Award-Winning Tutors from Stanford University

With a Bachelor of Arts in chemistry from Rice University and a PhD in biophysical chemistry from Stanford University, I have passion for science and mathematics that I love to share as a teacher and tutor. I am firmly of the belief that learning a technical subject like chemistry, physics, or math is much like learning a foreign language: listening and reading is much easier than speaking and writing. It is all too easy to fall into the trap of believing that if you come to class and understand what the instructor is saying, you don't need to practice the material. Accordingly, I emphasize the need to practice "speaking" the language on a regular basis and to receive immediate feedback on one's learning. In my free time I enjoy woodworking and playing with Legos with my small children.

In high school, I was a member of the Shortridge High School Daily Echo newspaper. It was one of the few daily high school newspapers in the country. For three years, I was an editorial columnist on health and wealth topics for the Indianapolis Star. Due to the compelling topics and timeliness of issues, I appeared on local NBC and FOX 59 news segments. I am an author of two Personal Finance books Women and Money and The Value Book and a historical book, Indiana Avenue Life and Musical Journey from 1915 to 2015.I have a B.S. degree in Environmental Science from Stanford University and an MBA degree in Finance from Indiana University Kelley School of Business. I have completed 25 hours towards a Master of Science degree in Biomedical Writing from the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia.I have worked at Fortune 100 and major pharmaceutical companies such as Eli Lilly and Covidien.Tutoring ExperienceSince high school, I have tutored and mentored students from elementary to graduate school. I enjoy working with young people and helping them achieve a thirst and enthusiasm for learning! The best part of tutoring is to witness "the light bulb turning on" as students improve their skills and confidence.My areas of expertise are Writing, Business Writing, College English, English Grammar and Syntax, Essay Editing, Composition, Middle School Reading, Middle School Reading Comprehension, Middle School Writing, Finance, Personal Finance and Technical Writing.I enjoy reading, writing, exploring science, traveling, watching sports and meeting new people.

I am a Seattle area math tutor in various subjects, including algebra, trigonometry, calculus and SAT Math test preparation. I graduated with a math degree from Stanford University, and am currently pursuing a PhD in history at the University of Washington. While new to Varsity Tutors, I have years of experience as a private tutor, as well as classroom teaching experience as a Teaching Assistant. For me, tutoring is very student-directed. My teaching style emphasizes flexibility and exploring the kind of learning most suitable to each student. My teaching style also emphasizes understanding how to use and apply formulas and mathematical properties in order to ease the process of memorization.

I consider mathematics as an essential skill for success in life regardless of one's chosen career. It is a beautiful application of human reasoning to create an understanding of the universe we live in and to admire the incredible technical achievements of mankind. I hope to instill this appreciation for the subject in my students as they build the skills necessary to not only master the techniques and skills of math, but to enjoy and admire how math is used and the geniuses who developed the methods.

I am a Stanford Graduate with a Masters in Civil and Environmental Engineering. My tutoring expertise lies in GRE test prep, math and science. My academic achievements in these subjects allowed me to earn a full ride scholarship during my undergraduate studies and a graduate study scholarship at Stanford University.I have tutored middle school and high school students in mathematics and science. Through tutoring, I have developed a number of unique teaching styles that tailor to all different types of students. I provide quick tips and tricks to make problem solving more effective. My approach to tutoring is very simple. I first understand a student's goals and objectives, gauge his/her strengths and weakness before I begin tutoring lessons.Beyond teaching the content, I will also impart studying skills and test-taking techniques to help my students perform better on their exams. I personally enjoy making challenging concepts simple, and I am good at helping people find their own learning style. My philosophy is that there's always a way for each person to learn the necessary material to achieve their goals, and it's my job to find the way each student learns best and reinforce understanding through active-learning. Whether you need help on homework, getting ready for exams, or laying a foundation for your future career in math, science or engineering, I am here to help you.

