Award-Winning Tutors from Carnegie Mellon University

I am currently a student at Carnegie Mellon University studying Physics and Engineering. I have a strong interest in aerospace engineering and fluid dynamics.I am very good at any math or science field, as they were always my favorite in high school. I am very knowledgeable on the subjects since I am taking rigorous technical courses at CMU.I was the Valedictorian at my high school and know how to help you succeed in school as well. I am a hands-on type of learner, meaning that I learn by actually doing examples and understanding physically how the theory works.

My belief is that all students of all levels and types are capable of learning. It is just a matter of putting in the effort and taking the correct approach. In some cases it is a matter of putting together a series of small victories and gains before reaching the ultimate goal, but all students can get there!

I'm currently a sophomore at Carnegie Mellon University.I enjoy working with kids and helping them work through problems they struggle with on their own, teaching them to solve problems by concept, not on an individual basis. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and playing video games.

I am currently an undergraduate studying Statistics and Machine Learning + Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. At CMU, I am an undergraduate research assistant for the AI for Intelligent Tutoring Systems Team, and I am a teaching assistant for Fundamentals of Programming. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to tackle challenging concepts. I believe in using real-world applications to make math relatable and engaging, which helps my students build confidence and achieve academic success. I am passionate about tutoring because I enjoy seeing students overcome obstacles and progress over time, while developing a love for the subject. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy tennis, playing violin in an orchestra, and delving into literary classics.

Hi,I am a rising Sophomore studying Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. I graduated at James E. Taylor High School as rank 7 out of over 600 students and swam for my high school swim team for 4 years. Currently, I'd say I'm most experienced in math and science and above average in English and would feel most comfortable teaching any of these subjects. I'm welcome to any other subjects and will try to provide the best tutoring services for you.Thank you

I am passionate about helping students gain confidence in reading comprehension, writing, history, elementary/middle school math and governance subjects. I believe in a patient approach to learning where student needs are the priority, and working on advance step by step through their educational goals is important for long term growth.

You wouldn't know by looking at my transcripts but I know what it's like to struggle with math. Even though I was a straight-A student, school never came easy to me. Lectures always seemed to move too quickly and were hard to understand. I asked multiple questions during class that seemed silly or easy to other students. I went to nearly every office hours available and wondered if some professors may have moved them to avoid me! With time, effort, and the help of many people, I succeeded. This experience taught me two things. One was what made math hard and how to learn effectively. The other was that everyone has the potential to learn and feel comfortable with math.I was able to put these lessons into practice as a math tutor and grader at Carnegie Mellon University, where I attained my bachelor's in mathematical science. Although some students were future engineers and scientists already quite proficient at math, others were studying the humanities or fine arts. Not all students had the same background through their prior coursework or in high school. I quickly recognized that students struggle with topics in different ways and learned to identify where they needed help most.Finally, after college I further developed my ability to explain difficult concepts as a corporate actuary. I was often required to communicate complex concepts to all types of professionals, from sales and marketing to operations and legal. I supervised and trained new employees, many of whom were new to our processes. All these experiences often required a lot of patience and good listening. However, seeing people get to the "light bulb moment" was very gratifying. It made me realize how much I enjoy helping others gain the same understanding of something as me. I hope to gain more of this rewarding experience with you!

Hello!I studied Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, and Arts with full of joy during college years.After years working as a fulltime software engineer and part-time tutor, now I am finishing my Master of Science in Analytics from Carnegie Mellon University.I am here to see nice people and inspire everyone to love what they study.Let's go!!!

I did my undergraduate degree in Aerospace Engineering at MIT and also completed a Masters in Robotics from CMU. I work as a robotics engineer in Boston and also run an edtech startup on the side. To me, the key to education is inspiration, and so its not just about teaching material but also mentoring. Though I program robots, I'm definitely a people person, patient, and interested in helping others to succeed!

