BA Johnson C Smith University • Doctor of Philosophy, Public Health Walden University
4+ Years Tutoring

As an educator with 15+years experience, I am thrilled about the opportunity to apply my skills and experience in your science teaching role. In addition to my Bachelor of Science in Biology, and Doctoral of Philosophy in Public Health allotted me the opportunity to teach students across a diverse sector ranging from middle to collegiate levels. The lesson plans I constructed and implemented consisted of identifying the learning style of each student and aligning that style to the different areas of learning. For instance pre-assessment and post-assessment were issued that consisted of science content along with the following learning styles: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and reading and writing. This approach aided in each student having a tailored made lesson plan.

10+ Years Tutoring

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.

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Charles
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

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!

MS Simmons College • BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

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!

Christopher
BA Harvard College
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tutors who graduated from Johnson C Smith University bring firsthand knowledge of the university's academic culture, coursework rigor, and expectations. They've successfully navigated JCSU's curriculum and can share proven study strategies, time management techniques, and insights into what professors expect—helping students excel in their courses and build strong academic foundations.

JCSU alumni tutors excel across the university's core academic areas, including business, STEM fields, humanities, and social sciences. Because they've completed these coursework sequences themselves, they understand common challenge areas, effective problem-solving approaches, and how concepts connect across disciplines—making their instruction particularly relevant for current JCSU students.

Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your academic goals, current challenges, and learning style. The tutor will ask about specific courses, assignments, or concepts you're struggling with, then create a personalized plan to help you succeed—whether that's exam prep, essay writing, problem-solving skills, or mastering difficult material.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction addresses your unique learning needs in ways large lectures cannot. A tutor can slow down on difficult concepts, adjust explanations to your learning style, provide targeted practice, and help you build confidence—all of which lead to better grades, deeper understanding, and stronger academic performance in your JCSU courses.

An alumnus tutor understands JCSU's specific academic environment, knows which professors emphasize certain topics, and can share real examples from their own coursework. They can also offer perspective on balancing academic demands with campus life, connecting you with resources, and building the skills that lead to success both in the classroom and beyond.

Varsity Tutors connects you with a tutor who matches your needs and academic goals. You'll work together in personalized sessions where the tutor focuses on your specific challenges—whether that's understanding course material, preparing for exams, or improving your writing. The tutor adapts their approach based on your progress and feedback throughout the process.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor qualifications, and your specific needs. Varsity Tutors offers flexible options to fit different budgets and schedules. Contact us to discuss your academic goals and get matched with a tutor whose rates and availability work for you.
