I'm from Philadelphia by way of Boston where I attended Brandeis University for Music Composition and Psychology. I am a musician and composer by trade, and I play saxophone, guitar, and piano (and I teach lessons in all 3!). Most recently, I've been involved in social work with people diagnosed with mental illnesses. Throughout college and during my 4 years in social work, I tutored individuals of all ages and abilities. During that time, I learned that anyone is capable of learning any subject they want. In addition, with the assistance of the right teacher, they are able to find a way to relate to the material on a more personal level. I believe that my role as a tutor is to guide a student to understand the material, while it is the student's job to remember and understand that process in order to use that material in the future. My schedule is flexible, and I am open to twice weekly sessions if you need help before a big paper or test. I hope to work with you soon!

I teach private lessons that are based on your needs. I am an experienced tutor with over a decade of teaching, training, and tutoring. I tutor writing, listening comprehension, speaking skills, and grammar, as well as other subjects. Lessons from me will help you improve your communication skills, depth and breadth of English language, and gain confidence in using the English language. During the lessons, I provide information about American culture and lifestyle to assist with acculturation, as well.I have taught students from elementary school to adults, privately as well as in schools, colleges and adult education centers, and I am currently a faculty member at a local community college. I am certified in Teaching English as a Second Language and also have a Masters Degree in International Education from Harvard University, with a focus on educational systems in other countries. I have lived, taught, and worked in over 30 countries, speak five languages, and have strong cross-cultural skills that help make me a strong tutor for people from around the world.
Hi! I received a BA in history from Brandeis University and an MS from Columbia in Nutrition. I love reading and studying history, but my true passion is medicine. I currently work as an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) and am in the process of applying to medical school.I first started tutoring fellow students in high school. In college I helped fifth graders at the local public school after school with their homework. I have experience with a broad age range and I enjoy the differences in approach that each student demands. I believe that a tutor must have patience. This allows students to work at their own pace as they find the approach that works for them.In my free time I love reading historical fiction novels, watching TV (especially baseball), taking my dog to the dog park, playing basketball.
I obtained my M.S. in chemistry at Brandeis university, and my B.A. in chemistry and environmental studies at Williams College where I spent 4 of my 5 years as a teaching assistant, serving in both laboratory and classroom settings. I also operated as a private tutor for 3 years. Moreover, at Williams College I was a chemistry tutor for the Math/Science Resource Center for 2 years, in addition to being a peer tutor for an environmental studies class: Humans and the Biosphere. During my prior teaching experience, I discovered my favored teaching method: getting to know my students in a one-on-one environment, and learning about their interests. I then try to relate my teaching to my student's interests. If I can find an example relevant to their interests, I will use it. And if I'm using a metaphor, again, I try to choose metaphors most relevant to them.I specialize in a mix of organic chemistry and biochemistry, but I have a broad liberal arts background, so my knowledge can range from astronomy to theater to art history to baking. Some of the most fun chemistry occurs in the kitchen.
I'm a tutor, actor and singer living in New York City. I moved to New York after graduating from Brandeis University last spring.My favorite thing about tutoring is learning how vastly different our brains work. It's fascinating to me to see all the different ways we perceive things as humans, and I love finding ways of learning that work for each individual. I see tutoring as an opportunity to explore and learn.When I'm not tutoring I love reading and exploring the beautiful parks in NYC.
I enjoy tutoring because I love the chance to adapt to individual students' goals and learning styles. I have a B.A with concentrations in history and political science and an MA in political science from Brandeis. I have also been a teaching assistant at Binghamton University in philosophy, where I gave one-on-one tips in both writing style and content area.My favorite subjects to tutor are history, English, literature, writing, philosophy, and SAT prep. I've always had a passion for narrative and communication, where these subjects in the humanities meet and form a core source of critical thinking skills that fuel inquiry and success in both higher education and life.In addition to teaching at Binghamton and taking on a number of private clients, I designed and taught college-level courses to high school students as part of MIT's Educational Studies Program. This program places undergraduate and post-college instructors with small classes of highly motivated students to tackle advanced subject matter. This gave me excellent experience in pedagogy and adaptive teaching.
