Award-Winning Tutors from Emory University

I graduated from The George Washington University in 2015 with a BA in International Affairs. After graduating college, I moved to the Mississippi Delta to teach with Teach for America. Teach for America (TFA) is an AmeriCorps program that recruits, trains, and places top college graduates in high needs schools throughout the country. During my time with TFA, I taught a variety of science courses in my placement high school, including state tested biology. I am a certified biology and social studies teacher for grades 7-12. My time teaching has been both rewarding and challenging. One of my focuses as a lead science teacher was to work with students on college readiness. From ACT prep to rigorous lab based science instruction, we saw students grow five points on the ACT and increased the pass rate on the state exam. As my time with Teach for America comes to an end, I am excited to continue my commitment to education with Varsity Tutors. Currently I am working on a Master’s in Public Health at Emory University.

Passionate about education, I've taught test prep, middle and high school, subject tutoring such as algebra, geometry and writing, ESL, and music theory and performance. I also have experience as a camp counselor, coach for soccer and basketball, and I have really enjoyed teaching game design courses for middle to high school age students. In my spare time, you'd find me playing music on guitar, piano or Ableton, writing children's books, or reading a book on world history.I am an English major from Emory University, which I attended on a merit-based scholarship. I have been tutoring SAT or ACT prep and other high school subjects for the past 15 years in Asheville, Atlanta, and Miami, and honed my techniques with several excellent organizations before joining Varsity Tutors for their Atlanta launch.I focus on simple strategies that can be applied universally to all sections of testing, while still trying to develop a specific approach for each student, because everyone learns a little differently.I enjoy tutoring SAT prep because I love seeing students make real progress, measurable in their scores, that will help them succeed in their educational and professional lives. Helping someone achieve their goals and dreams is a very rewarding feeling.What most makes me an effective teacher is the breadth of my knowledge and experience - math, literature, history, politics, music, art, journalism, and architecture have all been passions of mine. This variety of experience helps me relate to a wide range of students and teach many different subjects.

I recently graduated from Emory University with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in Psychology. I also completed courses for the pre-medicine track because I ultimately intend to pursue a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree.Working as a tutor with Varsity Tutors is my first official work experience as a teacher of any sort; however, I've been involved in unofficial sessions of tutoring and instruction for as long as I can remember. Currently, I am available to tutor up to high school level math as well as college level psychology. There are several other subjects that I am interested in tutoring in the near future. My favorite subjects to tutor are psychology and math. Psychology is a long-term passion of mine and I am very comfortable across a wide range of disciplines within the field. In addition, math is a subject, I believe, that is best learned through individual attention. I am fascinated to learn about and eager to adapt to each individual student's preferred methods of learning.My teaching philosophy is student-centered. In other words, I place a ton of emphasis on how each individual learns. From there, I can think of the best ways that a student can learn. I am also always open to suggestions from the student or parents. My main goal as a tutor is to help students achieve their goals while alleviating potential stress and/or negativity surrounding a certain subject or field. I feel that I can get along with students of all cultures given that I have lived all over the world and experienced several cultures outside of my own. I look forward to meeting new students and learning from one another!

After graduating from Emory University with a major in both Biology and Economics in 2014, I moved to New York where I currently work in a leukemia lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering. My current lab is very interested in the epigenetics of cancer, and I also have research interests in gene therapy. I recently took the new MCAT and scored in the 98th percentile overall, with 99+ percentile in all the science sections.Outside of my medical and academic interests, I live for soccer! Last winter, I went to London and saw my favorite team Arsenal play in their beautiful Emirates stadium. I'm starting to get back into my running and completed a marathon in Charleston in 2015 - I think this shows my perseverance and commitment to goals I set for myself. For Varsity Tutors, my goal is to gain greater experience helping students like yourselves in topics concerning the MCAT or sciences. I look forward to working with you in the future!

I am a student-athlete graduate of the Emory University Class of 2020, where I obtained a B.S. in Biology. Currently, I attend the Medical College of Georgia M.D. program and am seeking to build upon my experiences to apply education, service, and mentorship to a career in medicine. After graduating from Emory in May 2020, I worked as a Medical Scribe in my hometown and volunteered as a Mental Health Counselor through Crisis Text Line. Since high school, I have enjoyed tutoring elementary, middle, and high school students in a broad range of subjects with the most experience in Mathematics (Pre-Algebra + Algebra), English, Reading, Science (Biology + Chemistry), and Writing. I bring a strong approach in helping students prepare for Standardized Tests as well (ISEE, SAT, ACT, and MCAT). In any subject, but especially with Standardized Tests, my tutoring style invokes a sense of introspection within each student to help them achieve the most confidence and individualized direction in their abilities. In my spare time, I enjoy watching sports, playing golf, reading, and hiking!

