I am Rene; I think and rethink. When I was growing up in El Salvador I became highly inquisitive about the urban environment. Everyday I had to walk to school admiring the intimate relationships between houses, between people. Today, I am not too far from my childhood counterpart. I enjoy getting lost in new places. I like to walk down the unfamiliar street, find the beauty in the back alley, and notice the small little details that make every place special.Currently, I am a recent grad from Carnegie Mellon University in Architecture and Environmental Policy and I work as an affordable housing fellow for Design Center Pittsburgh. I moved to Miami, Fl around 10 years ago and lived there until I had to go to college. I'm into the sweet embrace of nature, Hispanic undertones, tunes that move bones, playfulness of words, getting lost, and urban gateways.

I am a freshman Computer Science major at Carnegie Mellon University. I have freelanced tutored in computer science for several years, as well as other math and science topics. I also have extensive formal training in writing center theory and tutoring, and have worked in a writing center as a tutor, focusing on both academic essays and college admissions essays. I enjoy helping students discover their passion for a subject and build the fundamental skills they need in order to continue individual success. My teaching philosophy is based on a student focused approach in order to asses and fix fundamentals integral to the subject area. I try to balance those long term goals with teaching problem solving techniques and exam strategies in order to increase short term achievement as well. Outside of being a computer science major, I am also a former camp counselor, an aspiring physics minor, and a dancer in CMU's co-ed Bollywood dance team, CMU Sahara.

My name is Zhaleh BassiriRad and I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering and Japanese at Carnegie Mellon University. I enjoy tutoring because I love sharing knowledge with others, especially in one-on-one sessions, or with a small group. Teaching others is a great way to expand understanding of how other students think and develop ideas, and it allows myself to see new ways to look at problems. While I'm not studying (or helping my friends study), I love to play music (piano, flute, guitar), take a walk through the forest preserve, draw, design/sew clothing, chat with friends, etc. I look forward to contributing to students' learning endeavors!

I'm a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University. I received my B.S. in Biological Sciences with a minor in Biomedical Engineering.

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.

1540 SAT scorer with 2+ years tutoring math & test prep. I make concepts click, not just stick - because real understanding beats memorization every time.

I am an avid programmer,math enthusiast and love doing Salsa dancing. I enjoy helping students learn math and encourage them to develop a passion for math and science

In today's world of technology and computing, it is important to be able to think flexibly and conceptually. I have taught from the elementary level to the graduate level. At all stages of learning, being able to understand a concept is more important than being able to do a concept.I am a graduate from the University of Rochester where I majored in Economics. I had an emphasis on social choice theory and game theory as well as econometric analysis. Here, I understood the importance of conceptual thinking- where understanding the numbers and equations are not as important as understanding the meaning.I am currently a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University majoring in flute performance. Previously, I did my bachelor's degree at the Eastman School of Music. Here, I learned the importance of daily practice and commitment to the fundamentals for personal growth. I also learned that any skill (including testing) can be mastered with enough practice.

I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. I was a national topper in Physics at High School level, and am an expert in STEM subjects, including Math, Chemistry and Physics. I worked in the telecommunications industry for 30 years and am now retired. I have also taught math and science subjects at the college-level in New Jersey. I am focused on tutoring high school and middle school students in Maths, Chemistry and Physics, ACT/SAT Test Prep at all levels in High School.

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 recently graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a double major in Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering. I am currently working at a start up company in Pittsburgh. I am passionate about learning, regardless of the field, and I strive to do my very best at everything I do.

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 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 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 am a dedicated STEM educator with over 3 years of tutoring experience and a track record of academic performance, including perfect 800 scores on the SAT Math and 5s on AP Calculus AB/BC, Physics 1, and Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism. I am happy to break down a concept as many times as needed different angles and logic until it finally "clicks." My objective is to give you an roadmap so you can approach any problem with focus and clarity.

I enjoy working one on one with students to increase their understanding, learning and confidence. I like to use different methods of teaching, depending on the individual and their strengths. I am an advocate for determination, organization, and hard work in approaching learning and achieving success in school.

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.

Throughout my education, I always excelled at test taking and standardized exams (SAT/SAT subject tests, AP exams, competition math). I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Bachelor's of Science in Chemical Engineering and went on to work in scientific computing. I want to utilize my spare time during this difficult period to pass on my experience to students looking to improve themselves, whether it be training them to become experts in the topics they're struggling with or helping them transition their understanding into exam results. I mainly tutor math (algebra, geometry, precalc, trig, calculus), though I can also tutor students for the SAT. I believe the best way to learn math is to build a strong foundation in basics supported by visual and proof-based understanding, and aim to help each individual student find their best way to understand a topic.

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'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.

Its a pleasure to be working with students and a true joy to watch them succeed.I have worked in the Software development industry, I'm often learning up new programming languages.
