I am passionate about tutoring math and coding using a diverse education. Currently a sophomore at Northeastern University, studying Computer Science, I have firsthand experience working with different kinds of students. My teaching philosophy revolves around creating an interactive and student-centered environment, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and active participation. I firmly believe in the power of problem-based experiential learning, where students actively engage in solving real-world challenges. By presenting them with practical problems and guiding them through the process of finding solutions, students develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter and gain valuable problem-solving skills. I have worked with all kinds of Math and I specialize in Java as a software programmer

I graduated with a Master of Science in Analytical Chemistry at Northeastern University. I also have a Bachelor degree in Biochemistry from Clark University. And I received my IB diploma from UWC of the Pacific. I am excited to tutor in Chemistry and in French. Looking forward to working with you!

I'm excited to be a tutor here at Varsity Tutors. I'm a very patient teacher who believes strongly in understanding the "why" behind each topic in order to understand how to solve the problems that a student will face as he/she progresses through a class. Problem-solving skills are a major emphasis in my teachings, as that can streamline the application of knowledge on a test or quiz. I hold a degree in Criminal Justice and am pursuing an additional degree in Computer Science. In my spare time, I'm an avid baseball fan (go Yankees!), movie buff, and bookworm. I enjoy working on my computer and spending time with my fiancé on the weekends.

I am currently a sophomore at Northeastern University pursuing a BA in Computer Science. I enjoy tutoring because I love being able to help students learn more, I want to share some of the knowledge that I've acquired, and because I genuinely find the work very rewarding. I have been teaching and tutoring informally for many years now, sometimes through established positions, but more often out of goodwill.I am a member of the Northeastern Downbeats, a co-ed a cappella group on campus. In the past, I played on my high school's ultimate frisbee team and captained my high school's badminton team. In my free time, I enjoy playing piano, watching TV, or playing board games.

As an instructor, I believe that mastery is best served when students can find their stride. A tutor, or any instructor for that matter, should not only clarify difficult concepts, but help encourage an interest in the subject studied overall. Finding the best way to develop that interest begins with determining how best to grapple with difficulties. In so doing, I hope to spur students to a larger, surer understanding of the subjects they study.

I have over a decade of experience as an educator and I've worked with students of all ages. I am certified as both English Language Arts for grades 7-12 and ESL for grades K-12. I earned my graduate degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages from New York University. I am passionate about teaching and believe in challenging my students while giving them the support they need to grow.

I recently graduated from Bard College at Simon's Rock with a BA in Physics and Visual Studies. My research areas in Physics include quantum optics and geophysics, particularly about entanglement and the Earth's inner core, respectively. My focus in Visual Studies is lens arts and film studies with a strong lean towards formalism. The two disciplines may seem very unrelated to you, but it is the combination of the two that makes me a great student and teacher! A few fun facts about my college experience: I actually finished high school in 3 years and began college a year earlier than usual, and I studied abroad in Scotland (University of Glasgow) and the Czech Republic (Film Academy of Prague) during my junior year!My teaching experience include peer tutoring during my college years, working with both individual students and entire classes on college-level physics, math, and Spanish. Just after receiving my BA, I designed and taught my first full course on Climate Change at the 10th grade level. We covered all sorts of material, including the Physics and Chemistry of the atmosphere and ocean, all the way to a Model UN simulation to discuss global policies!I am moving onto a PhD program in Physics at Northeastern University, but I hope to continue to teaching throughout and after the program. I love helping students reach their potential. The pride and joy of watching my students come to an understanding with new concepts, develop a love for new disciplines, and find passion for learning -- it is the most beautiful thing I have experienced. And it's all thanks to you, the amazing, bright, and motivated students!

My hometown is Houston, TX but I'm currently living in Boston, MA as an undergraduate at Northeastern University. I'm pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, so I'm definitely not unfamiliar with mathematics. I love math and I hope I can share the sentiment! I understand that everyone learns differently, and I'm excited to help find what works best. As an undergraduate, I hope to create a stronger relationship and build trust as I guide you through the nuances of math.

