Award-Winning Tutors from Vanderbilt University

Hello,I'm a full time working professional and adjunct professor based in Manhattan. I graduated from Vanderbilt University with a BA in Medicine, Health, & Society and a minor in Managerial Studies. I've also earned my MFA in Luxury & Fashion Management from Savannah College of Art & Design and my MSL in Fashion Law from Fordham School of Law. I have been an Adjunct Professor in fashion business since 2016 and love working one-on-one with students to build confidence and identify their root source of motivation while of course building knowledge and develop critical thinking skills. I'm available to tutor students in a wide range of topics including English (grammar, writing, reading, spelling, etc.), math (through Algebra 2), and history. As a US Presidential Scholar who earned a 35 out of 36 on my ACT, I am most actively seeking students for ACT tutoring as well as general college prep including college applications, scholarship search, and financial aid application assistance.

I'm Karen, a sophomore in Vanderbilt's Peabody College of Education. I am double majoring in Secondary Education (middle and high school education) and European History with additional endorsements in US History and Political Science.My academic interests are in Soviet/Russian history, especially in Soviet music culture in the 20th century, as well as U.S. involvement and foreign relations during the Cold War. Early U.S. History also is of particular interest to me, but I suspect that has to do with Hamilton! Non-academically, I row here at Vanderbilt (hence the Nike polo), and am involved in several community service organizations, including Next Steps at Vanderbilt, which is a program that pairs Vanderbilt students with other students with intellectual disabilities.I love working one on one with students; I find that personalized instruction where a tutor can really focus on a single student and adapt to their learning styles is one of the most effective ways of learning for students.

I am studying Neuroscience and Computer Science at Vanderbilt University and plan to apply to medical school in the next two years. Outside of class, I am very involved in my neuropharmacology lab and clubs on campus. I also love running, watching movies, and am learning guitar.I decided to be a tutor because I've always enjoyed the mentor role and want to give back to the community after receiving so much help in my academic path from those around me. I am especially interested in tutoring for science subjects for all ages.I aim to help my students realize their academic goals and improve their scores as well as help them grow as students in general that are capable of independent learning without my help.

I am a Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology graduate and currently attend Vanderbilt University majoring in Computer Engineering with a minor in Business. I've tutored in various subjects for about 6 years now. I've done it so much, one of the companies I started was tutoring-based. In all, I am a technology-oriented entrepreneur, an impact-driven member of the community, and a striving academic. My passion for computer engineering and dedication to solving the world's problems push me to continue to be better tomorrow than I am today. I am currently pursuing a career in engineering and business where I hope to improve the lives of those around me every step of the way."Passions are useless if we don't do anything with them. Make an impact. That's what passions are for." ~Rhamy Belayachi, TEDx, May 2015

I am a passionate educator across many disciplines. Holding my MBA from Vanderbilt and undergraduate degree from Notre Dame, my teaching experience ranges from MBA teaching assistantships in strategy and communications to theatre education for 5-7 year-olds and everything in-between. I look forward to working with you!

I am an Undergraduate Student at Vanderbilt University. With years of tutoring experience and a solid academic foundation, I am fully equipped to teach in various subjects at many different levels.

I am passionate about helping students grow, and my number one goal as a tutor is to ensure you see and feel yourself making meaningful progress in your coursework. As an M1 medical student at the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University, I understand the dedication and effective study strategies required to succeed in challenging academic environments. My goal is to help build both your knowledge and your confidence so you can excel in the subject of your choosing.

I am a sophomore at Vanderbilt University in the College of Arts and Sciences, and I hope to graduate with bachelor's degrees in chemistry and English.I like to work with motivated students. I understand that, while test scores are an insufficient measure of a student's capability, high test scores can open a lot of doors in the college application process, and I want to see those doors open for my students. As I understand it, the best way to improve test scores is to do as many practice problems as possible. However, in standardized-test-taking there are many ways to work smarter, not harder. I like to work with students on pattern recognition and breaking down problems to their smallest component parts to make each problem more intuitive than the last.

