I am a chemical engineering graduate of Drexel University , Class of 2013. Since graduation , I spent about a year completing a voluntary service program that involved teaching kids at middle school. I am currently an asset integrity analyst at PinnacleART in Pasadena TX. I am a huge, huge math lover. I also thoroughly enjoy periodic tables, solving equations and reading essays. My experiences with schooling in Nigeria have taught me just how important a teacher's attitude is on the student's success, that is just half of the goal. Let's work together to achieve the other half as well. Outside of work , I like to combine weight training and soccer to keep a lean functional physique.

I received a Bachelors of Arts in Biology and a minor in Public Health from Temple University in 2010. In May of this year, I received a Masters Degree in Biological Sciences from Drexel University. During my time at Drexel University, I worked as a teaching assistant for a graduate level Anatomy course for a year. This included assisting students with cadaver dissections in gross lab, and tutoring students for the didactic portion of the course. Anatomy is not only my favorite course to tutor in, but also my favorite subject in biology. I find I never get bored teaching Anatomy, because even though we all have similar basic anatomical structures, no two bodies are alike. Although I am very passionate about learning, I make sure all my students have fun. During a typical tutoring session, I try to incorporate videos, textbooks, and models to help the student stay engaged. I make my sessions interactive in hopes of creating an environment where students can learn the material in a style that is most effective for them. In addition to Anatomy, I also tutor Physiology, Biology, General Chemistry, Physics, and elementary math. When I am not working as a tutor I love to travel, play music, and spend time with my friends.

In 1998, I earned my Master of Physical Therapy from Allegheny University of the Health Sciences. After working as a physical therapist for several years, I continued practicing and earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2014. I have been a clinical instructor to numerous physical therapy students. In addition, I taught Therapeutic Exercise and Therapeutic Modalities & Pharmacology as an adjunct professor for athletic training students. Because I had experience in opening two physical therapy clinics for a hospital employer and a private practice employer, I decided to utilize that experience to open my own independent physical therapy practice in 2015. After earning my NASM Personal Training Certification and pursuing specializations in Fitness Nutrition and Corrective Exercise, I closed my physical therapy practice in 2021 to focus on my current wellness business. I have passed the NATA-BOC, NATA, NASM-CPT, NASM-FNS, and NASM-CES exams on the first attempt. I know how to prepare, study, and pass professional exams! I currently assist with coaching a USATF XC & Track team; however, I miss teaching academically. I am excited to join the Varsity Tutor platform to teach and mentor students who are interested in athletic training, physical therapy, personal training, and nutrition.

PhD Drexel University • PhD Johns Hopkins University
2+ Years Tutoring

I received my PhD in mathematics from Drexel University in 2019. I really enjoyed teaching as a graduate student, and working as a tutor here seems like a nice way to get back into it. Before graduate school, I went to Johns Hopkins. I started out as a "chemical and biomolecular engineering" major, but then ended up switching to a double major in math and electrical engineering. I graduated with a BA in math and MS in electrical engineering. From there, I went to Drexel University to write and defend my dissertation in mathematics, which was about two unsolved problems in linear algebra. While in Johns Hopkins and Drexel University, I ended up teaching a lot of math and a bit of science not only as a tutor, but also as a teaching assistant and as a primary instructor. Since then, I've been working as a mathematician; I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Free University of Brussels for one year, and then as a research scientist at the Air Force Research Lab in Dayton, Ohio for two years. It's been a rewarding career, but I have missed teaching. When it comes to teaching, I try my best to take a flexible approach and meet students where they are. I am a big believer in the power of intuition and curiosity, so I try to teach in a way that nurtures both. I find that it is important not only to know how to get from problem statement to solution, but also to have some understanding of why the pieces fit together the way they do. Besides math and teaching, I enjoy singing, playing piano, playing online chess, and doing the New York Times crossword (and other word games). Lately, I've been trying to get back into running and yoga.

