Award-Winning Tutors from Wesleyan University

Hello I am Jake! I am a current sophomore student at Wesleyan University. I am majoring in education studies and economics and currently have a cumulative GPA of 91. I am also an alum of Regis High School in New York. I have experience tutoring and teaching in elementary and high school math and science. I also have experience with tutoring for high school and college admissions exams. I taught part of a 6th grade math curriculum to students over the summer as well. I have been tutoring since 2021. As an education studies student, I use the skills and information I gain from academic work to deliver engaging lessons that meet each student's individualized education needs.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received a Bachelors of Arts in Biology and Music in the spring of 2015. Since graduation, I have participated in science research internships while also preparing to take the GRE and attend a doctoral program in the biological sciences. In the summer of 2015, I participated in behavioral research on chimpanzees, and am now assisting with the skeletal archives at the American Museum of Natural History. I have had experience teaching as a peer mentor for college students in Introductory Biology, as a camp counselor at the Central Park Zoo, and as a tap dance instructor.My academic strengths are science, social sciences, music, and SAT preparation. I loved my time in primary and secondary school and hope to instill my excitement for learning into my tutees. While sometimes tests (both standardized and otherwise) can be tricky and decrease students' faith in themselves, I am certain that, with a little confidence boost, any student can make great strides with their coursework. As a teacher, I offer patience, humor, and brevity. I have enjoyed the time I've spent getting students to become engaged, excited, and proud of their knowledge. I look forward to giving my tutees this "confidence boost."

My experiences in the field of education have involved a variety of different areas, including elementary level math, reading, and writing, as well as Chemistry and Biology. As a Neuroscience liberal arts major, I have a background in a wide variety of subjects, allowing me to approach each subject using techniques that integrate methods from different topics. I have experience through a volunteer organization called Project Story Boost in which I tutored elementary school children from 3rd-4th grade in reading and comprehension. As a Big Sister, I also tutored a third grader in math and science. I was also a tutor for an Introductory level college Chemistry course at Bates College, in which I was paired individually with a student who needed assistance in understanding homework and lecture material. I have also been a teaching assistant for two different statistical analysis courses at Wesleyan University in which I held office hours and lectures to help students with their comprehension of the course material. My methods for teaching reading and writing involve integrating fun, exciting techniques that engage the student in the material. By involving different methods of approaching the material, the student will be exposed to the material in different ways, allowing him or her to become interested in the subjects.Though I have mastered the topics I am comfortable tutoring, I treat each tutoring session as a learning process in which the student and I learn the material together as a team. This type of tutoring dynamic fosters a positive learning environment in which the student is able to thrive. This environment allows students to replace the idea that the material is "too hard" with the idea that the material is an "exciting challenge." I am trained in different communication techniques that allow me to accurately assess the weak points for students, and using these points as a baseline for the session, I tailor each session to the student's individual needs. My greatest ambition as a tutor is to inspire children to both find and develop their own passions for learning.

I am a rising senior at Wesleyan University pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Government and Latin American Studies. I have extensive experience with Spanish-language coursework and tutoring: I spent a semester one-on-one tutoring a high school student in beginning Spanish, have taken countless university-level Spanish classes, have taken both the Language and Literature AP Spanish tests, and have traveled and lived abroad in Spanish-speaking countries.I also have experience tutoring elementary math; I spent an entire summer creating and teaching an original curriculum of basic skills math classes to high school students. I also took the SAT fairly recently and would love to pass my expertise on to any high school student preparing to take the test soon! My teaching style/philosophy is visual and practice-based. I always tailor my sessions to the the student's specific needs but I love to incorporate interactive activities and many practice problems.

I am a 2019 graduate of Wesleyan University where I studied Government and Romance Languages. Since graduation, I have done editorial work at the United Nations and worked in France as an English teacher. I tutor a range of subjects, but I particularly love helping people improve their writing because I believe being a good writer is one of the most important skills to have for success.

Learning improves your life. I have never been disappointed with having gained knowledge. I have found this truth to improve my circumstances in my professional and personal life. Sharing our knowledge is one of the greatest gifts we can give for individuals and for society as a whole. I seek to bring a joy and light-heartedness to learning that will encourage the student to overcome and perceived weaknesses and build confidence in their ability to learn on their own.

