I am studying Chemical Biology in UC Berkeley. One of my passions is Organic Chemistry, which I used to loath but now enjoys after taking a year of it. Also, because I like helping others, I enjoys tutoring/teaching students who are struggling. During high school, I have tutored other high students after school on various subjects such as Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Latin. During college, I have held informal review sessions for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry for my underclassmen. I tutored my roommate and one of my underclassmen in Organic Chemistry. Finally, with a Graduate Student TA, I co-taught a Organic Chemistry Lab class section , where I answer questions regarding lab material and demonstrate lab techniques. Currently, I am interested in tutoring Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, and CalculusThere are three things I love about tutoring. First, tutoring allows me to solidify my mastery on the material I teach, as I believe one can learn more by explaining concepts to other people. This leads to the second thing l love, which is that tutoring helps me to practice my ability to explain concepts in a concise, easy-to-understand manner without leaving behind important details. Finally, I enjoy tutoring because the experience of helping others itself is fulfilling to me.

Hi! I'm a recent graduate with a BS in chemistry and currently a PhD student in materials science. While I've always been fascinated with math and chemistry, they didn't come easy for me. I've had great teachers and tutors who helped me build a solid foundation in the physical sciences and inspire me to pay that forward.I will do everything I can to make our lessons rewarding and to help you reach your goals. In our lessons, I will help you identify key concepts in new material, bridge the new topics with your current knowledge, and share interesting applications for the math and science we cover.I have experience with college and graduate-level chemistry courses and am also happy to tutor for ACT, SAT, and GRE test prep.

I pride myself on getting to know my students on an individual level and catering my approach to meet a variety of specific needs. I graduated from UC Berkeley, where I studied Sociology and Spanish and spent a majority of my time outside of the classroom working with middle school students. After graduating I ran an after school program that provided career mentorship opportunities for 7th graders. There, I tutored my students in Common Core subjects. I understand that middle school students are well on their way to becoming independent adults, and I'm passionate about developing creative strategies to fit that unique period of development. Aside from this, I love writing and editing others' written works. In High School I was the Managing Editor of my school newspaper, and I worked at a variety of publications including the Cal Alumni Magazine and a Cuban Travel blog throughout college. Today, I edit on a freelance basis and specialize in everything from business memos to expository blog pieces. My journalism experience honed my skills in crafting concise messaging that conveys deep meaning. Outside of working with students, I love to create large works of art, listen to podcasts while walking around my city, and cook meals with friends!

My goal as a teacher is to create an educational environment that encourages both instructor and students to learn and to grow as learners through authentic experience, collaboration with one another, and active engagement with material. I believe that the role of a teacher is not to merely tell content to a student, but rather to act as navigator while the student propels him or herself forward into the uncharted terrain of a new subject. My teaching style focuses on helping students take ownership of their learning so that they continue to succeed long after working with me.I received both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of California, Berkeley in Religious Studies and Folklore respectively. I wrote my Masters Thesis on the Culture and Music of American Jewish summer camp, and am currently in the process of turning my thesis into a book. Over the last several years, in addition to earning my Masters Degree, I have also taught in a variety of capacities ranging from rock 'n' roll school to children's music to leading discussion sections for Berkeley undergraduates as a Graduate Student Instructor.While I teach a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about helping students edit their own writing and develop their literary voice. Although knowledge of math, science, and history are vital, expressing oneself in writing is perhaps the most difficult yet critically important skill for succeeding in our society. As one who has struggled with writing in the past but now feels ownership over his voice, I find helping others develop their writing and editing techniques to be incredibly rewarding.When I am not teaching or writing, I enjoy playing guitar and singing with other people, playing and watching basketball, watching football, and hiking in nature.

I am a Senior at UC Berkeley, expecting to graduate next spring with a degree in Engineering Physics. Since I began tutoring, it has always been my philosophy to make sure the student understands a subject by breaking down concepts in the easiest way. My passion for the sciences drives me to not only teach what is on paper, but offer deeper insights to the material. I also love to laugh, and because of that, I try to make sessions light hearted, and less intimidating. Furthermore, as a problem solver, I will stop at nothing to ensure a student succeeds and fully understands a subject.

I graduated with a degree in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley. My interests include hiking, cooking, crafting and learning.I have experience tutoring students in math and science. I focus on breaking down complex concepts into smaller steps so that the material is easier to grasp. Everyone has a unique learning style and I cater each tutoring session to the student's needs.I am a very patient person and will make sure the student is able to attain his or her goals!

