I am an electrical engineer from Brooklyn, New York. I possess a bachelor's degree (CUNY) and master's degree (NYU) in electrical engineering and specialize in power systems. I would like to share with you all of my problem solving knowledge I have acquired and develop you into a productive and confident student.Many students suffer from anxiety when dealing with math and physics and then decide to want nothing to do with these subjects. They feel like they don't have the mind to understand mathematical concepts. But I tell you that you have the potential and mental capacity to learn the math and physics you need to excel in your courses, pass your exams and move on with your life.Understanding math and physics is a matter of first discovering in which areas of the concepts are your weakness and then strengthen your understanding in these areas and move forward. I can help you understand concepts you are having difficulty with and develop you into a productive and confident problem solver. You will be very surprised and proud of the progress and success you make with just a little effort and faith. So let's get started! :)

I am a graduate student at City College where I am getting certified to teach ENL and 7-12 Math. I love working with students of all ages, and from a multitude of backgrounds. A few years ago, I lived in Istanbul, Turkey for a year and taught math & English to 1st and 2nd grade students. In my spare time I also tutored younger students and adults. I currently tutor a range of students from kindergarten to adults in math & reading and love tutoring more and more everyday. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, hiking, swimming, cooking and traveling.
I am passionate about teaching math to high schoolers. My specialty is being able to connect Mathematical concepts to real world and simplifying complex problems in order for the students to feel confident with their math knowledge.
Hi there! My name is Kehinde and I absolutely love tutoring. I am an exceptional student in all subjects, but I prefer to tutor students in mathematics. I have been tutoring students for 3 years now at various after-school programs. I also have 3 younger siblings so I know how to get kids to focus during sessions. Most kids find learning math to be boring but I believe that with a little bit of encouragement, they will excel in no time.
Since I was young I knew that I loved work related to helping others. When I was in high school I spent my lunch periods volunteering and tutoring in a program where I taught students who were between the ages of 14 to 21 reading skills. Many of the students I worked with had physical and intellectual disabilities, which caused a growing passion in me for working with this population. In college I spent summers working as a job coach, helping adults 18 and over with disabilities find work, and then I would help train them in the positions they received. In addition to studying education in college, I studied literature, as I have always been fascinated with how and why people act the way they have throughout history. Over the last six years I have taught in a public middle school in Jackson Heights queens. I have taught 3 years of seventh grade, and 3 years of 8th grade English Language Arts. Throughout these years I have worked with English language learners, students with special needs, and honors students. For the last two years and the upcoming school year my teaching program is focused on gifted and talented students. I have become a teacher who is eager to figure out how to challenge students in a way that they find valuable.After high school, I attended the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and began studying literature and education. I finished earning my bachelor's degree in middle and high school English education closer to home at The City College of New York. I began teaching immediately, and earned my Masters in Special Education at the same time. I have taken numerous professional courses on teaching English to students of all levels, and have most recently been professionally involved in developing my ability to work with gifted and talented / honors students. At the school where I teach I helped run the debate team for 3 years, and am currently in charge of the school's newspaper and journalism club. I am planning on continuing my education and am considering starting a new focus in creative writing, an area that I personally enjoy and have made an important part of my classroom over the years.I am dedicated to teach to student's needs and help them obtain strategies that best fit the type of learner they are. My approach to teaching is to assess student strength and weakness, and to help them become aware of this so that they can capitalize on what they do well, and learn ways to effectively approach what they have trouble with. I am passionate about learning and seeing others succeed. I love all things English Language Arts, and am always willing to give my best shot at working with any student to help them improve in this area.
I consider myself an interactive yet patient tutor who will adapt to each student's needs and pace. I am eager to help students of all ages improve their language skills in Spanish, English and French!
