I am an adjunct professor at College of Staten Island and Long Island University. I have been lecturing in Anatomy and Physiology since graduate school. I received my Bachelors from Rutgers University (New Brunswick) in Cell Biology and Neuroscience and minored in Sociology. I also have a Masters in Biology from Long Island University. My desire to teach first occurred when I was a teaching assistant in biology and herpetology as a graduate student. As a TA, I assisted the professor in lab exercises, lecture exams, quizzes and review sessions. As an anatomy and physiology instructor, I have vast experience teaching biology courses to college-level students in all types of backgrounds and ages. My students tend to have interests in pursuing nursing, physician assistant, optometry, and physical therapy programs. I enjoy helping them in the process by writing letters of recommendation. I am extremely passionate about biology and the human body and love to share my enthusiasm with others. As a graduate student I gave conducted extensive scientific research and like to apply that to what I am teaching. In addition, I am able to provide knowledge and comprehension of higher-level material. I have received positive evaluations from students and colleagues in regards to my teaching methods, knowledge of material and engagement of students. I am confident that the student will excel because of the teaching methods I have acquired so far.

Hello, my name is Michelle! I am a graduate student at Long Island University studying Speech-Language pathology. I have always been passionate about working with students and I am excited to be able to help make subjects clearer and easier.

Through my professional experience as a Special Education middle school teacher, I have developed a unique toolkit of strategies to support students in mastering new and challenging skills. Central to my philosophy as an educator is the fact that all students are unique. These differences are not synamous with disadvantages. Different learning styles or varied personal interests are things to celebrate.By immediately identifying and leveraging an individual's strengths, I have helped students successfully overcome their weaknesses. With diverse strategies such as the use of mathematical models, pre-writing graphic organizers, and mnemonic self-monitoring reading strategies, my students have developed the ability to successfully demonstrate their knowledge.Through the use of formal and informal data collection, I am able to evaluate my successes and failures. Just as I say to my students, "failure is not final". Using my data, I am able to model resilience to my students by adapting my approach to best meet the individual needs of the student.In addition to my aforementioned pedagogical toolkit, I am a passionate learner. WIth my varied educational, professional, and personal experiences, I am able to tutor in a variety of content areas. Through my graduate education and experience as a teacher, I have expertise in teaching basic literacy through advanced algebraic math. My undergraduate experiences in Anthropology prepare me to support learners in writing organized, concise, and well-researched essays.Finally, my patience and love of learning equip me with the necessary characteristics to excel as a Varsity tutor.

Since starting my career as a teacher I have prided myself with creating a personal bond with my students. Not only does this set the student at ease, but it also allows me to identify how the students learns best. Learning can be a cause for anxiety. I like to build a relationship with my students and help them face fears about areas of anxiety. I have multiple ways of presenting content so that each student can discover which way works best for them. My goal is to get each student confident with a given material so that they can perform with ease.

I am a graduate of Long Island University, Brooklyn, NY, where I received my Master Of Science in Biology. After graduating, I worked as a biology technician in a community college and assisted in various research projects. During office hours, I would tutor students and help them with their laboratory reports. Working at the college allowed me to realize that my passion is to help students reach their full academic goals and potential. I then decided to change careers and become a high school biology teacher.Teaching and tutoring biology for the past twelve years has been challenging, yet rewarding. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it is necessary for an improved quality of life. I try to make this impact on all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, yoga, and exercising.

I am a dedicated teacher and tutor of the Spanish language. I learned the language while attending school in Mexico. I did this over a three year period while teaching middle school. I have NYS Spanish certification and look forward to working with young people and adults.

