Award-Winning Tutors from New York University

I am a recent graduate of NYU with a major in Teaching Social Studies Education (Grades 7-12) and a minor in Psychology who is passionate about creating equitable learning opportunities and inspiring learners' academic curiosity. I also have a NYS teaching license.

I am currently a recent M.S. graduate in Speech-Language Pathology. My clinical experiences with various populations, both children and adults, have taught me the importance of creativity and personalizing session. I am dedicated to motivate each student to reach his/her personal goals, and adapt to each students interests through the learning process.I have 6 years of experience working children in the special education setting. I previously worked as in teacher assistant in both the preschool and elementary school. My duties included monitoring classroom, preparing activities, encouraging the growth of ADL skills, as well as support their motor, speech and language, and academic development. I found my experiences in this setting both enlightening and rewarding. This fostered my passion to pursue speech-language pathology.My tutoring experiences include both young students and adults. During my undergraduate career at Stony Brook University, I tutored international students in English for more than a year. I was also a teacher assistant for 100 students in an Intro to Linguistics class, where I held review sessions and made worksheets. I have also had experiences tutoring 3rd grade and 7th grade students, individually and in the group setting. I primarily tutored in the subject of elementary mathematics and algebra.In addition, I have also tutored both 1st and 2nd grade classrooms for two years at a NYC DOE school in the Lower East Side. I have become familiar with the Common Core curriculum. I primarily assisted students throughout a variety of academic subjects, such as reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. It was beautiful to watch students of all academic levels reach their own milestones over these two years. I learned so much about how each student approached the different aspects of the common core curriculum, as well as their learning styles. I encouraged each student to celebrate even their smallest achievements, and was touched by the amount of curiosity and passion students developed in the classroom setting.As a continuous learner myself, I have compassion, patience, and empathy for students who may find difficulty in understanding particular subjects and content. When I heard of Varsity Tutors from a colleague, I was encouraged and eager to share my passion of teaching, motivating, and challenging others in each students academic journey. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to meeting you soon!

I am a Junior studying biology and philosophy at NYU College of Arts and Sciences. I have always been interested in a fundamental understanding of how things work and my place in it and these two subjects are how I frame that understanding. I love teaching people new things and I hope to get the chance to help people in the process.I have lived in New York most of my life and attended Stuyvesant High School.

I am a native French speaker from Paris, France. I love to share my knowledge and experience of the French language and culture. I have taught and tutored children and adults from introduction to French to more advanced levels and can help you improve your AP Test scores. I have also helped adults prepare themselves for trips to French speaking countries.I believe that communication starts with the correct pronunciation in order to understand and be understood. Therefore I make a point of teaching my students how to correctly pronounce words which can be somewhat difficult for Anglophones. I also emphasize on teaching the language and culture using authentic sources to gain a fuller understanding and appreciation of the various French-speaking countries in the world. When I don't travel to France, I rely on various media to stay in touch with the French culture and current events.I am patient and resourceful and would like to help you succeed!

My experience encompasses both private tutoring and formal teaching. At the University of Richmond, I taught biweekly revision classes as part of the official French 221 course. My responsibilities included planning lessons covering grammar, vocabulary, and culture. During this same year I provided tutoring in French 221 to five student athletes. I worked with them four nights a week to review lessons, answer homework questions, and prepare for upcoming exams. In addition to my experience tutoring and teaching French, I have also served as a volunteer English as a Second Language teacher to adult immigrants in Richmond, VA. I spent the past year working as an English Language Assistant for the French Ministry of Education. My role as a language assistant involved leading small group discussions and creating original, culture and vocabulary-based lessons for English students in a vocational high school and general middle school. During this year I also provided private one-on-one tutoring to a French adult looking to improve his English listening and speaking skills.I enjoy teaching and tutoring because it allows me to share my passion for the French language. I particularly enjoy adapting my instruction to individual learning styles to best meet a student's needs and to see their knowledge of the language progress and expand. Seeing an individual make personal connections with the language and seeing the language take root in an individual's worldview or academic path are the most rewarding aspects of tutoring. For those reasons, I remain extremely dedicated to helping an individual meet their personal goals. At the same time, I recognize that learning a language is not a linear process. Therefore, I remain flexible to experimenting with multiple approaches to see which is the best fit.

