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'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.

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 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!

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.

MS Northeastern University • BA Northeastern Illinois University
8+ Years Tutoring

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.

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.

Heidi
MS University of Phoenix-Boston Campus • BA Northeastern University
9+ Years Tutoring

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 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 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.

Sean
MS Northeastern University • MS Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who attended or graduated from Northeastern University, bringing firsthand knowledge of the university's rigorous curriculum and academic standards. These tutors understand the specific challenges of Northeastern's coursework, from engineering and computer science to business and health sciences, and can provide insights that go beyond standard textbook explanations. Their experience navigating Northeastern's demanding academics makes them exceptionally well-equipped to help students master complex material.

Alumni tutors bring practical perspective to your learning because they've successfully completed the exact courses and challenges you're facing. They can share study strategies that worked for them, explain how concepts connect across your major, and help you understand what professors emphasize most. Beyond academics, they can offer advice on how to balance Northeastern's co-op program, research opportunities, and coursework—giving you a mentor who truly understands your student experience.

Given Northeastern's strength in engineering, computer science, mathematics, and business, tutors with a Northeastern background are particularly skilled in these areas. However, Varsity Tutors connects students with alumni across all disciplines—including sciences, humanities, health professions, and more. Whether you need help with advanced calculus, programming fundamentals, organic chemistry, or business strategy, you can get matched with a tutor whose Northeastern education prepared them to explain these subjects clearly and thoroughly.

Yes. Tutors who graduated from Northeastern understand the types of problems, question formats, and expectations in Northeastern courses and exams. They can help you prepare for midterms, finals, and cumulative assessments by walking through real problem-solving strategies and identifying concepts that commonly appear on tests. If you're preparing for professional exams related to your major—like engineering licensing exams, MCAT preparation for health-professions tracks, or CPA exams for accounting students—alumni tutors can provide targeted guidance based on their own preparation experience.

One of the biggest challenges for Northeastern students is managing the co-op program alongside demanding courses. Alumni tutors have navigated this exact schedule themselves and can offer practical advice on how to stay on top of material before, during, and after your co-op rotations. They understand the unique time-management pressures you face and can help you prioritize, catch up efficiently, and build strong foundations in courses that matter most for your career path—based on real experience with balancing both commitments.

Varsity Tutors makes it easy to find the right match. You simply tell us your subject, your current level, and your goals—and we connect you with a tutor who has the Northeastern background and expertise you're looking for. The matching process considers your specific needs, scheduling preferences, and learning style, so you work with someone who's genuinely equipped to help you succeed.

Research shows that personalized 1-on-1 instruction is one of the most effective ways to learn, because tutoring adapts to your pace, fills your specific knowledge gaps, and gives you immediate feedback. When your tutor is a Northeastern alumnus, you add another powerful layer: they know the university's expectations, can anticipate where students typically struggle, and can connect course material to real applications they've experienced. This combination of personalized instruction plus insider knowledge creates a learning experience tailored exactly to your needs.
