2+ Years Tutoring

I have been passionate about tutoring since high school, where I began by helping younger students excel in math and science. My love for teaching grew through my involvement with programs like Hatch Tutors in college, where I worked one-on-one with an underprivileged kindergartener to improve their English skills. As a science camp counselor, I had the opportunity to teach children aged 3-12, making complex scientific concepts fun and accessible. Currently pursuing a degree in Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton, I have a strong foundation in math, physics, and chemistry. I enjoy tutoring these subjects, particularly physics and chemistry, as I love sharing my enthusiasm for science. I believe that every student has a unique learning style, and my approach focuses on getting to know my students so I can tailor lessons to their individual needs and interests. I strive to make tutoring sessions engaging and relevant by connecting academic content to real-life examples. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running and reading, which help me stay balanced and energized. I look forward to helping students succeed by providing personalized and passionate support in their academic journeys.

I have been tutoring since 2006, when I joined a program tutoring with a local middle school. Since then, I have worked with high school and college students in a broad variety of subjects. Although I am passionate about all of the subjects that I teach, I have always been especially interested in Biology, and I love working with students to see the big picture connections between the facts of life. In general, my tutoring style focuses on drawing generalizable principles out of the material to help a student internalize and fully absorb content, which I believe makes learning a rewarding activity in its own right. In my spare time, I enjoy reading science books and blogs, trying out new recipes, and exploring the many museums throughout the city.

Current Undergrad, Physics Princeton University

I started tutoring because I love math and I believe that everyone can learn to feel the same. Mathematics is ubiquitous in our world and contains profound truths that every human being should be able to understand and appreciate. Students who "hate" math seldom truly do; often only a past bad experience has ruined the subject for them. From there, I branched out to the sciences and things only became more fun.In all my tutoring, I strive to emphasize the underlying beauty of the subject. I find that enthusiasm is infectious and is the best answer to precipitously dropping grades. I believe that building confidence and deep conceptual understanding, as well as fostering a rich and mentor-like relationship between tutor and student, is the most enjoyable and most rewarding way to teach; in fact I would like to pursue a career as a professor of physics!

Stephen
BA Princeton University
1+ Years Tutoring

In my experience, the best teachers help their students understand the principles behind the material and work from there. Any subject, from Latin to history to math, can be a grueling exercise in rote memorization, but that's not fun for anybody, so that's not how I teach. I try to de-mystify the subject from the outset, starting with acknowledging and building on what students already know - usually more than they think. I've studied a lot of languages (Spanish, Latin, French, Turkish, Attic Greek, Ancient Hebrew, and, of course, English) and I've learned that a lot of the principles of communication are universal. If you're reading this, you already know one language, so you've made the first step toward learning another! I'd love to help you go further. If it's English that's giving you trouble, I'd also be happy to be of assistance. I wrote over 150 pages of independent research in college and was an editor for multiple publications. Helping people improve their writing and make stronger arguments is something I really love.

I am very focused on growth and self improvement and I thrive helping other people achieve their own goals and reach new heights.When I was 19, I decided I wanted to serve my county by becoming an Officer in the Navy, and ideally a Navy Seal. I realized that to serve anyone or anything to your best capacity, it requires that you have a vision for WHO you want to be and the belief in yourself that you can get there though consistent hard work. Whatever your goal is, there IS a way to get there. That is why I am a tutor, because it is amazing to help and encourage other people as they complete their own journeys of goal setting, challenging themselves, growing, achieving their goals, and then setting even higher ones. My own academic experience has taught me that often the difference between a fulfilling, exciting experience and a difficult, draining one, is how invested the teacher is; in my best classes, the professors have walked with me every step of the way, and I have achieved much more because of that. By walking with my own pupils, I leverage my knowledge and understanding to help them learn not only the things they need to succeed in one class, but the self-confidence to succeed in future endeavors in all areas of life.