As the eldest sibling in my family, I naturally grew into the role of helping my younger sister and her friends with their homework. Before long, my parents suggested that since I was already helping her, why not assist some of their friends as well? And just like that, my teaching journey began. As a kid, I went from tutoring family friends to, later in high school, volunteering to tutor kids with disabilities in math. Now, in college, I tutor several children ranging from elementary to early high school in subjects like English, math, science, and social studies. Through these experiences, I've discovered a profound joy in witnessing the expressions of understanding on their faces when a challenging problem finally makes sense. Their growth and learning fill me with a pride that surpasses even my academic achievements. I've come to realize that teaching is more than just sharing knowledgeit's about nurturing confidence and curiosity in others. My goal is to help as many kids as possible, teaching them not just concepts but also how to believe in their abilities and embrace growth.

I am a student at New York University, pursuing a Bachelor's degree in physics and musical theatre. Prior to university, I coached a local public speaking team and taught as a section instructor for the front ensemble of a local marching band in my hometown in Michigan. Currently, I assist my fellow peers in learning any subject from calculus to music theory. I have a love for both the hard sciences and the arts; I am most passionate about tutoring in math, percussion performance, music theory, and public speaking. I deeply believe every student is brilliant and capable of mastering any subject, and my mission is to unlock every student's potential. In my spare time, I enjoy theatre and classical music, reading, and watching a bout of fencing.

I graduate from NYU in 2019 and begin to work as a financial consultant. I work as academic tutor for economic students since undergraduate. I am always passionate about delivering what I know to students and help them succeed in their career

With my background in theatre and education, I believe that creativity is key to discovering the most effective learning tools for each individual student. No two learners are alike, so I think it is important to approach learning as an exploration. I am committed to engaging students on this journey of self discovery that is learning, and finding the tools that best work for them.Outside of tutoring, I am a theatre artist and a writer. I've performed at venues all over New York, and my work has been produced by several theatre companies. For fun, I love to dance, cook, and go hiking!

Hello! I am Matthew, a former Wall Street analyst and university professor with an NYU Stern MBA in Accounting and Quantitative Finance, CFA Level I, and five FINRA securities licenses. My teaching philosophy is simple. I find exactly where you are stuck and rebuild the concept from there using real world examples, not academic jargon, so the material stays with you long after the exam. If you are convinced you are just not a numbers person, that is exactly the situation I enjoy working through.

I've been a data fanatic from an early age my high school Math League won state competitions (so you can say I'm a Mathlete!). I have also been known to associate street patterns to functions and derive equations to pass time. More importantly, I've worked as a math tutor while in high school and while working towards my BA in Mathematics at the College of Saint Elizabeth. I earned my Master in Public Administration (MPA) from New York University and have worked for the past 10 years in non-profits and city government. In addition, I taught statistics as an adjunct mathematics professor at the college level.I find so much joy in helping students find their love for math. When I served as a professor, nearly all of my undergraduate students were taking the course to complete their minimum mathematics requirement. Most of them had a self-prescribed phobia of math. By the end of the course, they were able to calculate standard deviations, perform regressions and understand the meaning of correlation.In addition, as a policy analyst and project manager, I understand the value of removing the stigma behind data and its usefulness for those who don't have the same love for numbers as I do. I've been able to perform complex data analysis and interpret the findings for colleagues and senior leadership to inform their policy decisions and improve program operations.In my free time, I enjoy travel, running, yoga, and rock climbing.

I'm a board certified Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of nursing experience and a background in clinical practice and nursing education. As an adjunct nursing faculty member, I help students understand challenging concepts, strengthen clinical reasoning, and prepare for NCLEX style questions and exams. My teaching style is supportive, patient, and practical, with a focus on breaking complex nursing concepts into clear, manageable steps.