Hello! I'm a rising senior and Neuroscience & Behavior major at Wesleyan University in CT. I have extensive tutoring experience in subjects across the board but particularly in the sciences. I'm enthusiastic, warm, and eager to share my knowledge with and learn from you.

Hello! I am a rising 1L at the University of Chicago Law School with a background tutoring students from 5th grade through undergrad. As an undergraduate, I attended Wesleyan University where I studied religious studies, philosophy, European history, and theoretical economics. While there, I won honors for my writing and research.For students interested in improving their writing, I work with all age groups to cultivate an ear for rhythm, an eye for detail, a mind for research--and a stomach for revision, revision, revision.For the LSAT, we will come up with a plan for preparing that is customized to your schedule and goals. This plan will likely include daily drilling with real LSAT problems, supplemented by book reading and practice tests. During our sessions that target logical reasoning sections, we will focus on argument structure. We will work on identifying conclusions, premises, and assumptions in arguments, as well as how to use these skills to answer necessary and sufficient assumption questions. For analytical reasoning (logic games), we will break down the three most common types of games and focus on maintaining accuracy while building solving speed. Finally, for reading comprehension, we will work together to come up with an approach that emphasizes your strengths (like reading quickly, remembering details, annotating effectively) to move towards a higher score.I am looking forward to meeting you!

I'm a recent grad from Wesleyan University, where I've worked as a tutor, a teaching assistant, and a researcher. I've taught middle-schoolers how to program their own video games, interviewed monks in Minnesota, studied Dante under a world-class expert in Bologna, and edited transcripts on the history of philosophy since 300 BCE. I can proofread essays, perform long division, translate difficult texts, and find the derivative.Prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, my plans were to attend Columbia's School of Social Work, where I was hoping to counsel foster youth. Unfortunately, I've had to defer my enrollment to Columbia, but I'm still just as passionate about education and child welfare as ever. My goal as a tutor is to share with my students an excitement for learning, as well as a sense of wonder for the infinite potential of the written word.

I am a recent Wesleyan University graduate who is passionate about education. I majored in theater and psychology, which both emphasize connecting with other people. This skill is also essential in tutoring. My mother is Argentine and my father is from the United States, and I am fluent in Spanish and English. Having parents from two different countries has also ensured I am comfortable around different cultures and types of people. I'm excited to work with you and your families! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi! I'm a recent graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor's of Arts in European Studies, with a focus on history, literature and philosophy, specifically 20th century history and colonial studies. I also spent a semester abroad in France and went on to work there for several months. Since graduation, I have traveled extensively throughout Europe and am currently working several part-time jobs in New Haven with hopes of pursuing a career in urban development. I am passionate about learning and helping others realize their full potential!

I am passionate about taking the stress out of science (and maybe even make it fun)! I break down complex topics into clear steps and focus on the "why" behind them, not just memorizing the facts. With a background in molecular biology and research, I've learned how to explain tough topics in a ways that makes sense. I would love to help you feel confident, whether you're catching up, getting ahead, or aiming to ace your next test. I look forward to working with you :)