I am currently an undergraduate student at Stanford University, and I recently graduated top of my class from Phillips Academy, a prestigious private boarding school in Massachusetts. For the past few years, I have tutored students of all different ages, serving as a peer tutor, faculty-nominated department tutor, and mentor for elementary school students. Although I tutor many different subjects, I am particularly passionate about Writing, Math, Physics, and Economics. My tutees and I always have a lot of fun revising essays, and academic research experience has given me a better appreciation of the other subjects. I am also well-versed in standardized test prep. My teaching philosophy is that no subject or concept is beyond the capabilities of any studentwe must only find the right teaching method. I would characterize my tutoring style as adaptable and empowering. I want to focus on not only solving the given problem or revising an essay, but also developing the skills and thinking process to apply to other assignments. For instance, one of my preferred teaching methods utilizes the Socratic method.

I graduated from Stanford University in 2013 with a BA in Human Biology and a minor in Political Science. Throughout high school and college, I tutored students ranging from age 4 to age 18 for several organizations. This provided me with a wide variety of material, lesson plans, and experiences that motivated me to work as a full-time AmeriCorps tutor in a public school in Chicago following graduation. I spent this year tutoring and mentoring fifth graders, providing whole classroom support and leading small group pull-outs. I also led an after school program focusing on homework help and Common Core skills for fifth and sixth grade. I have a deep understanding of the Common Core in both English Language Arts and Math and of what students are expected to learn in the classrooms. Most importantly, I have a passion for tutoring and building up skills that enable students to become successful in and out of the classroom. I love individual tutoring because I love customizing lessons to appeal to the student's interests. I believe in leading tutoring sessions with enthusiasm, positivity, and patience. I am currently in the second year of my Master's in Social Work program at Boston University.

I am a graduate of Stanford University and earned a bachelors in Biology. Since graduation, I have been volunteering my time tutoring with underserved populations throughout California and Pennsylvania. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Mathematics (all branches from Algebra to Calculus) and Science (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics). As a high school student, I vividly remember preparing for the SAT and hope to use the tactics that I learned to help other students who may need improvement! I firmly believe in helping students and adapting to their individual needs and skill sets. In my spare time, I love to watch football and play sports with my friends. I also love playing board games and going on hikes!

I'm a coterminal master's student at Stanford University in California majoring in Computer Science (Biocomputation). Throughout high school and college, I've taken many courses in computer science, the life sciences (biology and chemistry), and math; and I've been through a lot of standardized tests. For computer science in particular, I have a lot of experience writing software in Python and C++ for AI and systems classes, and I'll be interning as a software engineer at Facebook this summer. I got a lot of great tips and mentorship from tutors along the way, and would love to pass along what I know!Outside of academics, I enjoy captaining Stanford's Ultimate Frisbee Team, keeping up with the NBA, serving people at Stanford's Pacific Free Clinic, and searching for nearby boba tea cafes.

I just graduated from Edina High School and will be attending Stanford University in the fall. Although I am unsure exactly what I want to study, I will likely explore Public Policy, Political Science, and Symbolic Systems. I also graduated from the University of Minnesota Talented Youth Math Program (UMTMYP) in 10th grade where I studied up through Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus. With a teacher for a mother, I have been raised appreciating and understanding the value of education. I love tutoring and have been doing it for many years. I started a tutoring program at an inner-city charter school to mentor and teach underserved students ranging from K-12. Additionally, I have worked as an independent tutor for students. I can tutor for a variety of subjects, especially standardized tests and math. As a recent high school graduate, I know the college application and testing process well and can help explain and guide in what often seems overwhelming. I have also been tutored myself, so I know the value of a great tutor and hope to provide that for others. As a tutor, I want to create an environment of learning, excitement, and joy. Outside of school, I enjoy playing tennis, longboarding, and exploring the beautiful lakes of Minnesota!

I'm a mechanical engineer, educated at MIT and Stanford. Previously, I have worked as a design engineer in the medical device design field. I like being able to help someone figure out how to make something work--to help them accomplish something they're struggling with. I love the 'I get it now' moment that comes from when a tutoring session has been successful.

