Hi! I'm Veena and I recently graduated from the University of Miami with a B.S. in Microbiology and Immunology with Chemistry and English Literature as my minors. I've tutored at a Math and Reading learning center in high school and became an employee of the Academic Resource Center at UM where I tutored my peers in STEM subjects. I was an assistant science teacher at a middle school for a year, and a workshop leader for chemistry classes at UM.I love tutoring because it keeps me on my feet. I know that not every student is the same and I know how to vary my style of teaching to fit the student. My priority is to eventually get the student to understand concepts independently. I consider my strongest asset to be my ability to make the process of learning relaxed and enjoyable. Having been a student very recently, I can relate to the stress students feel when they don't understand the material. My goal in each tutoring session is to put that stress aside and to take baby steps toward fully understanding a concept. My favorite subject to tutor is chemistry because of its interconnectedness. It builds on itself and when you start to piece everything together, everything just clicks.I'm currently working in a clinical research lab and applying to medical schools, and through my clinical experiences I've come to love working with people, which is why tutoring has been such a joy. In my spare time I like to try new recipes, dance, watch every movie I can, and train for marathons.

Hello! I am a current third year dental student pursuing my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology/Immunology with double minors in Chemistry and Entrepreneurship from the University of Miami. Go Canes! Aside from my background in the sciences and business, I thoroughly enjoy reading and writing. In fact, I scored perfectly on both of my states writing assessments in the 8th and 11th grades. I have helped many of my peers and mentees in performing well on a vast array of exams, classes, and standardized tests. My tutoring style consists of positive reinforcement, active listening and probing, and presenting material in easy, manageable steps. I believe that learning should be fun no matter the subject, and I look forward to spreading my knowledge and passion with each of you.

I am a teacher with a passion for educating the next generation in the biological sciences. I have extensive experience in both biology and education, and want to use those experiences to present fundamental and applicable knowledge to my students. My eight years of teaching experience combined with my eleven years of biology research experience in both field and laboratory settings uniquely qualify me with the ability to present a greater depth and breadth of knowledge. My career goal is to continue to develop my personal understanding in the biological sciences and enable my students to think critically on their own.

Test taking strategies, not a measure of intelligence but ability to apply AAMC topics. Given time and effort, anyone can score the right score to these exams. Also tough science

I graduated from the University of Miami with a BS in Physics. While in high school, I attended math competitions across the country including one at Princeton University and another at New York University. My love for mathematics eventually led to virtual tutoring through Florida Virtual School where I tutored over 150 hours in Pre-Calculus, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and Chemistry. I love to teach because it lets me share my enthusiasm for mathematics and science with other students and helps me get a deeper understanding of material that is useful for my higher level mathematics and physics courses. As a tutor, I break down complicated problems into manageable concepts so students can gain confidence in solving these problems on their own.

My name is Dr. Duckett and I am an alumna of the University of Miami. I graduated in 2015 with a B.B.A. in Legal Studies with a minor in Accounting. I graduated in 2019 from San Francisco State University with an M.F.A. in Creative Writing. I completed my doctorate in 2023. I have extensive writing and editing experience with 100+ published articles, seven years of writing experience, and four years of editorial work. I have experience tutoring students from grades K-12 as well as college. I am passionate about helping students achieve their full potential while making the subject matters and assignments engaging and fun.

I am a graduate of the University of Miami, where I majored in Psychology and English, with a focus in Creative Writing, and minored in Art. As a student, I was employed through America Reads. I worked individually with a kindergarten classroom of both special needs and neurotypical students, working with each child to develop a program that was both fun and effective in helping them overcome deficits. I tutor in English, literature, writing, math, and test prep at a variety of levels. I am most passionate about literature and writing as they are both hobbies I enjoy, but I also enjoy math because each problem feels like a puzzle to solve. I believe that learning should be engaging and fun, and was grateful to have many educators who helped me develop a strong educational background that has since provided me with many opportunities. I believe it is important to provide children and young adults with learning environments that emphasize the fun of learning, rather than portraying it as an inescapable chore. I try to provide an environment that encourages students to become active learners. In my free time, I enjoy reading all types of books, writing poetry and fiction, scuba diving, and hiking and slogging in the Everglades.