I am currently studying at Carnegie Mellon University and I am pursuing a Bachelor's degree in economics.In the past, I have had experience tutoring my classmates in a variety of subjects, ranging from algebra to government and physics. I also work well with test prep, and I am well-equipped to help students ace their standardized assessments.I understand how frustrating it can be to be stuck on a problem or method and not know where to go. It can be easy to lose interest and give up when you hit a wall, but I believe that making a subject interesting and relevant to your own personal hobbies can motivate you to succeed. I will tailor your tutoring experience to your personal needs, whether you need engagement or clarity. I will be sure to assist and focus on areas of improvement instead of just giving answers so that you will learn to learn.

I am a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University with a Master's of Entertainment Technology. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but my focus areas are Computer Science, Game Development, creative writing, and both SAT and ACT test prep. I think students are at their best when they embrace both their technical and creative sides, and I want to guide students in how to achieve that for themselves. Outside of tutoring, I create games in my free time, as well as write.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2016. Since then, I have been a process engineer at a major oil and gas company in the Houston, TX area. As a chemical engineer, I have extensive experience with developing heat/material balances, troubleshooting and optimizing heat and mass transfer equipment, and using process simulation software.Outside of chemical engineering-specific areas, I am able to tutor in most math, chemistry, and physics subjects at levels from middle school through college. I can also provide tutoring in some SAT and SAT 2 subject tests. My favorite subject to tutor is math. I have loved math for as long as I can remember. To me, solving a math problem is like solving any other problem in life - you combine the information you are given, assumptions you can make, and your expertise and prior knowledge to derive a conclusion. I appreciate being able to help students develop these types problem solving skills through math because of how applicable they are to non-math scenarios.

I graduated in May 2012 from Carnegie Mellon University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and International Relations. After graduation I joined Teach For America and am currently a high school math teacher, teaching Algebra and Geometry to freshmen and sophomores. Math is definitely my favorite subject and I love helping my students understand, appreciate, and love math. I began tutoring during college, where I helped students with everything from Calculus to Statistics to Engineering. In my free time, I love to bake and enjoy a good book.

I'm a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University. I received my B.S. in Biological Sciences with a minor in Biomedical Engineering. Personally, I like tutoring STEM subjects such as math, biology, and chemistry the most. I love seeing my students gain confidence in their subject areas and grow over time. Outside of academia, I enjoy cooking, exercising, reading, and spending time with my dog.

I am a recently retired civil engineer. For 34 -1/2 years, I worked as a civilian for the Department of the Air Force. My last position was as the Deputy Base Civil Engineer at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, AZ. I am 57 years-old and originally from the Pittsburgh, PA area. I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 1987 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Civil Engineering and Engineering and Public Policy. Upon graduation, I began working for the AF at Langley AFB in southeastern Virgina, staying there for nearly 28 years before recently finishing my career in Tucson, AZ. Tutoring in math and science has always been a passion of mine. I am a good communicator and have a knack for knowing how to explain a concept based on the student's understanding and preferred style of learning. I believe strongly that problem solving builds knowledge. In my tutoring, I will patiently work through a type of problem with the student's input, and then strive for the student to be able to independently solve that type of problem. I believe strongly in education and want to "give back" to students, as I learned so much from teachers when I was younger. I am happily married with three daughters, ages 30, 26, and soon to be 16.

I am a student at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). I have spent a large portion of my life outside of the United States and am fluent in Spanish and currently studying Arabic as well. I was homeschooled for much of my life and loved it, but completed my last three years of high school in a public school and am thus well acquainted with the various forms of standardized testing. When I'm not studying I like singing and theatre, reading, playing the piano, climbing trees and doing anything outdoors. I have been tutoring Spanish at CMU for a year now, and am also well versed in History, Geography, and Math. I look forward to working with.

I attended Carnegie Mellon University with a focus on Acting and Medieval Literature. I grew up in a family of teachers, and I spent my years in high school and in college working as a peer tutor. While at university, I also served as a part-time English teacher at two elementary schools in inner city Pittsburgh. Since college, I have lived and worked as a tutor in New York, Los Angeles, and Barcelona. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, History, Math, and the SAT. I am fascinated by the SAT. I love teaching struggling test takers how to view the SAT as an approachable, accessible set of riddles and games instead of as an intellectual brick wall. I firmly believe that the majority of people can find great joy in academics once they discover the individual approach that works for them. I see it as my job to help them find that path. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, running, travel, and reading. I am also a section editor for the Los Angeles Review of Books and the literary manager for two theater companies based in New York and Los Angeles.