I grew up in Decatur, Georgia attending some of the best Atlanta public schools. After graduating from the University of Georgia's business school, I worked in benefits consulting for the first three years after college. Through a volunteer organization called Junior Achievement, I had the opportunity to teach personal finance classes in Atlanta public high schools, and in the classroom I found my true calling. While I enjoyed my experience in Corporate America, my passion is teaching mathematics and economics to our youth and helping them find their own paths and passions. I will graduate this May with my Master of Arts in Teaching degree. In my free time, you can find me cooking, running, traveling, and reading.

I am a rising sophomore at Emory University working towards a Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology, as well as a minor in global health, culture, and society. I tutored in multiple subject areas in high school as a peer tutor as well as a tutor to younger students in elementary and middle school. I also tutored elementary school students in multiple subject areas during my first year at Emory. I tutor in many subjects, but have always been passionate specifically about tutoring in math. I have been tutored by peers many times throughout high school and college in different subjects, including the ACT. I found unique ways to solve problems and expand my problem solving skills through this, especially because I felt as though my peers were better able to relate to me, and therefore cater to my needs as a student. My approach is catered specifically to each student by first learning how he or she best learns, and then using tactics that will benefit them the most as they learn and grow as a student.

In 2016 I received my M.P.H degree in Global Environmental Health at Emory University and in 2014 I received my B.A. degree in Community Health at Brown University. Currently, I am working as a program manager at a local non-profit organization in Miami. Outside of academia and work my interests are singing karaoke with friends, swimming, watching movies, and reading about environmental and social justice issues. In the past I have tutored public health topics (including epidemiology) online, taught environmental science and history courses, and tutored students in-person on ACT prep, biology, voice lessons, and Spanish language. My clients have been middle school, high school, university, and graduate students. My favorite subjects to tutor are those that I myself had to work the hardest to conquer (ACT, Spanish fluency, epidemiology and chemistry)! I love teaching these subjects because through my own struggle to achievement I have developed especially effective methods for my clients to succeed as well. My teaching style is based upon working with clients to develop individualized study methods. I am a tutor who is patient, caring, and committed to seeing you exceed your goals. Don't hesitate to contact me if you are searching for a tutor with these qualities.

Your success is my number one priority.

Hi there! My name is Sophie and I've been tutoring for the past two years. I'm currently a junior of Emory University working towards a Bachelor's in Computer Science and Mathematics while also minoring in Women's & Sexuality Studies. I started working in my college's math center as a tutor for my fellow students in the spring semester of my freshmen year, and I then became a head tutor in my sophomore year. The position allowed me to work quick, one-time sessions, as well as, more intensive, consistent ones, and a mix. Outside of that, I weekly tutored an eighth-grade student in math in my sophomore year.Evidently, math subjects are my forte, but test prep and test taking are among my strong suits as well.I find tutoring to be incredibly rewarding and dynamic; both of which I consider myself lucky to experience in a work.

Emory University Senior with 3+ years of experience tutoring refugee students in mathematics (algebra, geometry), science (biology, chemistry), and English (ESL). Adept at using positive reinforcement teaching techniques to encourage student behavior and development. I am hoping to use my creativity and experience to help students to be successful in their studies.

I want to live in a world filled with inspired self-starters and self-assured young people. As a young professional, helping others own their spark is what keeps mine twinkling. Whether its as modest as modifying a rowing machine with duct tape to be disability friendly, as brave as a teenagers first authentic statement in family therapy after months of nudging, as critical as ensuring there isnt a refugee without food or shelter, or as important as teaching a teenager how to read, I am energized through equipping and empowering others. Im an action-oriented extrovert who is equal parts goal and relationship-oriented and ready to be challenged and engaged.

I am an undergraduate student studying Neuroscience and Religion at Emory University. I've been tutoring for over three years, and I have extensive experience tutoring math all the way from Algebra 1 to Calculus 2. I am extremely passionate about helping students understand and love what they are learning, and in my experience, my tutoring style of focusing on the underlying concepts of a subject has been very successful. I find students that are able to critically apply what they have learned to new problems are the most successful, and I strive to make every one of my students adopt this mentality. I love getting to know my students on a personal level, and speaking to them about my love for undergraduate research, dancing, and sports!

