I am a junior at Vanderbilt University studying Economics and Math, and I intend to get my PhD in Economics after graduating. Taking the GRE was the first step of my graduate admissions process, and I want to help others achieve similar success so that they can pursue their dreams. In addition, I enjoy tutoring economics and chemistry, as those are my favorite subjects. During my spare time, I like to play cello, read, and bake pies (especially peach pie).

"BYE TO AI" DISCLAIMER: At a time when so many tutors use AI to create lesson plans, conduct research, and even grade students' work, I must disclaim that I do not and will not use AI in our work together. The humanities are fundamentally, well, human, and AI has no place here. Hi! I'm Sophia, a writer, editor, tutor, and voice teacher. I graduated Vanderbilt University with my Bachelor's in History, a second major in Voice, a concentration in Musicology, and a minor in Italian. I'm currently pursuing my Master's. I have extensive experience with academic writing and am also an award-winning creative writer. If you need help editing an essay, college personal statement, or writing of any kind, I'm here! I tutor middle school through collegiate humanities (think ELA and History), as well as Voice and musical academics (Musicology, Music Theory, Solfege, Conducting, etc.) for students of all ages.

I recently retired from 39 years of teaching nearly all subjects and levels of High School Math and Science (primarily Physics), along with some Theatre! During my time in the high school classroom, I taught Biology through AP, Chemistry, and Physics through AP 1 and AP C. I have also taught most subjects in high school Math, including Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus, and AP Calculus AB. My favorite subjects to teach and tutor are Physics at any level and Algebra 2 or Precalculus.I have a Master's Degree in Molecular Biology from Vanderbilt University, and a Bachelor's Degree in Biology from Trinity College in Hartford, CT (my home state, though I have lived in Jacksonville, FL, for the past nearly 40 years). I have also taught as an adjunct professor at most of my local area's colleges and universities.My teaching and tutoring style center on student-based learning, allowing students to solve their own problems with "leading questions" and not providing a simple step-by-step solution. I am proud to say that, over the past 30-plus years, I have had many of my students go on to post-secondary education in Math, Physics, and Engineering.In my spare time, I enjoy theatre (directing and acting), singing, musical theatre, film, writing, reading, and travel. I have also taught Theatre and Musical Theatre, as well!

I am currently a first-year student at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. My intended majors are Medicine, Health, and Society and Russian Studies, but I love learning all types of subject matter!I have extensive and recent experience with tutoring, whether for the ACT or for Algebra I. During my senior year of high school, I worked at Mathnasium, tutoring children of all ages in mathematical topics ranging from counting to calculus. Furthermore, I currently volunteer weekly in "Latino Achievers", a group that allows me to provide free ACT tutoring for students in Nashville schools.I also hope to receive certification soon to teach English as a foreign language.If you need help with your homework or need practice for an upcoming test, feel free to contact me! I consider myself a very sociable and patient person, and hopefully I can help you to achieve your academic goals!

I have been a professional tutor for the past two years, and have enjoyed many success stories with students (a number of whom have gone on to attend Ivy League schools).I love demystifying the standardized testing experience, and was was a proficient test-taker myself (earning a 2250/1500 on the SATs, and perfect scores on all AP exams taken), and am very sensitive to student anxiety, as I suffered from it myself. I've developed some effective rituals and coping mechanisms to help manage stress surrounding testing, and general tribulations of life in high school, college, and the workplace.I also have experience classroom teaching (in world languages, specifically Latin and Spanish), which has given me the skills necessary to communicate with students effectively, and adapt instruction to students' individual needs. I am a New Hampshire resident, able to commute to Massachusetts as needed, and am widely available for online clients during the Academic Year. I am eager to begin a rewarding career with Varsity Tutors!

I'm Karen, I'm from New York and recently graduated from Vanderbilt University, double majoring in Secondary Education and English Literature. I am a licensed English (6-12) teacher and I have lots of experience tutoring kids of all ages and all subjects, so reach out and say hi, and let's work together!

