I believe that true knowledge is attained only by striving and struggling with guidance from those who have done it before. There is no subject matter or concept that cannot be attained by a person who is willing to put in the time and effort to gain the higher level of understanding. My goal is to guide students in their path of learning in subject areas that I have traversed in the past.I am, and always will be a student. I am currently learning Arabic and also using online courses to teach myself core topics in computer science. To teach the student, I really try to put myself in his or her place. From there, I can map out the strategy to reach a level of understanding for a given topic.I am really passionate about Mathematics and really see tutoring as a way to keep those core concepts I learned in school alive in my mind. I look forward to bringing the passion and excitement for the subject area to my students.

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.

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 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.

As a passionate person pursuing a Master's degree in Biotechnology from Brown University, I have over 2 years of tutoring experience in subjects such as AP Biology, AP Spanish Language & Culture, and Biostatistics. I believe in fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable exploring complex concepts and asking questions. My teaching philosophy centers on connecting the material to real-world applications, which ignites curiosity and enhances understanding. I am particularly motivated by the transformative power of education that encourages students. I take pride in helping students achieve their academic goals and discovery of self. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring different cultures through travel and language, which enriches my approach to teaching Spanish, my double major in undergrad. I'm not afraid of the hard questions or difficult topics! I'm so excited to work with you. God bless!!

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've been passionate about helping students ever since I was a student myself in middle school and high school. I used to tutor my friends and help them with their homework. After I graduated from high school, I got my bachelor's in Fine Arts from Tufts University and a CTEFL certificate from Boston Academy of English. For the past 5 years, I've been living and working in Laos, where I've had the pleasure of teaching so many incredible students. In my previous job, I taught English in classrooms, tutored individual students, provided online classes, and even helped to developed workshops in subjects like environmental protection, computer basics, and menstrual health. I trained adults to teach English as a second language and get comfortable teaching in front of a class, often for the first time! I have found that teaching English has allowed me to travel the world and make a difference in the lives of so many students, young and old! I hope someday to start my own English center and social enterprise here in Laos with my husband. When I was younger, I always dreamed of being an art teacher. Although it is not as useful a subject in my current location, it is one I'm very passionate about. I think art is an incredible form of expression and with more or more opportunities to earn money online through creative media, it's a great way to get a head start!

I am a student at Tufts University, studying English and International Relations with minors in Economics and Spanish. I have extensive tutoring experience in reading, writing, and other English related topics from 2nd-10th grade. I also have experience tutoring children who do not speak English as their first language, and I speak conversational Spanish. I believe that the subject of English is not an inherent talent, but can be learned with effort and hard work. I strongly believe everyone can learn to enjoy reading.

I have been speaking Spanish my whole life. At home, at school and now as my major, I am passionate about the language and the several cultures that come with it. In 2016 I had the privilege to spend a year working in a foster home in Spain. This opportunity allowed me to begin tutoring in both English and Spanish, and forced me to learn a new way of speaking both languages myself. My other passions in life include theatre, history and literature. I am eager to help share my knowledge in any way with you!

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'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.

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.

I am a recent graduate of Tufts University with experience tutoring primarily middle-school age students in English, science, math and history, and adult learners in politics.I am especially passionate about reading and writing, and increasing literacy with my students.Outside of tutoring, I currently work for a tech company in Somerville, and I enjoy exploring the city, playing the piano and guitar, and writing.

I am a graduate of Boston University where I earned both my M.S. and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering. Prior to that, I attended Tufts University where I earned my B.S., also in Biomedical Engineering. During my tenure at Boston University I was responsible for teaching two undergraduate level engineering courses, requiring me to teach in both large classroom and one-on-one settings. I am most comfortable teaching quantitative sciences, although I also have experience teaching standardized tests and more qualitative subjects such as Biology or Chemistry.I am a born and raised Bostonian, having grown up in Reading, MA. I am a proud product of the Massachusetts Public School system. I am a die-hard Patriots fan, as well as a Bruins season ticket holder. My other hobbies include computer hardware and software building/modding, reading, and playing sports.

As a passionate tutor with experience in subjects ranging from AP Calculus BC to AP Chemistry, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment where students can thrive. Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering at Tufts University, I bring a unique perspective to my tutoring approach, emphasizing real-world applications of complex concepts. My teaching philosophy centers on building strong connections with students, encouraging them to ask questions and explore their interests. I find immense joy in helping students achieve their academic goals and develop a love for learning, whether they are preparing for the ACT or mastering piano. Let's work together to unlock your potential!

I am a master's student in Astrophysics at Tufts University and a 2017 graduate of Colgate University with a Bachelor of Arts in Astronomy/Physics. Before going back to school in the Fall of 2019 I spent time working in healthcare analytics and tutoring students in Math and Physics in the Greater New York City area. I now am available to tutor all levels of Math, Physics, Astronomy and programming in Python. I am passionate about Astronomy and truly believe that learning about the wonders of the World and Universe around us truly enriches our quality of life and education. I love seeing the "lightbulb moment" when working with students where they are able to connect the dots and overcome a particular challenge that we have been working on together and always strive to improve student outcomes whether that be mastering a new subject or polishing up their problem solving abilities, there is no greater feeling than being able to help someone learn and encourage a lifelong love of learning. When I am not tutoring or at school I can be found going on a run through Cambridge, supporting all of my (mostly terrible) New York sports teams and most recently improving my cooking and baking skills.

I am current undergraduate at Tufts University working towards a degree in biochemistry on the premed track. I have enjoyed teaching since I was young, and I have tutored students in various grades and classes since middle school. My favorites areas to tutor are math and science, including SAT math (algebra & geometry), calculus, biology, and chemistry. I love these fields because they are commonly studied and have a reputation for being challenging. My goal as a tutor is not only to assist students academically but also to help dispel the negative feelings they may have towards learning, and hopefully to foster interest and passion for these beautiful and intricate subjects.