I am an energetic, effective, and experienced teacher. After completing my B.A. in English with Philosophy Minor from UC Berkeley, I lived in Rome, Italy for two years where I taught English as a Second Language. During this time, I discovered that I had a passion and a gift for teaching.I completed my PhD in Comparative Literature with an emphasis on Latin American Studies from UC Los Angeles in 2009. While at UCLA I taught courses in Comparative Literature (Great Books), Writing Composition, and Spanish. From 2010-2014, I was Visiting Assistant Professor of Spanish at Whitman College. I am currently Visiting Assistant Professor of Humanities at Lewis and Clark College where I teach courses in the Core curriculum and Spanish. My objective is to connect with students and stimulate intellectual curiosity, which I believe is the key to learning.

I earned my MFA in creative writing from Portland State University and my BA in English from the University of California, Berkeley. These days I teach writing and publishing at Portland State University and Portland Community College, and I have taught creative, academic, and professional writing, including college application essays and publisher query letters. When I am not teaching, I write fiction (my debut book, From the Caves, won several national awards) and my shorter works have appeared in Poets & Writers, Longreads, The Kenyon Review, CRAFT Literary Magazine, New Orleans Review, and elsewhere.

I am committed to giving students the best skill set they can possibly attain. I derive satisfaction from mentoring young adults and love to see it when my students "get it." My goal is to instill in my clients a love for tough subjects and set them on a path of academic success.I have experience in the California public school system as a long-term 10th grade English substitute teacher, and have taught middle school and high school level history in this capacity. Having passed multiple A.P. exams and attained a bachelor's degree in history from the University of California at Berkeley, I wish to engage the prospective college student with learning methodologies that aided me along the way. Some examples would be:1. Crafting cohesive and structured essays, with emphasis on paragraph cohesion, thesis statements, and word choice.2. Analyzing historical contexts and themes, so that the student will grasp the "big picture" while also answering specific questions pertaining to names, dates and important moments along the timeline.Currently, I publish original research for the Terrorism Research and Analysis Consortium, (TRAC) hold a M.A. in Nonproliferation and Terrorism Studies from the Monterey Institute of International Studies.I look forward to helping students succeed at school as a Varsity Tutor!

I am currently a 2nd Year Master of International Affairs Candidate at the Columbia School of International and Public Affairs. I enjoy teaching subjects such as French, English, Writing, and Math.

As a teacher, my mission has always been to make scientific knowledge accessible to ALL students, and help them see why it's worth the effort to pursue. I've been a high school physics teacher for the past 15 years, and also a strong advocate for equity in science education. I received my undergraduate degree in Physics from Amherst College, and later a masters degree in Science and Math Education from UC Berkeley. While I've always had an interest in science, I've come to see myself as someone who teaches *people* rather than *science*. That is, I really enjoy helping students become more confident & independent learners, critical thinkers, and problem solvers. I feel honored to be a part of any students' growth. :)

Hello All,I am a San Francisco Bay Area native recently transplanted to the White Plains area to study the Biomedical Sciences!

Hello! My name is Aaron -- UC Berkeley alumni currently working as a documentation specialist at an engineering firm. Throughout my education, I've realized that the classes I enjoyed the most weren't necessarily because of the subject matter, rather it was the professors and teachers who taught these classes. They made difficult concepts engaging and manageable for me. I hope that as a tutor I can channel that same energy and facilitate a learning experience that is engaging and manageable for you. I have a 6 years of experience tutoring and teaching in both a formal and informal setting. Throughout my undergraduate, I've taught and tutored a variety of subjects to high school all the way to grad school level students. Specifically, I have facilitated review sessions for college level chemistry and biology courses and held weekly seminars to help students edit and write about a variety of topics from biology to philosophy. My background is in biology and philosophy, so I am rather flexible in what I can teach. If you can put in the work, I can certainly help you improve and even achieve A-level work.

I am a graduate of the University of California - Berkeley where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Data Science. Throughout college, I have volunteered with numerous education equity organizations dedicated to helping children from challenging socioeconomic backgrounds thrive in school; taught Reading to students K-8, taught for a summer enrichment program , and worked as a group tutor for data science at university. Whether it is working with younger students build their foundations or helping older students advance in core subjects, I have a passion for education and making learning as fun and accessible as possible! Outside of tutoring, I work as an economic researcher in the public sector and volunteer at environmental oriented non-profits.

My philosophy as a tutor is that learning only occurs if interest can be cultivated. My goal is to help students find their passion for scholarship as I found mine; through discovery.

