I am a recent Chemistry Ph.D. graduate with a 7 month break before starting in my next role in management consulting. As the most enjoyable experiences of my career to date have been in teaching and mentoring, I am spending the intervening period tutoring!I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry from MIT, where I was a Presidential Fellow and a Dept. of Defense Graduate Fellow, and my B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Tufts University, Summa Cum Laude with Highest Thesis Honors. Over the course of my scientific research career I have produced 14 research publications, given 12 talks at international conferences, including the largest annual Physics, Chemistry, Materials, and Chemical Engineering conferences in the world, and have received 8 awards, totaling over $300k, specifically in recognition of my research accomplishments.As both an undergraduate and graduate student I have also taught, tutored, and mentored students. At MIT, I won a Graduate Teaching Award for thrice-weekly recitations of Intro Chemistry and Physical Chemistry at MIT; students consistently outperformed their peers in 5 other sections (higher average exam grades on all 4 exams and 9/12 pop quizzes, by an average margin of 5 grade points). As a graduate student, I have mentored over a dozen undergraduate students individually in their research, academics, career planning, and time/workflow management.Alongside my scientific career I have pursued an interest in business, leading to my pending employment as a Management Consultant. I took a full year of Management Science coursework at MIT's Sloan School of Management, including Microeconomics, Marketing, and Competitive Strategy. I applied that education to consulting engagement both freelance and through MIT. I have worked with a $16b Chinese state-owned enterprise on Sales force organization design, a $27b glass manufacturer on market entry into OLED lighting market, and a healthcare software startup on business model development. In those engagements I worked alongside graduate students from MIT and other international schools, and on several occasions presented findings to the senior management of the client firm.In addition to being a Native English speaker, I have studied Japanese for 7 years, including 3 years of college-level coursework and a 6 month stint working in Sales for a $17b semiconductor manufacturer in Japan.No matter what your background and challenges are as a student, I look forward to working together with you!

I'm a recent graduate of Tufts University who just completed an internship with the speechwriting company West Wing Writers. I'd love to help you with writing assignments, test preparation, and any classes in the humanities!

I am passionate about tutoring because I benefited from having a math tutor in high school. I am a mechanical engineer by training and hold an advanced degree from Tufts University in environmental science and management. I have tutored over 1000 students in various levels of math and science, and while I truly love doing math and science, what I find fulfilling is to see students really grasp the material, apply it, and also enjoy it.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Sussex in Brighton, U.K., where I received an M.A. in Modern and Contemporary Literature, Culture, and Thought. I received my B.A. in English and History from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts in 2011. Having grown up in Alabama, completed an undergraduate degree in Massachusetts, and a Master's in the U.K., I have tutored students from a broad range of backgrounds in an even broader range of subject areas. I have worked with students in subjects ranging from History and Government to Reading, Writing, and Grammar. I am passionate about helping others to realize their academic potentials, and I believe that my most important responsibility as a tutor is helping my students to develop the reading, writing, and critical thinking skills that will allow them to excel in all subject areas.

I have been tutoring for over 8 years in the maths and sciences, helping students out at all skill levels (elementary through college). Excelling in these studies myself, I guide my students on study skills, tricks and trades to the subject, and how to best tackle difficult problems. I cater to the learning styles of all students and try my best to find the easiest way for us to tackle a challenging subject so that once on your own, you feel confident in your abilities to excel.

I am a student at Tufts University studying Peace and Justice Studies and Sociology. I have a variety of experience tutoring K-12 students in all academic subjects. I strongly believe that each student learns differently. Therefore, I ensure that my teaching skills are adjusted so that they are an ideal fit for each student I tutor.

I am an undergraduate at Tufts University studying Community Health with a minor in Mandarin Chinese. I am involved with various organizations on campus, including the Mental Health Representatives and MARCH (Maternal Advocacy and Research in Community Health). I am passionate about providing academic support to students of all levels because I know every student can succeed with the right support system tailored to their specific needs. I passionately tutor English (poetry, essay writing, reading, literary analysis, comprehension), Mandarin Chinese, elementary and middle school math, and American history. In my free time, I enjoy poetry, spending time with friends trying new cafe's, and taking long walks on the beach. I would love to help you learn!