Hi there! My name is Zach. I'm a PhD at Harvard studying German philosophy and classics (Greek and Latin). Next year, I will be starting law school to pursue my professional passion, tax law. I am deeply committed to the language and LSAT skills I've developed and I love to tutor students of all levels in these subjects. I can't imagine a life without teaching. My favorite part of teaching is helping students come to love -- or at least appreciate -- the details that make up complex subject matters. My favorite moment with any student is when the student realizes how fascinating a subject matter is after really mastering all of the "dry" details. When my students start internalizing the LSAT or languages I am teaching them, I know I am doing my job.I graduate summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from CUNY Macaulay Honors College in New York City, and started teaching undergraduate and graduate classes during my last year there. At Harvard, I have earned the Derek Bok Certificate for Excellence in Teaching three separate times. I have taught students as young as 14 and as old as 85.German: I studied abroad in Osnabrck, Lower Saxony and Berlin, where I earned my C2 certificate (near-native proficiency) in German. While in Germany, I took classes, taught in German, on Greek and Latin philology. I have taught beginning, intermediate, and advanced German at both regular and intensive paces at Harvard and CUNY.Greek and Latin: I am standing faculty at the Greek/Latin Institute, a famously intensive classical languages boot camp in New York City. I have taught students from all around the world and at all ages there. I have also taken all of the most advanced Greek and Latin coursework at Harvard.I studied comparative literature (French, Italian, and English) as an undergrad alongside my studies of classics. For my masters degree, I had to pass a three-part exam at Harvard on the history of German literature. My knowledge of literature is broad and deep!I earned a 174 on the LSAT (99th percentile).Ready to get to work and dive into the weeds? Want to know more about what working together would look like? I would love to hear from you.
My name is Uzair, I graduated from The City College of New York with honors in Biochemistry. I have been tutoring for over 2 years in biochemistry/chemistry/biology/STEM both for a chemical society and as a recitation leader, thus I have a great understanding of the nuances of learning biochemistry/chemistry/biology. During these two year I did both one on one tutoring and group sessions, In both I used question from textbooks to help students learn concepts. I would go through a question step by step, but also addressing multiple other ways to answer questions. I really do believe that any student can learn biochemistry/chemistry/biology /STEM if their hearts in it. I can help reach your full potential with work hard and great study skills. I primarily tutor college kids in science (physics and chemistry), but I have also tutored high school level math and science for a non-profit in the NYC, so I have worked with all ages and all skill levels. More specifically these high school kids often come from school that do not have adequate resources to help these kids become successful in STEM courses. Thus, I have to become clever in the way I relay topics to them.When teaching, my focus will be on relaying the concept the student in a very simplistic manner and then increase their understanding with detail on that particular concept. Also if possible I'll give practice problems for them to do as homework and then go over the difficult ones during the lesson. I believe if you can do the hard stuff the easy/medium difficulty questions are a breeze. We all know and science require practice and patience and hopefully I can do that with you or your child.FLEXIBLE HOURSI have availability both weekends and evenings during the week. I am happy to work with you or your student to find a time that works best.
I am a medical student in the US. I graduated from City College of New York, with a dual-Bachelor's degree for Biology and Psychology.

I graduated with a Master's in Translational Medicine from the City College of New York in Fall 2020 and a Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering with a focus in biotechnology from the University of Oklahoma in Spring 2018. I previously worked as an associate product manager with a mental health technology startup and before that as a research technician at EyeCRO, a pharmaceutical company based in Oklahoma City. I really enjoy helping students out and serving as a personable, easygoing mentor. Outside of that, I love music and DJing/producing, building community and hosting events, being involved in justice activism, going to concerts, keeping up with the latest in art and fashion, and experiencing new cultures through traveling.
I am currently studying at the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education. This is an accelerated BS/MD program in CUNY City College. I am in my third year and am currently taking medical school courses. After my fifth year in City College, I will be transferring to a participating medical school in the northeast region. I have been a private tutor for the past five years. I have worked with students of all age ranges in many different subjects. Though I am passionate about science, I tutor Math, English and Writing. I have found my niche to be helping students be confident and prepared for standardized tests such as the SAT, ISEE, etc. I believe that it is not always about easily knowing the right answer, but learning the steps to come to the correct conclusion. When I am not studying, I work in a psychology lab and explore places around New York City.