I am an engineering student at Vanderbilt and am currently taking a gap year! I love ideas and helping others. My teaching philosophy is to:- understand where the student is- understand why they are there- work with them to change their understanding- support them in their practice (there is no substitute for homework!)I am all about the application and integration of ideas into the way you see the world.Real learning! Sincere understanding! In particular, I am a Fantastic ACT tutor.Overall: the questions are easy. time is the enemy. get enough reps to efficiently complete the test and score high!- Reading section: the answers are all in the text. you just have to find them within the allotted time- Science section: the challenge is to understand the situation presented. the questions are easy- Math: learn what the questions are. learn how to complete them the quick way- English: understand grammar rules and how to apply them- Writing: find a sincere interest in the prompt and don't stop writing

I am currently an undergrad at Vanderbilt University, majoring in Mathematics and Political Science. I have been tutoring students since high school, mostly in science and math. I've found that STEM courses are intimidating to many students, and I hope to get rid of that fear and promote an appreciation for numbers and the sciences. In my tutoring, I focus on helping students understand the concepts beneath the problems, so as to facilitate learning rather than memorization. I strongly believe that every student is capable of reaching a strong level of understanding in any subject, given the correct tools, a teacher who can offer what they need, and some hard work.I am also available for standardized test prep. The SAT and ACT are one of the biggest hurdles in the college admissions process, and a score can make or break an application. Luckily, students can prepare for these tests fairly easily - repetition, time-management, and concept-review are all most students need to improve their scores, and I am happy to teach them how to do it.In my free time, I enjoy hiking, running, reading books about international politics and history, watching TV and movies, and listening to music.

I am a freshman at Vanderbilt University studying biochemistry and involved in analytical chemistry research. Despite my studies being very science oriented, I also enjoy studying English and the humanities. I'd be happy to tutor you in any of these areas!

Hey! I'm a Colby College alum with a double major in Computer Science and Psychology, currently studying Computer Science at Vanderbilt as an Engineering Graduate Fellow. My tutoring/teaching journey began when I realized that I have a genuine passion for breaking down complex concepts, making them easy and enjoyable to understand. I enjoy making learning personalized and engaging, particularly in subjects I love such as computer science and psychology. Having discovered my ADHD in college, I understand firsthand that the typical way of studying doesn't work for everyone. This personal insight drives my tutoring approach, emphasizing the need for personalized learning experiences. I firmly believe that teaching should be flexible and learning should resonate with the learner above all. To me, success as a tutor means adjusting my methods to best fit each student's learning style. Outside of teaching, I love playing soccer (played for my college team!), rock climbing, or rollerblading. And, of course, coding - it's not just my field of study, it's my hobby. I also have a dog and two cats who keep life interesting :)

Hi! I'm Sukwon Jeong, and I've worked as a professional tutor for over three years. I graduated from Vanderbilt University with a BA in Economics and a BA History, and since have been working with hundreds of students on a freelance basis. Teaching has always been a passion of mine, and I have experience working both in-person at top test prep academies in the US and South Korea, as well as working with students from the US and around the world remotely. I specialize in Digital SAT, ACT, and SSAT test prep in both Reading/Writing and Math, and I also have extensive experience tutoring History and Economics subjects, including AP US History, AP World History, AP Microeconomics, and AP Macroeconomics. I'm excited to get to know you and help you succeed in whatever subject you might need help with!

I am currently a rising junior at Vanderbilt University. I am working on completing my Bachelor of Science in both Human & Organizational Development and Computer Science. I am most comfortable teaching Math, English, and Reading/Writing. I strive to make tutoring an enjoyable experience by accommodating to the learning styles of each student. Everyone is different and I try my best to ensure that my students are comfortable and engaged during their learning sessions. In my spare time I love working out, playing basketball, and watching anime.

While I teach history as a day job, I think in numbers at all other hours of the day. Whether it is carpentry, music, or sports, I see math as integral to our lived experience. It is my goal as an educator to bridge the gap between math in the abstract and in the everyday so that students can leverage what they know and understand to make sense of the world of numbers.I am a graduate of the University of Virginia where I earned a B.A. in Music and History. After college, I taught high school history in Africa and Maryland, conducted a school band, coached basketball, directed sailing programs, and worked at a furniture-making shop. Before moving to New York City last year, I received my M.Ed. from Vanderbilt University where I wrote my thesis on shop class and its value outside of vocational training. My dream is to teach geometry via the woodshop, but in the meantime, I am enjoying teaching history and tutoring math.I will feel successful when my students take ownership of their education, feel more confident in their understanding of math, and experience joy in learning.