I'm committed to helping students build confidence in stem concepts! With a strong background in engineering and a minor in educational psychology, I aim to meet every student where they are at. I try to fill in any gaps in their background knowledge and help them build confidence in their subjects. I hope that the students not only understand the concepts but know how to meaningfully apply them for lifelong success in stem. I hope to learn how the student thinks to co-create learning goals.

I am a sophomore at Carnegie Mellon University, majoring in Business Administration with twin concentrations in Finance and Business Analytics. I am also pursuing an additional major in Statistics and Economics. I really enjoy meeting new people and working with others, which is why I am drawn to the field of tutoring. A lot of my tutoring experience comes from the Spanish, Math, and Science Honor Societies, where I worked with students in subjects ranging from Calculus and Statistics to Biology and English. Several students I have worked with have told me that they hate a certain class or subject, but I firmly believe that a passionate instructor can make all the difference. My favorite subjects to tutor are math, science, and history, and when I am not tutoring I love to dance, trade stocks, and cook.

Hi, I am Cassie Bishop, and for seven years, I have been dedicated to helping students of different age groups (from middle school to college) in mostly math and science. As someone driven to become a professor, I love to teach and have a great passion for sharing my knowledge with others! I am most passionate about math and hard sciences, such as biology, chemistry, and physics and have most experience tutoring middle school, high school, and college students. My mission is to develop students' problem-solving skills so that they can get to the answers on their own to not only improve their homework scores but also help on quizzes and tests through better knowledge of the material. I hope to be able to help you with all of your tutoring needs and to promote student success!

I gained the majority of my tutoring experience from working as a high school science teacher for a prestigious independent school in Chicago. With our small class sizes, I gave lots of one-on-one attention to students both during and after class. Though I decided a teaching career is not for me, I miss the one-on-one interactions I had with students and helping them with their individual needs. I learned that patience, attention, and time will get almost any student anywhere they may want to go academically. While some students may not receive the accolades they desire to obtain, if a student begins to appreciate the path and process of learning by itself, they will find they are rarely disappointed with their academic results.Although my degrees are in Chemistry, I really enjoy tutoring physics and statistics. Those two subjects are notorious for producing a fair amount of anxiety in students, so I relish in showing how manageable physics and statistics can be for anyone. I help students learn how to overcome their anxieties by guiding them to become better problem solvers. The problem solving skills they will develop under my tutelage will be useful not only in those subjects but carry over to other academic subjects and life in general.My academic background includes graduating from Loyola University Chicago with a BA in Chemistry and Physics minor. I received a MS in Chemistry from Carnegie Mellon University specializing in Theoretical/Physical Chemistry. I will be starting a Master’s program in the fall for Data Science at IIT. During that time, I will continue to tutor. When I am not "nerding" out on programming and science, I relax over video games, board games with friends, and playing the piano.

I am a graduate from Carnegie Mellon University, where I obtained a Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Civil Engineering. I have two years of experience tutoring minority middle and high school students in several subjects including Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Physics, Spanish and other subjects. During my college years I also worked as a teaching assistant for several engineering courses. Throughout my experience as a tutor, I developed a strong passion for helping students achieve their academic goals. I strive to quickly identify the teaching strategies that work best with each student, and focus on using these strategies to explain the underlying concepts that have led to their current difficulties in a given subject. My teaching style is based on a firm belief that the best way to learn is by teaching: I usually have students explain to me what they DO understand, so that I have a better understanding of what they DO NOT fully grasp. Most importantly, I believe in creating a friendly environment, where students can let go of any insecurities and feel comfortable to share and work together with me to achieve their academic goals

My goal is to try to help others that need help so that they do not have to do everything by themselves.