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'm a recent graduate of Wesleyan University, where I majored in English and received High Honors for my senior thesis. During college, I began tutoring through Upward Bound, a university-run program that provides resources for low-income high school students. At Upward Bound, I worked twice a week with the same students, helping them not only with homework, studying, and mastering the material, but also in honing their study skills and applying to colleges.I'm currently working part-time at a Montessori school in Richmond, Virginia, so I've worked with . I've also been a camp counselor for years, and have led various activities there, including low ropes, chess, archery, swimming, canoeing, and creative writing. I'm passionate not only about learning but about teaching how to learn, emphasizing the techniques of mastering material as well as teaching the material itself.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I always did well in school but rarely played by the book. This seems to be a theme in my life, refusing to accept the world just as it is presented to me. I am a kind of person who tends to make life harder on themselves because I cannot seem to bend my will to fit the mainstream. In academic settings my visual learning disability necessitated that I find success in creative outlets and work more closely with my teachers (I was always doing alternative projects that could demonstrate my knowledge of the material). Another example might be my gender, which I have found over the past several years to be neither male nor female (talk about uninterrogated mainstreams). I have found tremendous joy, peace of mind, and perhaps even success in accepting these way of being and adapting to embrace them.I went to a performing arts High school where I studied theater, Music and all the regular requirements. I have been fluent in Spanish since age 10 thanks to my Cuban father's efforts in assimilating my brother and I. Toward the end of high school I was mostly taking classes at Amherst College and volunteering as a teaching assistant for the pre-GED class at an adult basic education center. I spent one spring at a Quaker semester program in California. I was raised Quaker and as such many of the most important experiences in my life have been facilitated through Quaker programs. I was very lucky after High School (as we know college admittance is a crap shoot)to be accepted early decision to Wesleyan University, where I continued to pursue Theater as a playwright. In college I was a tutor for creative non-fiction classes. I also gained a lot of experience workshopping various written forms in group and one on one settings. As a writer I have learned that good writing is mostly about editing and revising. I have come to love helping others through the sometimes heart breaking process of uncovering what they were really meaning to say. It is so important to have another set of eyes seeing what you may be too close to your writing to see.learning well is about knowing oneself. You have to trust your gut in order to learn about what you need to engaged with a subject. Learning is not easy. It is not a science. Sometime there will be things that just won't stick in your head. But you can have support and someone to keep you on track and keep you motivated.

I am a professional tutor specializing in essay writing on all subjects, creative writing, grammar and reading comprehension. I am also a professional editor and dramaturg, working with professional authors to help them refine and deepen their manuscripts. I am currently on the faculty of a major university's graduate program in Writing, and have previously been on the faculty of Purchase College, SUNY in the BFA writing program and at the New School in their MFA writing program.I have a wide-ranging and very active curiosity! I'm an information sponge. One of my favorite parts of being a writing tutor is learning about my clients' subjects. I have had clients hire me to help them write essays on everything from midwifery to international conflict zones and world orders and have loved the knowledge I have gained along the way. In this way, I learn as much from my clients as they do from me.In addition to going over the basics of good essay writing like organization, development of ideas, sentence and paragraph structure, use of vocabulary, etc., I also employ a system of "neutral questions" to help writers go deeper into their own ideas, synthesize their thoughts, and locate their own areas of deepest engagement. I find that this technique almost always leads to bigger, more complex ideas, more passionate rhetorical argument and more thorough work -- in short, better writing. I then work with you to structure your writing most effectively. Because my focus is on helping you go deeper into your own ideas and helping you develop and organize your thoughts and writing, there is no subject we can't create great writing on together.I am a graduate of The Dalton School and Wesleyan University, and have tutored and worked in the Writing Workshop of both institutions. My academic writing has won the GLAAD Prize, a nationally recognized award for scholarship. I'm also a theater artist and have won the Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience. I enjoy culture of all kinds -- music, movies, books, magazines, online content, etc.I look forward to helping you with all of your verbal, reading and writing needs.

Hi! My name is Laura! I am a rising senior in college where I am majoring in Biology and minoring in Chemistry. I have four years of tutoring experience, tutoring students on SAT prep as well as college essay writing. I believe that each student is unique and requires a tutoring approach tailored to their individual learning style. By identifying the setting in which a student learns best, I can help students best expand their knowledge to new levels while maintaining a fun and engaging environment. I have a background of working with all kinds of students, including those with disabilities, ADHD, high achievers, and those who may require more support. I am passionate about learning and want to cultivate that experience for as many students as I can!

Hello! My name is Irene, nice to meet you. I'm recent college graduate with academic experience across the board, including history (my major), data analysis (my minor), music, sociology, Spanish, and math, and I love sharing what I know with other students. Before college, I wrote many a college application essay and took practice test upon practice test for the SAT, SAT subject tests, AP tests, and ACTs. I was greatly helped by my academic mentors back then and would love to help you out now if you need assistance with that process.I've tutored in a variety of subjects for several years, including algebra, Spanish, Python, and U.S. civics, and I'm a strong believer in everyone getting the academic help they need. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need assistance with any of the subjects I can teach!

Hi ! I enjoy helping people learn statistics, probability, and coding in python and R. I think these subjects are often taught by teachers who don't have empathy for their students who might struggle with the material. I will work with you to take on the material, and will help you take it on in small chunks, making sure you understand and feel confident each step of the way. I'm excited to work with you!