I am a student at Northeastern University, working towards a Bachelor's degree in Economics and Political Science. During my high school career, I took part extensively in the dual enrollment programs of local community colleges, meaning I graduated high school and entered college with an Associates degree. During my high school years, I also prepared extensively for the SAT, giving me extensive knowledge of the test and various test-taking strategies. Due to this knowledge, and personal experience tutoring some of my friends, I primarily tutor for the SAT. I always have my students take diagnostic tests for each section, preferably before we meet, so that I have a good idea of what their strengths and weaknesses are and we can really hone in on their problem areas. In my free time, I enjoy reading various historical tracts, writing passionately, and biking.

As a former student that has completed both undergraduate and graduate courses, I can understand the need to reach out for help and desire to develop understanding in learning. I want to leverage eight years of international teaching and business experience to help students achieve your goals.

I wasn't the best student in middle school, so I learned how to study to succeed. I like to tutor kids by teaching them some tricks and skills they'll be able to use and remember for months after our session.

I'm a cultural historian and doctoral candidate who tutors AP U.S., European, and World History, as well as writing. My humanities-based approach emphasizes close reading, interpretation, and analytical thinking. I help students break down complex material, build strong arguments, and turn what they know into clear, confident answers for DBQs, essays, and exams.

In my experience, I have learned how important it is for help in my studies. Now that I have gained some experience and knowledge, I want to give back by making myself available to help others. I am currently a freshman in college. I can tutor pretty much any math and physics, two subjects that I enjoy a lot.

I'm a Northeastern Graduate with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a Minor in math. I'm particularly passionate about 3D-Printing, aerospace, and mechanical design. I'm a highly motivated team player, and I strive to find challenging work that allows me to use all facets of my skillset.I love Math! It has always been my favorite subject, and I enjoy both learning about new concepts and sharing/teaching the ones I'm familiar with. I especially like calculus - its the language of change, and something fundamental to so many other exciting parts of math!My work experience includes using CAD and FEA programs to design and test complex parts, using Python for data analysis, and solving challenging problems in creative ways.

I earned my B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies (with a double minor in Human Resource Development and Communication) from Northeastern Illinois University in May 2014. I am currently pursuing an MA in Human Resource Development from the same school. During my undergraduate coursework, I worked in the Center for Academic Writing as a peer tutor for students taking the writing intensive course required for degree completion. I tutored traditional college students as well as older adult college students. Many of the learners I had the opportunity to empower were ESL/ELL students. I am available to tutor in subjects related to writing and essay writing, such as composition, grammar and mechanics, and editing. I am able to help you with public speaking: preparing a speech, preparing yourself to deliver the speech, tips and trick for grabbing your audience's attention, when and how to engage your audience, and closing effectively. I base my tutoring style on a philosophy that communication (written and verbal) is key in our ability to productively engage in the world around us. It is my goal to empower learners with the ability to communicate effectively, by helping them to "find the story" and communicate it in a way that makes sense to others. I enjoy showing others how putting the story down in writing can be started using words and building upon them until they become a flow of organized thoughts and ideas. One of my greatest abilities is to help others conquer their fear of writing papers by showing them ways to organize the key concepts involved in effective essay writing and public speaking. Last, but not least, I can help you organize your study materials for coursework and exams and offer tips for effective study methods, based on your preferred learning style. In addition to tutoring and taking graduate classes, I am the treasurer and a board member for a small non-profit organization. My family and I grow many of our own organic produce in the spring through fall months in raised garden beds we built in our backyard. I love to explore the city for new restaurants and local businesses, so walk and take public transportation whenever I can.

After completing dual Bachelors' degrees in History and French Language and Literature at Boston University, I went on to obtain a Master's degree in History at Northeastern University. I currently work in the museum field and decided to get in to tutoring in order to share my love of learning with students and to keep my French language skills sharp.