I am a graduate of Princeton University, class of 2014. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with a focus on recent American economic history. I was a pre-med, molecular biology major for my first two years at Princeton, and while I ended up deciding not to pursue a career in the sciences, I took many science classes in high school (AP) and in college, and still enjoy these subjects. Since graduating from Princeton, I have moved to Manhattan where I have started a job as an analyst at a private equity firm. I tutored professionally in Princeton for three years, and am excited to continue working with students as a Varsity Tutors tutor. I have experience tutoring elementary school math, Algebra, Algebra II/Pre-calc, English literature, writing (esp. essay editing), Biology (including AP), Chemistry (including accelerated and AP), SAT, and French (through French III). My own educational experience has had a formative impact on my style as a tutor. I attended a Montessori school from pre-school through 8th grade, and was heavily influenced by the focus on independent learning, discovery, and exploration as a way to develop a more thorough and better understanding of academic subjects. I am passionate about making sure that students enjoy what they are learning, and I try to individualize tutor sessions to match the specific needs of each student. Both my parents are teachers (one a violin teacher and another a professor), which has also influenced my ability and desire to help students learn.Beyond school, I studied the violin for 16 years, the piano five years, and sang in choir for six years. I also spent many years in elementary and middle school as a figure skater. In high school, I played tennis and lacrosse. I grew up in Minneapolis, MN, where I lived up until attending Princeton. In my free time now, I love running, vinyasa yoga, cooking, and finding great new food in Manhattan.

Breaking down a problem, and making "problem maps" for complex problems gives students a solid foothold to start and follow through a problem. Working examples using these maps during tutoring sessions is a good way to identify weaknesses.My end goal is to show students that with comfort in a subject comes interest.

BA Princeton University
10+ Years Tutoring

I graduated from college in May 2011 with a degree in astrophysics. I will be tutoring students in math, physics, and ACT/SAT prep.I want to tutor because, as a math and science student, I get a real thrill out of understanding new concepts, and I want my students to experience that joy for themselves. Moreover, when I teach students a certain concept, to some extent I am reliving the process of learning that concept myself, both by explaining the concept in new ways and by seeing students wrestle with and eventually grasp the concept for themselves. For me, teaching is a way of "living vicariously" through students by experiencing the joy of learning once more.As a tutor, I teach every concept that a student is struggling to learn very thoroughly. I give a lot of examples. I break problems down into carefully thought-out steps. Because I studied physics and math myself, I can anticipate certain roadblocks a student may encounter and will be able to steer a student in the right direction should he or she initially misinterpret a certain principle. Having tutored high school students in math and science for a number of years, I know how to help students get past what can initially appear to be daunting conceptual barriers.Last, but not least, I know what it's like to struggle. I am not a math and science genius who breezed through college to get his astrophysics degree. I had to work very hard for my grades, especially during my freshman year. I can empathize with students who strain to get through their courses and am better equipped to help them because of my struggle.I am honored that I have been given the opportunity to work with Varsity Tutors, and I look forward to meeting and working with new students as they begin another school year.

Hello! I'm Germaine and I am passionate about supporting and empowering students to achieve their academic goals. Over the last five years, I've had the opportunity to help hundreds of students succeed on various standardized tests, research papers, course finals and more across a range of disciplines. Two years ago, I transitioned entirely to ACT, SAT, and LSAT prep where I began focusing on tutoring students in a 1-on-1 setting, and it was here that I discovered my enthusiasm for helping students navigate the nuanced layers of these exams. My love for tutoring comes from the fun of simplifying complex concepts into smaller, more easily accessible units. By cutting down large problems into their constituent parts, any student can become a faster and more efficient problem solver - it's amazing what one can accomplish by employing these effective techniques! My goal as a tutor is to effectively impart these formulas to my students and equip them with the knowledge and confidence to approach any academic challenge that comes their way. After receiving my Bachelors in Philosophy from Princeton University, I moved to the Boston area where my true passion remains teaching and tutoring. Much of my time is spent working with my students, volunteering as a math tutor for disadvantaged schools, and exploring new methods and practices for improving my teaching skill. Experience teaching a variety of subjects and ages has also imbued me with a knack for creativity in coming up with individual lesson plans tailored to fit each unique student. Depending on their particular needs, background, and learning style, I come up with creative solutions to make the material relevant and engaging. Whether through analogies, drawn explanations, or useful anecdotes, I strive to create material that inspires a passion for the subject matter in each student.

I can tutor students in biology (biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, physiology, microbiology, botany, zoology, population biology, and ecology); in various mathematical subjects, such as pre-algebra, algebra 1 (e.g., linear equations), geometry, algebra 2 (e.g., quadratic equations), and pre-calculus; and in religion and philosophy. I believe tutoring goes beyond merely helping with homework, or reviewing material from class. Tutoring should help the student become a critical thinker, one who is able to learn independently and think independently. I believe it's important to aid the student in discovering how the subject is relevant to everyday life. As a tutor, my aim is to create new and effective ways of inspiring students to view learning as an exciting adventure.