I'm a first-year med student at Pitt Med. I graduated from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts with a BS in Biology this past May. As much as I love medicine and the hard sciences, most of my tutoring experience is in general ACT prep, in addition to academic and creative writing, middle school math and reading, and high school and college math. Some of my favorite all-time classes were medical sociology in college and AP US Government and Politics in high school. Through Tufts, I taught English as a second language (3 semesters) and citizenship exam prep (1 semester) to Hispanic immigrants and refugees, which taught me a lot about how to gauge students' understanding, teach tough subjects, plan activities, provide flashcards and the best possible study materials, and make the most of the students' time. I love tutoring because I know how much a tutor's patience one-on-one can make the difference. I love sharing my study tips and test-taking strategies so they can study efficiently and make the best use of their time to get that desired result. I want students to feel heard and supported and help them find methods best suited to them. I want to help students enjoy learning and find more confidence in themselves through mastering tough subject matter.

My name is Carole Bersani, and I live in beautiful Belmont, Massachusetts.My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Westfield State University, a Master of Arts in Education from Tufts University, and a TEFL Certificate in online instruction.I have a solid and varied background in Education, working with both children and adults. I have taught all levels and subjects of primary school and also ESL for adults. My time volunteering with the Peace Corps in Paraguay was an amazing experience, which helped me to understand the value of culture in learning.I believe every student is an individual learner and must be treated as such. I'm happy to say that I am dedicated to engaging and motivating every student I meet. I do this by employing interactive activities and providing relevant, interesting explanations to make a concept clear. I like to make learning exciting, and I encourage the students to have fun!

I am currently a Sophomore Mechanical Engineering major at Tufts University. I have a passion for anything math related and enjoy sharing my love for math with everyone else. I make sure that everyone understands the stuff they are learning on their own terms to make sure it is more accessible for future use. I was a Teaching Assistant for a Calculus 2 class last semester. I love baseball, swimming, and rowing. I also used to play chess competitively. I believe the way to truly understand something is to do it until you can explain it to someone else.

Computer Science and Entrepreneurial Leadership Studies Student at Tufts University

I am a graduate of Tufts University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English as well as a minor in History. Since graduation, I have worked as a 7th grade Reading Language Arts teacher in Dallas Texas at a newly formed public all boys school. This has provided me with great experience and insight into how students best learn and how to create culturally responsive lessons that students will engage with. I am most passionate about English, Literature, History, and Spanish. In my experience, working to prepare students for state standardized tests has had the additional benefit of helping students to discover what they enjoy reading about. This increase in intrinsic motivation to read has had an important impact on struggling students. I am dedicated towards ensuring that students are provided with an education that increases their quality of life.In my spare time I enjoy reading short fiction, photography, skiing, coaching weightlifting, and traveling with my family.

I tutor students in both the Math and English portions of the PSAT, SAT, and ACT exams. I also tutor the subjects of Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra II, and AP Calculus AB. Currently, I am a rising junior at Tufts University working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics. I have over 3 years of experience in peer tutoring high school math. In addition, I have tutored over 50 students on Varsity Tutors in the past 2 years. It brings me joy to tutor students because I am able to help them grow in confidence and in their understanding of new topics.