I am a PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering. I recently completed my bachelors also at Carnegie Mellon University in Electrical and Computer Engineering as well as Human Computer Interaction. Over the last several years, I have experience teaching a wide variety of students ranging from elementary school math, introduction to programming for children, as well as college level classes. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math, Physics, and Computer Science. I really enjoy teaching programming, especially in fun and engaging ways. I like to relate what I teach to things my students are passionate about, or teach them through fun activities and games, so that they are easier to understand. I also help students prepare for standardized tests and have several strategies that I can share, especially for the math section of the tests. In my spare time, I enjoy dancing, music, hiking and anything outdoors!

Hello! My name is Eshan, and I'm a college freshman interested in Artificial Intelligence. When I started high school, I thought I was perpetually stuck at being a mediocre mathematician. I struggled a lot in my Algebra 2 class, teaching me that math is a subject which constantly tests your resilience and determination. My mission is to help other students tackle new and intimidating concepts. After 300+ hours of Mathnasium tutoring, I'm ready to help my students discover their latent strengths!

I have always enjoyed helping and teaching. I love connecting with students and watching them learn. My main schooling background is in music performance and as a part of that I have taken a pedagogy class on effective one on one teaching methods, After graduating college, I felt called to help people rather than continue in music performance and have been working at a ministry in the Naperville area along with tutoring.

I believe fully in the philosophy of lifelong learning, and I plan to be a lifelong learner. For ten years, I have enjoyed tutoring others in my areas of strength, not only to help with content mastery, but also to help others enjoy becoming lifelong learners themselves. I have just graduated with my Master's degree in viola performance from Carnegie Mellon University, having earned a Bachelor's degree from Western Michigan University.I am a musician by training, but I enjoy seeking knowledge in all subjects, and sharing that knowledge with anybody who will listen. In particular, I love to tutor writing, because the tutoring process encompasses both the "strict" rules of written grammar and the "open-ended" rules of content organization. To learn to write, a student must learn to express ideas, and in this setting, tutors and students can truly get to know each other.The most effective learning comes after we make learning enjoyable. That takes effort from both the teacher and the student. The teacher should come to the table with a good method and the creativity to break from the method from time to time. The student should come with an open mind, a little bit of patience, and curiosity about at least one thing - even if it is not directly related to the lesson. Some of the best learning moments can start out as light conversations!

With over 20 years of experience as a professional software engineer, I specialize in making challenging programming concepts accessible and intuitive. What sets me apart is my ability to break down complex problems into manageable pieces while tailoring my teaching approach to match your individual learning style. I don't just help you complete assignments - I guide you through the problem-solving process so you develop the critical thinking skills that make great programmers. Using real-world examples from my industry experience, I show how abstract programming principles apply to actual software development, helping you see the bigger picture behind every concept. Currently employed as Lead Software Engineer, I bring cutting-edge industry knowledge to every session.

I am passionate about lifting up the next generation of business leaders. I had amazing tutors when I was in college and business school and I am ready to pay it forward.

I am an experienced teacher with two Bachelor's degrees, a Master's degree, and completed Ph.D coursework. I have approximately seven years of teaching experience, and I hold an English certification. I have a passion for all the material I teach, and that allows me to meet my students' learning needs. Even more importantly, I am creative. Sometimes teaching is all about packaging the ideas differently.What I value most in the learning experience is when students become confident and independent in their own learning. My job as a teacher is to give them those tools. I am a lifelong learner myself, and I greatly value what my students teach me. Their insights and the ways they learn help me to grow as an instructor.I have experience teaching the following subjects: American Literature, British Literature, Compositionand Rhetoric, proofreading, and editing.Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have. Have a wonderful week!