I am a certified teacher with a master's degree in Education which I received from Long Island University, Brooklyn Campus. My specialization is in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), but I also teach elementary school subjects. I studied Elementary Education and Anthropology in my undergraduate studies. Since I have a love for travel and learning about other cultures, I have lived and worked in three foreign countries; I taught English to university students in Kyrgyzstan through the United States Peace Corps and high school students in Guadalajara, Mexico and studied German while working as an au pair in Germany. While working on my master's degree, I taught adult immigrants in Flushing, Queens who wanted to improve their English. After graduating with my master's degree, I taught academic ESOL, essay writing, and adult continuing education at a city college in Queens, NY. Following that, I taught ESL to predominantly Egyptian, Arabic speaking, students at a high school and elementary school in New Jersey. I enjoy working with students of all ages. Working one one one with students is especially rewarding. Throughout my teaching career, I have provided private lessons to students in standardized tests, reading, writing, study skills and math. I believe in student-centered, hands-on learning. I help all of my students with study skills and overcoming barriers to study such as vocabulary and skipped gradients. I have traveled throughout Europe and love to learn about other cultures and lands. I also enjoy interior design, cooking and traveling. I am happy to be a part of Varsity Tutors and I look forward to meeting new students!

I believe that literacy and obtaining better than adequate writing skills are paramount necessities for today’s students, as they strive to acquire the skills needed for success in furthering their education, as well as entering the work force. I want my students to connect and identify with the characters in their assigned readings, and for them to be able to share their experiences with others verbally as well as through writing. I want to sustain an environment that facilitates a student’s creativity. I want students to feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a friendly environment with a knowledgeable tutor, who is passionate about literature and the writing process.For the past seven years I have been working in the New York City public school system as a teaching assistant. It has been my duty as well as my pleasure to work with students at all high school grade levels in various classrooms. I have had much success helping my students achieve their fullest potential in regards to the humanities. I have a passion for literature, history, and writing which I share in a friendly, enthusiastic, and easy to understand manner.As I embark on the next chapter of my life, I would love the opportunity to continue to assist young people with any literacy or general academic challenges they may be facing and tutoring would be a great opportunity to do so. I n my free time I enjoy music, sports and I like to stay active.

I am a licensed pharmacist in the US, but had the opportunity to teach clinical pharmacy overseas {Japan and Thailand} to undergraduate and graduate students as university faculty. I was also an associate director of the Department of Pharmacy at a 1000-bed private hospital in Japan for seven years, in charge of professional (pharmacists) and interprofessional (medical residents, nurses in medication use) learning. I also set up a residency program and provided bedside teaching. These valuable experiences helped me to grow in my career as a healthcare professional and teacher. I am also Board Certified in Pharmacotherapy (BCPS) and Geriatric Pharmacy (BCGP). After I moved back to New York City in 2019, I have been practicing as a pharmacist in an independent pharmacy and working as a Chinese interpreter for the City government. I hope I can share what I know in medicine/pharmacy and languages with interested people.

I am currently a middle school special education teacher. I am a native Spanish speaker and I am able to speak, read, and write in both English and Spanish. I am passionate about teaching and I enjoy differentiating instruction in order for my students to truly understand a topic they may find difficult. I graduated in 2012 with a BA in Psychology and I am currently attaining my masters in Urban Adolescent Education.

I received my Bachelor's degree in Biology at Long Island University- Brooklyn Campus in Brooklyn, NY. I am currently working on my BSN at Remington College School of Nursing in Orlando, FL in hopes of becoming a nurse midwife someday. I tutor a broad range of subjects: math, science, and english. But my preferred subject is math. I like the challenge that it brings me; It allows me to "think outside the box" and I love playing with numbers. Tutoring is something that I truly enjoy doing because I strongly believe that education is the key to major success and being able to help someone achieve is what makes it even more entertaining. In my previous experiences as a tutor, my main focus was to make sure that my student felt great about learning and understanding what I was trying to help them with. I want my students to be able to have fun while they learn because it makes everything clearer and the material then becomes simpler. When I am tutoring a student, no matter the age group, I try to teach and explain the material in a way that I would've wanted it done if I was in the student's shoe. I relate it to their daily lives and activities, in my opinion that helps the student understand better. In my spare time, I enjoy watching movies, traveling, and reading. I have a love for dolls, therefore, I try to collect barbies and porcelain dolls.