I am pursuing a degree in English and Political Science at Tufts University. I have tutored middle school, high school, and college students in writing, public speaking, argumentation, clarinet performance, and music theory. I currently work as a high school policy debate coach and as a college parliamentary debate curriculum director. I will be a Writing Fellow at Tufts in the fall.I am particularly passionate about tutoring in subjects related to essay writing and critical reading. This is my favorite area to tutor in because I strongly believe that everyone can benefit from writing skills. As a debate coach and writing tutor, I have seen high school students of diverse interests gain confidence and independence when they learn to express themselves more clearly. I think that the study of textual expression is much more than an English-majors-only activity - it is an essential part of learning to communicate with others and is important for any career.Outside of academia, I enjoy competing in college parliamentary debate, playing clarinet, and reading about history and politics.I can tutor the following subjects on Varsity Tutors. I have starred my favorite subjects to tutor in.Algebra 1*American Literature*Clarinet*College Application EssaysElementary School MathElementary School ReadingElementary School ScienceElementary School Writing*English*English Grammar and Syntax*Essay EditingHigh School Economics*High School English*High School Level American LiteratureHigh School Physics*High School WritingMathMiddle School Math*MusicPhysicsPre-Algebra*PSAT Critical Reading*PSAT Writing Skills*Public SpeakingScience*SAT Reading*SAT Writing and LanguageTest Prep*Writing

Engineer by day, tutor by night! When not building implants, I enjoy exploring math and physics with students of all ages. I've tutored students in Kindergarten through college, helping with understanding everything from basic addition to multivariable calculus. I have a bachelor's degree in mechanical and biomedical engineering from Tufts university.

Hi! I'm a student at Tufts University studying Biology and Public Health. I love teaching, and I'm so excited to work with you!My teaching style is mostly about building strong foundational knowledge, filling understanding gaps, and using those skills to develop higher-level thinking and understanding that's often found on tests.My goal is to make sure you understand every concept clearly, so we can go at whatever pace you need to get you where you need to be!

I graduated from Tufts University in 2012 with degrees in Italian Studies, History, and Communications, and I continue to utilize all three fields. Writing my thesis on the continuity of fascism in Italian film, I earned my Master's degree in Modern European Studies from Columbia University in 2014, and, still proudly calling New York my home, I am currently pursuing my doctorate in Italian Studies at Columbia.I have been tutoring and teaching students of all ages (from grades 4 and 5 to the university level) for almost a decade, but I now especially focus on foreign languages -- Spanish and Italian chiefly among them -- and test prep. I believe that I am a great fit for most students, since I realize that there several types of learning; I try to design each lesson that meets both the students' needs and outside interests.My own outside interests include cooking, traveling (20 countries & counting!), photography, reading, and, of course, watching the New York Jets on Game Day!

I have a BA in English, Magna Cum Laude, from Tufts University. And I have an MFA in Creative Writing from Rutgers-Camden. While I worked on my MFA, I taught Writing courses at Camden County College. This past fall, I served as the Emerging Writer-in-Residence at Penn State Altoona. I can teach and tutor a variety of subjects, but I adore English: high school essays, college admission essays, AP Literature and Composition. I'm a good teacher, and I can help you improve your reading and writing skills. I believe that learning can, and should be fun. My students and I generally have a good time working together. I only teach subjects I'm passionate about, and it shows in my students' progress, and in their growing love and/or tolerance of the material.When I'm not helping others with their writing, I'm working on my own. I write fiction and essays. My work has appeared in the New York Times, and a wide variety of literary magazines. I also play the guitar, and I enjoy sports quite a bit: watching and playing.

I am a current undergraduate student at Tufts University pursuing a double major in economics and history, with a minor in physics. My favorite subjects to tutor are history and english because I love to write, so I really enjoy the analytic facets of these classes. I have been an English tutor for four years, a history tutor for one year, and an ACT tutor for nine months. Some of my other experience includes teaching summer classes in South Africa, and volunteering as a caretaker at orphanages in Poland. Outside of tutoring, I row crew in Boston, write poetry, and love walking my two adorable dogs. I am fluent in English, German, French, and I am currently learning Russian. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, and I look forward to working with you!

I enjoy working one on one with students to increase their understanding, learning and confidence. I like to use different methods of teaching, depending on the individual and their strengths. I am an advocate for determination, organization, and hard work in approaching learning and achieving success in school.

My experiences as a multilingual poet with 20+ years of facilitating workshops in person and online, as a college professor of English composition and literature (6 years) and college admissions counselor (4 years), I have a wealth of resources I access in order to tailor my teaching and tutoring to the students who work with me. First, I actively listen and intensively read. Then I reflect back the strengths I learn through what students share with me. No two students are alike; that is why I believe in different learning pathways to arrive at the same destination: success!

