I am an undergraduate student at Columbia University pursuing a bachelor's degree in history and literature. I tutor a wide variety of subjectsall things related to literacy and social studies; Standardized Tests; Latin; AP subjects; and basic math. In high school, I won two national awards for writing and attended many writing workshops and peer review sessions; I've since helped many of my friends develop their writing skills. I've taught middle school students clarinet and struggle and adapt to learning the fundamentals of rhythm, sight-reading, and expression. I'm passionate about teaching because I think that teaching students difficult material expands their mindsets as well as their skill sets. I believe that it is possible to learn anything given practice and an openness to ask questions, so learning new things is fundamentally an exercise in inquisitiveness and willingness to accept new challenges.

I hold a PhD in Mathematics and a certification in teaching. I tutor all subjects including algebra, SAT prep, advanced math, and chemistry. My approach is patient and step-by-step, explaining why methods work and helping students think through problems clearly. I adapt lessons to each student's level and goals. For SAT prep, I combine content with test strategies to improve accuracy and confidence. My goal is to help students become more independent and confident all subjects.

I am passionate about helping students reach their highest potential. I am a mental health provider by day; I take an empathetic and understanding approach to teaching, similar to my approach to psychotherapy. I have a strong background in the psychological and other social sciences, english literature, academic writing, and history. I strongly believe every student can excel with the right guidance and a helping hand! When I'm not tutoring, you'll find me playing with my dog, Nellie or listening to live music. Let's work together to reach your academic goals!

A lifelong learner with multiple master's degrees and an undergraduate degree from Ivy League institutions, I bring my passion for learning to every conversation. I have tutoring experience in subjects such as AP U.S. Government and Politics, AP U.S. History, and college-level Political Science. I also have a professional background in data analytics, financial modeling, and statistical analysis, and can provide tutoring in any of those subjects. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to explore complex concepts and develop critical thinking skills. I prioritize connecting with students through engaging discussions and real-world applications, helping them see the relevance of what they are learning. I am motivated by witnessing their academic growth and confidence, and I enjoy incorporating technology and innovative approaches into my lessons.

Hello! I'm Kate and I am a rising senior at Columbia University earning my B.A. in English. Before studying English at Columbia, I earned my Bachelors of Music in cello performance while being a pre-med/aspiring engineering student. I am offering tutoring in group/individual reading comprehension, critical reading at all levels, individual essay support, group writing workshops, GRE verbal coaching, middle-school math, algebra, precalculus and calculus. *** As a math tutor: I love teaching math because I love elucidating math concepts and logic. In fact I really think math is more related to language/reasoning skills as opposed to what is commonly perceived as "STEM skills." (I don't believe STEM and humanities are as separated as people seem to think). One of my chemistry professors used to tell us that when you are capable of explaining the concepts to yourself (i.e. teach yourself), that's when you really understand something. This is the skill I aim to give my math students. I want to guide them to deeply understand math problems/concepts by being able to explain concepts to themselves. Establishing deep understanding is the only way to start building the confidence to tackle any problem at hand instead of arbitrarily applying formulas. *** As a literature/critical reading tutor: As a student of literature and a creative writer, I love nothing more than leading workshops and inspiring discussion about books. Some of my favorite books include Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, Charlotte Bronte's Villette, Elena Ferrante's Neopolitan Quartets, and Tayeb Salih's Season of Migration to the North. I believe that books are a perfect medium to train students (and all human-beings) to sit with uncertainty and grapple with complexities, whether that is through understanding individual perspectives or contradictory tensions in novels. The critical creativity required in reading and writing both academically and creatively is the key skill I aim to provide as a tutor. In addition to helping students achieve excellent understanding for school assignments and exams, my ultimate goal is to inspire students to extend their appreciation for the power of words beyond the classroom: to use writing as a powerful tool for self-exploration and social involvement, and reading as a means to deepen our understanding both within ourselves and society as a collective. *** As a writing tutor: I am obsessed with good writing and effective communication. As an English major at Columbia, I am constantly writing and editing essays. Critically revising and refining essays (my own and others) is essentially my full-time job. As a writing instructor, my goal is always to help the writer find the right words to express his/her thought most effectively (i.e. how to make it as clear as possible to the reader), thus I often work with structure, complex arguments, rhetoric on a sentence level, and so on. More importantly, however, critical self-editing skills is the crucial skill I hope to impart. (No good writer is without critical self-editing skills.) One example of a self-editing technique is looking at your own essay and writing out the main idea of each paragraph: if it contains more than one main idea, you may need to consider separating them into two paragraphs for readerly clarity. This may sound simple, but in practice it can get extremely knotty, which is how I can help. Additionally, I am a published author and will absolutely love to work with creative writers. *** More general teaching philosophies Previously, I have taught music theory and given private piano and cello lessons to students of all ages. Being a music teacher has taught me the vital importance of making the classroom a collaborative space, given that musical techniques and concepts present individualized challenges to students that cannot be overcome without finding creative ways of modifying approaches based on students' unique learning profile. Additionally, I believe that the psychology of learning plays a vital role in an effective transfer of knowledge, and aim to create a collaborative space where the student is engaged, ready to be challenged, but comfortable asking questions and seeking help when struggling. (Especially in math, the fear of the subject is 70% of the battle. This is coming from personal experience)