I am a 2014 graduate of Cornell University's College of Engineering where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Biological Engineering. I have just begun my Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University. My favorite subjects to tutor include Test Prep and elementary/middle school subjects. I enjoy helping younger students so that they can be excited about learning and begin their education with a solid foundation in reading, writing, and mathematics. I believe it is important to provide students with the proper tools to succeed at a young age so that they continue to have a desire to learn for the rest of their lives. I loved my college experience and want to show high school students that with practice and diligence, they too can perform well on standardized tests and go on to the university of their choosing. To accomplish academic goals at any level, it is important for the student to have fun while learning! I personalize my teaching approach to fit the student's learning style so that he or she can easily transition from learning a concept to applying it to a given problem. The greatest reward is seeing the smile on a student's face when a topic "clicks".Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring Philadelphia, baking, exercising, watching football with friends, and decorating my apartment.

Hey! I bet I can help you. I am generally laid back in my approach to teaching and strongly believe that EVERYONE can succeed in math and science. The nice thing about these subjects is that there is a right answer and there is always a way to get to it.About my styleI love when students have questions. It will help me to help you. I remember hating when my teachers didn't take the time in class to explain the answers to my questions and I promise that whether you want the long or short answer I will give it to you or research it until I can. If you decide to set up sessions with me, it will be a discussion and an interactive learning process (you get lectured enough in class). When solving problems, I like to guide students to the answer without giving it to them; I have always found this to be the best way to learn. I can also provide full solutions when it comes time to study for that big test.My backgroundI am a graduating senior completing both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in the accelerated Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics program at Drexel University. In addition, I have completed all of the pre-medicine coursework requirements. I am a member of the Pennoni Honors College and an officer in Pi Tau Sigma, the International Mechanical Engineering Honor Society. Upon graduation, I will begin my Ph.D. in the same field, also at Drexel. My area of focus is biomechanics and I have worked in industry for a year designing orthopaedic implants and surgical tools, I have done undegraduate research in tissue engineering, and I am in the process of designing a new total ankle replacement for my Master's thesis.

Let's face it: Math can be tough. So why not make it easier with a personal tutor there help explain the hard things?I have over 5 years of private and group tutoring in all math levels from middle school to high school. I have helped students with Algebra I and II, Geometry, Precalculus, Trigonometry, and Calculus, as well as test prep for the SAT. In that time period, I have had the opportunity to work with dozens of students with different backgrounds, skill levels, and learning styles. As much as tutoring helps the student, it also helps me. My instruction incorporates the best techniques and explanations that I have found most effective over the years.I believe there are two critical ingredients needed to conquer any math issues. The first, is the quality of the tutor. Without a doubt, many people can teach you how to do a math problem, but not everyone can help explain it in such a way that you understand it and can apply the knowledge to future problems. The second important ingredient to successful learning is a positive attitude by the student. When tackling tough math problems, many students begin to feel overwhelmed by the material. I make sure to teach the material at a level the student can understand before progressing to more difficult problems. I have found that this approach allows the student to build up their confidence in the material, which directly translates into a willingness to learn and work hard.In addition, I highly value communication during the tutoring process. This involves keeping parents updated with how lessons are progressing and what was covered and could also include reaching out to school teachers to learn more about the material being covered. This also allows both the student and parents to give me feedback if a certain style of teaching helped a lot or not as much. A big support system around the student is incredibly important to creating a productive environment.I love seeing that aha moment on students faces, and Id love to see one on yours! I encourage you to reach out if you not only want to meet your goals, but exceed them. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello Students and Parents, My name is Gary Taylor and I would look forward to assisting you in your exploration of the fascinating world of Physics. I knew that science would be my general topic of interest when I first entered college (many years back), but I didn't want to restrict myself to a single specialized field of engineering, so physics, the root of all engineering disciplines, was my obvious choice. After working in the aerospace industry for a couple of years (gyroscopes and spacecraft re-entry tracking), I returned to school for a master's degree in biomedical engineering. That field is ever-changing and never-ending; what a blast! In 2009 I added a teaching credential (physics and math) to my resume and have been teaching in the classroom and tutoring students one-on-one since then. Actually, my first experience with tutoring was helping my daughters and their friends with their high school math years ago. I learned even then the satisfaction of seeing students "see the light" on some topic that had previously eluded them or simply gaining confidence as they repeated and internalized techniques which allowed them to solve difficult problems on their own. It is a shame that all students cannot learn from a teacher in one-on-one settings or at least in small groups of mutually trusting and motivated classmates. This encourages students to feel comfortable in asking questions and also gives the teacher the advantage of eye contact and body language reading to encourage repeats or different approaches to the material at hand. You are to be commended if you are able to avail yourself of this optimized approach to learning. I would enjoy the opportunity to work with you. Learning can be fun!

