I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
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 am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I'm eager to help you in your education. I'm a recent graduate of Harvard College looking to apply to law school. My senior thesis was written on John Dewey's ideas of education, which I deeply believe has incredible power to transform individuals and society.
I am currently a senior at Harvard College where I study chemistry, and I'll be attending Columbia Medical School next year. I have years of experience tutoring college students in math (mostly calculus) and chemistry including both general and organic chemistry. In addition, I am very familiar with all sections of the SAT and ACT having prepared several high school students for these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these tests, so long as he or she works hard to get to know the format of the tests and the most popular types of questions. I tutor because I love seeing students develop a genuine passion for the subjects they once disliked (such as math and science), once they understand the power of these subjects and their applications to the real world.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mathematical Computing combines mathematics with computational thinking—using algorithms, coding, and data analysis to solve problems. It bridges abstract mathematical concepts with real-world applications in science, engineering, finance, and technology. Students learn not just what to calculate, but how to design solutions, write efficient code, and interpret computational results. This skill set is increasingly valued across STEM fields and helps students think logically about complex problems.
Many students can follow steps in code or mathematical procedures without grasping why those steps work. Expert tutors help you move beyond memorization by asking probing questions, walking through algorithms step-by-step with visual aids, and having you trace code or logic by hand. This builds the conceptual foundation that makes it easier to write original code, debug errors, and adapt solutions to new problems. Personalized instruction lets tutors identify exactly where understanding breaks down and rebuild from there.
Students often struggle with several key areas:
- Translating word problems into code: Understanding what a problem is asking and knowing which algorithm or data structure to use
- Debugging: Identifying why code produces unexpected output and systematically fixing it
- Complexity analysis: Understanding Big O notation and why algorithm efficiency matters
- Logic and proof: Writing formal arguments to justify that an algorithm works correctly
- Mathematical notation: Reading and writing mathematical expressions, summations, and formal definitions
Personalized tutoring addresses these gaps with targeted strategies and practice tailored to your learning style.
A strong Mathematical Computing tutor should demonstrate:
- Deep knowledge of both discrete mathematics and programming—they understand how concepts like graph theory, recursion, or combinatorics apply in code
- Ability to explain the why behind algorithms, not just the steps
- Experience with your specific programming language and curriculum (Python, Java, C++, etc.)
- Skill at debugging alongside you, teaching problem-solving strategies rather than just giving answers
- Patience with math anxiety and ability to build confidence through clear explanations and achievable milestones
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in Mathematical Computing and understand how to make abstract concepts concrete and accessible.
In Mathematical Computing, "showing your work" means documenting your thinking—writing comments in code, explaining your algorithm choice, and justifying why your solution is correct. Expert tutors teach you to write clear pseudocode before coding, annotate complex sections, and use diagrams (like flowcharts or state diagrams) to visualize your logic. They also help you practice writing formal proofs or complexity arguments. Regular feedback on your explanations builds the communication skills that matter in real-world computing roles.
Absolutely. One of the biggest breakthroughs in Mathematical Computing is recognizing that abstract concepts like matrices, functions, and logic directly power real algorithms. Tutors help you build these mental bridges by showing how a mathematical proof translates into code, how linear algebra enables graphics programming, or how number theory underpins cryptography. This deeper pattern recognition transforms Mathematical Computing from a collection of isolated tasks into a cohesive skill set—and makes learning faster and more enjoyable.
With consistent personalized instruction, you can expect to:
- Write clearer, more efficient code with fewer bugs
- Understand algorithm design well enough to solve novel problems, not just repeat examples
- Build confidence reading and writing mathematical notation and formal arguments
- Improve grades on assignments, projects, and exams through targeted practice and feedback
- Develop problem-solving strategies you can apply across multiple courses and contexts
The timeline varies based on your starting point and goals, but most students see meaningful progress within a few weeks of regular sessions.
