Award-Winning Tutors from Drexel University

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 student physician (M2), former classroom biology teacher, and certified tutor. With over 1,000 lessons taught at a 5.0 rating, I have been in education for around 10 years. I currently attend MMC where I pursue my Doctor of Medicine. I attended DUCOM where I earned my M.S in health science, conc. Pharmacology & Biochemistry. Prior, I attended Binghamton University where I studied Neuroscience (B.S.) and French Linguistics (B.A.), in addition to a Pre-Medicine concentration. In the past, I've worked as a T.A. for intermediate & advanced French, intro. college chemistry, Algebra 1 and Geometry. Being an educator is one of my greatest passions in life, so I hope to work with even more students to come!

I am a structural bridge engineer currently working for a company in Boston. I have always had an interest in teaching either Math or Science but chose a different career path. I keep my passion for teaching and helping others in the subjects I am interested in through tutoring; it is something I thoroughly enjoy doing while helping students excel and achieve their potential in areas they might be struggling in. I have been tutoring in the greater Boston area for the last nine years and have found it rewarding watching students succeed in areas they didn't think they could; moreover, I have patient step by step teaching style that has seemed to work well with a variety of students.

I am currently a medical student in Philadelphia, and have a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Stony Brook University. I have several years of experience tutoring SAT students, but thanks to my mixed background I have proficiency in a wide range of subjects including mathematics, biological sciences, engineering, and physical sciences.I am passionate about teaching, and have taught healthcare sciences to underprivileged high school students in my spare time. My own experience as a student has taught me that learning new subject material can be intimidating, so my teaching philosophy involves a focus on breaking down complex problems into simpler, less daunting components. As a teacher I am most fulfilled when, through systematic instruction and problem-solving, I am able to promote the type of academic confidence that allows students to achieve their full potential.I was a collegiate rugby player and understand the struggles of the student-athlete. However, I firmly believe that many of the qualities that earn success in athletics can also translate to the classroom. I strive to exemplify this balance and motivate students to pursue success in all areas of their life.

I'm an experienced tutor with a Bachelor's in Biology and 3 years teaching experience, and I love helping students succeed in subjects like Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy, and Math. Being fluent in both English andSpanish and having lived 5 years in Spain, I also enjoy teaching Spanish and ESL. I've worked with students of all ages and levels, and I'm excited to bring my passion for teaching to your child. I'm all about creating a positive, personalized learning experience that helps students feel confident and reach their goals!

I graduated from Xavier University in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science in Sports Medicine/Athletic Training. 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. I am a gym-rat and an endurance junkie! I workout almost 2 hour every day because I love how exercise increases my energy. I believe my experience across the medical-fitness industry will provide students with great insight into both academic and real-world learning.

"Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it." This quote by College Football Hall of Famer Lou Holtz details the aspects to accomplishing a task. My personal belief is that these 3 components also apply to studying, and the mastery of every one is the key to academic success.I strive to achieve these three factors in my own life as well as helping others realize their potential through mastering ability, motivation, and attitude.

Hello everyone! A little bit about myself, I am a recent graduate from Drexel U with a degree in Accounting and Finance. I am available for ACT tutoring as well as Accounting and Finance help!

I am looking to help students understand and learn whatever materials they are having trouble with. I have tutored for roughly 2 years while I was in high school. I'm currently in my third year of studying Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University. I would like to aid students in any way possible.

Hi!! My name is Tiffany and I am an RN at Stony Brook Hospital in Stony Brook, NY. My specialty is cardiovascular surgery. I passed my NCLEX on the first attempt in 2017 and hold a BSN from Stony Brook University. I am currently enrolled in a Masters program at Drexel University for nursing leadership and hospital systems management. I am proficient in interpreting telemetry strips, pharmacology, all aspects of cardiovascular surgery including lungs, and dosage calculations. I have been tutoring for the better part of 10 years in various subject matters including nursing. I look forward to helping you!!