I am a recent high school graduate who scored into the 1500's on the new digital SAT, and I specialize in helping students succeed on the SAT Math, Reading, and Writing sections. Having taken the new version of the exam myself, I know exactly how it worksand I have developed unique strategies that helped me boost my own score by 60 points. I bring those same techniques to my students, helping them improve quickly and efficiently. With over 200 hours of tutoring experience, I have worked with middle and high school students in a wide range of subjects, including English, math, biology, and even LEGO robotics. I've earned 4s and 5s on: AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, AP English Language, AP Biology, AP Macroeconomics, AP Microeconomics, AP Psychology, and AP Physics 1. My sessions blend subject mastery with strategic test prep. My approach is personalized, supportive, and results-driven. I focus on identifying each student's strengths and weaknesses, filling in content gaps, and teaching proven test-taking strategies that build confidence and maximize scores. Whether you are just getting started or aiming for a top percentile score, I am here to guide you every step of the way.

I am a graduate of Northeastern University, where I majored in Biochemistry and minored in Literature and Psychology. I grew up just outside of Worcester, MA, and I have tutored for several years. I started tutoring ninth-grade Biology when I was in tenth grade, continued with elementary school children in Reading, Math and Science, and most recently I tutored high school students in Boston in Chemistry, Pre-calculus and Algebra. I have always loved math and science. I tend to think of complex scientific concepts in words that I can actually understand, and many of my pupils tell me that I explain them better than their teachers, which is why I am so passionate about tutoring. I am currently applying to medical school, and a friend of mine asked me to help him prepare for the MCAT after he learned my score, and his practice scores have increased as a result. I am also a trained and certified EMT working in the greater Boston area. In my free time I train for my next marathon, play soccer and read.

I'm a recent graduate from Northeastern University. I studied finance and data science at Northeastern and have completely multiple internships in consulting at companies like PwC and FTI Consulting. I've remained a strong student throughout my time in high school and college, and I've tutored and mentored hundreds of kids through my university. I fully believe that any student can learn any concept with the right amount of patience and a determined mindset.

When I was growing up, I had the fortune of having motivated, enthusiastic teachers that made the experience of learning something that I looked forward to every day. My one goal is to impart the same positive emotions that I developed towards knowledge onto the next generation of learners.

I'm passionate about education and am particularly knowledgeable about topics in social sciences and humanities. I currently work with youth with disabilities providing transition services and I have experience teaching from early education through college instruction. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Northeastern University in Boston and hold a BS in Human Services and Political Science. I am most excited about topics like history, government, psychology, political science, and writing since they allow us to understand and analyze the world and society we interact with.

Here to hep with understanding Math, Science, and Mechanical Engineering! I'm also great at explaining the real world context behind what students are learning and how they'll use it in the future.

Hello! I'm Adri, a recent Mechanical Engineering graduate from Northeastern University. With 7 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in: Mathematics: All levels including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, and beyond. Physics: AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, and College-Level Physics Mechanical Engineering: Statics, Dynamics, Thermodynamics, and Heat Transfer SAT Preparation: All sections of the SAT, plus Math and Physics Subject Tests. I take a hands-on approach to tutoring, making sure students not only understand the material but can also apply it confidently. I have successfully helped students improve their grades, boost test scores, and master complex concepts.

I am originally from South San Francisco, California. Shortly after obtaining my bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering from University of California, Riverside, I worked as a manufacturing specialist with the world's leading pharmaceutical company. I spent some time there understanding how I wanted to use the experience and my education to promote public health and medical technology. Such questioning led me to Boston. I am currently pursuing my master's in Regulatory Affairs at Northeastern University in hopes of developing breakthrough medical technology with quality, safety, and effectiveness.My tutoring experiences range from formal/professional sessions with clients to informal meetings with classmates. I worked as a pre-calculus tutor for one year. I have participated in many after-school recreation programs which included tutoring a large variety of subjects. During my undergraduate studies, I would typically hold informal classes on subjects I strongly understood with friends and colleagues. Lastly, I spent one summer teaching the basics of engineering to elementary and middle school student via hands-on projects, using real-life tools.I love to teach math (up through Calculus) and science (Biochemistry, Biology) because it is challenging. I noticed most students have a hard time with STEM subjects. However, I believe that everything is possible. I feel that the mastery of a subject is dependent on how it was presented and the limitations you have placed on yourself. My teaching style varies with the student. I like to use many examples, pictures, videos, and funny stories that can help the student apply the concept to in-life situations. I believe when the subject is placed in perspective, there is much more understanding.When I am not interpreting legislations and reading about breakthrough medical devices, I enjoy the outdoors. I love to spend time relaxing on the beach, take light hikes, and long bike rides. When I am indoors, I enjoy watching full seasons (using in one day) of the latest shows. I spend most of my free time catching up with friends, sleeping, and taking it one day at a time.