I majored in environmental engineering at Tufts University, then woke up one day and decided to go to business school at the University of Kansas. At KU, I lived in a dorm and helped dozens of freshmen with math and English homework. I love being able to help people and take pride in my students doing well, so I'd like to continue doing that with Varsity Tutors.

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 an incoming, second year Physics student at Tufts University. I have strong math and science skills, and experience instructing people of all ages from three seasons of professional ski instructing.I am excited to work with students looking to gain a deeper and clearer understanding of math and physics.

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'm a graduate of Wesleyan University, Tufts University School of Medicine, the Massachusetts School of Law. Since law school, my focus has been on mediation and am certified in family, divorce and general mediation. My focus throughout my life has been on music and education. I have extensive experience with public speaking and writing. I've written blogs, a book and many articles that have appeared in magazines and professional journals. I've also done public media work and been on the radio and TV. Some of the highlights of my career has been to use these experiences to help kids in need and help other people learn to write and communicate in a way to help other families and kids in need, too. For music, I've been playing the saxophone since elementary school. I love finding new ways to be creative and have conducted jazz ensembles in college as well as a musical. I've written music and love helping other students learn music theory. My true passion is in helping people learn to play the saxophone. I play in concert bands in Massachusetts and love finding ways to continue to help new players continue to learn. In fact, I still call my old teachers to help me when I want to grow more and am currently learning a new instrument the classical guitar. The wonderful adventure of music is there is always a new challenge. I can't wait to help you find your goals whether it be writing, public speaking or music. I've spent my life diving into those areas and look forward to helping you dive into those oceans and explore those areas with you.

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'm a master's student studying Civil Engineering hoping to design buildings one day. I've always enjoyed Math and Science and hope I can help you enjoy it too!

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.

Hello everyone, I am a young professional and I am an educator. I am currently teaching US History, but have taught a variety of history courses in the past. Being an educator means that I am constantly reading and editing students work. I am constantly lesson planning and thinking about how I can improve upon my craft. I love what I do, and love seeing my students do well both in and outside the classroom. I currently hold a B.A in American Studies from Tufts University and M.ed History from Boston College.

Hello future students! I am a graduate from Tufts University with a degree in Child Study and Human Development, though I will soon be pursuing a Master's at the University of Vermont to become a speech-language pathologist. Since undergrad, I have worked as a K-2 Literacy tutor, a social worker at a Head Start Preschool, and most recently ran a teen leadership development program at a children's museum. I recognize that traditional education isn't suited for all types of learning, so I'm dedicated to making material accessible to my students for their unique needs. I think that tutoring should be fun while increasing students' confidence and expertise in their subject. When not working, I like to be outside enjoying the sun or at a concert (or both!). I can't wait to meet you!

I am passionate about helping students develop critical thinking skills and fostering a love for learning.

My passion for photography began at 12 when I won a camera at a photo expo in NYC. My interest was sparked, and photography became my hobby and grew into a passion. I photograph a variety of subjects -portraits & events to scenics & landscapes. Wherever I travel, my camera accompanies me to document and create mementos of the places I visit. I hope to capture images that makes people feel that they are actually there experiencing that moment or place in time. My professional work includes photographing portraits, weddings & events. I completed training at the Golden Gate School of Photography's Fundamentals of Professional Photography and the Rocky Mountain School of Photography's Summer Intensive Program in Professional Photography. I continue to study and refine my skills and techniques. I look forward to guiding students to help them develop stronger skills and create more compelling and impactful images. You can browse my online gallery of images at my website: www.natasphotos.com

My name is Gabriel Ukegbu, and I studied biopsychology at Tufts University. I am pursuing an MD-MBA after graduating college. If there is one thing that the pre-med track has taught me, there is nothing wrong with asking for help. I have participated in many tutoring sessions ranging from Biology to English, and I understand that tutors are quintessential. I want to be a tutor because I want to help other students as I was helped growing up. I wish to reaffirm to them that they are bright and that struggling is a part of growth.My passion was especially apparent when I worked at Summer Enrichment Academy: Empowering Ourselves Organization during the summer. I worked out of a church in Brooklyn tutoring students who were struggling in school academically. I taught underserved youth courses in math, reading, and science. I also worked at a summer camp at Eastside House Settlements in the Bronx, preparing lesson plans for 6th graders. I also taught all levels of chemistry to Tufts Unversity undergraduates.I encourage you to contact me if you would like to learn more.

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.

Hi, my name is Ryan Stolarz, I am a senior in college studying Physics with tons of experience helping students in math and science subjects. Please reach out and I'd love to help you!

Examining the small processes and components in this world has been an intriguing habit of mine since I was in middle school. This passion made me fall in love with biochemistry in high school. Studying human metabolic pathways, including chemical reactions and cell communication, perfectly fulfilled my passion for understanding how smaller and simple processes work in conjugation with each other to create an intricate and fully functional larger organism.Now, I am a Biochemistry major at Tufts University, and I have aspirations to attend medical school after my undergraduate studies. This environment at Tufts helped develop my passion in the sciences and made me a more well-rounded person. I enjoy serving as a mentor, whether it includes tutoring or simply giving advice. My tutoring style focuses on identifying where the thought process becomes cloudy when a student looks at a problem or standardized test. I target this thought process and ask questions to guide the student to think about a better way to approach the problem. This way, the student is able to come up with the answer rather than have me tell them how to solve it properly. I mentored 5th and 6th graders when I was finishing up middle school and served as a mentor for freshmen in high school. At Tufts, I am also a mentor for premedical students and have thoroughly enjoyed every encounter I've had within these experiences.

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.