I am a retired Wall Street research executive turned teacher/tutor and have spent the last 2 years teaching and tutoring students in Westchester for standardized tests and academic subjects (high school, college, and graduate level). I have taught over two hundred students in the classroom and have privately tutored over 30 students in: Statistics (both AP and college level), Physics (regents, high school, AP, and SAT II), Math (SAT, SAT II level 1 and 2, Algebra, Trig, Pre-Calc, and Business Math), and Business (Graduate level Finance and Marketing). I have tutored students preparing for the SAT, SSAT, and ISEE exams and am qualified and prepared to tutor the ACT and GMAT tests.My SAT students have had extremely positive results, averaging over 275 points of improvement. My last class of 20 students averaged over 300 points of improvements. I have had similar success preparing students for SAT subject tests and AP exams. My students benefit from my comprehensive knowledge of the subject matter, high energy, enthusiasm, and patience. I spend time getting to know the individual needs of my students and then tailor a program of study that best addresses both subject matter gaps and test taking strategies and skills. I develop a rapport with my students often utilizing my quick wit and good humor and this relationship helps to motivate them and elicit their best performance. In addition, I utilize frequent testing and feedback to reinforce their progress.My academic credentials are excellent and include a B.A. in Economics (summa cum laude) and an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. With regard to my standardized tests, I took the GMAT test in 1983 and scored in the top two percent.

I am currently a student at Stanford University studying math and political science. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with younger students. I have helped students of different ages and from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, and so I am very conscious of the needs and prior knowledge my students and tailor my tutoring method and style individually.I tutor students in a wide range of subjects. In subjects related to reading and writing, I focus first on the students comprehension of the material at hand and then help the student construct an analytical argument. In subjects related to math, I review the foundational concepts in a certain topic before proceeding to assist the student with specific example problems. I always make sure to make my lessons enjoyable and relatable, so that the students attention remain on the subject matter.I am also very knowledgeable about standardized tests, particularly the ACT and many of the SAT subject tests, and so I am always excited to help students reach their full potential on these tests.

Hi!I'm a former Stanford grad, where I majored in Math and History. I've also spent a few years working as a software developer.If you're looking to learn more about math, computer science, or physics, whether for a class or just for fun, I'd love to help you out! These subjects might seem tedious sometimes but I think they can be really interesting and fun if they're presented in the right way! My teaching philosophy is to help you discover your inner motivation and potential.

I recently left my post as a graduate student and researcher at Stanford University to pursue a career in medicine. My educational journey has been a long one, but I've always loved learning and that love has kept me in school (whether for better or worse :P) for more years than I can count. Though I don't plan on being a student forever, the time that I've spent preparing for college, graduate school, and now medical school has reminded me of how enabling a strong academic record can be.I've been tutoring since I was in high school and have worked with students at every level of education. I specialize in teaching from a very fundamental perspective and in building concepts from the ground up but also enjoy helping students to "just get done" with their homework. Though I'm particularly fond of math and science, I can provide assistance in almost any subject (from Latin to world geography to art history), and can also help in preparing students for standardized tests such as the SAT, GRE, and MCAT.Above all though, my approach to tutoring is simply about having fun and inspiring students to do their best. Assignments and tests are really just chances for students to demonstrate how much they already know, and allowing each student to shine at his or her brightest is what tutoring is all about.

My interest in tutoring started in college. After a confusing lecture, I would often go 1-1 resources like office hours or TA help sessions. Here, I would be able to ask questions that clarified topics that would otherwise take me much longer to understand. Often I would relay this information to my friends, and I felt a sense of fulfillment in teaching it. Being able to help someone along to their "a-ha!" moment and share in that experience has been one of the greatest joys of teaching. In addition, doing so not only helped them, but also myself in solidifying my understanding of the material.This led me to take on various roles as a TA, both in 1-1 and in group settings later in my college career. My responsibilities ranged from weekly 1-1 sessions with multiple students to giving a review session to a large lecture class.Outside of academics, for all four years I have tutored middle/high school students in music in a 1-1 setting. This was through one of Yale's Dwight Hall service/outreach program. What interested me in tutoring music was the same sense of fulfillment, being able to watch someone progress overtime and see their face as they learn something new and enjoy it!