My name is Anthony and I am a freshman at Northeastern University. I am currently studying Psychology on a Pre-Med track. Even though my studies are heavily science-based, I enjoy all other subjects, as well. I tutored in high school as Vice-President of the National Honor Society and I am looking forward to continuing my passion for helping others through tutoring.

I am a rising third year student at Northeastern University, studying for a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies and a minor in Music Recording. I have been unofficially tutoring my younger sister for several years, and I first began more seriously tutoring in high school when my friends and peers needed assistance. I am very passionate about singing and songwriting, and hope to make a career out of it one day. I am also passionate about writing, and hope to use my knowledge and skills to help others in their writing and English endeavors: academic or otherwise!

Hello! My name is Natalia and I'm currently a college student studying engineering. A little about me: I was born in Spain, so I'm fluent in Spanish and I especially love all things math. In terms of experience, I feel like I have been tutoring all my life. I've been helping out my friends in school (and in college) since I can remember, and I was a math tutor through the math club at my high school for 2 years. I'm a patient, friendly person ready to help out fellow students!

I am a graduate of Northeastern University located in Boston, Massachusetts. I received my Bachelor of Science Biochemistry with a focus on pre-medical studies. I had the chance to work as a Teacher's Assistant (TA) for my entire senior year. I had the opportunity to run five lab sections of General Biology 1 at Northeastern University. I was given a lot of responsibility as I was the only instructor in the room during the labs and in charge of teaching the experiments to 30 students at a time, providing a brief lesson related to the experiment, demonstrating, and guiding the students through the experiments, grading all lab reports, creating and grading all pre- and post-lab quizzes, and holding office hours to tutor students who were struggling. This role single-handedly sparked my passion for teaching and tutoring!After graduating, I worked as a clinical research assistant in the Integrative Rheumatology and Orthopedic Center at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. After working in this role for two years after graduation, I entered medical school at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, an MD program in Camden, New Jersey.Since beginning medical school, I have become extensively involved in teaching and mentorship programs for the local youth of the underserved Camden area. I also currently work as a self-employed tutor, and I currently work with additional private clients of all ages. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Human Biology, Genetics, Anatomy, and Physiology.I believe in making every experience a learning experience, and my passion is to give my students the confidence and skills to tackle difficult material. I have a holistic approach, using multiple methods of teaching, including visual aids, mnemonics, memory hooks, videos, practice questions, and even having the student repeat back to me the material he or she has just learned. As a future physician, I try to focus on the real-life relevance of all the material we learn, and always bring the textbook material to situations outside the classroom. As someone who is a non-traditional learner, I exercise patience, understanding, flexibility to accommodate each student's individual learning style. As a wellness and mental-health advocate, try to understand the student's headspace, as I understand how stressful and high-pressure school can be. During my sessions, I will always make time for teaching mindfulness exercises and test-taking anxiety mitigation tips to help my students succeed in all realms of education!In my spare time, I enjoy, pilates, running, field hockey, and traveling the world!

With over 5 years of tutoring and classroom experience, I specialize in College English, English Grammar and Syntax, Marketing, Social Networking, and Tableau. My teaching philosophy centers on creating engaging, interactive lessons that cater to diverse learning styles, ensuring that each student feels valued and capable of success. I find immense joy in helping students develop their skills and confidence, and I am committed to guiding them through their academic journeys. Outside of teaching, I enjoy exploring new technology and reading, which continually enrich my approach to education.