I am a graduate of Simsbury High School and I am expected to graduate Brandeis University in 2024 with a double major in biology and HSSP (Health: Science, Society, and Policy). I have tutored a fourth grader in math; high school students in math, chemistry, and French; and college students in chemistry and genetics. I strive to make personal connections with my students so that they do not just feel like bullets on a list. In explaining the material, I try to break it down into smaller steps since humans are naturally more motivated to achieve goals that seem more manageable. I want every student to feel capable and to possess a growth mindset.
I am passionate about writing and have been telling stories of one kind or another most of my life. I really enjoy writing poetry, lyrics, short stories, and film and television scripts. You are able to go on a journey anywhere and take anyone along with you. I have an associate degree in paralegal studies, bachelor's degree in sociology, and law degree. Those studies and occupations require significant writing to persuade and relate to a variety of audiences. I am very passionate about helping others tell their stories in a meaningful, clear, and creative manner.
I have been passionate about helping students my entire life, as I grew up helping care for my disabled twin brother, I saw firsthand how important access to education is from a young age. Since then, I have devoted my time to my two passions, medicine, and education. I am currently in school obtaining a combination B.S. and Masters Degree in Biology, with a minor in Education. I love all the subjects that I tutor, and my favorite aspect of tutoring is watching a student's understanding of a challenging subject grow. My teaching philosophy is that each individual student will learn best with an individualized plan. Outside of academia, I work as a 911 EMT.
I'm passionate about getting students engaged and interested with chemistry. I have experience as a peer tutor and will soon be an official organic chemistry tutor at my university.
I am a recent graduate of Brandeis University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education Studies and History. While my Education Studies coursework focused on secondary education, I love working with children of all ages and have been lucky to have opportunities to work with students in age groups ranging from from preschool to high school and with a wide variety of needs. I first started tutoring in high school as part of my National Honor Society chapter, and I believe academic achievement is a matter of matching individual students with the learning approaches best suited to them and that with the right approach, learning can be enjoyable for anyone. It is my goal while tutoring to help students realize just how much they can do. When I'm free, I love biking ,reading any material I can find, and counting down the days to the newest Disney release.
I have been tutoring for seven years, and from my experience, I have learned that you can truly get students to love subjects if you can break them down and explain them simply. My favourite part of tutoring students is when they come to me after a few weeks of math lessons and tell me that, suddenly, math in school isn't so boring and difficult anymore, and that they are really starting to enjoy their classes in school. I love tutoring math, and have spent the most time there, but also enjoy teaching biology, chemistry, and environmental science, as I have taken all the AP versions of those classes and am currently pursuing a degree in Biochemistry and Mathematics.
I was a high school valedictorian and am an alumnus of Swarthmore College where I graduated with honors attaining a BA in Economics and a minor in Biology. I am also an alumnus of Brandeis University where I attained a Masters in Software Engineering. After graduation, I worked as a derivatives trader for over a decade. I was fortunate to teach over a dozen classes in statistics, probability and decision making.Given my rigorous training in the sciences, my teaching philosophy revolves around optimization and iteration. I am a firm believer that different students learn in different ways. As a tutor, I believe it is my responsibility to develop a process specific to a student's strengths and weaknesses.My academic successes stem from my work ethic and creativity. I bring the same work ethic and creativity when I tutor. My skill set allows me to develop computer programs optimized to a student's learning objectives. I possess excellent communication skills (high school national debater). Most importantly, I logged over a thousand hours teaching classes, tutoring students on all levels. As a bonus, my wife teaches writing at Harvard University and Princeton before that giving me an edge when reading essays and papers.In my spare time, I am avid tennis player and skier. I enjoy playing board games and card games.