With a background in banking and financial risk management, I have worked in the US, Asia and Europe, as an analyst and a consultant. There are a wide range of subject matters I am interested in: finance, economics, business writing (I published a number of analyst reports), and science (my dream was to become a physicist). I am passionate about tutoring because I want to share my interest in these subjects, and I will break them down so that it will be easy for my students to understand. I have had ample tutoring/teaching experience (including GMAT preparation and Mandarin workshops) and as a consultant, conducted numerous seminars. Simply put, I enjoyed it, so did my students.

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.

As a passionate tutor with a Master's degree in Biomedical Sciences from Drexel University, I am committed to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment for my students. My experience in tutoring high school biology has reinforced my belief that personalized guidance is crucial for academic success. I strive to connect with each student by tailoring my approach to their unique learning styles, helping them to navigate complex scientific concepts with confidence. My motivation for tutoring stems from a genuine desire to inspire curiosity and foster growth in my students. I am excited to contribute my knowledge and enthusiasm to enhance their educational journeys and support them in achieving their academic goals.

Hello, my name is Lena! I graduated from Tufts University in 2017 with a BS in Biology, and I just completed my MS of Biomedical Studies at Drexel University. In my master's program, I was a peer tutor for graduate level sciences, such as anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. In August, I will be starting medical school to pursue my dream of being a physician. In the meantime, I am here to help with pre-med coursework, MCAT prep, and many other classes. I am frequently available for online tutoring.

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.

I have a background in Biomedical and Mechanical Engineering, mainly with a concentration in tissue biomechanics for my work. After my education, I have been involved primarily in research and science work, mainly focused on my career; I am, at this point, taking a break from being in the lab. I desire to break down complex subjects into simple concepts essential in any field. As we progress to complex topics, we forget the simple concepts we learn in high school/college. My experiences as a TA were memorable and taught me about explaining subjects and concepts. I strongly believe in knowing the concepts and fundamentals while ensuring the future is bright and prosperous. We are in a global society where quality education is paramount. I want to improve on the fundamentals of students, which can be helpful for all. For my leisure time, I enjoy college sports, DC and Marvel movies, and leisure reading!

I recently graduated with a bachelor's of science degree in chemistry with a minor in mathematics. Since graduation, I am currently working for a pharmaceutical company.

I am an undergraduate student at Drexel University. I am majoring in Psychology and minoring in Health Services Administration as well as Sports Coaching Leadership. I have been lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons since I was 14. From there, I began teaching at KinderCare Learning Centers in March of 2021. I work primarily with students ages six to twelve but have worked with all age groups. I also have experience teaching children with special needs. I have taught a wide variety of subjects, but I am passionate about Algebra, Science, and English. I enjoy learning about my students and how I can help them better understand a specific topic. If a student is interested in what they are learning about, they often have an easier time grasping the concept. I am passionate about helping students achieve their goals and further their education. Outside of academia, I enjoy swimming, running, and playing with my dog!

I am a graduate of Drexel University (BS and PhD) and the University of Minnesota (MS) where I studied Biomedical Engineering. During my academic career I have tutored many of my classmates, and also have taught three undergraduate level Engineering classes. Although I generally take a direct approach to tutoring utilizing real-world examples, my experiences have taught me that all students learn differently and I try to adapt my teaching style to best fit my students. My education and professional career have made me qualified to teach the subjects I have always been most interested in, all levels of mathematics and biology. Outside of my professional life I enjoy cycling, camping, fly fishing, hiking, sports and home-made cooking. I look forward to spending more of my spare time educating others.

I have spent a huge portion of my life in education, both pursuing it and dispensing it. I have a B.S. in Environmental Science from Drexel University, and a M.S. in Environmental Science from Stockton University. I first started working as a tutor in 2012, when I tutored students in writing at Drexel, and went on to work as a tutor in a wider variety of subjects - environmental science, biology, writing, European and U.S. History, and other social studies courses- for students ranging from middle school through college. I am currently working as a lab instructor at Temple University, where I teach both underclass and upperclass biology courses.I aim to make learning fun and take pride in engaging my students on the topic of the day, even when it's something they may not be as passionate about. I work hard to engage my students, and try to approach the material from an angle that will draw them in. I am comfortable in group settings, or one-on-one, either in person or virtually, and like to tailor my sessions to the individual needs of the student - whether they need help understanding the material, with strategies for studying, or even just with motivation. I have a good deal of experience working with students who are studying for the AP exams, and have many strategies for studying for them (especially for those students who don't like to study!).