I received an undergraduate degree (AB) in Economics from Princeton University in 1978 and a graduate degree (MS) in Industrial Administration from Carnegie Mellon University in 1981. I was a certified substitute teacher in Arizona and I have substituted at the high school level at the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. I have also substituted at various vocational and traditional high schools. I have taught a variety of undergraduate business courses as an adjunct professor at several universities, including Memphis State University, Western Connecticut State University, Quinnipiac College, University of Bridgeport, Sacred Heart University, Albertus Magnus College, Southern Connecticut State University, Central Connecticut State University and New York Institute of Technology. The courses were in the fields of finance, statistics, management, computer science and mathematics. I was also the Math Specialist at Albertus Magnus College within the Academic Development Center. In this capacity, I provided one-on-one help to students and administered mathematics competency examinations to incoming freshmen. I have also taught spreadsheet, word processing and database fundamentals at non-degree technical schools such as Connecticut Business Institute and Branford Hall. I have always enjoyed helping students and tutored graduate courses while in graduate school. Math and its applications (e.g., finance, economics and statistics) comprise my favorite subjects. I believe that positive reinforcement and goal setting are critical to student success. Building upon strengths and proactively addressing weaknesses in a collaborative way help to build students' confidence and self-esteem.

I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. I was a national topper in Physics at High School level, and am an expert in STEM subjects, including Math, Chemistry and Physics. I worked in the telecommunications industry for 30 years and am now retired. I have also taught math and science subjects at the college-level in New Jersey. I am focused on tutoring high school and middle school students in Maths, Chemistry and Physics, ACT/SAT Test Prep at all levels in High School.

I received my BFA in Design and Production from Carnegie Mellon University and my Masters of Elementary Education from Vanderbilt University. I currently work as a teacher in an Early Childhood Education School that is inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy and enriches learning in the natural world.When it comes to teaching, I work to be an educator that is responsive to the needs of students, weaves student interest into academics, and creates learning environments that encourage curiosity. I am passionate about connecting with students as individuals to create a strong foundation for our learning experiences.My approach to teaching all subjects is highly adaptable to the needs of the students and their personal contexts for learning. I approach literacy with focus on the foundational phonics skills and mechanics as well as engaging in rich and relevant texts. In math, I focus on building concrete representations of the problems and building up into those more challenging symbolic representations. I work to bring games, arts integration, and brain breaks into all learning to foster a positive environment and create deep connections to the material.

I am an experienced Mechanical Engineer currently trying to make my way into the product design arena. I recently moved to Oregon from Michigan in pursuit of this goal! I have always loved and had a skill for math and physics. This was only strengthened through two degrees in engineering.Although my formal tutoring didn't start until college, in high school I did some volunteer tutoring and was often helping my friends with their physics and calculus homework. When I did tutor, I tutored mainly in all levels of math.

I recently completed my master's degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I currently work as a freelancer translating Spanish-English/English-Spanish. Learning Spanish was one of the most rewarding educational experiences of my life and I hope to share that with my students. Learning languages is difficult and can be frustrating, but it needn't be. I take an individualistic approach to teaching languages and want to ensure that my students enjoy the process, regardless of proficiency or age.

I am a professional writer and graduate of Carnegie-Mellon University with a bachelor of science degree. I am comfortable tutoring elementary, secondary, and college students in all types of writing assignments and classroom presentations.As a marketing communications manager, I mentored dozens of interns in business writing and presentations. Developing presentation and writing skills requires practice; there is no substitute. I will provide you the one-on-one coaching and feedback needed for you to write clearly and to speak fluently and with confidence in front of an audience.

What makes teaching important to me is not just the education aspect but the fun that comes with it. Learning doesn't always have to be strict. The beauty of learning is that there's many ways to do it.

I am a PhD student majoring in computational physics. I have solid background in theory training. At the same time, I am willing to help anyone with the subjects that I am familiar with! I have been serving as TAs for students that coming from very different ages and backgrounds.I strongly believe that no pains, no gains! Nothing is difficult in the world if you put your heart into it!

My name is Zhaleh BassiriRad and I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering and Japanese at Carnegie Mellon University. I enjoy tutoring because I love sharing knowledge with others, especially in one-on-one sessions, or with a small group. Teaching others is a great way to expand understanding of how other students think and develop ideas, and it allows myself to see new ways to look at problems. While I'm not studying (or helping my friends study), I love to play music (piano, flute, guitar), take a walk through the forest preserve, draw, design/sew clothing, chat with friends, etc. I look forward to contributing to students' learning endeavors!
