I am a freshman undergraduate at Johns Hopkins University. I am majoring in Molecular and Cellular Biology and minoring in Spanish on the pre-med track! I have been a tutor for all 4 years of high school. I have helped students with mathematics, ranging from middle school to college level courses, as well as intermediate Spanish. I have also worked at Kumon for the past 3 years and have experiences in teaching English, grammar, and reading for all high-school level courses. While I am confident in my abilities to help students in science (biology and chemistry!), I am most passionate about helping students in mathematics, whether that is with the SAT, ACT, AP, and excel at reviewing college admission essays. I am a firm believer in creating an organized and adaptive tutoring program, allowing students to practice with questions that would challenge them in beneficial ways.

My passion for helping students stems from the belief that education is a powerful tool for transforming lives. As a teacher I was driven by the joy of witnessing the moment a student grasps a new concept. My experience with students spans several years, during which I have worked in various capacities, including as a classroom teacher and a private tutor. This journey began shortly after I completed my education at Johns Hopkins University where I earned a Master of Arts in International Affairs. Currently, I am furthering my education by pursuing [Current Degree or Certification, if applicable]. In my tutoring career, I have covered a range of subjects, but my specialization lies in Mathematics- Algebra. The logical structure and problem-solving aspects of mathematics fascinate me, and I relish the opportunity to help students discover the beauty and practicality of the subject. My teaching philosophy is centered around the idea that learning should be student-focused and tailored to individual needs. I believe in creating an engaging, interactive, and supportive learning environment that encourages students to think critically and independently. My tutoring style is adaptive, incorporating various teaching methodologies to suit the unique learning style of each student. Outside of academia, my interests are diverse. I enjoy soccer, reading, and designing digital art and products. These activities not only provide a balance to my career pursuits but also enrich my teaching by bringing a broad range of experiences and perspectives to the table. In summary, my passion for education, combined with my academic background and diverse interests, drives my commitment to helping students achieve their full potential.

Hi! My name is Tanish, and I am an undergraduate student at Johns Hopkins University seeking a bachelor's in biomedical engineering. Throughout high school, I set up free summer camps and tutored a wide range of subjects including math, English, biology, physics, and SAT prep. I am most passionate about math and physics, but I am open to teaching a broad range of subjects. I firmly believe in an interactive, lighthearted learning environment. I look forward to meeting you!

I am a bilingual Mandarin-English tutor with extensive experience teaching ESL, Mandarin Chinese, and music to students of different ages and levels. I focus on clear explanations, structured lessons, and helping students build confidence step by step. My teaching style is patient, practical, and adaptable, with an emphasis on making challenging material approachable and engaging.

My tutoring sessions are interactive, patient, and highly personalized. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all methodeach student learns differently, so I adapt my approach to match their individual pace, goals, and learning style. I focus on helping students truly understand the why behind each concept, not just memorize formulas or shortcuts. Together, we work step-by-step through problems, discussing reasoning, strategy, and underlying principles until everything clicks. My goal is to build lasting confidence and clarity. Whether a student is catching up, aiming to excel, or just trying to feel more comfortable with the material, I create a supportive environment where they can ask questions freely, think critically, and stay engaged. I also believe in strong communicationkeeping parents informed and helping students take ownership of their learning. Above all, I want my students to leave each session feeling capable, confident, and genuinely connected to what they're learning.

I love tutoring math! I really enjoy the one-on-one and small-group teaching experiences. I have found it rewarding to create a collaborative environment in which students are comfortable, confident, and inspired. I am passionate about motivating students to learn in a supportive and caring environment. Although I am motivated to build up a student's confidence, I am also demanding and feel it is important to motivate them to reach their fullest potential. I enjoy challenging bright, motivated students, but I am also skilled at teaching students with executive functioning challenges, ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety, and those on the spectrum. Furthermore, I am skilled at bringing families--as well as a student's entire educational support team--into the learning process through collaboration and detailed feedback of the student's progress. I have worked at Varsity Tutors for almost 9 years (between 30-35 hours per week) and have consistently maintained a 5-star rating based on client fee

Hello, my name is Audrey! I'm a biology major (with a focus on ecology and evolution) who is currently getting their master's in environmental science and policy. I'm the most experienced in tutoring in ecology (up to a Bachelor's level), but I also have a lot of experience in biology in general, chemistry, some physics, math up to Calculus, literature, and history. I can also help with some strategies for SAT prep (especially for the multiple-choice sections). I'm looking forward to working with you, and letting you get to know a bit more about the life sciences!