As a tutor, I have years of experience teaching and tutoring elementary school students in their general studies and years of experience teaching English to immigrants at an English learning program. As a result, I've had quite the variety of teaching experiences.

I am a passionate scientist, innovator and collaborator driven to help make learning news skills relatable and fun. I am a public health professional with a background in neuroscience, and I am looking forward to working with you to better understand different science, language, health and writing concepts.

I am a certified Special Education teacher and Behavior Therapist. I enjoy seeing my students have fun learning, which I believe is key to academic success!A little bit about me. . . I am originally from Ridgewood, New Jersey, attended Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, PA and then moved to Nashville to pursue my M.Ed at Vanderbilt University. Nashville has become my home over the past 4 years and I absolutely love the energy of the city and have made wonderful friends and connections here.My upbeat personality, years of experience working with children and strong organizational skills make me a strong tutor. Furthermore, my background in psychology and Special Education allow me to differentiate instruction, decrease anxiety, and employ positive behavior supports to ensure that the students I work with are successful in all realms of their studies.When I am not working, I enjoy taking my dog for walks, attending shows and making jewelry.

I just finished my first year teaching as an elementary Extended Content Standards teacher. I spent the year teaching both in person and virtually. I graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in special education and cognitive studies in May 2020. I am comfortable working with students in general education and students with disabilities. I have a lot of experience teaching from the past year, and two years of pre-student teaching and student teaching experience in college, along with experience tutoring students during the summer.I am able to tutor in person in NC or online.

I am a graduate from Boston College studying Psychology, Pre-medicine and German. During my undergraduate education I tutored in health sciences, English and did extensive general and research paper editing for grammar, content and format.I taught English as a Second Language in Austria from ages 2nd grade through adults and am competent in conversational German and love to share my love of German culture with others.I also am a certified Nurse Practitioner by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and Registered Nurse and have experience tutoring in Pharmacology, nutrition, AP, health sciences and nursing specific courses, including NCLEX, ANCC and AANP test prep.I am passionate about sharing my love for learning with others and hope to help students reach their full potential. I hope to work through content together to master concepts. I am flexible with my timing and want to come up with an individualized schedule that meets your needs.

I am an undergraduate student at Vanderbilt University, studying neuroscience and cognitive science in a double major, with a minor in saxophone performance. I have always had a fascination with the concept of understanding, which was a huge factor in the decision to be a neuroscience major. I am very interested in how people learn things, and how they understand the phenomena around them. Due to this fascination, I have spent many hours trying to figure out what makes certain learning techniques "better" than others, and I have become well versed in a variety of teaching styles. Personally, I learn through understanding, and try to teach others through that same understanding. In my spare time I like to practice piano, guitar, and, of course saxophone. I also love to sail, to read, and to draw when I have extra time.