A good teacher can make an enormous impact on the life of a student. I have seen this firsthand throughout my life. As a student, I learned how to read and write critically because I had teachers who cared, and who invested themselves in my education. Because of these teachers, I have dedicated myself to the education of others. As a tutor, there is nothing more gratifying than having a student report back that a paper got an A, or that a much-feared test was actually a breeze.My goal as your tutor is to remove the fear and anxiety that may surround a subject, and to place there instead something positive--the love of a book, an appreciation for a well-written paragraph, and the confidence to attack any test or assignment with assurance.I hold my Master's Degree in English Curriculum and Instruction for grades 5-12, and I am well-versed in different teaching methods to ensure that a student who works with me has every chance of success. I think that students learn best when they are interested in a topic; my job as a tutor is to stimulate that interest in any way possible. I will motivate and inspire you to be the best student you can be!
I am a sophomore at Brandeis University located in Waltham, MA. I am currently majoring in Chemistry with a minor in Statistics and am on a Pre-Med track. I grew up just outside of Boston in a Russian immigrant family. I grew up speaking Russian and learning math with family as a means of communication and bonding. I developed a passion for problem-solving and learning from a young age which followed me into my teen years.
I am a graduate of Emerson College and Brandies University's Heller School. I have a BS in International Politics, a BFA in Documentary Journalism and Literature, and a Master's Degree in Humanitarian Aid and Conflict Resolution. I served in Peace Corps Morocco from 2012 to 2015 as a Youth Development and Public Health volunteer, and beyond my studies, I have worked throughout the world in conflict zones and natural disasters for various humanitarian organizations, including Norwegian Refugee Council, Mercy Corps and the United Nations. My time in Morocco is where teaching and tutoring begin for me, and while I have taught a wide variety of subjects to a wide range of students, I've found that one of one teaching/tutoring is where I am most able to impart my experience in writing, editing, journalism and literature to students. Having worked with a diverse and international spectrum of colleagues, team mates and students, I've found my teaching style focused on connecting with the student in order to understand their areas of strength; identifying our strengths enables us to best target where we want to make improvements. I strongly believe that having the tools and confidence to be a strong writer results in confidence and heightened abilities in every other subject. In my free time, I love to run, climb mountains, cook, write and read.
Hello! I am a graduate student at Columbia University, working towards Masters degrees in Public Health and Social Work. I am a graduate of Brandeis University with Bachelor's degrees in Anthropology and Environmental Science. I have been teaching students ages 9 and up for approximately 8 years, and I would love to help you reach your academic potential! My favorite subjects to tutor are reading comprehension, environmental science, and essay-writing.
I love making information and knowledge accessible to learners of any age, and I believe students of every age can learn. I am passionate about teaching because there is so much wonderful and fascinating information available to us in any field a student might be interested in, be it math, science, English, American and European history, art, or another field.I received my Bachelor's degree in History from Brandeis University, and my Master's degree in Education from Boston University with a specialty in teaching English as a Second Language. As an ESL teacher, I met students from all over the world, including adult immigrants who were starting new lives in the United States. I also worked with students in every grade level of public school, from kindergarten to 12th grade. It was deeply rewarding to help immigrants to the U.S. learn the English language and adapt to life in their new country. I found that my ongoing curiosity about different fields of study and my knowledge of history made me a better ESL teacher. For example, if I couldn't think of a synonym for a word or concept, I could offer an example from history or art. My ongoing interest in history also helped me establish rapport with my students, as they were pleased that I knew something about their native countries.Many of my students of English as a Second Language had to take the SAT exam, so I branched out into tutoring for that test as well as other standardized tests. I know those tests are challenging, but I have helped quite a number of students improve their scores.Outside of teaching, my interests include classical and world music and dance, including classical forms of dance from India. I also love to cook, and am always trying new recipes. I look forward to meeting more wonderful students as I work for Varsity Tutors.
I graduated from Brandeis University with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and a minor in Psychology. While at Brandeis, I enjoyed working as a biology lab TA and a CPR instructor. While I can tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring math and science, specifically MCAT prep. I have a true passion for teaching and I hope to help make my student's academic dreams a reality. In my free time, I enjoy ballroom dancing, baking, and spending time with my dog, Gigi.