As an academician I take great pleasure as well as an honor to help guide students to understanding various disciplines of the arts and sciences including language. Having had the opportunity to fill different roles of teaching I find it especially rewarding to motivate students prepare their journey to higher learning and a career path.

I received a Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology Major (B.S.) and History Minor from Emory University.Throughout my undergraduate years, I worked as a Biology teaching assistant at Emory (leading review sessions in the advanced and introductory courses). Today, I mainly tutor students in Biology-related courses, including Human Physiology and Neuroscience.As a medical student at New York Medical College, I hope to offer students interested in a career in medicine additional breadth and specialized mentoring. Moreover, I also enjoy writing and would be more than happy to assist with college essays, especially scientific writing.In my free time, I enjoy volunteering as an EMT at a local ambulance corps, reading, and cooking.

I became a tutor because I love to teach. I first started tutoring as a student at Emory University, where I worked with fellow students who were struggling with writing in the Emory Student Writing Center. I realized that I had a knack for helping students understand grammar and composition and soon developed a reputation for my ability to help my peers understand why they were struggling and how they could improve. After graduation, I continued to work at Emory as an Arts at Emory associate, a highly competitive two-year fellowship that gave me the chance to co-teach a writing-intensive course in Theater History. I then joined the Peace Corps and traveled to Chad, where I worked as a full-time teacher for students in the equivalents of 8th-12th grade. Upon returning to the United States, I became a full-time tutor with a major tutoring company in Atlanta, where I tutored middle and high school students in all subjects as well as standardized test preparation.I believe that students enjoy learning from teachers who enjoy learning themselves. As an enthusiastic learner and engaged listener, I am able to connect empathetically with my students while motivating them to achieve their very best. While not all schoolwork is fun and games, I believe that my ability to help students understand the bigger picture and connect the subjects they are learning with their goals and dreams helps them to see the value of their accomplishments. I have benefitted from many great teachers over my life, and it is my sincere wish to help other students find the same joy in learning that those teachers instilled in me.

I strive to help students of all ages better learn the material and use specific learning techniques that best fit the learning styles of every student I tutor. I am a passionate and energetic graduate student with extensive background in life sciences and have years of teaching experience. I am a great communicator that is also patient and creative. I feel these skills enable me to work with students and effectively improve their knowledge and understanding of the material they may struggle with. I received my B.S. from Emory University in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology along with teaching experience in biology and human health. I feel my energy along with background in life sciences and teaching can offer any student seeking help the best possible assistance with their course material. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors, football and soccer, as well as music.

I am a graduate of the University of Georgia, and a current law student working toward a Juris Doctorate at Emory University School of Law. Upon graduation from the University of Georgia, I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science along with a minor in History.During my time as a student at the University of Georgia, I tutored athletes in Political Science 1101 covering nearly every aspect of American Government. In addition to tutoring traditional students, I have experience teaching children outside of an orthodox classroom; I have taught children how to swim, waterski, and wake board during summer camp.Although I edit essays and tutor History, American Government, and Grammar, I enjoy tutoring American Government the most. As a Political Science major, I am passionate about American Government, as I firmly believe that civic knowledge is a keystone of any functioning society.Outside of tutoring and school I enjoy rebuilding car engines, reading epic novels, and playing violin.

I am a senior at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, working towards my bachelor's in chemistry. I was a K-12 afterschool tutor throughout high school and have assisted students on everything from elementary reading to high school chemistry and SATs. In college, I also spent time at a girl's home providing homework help and was an on-campus Latin tutor.Having had wonderful teachers in the past, I see tutoring as a way to pay forward the love for learning they gave me. I also enjoy the challenge of communicating concepts in an audience-specific manner, and from having created many study guides as a student am interested in how the organization of knowledge can facilitate learning.My favorite subjects to teach are currently high school math, but I love chemistry and biology as well. In my spare time, I enjoy folding origami, doing jigsaw puzzles, and playing video games.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that every student has the potential to succeed when given encouragement, structure, and meaningful instruction. With sixteen years of experience teaching social studies, I have learned that education is most powerful when students see how it connects to their own lives. Social studies is not simply about memorizing dates, names, and events; it is about applying them to daily living to become a good citizen and lifelong learner.

I recently moved from San Francisco to Atlanta to study pediatric nursing and public health at Emory University.