As someone currently studying for the LSAT and preparing to go to graduate school, I can relate to the challenges of being a student. I graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2010 with a B.A. in Psychology and Communication Studies. I am extremely passionate about academics and learning; the value of each was inculcated into me at a very young age. I tutor a variety of subjects largely because I have so many areas of interests and have been privileged enough to pursue knowledge in those areas. I even enjoy tucking away "useless facts"...in fact, those very tidbits got me past the Jeopardy! Online Test and into the Contestant Audition!If I've learned one thing throughout my academic career, it's that everyone learns differently. In my opinion, a great tutor knows how to meet a student where they are in their work and findthe specific and best way to help them achieve their goals. I have honed this skill over many years of tutoring many different types of students. Additionally, with me, a student will havethe benefit of working with someone who has been on their side of the table. I was tutored in Math both when I was younger and in college, and currently have a tutor for the LSAT. I actuallylove being tutored, as I get the personalized attention that I need, as well as little tips and tricks that aren't necessarily taught to the larger class. I believe that having this experience as thepupil allows me to be an even more effective tutor.So, why do I tutor? As I mentioned above, I love knowledge. I love sharing knowledge. But most of all, I love helping students learn to love what they're doing. Frequently, when a student reaches the point with a tutor where they begin noticing that they are making progress, they begin really believing in their ability to do the work independently and they are more likely to be excited about their academics! Also, I know from experience that a good tutor is capable of helping a student through a specific subject or class; but, a great tutor can transform the way a student operates in all of their academic work and prepare them to be an even better student across the board. I strive for the latter as a tutor.So that you can have a better idea of who I am, I will tell you a few non-academic things about myself. First and foremost, I have an undying love for Star Wars that began and has beennurtured since I was eight. I own approximately 200 Expanded Universe books and comics, and far too much memorabilia. I also play professional ultimate frisbee. I've been playing sincecollege and they just formed women's pro teams this year, and yes, you read correctly, pro ultimate frisbee. In other words, I get paid (peanuts) to chase plastic. Other things I enjoy arereading a great mystery, watching Netflix, playing Xbox, riding horses, playing with my massive dog, and staying in shape!

Hello! I am Elsa! I am a Senior at Vanderbilt with aspirations to be a Pharmacist and Public Health official in the future in my home country of Ethiopia and other developing nations. I enjoy working with students of a variety of backgrounds and truly seek to ensure the student has confidence in the area they desire assistance in. The student's understanding and self-esteem are my priorities. I have experience tutoring 4th graders in math and reading and college students in Calculus-based Physics and many ages in between. As a Chemistry major, I have a wide breath of experience in math and the natural sciences. I also carry a minor in African American Studies and have taken numerous history courses over the course of my education.

I am an engineering student at Vanderbilt and am currently taking a gap year! I love ideas and helping others. My teaching philosophy is to:- understand where the student is- understand why they are there- work with them to change their understanding- support them in their practice (there is no substitute for homework!)I am all about the application and integration of ideas into the way you see the world.Real learning! Sincere understanding! In particular, I am a Fantastic ACT tutor.Overall: the questions are easy. time is the enemy. get enough reps to efficiently complete the test and score high!- Reading section: the answers are all in the text. you just have to find them within the allotted time- Science section: the challenge is to understand the situation presented. the questions are easy- Math: learn what the questions are. learn how to complete them the quick way- English: understand grammar rules and how to apply them- Writing: find a sincere interest in the prompt and don't stop writing

I am a graduate of New York University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Childhood (G 1-6) Education and Childhood (G1-6) Special Education. I have gotten my teacher certification in the state of New York, right after graduating. After graduating from NYU, I taught English to students in Elementary School in Korea (G1-6) and I have taught all different levels. I am now pursuing a master's of Education in English Language Learner program at Vanderbilt University. I am passionate about elementary education and teaching English as a foreign language. In my experience of learning and teaching elementary school, I always try to make the activity more engaging and fun. In my spare time, I like to listen to music, watch tv, and hang out with friends.

I was what is referred to as a nontraditional student. I struggled in high school due to undiagnosed ADD. Upon receiving a diagnosis later at age 25 I returned to school. I received a BSCh and MS in Analytical Chemistry from The University of Memphis, a PhD in Analytical Chemistry from Vanderbilt University, and served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Indiana University before moving to the Denver area in 2011.I currently homeschool my 13 year-old son, and have tutored throughout my graduate academic career. I have taught undergraduate chemistry labs at levels from introductory courses for non-science backgrounds through advanced mixed graduate/undergraduate classes for chemistry majors. I understand that different people learn in different ways, and that the best teachers adapt their methods to the needs of their students.In addition to my passion for science, I have a love for music. Both of my children belong to the Denver Young Artist Orchestra and have performed musical theater with the Phamaly theater group.

