I am a current civil engineering graduate at Stony Brook University. I enjoy helping students in my free time, especially those with interests associated with STEM, to understand the material they are learning in their academics.

Hello and welcome! I'm thrilled to share my passion for teaching. I believe learning should be an adventure, whether we're exploring math or science! In my portal, questions are encouraged, and curiosity is celebrated. I strive to create a supportive environment where each student's unique strengths shine. My approach blends creativity with rigor, making lessons both engaging and relevant. Let's embark on this journey together, discovering new ideas and making learning a memorable experience!
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 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 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'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 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 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 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 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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Engineering students often find thermodynamics and chemical kinetics particularly challenging because they require connecting abstract molecular behavior to real-world energy and reaction rate problems. Balancing redox reactions, understanding equilibrium constants in industrial contexts, and applying stoichiometry to material science calculations are also common pain points. Many students struggle less with memorizing facts and more with visualizing how molecular-level chemistry determines material properties—like why certain alloys behave differently or how pH affects corrosion in pipes and structures.
A tutor experienced in Chemistry for Engineers bridges the gap between pure chemistry theory and practical engineering by showing how concepts apply to materials selection, corrosion prevention, battery design, and chemical processing. For example, instead of just learning Le Chatelier's principle abstractly, a tutor might explain how shifting equilibrium conditions optimizes industrial synthesis of ammonia or how temperature control affects concrete curing. This application-focused approach helps students understand why they're learning the chemistry and builds intuition for solving design problems they'll encounter in their major courses.
Tutors can help you develop stronger lab technique, understand the chemistry behind each experimental step, and improve your ability to interpret results and troubleshoot when experiments don't go as planned. Beyond procedure, a tutor can help you think like an engineer—designing experiments to test specific hypotheses, controlling variables properly, and connecting your observations to underlying chemical principles. This is especially valuable for students who struggle with the scientific reasoning required to move beyond "following the recipe" to actually understanding what's happening at the molecular level.
In engineering, a unit conversion error can lead to catastrophic failures—mixing the wrong proportions of reactants in a synthesis, miscalculating pressure in a reactor, or getting material composition wrong. Chemistry for Engineers demands precision with molar calculations, mass-to-mole conversions, and scaling reactions from lab to industrial scale. A tutor can help you develop systematic approaches to dimensional analysis and stoichiometry so these conversions become automatic, reducing errors and building confidence when tackling complex multi-step problems involving reactants, products, and limiting reagents.
Many students find molecular visualization challenging because it requires thinking in three dimensions while understanding how electron behavior drives material properties. Tutors can use molecular models, interactive simulations, and drawing techniques to help you visualize bonding geometry, orbital overlap, and how structure determines properties like conductivity or melting point. Connecting these visualizations to real materials you've seen—semiconductors, polymers, metals—makes the concepts stick and helps you predict how changes in molecular structure will affect engineering performance.
Engineering chemistry problems often involve multiple steps: identifying what chemistry principle applies, setting up the correct equation, converting units properly, and interpreting whether your answer makes physical sense. Tutors help you build a systematic approach—starting with drawing out what you know, identifying what type of problem it is (equilibrium, kinetics, thermodynamics), and checking your work against real-world constraints. Developing these strategies early prevents the common pattern of getting lost halfway through complex problems and helps you tackle unfamiliar problem types with confidence.
Look for a tutor with strong chemistry fundamentals who also understands engineering applications and can explain why engineers care about specific concepts. Ideally, they've taken or taught Chemistry for Engineers specifically, not just general chemistry, and can speak to how chemistry connects to materials science, thermodynamics, and chemical engineering. Experience helping students move from memorization to deep conceptual understanding—and comfort with both theoretical explanations and practical problem-solving—is essential for making the subject click.
Chemistry for Engineers exams typically go beyond simple recall and test your ability to apply concepts to novel engineering scenarios—like predicting material behavior under specific conditions or optimizing reaction conditions. A tutor helps you practice this type of reasoning by working through problems that require you to identify which principles apply, set up the chemistry correctly, and interpret results in an engineering context. Regular practice with increasingly complex, application-focused problems builds the problem-solving flexibility you need to handle exam questions you've never seen before.