I am a life-long proponent of education and learning. I graduated from Princeton University with a B.A. in philosophy. After working for a few years, including in book publishing, I returned to school and completed my M.A. in history at the University of California, Berkeley. While there, I taught history and philosophy classes to undergraduates. I also taught Standardized Test Prep (SAT and GRE) for Summit Tutors and Kaplan.I took a break from school and moved to Europe (Germany). I loved it so much that I decided to continue my education on that side of the Atlantic.In fact, I completed my PhD in history from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland in 2015. As you can see, I practice what I preach about education :)While I tutor a number of subjects, I am most passionate about helping students learn how to improve their reading (Literature) and writing (English), as well as their historical knowledge (History). I also have a good track record helping students dramatically improve their SAT scores and their college application essays.In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, cooking (a new hobby), going to movies, and seeing live music. I love watching the World Cup and Euro soccer tournaments as well.

Hello. I'm Jerome and I hope I can help in your academic journey. As someone who's received tutoring before, I hope I can help students, not only learn the subject matter, but the study and thinking skills to succeed academically. By learning the skills, you can gain the confidence to pursue other endeavors. Don't give up. Ask for help. We'll succeed together.

I've spent the last 15 years tutoring kids in various subjects. Some of my favorite subjects to teach are math, writing, reading, psychology and sociology. I believe that learning should be fun and presented in a way that's not only relevant to the student, but also in a way that makes them think for themselves.I look forward to making learning fun for all students who come my way!

I was a high school teacher for two years before returning to graduate school to study American Politics at NYU. I love supporting and engaging students in content, and giving them the skills they need to feel competent, powerful, and insightful.

I am about to complete a M.A. in Physics at UC Berkeley, after receiving my B.S. from MIT with a double major in literature and particle physics. I love to learn, but I also love to teach, and have been serving as a tutor or teacher in some capacity since high school. I'm a veteran of the AP system and of the SAT, and a more recent veteran of the GRE, so I know what's tough about these tests and how to conquer them. My tutoring philosophy is centered around teaching the core concepts of a subject, so students have a good sense of where strategies come from and how to apply them. Ultimately I think most math, science and humanities is extremely interesting if you can build confidence and fundamental understanding, and I hope to share my enthusiasm with my students!

I Tutor Elementary School students at a place called Making a Difference for Inc. I've tutored for the past seven months and I am ecstatic with the academic progress made by my students. All of my students were struggling with D averages in math, reading and writing. However, that has all changed and they are all thriving with B's and A's. I am pleased to announce that I've successfully published my book of poetry "Angst in Prose" alluded to in my personal statement. My book is self-published and I have global marketing through major retailers.

Hello! I am a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley with a Bachelors degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology. During my four years of college, I guided K-12 students of the Oakland area in Language Arts and Mathematics and served as a mentor for many high school students. I have also been an undergraduate student instructor for the General Biology lab course offered at U.C. Berkeley, a prerequisite for students wishing to pursue Biology as a major. Since I have a wide range of teaching experiences in both academic subjects and test preparation, I am highly adaptable to different learning styles and cater my teaching methods to meet student needs. Apart from being flexible, I am also very accessible for additional questions or help that is needed. In my spare time, I enjoy baking, exploring my city and watching movies.

I am a University of California, Berkeley graduate with over 7 years of tutoring experience in English and Math (through Algebra) for students in grades KG through college.Professionally, I have recently worked for the California Department of Public Health as part of the Affordable Care Act ('Obamacare'), and an international Oil & Gas company, for which I was posted in Jakarta, Indonesia.I am passionate about helping students increase their proficiency and confidence in subjects in which they previously struggled.I am excited to meet you, and help you increase your academic proficiency! Let's learn while having fun! :)

I am a proud graduate of three top universities: Yale, Stanford, and UC Berkeley. My degrees include a Masters in Teaching from the Stanford University Teacher Education Program. I am a credentialed and experienced teacher in English Language Arts, and US and World History. I have taught at both the middle and high school level in schools that served students from low-income and immigrant backgrounds, many of whom were English Language Learners. At the Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley, I had fun developing literacy-focused, project-based, middle school science curriculum in Life, Physical and Earth Sciences. I particularly loved being a volunteer tutor to high school students from East Oakland, CA. I worked with them to become college ready by developing study skills and preparing rigorously to take standardized tests. In addition to tutoring them, I mentored them to develop small business projects and seek funding from entrepreneurs in the California Bay Area. I have a particular passion and knack for helping students write college admissions essays.I am a caring teacher and tutor who is dedicated to instilling a love of learning while ensuring youth make major academic advancements and have strong study skills.I have traveled extensively and volunteered with reforestation programs in Guatemala. In my spare time, I love hiking, playing the ukulele, and reading with my cat Lola on my lap.