I have ample experience both as an adjunct and math tutor. I am comfortable teaching classes of up to 40 students down to tutoring a single student. My aim is not only to help students understand mathematics mechanically but also conceptually. I look for opportunities to connect a mathematical concept to something we use in our every day life.I have a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics from CUNY city college, an M.A in Statistics from CUNY Hunter college, and an M.S in Data Science from CUNY School of Professional Studies. During the day, I am a full time Data Scientist working in one of the largest companies in the world.
Each and every student is unique. I do not teach all my students the same way. I teach each student based on their needs and his or her learning style. I reward my students for good work, and I encourage them when they are struggling. I make learning fun, challenging and interactive. Majority of my students start to see improvement within the first few weeks. I am patient and passionate about tutoring, and I waste no time in helping my students to become confident and bold. I will do whatever it takes to make sure that my student is confident in the subject area. It is my duty to make sure that my students own their materials. As a tutor, I dedicate my time to molding my students intellectually and personally. My students improve drastically within the first few weeks of me tutoring them. You will not be sorry for hiring me: this is can promise.
As a medical student at the CUNY School of Medicine and a Full IB Diploma recipient of Yonkers High School, I have always found an affection for the learning community. As an older sister of two younger brothers, I have grown up tutoring and helping my brothers in all subjects focusing especially on English, Mathematics, and the Sciences. My passion for the medical sciences, chemistry, and biology led me to pursue a bachelor's degree in biomedical sciences and tutor in subjects such as biochemistry, immunology, virology as well as standardized exams like SATs and ACTs as well as IB Exams. My students have always appreciated my patience and dedication to helping them succeed and achieve their goals.
I am a mechanical engineering student who will graduate from The City College of New York this December. I hope to pursue a career in the energy industry once I graduate. I believe that this industry is the key in helping improve our environment for future generations and I hope to be involved in its effort to expand technologies in renewable energy.As an engineering student, I learned that knowing the right answer is not necessarily the most important thing. It is more important to learn how to solve a problem. When I encounter a problem that seems impossible, instead of simply giving up, I go back to my basics. Instead of focusing on what I do not know, I look at what information is given to me. I also look at the problem from a different angle to see if it is another way to solve the problem.I hope to teach students that despite how challenging a problem may appear, they shouldn't feel discouraged. They should know that there is always a way to solve it.
Hello everyone! I am a current third year medical student who is pursuing a medical career today thanks to a few very special mentors in my academic life. My goal as a tutor is to instill in my students an excitement for learning that encourages them to reach higher goals on their own. I believe math is the gateway subject that allows students to build confidence and tackle virtually every other subject. I also love learning and speaking new languages, which is a cultural window to a world of people that we were never privy to before. I would like to pass this love of languages on to my students as well.
I am a young educator who seeks to blend both creativity and structure into an effective teaching practice. I work to inspire children and adolescents to explore what they are taught and to find meaning through the literature they read. I try to mold my teaching styles and strategies around the students I interact with to make them feel comfortable in our shared learning environment so that they can get the most out of our time together.
Hi, my name is Elmar. I recently completed my M.A. in Math Education and now devote most of my time to teaching and tutoring. I enjoy teaching mathematics at all levels and working with students of all ages. I think that everyone can be good at math given the right approach and enough time and practice.
I am currently in my 9th year as a math teacher in New York City. I earned my B.A. in Mathematics from Skidmore College and M.A. in Secondary Mathematics Education from City College. I am a Master teacher with Math for America, and I write Common Core Algebra curriculum. At my current school, my work in the classroom has resulted in pass rates on the Common Core Algebra Regents improving from 32% to 83%. I love what I do, and my goal is to always create relationships with students that allow them to thrive. Connecting the work to student interests, allowing for discussion, incorporating humor, and addressing text anxiety, are among the few strategies that have resulted in my students' academic achievement. I'm all about building students' confidence with the subject and creating an environment where they feel comfortable making and learning from mistakes. I am excited to share my knowledge and love of math with students outside of my classroom. Let's work!