I am a graduate of Northeastern University, with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry degree. Since graduation, I have worked in the Pharmaceutical industry. I have had the wonderful opportunity to travel both domestically and internationally, which has given me the ability to interact with people from many different walks of life. During High School and College, I tutored my peers in a range of subjects including SAT prep, English, Math, Biology, and Chemistry. I am most passionate about Life Sciences. However, I'm a stickler for proper grammar which is very suitable when it comes to helping students with their SAT prep or English studies. I am a firm proponent of education, knowing that it is vital for an improved quality of life. I try to impart this philosophy to all of my students while still maintaining a fun, positive environment for them to master the subject areas they are developing. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking and practicing yoga.

I am a graduating senior at Northeastern University working toward a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. I have more than a year's experience of substitute teaching for grades K-12, and I have taught in less formal settings as a camp counselor, a youth mentor, and a captain on sports teams. I find great joy in teaching and helping others, and I especially enjoy helping people with their writing skills or ACT/SAT prep. I wholeheartedly believe that everybody deserves access to the most effective education and that learning is a lifelong experience, and I hope that my students grow to believe the same. By treating students with respect and attempting to truly make a connection with them, I get the privilege of seeing the enthusiasm light up in their eyes, which is a wonderful feeling. In my spare time, I love reading, writing, running, exploring the outdoors, and watching and playing all kinds of sports (especially Ultimate Frisbee and ice hockey).

I believe the fundamental goal of teaching is to foster learning. Learning takes place in many different contexts. Although everyone is capable of learning, a student's desire to learn is a vital pre-condition to effectively master new concepts and skills. I feel I can influence a student's desire to absorb information by understanding their learning style. People have multiple learning styles: some learn best in lecture atmospheres, some are more engaged by discussion, and others absorb knowledge best when they read and reflect on what they have read. The classroom setting can encourage or inhibit learning depending on the dominant learning style of each student. Accommodating different learning styles creates an atmosphere that is conducive to learning.In addition to addressing different learning styles, flexibility is also a critical component to teaching. As an instructor, it is my job to ensure that learning is taking place all the time which is accomplished by breaking down barriers and observing my student's behaviors. While being prepared for class is critical, it is important to be able to deviate from the plan in order to ensure learning is taking place. No two students or classes are the same and what worked for one class may not be as effective for another class. Even from one class session to another, their mood can change. Students have a lot of on their plate, and sometimes they will come to class energized while other days they may be disengaged. I feel it is my job to identify these moments and adapt the lessons to re-engage them, maximizing our learning opportunities.I see my job as a facilitator because I am creating an atmosphere of learning by guiding students and encouraging their participation through both in-class discussions and online discussion boards. I encourage learning by creating a relaxed environment for students, stimulating conversation about concepts being presented, and organizing material in a way that makes it easiest to understand. I treat subject matter as interconnected, emphasizing that everything students are learning fits together into a holistic understanding of the world, from which they develop their own personal worldview. This approach is accomplished by bringing in real world projects to my classes. When students work on a project that connects to the course material but also has real-life practicality, they put greater effort into their final product. They appreciate the chance to work on something that will be used by an organization (e.g., Submitting real grant applications) rather than just filed away or discarded.One of the most important concepts I hope to impart to students is that learning is a process that never ends. For me, the learning process includes improving myself professionally. I want to read more about formal learning theories to expand my understanding of how learning takes place. As I continue to instruct classes, I also aim to enhance my comfort and confidence in front of classrooms and audiences. Finally, I plan to experiment with different methods and means of presenting information to classes in order to improve the learning atmosphere I create for my students. I continue to grow my professional network and share best practices with colleagues whenever possible in an order to keep my material relevant and adapt with the times."Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."- W.B. Yeats