Almost seven years ago, in the highly diverse, academically rich environment of the San Francisco Bay Area, I began my professional tutoring career with one of the national names in test prep. With them I learned the value of working one on one with students to identify how best they learn and help them master their own learning style. I went on to work for another, more individualized company as a lead academic tutor in test prep and multiple subjects. I was recruited by an online tutoring firm to write and perform their ACT prep video series. I currently assist students in Liberal Arts Studies through the Writing Center at the Juilliard School, and I continue to teach lessons in music. My enthusiasm for working with students continues to grow as I meet more capable, intelligent young people who often just need insight into how to tackle the mass of material they receive in the classroom. My background is as a classically trained singer, and I know first-hand the value of seeking the best help to improve one’s skills. I moved to New York City to continue my own development as a performer at the highest level, and I appreciate the will to aspire that this city instills. I enjoy clearly communicating complex ideas to students and, not just delivering content, continually checking in for actual understanding and growth. With so much experience in test prep, I know the importance of helping students feel empowered to replicate the confidence gained in a tutoring session in the classroom and on test day.

I am a graduate of Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. I received a Bachelor of Science in Applied and Computational Mathematics, along with a minor in Physics. In the near future, I will be attending the University of California, Berkeley to obtain a Masters degree in Financial Engineering. Throughout my years as an undergraduate, I tutored many students in all subjects of mathematics. I am most passionate and experienced in Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Trigonometry. I have also helped colleagues practice for the GRE Quantitative section. I believe that the most efficient way to learn mathematics is simply to do mathematics. Practicing problems, along with understanding their solution process, is the best way to learn any subject of mathematics. This studying process will ensure that one not only knows how to approach every problem, but understand it as well. In my spare time, I enjoy playing soccer, playing video games, and jogging with my dog.

My mission: to make learning the material as easy, quick, and interesting as possible.My approach: connecting class theory to real-world examples and applications.My experience: 13 years of tutoring in math and sciences, writing, SAT prep, Spanish, economics, environmental sciences, and more.Several years of laboratory research with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. I like training future scientists!My passion: inspiring curiosity and confidence in my students.My background: biology laboratory research involving plants, bacteria, and genetics.My degrees: Bachelors in Molecular Biology (UC Berkeley), Bachelors in Economics (UC Berkeley), Masters in Microbiology (North Carolina State University)My goal: for you to surpass me in the subject we explore together.

I graduated with honors from UC Berkeley's English program. While in college, I worked as a tutor, designing lesson plans and teaching accelerated classes for elementary to high schoolers within a day-time tutoring program. This included standardized test prep as well. My biggest priority as a tutor is helping you find the confidence and belief in your own ability. This, I've found, has the biggest impact on a student's performance.

I am a PhD Candidate in History at the University of California, Berkeley but am currently living in New York while finishing my dissertation on the British Empire in India in the late 18th Century. I am originally from New York City and attended a very academically oriented private school, so I have first-hand experience with the stresses and concerns many students face, regardless of the school they attend. I benefited from private tuition myself and would like to consider my story a successful one, therefore I hope to carry on the benefits of tutoring to my own students.I have 7 years experience private tutoring a diverse range of subjects in New York and London, and 6 years experience as a teaching assistant of History and Italian at the University level. I've worked with a range of students from high-achieving undergraduates to students at pressure-cooker college preparatory schools to children with high-functioning Autism. My specialty subjects are History, English, Latin, essay-writing, exam preparation, and I have extensive experience preparing students for exam prep (PSAT, SAT, ACT, GRE to name a few) and university applications in the USA and the UK. I chose to go to graduate school and continue working in the field of education because I am passionate about both learning and teaching whether this takes place at home, in a classroom, or at an international conference.

I am a book author and cultural anthropologist with college classroom teaching experience in the social sciences. I have helped academics and college and graduate students with essays, theses and papers with a focus on bringing out their strongest ideas and making their writing accessible and clear to the reader. I have experience working with people whose first language is not English and recently helped turn papers that had been rejected for publication into articles published in the best journals in their field.I enjoy empowering students to do their best work by breaking down the work of writing into achievable steps. It's exciting to help them discover and bring to light the ideas that are often buried in their notes and thoughts.