I am eager to support students in their academic journeys through Varsity Tutors. With a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and History from Columbia University, I specialize in subjects such as AP English Language and Composition, AP US History, AP World History, Research Skills, Math, Reading, Writing, Essay Editing and GRE preparation. My experience includes mentoring students at Gonzaga College High School, tutoring students at Columbia University and coordinating academic programs at Howard University, where I honed my ability to simplify complex concepts into clear, engaging lessons. I believe in a student-centered approach that emphasizes individual needs, goal setting, and active feedback, fostering ownership of the learning process. My passion for teaching stems from a desire to help students build confidence and connect their studies to the real world, making learning both meaningful and enjoyable. I look forward to inspiring a love for knowledge in my students!

As a Master of Science student in Marketing Science at Columbia Business School and a Bachelor's in Management graduate from the London School of Economics, I bring both academic rigor and real-world insight to my tutoring. With two years of professional marketing experience, I love connecting textbook concepts to practical examples that make subjects like Marketing, the GMAT, Statistics, Economics, and Algebra truly click for students. My approach is all about creating a supportive space where you feel comfortable asking questions and tackling challenging material. I focus on helping you understand the 'why' behind concepts, not just memorizing formulas, so you can build genuine confidence and critical thinking skills. There's nothing more rewarding to me than seeing students have those breakthrough moments and watching their confidence grow as we work together toward their academic goals.

I really enjoy the process of explaining and teaching concepts to others and have helped many students raise their grades by more than 10 percent. Having scored a 36 on the ACT and a 163/170 on the GRE I am very willing to tutor many subjects.

I am a Bellingham MA Public High School graduate, where I was a French tutor for levels 2 through 5 Honors and Standard, as well as AP French, and led peer tutoring initiatives as an NHS officer, supporting classmates in AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Calculus, and PLTW. I am studying Biology and Neuroscience on the pre-med track at Columbia University, where I continue to nurture my passion for helping students succeed. My involvement in three research teams, including one on molecular biology that received international publication, has sharpened my ability to explain complex scientific concepts clearly. While I tutor various subjects, I find the greatest joy in teaching French and the sciences, aspects of foreign language studies joined with the complexity of STEM, being part of the rewarding moments when students grasp challenging ideas. Education is a powerful tool for personal growth, striving to create an environment that fosters confidence and curiosity.

Hello! I'm a trained educator and bilingual English/French speaker who's passionate about learning and teaching foreign languages. I've lived and traveled around the world and taught students of all ages both privately and in the classroom.

I am dedicated to helping students achieve their academic goals and build confidence in their abilities. Outside of tutoring, as a professional, I work in data analysis/coding, nonprofits, and healthcare consulting, which further enrich my teaching approach.