I have been teaching for eight years, and nothing brings me greater joy than watching students grow into the readers, writers, and thinkers I know they can be. Most of that growth happens because I try to make the teaching environment a safe, comfortable, laughter-filled place where students can explore new ideas and express their thoughts and feelings. I find poetry particularly useful for that, and over and over again I have seen how students who resisted poetry when they walked into my classroom left at the end of the term with the sense that they would be reading poetry for the rest of their lives.

Hi! My name is Luke Jenusaitis and I am currently a Second Year Medical Student! I believe I have vast experience with prepping for standardized tests, coming up with strategies and best fitting the needs of each individual student. My specialities include biochemistry, biology, genetics, MCAT prep, and any other science related material.

I have just graduated with a degree in Economics from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. My main focus was on financial models and health economics. I held multiple positions at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health where I worked with professors to conduct statistical research in the department of Population, Family & Reproductive Health. Before Hopkins, I received an International Baccalaureate Diploma in Geneva, Switzerland, where I studied higher level Math, Economics, English, and Physics. I also attended the Hopkins School in New Haven for grades seven through nine. I look forward to helping you reach your goals, whether it be for ACT preparation, Advanced Placement classes, or college courses.

When we are struggling, we often blame ourselves or our own insufficiencies. However, I strongly believe that no student is "slow" ill suited to the subject; rather, students who are struggling need a little support and an adult who is eager to invest time and energy into their success. In a tutoring session with me, you should expect to engage in the content you're learning in ways that best suit your needs and interests so that you can be successful and confident in class.I currently live in Dayton, Ohio but I've lived all over the country. I graduated with a dual major from Millersville University of Pennsylvania, where I was an active part of the honors college and graduated summa cum laude. I coached and tutored though high school and college, where I realized my passion for meeting students where they were and helping them succeed in their next steps. I taught several different courses of high school science for several years and loved it. My favorite part of teaching was building relationships and supporting students, which is why I am tutoring!I am most excited to tutor middle and high school science students, but I tutor many subjects for students of all ages. I enjoy the tutoring experience because of the one-on-one interaction allows students to get more individualized support that is rooted in their own needs and interests.

I joined TFA-New York City and was assigned as a 5th Grade Special Education teacher at P.S. 325 in Harlem in 2011. I was rated an effective teacher both years. It was at P.S. 325 where I learned to use various technologies such as PowerPoint, iPad apps, an interactive SmartBoard and enthusiasm to connect with my students while teaching Math. At one point, TFA asked me to give a seminar to other Corps Members that taught them how to make their presentations more interactive and engaging. I learned how to manage multiple projects and people, while continuing to develop professionally. I engaged with the community, located just blocks from Columbia University, and began to understand the fragmentation of New York City.

I started teaching while an undergrad at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, taking on the role of Teacher's Assistant to a Film Professor at Amherst College. After that I became a corp member of Teach For America Hawaii. Through this program I gained teaching experience first in Phoenix, Arizona, where I spent six weeks teaching 6th grade math. For the following two years I taught first grade in Pahala, HI.What makes me a great tutor is a passion for education and personal relationships. I have always taken pride in academic achievement, and I am able to share that enthusiasm for accomplishment with my students through engaging teaching strategies as well as forging interpersonal relationships.My experiences teaching have led me to realize that learning is a complex process that requires more than academic content. Creating a positive environment in the classroom (or wherever we decide to do our learning) makes learning exciting. Grasping difficult concepts is a whole lot easier when the process is fun! I bring energy and empathy into my instruction, and build personal relationships with my students, which can help make things that are "boring"or "too hard" a challenge that we both want to overcome. Guiding students to achieve their goals is what drew me to the field of education, and tutoring allows me to invest my energy in those successes. Let's accomplish our goals together!