I am currently a creative writing major at The City College of New York (CCNY) and an aspiring poet, novelist, and playwright.I graduated from the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) with an Associate of Arts in Creative Writing with High Honors, and while earning my degree, I was the Vice President of CSN's Creative Writing Club and part of their editorial board for their literary and visual arts journal: Neon Dreams. I am also the winner of Steiner's Emerging Voices Scholarship for poetry and Neon Dreams' Monthly Writing Contest for poetry at CSN and the Goodman Fund Poetry Award at CCNY.Before earning my degree at CSN, I tutored students in English and math for the "No Child Left Behind" act which, in fact, had inspired me to go back to school and receive a formal education. Reading and writing are my passions, and I believe that anyone can find the joys of learning with the right attitude and proper motivation which is why I decided to get back into tutoring students.Apart from academia, I enjoy reading and writing (of course), listening to music, watching Broadway musicals and plays, exploring the city and, occasionally, revisiting old video games from my childhood.
As a tutor with over 5 years of experience, I am passionate about helping students navigate the complexities of Mechanical Engineering.

Plus, I get to teach one of the best subjects: math! I love helping kids learn math in different ways and I especially enjoy being a part of building their math confidence.
I am a recent graduate of the Teachers College, Columbia University, Technology Specialist K-12 program. Technology Specialists are trained to couple digital devices and applications with curriculum to facilitate learning transfer and boost student collaboration. While studying for my degree, I completed three hundred hours of student teaching and observation in public, private, elementary and high schools in districts throughout New York City. This experience fortified the ideology that utilizing virtual software diminishes didacticism, encourages student engagement and creates highly interactive learning environments.Prior to attending Teachers College, I obtained a Master of Science degree from Full Sail University, as an Innovation and Entrepreneurship major. This field of study provides students who wish to build start-up companies in the technology field with all the skills required to do so. The culmination of my studies resulted in the construction of a web-based, media company that coalesces viewers from around the world, in order to foster the transfer of socio-cultural awareness.My initial introduction to the classroom occurred upon graduating from the City College of New York. I was offered a permanent position as a third grade assistant teacher at the Ralph Bunch Elementary School in Harlem. There, I assisted students in lesson comprehension by reiterating classroom subject matter in small groups of three to five students. As well, by implementing innovative learning strategies, I helped the lead teacher propel our students well past expectations.As a Varsity Tutor, I am best suited to help elementary and middle school students strengthen their reading, comprehension and writing skills. I have a myriad of fun and interactive, virtual applications at my disposal that are designed to significantly increase students' reading fluency and understanding, as well as their writing ability.
As a Teacher knowledgeable of the needs of Students With Disabilities, my duty has been to ensure the success of all students under my charge. I've been very adamant about advocating for better placement, accommodation, and services for all students, as SPED pedagogy is not only beneficial to SPED students, but general students as a whole. I have been mindful of the 60/40 Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) compliance compositions, Individualized Education Plan (IEP) setting compliance, and above all, delivery of services by a SPED instructor.
I am a healthcare leader with over 12 years of professional experience and a passion for helping students build confidence and achieve their academic goals.