Strategic, high-energy, confident professional bridging the gap between goals and accomplishments

I am a professional and engaging ESL Instructor with a bachelor's degree from Wesleyan University and a Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) from the University of Cambridge. I also have certificates in Teaching Business English and Teaching English Online. I speak native American English.I currently teach ESL at Empire State English, an accredited language school, and RISSE, the Refugee Immigrant Support Services of Emmaus. I have taught at elementary schools, secondary schools, language schools, non-profit organizations, and as a private tutor. I have worked with all ages, including kids, business employees, working adults, parents, and students. My students are from all around the globe, including China, Brazil, Afghanistan, Syria, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iran, Ecuador, and Russia.My areas of expertise for ESL are Business English, Pronunciation, and Communication. My approach to teaching Business English is to develop specific areas of functional language to allow you to succeed in your job. I can teach you how to write effective business reports, negotiate with clients, give presentations, network, attend business meetings, conduct or participate in interviews, write emails, and travel for work, to name some.I also tutor for Visual Arts (my expertise is drawing), the USCIS Citizenship test, and elementary and secondary education. I am very good at what I do:-I identify learning goals and specific needs and provide strategies to address them.- I tailor lessons to fit your interests, cultural backgrounds, and learning styles.- I help to smooth out accents, improve fluency, and build confidence.- I teach the essentials of English grammar, lexis, form, and phonology.- I develop your understanding and familiarity with American culture and customs.- I provide personalized homework assignments for your continued growth outside of the classroom.I am most inspired as a teacher when students are inspired about their learning. My teaching philosophy is that students need to feel safe and supported, to feel seen and respected, to be active agents in their own learning, and to receive clear and accessible instruction.You will obtain direct, measurable results from my English classes. I am excited to work with you!

I have been tutoring students in math and science and standardized test prep for over ten years. All of my students' scores and grades have improved. As one mom said "Before Gil, Ethan was getting a C in chemistry. After Gil, A-!! Thank you Gil!!" I can help you!I have unlimited patience (thanks in part to raising my seven year old son!) and am very supportive. I encourage questions and believe in making a safe environment where any question is encouraged and no one is afraid to tell me they don't understand something, or to go over something, even if we have already gone over it. Sometimes a different angle or explanation is required, as every student learns differently. I love when my students have that "A-ha!" moment, when something that was not clear becomes clear.I realize all students are different and am happy to work in different subjects with students of different levels and ages and abilities. I can help you!

I am a native speaker of French who grew up in a French Caribbean household in New York City. I am passionate about all areas of the Francophone world, but I love discussing with my students French literature and music especially. I have been teaching French in some of the best independent schools in the country for the past six years at the middle and high school level. I have also tutored French to students privately at the middle and high school levels. I received my bachelor's degree at Wesleyan University and my master's degree at Middlebury College. I am currently working towards a second masters from New York University. I enjoy tutoring French because I love empowering students and teaching them the beauty of the language that I grew up with and know very well ! I teach using comprehensible input (music, stories, and different multimedia sources) that have my students speaking and practicing from the very first lesson. I look forward to meeting and working with you !

I graduated from Wesleyan University in 2013 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in French Studies and College of Letters (a multi-disciplinary program that includes English, history and philosophy). I wrote my senior honors thesis on the 1980 Berber Spring in Algeria and 2011 Libyan Revolution. During a semester abroad in Paris, I tutored elementary school children as an English language assistant. While at Wesleyan, I also worked as an ESL instructor, tutoring a Moroccan immigrant and helping him to gain citizenship and employment. Education has given me the opportunity to find what I am passionate about, and I hope to help others gain that same opportunity through tutoring. I tutor in English, French, and standardized tests, and especially enjoy helping students think about subjects creatively and from new angles. My largest interest, outside of education, is music. I worked throughout college as a music director at Wesleyan's radio station, and currently work as a producer and staff writer for Afropop Worldwide, a non-profit radio show dedicated to African music and music of the African diaspora. I also love watching independent films and reading fiction and philosophy. I love living in Brooklyn, but I enjoy leaving the city to go hiking, and I bike throughout the city as much as possible.