I am a proud graduate of Williams College (Go Ephs!). I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biology and English, with a Concentration in Neuroscience. After graduation, I joined the world of play and enjoyed two amazing years with The LEGO Group. My time with LEGO inspired me to bring fun and engaging educational opportunities to children, especially those with special needs. This led me to pursue substitute teaching and ultimately to become a full time teacher. I received my Master of Science in Secondary Math Education from Johns Hopkins University and have been a Secondary Special Education teacher in Texas for four years. Although I teach all four core subjects, I am most passionate about making Math and Science engaging and relevant for middle school and high school students. I love working with students with diverse learning needs and I'm comfortable modifying the content to meet each person at their personal starting point. I set high expectations and leverage explicit instruction in organizational skills, study skills, vocational skills, and financial literacy to help our students prepare for standardized tests, college, and their careers. In my spare time, I am an avid reader of thrillers, graphic novels, and comic books, a painter, a writer, and a runner.

I'm currently a sophomore at Johns Hopkins University double majoring in Molecular/Cellular Biology and Public Health, while also minoring in Financial Economics. I am passionate about tutoring because it allows me to help others succeed and thrive, which means a lot to me. I have previously been in situations when I was confused about a subject, and I would love to help out and clear up any questions. Tutor STEM and the SA are of my favorite subjects to tutor because it allows me to guide students through complex problems, helping them develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Personally, seeing students' "aha" moments when they grasp a tough concept is incredibly rewarding and motivates me to continue tutoring.

As a dedicated Venezuelan-American educator with a Bachelor's in Music Performance from Johns Hopkins University, I have over 2 years of experience in tutoring diverse subjects, including AP Spanish Language & Culture, ESL, and elementary math and reading. My teaching philosophy centers on creating engaging and supportive learning environments where students feel empowered to express themselves and explore new concepts. I am passionate about fostering a love for languages and literacy, tailoring my approach to meet each student's unique needs and learning style. I find joy in witnessing students' growth and confidence as they master new skills, and I am committed to helping them achieve their academic goals. In my free time, I enjoy exploring music and literature, which enriches my teaching and connection with students.

I am a sophomore at Johns Hopkins University studying Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. I tutor many STEM subjects, SAT/ACT prep, and AP/IB classes! In the years past, I've mentored two robotics teams and I have experience tutoring at my school and in my neighborhood. I deeply believe that an intuitive understanding of educational content is crucial to success, and I implement this philosophy by teaching problem-solving techniques and strategies in addition to the material. In my free time, I love to read, paint, crochet, and watch TV shows. :)

I hold a Master's degree from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a Bachelor's degree from Johns Hopkins University. I tutored GED math for 3 years in college, so I have experience breaking down concepts for students with a variety of learning styles. I've also informally tutored other students in my math and science classes. My favorite part of working with students is seeing people's faces light up when they understand a tough concept. In my free time, I enjoy reading, walking, dancing, and listening to music.

I have been an elementary and middle school teacher for the past 14 years, and enjoy working with all ages of students. My focus over the last few years has been to delve deeply into the science behind learning to read. As a result, I have become a Certified Orton Gillingham Instructor through the Institute for Multi-Sensory Education (IMSE). The Orton Gillingham (OG) approach consists of multi-sensory instruction that is direct, explicit, and systematic. Lessons are based on the individual needs of the student. It has been proven over time to be a very effective way to teach students with reading difficulties, including dyslexia, to read. I look forward to help you or your child experience the joy of learning to read.

I am a Physics and Math teacher with an undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering and a Masters degree in Physics. I have also taught Chemistry labs at the Community College. I have tutored college students in math, chemistry, and physics. I have also tutored K-12 students in all levels of math, reading and study skills. I am passionate about helping people feel comfortable with math and science, and I try to adjust my teaching style to the learning style of the students. In my spare time I love to read and do puzzles.