I am Biomedical engineering undergraduate in my senior year at City College of New York (CCNY). As a biomedical engineering student, I have expertise in science and mathematic courses. I have an extensive teaching experience of over 8 years. I have tutored physics, chemistry, biology, and maths to college students for three years. I also have experience in tutoring science and mathematics to high school students and lower grades. All my students love me because as a student, I understand the struggle of students and make them feel like I am one of their own. Through real life examples, illustrations, and humor, I make my teaching more intuitive and entertaining for my students. During my college tutoring I had experiences where students said they will take specific courses only if I tutor them those courses.Throughout my tutoring experience, physics has been my most favorite subject. Many college students fear physics which gives me a challenge to make it interesting as well as easy for them. Biology, chemistry, and math are my second favorite subjects because I use them every day in our Cardiovascular Research Lab at CCNY. Like any students, engineering students have to deal with lot of stress on daily basis. To get over these stresses, I watch TV shows, do light workouts, and try a variety of restaurants.
I take pleasure in helping students bridge the gap between the known and the unknown.
My love for English began in my childhood reading Tony Hillerman, R.L. Stine, and Mary Higgins Clark. At the High School of Fashion Industries, my English class read Macbeth - "You should be women, and yet your beards forbid me to interpret that you are so..." My English teacher, Dr. Bobo, would call me to read with her, and we intertwined together like in a dance. No other student reached my enthusiasm. I am a graduate of Hunter College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Film and English. I also graduated from City College with an M.S. in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). After graduation, I began to teach ESL as an Adjunct Instructor in Canal Street. Languages are amazing because they are pieces (letters, sound, words) that students need to put together to use in practice. I love teaching pronunciation, reading, writing, and listening. With students, I am patient and answer all their questions. To have fun, I use games, you tube, songs, and movies. Learning English or improving someone's English definitely improves a student's quality of life in America.
Growing up, in my opinion, is the most important part of adolescence. I grew up in a household where my mom, a single parent working many hours to make ends meet was out of the house a lot. As the oldest child I learned to start preparing dinner on the days that my mom didnt have time to. I set a good example for my sisters. I enforced rules such as bedtimes and I took the mantle and achieved the responsibility of the leadership position in my mothers absence. I did extracurricular activities and sports such as track & field and afterschool clubs. But towards sophomore year, my involvement in afterschool activities decreased, my mom got a new job with a different schedule that required me to pick up my sisters from school every day.I think that I had to grow up a little earlier than most kids around my age. Not many people that I know have grew up in the same circumstances that I did. I believe that this experience has and is continuing to make me grow into a more mature person with good character and strong leadership skills such as patience, determination, perseverance and self-sacrifice. I learned that there is a time and place for everything, which especially pertains to balancing schoolwork, social life and responsibilities. Many people especially my mother and sisters have too much reliance on me for something like that to be an option. Though my mother is everything for us and we would literally have nothing if it werent for her, there are even times when she says to me, where would we be without you, or youve helped me so much, I cant imagine how we would have had ended up without you.
Hi, I am currently a 3rd year Ph.D. student in Mathematical Modeling in NY. I have a B.S in pure mathematics and a M.S in Applied and Computational Math. My friends say that they love my energy. I enjoy what I do or play and those things are mathematics and soccer.
I graduated Summa Cum Laude with Bachelors in Electrical Engineering in 2013. I’ve also received Department Honors for Academic Excellence in Mathematics from the Chairman of the Math Department. I’ve attained many other accolades that I am truly thankful for.Teaching has always been my one true passion. I have over seven years of tutoring experience, in the US and overseas. So, my multilingual and multicultural background helps me cross such barriers and connect with students better. Due to my vast experience, I’ve developed sophisticated communication techniques and understanding of students’ psychology that helps me pinpoint and help overcome the academic weaknesses with swift precision.I think it’s more important to lead students to the answer rather than simply delivering it. This instills the logic behind the answer and the process, and helps them think independently and analytically. Where appropriate, I employ the Suzuki method and have found that to be very effective.I mostly tutor math, reading, and writing courses. I am very experienced with test preparation subjects such as SSAT/SAT and ACT. Please see my profile for a full list of subjects.In my leisure, I like to dabble in music. I’ve studied Music Theory in my early years, and I play multiple musical instruments, including the piano. Music still remains a creative outlet for me.I also strongly believe in giving back to society and setting a good example, so I actively partake in philanthropic endeavors. Currently, I serve as a Board Member of the United Nations Association in Miami.
