My name is Paul, and I am currently pursuing my secondary education teaching license. My academic background is in history. I received my Bachelor's at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, and my Master's at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. Since graduation, I have worked for Cengage Learning and have substituted at both private and public schools in the Chicago area.I believe strongly in independent learning and in fostering a student's passion for knowledge. Together, we will formulate a plan that best fits the student's needs and interests. I use guided questioning to find the strategies that best suit the student's abilities. My ultimate goal, aside from helping the student get a good grade or test score, is to help them become an independent learner, with a number of tools and strategies at their disposal.In addition to tutoring, I enjoy cooking and traveling. I am also a part-time comic book writer, with an ever-increasing number of titles available.

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.

I work in human resources/recruiting, but I also love working with students. I completed an elementary education certification program in college, and I love helping children understand math and increase their literacy skills.I am comfortable tutoring a variety of subjects.In my spare time, I like going for runs, doing (and teaching) Zumba dance fitness, and doing crafty projects.

Hello! My name is Emily and I taught middle school English for three years. I have ample experience tutoring students in elementary and middle school reading and writing. I recently finished a Master's program at Columbia University in Education Policy. I am passionate about helping students meet their goals through engaging and rigorous lessons. I can't wait to meet you!

Becoming a physician was no easy feat, and neither were all those years of school and standardized tests along the way! But I didn't do it alone. I had tutors help me every step of the way. Not only did they help me to boost my grades, but they provided me with academic confidence and mentoring, all of which made me realize that my greatest goals could be a tangible reality. Now I couldn't be happier in my career as a surgeon in training.I have ever since been "paying it forward," educating high school and college level students, and now medical students. The greatest satisfaction is seeing my students get that "ah ha!" moment when everything comes together, and then seeing them go on to accomplish what they always thought was impossible.Now that I have some free time while doing research, I'm excited to give students that same confidence and mentorship that my tutors gave me.

I believe every student deserves the opportunity to have the best education they can. I am hoping that as a tutor I am able to help students that are struggling succeed and feel confident in their future. I am currently a sophomore completing a BA in biochemistry with a minor in psychology. Over the years I have taken a variety of classes and have been able to excel in them. Being able to share my understanding and help others will be an incredible opportunity. I have always enjoyed learning and teaching math, but I can also teach chemistry and biology. I believe that being a current student allows me to have a unique perspective in the tutoring sessions. Based on the students learning style I am always willing to adapt and change the session. I am very passionate about helping every student reach their potential allowing them to be more confident in achieving their future dreams. I am certain that with my skills and experience I will be able to make a positive impact on many others' lives.

I have a B.A. in Math from Brandeis University. I minored in French & Francophone Studies. I was in a French Immersion program, so I've been learning French since elementary school. I continued learning French, and in college I wrote several essays on popular French literature. My favorite subject to tutor is French because I love speaking the language. It gives me a chance to speak French more and to use the skills I've learned. I enjoy speaking French and hope to help others learn it too. I want to help students learn in the way they learn best; in the way that's easiest for them. I want to create an environment where students are free to ask whatever questions they have.** I'll be available until January 1st, 2023, but I'm not sure of my availability after that date. **

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!

I am a senior at Brandeis doing a triple major in Business, Anthropology, and Design. This background has given me a strong love for learning and more importantly, helping others. I have experience tutoring elementary, middle, and high schoolers and am currently a Teacher's Assistant at the college level. My favorite subject to tutor is middle school reading because it's fun to discover breakthroughs in understanding. I also love tutoring music which is a deep passion of mine and something I have studied and pursued independently for 15+ years. Outside of academics, I love playing tennis, creating music, and cooking with friends and family. I am patient, encouraging, and many have shared easy to learn with so I really look forward to working with you!

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 a passionate, practiced teacher who wishes to help students reach their full potential. Using empathy and listening, I assess student needs and create a custom learning plan for each client. I hold a doctorate from Brandeis University and have taught in both high school and collegiate settings.

I am Peter Agaba a recent masters graduate in Finance and Economics from Brandeis University Waltham. I also have bachelors and masters degrees in Mathematics. I love teaching especially Mathematics classes. In the past, I taught college Algebra and trigonometry at Western Kentucky University. I love meeting new people and learning from them. I am as well passionate about teaching. The fun fact about me is that I ran track and cross country for D1 college. In my free time, I like reading finance news or sometimes I do spend time coding and analyzing data.

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 total physics and math nerd. My passion is to show students they can understand any subject, no matter how complex or daunting, and get them nerding out just like me!