I am a graduate of Emory University and received a Bachelor of Science in both Biology and Anthropology. My collegiate coursework focused heavily on the biological sciences, including evolutionary Biology, Microbiology, Ecology, Biological Anthropology and Math. I have been passionate about science since I was a child and have always enjoyed sharing that passion with others. As a long-time member of the Boy Scouts of America and with three younger brothers, mentoring and teaching has been a large part of my life and something I sincerely enjoy. It is my wish to not only help others gain factual knowledge, but to ignite an academic curiosity and the determination to constantly discover more about the world around us. Connecting with the student is of utmost importance. A mutual trust is necessary in order to not only help the student learn, but to help them become most confident in their great abilities. While not tutoring, I enjoy hiking and camping, and am currently planning to pursue a graduate degree in the field of development.

I am a third year Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology major at Emory University. My tutoring career unofficially began helping my younger siblings with homework, but has since professionalized! I have tutored students ranging in age, interest, background, and academic capabilities. In the past year, I spent most of my time tutoring 3rd to 6th graders, working on math, reading, writing, and science homework. I also edited college English and biology papers. My favorite subjects to tutor are writing and the sciences! I love to get to know my student's interests and fill sessions with fun activities and relevant discussions. My primary goal in tutoring is to build my students' confidence, both in the material and in their ability to take control of their learning.

I believe that everyone learns in a slightly different way. As a tutor it is crucial for me to identify the way in which my students learn best and instruct them in a way that is complimentary to their primary instruction. I have a diverse educational background and am currently completing my JD/MBA. Prior to coming to Emory for Grad School, I graduated in 3 years from the University of Central Florida. While I enjoy learning now, that wasn't always the case and I am very sympathetic to students who find some subjects to be particularly taxing. I understand what it feels like to be frustrated and feel like you will never master a topic or subject. Whether you need help with Middle or High School classes, or are preparing to take the SAT, ACT, LSAT or GMAT, I would love to help you or your student achieve your academic goals.

I am a fourth-year student at Emory University, majoring in Biology and minoring in Anthropology. I have experience as a biology and chemistry tutor at the college and high school levels, and can also aid in other subjects, not limited to algebra, reading, writing, test prep, and college preparation. I hope to be a helping hand and reliable teacher to all my students.

I am a tutor because of all of the great tutors that influenced me throughout my academic career. I was always a good student, but I believe that the tutors that have been in my life helped me to become an outstanding student and tutor. With their help, I was able to finish high school at the top of my class and go on to receive my Bachelor of Arts in English from Emory University. I am currently studying at Morehouse School of Medicine located in Atlanta, GA.My tutoring experience began in high school where I tutored students and my peers in all subjects ranging from phonics to calculus. Throughout college, I continued to tutor students from elementary school all the way up to those in college. After graduating college, I worked with a professional tutoring company for two years where I learned a variety of different tutoring techniques to apply to different learning styles. I have experience tutoring a variety of different subjects such as biology, chemistry, English (both language and literature), and multiple levels of math (pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus). My ultimate goal as a tutor is to have students truly understand a concept and then to move ahead.I have embraced the idea that learning is a different experience for everyone. For some, it takes no time at all, while for others it is an extremely difficult task. All in all learning takes effort. With this idea in mind, my tutoring methods are extremely flexible to meet the need of every student that I come into contact with. At the end of the day, the student should feel a sense of understanding that they did not have before. I strongly believe that learning should be a fun experience so that what you learn sticks with you.Aside from being a tutor, I am a huge sports fanatic, especially football (both college and professional)—Go DAWGS & Go FALCONS! I also have a passion for cars. I am an amateur figure skater and love to read & shop during my free time. The thing that I value the most is my family. I believe in going after your dreams and doing all that you can to achieve your goals; and I truly believe that education is one of the most valuable tools you can have.

Hello! I am a graduate student at Northwestern University in the Masters of Biotechnology Program. After I graduate in 2021. I plan on attending law school. I attended Emory University in Atlanta where I studied Chemistry and Ancient Mediterranean Archaeology. Working through ChEmorythe Emory university chemistry cluband private networking I tutored students in high school and college throughout my undergraduate career.As a college graduate I have the skills to assist the students in their studies, interact with students in a positive way, proofread and prepare documents, and maintain an orderly work environment. I am professional and take pride in the quality of work I produce. I enjoy helping others learn.