I am a freshman at Vanderbilt University currently pursuing a B.S. in Biochemistry. My inquisitive nature has fostered a love for mathematics, the natural sciences, and how they interact to produce the world we experience every day. This extends to my teaching strategy, where I emphasize the importance of conceptual understanding rather than pure memorization of equations and steps. My recent experience in a wide variety of Advanced Placement courses lends me insight to recent changes in course objectives and exam formatting.

I am currently entering my senior year at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. I am majoring in Medicine, Health and Society on the pre-medical track with two minors in French Language and Culture and History of Art. In regard to my tutoring experience, I have been a part of an organization at Vanderbilt called Next Steps since my freshman year and am currently serving on the executive board. This organization works with students with intellectual disabilities by providing them with tutoring services and support in all aspects of their lives so they can live as independently as possible. I have been a tutor for the organization since I first joined and it has given me vital experience working with all types of students from all sorts of backgrounds. While I've always had an interest in a wide range of academic subjects, I feel the most passionate about science, math and language comprehension. The academic philosophy that one must understand and learn material instead of simply memorizing it has always been a core component of my teaching style. I hope to impart this same set of beliefs on the students that I tutor. In my spare time, I love to read and I try to stay creative by frequently drawing and painting.

Hi, I'm Aarzu! I'm currently an undergraduate student at Vanderbilt University, studying biochemistry and computer science. Since I was in elementary school, I have been making efforts to learn and understand mathematical concepts at more advanced levels through self studying and classes outside of school. I also have a lot of experience tutoring kids of all ages in math. I tutored at my local Russian School of Mathematics as well as at my high school through the National Honor Society. I also have experience tutoring high schoolers in chemistry.I love finding ways to explain complicated concepts in simpler ways because not only is it rewarding to help others gain a deeper understanding of a subject I am so passionate about, but because it gives me an opportunity to understand the concept at a deeper level.Aside from my experience tutoring kids in both simple and advanced math concepts, I also have the grades and test scores to indicate my knowledge of the material. I received an 800 both on the SAT II Math Level 2 Exam and the math portion of the SAT. I also received a 5 on the AP calculus exam. I was an active member of my high school's competitive math team and was also the captain as an upperclassman.I truly love working with students and finding the most effective way to help them understand the material at hand. I am very patient and I believe that it is important to highlight how far a student have come, rather than just how much they have left to learn. I want to provide the most benefit to students that I can, so feel free to let me know if there is something you think I could do better. Feel free to contact me at any time!

The ideas of education and its values have been a major part of my development as an individual. I have strong family ties to the establishment that is public education, and I value it's importance tremendously. The appreciation and understanding of the benefits of a well-round education was formed through these ties. This understanding is what increased and solidified my desire to be a member of a force that can alter the outcome of our society through teaching and advocacy. In my classroom, specifically, I want students to have a voice in innovative academic choices that allow for expression and creativity while learning the material in a way that is relevant to their surroundings. Students should have a chance to learn a subject such as chemistry in a way that covers the content expected at the college level as well as develop a relationship with a science that dictates life. I believe the philosophy at the community college should foster an environment that supports experimentation within the chemistry curriculum while keeping the science pertinent to the students. I enjoy a socratic approach to learning. The asking of questions during the instruction, and the subsequent responses, can help bolster understanding as well as illuminate areas that may need deeper explanation. The understanding of chemical concepts and not just the ability to pick a correct answer is my main goal in my instruction. This can be best incorporated during instruction by the repeated question of “why,” and via increased writing within the curriculum. I believe that relevancy and non-traditional learning methods are imperative to bringing a fresh perspective to a subject that I really enjoy teaching.

While I teach history as a day job, I think in numbers at all other hours of the day. Whether it is carpentry, music, or sports, I see math as integral to our lived experience. It is my goal as an educator to bridge the gap between math in the abstract and in the everyday so that students can leverage what they know and understand to make sense of the world of numbers.I am a graduate of the University of Virginia where I earned a B.A. in Music and History. After college, I taught high school history in Africa and Maryland, conducted a school band, coached basketball, directed sailing programs, and worked at a furniture-making shop. Before moving to New York City last year, I received my M.Ed. from Vanderbilt University where I wrote my thesis on shop class and its value outside of vocational training. My dream is to teach geometry via the woodshop, but in the meantime, I am enjoying teaching history and tutoring math.I will feel successful when my students take ownership of their education, feel more confident in their understanding of math, and experience joy in learning.