I am currently an undergraduate student at Vanderbilt University. I am majoring in Biological Sciences and love helping others learn about STEM too! I have been a tutor since I was 12 years old and have tutored almost every age group in every subject.

I received my B.A. in Economics and Theatre with a minor in Corporate Strategy from Vanderbilt University. I recently obtained my M.F.A. in Acting from Brown University/Trinity Rep in Providence, Rhode Island, where I also taught undergraduate classes and tutored introductory Economics. Over the past ten years, I have taught additional classes in acting, history, musical theater, and even swimming! It is my experience that all students learn differently, and I enjoy finding with each student the best path for optimal results. Usually this means finding the intersection between the student's own interests and what the material has to offer. Outside of teaching, I enjoy running, yoga, reading, discovering anything at all, and watching the Bulls try valiantly in the NBA. I am also an actor and musician, most recently having performed in Much Ado About Nothing at The Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park.

I have a passion for learning and an earnest desire to cultivate that same passion in others.

I am a junior at Vanderbilt University studying Child Development and Art History, and I have always had a passion for tutoring and mentorship. Although most of my tutoring experience has been for elementary students in reading and math, I am most excited about tutoring middle and high schoolers because the subjects that are learned during these times are so much more detailed, dynamic, and interesting! These were also the years where my love of learning really took shape, and getting the opportunity to foster this same love and appreciation for learning in other students excites me.I am most passionate about Art History, US History, and Statistics, but also love tutoring in middle school Math and Pre-Algebra, as well as French, writing, and grammar. My teaching style is centered around building a strong relationship with students so that they feel comfortable asking any and all questions they may have about a subject. As someone who sometimes has a hard time speaking up in class to ask my teachers questions when I have them, I have always placed great emphasis on making sure my tutoring space is a safe place where students are not afraid of asking these questions and making mistakes! The most valuable lesson I have learned over the course of my academic career thus far is that there is just as much, if not more, that can be learned from mistakes compared to when you get the answer right the first time.Outside of academics, I love to run, hike, do yoga, read, listen to podcasts, and discover new music on Spotify.

I started tutoring younger kids when I was a Freshman in high school. I was fairly well known at my dancing school for being a bit of a bookworm, and I was frequently seen helping girls with some tough math homework before I went into class. Eventually, parents started asking me to help their children on a more regular basis: coming to their homes every week to help with homework or prepare for a big test. This experience is what started my love of teaching.As a sophomore in high school, I began working as a camp counselor at my church and even stayed during the year to volunteer as a Sunday school teacher. Plenty of my students would run out of the classroom to show their parents the craft we made or tell them the story that we learned that week. One of my students even picked me out at a basketball game and screamed "Miss Kelly!" until I went over to hug him. I certainly miss my students, but I had to leave them as I ventured to Nashville for my college career.Now as a Chemical Engineering major, I am still asked by my friends to help them with their math and chemistry homework. I get calls from home asking if I can get on Skype to explain something, and I am always happy to oblige. I understand that my education is a privilege, and I want to do my part to help every person have the same opportunities that I had.

I am a motivated and hardworking first-year PhD student at New York University, studying Data Science. I recently graduated from Vanderbilt University with a B.S. in Computer Science and the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign with an M.S. in Data Science.I have a passion for tutoring in an immense amount of subjects /standardized tests/essays, and helping others gain a greater sense of the material they are trying to master. More specifically, I love helping other students work through the intricacies of mathematics and programming problems and I strive to try to make myself smarter and more insightful through the process, as well! I have a wealth of experience in peer tutoring and along with the knowledge I have gained through my coursework, I am confident I can help you succeed.

I have enjoyed tutoring students for over 40 years. I remember my first student was the 7 grade daughter of the college librarian where I work at as an undergraduate at the University of North Alabama. I tutored her in math. I tutored numerous nursing students in chemistry while at graduate school at Vanderbilt University in Nashville where I received my PhD in 1985. I tutored students in science and math during my career as an industrial water treatment chemist. Upon retiring, I decided to continue tutoring part time as it still continues to bring me so much joy to help others suceed in their academic pursuits. I am the chemistry tutor at the tutor center at our local community college.