I am a recent graduate of Johns Hopkins University. I double-majored in Economics and Natural Science with a minor in psychology. I discovered my love for teaching during my undergraduate career. While I enjoy teaching a broad range of subjects my favorite subjects to teach are Economics and all STEM-related topics.

I am fourth-year medical student seeking to use some flexible time before I graduate to work with students interested in learning and growing to new heights.

Twelve years ago, I did not know a single word of Chinese. I started my first lesson at age 18, and struggled through that first year. Gradually, I rose to the top of my Chinese class and graduated with highest honors.I have lived in China the past 8 years. In that time, I have completed a Master's in Chinese and have a trove of life experiences: making sales, running focus groups, holding events, coaching frisbee, forging friendships -- all in China, all in Mandarin. I am fully fluent in reading, writing, and spoken Mandarin, but more importantly, I have an up-to-date understanding on how to interact with Chinese people today.I want to emphasize that I was not a "natural" language learner. I do not think there is such thing as "natural" language learners. I have found from my own experience that patience, hard work, and a sense of humor make all the difference in learning a difficult thing such as Mandarin.In terms of teaching, I like to use as many real-life situations as possible, to bring the language to life. Learning a language is hard, but it should always be inspiring.

I received a B.S. in Neuroscience from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. After graduating, I moved to Nashville where I worked in a lab at Vanderbilt University Medical Center for a year. I then earned my PhD in Biomedical Science at Northwestern University where my thesis focused on developing a gene therapy for Parkinson's disease. I love teaching all things science!

I have a passion for learning, so why not share my knowledge with other students just as motivated and excited to learn as I am!

I am a biochemistry and biotechnology professional with a strong background in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, scientific writing, academic communication, English, French, ESL, and FSL. I enjoy helping students make difficult material feel more approachable, whether we are working through a science concept, preparing for an exam, improving a writing assignment, or building confidence in a second language. I have been tutoring on and off since elementary school, so helping others understand challenging material has been part of my life for a long time. My teaching style is practical, supportive, and student-centered. I meet students where they are, identify what they already understand or can already communicate, and then help them bridge the gap step by step. For science students, I focus on helping them understand the "why" behind the material rather than simply memorizing terms or formulas. I use clear explanations, real-world examples, active recall, concept mapping, and guided problem-solving to help students build stronger foundations. For writing and language students, I use an immersive and communication-focused approach. I help students express their ideas more clearly, naturally, and confidently. I am bilingual in English and French. French is technically my native language, and I lived in France for six years, where I completed my high school education. This gives me a personal understanding of what it feels like to study, write, and communicate across languages. My goal is to help students feel less overwhelmed, more organized, and more confident in their own abilities. Whether a student needs support in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, scientific writing, academic English, ESL, French, or FSL, I aim to create a learning environment where questions are welcome, mistakes are part of the process, and progress feels achievable.

We should better the world by sharing knowledge, not hoarding it. In high school, tutors taught me not only how to tackle the SAT but how to tackle future college courses and intellectual challenges. To that extent, tutoring to me has always been a mentor-ship as well as a learning experience. I am a passionate problem-solver but patient and flexible with my teaching pace. In terms of tutoring style, I like to prepare a comprehensive review of the topics students are struggling with. I also like to bring in outside resources and review questions that mirror the material so students have more practice to fully master the material.I work out regularly and I like to play group sports. I also like to game so feel free to talk Super Mario or league of legends! I am excited to get to know you and work to get you the grades you deserve!

Hi! My name is Madeline Noble and I am currently a graduate student Johns Hopkins University getting my masters in chemical and biomolecular engineering. I have spent a lot of time around children and I have spent a good amount of time teaching as well. I want all students that I tutor to feel comfortable when I am tutoring them and I believe all students have the ability to improve. I am very comfortable teaching all subjects for grades up to 9th grade and, when dealing with high school courses, I love to tutor most math and science courses including many AP courses. I also have a lot of experience with standardized test prep and love to tutor for that as well.

My name is Adrian Time. I have a Master's Degree from John's Hopkins, with a 4.0 GPA. I was also on Dean's List in Medical School and ranked as their top student (different university). My undergrad studies were at Boston University.I have tutored medical school student for a few years (minimum). All subjects (except for reproductive), but Neuro, Cardio, Renal, Pulmonary, MSK, and many other medical subjects I have tutored/taught.Please let me know if you have further questions.