I am a licensed educator with over ten years of experience working with children of all ages. As an educator, I believe that when given the right tools any student can succeed. I have worked with students of all ages and abilities. I love to see students come alive when the magic that is already inside of them is unlocked. I like to think I teach with my heart then my head. I like to build relationships with, and get to know students in order to ensure I am working to teach the whole child! I currently hold a teaching certification in grades 1- 6 general education as well as special education. I tutor in elementary and middle school teaching reading, writing and math. But, I must say math and reading are my favorite subjects to teach. I love how reading can take you to new places and give you new experiences each time you open a book. Although Math can be tricky, gaining a basic understanding can change your whole outlook.

I'm currently a senior in college at Long Island University Brooklyn studying for my BBA in Finance I've been tutoring since I was 12 years old and have worked with major tutoring companies such as KUMON and Mathnasium.

I received my Masters Degree in Special Education from Long Island University in Brooklyn, NY. I was a classroom teacher for 13 years, I am a certified Special Education Teacher. I believe that all children can learn, each child learns in his or her own way. I will keep trying to find the technique that works best for each of my student's so that they can go forward toward reaching their educational goals.

I personally believe that all students can learn something new everyday. You must seek and you shall find the information you are looking for sometimes the answers are right before our very own eyes and we just need to learn how to look for them. This I can show you. The "How"...

I graduated from LIU Brooklyn and received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I am currently working in Cardiac Telemetry. I tutor for ALL subjects related to nursing, TEAS and NCLEX and I also do tutoring for A+P. I can help you with test anxiety, study organization tips, memorization tips, and overall study skills. I suffered from test anxiety myself so I completely understand what that feels like and I could definitely relate to you.During nursing school, I tutored many students in pharmacology, pathophysiology, med surg, pediatrics, maternity, anatomy and physiology. I developed great memorization tips and tricks to help students remember information AND understand the high yield topics that show up on the NCLEX.It is important to understand the method of answering NCLEX style questions and nursing school exam questions. Understanding how to prioritize patients and how to keep your patient safe is key. I can help you make sure the content sticks to your mind AND I can help you think critically. Thinking critically is the way to pass the NCLEX and I *guarantee* that I can help you do that. I am also freshly graduated so the content of NCLEX and nursing school exams is very fresh in my head which makes it easier for me to help you pass your exams!Based on your learning style, I can help provide you with study materials, study guides and some of my study tools to help you pass your exams.

I am a firm believer that all students can learn and that the key lies in finding the correct motivation.

I attended NYU for my undergraduate studies and I am currently finishing up my graduate studies at LIU Brooklyn. It is my belief that education is the key to improving our communities. As educators it is not our job to give our students the answer, rather it is our duty to teach them how to be critical and independent thinkers. I am currently a high school Special Education English teacher. I became a teacher because I believe in the potential of all learners and understand that not all learning happens the same way. I am a passionate and dedicated person who constantly strives to better myself and my practice.

I strongly believe that the best way to teach a student is to adapt to their needs and that in order to best teach you have to not just work with them but also try to connect with them. I have been working in an instructor-type position since the end of 2017 but have prior experience tutoring classmates in mathematics. I've worked as a teaching assistant for the Center for Gifted Youth out of LIU Post for 4 years as well as a tutor for LIU Post in both French and Mathematics. I now hold a position as a Substitute Teacher for the NYC Department of Education and have worked with students ranging from Pre-K to 8th grade. I also privately tutor students of all ages ranging from elementary grade levels to high school. I earned my B.S. in Mathematics from LIU Post where I was able to work closely with professors to create a program that best fit my needs, for example, adjusting my classes to challenge myself. My favorite subject to tutor is Mathematics because I see math as a language that is very straightforward, although I understand that not everyone feels the same, and I strive to help others at the very least feel comfortable understanding the material.