I am a true New England boy, and am an alumnus of Wesleyan, Yale and Uconn Law School. I was a double major in Political Science and Psychology and enjoy the intersection of the two. I have taught for over twenty years most recently as a professor of Law and Criminology at UB. I also lived in Hong Kong and taught test prep to some of the world's most aspirational students.

My name is Howe. I graduated from Wesleyan University in May, and I recently moved from New York to West Philly, where I am very excited to be working with Varsity Tutors. I love being able to work with students in a one-on-one setting; for students to truly grasp difficult concepts, they must be able to discuss the material freely with their teacher, which is rarely possible in a classroom setting. For writing especially, one-on-one tutoring is essential to developing one's skills. As a Varsity Tutor, I hope to not only strengthen students' writing and academic performance, but also make them feel more confident in their ability to learn.

I'm a clinical psychologist recently out of grad school. I'm passionate about teaching, test prep, and coaching. I look forward to working with you.

Hi there! I'm Tom, and I'm a junior in the College of East Asian Studies at Wesleyan University. I spent the fall semester abroad in Hangzhou at the Middlebury School in China, and have been taking Mandarin since middle school. Whether you're looking for extra practice for school or want to brush up before a trip, or maybe even just want a conversation partner, I'm here to help!

From October 2009 through August 2014, I worked as a tutor (20+ hours per week) with a highly respected tutoring company. I tutored students of all ages in the areas of reading, writing, and math. I also prepared students for the SAT and ISEE. In September 2013, I started my own business doing private tutoring. I have continued to work with students of all ages in the areas of reading, writing, and math, and I have continued to prepare students for the SAT and ISEE. In general, about half of my students are doing test preparation and half are getting some kind of help with school. At the tutoring center where I worked, we had a number of students who were being tutored in order to become very advanced in their studies at school and to gain admission to highly selective colleges by getting top-notch scores on their SAT. We also had students who were struggling to do well in their classes and therefore needed help with their homework and with understanding the material they were learning in school. I worked successfully with both kinds of students. My approach to tutoring is definitely gentle, but also firm in terms of expecting my students to work hard during the tutoring sessions and to work diligently on any homework I might assign. I am sensitive to the learning styles of my students and do everything I can to communicate in a way that makes sense to them. I often make use of visuals and manipulatives in teaching various concepts. My goal is to enable students to really understand the material they are studying. I am happy to use whatever school or other materials that parents and/or students would like. I am also prepared to suggest additional materials that might be helpful for a particular student in a specific subject area. I am familiar with a number of very helpful resources. Before working at the tutoring center, I was actively involved in the homeschooling community. I homeschooled my older two children through high school and my younger two children through 8th grade. I also taught enrichment classes in the areas of math, science, music, and art to students of all ages in a homeschool co-op, for a total of eight years.

I have a Ph.D. in mathematics.I have taught mathematics for 13 years at different levels, such as middle school, high school, private tutoring, and university.

I have worked in finance since 1984 with leading investment firms including Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and Fidelity Investments. I have also taught finance at the college level and I have taught economics and history at the high school level since 1990. Many of my former students went on to study economics at schools like Stanford, Princeton, USC, Wharton and my alma mater, the University of Michigan. I will make the study of finance and economics not only fun, but relevant to your career interests.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, a liberal arts college in Connecticut. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Education Studies with a minor in East Asian Studies. I completed my Master of Arts in Psychology conducting research in the Community-engaged Adolescent for Research and Equity (CARE) Lab. At Wesleyan University, I was a teaching assistant for Advanced Korean, Korean Language Partner, and a Korean tutor for the Dean's Peer Tutoring program. While I have tutored a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Korean as I am a Korean-American myself. As Korean culture has been expanding globally, I think it is important to properly learn the culture and the language. In my experience helping students learn Korean to achieve their goals, whether that is to communicate with family, study in Korea, and/or travel to Korea, is always such a fun and rewarding experience. I am willing to adapt to the needs of my tutee/student at their pace and goals to learn.

I love science because I love the thought process that goes into it. I currently work as a biology professor, and my favorite part of my job is helping students make connections with the class material. I believe that learning to think critically about the world has applications far beyond the classroom, and watching students learn to evaluate claims and think deeply about a topic is very rewarding.My goals are to help anyone who wants to learn, and to help students love science as much as I do. I emphasize mostly concept and problem based learning, rather than route memorization. Memorization is often a necessary first step to learning a topic, but mastering a concept allows students to work through problems they haven't seen before.