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've been helping students and friends to edit and revise their writing across multiple styles for seven years. Throughout high school, I was part of an exclusive magnet school for creative writing called the Educational Center for the Arts: in the mornings I took core classes (math, science, history, etc) at a public high school, and in the afternoons I attended college-level workshops in fiction, screenplay, memoir, humor, and poetry. There, I learned from published writers and edited fellow students' pieces, including college essays, for four years while developing my own work.In college, I became the opinion section editor of my student newspaper. Last year, I served as its editor in chief. At The Justice, I've applied the skills I learned from creative writing to journalism and op-ed content. I already had experience clarifying sentences, helping writers develop a unique written voice, and keeping writing concise and precise, but through The Justice I learned how to find and support a strong argument, recognize logical fallacies in one's own thinking as well as in others, and conduct thorough, accurate and credible research. I also learned the AP's grammatical style guides inside and out, though remain a devotee of the Oxford comma.While most of my work in tutoring specifically has been with middle and high school-age students, I've also worked with younger students as a summer camp counselor and a teaching assistant. I've also got a strong theater background, both as a performer and a viewer.

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 am a graduate of Brandeis University, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology and Psychology. I am now a first-year pharmacy student at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS) University, and I am currently working toward my Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree. During college, I was a teaching assistant for the introductory psychology course, and I have tutored English to students of all ages, mostly high school students. I tutor English, Biology, and Psychology (with a possibility of tutoring SAT Critical Reading and Writing). I am very passionate about biology, and for me, biology is the most fun to tutor. However, because I take many science courses at school, it is especially nice to tutor non-science courses such as English and psychology, subjects that I also really enjoyed throughout high school and college.As a current student, I understand how some subjects can be extremely overwhelming. I believe that one way to strengthen one's understanding of a topic is to take a step backward and reinforce the knowledge of prior topics. My goal is to help students understand the basics before moving onto more complicated topics. In addition, I would like to help students foster an appreciation for education and to understand why they are learning these subjects.In my spare time, I enjoy watching and playing basketball, seeing Broadway musicals, going to concerts, and watching movies (particularly Pixar/Disney and Marvel/DC movies!)

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.

Hi! I am a recent graduate of Brandeis University, earning two degrees in Media, Culture & Communications, and Business Administration & Management with minors in Legal Studies and Creative Writing. I have a passion for helping students understand material and maximize their full potential.

Do you struggle with finding the right match for your tutoring needs? Well, you've come to the right place. I use my background in psychology to ensure the best tutoring experience for you through personalized sessions based on your learning style.As an undergraduate student at a Private R1 Research University with a vigorous liberal arts core, I am well-rounded in the social sciences. I am majoring in Sociology and Creative Writing with minors in Psychology and Social Justice, aiming at a PhD in Education Policy. In high school, I attended a college preparatory school where I took all AP and Honors curriculum, so I have experience in most AP and Honors coursework in the social sciences.My experience is primarily one-on-one with middle and high school students, but I can also work with younger individuals in a wider range of subjects and college students in writing courses.I have grown up speaking French with my family along with taking it for five years, four in high school graduating with AP French and one year placed in one of the highest undergraduate courses of French on campus. I have tutoring experience for 1.5 years in French with intermediate level French, along with informal teaching to my college friends.Growing up, I was placed into an advanced reading and writing track. In high school, I took exclusively Honors and AP classes in English and literature, earning nothing less than an A- in any of my classes. I received all fives on my AP courses in English curriculum. On my standardized testing, I earned a 35 and 34 on reading and writing respectively and the highest mark possible on the essay section.I love tutoring because I love to see individuals understanding concepts to a point where I am not needed anymore. Seeing any student's eyes light up is the reason I tutor. I am patient, caring, and look forward to hearing from you!

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.

After three years of tutoring students from kindergarten through high school and an adult in math, I have used and developed a teaching approach that values the student as a whole person, not just their test scores.I am patient, methodical, and understanding, and I work well with students who are willing to make an effort toward improving.I can tutor in the following subjects:- Math (elementary, middle-school, pre-algebra, algebra 1, algebra 2, geometry, and introductory trigonometry and precalculus)- German (introductory and intermediate)- Test prep (including SAT, ACT, and GRE)- Biology (high-school and introductory, college-level)- Chemistry (high-school and introductory, college-level inorganic)I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, along with minors in Chemistry, German Language and Literature, and Environmental Studies. Currently, I am studying toward a Master of Information degree with specialization in Library and Information Science.Professionally, I have worked for six years in biology labs (include five in genetics research), in addition to math tutoring for about three years.In my free time, I enjoy playing chess, doing crossword puzzles, bird-watching, and experiencing nature (leisurely hiking, sight-seeing, etc.).Please contact me with any questions, and I look forward to working with you!