I graduated from Tufts University with a double major in Mathematics and Psychology. Subsequently I earned Masters degrees in Education ( Stanford), Accounting/MBA ( Northeastern) and Finance ( George Washington). I earned my Credential to teach Mathematics and Psychology in California, and taught high school in San Jose. I also taught Math at Tabor Academy and at Avery Coonley School. I left teaching full time and now work for the US Government working on accounting and Finance Systems. I am an expert skier and teach skiing during the winter months. I missed teaching so I currently tutor students in all levels of Math and love it! The joy of helping individual students understand a concept and succeed, where they thought they couldn't, is what keeps me tutoring! I enjoy working with all levels of students, working to understand what is/are the concept(s) keeping each one from reaching their potential. Even though I am a self proscribed math geek, I don't expect my students to love math as much as I do, but I try to impart my enthusiasm and love for math. Let's try and enjoy Math together.

As a recent graduate from Stanford University with a Bachelor's with Honors in Classics and minors in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Theater, I bring a diverse educational background to my tutoring practice. With over six years of experience teaching subjects ranging from Latin and Algebra to ACT prep and College Application Essays, I am passionate about making complex concepts accessible and engaging for my students. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a love for learning by connecting subjects to real-life applications and making them enjoyable. I believe that when students see the relevance of what they're learning, they become more invested in their education. In addition to my academic pursuits, I enjoy exploring literature (especially Shakespeare) and languages, which enriches my approach to tutoring and helps me inspire confidence in my students.

Hello! I'm an undergrad student at Stanford University studying Computer Science and American Studies. I am passionate about teaching and mentorship, and find that the best way to learn more about a subject is to teach it.

Benjamin is different from traditional teachers in that he teaches his students high level principles (NOT rote formula/rule memorization) using fun and often-times silly analogies to keep them engaged and interested. One of the key commonalities among the worlds fastest learners is that they learn how high level principles in one field cross-relate to other seemingly unrelated fields. Benjamin believes that if he can inspire his students to see connections between high level principles in math or science and those of some real-life subjects like dance or football, then he walks away a happy teacher and his students walk away with a very bright future. As a techy nerd, Benjamin learns best by visualizing, but if his students are more kinesthetically/feelings oriented, he has plenty of experience in theatre improvisation to creatively engage them using stories. Benjamin has over 100 hours of official tutoring, including professional math/science tutoring with two top tutoring agencies, and plenty of informal (free) tutoring as the go-to smart guy in most of his math/science classes since junior year in high school. Additionally, he has taught Stanford graduate students in 2 graduate level engineering courses as a teaching assistant during his PhD.Benjamin has five goals with each new student:1. Identify the studnts goal, their strengths, their weaknesses, and map out a timeline of mini-goals to achieve their overall goal.2. Fill in any gaps in high level understanding through student-tailored and fun mini-lectures.3. Introduce a powerful 4 step problem solving strategy that Benjamin uses for everything from math/science all the way to cooking.4. Guide the student from relatively simple exercises through progressively more difficult exercises which will guarantee early wins and build confidence in a healthy way.5. Habituate the student with AT LEAST one powerful yet simple study habit out of the many good study habits that Benjamin has in his arsenal.Benjamin got his B.S. in Chemical Engineering (Summa Cum Laude) and another B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (Summa Cum Laude) from Rutgers University. After a grueling 5 years and one first author academic publication, he moved on to his PhD at Stanford University to try to save the environment by discovering better renewable technology. He finished his PhD and a 2 year post-doctoral fellowship in Sweden. Benjamin says that he was probably on track for a professorship, but between the middle of his PhD studies and the end of his Post-doc, he decided scientific research was not for him anymore. During and after this shift, he has been exploring lots of different learning experiences in hopes of finding his true purpose in life. While living in Sweden, he started a theatre improvisation group and then he spent 9 months in South America exploring and becoming fluent in Spanish. After coming back to the real world, he started tutoring again and realized that teaching and learning go hand in hand. Not only does he take pride in seeing the look in his students faces when they figure out a concept but he has also become a better learner!Please note: Benjamin only works with a limited number of students to ensure top notch tutoring. His space is therefore limited.