I am a graduate of New York University where I received my Master's of Arts in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. Since graduation, I have taught young children, worked in admissions, volunteered teaching time in math and English to high school students, and raised a family. I am certified to help people of all ages with their organization demands: can you organize your work day more effectively, how can my child balance all her activities and achieve in school? I tutor a broad range of subjects but I most enjoy math and writing. In both math and writing there's room for discussion. Unlike the classroom approach, in tutoring we get to take the time to discuss "how and why." How did you get that answer? "How" leads us to thinking and discussing strategies and a general openness to learning. "Why" helps us think more critically about our decisions. Sometimes that makes a learner make a new decision on her own. These prompts are wonderful seques into important conversations where we learn about each other more. For example, they might learn about me and my cat, or my love of gardening or pizza Sundays (especially when we study fractions!). My boy students love to talk about sports with me and are always surprised to hear that I watched the same game as they did. It's amazing how much fun we can have studying together!

Hi! I am a Senior in English Education at New York University. I love to teach and I look forward to working with you!

I am currently a rising sophomore in the College of Arts and Science at New York University (NYU). I'm a pre-health student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Neural Science. I have the most experience tutoring at the high school level; I actively participated in three tutoring programs at my high school and was appointed through my academic performance. Almost all math subjects, especially Algebra and Calculus, are really enjoyable for me to tutor because I love sharing my experiences and seeing students gain confidence in their abilities! Chemistry is a close second mostly because I am currently studying the material for the third time since my sophomore year of high school.I want my students to feel comfortable telling me their expectations for what exactly they hope to gain from me and our session. The student's learning style has the highest priority, and I experiment with teaching methods to see what works best. Every academic discipline equally contributes to the development of a well-rounded and aware individual, so I try to communicate that the knowledge each student stands to gain is incredibly important for their present and future.When I'm not in class, I am actively involved in my college's student council and mentoring program. Also, I enjoy trying new restaurants, exercising, reading, and listening to music.

I am currently a sophomore at NYU, majoring in Neuroscience, on the pre-Health track. I grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts and graduated from Lexington High School in 2016. Currently, I work as a research assistant in Brigham and Women's Hospital, where we study clinical pain management. I am also an instructor at the Lexington Debate Institute and have had experience instructing debate camp for two years.

I tutor because there is so much to learn in the world, and learning should not be done alone. Education is the best way to open up the world for yourself, and it has to start somewhere - in school, a tutoring session, traveling, making mistakes, reading, and just experiencing life!

Hi there!My name is Ren. I graduated from NYU cum laude two years ago, and currently I'm working full time in a finance firm in midtown. I've been tutoring since I was in high school. My strong suits are math and Chinese (a little stereotypical, I know. But I can't change what I'm good at!).Now a little about my hobbies... I don't know anything about music, in fact I took an elementary piano lesson in my last semester of university, and received a B- for it! Turned out to be the worst grade in my student history, and robbed me of my Magna Cum Laude by 0.003 points! Still bitter? Yes.I love travelling and I've studied abroad two times. So far I've been to around 10 countries. I speak English, Chinese, and Italian.

I recently graduated from New York University with a B.A. in Economics and minors in Business Studies and Mathematics. I've spent the last five years teaching students in subjects ranging from music to math, and I love helping people build confidence in areas they once found intimidating. Math wasn't something that came naturally to me at first. I struggled with it for years and only improved through persistence, practice, and learning how to approach problems in a way that actually made sense to me. Because of that experience, I understand how frustrating math can feeland how rewarding it is when things finally click. My goal as a tutor is not just to help students get the right answer, but to help them understand why it works, build confidence in their abilities, and develop the skills to tackle new problems on their own.

I have been a tutor with Varsity since December 2016. I tutored a number of students taking high school courses such as IB physics, Regents algebra, Advanced Placement Calculus AB and beginning Java programming.I have always been a good student in science and math. I have a Bachelors degree from Brown University in physics and a Masters in computer science from New York University. I have worked in the New York City school system teaching high school algebra. During college I taught Advanced Placement physics as a freelancer. Most recently I worked for an Internet marketing company in Manhattan, testing software.In tutoring, I like to present topics that have recently been taught in class, but also go over solving problems. I feel students should not wait until the last minute to start tutoring. If theres only time for 2 tutoring sessions before the final exam, it may be too late to excel. Also, I prefer if the student tells me the topic to go over in the session ahead of time. Then I can prepare a lesson on that topic. Im always willing to answer questions before starting, so you can know how I can help.