I have completed all the Undergraduate with Biology and Chemistry major and Master’s degree in Chemistry from Tribhuvan University, Nepal. Recently, I have completed second Master’s degree in Chemistry with research on organic chemistry from Long Island University, Brooklyn, New York. After completing my Master’s degree in Nepal, I taught chemistry about 7 years for high school and undergrad students. My first academic teaching experience began to support myself financially while studying Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in chemistry when I was in Nepal. Similarly, I taught general chemistry and organic chemistry to undergrad students at Long Island University where I was awarded a “Teaching Assistantship” for two years. Besides chemistry, I like to teach other sciences like basic biology, physics and even mathematics. My friendly nature and zeal towards helping my classmates and other tutoring activities through my academic career has slowly developed the “teacher” in me. Hence, I have chosen teaching as a profession because “Teaching” ranks amongst the nation’s top five prestigious professions where one is involved in shaping the future of an individual, a society and ultimately country.Understanding how students learn is one of the significant aspects of teaching. This is linked to their “knowledge” background and maturity. My main goal is to encourage independent thinking and analytical reasoning to augment students’ problem solving skills, thus encouraging them to not just memorize. I apt them to question at every stage: “Why? How?” and satisfy their curiosity, instead of assuming the instructor is always right. My favorite approach is: “If you don’t have any question, I have some for you”.

I am a retired teacher who has a love for working with students. I consider my ability to be able to take complicated information and make it user friendly.

As a student who has struggled with many subjects herself, I understand what its like to struggle academically and what it takes to overcome those struggles. The greatest way I was able to overcome my struggles was by having a great teacher. Hence it became my personal mission to help other students the way I received help by imparting all the knowledge I obtained from my teachers on to other students.

I received my MS and PhD in Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology (CMPP) at University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) in Rochester, NY. My interest in both pharmacology and drug discovery led to my endeavor of achieving novel cell signaling pathways that can steer the wheel of developing therapeutical means for cancerous diseases.For in-person sessions: I am vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19.

Hello, My name is Brian Cross, and I have been a high school Social Studies teacher for past eight years. My only mission here is to provide services that will allow you all to successfully pass the Regents exam.

Although born in the United States, I grew up in Central Asia and then Germany, and from an early age developed a love of connecting with people. I am passionate about teaching because at its core, teaching is about connecting with the person across from you so that you can tackle their goals and challenges together. I also love to learn and am deeply passionate about empowering those instincts in other people.My formal education started at the University of Michigan, where I studied Movement Science, followed by my Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Long Island University in New York. A large portion of my job as a physical therapist includes teaching people about their bodies. I am also a board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist, because anatomy and physiology are my jam!If I'm not teaching people about physical therapy or how their bodies work, you can find me in the gym or training my German Shepherd rescue, Dax.

I am a graduate of Long island University New York City. My major was in computer science and I instantly deviated from that and went into human resources and payroll. Now my focus is on teaching in particular chess, English as a second language, Spanish, public speaking and drama. My favorite of all of these is to teach chess especially to children. Something about developing young minds to become strategic something about teaching young minds about consequences and thinking before they move really fulfills me. I recently got my TEFL l certification which stands for teaching English as a foreign language. When I am not tutoring or teaching any above subjects I enjoy acting, stand up comedy, playing chess and spending time with my family. There is nothing that is more gratifying to me than teaching, and tutoring it is indeed my passion.

Hi! My name is Justine. I am a fourth year medical student getting ready to enter general surgery residency at NYU Brooklyn. I know how difficult medical school is and what it takes to make the grades. After years of my own academic pursuits, I have developed a passion for helping others, both in and outside of the classroom. Studying medicine takes a different set of skills which I have developed, perfected and more than willing to teach others. With over 30 residency interviews and ranked #2 in my graduating class, my learning technique has proved successful. I am an avid learner and can adapt my teaching style to any student willing to put in the time and effort. I look forward to working with you!