I am a physician and medical educator with extensive experience helping students prepare for exams, including certification exams, and completing course work in the health professions. I received my undergraduate degree in neuroscience and biology from Brandeis University in 2009 and my MD from Boston University in 2014. I matched into a competitive general surgery residency, but left to pursue teaching full time. Most of my time has been with paramedic students, but I've worked with students from all areas of medicine and outside medicine. What draws me to teaching is the opportunity to work closely with a student to build both their understanding of a subject and confidence in their abilities; nothing is as rewarding as that moment when a difficult subject "clicks" for a student! I primarily tutor in the life and biomedical sciences, and physiology is probably my favorite subject to teach (it's so complex and fascinating!), though I do love pharmacology and basic biology, as well. My philosophy as a teacher and tutor is that I'm a coach and facilitator: I help you build foundations and use the tools you already possess to deepen your understanding of a subject. We're very much a team, working together to reach your academic goals. Outside of academia, I enjoy running, going to the gym, baking, and reading/watching science fiction ("2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Contact" are tied for my favorite movie!).
I've been fortunate to have spent half of my life living in South America and am therefore native bilingual in English and Spanish. I came to the United States to obtain my undergraduate degree from Brandeis University in Waltham, Ma. Six years later, I moved to Dallas, TX to work as an elementary school teacher in an urban school district. I've been here for ten years and have spent the entire decade working in education. I have taught all subjects and almost all grades in elementary school. In 2011 I graduated from Southern Methodist University with a Master's in Bilingual Education. In recent years, I have worked as an instructional coach and academic specialist, which has allowed me to look at education from a different lens and therefore given me a comprehensive look at curriculum and instruction.I am currently completing my principal certification and hope to pursue this goal in the near future. The rest of my time is spent with my wife and two children of 1 and 4 years. I played varsity tennis in college and continue to play locally.
I am a graduate of Brandeis University, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in History and Psychology. I am also a recent graduate of University College London, where I received my Master of Science in Child Development. I have been tutoring for several years, beginning in high school when I tutored as part of the community service component of the International Baccalaureate Program. I have since then continued tutoring in various subjects and at a range of levels. Some of my favorite subjects include English, Math (up through the Algebra II level), Social Sciences, and SAT/ACT preparation. I enjoy contributing to the success of my students and seeing them improve in their skills, scores, and attitude towards learning. I make a point of getting to know each student so I can meet his or her specific needs and teach in a compatible style. Most of all, I make my lessons engaging and interactive and focus on genuine learning rather than rote memorization. In my spare time I enjoy travel, cooking, reading, running, and writing.
I am a professional life science researcher and graduate of Brandeis University, where I earned both my masters and bachelors in biochemistry. I'm passionate about science, discovery, and teaching, which is why I am pursuing both research and tutoring. I am also an avid reader, writer, and learner.I have over 5 years of experience working with students from the junior high to collegiate level and would love to use my experience and expertise to help students master new concepts and skills. I would characterize my tutoring style as positive and persistent, but above all, I like to tailor my approach to best suit the needs and learning style of each individual student.My specialties are test prep (AP/SAT/ACT/SSAT) and science subjects, including biology, chemistry, and physics. I am also experienced with tutoring US and world history, literature and composition, and general essay writing.Looking forward to meeting new students!
As a dedicated tutor with over a decade of experience, my passion for education and research has led me to pursue a Master's degree in Bioinformatics. My academic journey began with a Bachelor of Science in biology where I cultivated a deep understanding of biological systems and concepts, laying the groundwork for my current studies. My experiences have taught me the importance of patience, adaptability, and personalized instruction in fostering student success. These principles have guided my tutoring approach, allowing me to support students effectively across diverse learning styles and needs. My goal is to empower students by simplifying complex concepts and encouraging a lifelong passion for science, mathematics, and language arts.