I currently maintain a strong GPA while taking part in several activities. I got the opportunity to take part in a Biology and Biochemistry research lab, as well as become a Research Associate at Brooklyn Hospital. I am currently a member of the Alpha Epsilon Honors Society, and a Collegiate Health Service Corps Fellow. Secondly, I am a Peer Mentor for incoming biology students. I also became the treasurer of the Medical Roots Project, which is a nonprofit organization that focuses on the underserved population by providing pop-up clinics. Moreover, I am part of a major African Dance group called TRYBE. For a form of income, I began tutoring in math and chemistry. Lastly, I recently began working as a Pharmacy Technician. I take pride in educating individuals from different communities and I hope to dismantle the barriers that prevent students from receiving the best education possible.
I am a certified (NY and MA), retired science teacher willing to tutor you, or your son or daughter in IB Chemistry, HS Chemistry, AP Chemistry, SAT Chemistry and/or ACT Science. I taught for 45 years and I have not lost my knack for motivating, encouraging, and helping students. Chemistry, in particular, with a Periodic Table of Elements, balanced chemical equations, moles, stoichiometry and electrochemistry involve a morass of numbers that I can readily explain. I have resided in SE North Carolina for 12 years now and have tutored chemistry students at UNC at Wilmington in CHEM 101. Both students successfully improved their average and achieved Final Grades of B+. One high school student was only a freshman enrolled in Honors Chemistry, and she achieved her goal for the course, an A. Another high school student, a Junior, was very bright who had difficulty understanding her teacher. We worked together for 6 months with immeasurable success. I am passionate about Chemistry and how it affects our everyday lives, e.g. the Cape Fear River water contamination. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience to help you. I promise you complete satisfaction if you hire me. I look forward to hearing from you. "When words are both true and kind, they can change the world" (Buddha)
I am a second year in the Sophie Davis Program for Biomedical Education. I hold an Associates Degree from Bard College, which I obtained while still in high school. As a pre-medical student, I have a deep love for the sciences but I also love learning new things. My favorite subject to tutor would be Spanish but I am also proficient in English, Writing, Biology, and Algebra. I have been tutoring for four years and have experience tutoring elementary to high school students. I believe that when tutoring I should allow students to explain their confusion so that we can work together towards the advancement of their knowledge. Just lecturing or telling you the answer isn't enough! Outside of school, I love cooking, exercising, reading, doing research, and volunteering.
I hold a B.A. in Communication from the College of Mount Saint Vincent and I am completing an M.A. in The Study of the Americas from The City College of New York. I'm passionate about the importance of the liberal arts in education and my tutoring strengths include all areas of English and Spanish, as well as US and Latin American history. I have more than 10 years of teaching experience, including 3 in Mexico, and there's nothing else I'd rather be doing. I currently teach ESOL as an adjunct at Westchester Community College and Borough of Manhattan Community College.
I graduated from CUNY City College with a major in Biomedical Engineering and a minor in Mathematics. I have vast research experience in the fields of Biomedical Imaging, Neuroimaging, and Biotechnology. I have worked in places such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Lincoln Labs, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, National Institute of Health (NIH) Clinical Center, Columbia University Medical Center, and Nathan Kline Institute of Psychiatric Research conducting research. Through this research, I have published 6 journals article publication and one report. I also plan to start my Ph.D. in Medical Physics at the University of Wisconsin Madison later this year. I am also currently working as an Assistant Research Scientist at New York University (NYU) teaching pre-college prep courses to incoming College students (High school students). The courses I teach in this varsity tutors platform are Biomedical engineering, College Physics, College Math, Engineering, Computer Programing, Programing Languages, Math, Physics, Python, Science, and Technology and Coding. I like to teach courses by trying to find real-world applications of the theory taught in classes. I also ask students if they have any problems they want to go over together to bring them before to the session beforehand.