I'm a writer with a degree from Wesleyan University and a background in humanities tutoring. I cover European, World, and US history, as well as writing, reading comp, and literature topics. I've been a writing mentor and a course grader at the college level, and have more than three years experience working with high school and middle school students - everything from homework help to college application essays. I also do GRE and SAT verbal section prep. In my spare time, I have strong opinions on film and television, drink a lot of tea, and travel as much as I can.

I graduated with honors from the College of Letters at Wesleyan University in 2013. As a part of my undergraduate program of study, I spent a semester at the University of Bologna in Italy and completed a thesis project. While at Wesleyan, I tutored Elementary students and fellow undergraduates. During the year after I graduated, I worked as an English instructor in South Korea. I am comfortable with a wide range of subjects, but I have a particular fondness for history and literature, and I am particularly experienced at helping students with their writing. I'm currently working my way through the required courses to apply to Medical School, and I'm excited to share my newfound passion for the sciences with younger students. I believe that academic success can lead students to personal growth as well as a brighter future. I enjoy helping my students achieve their goals, whether they are seeking to master a subject they find challenging or improve their scores on a standardized test. When I'm not studying (or at the lab) myself, I'm either at dance class, cooking a large meal for my friends, or appreciating the arts at a performance, gallery, or museum.

I graduated from Amherst College with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics in 2009, and from Wesleyan University with a Masters of Arts Liberal Studies with a concentration in Mathematics in 2018. While at Amherst I spent a semester abroad at the University of Edinburgh. I also attended Columbia Teachers College's Klingenstein Summer Institute in the summer of 2012. I've been teaching professionally since I graduated from college--first at a charter school, then at a boarding school, and now at an independent day school--but my teaching experience started in childhood, when I helped my four younger siblings with their homework. I've taught English and History before, but now I'm a full-time math teacher, and I teach everything from Algebra to Geometry to PreCalculus to Calc, and I've worked with students at the honors, college prep and fundamentals levels. My students appreciate my energy, positivity, and love of math, and they know how much I care about them. In addition to teaching, I am also a high school varsity coach with a record of success in football and lacrosse.

I'm a current MBA/MS candidate at the University of Michigan, as well as a graduate of Wesleyan University with honors. I've tutored both domestic and international students over the last decade. I love working with students who are passionate about where they want to go and what they want to do in life.I'm here to understand your GRE goals, and help you navigate the process to getting there. Not everyone has, or needs to have the same goals, so I'll work with you to personalize your study plan. I look forward to helping you achieve those goals!I have a combined 334 overall score, good for 99th percentile of test takers. Moreover, while the verbal portion comes naturally to me, I had to work my way up from an initially average quantitative score to the score mentioned above.That means I know what it's like to struggle with math, and achieve significant improvement over time. I'll help you disassemble both the quantitative and verbal sections, understand your strengths and weaknesses, and build towards your desired score.Whether you're looking for a couple hours of tutoring, or a customized study plan for the next few months, I hope you'll reach out to chat!

I am currently pursuing my Masters in Public Health at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. I received my B.A. in Psychology and Environmental Studies at Wesleyan University. In high school, I was selected by my teachers to tutor classmates in Chemistry, Physics, and Geometry. I helped students with homework problems and with test preparation (both for in-class exams and for the SAT Subject Tests). As an undergraduate, I was a teaching assistant for introductory Russian, and worked with students both in group and in individual sessions.My academic background is varied, and thus I am able to tutor students in a range of topics, including Environmental Science, Biology, Psychology, Statistics, French, Russian, English Language and Literature, and exam preparation (SAT, ACT, AP and GRE). My favorite topics to tutor in are Biology and Environmental Science, since I love sharing my interest in the science and using it to help students better understand and enjoy these exciting fields.My teaching philosophy is best summarized as "show not tell" -- I find that guiding students such that they can arrive at the answers themselves, rather than just explaining the problem, helps them fully realize their potential for success. When I'm not learning or teaching, I spend my time reading, running and baking.
