT/SAT prep for a rising 9th grader, reading comprehension and writing skills for a rising 5th grader, Geometry (with the hopes of skipping 8th grade math) for a rising 8th grader, and homework help for a variety of students. I very much enjoy working with students of all ages and trying to find new ways to explain concepts that make sense. My brain often works well with memory tricks and easy-to-remember steps to using a concept, so I am accustomed to finding ways to break down lessons in ways that make learning simpler. I believe that all learning is possible with a little bit of legwork, and I want to help students learn how to do that legwork.

I'm a graduate student studying physics. I enjoy teaching physics and math because they are subjects I love, and I want to pass on that excitement to others!I have a bachelors degree in physics with a minor in math from Bowdoin College, and a masters degree in physics from Carnegie Mellon University.

I am a second-year student at Carnegie Mellon University, majoring in Chemistry with a focus on pursuing a career in pharmacy. My academic path reflects my strong foundation in math and science, and I am equally confident in helping students with reading and writing. I have valuable experience mentoring and tutoring elementary and middle school students, where I have developed a teaching approach that is patient, supportive, and tailored to each student's unique needs. My passion for tutoring comes from the joy of helping students overcome challenges and build their confidence in learning. I believe that a solid educational foundation is key to achieving personal and academic success, and I strive to make every session engaging and impactful. In my spare time, I enjoy staying active by going to the gym and running track, as well as expressing my creativity through drawing. These hobbies keep me balanced and energized, qualities I bring to my tutoring sessions to inspire and motivate students.

I attended Carnegie Mellon University with a focus on Acting and Medieval Literature. I grew up in a family of teachers, and I spent my years in high school and in college working as a peer tutor. While at university, I also served as a part-time English teacher at two elementary schools in inner city Pittsburgh. Since college, I have lived and worked as a tutor in New York, Los Angeles, and Barcelona. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, History, Math, and the SAT. I am fascinated by the SAT. I love teaching struggling test takers how to view the SAT as an approachable, accessible set of riddles and games instead of as an intellectual brick wall. I firmly believe that the majority of people can find great joy in academics once they discover the individual approach that works for them. I see it as my job to help them find that path. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, running, travel, and reading. I am also a section editor for the Los Angeles Review of Books and the literary manager for two theater companies based in New York and Los Angeles.

I am a rising junior at Carnegie Mellon University studying Mechanical Engineering and Robotics, and I am passionate about helping students build confidence in STEM subjects, standardized testing, and college admissions. My teaching philosophy focuses on understanding concepts rather than memorizing formulas. I believe every student learns differently, so I adapt my teaching style to fit each student's needs and create an environment where questions feel encouraged. Through my experience tutoring, teaching robotics, and coaching students academically, I have learned how to break difficult topics into simple, manageable steps. What makes me a strong tutor is not only my technical background, but also my patience, communication skills, and genuine investment in student success. My goal is always to help students become more confident, independent learners who feel capable of overcoming academic challenges.

I am a senior Mechanical Engineering major at Carnegie Mellon University. In high school, I scored very highly on the SAT Math section and Math II subject test. I also excelled in Calculus 1 and 2 during my freshman year at CMU. I have previous experience in tutoring from teaching introductory Algebra to a class of 30 students entering high school. Due to a busy semester, I am unavailable during the week for in-person tutoring sessions, but I can make time during the weekend to schedule consistent meetings.Relevant subjects that I feel comfortable tutoring in:Algebra 1Algebra 2Pre-CalculusTrigonometryAP Calculus ABCalculus 1SAT MathSAT Math Level II Subject Test

As a dedicated tutor pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, I am passionate about empowering students to excel in subjects like AP Calculus BC, AP Computer Science A, and AP Physics C: Mechanics. I also am looking forward to teaching various electrical engineering and computing concepts. With over 2 years of tutoring experience, I focus on creating a supportive learning environment where students can build confidence and develop critical thinking skills. I hope that I can create an environment where learning is fulfilling and isn't done as a means to get a good grade for a class, but rather to build a rich mental model of the world. I love answer questions, exploring ideas, and creating real world connections from what students are learning to where it is applied. I hope to use my wide range of experience in the arts, sports, and engineering, to answer a plethora of question and never shy away from any question!

I am passionate about helping students gain confidence in reading comprehension, writing, history, elementary/middle school math and governance subjects. I believe in a patient approach to learning where student needs are the priority, and working on advance step by step through their educational goals is important for long term growth.

I graduated the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Politics & Philosophy, and I moved to Cleveland to teach. I've spent the last three years in classrooms with the last year dedicated to subbing and working with different types of students and in different subjects. Most of my experience comes in teaching Reading and Writing, and I have helped students of all ages improve both their real life skills in those subject areas and their test scores. I have also tutored kids who did not speak English to help them increase their speaking and writing skills. I can tutor math up to Algebra II, and I have experience teaching math in the classroom. Lastly, I can tutor in the Social Sciences, particularly AP Government and AP US History, as I majored in those subjects in college.I really enjoy tutoring test prep subjects, because the time spent applying for college is so exciting and stressful. It is very easy to create a goal and work toward it when a student already has their sights set on a particular college, and I love being a part of that process. I like to think of myself as a goal-oriented tutor, helping my client pick out the thing that he or she wants by the end of our sessions and driving toward it. I also believe in meeting my client where they are in their subject matter and helping them learn in their particular individual style. It does not matter how my client learns, whether it is verbal or visual or even kinesthetic--I try to accommodate and ensure that they know the material the way they will remember it best.Aside from teaching, my interests include music and cooking. I grew up listening to punk rock, and in the process, I learned to play guitar and drums. At this point though, I listen to just about everything including hip-hop, electronic music, country, and pop. I also enjoy cooking and learning to make cuisines from other cultures. Lately, I have been trying to master Lebanese food. Lastly, I like to travel. I have been all over the USA and Western Europe, and I have even made it to the Middle East.