I am currently working towards finishing my medical residency in psychiatry and hope to specialize in child /adolescent psychiatry .I believe a good education is the foundation necessary to excel in our professional life and it is a privilege for me to work with the scholars of tomorrow to help them achieve their goals. Throughout my college career at Northeastern University in Boston I have always found time to get involved with teaching opportunities. I was a tutor at a Health Sciences Academy after school program where I spend time working with 9th and 10th graders on activities such as their homework, science projects, and computer labs. I have also worked with a younger age group as a member of a pre-school Head Start program and engaged the children in activities such as introduction to reading and writing, play-time, and development of social skills. After college, I worked as a teacher at a facility geared towards developing cognitive and functional skills in adults with various mental health issues. I have had the pleasure of working with clients of varying age groups and skills. My experiences have always been rewarding and teaching has remained one of my passions to this day.My philosophy when it comes to teaching revolves around preparedness, patience, and empathy. I believe that there is no subject one cannot learn with enough time and effort. I enjoy teaching various subjects such as Biology, Physiology, and Psychology. Regardless of the subject matter I first analyze the student’s strength and weaknesses and develop my curriculum to best suit the students needs. I believe there is always a way to teach even the most complicated material in a palatable manner. Also, as a future physician, I have well-developed interpersonal skills so I always take into account the feedback and emotional needs of my client. I strive to achieve the most nurturing and productive learning environment and gage my success by my client’s eagerness to learn and master the subject at hand. Lastly, I believe that learning should be fun and successes celebrated so that as the student continues on his journey of academic pursuit he will have a sense of pride and knowledge that no goal is unattainable. I look forward to joining you in this journey and making your academic goals a reality

I am a Northeastern University graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Psychology. I focus on tutoring math and SAT. Throughout my years, I have aided peers, friends, and other students in all levels of math. Mathematics is my favorite to tutor because it has always been fun and something that can be explained in a multitude of ways. Math makes sense and I love numbers and hope to instill this in my students. I would describe my teaching style as fun but stern. I tend to do a variety of questions but am aware of when students need breaks. I believe in active listening and communication, and incorporate this belief into my tutoring style.

Mark's teaching journey began while he was getting his bachelor's degree in elementary education and computer science from Boston College. After landing his first job in the Boston public school system, he knew he was in it for the long haul! He has kept this first job for 23 years, even while he was earning his master's degree in teaching and math from Northeastern University. He is currently working in a new position in Natick, MA.Mark's tutoring style is centered on empathy. When working with students, he asks himself: "If I know nothing about this, how would I present this so it could make sense to the weakest performing student?" He gathers as much information about his students' learning styles as possible in order to plan the best path forward. Spontaneity and humor are also tools in his teaching repertoire. "Humor is essential for helping people overcome obstacles, in learning and in life," he says.While in college, Mark taught at a private learning center for children who struggle with learning differences. He also nurtured his love of film, music, and sports.Self-Bio:Graduated from Boston College with a double major in education and math/computer science. He then completed his masters degree at Northeastern University with a concentration in mathematics and teaching. He has been a teacher in the Boston Public Schools for the past 23 years in the area of mathematics. He has held positions such as department head and has worked with many types of students.

I am currently studying Computer Engineering and Computer Science at Northeastern University. I have always loved the sciences, and through my courses in college I have also gained a huge appreciation for math, and especially calculus. I find that teaching concepts I've learned is the best way to truly cement my understanding of it. One of the most satisfying moments for me is when an idea finally "clicks" for a student and they suddenly understand the material much better. I always strive to make that happen. While in high school, I gained a year experience tutoring a classmate in AP Biology. In college I have aced my math courses, including Calculus 1 (differential) and Calculus 2 (integral). I earned very high scores on the ACT by practicing on my own and I consider myself a very good test taker, so I understand the techniques to get high scores on tests.

As an Industrial Engineer currently completing a Master of Science in Human Factors Engineering, I bring a strong analytical foundation in mathematics, statistics, engineering, and data science. I am passionate about helping people develop the confidence and problem-solving skills necessary for success. Teaching has been a central part of my life since I was 16 years old. I began by coaching young gymnasts, where I learned the importance of patience and adaptability. Since then, I have expanded my teaching experience to include percussion instruction as well as tutoring college-level technical subjects such as linear and matrix algebra, experimental design, and discrete event simulation modeling. I believe that education is most effective when students are actively engaged while learning. By combining my technical background with years of teaching experience, I aim to help students build the skills to succeed independently.

My name is James and I am a high school math and science teacher at Arlington High School.