For the last year I have worked as a 6th and 7th grade English teacher at a small private school in Brooklyn. Before that, I worked in various editorial capacities in both print and online media. I am particularly interested in helping students with their reading and writing skills, though I am also happy to help with any test prep (SAT, GRE). I have worked with students age 7-18.

Any teacher should always strive to improve instruction and their understanding of the community in which they teach, the school, the classroom, their students, and themselves. After all, teaching is more than something we do; it is a part of who we are. Teaching is not just a job but also a way of life. I have been a teacher my whole life. Even when I was in elementary school, I would teach my brother and cousins addition and multiplication facts. Into high school, I shared my passion for mathematics by presenting and sharing mathematics to other students at the Al Kalfus Long Island Math Fair, and then supervising the Peer Tutoring Program through National Honor Society. In college, although not sure at first of my career path, I decided teaching mathematics was what I was good at and what I enjoyed doing, and something I needed to do. So, I assisted a middle school mathematics teacher in her classroom to start pursuing this career as well as learn more about the classroom structure and teacher techniques. Furthermore, I commuted to New Jersey every week to teach students mathematics at my grandmother’s learning center, started an internship with Chess-in-the-Schools to help them start their College Bound tutoring program, and tutored and graded for the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. However, I was interested in other ways of learning and teaching that were less traditional, and I became a site leader for an Alternative Breaks trip to Nicaragua for Public Health and Education and became a Resident Assistant at Lafayette Residence Hall. However, my interests and hobbies expand into many categories including playing piano and saxophone, doing gymnastics, participating in German culture, Bollywood and country music (I really like all genres though). I can solve a Rubik's cube in three minutes. I also speak Spanish, and I am from Wantagh, Long Island.

I graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in Secondary English Education. I am pursuing my MFA at New York University in Musical Theatre Writing. As an educator in the field of secondary English education for the past four years, I have learned that students first need a support system in order to achieve their own greatness. I hope to be at least a small part of that support system as well as a source of guidance for students who are in need.

I have tutored and/or taught mathematics to elementary, middle, and high school students over 20 years. I enjoy teaching high school mathematics the most, i.e. Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Precalculus, and Calculus. I am passionate about teaching mathematics because education is about students developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills by forming relationships with their peers and teachers. In my classroom, students learn best and develop those relationships in a safe, respectful, challenging environment that fosters inquiry, authentic experiences, collaboration, and provides appropriate support.

I'm passionate about helping children reach their full potential. I enjoy working with students and helping them get where they need to be for upcoming tests or important exams. I do this in a fun, enganging way tailored to each individual student. After working with me, I hope each student feels more confident in not only their knowledge but in themselves and their capability to learn new things.

I have a B.A. in English from Vassar College and an M.A. in Literature from NYU. My day job is at a big publishing house, and I really feel like I'm living the dream. Reading has always been a passion of mine, and I absolutely love working with books every day. I have worked as an editor, copywriter, and analyst, so I have a very practical understanding of the real-world benefits of reading and writing well. I love sharing my deep appreciation of literature and language with students. On the side, I am also a certified yoga instructor. I like to think that it keeps me flexible, both mentally and physically.I have experience tutoring students of all skill levels and ranging from 5th grade through college. My fields of expertise include test prep, writing, reading comprehension, French language, and grammar & mechanics. I think that every student benefits from a customized curriculum. Whether it is a problem of comprehension, poor time management, or just a lack of interest, I work with each student's particular challenges to help her/him perform as well as possible.

I'm a senior at the New York University Stern School of Business majoring in Finance and Economics and minoring in Comparative Literature. I have tutored throughout high school and college, focusing on the areas of SAT preparation and essay editing.

I am a certified music teacher, but I have been working with students in a variety of academic settings for almost 8 years. I understand the tools and strategies needed to tutor and guide students with their studies. I have been focusing on tutoring students one-on-one in the past few years. I look forward to working with you!