I am a graduate of Cornell University (B.A.) and the University of Miami (M.S.Ed.). I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy with a minor in Women's Studies. I also earned my masters in education where I did research on literacy and writing strategies for students in grades 6-12. For the past 6 years I've been teaching ELA for 9th and 10th graders in Miami, FL. I've also tutored students who were struggling to prepare for Standardized Tests in the areas of Critical Reading and Writing exams. I firmly believe that any student can learn the literacy skills necessary to navigate the world.

I am currently a student at the University of Miami, studying to get my Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering, with an Electrical Concentration. I have always been mathematically inclined, scoring very highly in all standardized tests in the math and science portions. It is this knowledge and understanding that makes me a great choice to help students learn and understand anything mathematically related.

I am a graduate of the University of Miami School of Communications and received a B.S. in Communications. I doubled majored in Advertising and English Literature and minored in Fine Arts. While studying at UM, I participated in a Study Abroad program and spent a semester in Prague, Czech Republic. The time I spent abroad sparked a desire to travel and study other cultures. This was my first exposure to tutoring students in English. Since graduation, I have spent time working as a substitute teacher and received my TESOL certification to teach English abroad. While I tutor a range of subjects including elementary and middle school math and test preparation, I am passionate about reading, writing, and editing. I strongly believe that the ability to communicate clearly is one of the most important skills any student can learn. I also believe there are many ways to approach a problem, whether in math or writing or study skills, and look forward to finding creative approaches with my students and building upon past sessions to create a solid foundation for future learning. Outside of education, I enjoy sewing and crafting, art, exercising, and reading.

I'm a senior at the University of Miami studying Exercise Physiology with a pre-med focus.I first began tutoring in 2015 at the Academic Resource Center at UM. At the ARC, I primarily tutored students in Calculus. At the start of 2016, I transitioned to the Schwartz Center where I exclusively tutored Division I athletes at UM. I continued tutoring Calculus, as well as some additional subjects such as Inorganic and Organic Chemistry.Outside of tutoring, I enjoy outside activities such as hiking, kayaking, and swimming. I enjoy traveling, listening to music, watching my favorite TV shows, and spending time with friends and family.

I have a Masters degree in Industrial Electronics and Computers and a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering from the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. I tutor math for all grade levels up to precalculus. I worked for twelve years as a senior design engineer at the Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Payloads Program before I gave up engineering to home school my five children. Some of the payloads I worked on were Magelan Venus probe, Galileo Jupiter probe, Hubble Space Telescope, Ulysses solar probe, Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, Spacelab, and the International Space Station. Why did I switch to education? To pass on to my children my love for math, science and engineering. I am happy to say I met my goal!I have experience teaching high school math and science in private schools for students who need high level instruction in math and science. I also have experience in direct instruction and coaching competition robotics teams. I love tutoring math because I often find it is an opportunity to turn downtrodden students around and other times I get to enjoy and marvel at an enthusiastic math lover.My tutoring style is collaborative, warm and most of all, encouraging. Whether the student comes to tutoring for remediation or to accelerate, I find he or she benefits from a friendly, non intimidating, supportive demeanor. I often find that students who come to tutoring for math help have met some personal obstacles which can be overcome with persistent optimism.I love ethnic dance, ballet, taking walks, cooking for friends and family, drinking iced coffee and making silly jokes.

I am a hard working systems professional that has never outgrown my love for math or for coaching others.As a student, I earned a BS in Mathematics/Psychology from Manhattan College with a minor in Computer Science. At that time I coached students in calculus and advanced mathematics. At this time, I also coached high school students in algebra and trigonometry.As a professional, I have trained and mentored hundreds of individuals throughout my career. I have both designed systems, created training material and traveled in both the US and Europe to train my co-workers. In addition, I have worked as on-line instructor for University of Phoenix, teach programming and Computer Information Systems. I coach basketball, baseball and soccer for my child's local sports teams.My most important job is that of a father to my 12 year old son. I have worked with him over the years, and I am proud to say that he is sharing in my love of math as a student in the Math Program at the local Middle School.My favorite word when coaching is the word 'Yet'. Of course students may not be good at math...yet. And of course, a student may not know an answer to a math problem...yet. But with a little work, focus and motivation, WE can make it that understanding math is a great experience.