I am deeply passionate about tutoring students in Biology, leveraging my Master's degree in Nutrition Education from Columbia University and my experience teaching a wide range of subjects, including AP Biology, Cell Biology, and MCAT preparation. With over 2 years of classroom experience, I focus on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where complex biological concepts become accessible and enjoyable. My teaching philosophy emphasizes fostering curiosity and critical thinking, which I believe are vital for academic success. I find immense joy in making biology relatable and interesting, and my dedication to helping each student reach their potential drives my approach. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring the natural world, which continually enriches my enthusiasm for the subject.

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 graduated from Brandeis University with degrees in Classical Studies and Anthropology in 2012, and just received a master's degree in Archaeology from Bryn Mawr College. While in school, I have worked on numerous team projects as well as with younger students just beginning their studies. I spent this past summer working with high school students as a resident counselor at Johns Hopkins University. In the fall, I plan on working in classrooms in the Philadelphia area. I have experience across the humanities, and have a particular love for history. I also understand the importance of preparing for standardized tests, and have found the same critical reading and writing skills needed to score well on them to be invaluable as my education has progressed.I look forward to working with and helping you in any way that I can.

I am passionate about helping chemistry students because I want to help students discover that chemistry is an accessible and fascinating topic. In addition to tutoring on this platform, I also tutor General Chemistry at Brandeis University, where I am a full time undergraduate working towards a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. My teaching philosophy is that if a student is having trouble grasping a concept, they just have not had it explained in the right way to them yet. My tutoring style is very interactive, and I like students to explain their thought process to me as they work on problems.

Hi, my name is Naomi, and I am happy to tutor for Varsity Tutors. I study English literature and philosophy, so reading and writing are my strongest suits, but I am glad to help in any of my listed subjects. Please send me a message to let me know how I can be of assistance!

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.

My name is Valcourt and I am currently doing my masters in International Economics and Finance at Brandeis University. I have been tutoring for the past 5 years and always enjoyed it. When I am not at school, I enjoy to play chess and watch sports and play basketball.

I am a medical graduate and a holder of an MS in Global Health Policy & Management. I have worked extensively in infectious disease epidemiology and biostatistical research including wastewater-based surveillance with the CDC Foundation and large EHR-based research projects. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge in Epidemiology, Biostatistics, physiology, Anatomy, Pathology, Pathophysiology, and Pharmacology. I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring complex concepts. My approach is centered on fostering curiosity and critical thinking, helping students connect theoretical knowledge to real-world applications. I am motivated by the opportunity to empower others in their academic journeys, and I look forward to guiding students as they achieve their goals in the health sciences.

I am a Masters in Teaching student at Brandeis University with a Bachelor's degree in English Literature and Business from Brandeis University. I prioritize access to a quality education. I work to provide personalized and differentiated instruction for every student in my tutelage. I work with parents and other caregivers to create the most well-rounded, successful learning plan for students, and work as a team with students and parents to develop learning goals. I help students to develop ownership over their own learning, and to feel successful about the skills they are developing as they continue to progress. I have worked with students as an SAT preparatory tutor, as an ESL tutor, and in an elementary school classroom as a student teacher. I am passionate about every subject I tutor, but my personal strengths are in developing literacy skills (reading and writing) in students K-12. I care about my students, and work to incorporate my students' interests and strengths into each tutoring session. When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy exploring the Mass Audubon Reservations, hiking, reading, and skiing in the winter months.

I am a junior at Brandeis University, majoring in Neuroscience and Biology. I also work for two EMS agencies: Cataldo Ambulance Company and BEMCo, Brandeis' collegiate EMS agency. At BEMCo I am a crew chief and the Director of Operations. I am most passionate about teaching future EMTs studying for the NREMT, and have found that having experience as an EMT allows students to have a more accurate understanding of how to apply what they've learned to real-life scenarios. I believe that as a tutor, it's important to implement and studying strategies that the student enjoys and take into consideration what the student is struggling with, to allow them to fully grasp the material the best that they can.

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 am currently a fourth year medical student at Thomas Jefferson medical school. I graduated from Brandeis University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Studio Art.

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.

I recently obtained my master's degree in American Studies and Education. These degrees have helped me to think critically about history and current events. I am excited to help students connect their classroom information with the world that they live in now. I love helping students learn how to express themselves through writing and speech, and I am most passionate about guiding students to engage with their classes in ways that make them successful.

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.