I have a PhD in Psychological and Brain Sciences from Johns Hopkins University and a BA in Psychology with a minor in History from Barnard College. I have experience teaching and tutoring undergraduate students and have volunteered as a high school math tutor. I have a strong interest in most academic subjects but I particularly enjoy tutoring math. I've made extensive use of statistics as part of my research on vision and attention so I'm in a good position to talk about how certain concepts are used in the real world. I'm also a huge bookworm and offer SAT Critical Reading prep as well as general tutoring for writing. My hobby is creative writing and I'm currently writing up parts of my dissertation for publication, so I can help with writing from literary analysis to history research papers to the writing aspect of lab reports. When I'm not reading or writing, I'm playing the hammered dulcimer and teaching myself to code in new languages.When a student is struggling I'm always on the lookout for issues that don't have to do with the specific subject matter, such as test anxiety, a lack of organization, of a belief that the subject matter will not be useful later in life. When it comes to the actual material, I believe that there is almost always more than one way to approach a problem and that students should figure out what works best for them. I've studied learning and memory extensively, so I'm always ready to offer up advice. Not everyone learns the same way, and that's fine! While it's ideal for students to gain a deep understanding of the material, when it comes to standardized and multiple choice tests, test-taking strategies make a huge difference. I've used these strategies very successfully in the past.

I received my Bachelor of Arts from Johns Hopkins University, with my degree in Anthropology, and a minor in Women and Gender Studies. Education has always been extremely important in my life, and subsequently I have sought out ways to share my knowledge with students as a tutor. I have tutored students ranging from the first grade through high school; every age/grade brings new and exciting challenges. I have experience successfully tutoring all general school subjects (English, History, Math, Science, Spanish), including English (ESL) to Spanish-speaking students, but my favorite subject to tutor would probably have to be English. I love challenging my students to accurately and grammatically express themselves through writing stories and learning new vocabulary words. I enjoy teaching them tricks to eventually self-correct themselves, use context clues to answer reading questions, and gain a better understanding of their English material. As a tutor, my style is to have fun with my students and establish a friendly bond. I find that this makes the learning come much easier, and paints a picture of their understanding beyond the homework page. I like to know what my students are interested in, how they enjoy school, their favorite subjects, their day-to-day, their extra-curricular activities, etc. Usually I find that my students already possess all the tools within to overcome any academic difficulty they may be experiencing. They simply need a little personal attention and encouragement to bring out their confidence and comfort with a subject, as well as a platform where they feel safe to ask any questions. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy staying active through yoga, running, dance, horseback riding, and sports. I also love to read and discover new music.

I first became interested in teaching and tutoring when I was a high school student taking an abundance of AP courses. Though these courses successfully prepared me for my college education, I felt that I could have benefited from tutoring myself. When I entered college, I initially enrolled hoping to pursue a degree in social studies education. However, through my coursework and study, I began to focus more on history and chose to change my major to history and my minor to classics. Throughout this transition, I have never lost my interest in teaching and education.My Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Gustavus Adolphus College has instilled in me a love of learning, skills in critical thinking, composition, writing, editing and much more. These skills, though not the main focus of my major, became the core of understanding for me throughout my education. Upon completion of my degree in May of 2016, I chose to pursue a gap year of service working with Minnesota Reading Corps, a division of AmeriCorps, as an elementary literacy tutor. In this role, I gained training in tutoring and developed skills that have helped me to better understand how to reach students.Beginning in the Fall of 2017, I will be pursuing a masters degree in Museum Studies from John's Hopkins University's Advanced Academic Programs department. Through this degree, I hope one day to become a curator at a history museum. This role would allow me to utilize my love of both history and educating the public.

I break nursing concepts into clear, manageable parts and connect every topic to real clinical examples. By simplifying complex material and grounding it in realworld application, I help students build confidence, strengthen critical thinking, and understand how classroom knowledge translates into safe, effective patient care.