I like helping students. I am very patient. I have experience teaching Calculus classes at the University of Miami. I have done private tutoring for all levels of math up to Calculus, as well as Statistics, Business Math, and Math Finance. I have worked in the actuarial field. I have an undergraduate degree in mathematics from Michigan State University and a Master's degree in mathematics from the University of Miami. I worked for The Princeton Review as a tutor for the SAT. I did very well on both the SAT and ACT, and like teaching students how to do better on those. I like history, too, and always find it fun to tutor history.

I am currently a Neuroscience major at the University of Miami, working to eventually obtain my Bachelor of Science. I can tutor anything from standardized high school tests to math and science. I am particularly passionate about teaching math because you can always find a pattern that always leads to a correct answer in every scenario.As a college student, I know what it is like to have gaps in teaching/understanding, and as a tutor I want to work with the student to eventually make that gap in knowledge easier to understand. As a tutor I am very patient, and my teaching style is to ensure the student has a full understanding of the content on their own, without any outside assistance. I hope to obtain this understanding by using repetition and providing practice problems, while making the learning environment as least stressful for the student as possible. I have tutored students for almost 5 years now, and have seen incredible success in the areas that I taught.In my spare time I love to cook, dance, and glass paint.

I am a graduate of the University of Michigan where I received my Bachelor of Science in Biomolecular Science with a minor in Medical Anthropology. Since graduating undergrad, I matriculated into the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine where I graduated in May of 2022. I will begin my residency in general surgery in June 2022. I have been tutoring in the math and sciences since high school, but am now most passionate about helping other medical students conquer the USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK exams. I know how daunting these standardized exams can be and strongly believe that with the proper approach and preparation that these tests can be mastered and actually build the confidence of a medical student. You've worked incredibly hard to make it to medical school and these tests are merely a stepping stone on your journey towards becoming a physician. While long study hours are part of the process, I recognize that taking breaks for your mental and physical well-being are equally as important. In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors, exercising, trying new restaurants, and reading.

I received a Bachelor of Health Science with minors in English, math, and chemistry from the University of Miami in Spring 2015. When I was there and learning any new information or studying for a test, I always ended up speaking aloud as if I was teaching a classroom. If you include this as tutoring or teaching experience, I have a much higher number of hours than those indicated on my resume. If this does not cut it, I have worked with students from elementary through high school to meet their educational goals through various volunteer organizations in college. I am happy to be able to continue doing the work that I have enjoyed so much.Despite my efforts to tutor myself as I have described, I often needed or just wanted a tutor to help me with my goals. As I have sat in front of a tutor many times, I know what mistakes students often make and how students often feel. I am an honest and encouraging tutor here to help you reach your goals!Outside of academics, I enjoy watching and playing sports, painting,and reading. Currently, I am applying to optometry schools and hope to begin in fall 2016.

I am an educator and mentor dedicated to helping students build confidence, improve performance, and achieve their academic goals. I recently earned my Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) from the University of Miami with a 4.0 GPA and Academic Merit of Distinction.

I received a B.S. from the University of Miami in 2018 (Go Canes!). I double-majored in Marine Science / Microbiology and Immunology and achieved a Chemistry minor. I then attended a Biomedical Sciences graduate program in California and gained a great deal of laboratory and mentoring experience before moving back east. Since moving home to Philadelphia, I have taken the Praxis Core exams (scoring perfectly on the Math) and am in the process of obtaining my PA teaching certification in secondary education (7-12) biology.

Every moment I teach music I strive to be sharing something much larger - the love of life. What students learn with me will include the nuts and bolts of music making, but the way we learn, the habits we develop, and our pursuit of human expression will overflow into every aspect of life. My goal is that every student walks away with a deep passion for living life beautifully. My experiences have been extremely diverse! Ranging from folk and bluegrass performance to Concerto Competitions and everything in between. While my primary instrument is saxophone, I play many instruments and love arranging music as well. My passion for music is something that gives me a spark in my spirit everyday. I seek to share that joy with students to inspire them to find what makes them passionate in life. I measure my success through knowing that students who leave are full of passion to be beautiful people.