I'm passionate about helping students in various stages of their educational path, by collaborating to understand learning styles and developing study techniques that improve information retention. Sometimes the best approach to learning is figuring out the explanation of a concept that finally makes it click, which takes patience and flexibility. I look forward to working with students to clarify concepts and get them out of a rut when working through difficult subjects. Despite graduating from high school in 2018, I still remember how difficult it was to get through the AP classes, the AP exams, and the standardized testing. My journey in college was filled with pre-med classes and humanities major work, so I also understand the need to balance different disciplines and develop proficiency across a variety of subjects. I hope to help build confidence and skills in various subject areas from SAT/ACT testing to math, science, and English/writing.

I am a creative whose ingenuity and nuanced insight is devoted to investigating the art of both expression and design. A professional with work experiences spanning scientific research, writing instruction/tutoring, and design in the field of technology, I have not only been able to witness the instrument of writing come into play distinctly for each specialty, but also realized exactly how to help the modern student tackling the ACT, SAT, and college admissions season in all of today's digital chaos. Hire me for a timeless, yet keen mentor who is dedicated to not only helping you get your foot in the door of your dream program(s) and school(s), but inspiring you to gain the type of confidence and understanding that will ultimately help propel you towards success in any and all of your future endeavors, since the art of expression in all of its various forms (for here, we will focus on writing) are oftentimes pivotal towards unlocking the doors you wouldn't have even known existed.

As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Ethnicity & Race Studies from Columbia University, I have over 5 years of tutoring experience in subjects such as English Language and Writing, U.S. Government & Politics, and college application essays.

I am an adjunct instructor/professor of business, marketing, and management with 27 years of college and university teaching experience. Furthermore, I have taught in other countries such as Russia, and I go back and forth to France, which is my origin. Subsequently, I hold four Masters degrees which include an MBA in Management from Long Island University, Masters of Liberal Studies with a concentration in History and Political Science from StonyBrook University, an EdM in Education Administration from Columbia University, and an MLS in Library Science from St John's University. I completed my PhD in Management at Walden University. For the past 16 years, I have been a private tutor in the following subject areas; English, Writing, French, Basic Italian, History, Psychology, Social sciences, and Bible Studies. Furthermore, I am ESL certified from the Language School in Montpellier, France, where I obtained a certification in TOEFL and TOESL. I am experienced in APA format scholarly writing and can assist in all levels of written expression. It is difficult to say what my favorite subject is because I love tutoring and teaching them all, as I truly enjoy helping and mentoring students. If I had to say what my favorite subjects are, I would say the business area because of my teaching experience, the languages, and the writing areas. However, I truly enjoy all the subjects especially ethics and social sciences and hard sciences. Teaching and Tutoring Philosophy In my 27 years of teaching experience on the college and university level, and 10 years of tutoring experience, I have developed my own teaching and tutoring philosophy. From these experiences, I have learned that people have diverse learning styles. For example, some of my students are visual learners, and others are auditory learners as well as kinesthetic learners. Therefore, I have taken on a similar philosophy to Howard Gardner who believed there are many different kinds of intelligences and students have different ways they learn best. Hence, I employ many different learning modalities in my teaching including lecture, presentation, question and answer, group work, brainstorming, visual aids, and role-playing simulations. For tutoring, I use visual and auditory, based on the materials that the student provides. I try to use diverse learning methods that are tailored to each student. My philosophy is that all people can learn given the proper supports and tools. Learning curves vary in length but everyone can achieve and succeed with the proper supports. In addition, I believe that critical thinking and high order cognitive learning is crucial to success in higher education and careers. It is important for students to learn how to compare, contrast, apply, analyze, synthesize, evaluate, and implement. Critical thinking is excellent training in executive decision making and judgment which is crucial for students entering the work place or advancing their careers. I have a strong passion for teaching and it gives me great satisfaction when I see students grow in their knowledge and critical thinking as a result of what I can impart upon them. My interests outside academia include going out with friends, dancing, karaoke, general and space science, sports (hockey, American football, basketball, etc), technology, statistics, music, traveling, French culture, experiencing multicultural diversity, and classic cars. In closing, I think it is important for a tutor to be a knowledgeable teacher, a role model, a mentor, as well as patient and open-minded to all cultures and learning abilities, and styles. My goal is to fulfill that role which is who i admire li Manning who is my role model.
