Hello, my name is Paul, and I am passionate about helping students in the areas of computer science and math and making sure that no question goes unanswered! I can guarantee a safe environment where hard work and creativity will be the basis for success! Let's have some fun solving problems!

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.

Its a pleasure to be working with students and a true joy to watch them succeed.I have worked in the Software development industry, I'm often learning up new programming languages. I know the feeling of confidence when you find clarity on a subject. Its empowering, makes you want more challenges and dream Big! That's what's exciting about learning.Outside of work, I enjoy outdoors, hiking and being with Nature. I also enjoy reading, mostly non-fiction and I try to get through a book each week.A famous proverb says "When a student is ready, the teacher appears.." so if you need any assistance at all, feel free to reach out.

I am currently working towards my Masters of Arts degree in Literary and Cultural Studies at Carnegie Mellon University. Some of my current interests are postcolonial studies, literary journalism, and memoir writing. Before attending Carnegie Mellon University, I graduated from Allegheny College where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. At Allegheny College I primarily focused on Gothic and Victorian literature, postcolonial theory, representations of animals and the environment in literature, and poetry composition. In addition to my educational experience at Allegheny College, I also had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with one of my professors on a co-authored paper titled "Shakespeare's Starlings" which will be available in this November's edition of "Environmental Humanities"! I tutor literature-related subjects ranging from High School English to College Essay Writing, as I am most passionate about this wonderful field, and eager to use my academic experiences to help students connect and engage with meaningful texts in a more enriching manner than is typically fostered by a traditional classroom setting, where ample time to discuss the richness of cultural works is so often cut short. Additionally, I love helping students develop thoughtful and original analyses of various literary works, because working through analytical and cultural problems improves critical thinking skills, encourages creativity, and promotes the ability to communicate effectively both verbally, and in a written format. Finally, I am deeply committed to helping students in any field excel at essay writing! I absolutely love editing papers, and I take a very hands-on approach in doing so by encouraging students to read their papers aloud with me in order to mutually identify and discuss any grammatical or logistical errors. It is very important to me that students leave a tutoring session understanding why they are correcting errors, not just how to, so that they fully grasp how to preemptively identify similar problems in future papers that they compose. I have seen considerable success using this technique, and most people I've worked with have advanced their writing by two letter grades after working with me three to four times. While I am most passionate about tutoring students working on essays in the fields of English and Literature, I have written in a wide variety of styles including: book reviews, computer science write-ups, data stories, literary journalism pieces, historiographical essays, memoir pieces, research proposals, personal statements, poetry, philosophy essays, satire, science reports, and more! Essay writing can be fun, engaging, and rewarding when approached in the right way, and I strive to bring the enthusiasm and love I have for this essential skill to every tutoring session I conduct.

I enjoy working one on one with students to increase their understanding, learning and confidence. I like to use different methods of teaching, depending on the individual and their strengths. I am an advocate for determination, organization, and hard work in approaching learning and achieving success in school.

In today's world of technology and computing, it is important to be able to think flexibly and conceptually. I have taught from the elementary level to the graduate level. At all stages of learning, being able to understand a concept is more important than being able to do a concept.I am a graduate from the University of Rochester where I majored in Economics. I had an emphasis on social choice theory and game theory as well as econometric analysis. Here, I understood the importance of conceptual thinking- where understanding the numbers and equations are not as important as understanding the meaning.I am currently a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University majoring in flute performance. Previously, I did my bachelor's degree at the Eastman School of Music. Here, I learned the importance of daily practice and commitment to the fundamentals for personal growth. I also learned that any skill (including testing) can be mastered with enough practice.

Hi! My name is Ryan; I am a recently graduated Mechanical Engineering major from Carnegie Mellon University. I tutored for three years before starting with Varsity, and I can't wait to help you!

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 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 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 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 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.