I am an innovative, resourceful Leader well versed in defining, implementing and executing large, complex projects, managing processes and solutions to achieve optimization and results. An effective communicator, highly valued for ability to establish positive global and local partnerships and motivate cross-functional teams towards a common objective. I am adept at directing multiple projects, identifying possible setbacks and implementing timely corrective measures to prevent project delays. I leverage keen analysis, insights and team approach to drive efficiencies. Multilingual, fluent in Spanish, English and Portuguese.

With a Masters in Mathematics Education and four years teaching at the high school level, I feel well prepared to address the needs of a wide variety of students. My method consists of asking students the right questions so that the students can figure out the problems themselves. I model the best ways of thinking so students learn how to ask themselves the right questions when I am no longer by their side. I seldom have students rely on "tricks"; instead, students will learn the underlying reasoning so that they can extend their solving methods to new related problem types. I look forward to applying my years of tutoring and teaching experience to help many motivated students.

Hi!Although I am Arizona born and raised, my education includes an NYC law school degree with an undergraduate BS degree from University of Miami. In college I majored in Health Sciences with minors in Psychology and Public Health while in law school I leaned into corporate law and finance. Between law school and college I've pretty much covered every topic under the sun! In my spare time, I enjoy reading (especially mystery novels), pretending I'm a chef, and meditating.I have extensive experience tutoring family and friends at the middle school, high school, and college level in just about every topic, especially math and science courses. As I progressed through law school, my reading and writing skills improved significantly and I've picked up many tricks and tips I wish I could have used in lower school. I have always loved being a student and collaborating with others to make doing homework not only effective but kind of fun! I have an ongoing enthusiasm for learning that I'm so excited to share with you.

I believe in tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each student, utilizing interactive methods that encourage curiosity and confidence.

I am a current student at the University of Miami and I have learned the benefits of learning in any subject. I started tutoring at a Community Center and realized it was my passion to assist others in the learning field. My mission is to teach others the proper way to solve problems and questions using critical thinking skills that will resonate to the point where the tutee will be able to apply these skills to problems in real life.

Hello there! Hope you are doing well today. My name is Agnes and I am a recent graduate of the University of Miami. I have experience tutoring for an award winning company and for Varsity Tutors since last November. Successful tutoring involves two essential elements: an engaging, tutor who is effective at communicating concepts, and a committed, involved student who wants to learn. Frequently, I hear from parents that their student enjoyed the session with me. I believe this is because I do my best to make my sessions interactive, engaging and educational. I am proud to say that I have received positive feedback from parents thanking me for taking the time to help their student reach new heights in their academics.Most notably, a student I met with twice a week got his first A in his eighth grade Algebra class. Another one of my previous students got into her into her dream school-National Cathedral with the test taking strategy I provided. I absolutely love sharing the tools I have learned in my educational journey with others and seeing them flourish. Varsity Tutors gives me the ability to do just that!My track record includes: high school students for the SAT, 4th graders for the Cogat, SSAT, and ISEE, 8th graders for school subjects like algebra and the ISEE and SSAT.Thank you so much for reading. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

I am a doctoral student in Human Genetics at the University of Miami with an MS in Biomedical Sciences. Previously, I have tutored students in general biology, undergraduate genetics, and human biology. I feel highly comfortable tutoring high school students, college students, and graduate students in biological sciences and especially human genetics. I'm a very interactive tutor and feel students learn best when it is a discussion and not a lecture. My core philosophy is to teach students how to approach questions or material they are struggling with in a manner that can be applied across the subject. Outside of tutoring I am an avid cyclist, triathlete, and runner. I look forward to helping you reach your goal.

I am currently a strategy analyst as MasterCard. I have tutored for the past 4-5 years to both college students as well as local Miami high school students. I love working with students because engaging in the process of educating individuals is highly motivational to me and due to that I can't help but motivate my students to learn as well. I believe my experiences have allowed me to become rather successful in tutoring and have taught me how to effectively adapt to various students and how to properly teach them difficult concepts. More so, I have learned how to motivate students who may feel discouraged and have also learned how to create an environment in which the students feels as if they can succeed. Outside of tutoring, I love to exercise, invest in the stock market and learn how to code (I am currently learning Python and R). It is important to realize that in learning, there isn't a single successful way. Rather, each student is unique and their path to success is too.

