Who needs tutoring?
No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.

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 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 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 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 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 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 am currently attending Johns Hopkins University, pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Applied Math and Statistics. I love helping students and I love the feeling I get knowing that I was able to use my knowledge to make someone else happier. My favorite subject to teach is math because there are so many ways to learn it and if one way does not help I can use another. I used to teach taekwondo and interacted with all kinds of students, and I'm excited to help out more!
I am exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the first-generation and low-income student community as the Outreach Chair of the Quest+ Scholars Network, and getting involved with the Society of Women Engineers' outreach committee. I currently hold a work-study position as an administrative clerical aide in the Institute of Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern and was an undergraduate researcher in the John Rogers Lab. As I look forward with aspirations of applying to graduate school, areas of research in biomedical engineering and biotechnology that I am particularly interested in include biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery systems. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy learning on my own and sharing my experience and knowledge with my peers and other students. I hope to make use of my experiences with academics and learning in high school and so far in my undergraduate career in order to effectively tutor students who may be experiencing the same struggles in learning that I also experienced.

Frequently Asked Questions
Metal-ligand bonding involves abstract concepts like sigma and pi interactions, molecular orbital theory, and three-dimensional coordination geometry that are difficult to grasp from textbooks alone. A tutor can break down these interactions step-by-step, use molecular models and visualizations, and connect bonding theory to observable properties like color, reactivity, and stability.
Personalized tutoring helps you move beyond memorization to develop a genuine understanding of why certain ligands bond preferentially to metals and how electronic structure determines reactivity—skills essential for success in advanced chemistry courses.
Organometallic reaction mechanisms—like oxidative addition, reductive elimination, and migratory insertion—involve multiple steps and electron counting that can feel overwhelming. Tutors help you develop a systematic approach: learning electron-counting rules, understanding common mechanistic patterns, and practicing mechanism prediction on various transformations.
Rather than trying to memorize every reaction, personalized instruction focuses on building your problem-solving framework so you can apply mechanistic principles to unfamiliar reactions. Tutors often use real examples from catalysis and synthesis to show why these mechanisms matter.
Organometallic chemistry isn't just theoretical—it underlies catalysis, materials science, and synthesis. Tutors can connect concepts like Grubbs catalyst, Heck coupling, and cross-coupling reactions to actual laboratory techniques and industrial processes, making abstract theory tangible.
Understanding real-world applications helps you see why mastering coordination chemistry, ligand design, and mechanism prediction matters beyond exams. This context often strengthens both conceptual understanding and retention of complex material.
Success in organometallic chemistry requires solid understanding of general chemistry (bonding, electron counting), organic chemistry (reaction mechanisms, functional groups), and inorganic chemistry (acid-base chemistry, coordination chemistry basics). Many students struggle when gaps exist in these prerequisites.
Tutors can quickly identify weak areas and bridge gaps through targeted review, allowing you to build confidence in organometallic topics without feeling held back. This ensures you understand not just how to solve problems, but why the underlying chemistry works the way it does.
Organometallic exams often test your ability to apply concepts to unfamiliar scenarios—electron counting for new complexes, predicting mechanisms, or analyzing spectroscopic data. Effective preparation combines understanding core principles with extensive practice on diverse problem types.
Personalized tutoring includes working through challenging problem sets, practicing under exam conditions, and identifying your specific weak spots before test day. Tutors help you develop strategies for tackling multi-step problems and recognizing reaction patterns, building both confidence and performance.
Excellent organometallic chemistry tutors combine deep knowledge of metal-ligand chemistry with the ability to explain abstract concepts clearly. They use visualizations, molecular models, and worked examples to help you see how different concepts connect. They're also skilled at identifying exactly where confusion arises—whether it's electron counting, mechanism prediction, or ligand effects.
The best tutors meet you at your level, adjust their explanations when something isn't clicking, and help you develop problem-solving strategies rather than just providing answers. They can also connect theory to real chemistry, making the subject feel relevant and less overwhelming.
With consistent personalized instruction, you should develop confidence in core competencies: electron counting, understanding coordination geometry, predicting reactivity based on ligand properties, and analyzing reaction mechanisms. You'll move from struggling with basic concepts to applying them to complex, multi-step problems.
Most importantly, you'll shift from viewing organometallic chemistry as a collection of facts to understand to mastery of unifying principles. This deeper understanding translates to better exam performance, stronger foundation for advanced courses, and genuine interest in how metal-based catalysis shapes modern chemistry and industry.