I graduated from Emory University in 2017 with a B.S. in Biology. I achieved a 4.0/4.0 GPA, graduated with Phi Beta Kappa honors, and was ranked in the top 1% of my entire undergraduate class.Afterwards, I attended the University of Maryland School of Medicine and am set to receive my M.D. in May 2023. I was awarded the Outstanding Research Award by my medical school for placing in the top 10% of my class for scientific research productivity. I have been fortunate to win several national awards and publish over 30+ research publications (including 10+ first-authorships, PubMed Indexed). Recently, I matched into Diagnostic Radiology at my top choice, the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and will be starting my residency in June! Over the past admissions cycle, I was fortunate to interview at nearly half of the programs ranked nationally in the Top 20.My initial mentorship journey began in college when I would regularly tutor my peers as a Teaching Assistant in Biology, Chemistry, and Biochemistry. After being accepted to medical school, I eventually fell in love with seeing my students not only succeed in the classroom but also achieve their own admissions dreams. I have guided numerous students over the years through AMCAS cycles (i.e., editing personal statements, primaries, secondaries, and interview prep) and have even served on the Admissions Committee at my medical school. I aspire to build upon these skills to further aid my clients in achieving their college, medical school, and residency match dreams.

I graduated Bergen County Academies as a part of the Academy of Advancement of Science and Technology. I am currently a junior majoring in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology at Emory University. In my free time, I dance in a college organization, work as a researcher and serve as the philanthropy chairwoman for Gamma Phi Beta.I began tutoring in high school through NHS. I have spent my past several summers working as a TA for classes taught at my high school and have also served as a TA for a research class at my university. I spent my past semester abroad at University of Melbourne where I tutored ESL students as a part of my course, Understanding Knowing and Learning.I try to apply what I've learned in my coursework to my students and aim to keep my tutoring sessions interactive. I adjust my tutoring to fit the needs of the student and try to apply the information to what they are most comfortable with or real life situations which they are interested in.

My own teaching method is strongly informed by my personal experiences as a student. At the conclusion of Kindergarten, my teacher advised my parents that I was not going to be able to keep up with my classmates and needed to be held back for a year; they felt I was lacking focus and at risk of failing to develop in step with my peers. Despite my teacher's concerns, my parents decided to send me along to first grade and trust that any 'growing pains' would resolve themselves. Twelve years later, I graduated in the top 1% of my class after being selected for the Honors/AP track at my school, received four academic merit based full-tuition scholarships to top ranked universities, scored in the 99th percentile on various standardized exams, was one of only thirteen young women invited to join the Illinois' Allstate Academic Team, had preemptively completed some of my college course work through a scholarship at University of Cambridge (UK), and received membership invitations to a multitude of honors societies. My academic aptitude accelerated in college, and I graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude among other accomplishments.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts from Emory University in 2023 with a double major in economics and political science. Prior to this, I graduated from Oxford College of Emory University with an Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts, where I had the opportunity to delve into a plethora of academic subjects. I am currently studying for the LSAT, and I plan to attend law school beginning in 2026. In high school, I began volunteer tutoring Algebra and English at my former middle school, and soon after, I began tutoring private clients in more complex mathematical subjects and more. While I am capable of tutoring almost anyone in a variety of subjects, I specialize in tutoring economics, government, SAT preparation, and U.S. history. I also love helping students prepare for college admissions, whether it be advising students on how to approach teachers for recommendations or proof-reading your admissions essays. I firmly believe in tailoring my tutoring towards the needs and learning styles of my clients, as everyone learns in their own niche way. In my free time, I enjoy trivia competitions, learning about art history, collecting rare books, and hanging out with my cat and dog.

My name is Rachel and I am a recent graduate of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia with a 3.95/4.0 GPA. I majored in public health with a minor in political science. I will be attending the University of Michigan School of Public Health in the fall to get a degree in Health Management and Policy, and I am super excited! I am able to assist people in basic math, algebra, writing, editing, and study skills. I look forward to tutoring!

I have been tutoring in mathematics since my early years in high school. I first found my love of mathematics in Mr. Vreisman's classroom. He was my Algebra 1 teacher and encouraged me to continue to pursue the subject. His motto was, "Math is only as hard as you make it seem." He believed that most people had trouble in this subject because of the daunting stereotypes surrounding the difficulty of math. He proved us all wrong in that class. Ever since then, I adapted several different techniques and ways of teaching to encourage students to understand this thought process. My goal is help all of my clients understand that math is not hard, but getting out of the mentality that math is hard is where the difficulty lies.

My previous tutoring experience comes from tutoring students at my high school and at the Gideon Math and Reading Center. I often taught math topics that students were not able to understand or specific problems. The math topics were usually geometry or algebra 2 questions/concepts. I also taught ACT and PSAT concepts to students. I also often helped my friends and my sister with difficult math homework problems that were assigned. Math is my strong suit and therefore, I am most comfortable teaching these subjects well. However, in regards to sciences or English, I am knowledgeable in these subject areas as well.