I am an M.S.Ed. student at the University of Pennsylvania in Education, Culture, and Society and I am passionate about education and community development. As an undergraduate, I triple-majored in Economics, American Studies, and Spanish at Tufts University. I spent the last four years living in Vina del mar, Chile where I taught English as a Foreign Language at a technical-professional university and tutored English and test prep in my free time.I love teaching, and I try to make my classes fun and connect them to real-life situations. I always tailor my teaching to my students' goals and learning styles. If you like charts, diagrams, and rules, we can use them every class. If they don't make any sense to you, we can review the same concepts using pictures, games, and music. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and as a teacher I have never taught the same class twice--even the same material requires a different approach for each student.I think that languages are fun and fascinating, and love working with students who are learning a new language (English or Spanish), or who are looking to master the intricacies of English for TOEFL, the SAT, or GRE. Languages and grammar rules can seem overwhelming, but I try to break them down into manageable sections and develop personal tricks and strategies that make sense for each student.

I am a recent graduate of Indiana University. I majored in Human Biology with an area of concentration in Human Growth and Development, as well as minored in Chemistry and Psychology. I am currently applying to medical school. My tutoring experience has been tutoring English in Austria, and I have been a student of the Kaplan MCAT course. Outside of academia I enjoy reading, running, and rock climbing. I look forward to hearing from you!

I love tutoring and working with children in general to see those ahh-haa moments. To share my knowledge and watch a student smile while they work with me. My philosophy is you can reach and teach all learners. I have 25 years experience in the classroom and 6 years tutoring off line and online. I have 2 Masters one in Education and one in Couseling (children only) I also have a post Masters Certificate in Applied behavior Analysis. I love teaching reading because I feel reading opens the whole world to a child. It is one of my favorite hobbies and I like to get students loving it not struggling with it. I am a certified Wilson and Visualize and Verbalize trainer and trained in Fountas and Pinnell, and Just Words. So I am fully qualified to teach reading to students through all the elementary years and above. I also am trained in teaching Math and love how sequential and logical it is since that is me all the way. I am also trained in Lucy Calkins writing and other writing programs. This makes me your go to for elementary education.

I am a graduate of Michigan State University, where I studied Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Humanities. I am currently enrolled at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, where I study Development Economics and International Monetary Policy. I have worked as a Teaching Assistant, Research Assistant, and as an Actuary, and have a particular passion for teaching Mathematics. When tutoring I try to include visualizations and real world examples whenever I can so that it does not feel like a fruitless exercise. I help students reach their goals with a two-pronged approach: reinforcing and building upon strengths while targeting weaknesses. In my free time I exercise, play the piano and volunteer with the Jewish Vocational Service.

I did my undergraduate and doctoral training in Boston, at Wellesley College and Tufts University respectively. I have a BA in Latin American Studies and a PhD in Food Policy and Applied Nutrition.My mother tongue is Spanish; I am also fluent in Italian; and have extensive advanced fluency in French and German. I picked up my language skills while working and traveling to over 65 countries. My extensive linguistics knowledge coupled with my teaching experience allows me to help students struggling with learning Spanish; or writing college essays, term papers, dissertations or articles for publication; or organization skills to improve academic performance. Because of my varied travel experience I find it easy to adjust to students experiences and learning gaps in order to show them how to utilize the knowledge they already have and build on that knowledge in order to attain greater skills.

I am currently a student at Tufts University pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Quantitative Economics and Political Science with a minor in Computer Science. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about teaching math, economics, and the SAT. I love the process of walking a student through a problem as the logic behind it slowly starts to unfold and they finally achieve that "AHA" moment. I have tutored students of all ages from elementary school to college, but I believe the skills and techniques I have acquired teaching young kids can be applied to students of all ages. I like to have fun with students when tutoring through an interactive process to keep students engaged and excited about learning. Outside of academics, I like to spend my competing on the mock trial team, playing the drumset, and performing martial arts.