I've been in the American public school system in New Jersey since kindergarten so I know how it works. I have taken AP exams myself when I was in high school, therefore, I can share effective and realistic test-taking tricks that actually work. I'm also a Carnegie Mellon University chemical and biomedical engineering graduate, working in neurotechnology research! I try to approach students as a peer rather than a teacher. I understand how frustrating it is to struggle in certain classes and so I believe that it is important to commend effort and encourage tenacity. I try to consistently engage my students, and make sure they don't feel uncomfortable asking questions. If a student isn't understanding a topic, I will adjust my speed of teaching and consistently check in on what parts they do understand as I reroute until a student can walk away confident. I adapt to methods and language used by the teacher to make sure understanding carries into school.

I am passionate about lifting up the next generation of business leaders. I had amazing tutors when I was in college and business school and I am ready to pay it forward.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2016. Since then, I have been a process engineer at a major oil and gas company in the Houston, TX area. As a chemical engineer, I have extensive experience with developing heat/material balances, troubleshooting and optimizing heat and mass transfer equipment, and using process simulation software.Outside of chemical engineering-specific areas, I am able to tutor in most math, chemistry, and physics subjects at levels from middle school through college. I can also provide tutoring in some SAT and SAT 2 subject tests. My favorite subject to tutor is math. I have loved math for as long as I can remember. To me, solving a math problem is like solving any other problem in life - you combine the information you are given, assumptions you can make, and your expertise and prior knowledge to derive a conclusion. I appreciate being able to help students develop these types problem solving skills through math because of how applicable they are to non-math scenarios.

I received my Masters in Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2011 and I have been tutoring students of various levels for over 10 years. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Mathematics, Programming and the Sciences.

Hi, I am Cassie Bishop, and for seven years, I have been dedicated to helping students of different age groups (from middle school to college) in mostly math and science. As someone driven to become a professor, I love to teach and have a great passion for sharing my knowledge with others! I am most passionate about math and hard sciences, such as biology, chemistry, and physics and have most experience tutoring middle school, high school, and college students. My mission is to develop students' problem-solving skills so that they can get to the answers on their own to not only improve their homework scores but also help on quizzes and tests through better knowledge of the material. I hope to be able to help you with all of your tutoring needs and to promote student success!

I recently graduated from CMU with a degree in material science engineering and biomedical engineering and am preparing for dental school while looking to earn extra income through tutoring. My tutoring journey began at age 14 when I worked at Kumon, and it continued as I helped my cousins across different subjects. Having also received tutoring myself, I believe the best way to learn is by making mistakes and then working through them. A typical lesson plan with me involves answering school questions, reviewing homework problems, and assigning practice problems for students to solve independently that we later go over together. If this approach isn't what a student needs, I am flexible and open to adapting my methods. My goal is to support each student in the way that best fits their learning style and academic goals.

I'm a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University. I received my B.S. in Biological Sciences with a minor in Biomedical Engineering. Personally, I like tutoring STEM subjects such as math, biology, and chemistry the most. I love seeing my students gain confidence in their subject areas and grow over time. Outside of academia, I enjoy cooking, exercising, reading, and spending time with my dog.

I am currently graduating from School for Advanced Studies high school and Miami Dade College with my Associates in Art both simultaneously. I am going to continue my education at Carnegie Mellon University. I tutor my peers and anyone that needs help in my family. I have a pretty wide range of what I can teach because of all the different people that need help. I am also able to teach in different ways to make sure that the student understands and masters the materials given. I tutor in all types of math and am flexible with the type of math students need help with. On my free time I play the French Horn with my school band and hang out with family and friends.

I am a first-year student pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University. My tutoring experience has mainly revolved around teaching second-graders reading and arithmetic, but I have some experience with higher-level subjects as well. I tutor mathematics ranging from elementary-school math to calculus, physics, and chemistry. My favorite subject to tutor is algebra because I have found that students are most satisfied with their progress in this subject. I am a very hands-on tutor, as I like the student to try as many problems as possible. However, I can adapt to meet the needs of the student. Outside of academia, I play tennis and ski, and enjoy watching sports and playing video games.

I received my BFA in Design and Production from Carnegie Mellon University and my Masters of Elementary Education from Vanderbilt University. I currently work as a teacher in an Early Childhood Education School that is inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy and enriches learning in the natural world.When it comes to teaching, I work to be an educator that is responsive to the needs of students, weaves student interest into academics, and creates learning environments that encourage curiosity. I am passionate about connecting with students as individuals to create a strong foundation for our learning experiences.My approach to teaching all subjects is highly adaptable to the needs of the students and their personal contexts for learning. I approach literacy with focus on the foundational phonics skills and mechanics as well as engaging in rich and relevant texts. In math, I focus on building concrete representations of the problems and building up into those more challenging symbolic representations. I work to bring games, arts integration, and brain breaks into all learning to foster a positive environment and create deep connections to the material.

I am a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University with a Master's of Entertainment Technology. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but my focus areas are Computer Science, Game Development, creative writing, and both SAT and ACT test prep. I think students are at their best when they embrace both their technical and creative sides, and I want to guide students in how to achieve that for themselves. Outside of tutoring, I create games in my free time, as well as write.