Hello! Thanks for reading. I have been tutoring youth aged 10 18 for over a decade, with experiences spanning New York, Memphis, Santa Fe and Baltimore. I received my BA in Urban Studies from New York University in 2009 and obtained my Master's of Science in Public Health Nutrition from Johns Hopkins University in 2013. I am also a Registered & Licensed Nutritionist currently based in Memphis, TN.My joy in tutoring comes from helping children and young adults evolve as learners. There is nothing more fulfilling than seeing a young person's aha moment and I strive to reach that moment with patience, humor, and creativity. Every person learns and engages differently, and it is crucial that a tutor be aware of, attuned to and prepared for those differences. I believe that tutoring is about growing minds and forging connections and I believe my long history of successful tutoring partnerships attests to that fact. In my free time, I enjoy reading, writing poetry, taking online Coursera classes (they're a great resource!), hiking, practicing yoga, and exploring new places.

Since I was in high school, I've always loved to teach. With my unique experience teaching 6th grade science and my four years of tutoring experience with students of all ages from K - 12, I look forward to helping you succeed. Currently, I am a sophomore at NYU studying computer and data science. Although math is a big part of my life given my major, science, history and English take up very big spaces in my life. I am a voracious reader, taking the time to expand my knowledge in a wide variety of subjects. Fun fact: I was initially a politics major until I became enamored with the way problem solving is presented in computer science! As a result of my wide variety of interests, I am versatile in tutoring any subject (my strength being English, History, and Math). Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding any consultation! I am here for your success.

Hi there! I'm Ms. Harada-Stone. I have been teaching for the last five years in Hawaii and New York. I also hold a Master's in teaching. Throughout my career, I have worked with all elementary grade levels. I can't wait to support your learning and help you to achieve!

I am a teacher with over 8 years of tutoring and classroom experience. I am passionate about personalizing my tutoring sessions to the student's needs and strengths.

I'm passionate about guiding students in the world of philosophy and the humanities more broadly. With 7 years of teaching experience at the college level and many years of tutoring outside of college, I know what it's like to be stuck and lost in navigating difficult concepts. I believe in guiding students in incremental and simple steps to more challenging material, and that every student can be successful.

Hello! My name is Amanda. I am a junior at NYU. I graduated from Minnetonka High School, which is in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am also a dog walker with Rover in my time outside of school. I love music (I play piano and flute) and the tv show New Girl. This past year I tutored 4th grade ELA and math, 6th grade ELA and math, pre-k, and SAT. I would love to work on something with you!

Patient and with a kind heart, let me help you tackle the challenges you are facing academically!

Hi! My name is Nathan and I'm currently a junior at New York University's Stern School of Business. I graduated from Staten Island Technical High School in 2016 and I am always looking to help and share my specialization in SHSAT, SAT, and Math!

I've been tutoring professionally in homes and in institutions (NYU) for over eight years now. I have a breadth of knowledge when it comes to the SHSAT and SAT and all levels of mathematics as I am an engineer by profession. I graduated from New York University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2014. Numbers are my thing :). I work at your pace where ever you may be.

I attend the prestigious New York University where I continue my studies toward a degree in Creative Writing and Marketing. As a former contributing writer and editor for The Source Magazine and Bleu Magazine, I have covered stories in art, culture and politics. Whenever I am not writing, I perform as a poet on the college circuit or mentor students in the art of writing and performing poetry as part of Citizen Schools - an after school apprenticeship program for middle school children. I aspire to one day become a professor in English and Literature in hopes of spreading my passion for language to the next generation of young minds. I hope to continue to connect people through the power of words and storytelling.

Hello! I'd like to be your tutor. My approach is grounded in a holistic method that sees writing as both a skill and a form of expression. I work with middle school, high school, and college students to strengthen expository and creative writing. With teaching experience at North Carolina State University, I guide students through the writing process while tailoring sessions to their needs, background, and interests, helping them foster identity, confidence, & a strong, authentic voice.

I'm a sociology student at New York University, and I've had 3+ years of professional experience as a teaching assistant and teaching aide for a range of elementary and high school students, primarily focused on English comprehension and literacy. I also have extensive experience in peer review and staying up to date with academic works. A strong and insightful learning experience speaks to your values, interests, and stories. I am knowledgeable and experienced in college admissions essays, general essay/writing guidance, ESL, English literacy & comprehension, and Korean conversational language learning. I'm invested in how we can accumulate who you can be!