I received my education at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. I majored in History and Spanish language and attained a B.A. in both of these subjects, graduating cum laude in 2012. I have since gone abroad to teach English in Madrid, Spain, and returned to get my Master of Library and Information Science at Rutgers University with an expected completion date of May 2015. I have tutored on and off since high school, mainly in Geometry, Chemistry, and History. When I went abroad, I not only taught English in school, but tutored it on the side as well, mainly to students who were having trouble and who were looking to get ahead. I am totally devoted to the student, not willing to give up when things become difficult to understand or explain. I believe I am good at making students really care about the subjects that they are learning, not just learn it for the sake of the test or their teachers. I tutor many subjects, but would have to say that my greatest passions lie in Spanish, History, and Chemistry. I would say that my greatest strengths as a tutor lie in my ability to give perspective on a subject and in my ability to learn as I teach. In addition to tutoring, I greatly enjoy tennis and reading, and I am an avid movie buff.

My currently a freshmen at Tufts University studying Biology and Economics. I believe that everyone can learn anything they want, as they as they have the right techniques, and as a tutor, I believe that is my job to teach students how to problem solve any question. I enjoy tutoring math and biology, and outside of school, I enjoy arts and crafts like crocheting and watching sports.

I received my Masters in Business Administration in strategy and sustainability from Vanderbilt University and am a graduate of Tufts University, where I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a focus on communications. I spent two years working in corporate communications and three years working at the NYC Department of Education in the administration, helping to implement education reform programs for NYC public schools and improve the quality of education for all students. Although I am available to tutor in a range of topics, I am most passionate about English, writing and essay editing, as these skills have proven most useful in my education and career path. I believe that academic success begins with goal-setting, organization and building confidence through engagement and success. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, yoga, running, spinning and spending time with family and friends.

I am a Sophmore, at Tufts University. I'm working towards receiving my Bachelors in Chemistry and minoring in Studio Arts. I have tutored in highschool and was a counselor for Brilliant Detroit Summer Camps where I assisted with educational activities for kids ages 3-10. The subjects that I am most passionate about tutoring are Science and Math. As someone pursuing a STEM degree I enjoy seeing how the classroom applies to the real world, and as I engage with students I want to also help them see those connections.

I just finished my coursework for my Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences degree at Tufts University School of Medicine. I have a B.A. in Chemistry and Chinese from Williams College. I am a very reliable and dedicated tutor. I will work hard and efficiently to help you improve your test scores, studying habits, and grades. My teaching philosophy is very much similar to a lot of my science professors. "Do practice questions. Do practice questions. Do some more practice questions!" Since I like to have concepts simplified and broken down for me, I will do the same for my students.

My passion for teaching and creating outstanding educational opportunities for all students has guided my career. Not only have I worked as a teacher and an advocate, but I have modeled the importance of education by earning three Master's degrees: an MBA from Columbia Business School, an MA in Education Leadership from Teachers College at Columbia University, and an MA in Teaching Adolescent Math from Pace University.My formal teaching experience began in 1999, when I managed and taught reading, writing, and math skills at a tutoring center. From there, I went on to graduate school, which I followed with two years teaching middle and high school math in New York City Public Schools. During graduate school, having scored in the 98th percentile with a perfect writing score, I became certified to teach the GMAT by a private test preparation company, and taught that test to several small classes in Manhattan and Brooklyn.I am in the process of launching a small business. So in my spare time, I want to continue connecting to students by tutoring various subjects from math to English to test prep. As for test prep, I believe that most standardized tests don't test your ability in their stated subjects as much as they do your ability to take those tests. Therefore, it is critically important to teach not just the basic skills, but the ability to succeed on the test as well. I have been very successful in significantly raising students' scores in the past, and I look forward to doing the same for you.When I'm not teaching, my hobbies are skiing, boating, and spending time with my two young boys.

My name is Anya, and I'm really looking forward to working with you. I'm eager to help you succeed in whatever you're looking to learn. I am a firm believer in discussion and activity-based learning, and have experience working with students of all ages. Let me know if you have any questions, and I'm excited to start working with you!