Graduated from ASU 10yrs ago. Currently a full time science teacher. Love to see students love to learn science, and become more confident in applying what they've learned.
I am a graduate of both Trinity University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Latin, and Brandeis University, where I received my Master of Arts in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies. Between schools and since, I have tried to find personal time to continuing my studies and keeping my skills fresh by translating new works. I have worked with Shelby County Schools as a classroom teacher of Etymology but have found that I thrive much better when working one-on-one with students. I tutor Latin at all levels, with the hope that my students, regardless of their starting skill level, can learn to see the beauty and nuance of the language they are studying. I believe in education as a tool for personal enrichment, and especially the study of foreign languages as a way to understand different ways on thinking and talking about a subject as a means of deeper understanding of that subject. In my spare time, I enjoying reading, learning more about languages (even those I will likely never learn to speak), and cooking.
I am a tutor specializing in philosophy with competence in other basic logic-related subjects, like algebra and computer science. I am a graduate of Brandeis University, where I received both my Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in philosophy. During my time at Brandeis, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to tutor my peers as a Brandeis Undergraduate Group Study tutor. As a peer tutor, I guided fellow students through prepositional and predicate logic problem sets, worked through their arguments for ethics class, and helped edit their philosophy papers. Logic is my favorite to tutor due to its closeness to my personal interest in computer programming. In both cases there are answers to problems that are very much the only correct answer, but there may be many different ways of approaching said answer. This is something I particularly like to show my students: that even in the most stringent of cases, there is room for creativity and self-expression in the process of problem-solving.In my spare time, I enjoy toying around with programming languages like Ruby and Java, playing sports (ultimate frisbee, football, rowing, skiing, weightlifting), playing video games, and reading (mostly nonfiction).
I am a senior at Brandeis University. I am on the pre-health track majoring in Health: Science, Society, and Policy and Biology and minoring in Hispanic Studies. I am also President of a Brandeis Volunteers Around the World, which aims to bring volunteering opportunities to students at Brandeis, as well as providing services to underserved countries internationally. In addition, I am also a part of General Tutoring in which I voluntarily tutor a high school sophomore every week in mathematics. Although I am comfortable in tutoring a variety of subjects, I am most interested in Mathematics and Science. From my experience in teaching, I have found that the most successful method for a student's success is additional practice. I believe that every student has the opportunity for success given the appropriate resources. My future plans include attending medical school and my hobbies include biking and reading.
I graduated from Brandeis University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology on the pre-optometry track. During my undergraduate studies, I had the opportunity to engage in diverse research projects, including the effects of a sunscreen chemical on breast cancer progression and the relationship between diet and teen depression. Additionally, I frequently traveled to my home country of Sudan, where I volunteered in local hospitals and clinics, shadowing optometrists and other medical professionals. This experience ignited my passion for optometry, leading me to pursue a career as an eye doctor.Alongside my commitment to optometry, I have a strong passion for teaching. I teach a variety of subjects, including biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and the OAT/DAT admissions test. As an organic chemistry teaching assistant, I emphasized pattern recognition and effective study techniques, earning awards and recognition for my teaching methods. I believe that failure only occurs when one stops trying, so I strive to create an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and thinking creatively.I am excited to continue tutoring as I continue my journey to Optometry School at New England College of Optometry.

I also really like sleeping and going on the internet.I'm excited to tutor anybody and everybody who wants some extra help!
I am a graduate of Brandeis University with a BA in Computer Science and a Security+ certification from CompTIA. I offer tutoring in high school math, including but not limited to algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. My goal is to become a high school math teacher.While math can be a challenging subject, it can also be deeply rewarding. Math has countless applications in fields ranging from finance, engineering, science, health, technology/computation, data analysis, AI, economics, and many more areas. I firmly believe that with enough practice students can improve their grades and understanding of math.Math is best understood by doing. Once a concept is explained and demonstrated, students should then try to solve problems to see if they understand the ideas involved or if they need to spend some more time on the material before advancing to the next concept.