I attended the University of California, Berkeley and graduated with Honors in 2013. My BA is in Theater and Performance Studies, though I also loved my classes on Art History and Politics. I’m originally from San Jose, CA, and I began tutoring at my high school. I coached students on Public Speaking and helped struggling writers with their SAT essays. During this time, I found a deep satisfaction in mentoring students through difficult stretches of their academic lives. Some of my students in high school became life-long friends, and I have never forgotten the importance of being a supportive influence in a time of need. Though taking practice tests can be a real slog, I bring a fun and supportive atmosphere to my tutoring sessions. I want my students to remember that the real purpose of studying is to learn and to grow; if we can find a way to accomplish those goals, better test scores will follow naturally.Since graduating, I have moved to New York to pursue my dreams of being an actor. My particular specialty is in Shakespeare, and I hope to spread my love of his poetry to many others, whether through teaching or performance. In my free time, I am an avid skateboarder, guitar player, and I love to read!

I am a graduate of UC Berkeley where I majored in Molecular and Cell Biology, with an emphasis in Biochemistry. I am currently a graduate student at the Boston University School of Medicine, studying Biomedical Forensic Sciences. I love working with both younger and more experienced students in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and forensics. I am passionate about helping others achieve their fullest potential, and can cater to various learning styles!

As a systems engineer and data scientist, I mentor and collaborate with other professionals to solve hard problems. In learning, there is no problem that we cannot master with patience and persistence.

You may be new to tutoring, but I have been teaching and tutoring college and high school students for several years and would love to work with you on topics such as politics, government, American history, legal studies, critical thinking skills, and writing academic papers and personal statements. I have also tutored students learning English as a second language. We can work out a way to learn that is comfortable for you. Learn new ways of thinking, improve your analytic abilities and master new and current academic subjects.

Educator. Sponge. Poet.As an educator, I've learned how to absorb both memories from the places I've traveled along with the skills gained from opportunities I've had and turn them into moments of mentorship and learning for other folks who are on the path toward achieving their goals.Highlights:--Working towards my Masters in Clinical Psych at Teacher's College, Columbia Univ.--Lived in China for 4 years and traveled throughout Asia learning languages + cultural customs--Taught Writing, Film, and Linguistics Courses at a top university in China--Worked at educational consulting companies as an admissions counselor/writing coach

I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a Bachelor's Degree in History. Since then, I've worked in the non-profit sector as a teacher for children and adults for the last three years.While I tutor a variety of subjects, I particularly enjoy teaching History, Writing, and Literature. History is especially fun to teach as there is often a perception that it's a boring or tedious subject. I really try to break out of that stereotype and make the subject more relevant and interesting for my students. Ultimately, I really like to take the time to get to know my students and work together to help them achieve their goals.In my free time I really love playing volleyball, going to the beach, watching movies, and traveling the world.

I am an empathetic, patient, results-oriented tutor with 10 years of experience working with all age groups. As a UC Berkeley grad, I have taught in NYC public schools, and have led private tutoring sessions in various subjects. I am always available to answer any questions the student may have post-sessions.I come from a long line of educators (two grandparents and both my parents!). From them I have learned the importance of building the student up, to always instill confidence in his or her own abilities through guidance and one-on-one practice. This is my philosophy as a tutor and I'm proud to say that it has proven to be successful time and again. I'm looking forward to meeting you and achieving solid results together!

I studied computer science and statistics in college. Since late high school I have had a regular teaching commitment, whether it was helping younger students prepare for standardized tests or TA'ing for college courses. I can tutor very effectively across a variety of math, computer science, and statistics subjects, but am most passionate and have the most 1-on-1 experience in probability and statistics and test prep. I believe that anyone with a good amount of motivation can learn what they desire to a high level with the correct help, and I find the experience of providing that help very rewarding and actively seek opportunities to do so.

I graduated with a BA from UC Berkeley in 2020 as a double major in Astrophysics and Classical Civilizations. My main areas of interest in those studies were planetary science and Greek-language literature, respectively. I'm passionate about both STEM subjects and the humanities, and love helping students translate their strengths in one area to another.I tutor in a broad range of subjects, but would especially love to help you learn more about Latin, English, and astronomy, because those were my favorite subjects in school. I'd also love to help you with prepping for any section of the ACT or SAT, because I remember how stressful those tests were, and want to help you feel as confident and calm as you can while you get ready for them.