As an Educator, it is my responsibility to ensure that my students receive a quality education in a safe environment. My students will receive quality support services from me. My education includes a Bachelor of History from Temple University and a Master's Degree in Teaching, Learning and Curriculum from Drexel University.

I'm currently a sophomore at Drexel University in Philadelphia pursuing a BA in Law and a BS in Criminology and Justice Studies. I have been a tutor for over five years now, and I have experience instructing students ages 7-18 in a variety of subjects, including Math, ELA, Social Studies, and SAT/SSAT prep. In the past, I've assisted students in achieving their academic goals by breaking down their work into manageable chunks and diligently practicing their problems. I'm a big believer in being a clear communication with students and inviting them to invest in their work. I hope to continue that success here!

I graduated cum laude from Drexel University with a major in psychology and a minor in criminal justice. Throughout my academic and professional career, I have developed strong interpersonal skills, communication, and a desire to help individuals get to where they need to be and achieve the goals they desire to uphold. I hope to make psychology approachable and fun. Book a lesson with me today!

I recently graduated from Drexel University in June 2014 with a Bachelor's of Arts in English and a Bachelor's of Science in Nutrition and Food Sciences. Teaching was a core value reflected in the curriculum for both of my undergraduate majors. As a nutrition major, I was afforded the opportunity to teach nutrition education classes in underserved neighborhoods and elementary schools. As an English major, I took pride in helping fellow students and aspiring writers to refine their thoughts and ideas in essays and creative compositions alike. In my current position as a laboratory technician in a university setting, I work directly with students in a lab setting on a daily basis. I have worked as a teaching assistant for university-level microbiology courses and I also have expansive experience in writing, literary analysis, and reading comprehension, as I have composed original research in English literature, peer reviewed many of my colleagues' papers, and have served as an editorial intern for a published literary journal and as a weekly arts journalist for a local online publication.Since graduating from college and starting my primary occupation as a lab technician, I found that I have less opportunities to help students and to improve their writing and analytical reading skills, which is a profound passion of mine. Tutoring students in English literature and composition enables me to keep doing something that I love to do. In my spare time, I also enjoy painting, learning computer programming, baking, and reading anything and everything that I can.

I am an independent contractor specializing in all aspects of human resources in the nonprofit and small business arena. Most recently, I retired as Chief Human Resources Officer at a human services nonprofit organization.

I have just finished my freshman year at Drexel University. I really enjoy tutoring and spent my senior year of high school working as an SAT prep and general math tutor. I look forward to working with anyone helping them love the subjects I'm tutoring them in as much as I do.

I'm an interactive teacher that has taught and tutored all levels of math from Algebra through. AP Calculus, physics , calculus, SAT Math and MCAT math, and much more. I enjoy all aspects of education from teaching and tutoring to creating education and creating curriculum.

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 firmly believe that most students have an innate ability to learn well, and that a good teacher/tutor can connect with students to draw out that natural ability. Thus, students shouldn't feel discouraged about learning, and I strive to help them keep positive, no matter how tough the subject/topic seems--you can do this!So far, I have been lucky to work with students ranging from college freshmen through graduate students, and I also served briefly as a K-12 para-educator in NJ. I earned my Ph.D. in Communication from Drexel U., and my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in English and Communication from Kean University.For the future, I look forward to tutoring K-12, college, and other students for language arts, humanities, and social sciences subjects, as well as a limited number of lower-level STEM subjects. In addition, I look forward to mentoring students vis-a-vis study skills and strategies. Moreover, I really don't have a favorite subject as such--I enjoy teaching any subject.My teaching philosophy and tutoring style, in a nutshell: I am patient and understanding, but I have reasonably high standards for myself and my students--and I lead by example!On an off-work day, you might find me taking a stroll or a swim, or reading a good Ken Follet novel. Or, who knows, you might find me taking a flying lesson (for a private pilot license)!