My name is Dr Yvonne John. I am an educational researcher with 25 years of experience, working from K-12 to the tertiary level, Internationally.

He also teaches English composition and creative writing at UM. His poetry and fiction have been published in Thread Literary Inquiry, The Missing Slate: International Literature & Art Magazine, and Momma Tried Magazine.

As a recent high school graduate, I understand what it is like to juggle extracurriculars, AP classes, and college applications. I have sat through mundane test prep classes only to realize that I had not truly grasped the material and did not feel confident in my abilities to do well. I believe the key to excelling in a subject is to develop an interest in it along with learning the material, and this is what I hope I accomplish as a tutor for my students. I work with my students in a stress-free zone and encourage questions and discussion rather than lectures. In addition to studying engineering at the University of Miami, I have years of experience learning Russian as a native speaker. During high school I was a competitive ballroom dancer and continue to train in college.

I believe that each and every person is capable of mastering any subject with the right guidance. A good tutor not only teaches students what they need to know for their classes, but she also teaches students how to think critically so that her students can effectively tackle questions in any subject area.

I am a recent graduate from the University of Miami and am applying to PhD programs in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Throughout my undergraduate studies I tutored friends and family. I love helping others understand the sometimes complicated facets of science and mathematics.

From a young age I learned to value my mother's perseverance and sacrifice. My mother supported my grandmother and I while working three jobs in Hialeah, Fl. I assumed the responsibility of caring for my grandmother while my mother worked, day in and day out. Although she had little time or money, she would manage, every week, to volunteer in the community with me by her side. As I sit on the threshold of a career in medicine, I am humbly reminded of so many of these early incidents, which define and shape who I am today. Armed with the support of my mother's strength and exposure to some of the best learn educational opportunities that Miami had to offer, I was able to reach far beyond the expectations of my immediate environment. As I grew through meaningful experiences that led me to a choice of career while at the University of Miami, I journeyed through a similar progression of experiences at Howard University College of Medicine that narrowed my specialty choice to Anesthesiology.One of those experiences was the medical mission trip I was privileged to be a part of to Haiti prior to my third year of medical school. A day did not pass during this mission when I did not feel compassion for this community. The Haitian people have so much resilience and strength despite their devastating living conditions. I was fortunate enough to work closely with the anesthesiologists in the operating room throughout the entire mission trip. I was also able to observe the rapidity with which a patient might deteriorate and how quickly the anesthesiologist had to act. It was both exciting and rewarding to see that our efforts of stabilizing numerous patients succeeded. The practice of keeping patients alive and free of pain during such a difficult time was fascinating to me. During the mission, I also witnessed the impact that the lack of services and resources had on the community's health. I initially went to Haiti to serve a population in great need, never knowing that my life would have been impacted by witnessing the hope they had admist their day-to-day struggles. With a particular interest in international health, I plan to continue to promote awareness of health disparities that face many people globally.After my trip to Haiti and during clinical rotations I realized that my most fulfilling moments were being in the operating room. Specifically, I was more fascinated by the medicine behind keeping the patient stabilized and free of pain. Anesthesiology is tightly intertwined amongst most specialties of medicine. Whether caring for an obstetric patient who is bringing life into the world or stabilizing a critical patient, the attentiveness and intricacies that form the dynamic relationship between physiology and pharmacology intrigue me. Also, I find the prospect of practicing medicine with a diverse population of patients alluring. When I consider my interests and personality, along with my particular attention to detail, I feel that I am well suited for a career in anesthesiology.I am excited about the opportunity of pursuing a career in anesthesiology. I aspire to join a program that will challenge me and strengthen my drive to not only learn anesthesiology, but to teach others as well. With the clinical training I receive, as well as the compassion and congeniality I exude, I will own the responsibility to relieve pain and support my patients during the most critical moments of their lives. As I continue on this journey I strive to become a knowledgeable physician, adept anesthesiologist, and an effective educator. I know that my passion and dedication to patients as well as to learning will serve me well in my future endeavors to ultimately becoming a well-rounded physician.