I've always been interested in thinking deeply about anything. Whether word puzzles, chess moves, history, mathematics, or literature. As a kid, I would trade going to the playground for staring at a map and try to remember the countries, their capitals, their borders, etc. I then found the world of mathematics where thinking deeply about even the simplest ideas, as Bertrand Russell did in his famous paper proving why 1 + 1 = 2 from the ground up, was key to mastery. I wasn't fond of rote memorization and applying formulae. Instead, I was interested in the patterns that were involved. Why was there a formula for quadratic, cubic, and quartic equations but not quintic equations? I was curious. I found my Wikipedia. There I read about Galois Theory and how Galois proved there to be no quintic formula. Of course, I had not the slightest clue about group theory, ring theory, or Galois theory at the time. With this yearning to always try to seek more knowledge, I didn't hesitate to major in mathematics at Tufts University. As a tutor, when I work with students I try to make them question everything and try to guide their curiosity.

Recently, I received my Doctorate in Chemistry from Tufts University. I have over 10 years of tutoring experience, specializing in subjects such as AP Chemistry, Calculus, and Algebra. I aim to foster a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to explore and ask questions. I am dedicated to helping students achieve their academic goals and build confidence in their abilities.

I am a rising junior at Tufts University in Boston, studying literary theory, literature, philosophy, and film. I have always loved the humanities, and the creativity involved in it. I enjoy helping students and peers find their voice through their writing. I have experience both teaching and tutoring in a variety of settings. In high school, I taught a class and discovered how rewarding it was to help students grow more comfortable sharing ideas and developing their own voices. Working with students, I prioritize a collaborative environment and creating a personal style. I want people to feel comfortable asking questions and assert their voice. I believe that writing becomes much easier and more rewarding when students feel genuinely engaged with what they are saying, so I like to encourage incorporating personal interests to writing. For fun, I love reading, film, chess and hockey! I do not just hope to help students improve academically, but find the value of the humanities.

I graduated from Tufts University with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and a minor in Computer Science. I was the Music Director of an a cappella group at Tufts for two years and gained experience working with students one-on-one to teach difficult passages and sections of songs. I currently am a Music teacher at a local Sunday school in Somerville, and enjoy working with children and young adults of all ages. I have taken the LSAT and tutor the entire test, though I feel particularly strong about the Logic Games and Logical Reasoning sections.I look forward to working with you!

I am a graduating senior seeking to attain a Bachelors of Arts in Economics at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. Next year I will be working at Oracle based in Burlington Massachusetts. I am also pursing a minor in Computer Science and Child Studies and Human Development. In high school I was a volunteer tutor at my middle school where I tutored students one on one in overall homework help and subjects like algebra and earth science. In college, I am apart of Tufts Tutoring where I tutor local Medford High School Students. I also have a year experience tutoring students in Physics on Varsity Tutoring. I have tutored three students in overall homework help, Spanish, and physics. Even though I have tutored students in a wide variety of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor in are science and math. These are tough subjects for all students and subjects that I have struggled with in the past. Being able to help students like me that feel frustrated in science and math in school and in standardized testing gives me great happiness. Education and learning is so important and valuable and being able to help students through the tricky parts of it gives me great joy.

I graduated in May of 2015 from Tufts University with a BS in Economics and Biopsychology. At Tufts, I was an Economics tutor for the Academic Resource Center for three years. Additionally, I have worked as a volunteer English language teacher in Madrid, Spain, during my semester abroad in the Spring of 2014. I love traveling as well and am extremely excited to be returning to Madrid in September on a Fulbright grant to be an English Teaching Assistant at the high school level!My approach to tutoring has always been about understanding each student's individual style as a learner to create lessons best-tailored to his or her specific needs. I try to foster an environment where open communication is emphasized and the student feels comfortable and motivated. Outside of the classroom—even though I was born and raised in Manhattan—I love spending time in the outdoors. I am an avid rock climber, and enjoy hiking, camping, and connecting with nature.