Hi, I'm James. I'm a cybersecurity professional, former university instructor, and longtime competitive chess player who enjoys helping students grow in both technical and strategic thinking skills. I previously taught cybersecurity at Rice University and have mentored students and professionals in IT, problem-solving, and analytical thinking. I also bring years of experience in tournament chess, where I trained under former Women's World Chess Champion Alexandra Kosteniuk and competed in state and collegiate championships. My teaching style is patient, structured, and encouraging. Whether we are working on a computer science concept, preparing for a certification, or improving chess fundamentals, I focus on breaking complex ideas into clear steps and helping students understand the reasoning behind what they are learning. In chess lessons, that means learning how to think through positions and build good habits, not just memorizing moves. In technology subjects, it means understanding how systems work together rather than just following instructions. I work with students of different ages and experience levels, and I tailor each session to the student's goals and learning style. My aim is always the same: to help students build confidence, develop strong thinking skills, and leave each session feeling more capable than when they started.

Certified Tutor
David
BS Drexel University
5+ Years Tutoring

I have my Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University. Up until server issues destroyed all the data I had been working on for years, I was a PhD student working on Machine Learning. During my time as a PhD student, I was a Teaching Assistant and always found my passion in helping students learn. I was involved with many subjects including Circuits, Circuits Labs, Fourier/Laplace Transforms, Python, Matlab, Control Engineering, and Probability. For several of these classes, I would end up having regular students visit me during office hours since they tended to learn better from me than they would from the actual professor. My favorite times came when I was the teaching assistant for probability courses. Due to their difficulty, I had found myself starting off teaching one student, then next week they bring a friend, and the following week they would bring more friends. By the final exam, I was practically running my own class in the subject.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tutors who attended or graduated from Drexel University bring both academic expertise and real-world experience. Many have completed rigorous coursework in their subject areas and have navigated Drexel's cooperative education program, which emphasizes practical application alongside theoretical knowledge. This combination means they understand not just what to teach, but how to connect concepts to real-world problem-solving—a valuable perspective when explaining complex material to students.

Learning from someone with Drexel experience offers a unique advantage: they've already mastered the material you're working to understand, and they can share strategies that worked for them in rigorous coursework. Drexel's emphasis on hands-on learning and co-op experiences means these tutors often bring practical examples and problem-solving approaches that go beyond textbook explanations. They can also provide insight into how different subjects connect to real career applications, which helps contextualize why you're learning something in the first place.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors from Drexel's diverse academic programs, including engineering, business, computer science, mathematics, chemistry, physics, and more. Many also excel in test prep for the SAT, ACT, and GRE—areas where strong foundational knowledge is essential. Because Drexel emphasizes technical and professional fields, you'll find particularly strong expertise in STEM subjects and business-related coursework, though tutors are available across many academic disciplines.

Drexel's cooperative education program requires students to complete multiple internships alongside their studies, giving tutors real-world experience in their fields. This means they've applied what they learned in the classroom to actual job settings and projects. When you're struggling with a concept, a tutor with co-op experience can explain not just how to solve a problem, but why it matters in professional contexts—something that can deepen understanding and motivation, especially if you're working toward a specific career path.

Yes. Drexel's curriculum is known for academic rigor, particularly in engineering, mathematics, and sciences. Tutors who have completed these programs are well-equipped to help with challenging upper-level courses, technical subjects, and problem-intensive material. Whether you're working through calculus, organic chemistry, computer science fundamentals, or any other demanding subject, connecting with a tutor who has successfully completed similar coursework at Drexel provides confidence that they can guide you through complex concepts.

While textbooks and online resources present information the same way to everyone, personalized 1-on-1 instruction adapts to how you learn. A tutor from Drexel can identify gaps in your understanding, adjust pacing, and focus on exactly what you need—whether that's filling in foundational knowledge or diving deeper into advanced topics. Research in educational psychology shows that 1-on-1 instruction significantly outpaces traditional classroom learning, and having a tutor who understands rigorous coursework firsthand means they can explain material in multiple ways until it clicks for you.