As an aspiring doctor, I enjoy helping other students understand the applicability of biology within the field of medicine.

My specialty is breaking down complex and confusing topics into ideas that are easier to understand. Whether science is your weak subject and you need help actually understanding the basics, or you are well on your way towards a science career and need assistance with advanced topics, I'm here to help!

My philosophy for teaching is strongly supported by my belief that all students deserve access to quality education. Not all students come from the same background, thus I strive to create an all accepting classroom environment that meets each students' specific needs. I make sure to meet all my students where they are, whatever level that may be, and help build them up to surpass their expectations and achieve their goals.I prefer to have a wide net of teaching methods geared towards addressing different learning styles, because I feel it is important to design my methods in a way that collectively supports my students' distinct learning processes. My goal is to provide students with the opportunity to learn in the way that fits best for them. I believe students should be able to learn in a stress-free environment and at a pace that does not impose unnecessary pressure on their learning process.Through my extended experience as an educator, I have always made it a personal goal to make the learning process for my students enjoyable and engaging. I am a very quirky, positive, and outgoing person which translates over to how I connect with my students. It is of utmost importance to me that my students smile and laugh in my classroom and genuinely want to come to class. I will always go above and beyond for my students, as it is my passion to ensure that they all have a progressive educational experience that leads them on toward future success.

Hello I am Peter Campion. I studied education in Temple's graduate program, and I have a bachelor of science in physics from Drexel University. I taught high schoolclasses of chemistry, biology, physical science, and earth space science in Northeast Philadelphia. I have also worked on a project to create a code that generates animations of simulated galactic dynamics. More recently, I have co-authored my second scholarly article concerning a dark matter search apparatus engineered with PICO international collaboration.

I firmly believe that learning should be enjoyable for students. At times, it will be challenging and boring, but the overall process ought to be somewhat exciting and satisfying. Not all educators have the ability to create an enjoyable learning environment this could be due to large class sizes, limited class time, lack of resources, or inadequate training. As a tutor, I use the unique opportunities of one-on-one and small group sessions to form personal connections with students, in an effort to discover what sort of experience they need to enjoy learning the material. I think that students need to be comfortable in their learning environment so they can make mistakes and ask for help, when necessary. I tutor primarily biology and chemistry at the high school and undergraduate levels, as well as admissions exams, such as the ACT, the GRE, and the MCAT. My true passion is at the interface of biology and chemistry in the areas of biochemistry and molecular biology. I find it fascinating to learn about how fundamental concepts of chemistry allow biological organisms to function effectively. During my undergraduate career, I worked as a teaching assistant in a lower-level animal anatomy and physiology course and in an upper-level biochemistry course. Furthermore, I have mentored underclassmen by helping them through courses that I took in previous years. I have earned a B.S. in Molecular Biology from Messiah College and I am working towards a Ph.D. in Biochemistry at Drexel University. When I am not lost in the world of academia, I enjoy spending time in nature, reading science-fiction books, and cooking plant-based foods.

I have been tutoring for the past 6 years. I volunteered for a tutoring organization in college, and upon graduating worked for a tutoring company in my hometown.I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2014 where I completed degrees in Chinese as well as Communications. Afterwards, I worked in a special education classroom for students who were deaf or hard of hearing. Following that I worked for Big Brothers Big Sisters for 2 years. I ran mentoring programs within many elementary and middle school public schools in the Pittsburgh area.I completed my Masters in Early Childhood Education (specifically PreK-4), in 2018. I currently am a Kindergarten teacher. Working with children is truly my passion. I have 21 wonderful 5/6 year old students.I still tutor out of school hours. I am always happy to go the extra mile and help with anything, not just the subjects where I specialize. If I don't know the answer to something I'm happy to do the research and figure it out. I'm also happy to adapt my lessons and methods to fit the student and their learning style.
