I graduated from Charter Oak State College with my Bachelor's of Science in General Studies with a concentration in History. I love learning about how the cultures of our world came to be. I have discovered a passion for tutoring as I love both watching students have "lightbulb moments" when concepts begin to make sense and encouraging them to not give up when they don't. I have tutored a broad range of subjects from math and beginner Spanish to reading and essay writing. In my spare time I love writing, stargazing, and doing yoga.

I am an upbeat and bright man who can quickly establish a rapport with a child in need of some academic help. I can keep a child engaged and keep to the subject matter.My strong suits are the basic sciences of Chemistry and Physics as well as Mathematics. I have taught the essentials of mechanics and engineering using Lego and I have taught the basics of civics and business as a Junior Achievement teacher in the upper elementary schools.I worked with adults as an English as a Second Language Teacher as well.

I believe all students should have the opportunity to have an education no matter who they are. All students should be treated equally. My strong point in education is helping and guiding students who need extra attention. I break material down and create an atmosphere where student want to learn and look forward to the next class.

Do you have big dreams? I know how you feel because I have big dreams, too! I'd consider it my pleasure to help you fulfill your dreams. Back in the 70's, I dreamed of being the female version of Frank Lloyd Wright. Most teachers and guidance counselors tolerated my dream rather than being genuinely supportive. I wasn't trying to be a feminist or make a political statement. I was just a kid that knew what she wanted from a very young age: a career that allowed me to do what I enjoyed most - being creative and solving problems. Enjoyment of these two activities still fuels my passion for tutoring Math, Writing (Composition or Research), and Marketing. I have experience homeschooling my son from kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) and serving as a volunteer tutor at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission for K-12. College Writing and Marketing are fresh on my mind because I recently returned to college online to complete a customized Bachelor of Science degree in Business and Communications. I now use words instead of freehand sketches and artistic renderings to paint word pictures that communicate my ideas. In my free time, I love to read and study the Bible, spend time with family and friends, and cooking. I operated a personal chef service for several years and still get requests for my chocolate chip cookies. I think cookies are a great way to celebrate achieving a goal! How about you?

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!

I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
