BA Northeastern University
9+ Years Tutoring

I'm currently a student at Northeastern University. Originally from Tennessee, I attended an all-male boarding and day school for high school, and was given a lot of opportunities to pursue advanced coursework and opportunities that weren't available to 99% of students in the area. As a result, I've joined Varsity Tutors as an effort to give back and try to help students get excited about learning various subjects, employing many of the methods that allowed me to succeed. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about standardized test prep, math (all levels), writing, and economics.

Surya
BA Johns Hopkins University
1+ Years Tutoring

As a Neuroscience major at Johns Hopkins University, I've had the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of complex scientific and mathematical conceptsknowledge I'm passionate about sharing with students through tutoring. I've worked extensively with students in both academic and mentorship roles, and I find the most rewarding part of tutoring is helping students grow their confidence and ability to tackle difficult problems on their own. I specialize in SAT and ACT test preparation, particularly in the Math and Science sections. I enjoy guiding students through problem-solving strategies and simplifying challenging concepts, whether it's interpreting data in a science passage or navigating tricky algebraic expressions. My background as a PILOT leader, supporting students in Calculus and Biology, has shaped a collaborative and encouraging teaching style. I aim to meet students where they are, identify their learning strengths, and help them build a foundation they can trust on test day and beyond. Outside of tutoring, I conduct research in a neurosurgical laboratory where I work with brain imaging and machine learning to better understand tumor pathology. I also serve my community as a volunteer in pediatric and trauma hospital departments and as a camp counselor and development coordinator for children impacted by cancer. These experiences have taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of individualized supportvalues I bring into every tutoring session. Whether I'm walking students through a math section or breaking down scientific reasoning questions, my goal is to empower them with the tools and mindset they need to succeed. I strive to make learning engaging, approachable, and personally meaningful for each student I work with.

Charles
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

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!

Dennis
MS Vanderbilt University • BA Grinnell College
1+ Years Tutoring

I'm an Iowa native who moved to Nashville for graduate school. My background is in the life sciences; I have a Masters from Vanderbilt in Chemical and Physical Biology, and my undergraduate degree is in Biochemistry. However, my education has been well rounded and I have interests in philosophy, literature, writing, and history. I have extensive research experience, and I hope to share my passion for science with students. I have experience mentoring undergraduate students during my graduate school education to help them gain research experience. I am a very patient teacher and have the ability to see problems from the students perspective; my tutoring style adapts to each student's individual needs, but centers on getting each student to come to their solutions rather than following any one formula for success. I have a lot of experience with standardized testing, and have taken multiple AP subject tests in addition to the ACT, SAT, and GRE examinations.

BA Vanderbilt University
8+ Years Tutoring

I'm a sophomore at Vanderbilt University studying computer science, currently focusing on iOS and game development. I like growing as a person, but I find it much more interesting and rewarding to grow other people. Seeing a student change, not in intellect but in perspective, is fascinating. I like to focus more on concepts rather than memorization so that students will have the tools to excel in any facet of academia, beyond some random test that holds too much significance.

Lisa
BA Vanderbilt University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a sophomore pursuing a bachelor of arts degree in Medicine, Health, and Society. Being a student, Ive understood the frustration of not knowing what to do or who to turn to in the moment I dont understand something. This feeling can be very disheartening, but having the right person to guide you can make all the difference. For struggling students, I want to be that person to help them reach their full potential. In high school, I tutored people (mostly high school students like myself at the time) within the community, and it was personally rewarding every time I saw a student gain confidence in their studies.