I have a passion for knowledge and academics. In high school, I finished rank 13 out of 1560 students in my class. I now attend Vanderbilt University, where I made the dean's list for the school of engineering during my freshman year. I strive to help others achieve the same success in their classes, no matter the age of the student or the level of their academic achievement.

Hello,I'm a full time working professional and adjunct professor based in Manhattan. I graduated from Vanderbilt University with a BA in Medicine, Health, & Society and a minor in Managerial Studies. I've also earned my MFA in Luxury & Fashion Management from Savannah College of Art & Design and my MSL in Fashion Law from Fordham School of Law. I have been an Adjunct Professor in fashion business since 2016 and love working one-on-one with students to build confidence and identify their root source of motivation while of course building knowledge and develop critical thinking skills. I'm available to tutor students in a wide range of topics including English (grammar, writing, reading, spelling, etc.), math (through Algebra 2), and history. As a US Presidential Scholar who earned a 35 out of 36 on my ACT, I am most actively seeking students for ACT tutoring as well as general college prep including college applications, scholarship search, and financial aid application assistance.

I am currently an undergraduate student at Vanderbilt University, double majoring in Molecular and Cellular Biology and Communication of Science and Technology. Ultimately, I am pursuing a career in genetic research and genetic counseling. I have experience tutoring biology through the National Honor Society during high school, and I have also helped elementary school students with homework while babysitting. As a member of Vanderbilt Student Volunteers for Science, I teach science lessons to Nashville middle school students several times per semester, with topics ranging from evolution to ocean currents and everything in between.I tutor ACT and SAT test prep, biology, and many levels of English and math. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology and math. My teaching philosophy is one of guided practice. I find that the most effective way to teach is to give a step by step explanation, and have the student answer conceptual questions, with the ultimate intent of the student replicating the process on their own. To me, the most fulfilling moment of tutoring is reaching the "light bulb moment" that moment when everything clicks for the student, and they can see how their hard work has paid off.Outside of tutoring, in high school, I played the alto saxophone in the band and was captain of the debate team. In college, in addition to teaching science lessons, I am involved in a sorority and a national honor fraternity.

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Theological Studies and a Fellow in Theology & Practice at Vanderbilt University, with a minor in Ethics & Society and a certificate in Women's & Gender Studies. I have a M.Div. and a certificate in Gender, Theology, and Ministry, and an A.M. in Comparative Literature and African-American Studies from Duke University. I recently moved to New York to write my dissertation, and am already wondering why I didn't move here sooner!I have tutored a variety of subjects and specialize in test preparation. Most recently, I took the GRE to get into my doctoral programs. I love tutoring as it give me an opportunity to be a teacher, coach, and cheerleader all at the same time. I love the one-on-one interaction and the opportunity to help students with both content and strategy.When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy exploring the city and watching TV. I am a Jeopardy fan! (It is my life goal to get on Jeopardy before Alex Trebek retires!) I am also an avid runner.

A summa cum laude graduate of Vanderbilt University with degrees in biochemistry and architecture, I am a current graduate student at Columbia University in the City of New York. Tutoring since high school, I have worked with students ages 11-22 (from middle school through college) in subjects as varied as math, organizational skills, PRAXIS prep, and of course, biochemistry! Additionally, I am well-versed in GRE, SAT, ACT, and AP exam coaching. Outside of the classroom, I have and continue to work in biochemical laboratories, play viola in an orchestra, and cross-country hike. As a student of pedagogy, I adapt to each student's unique needs to deliver hands-on approaches that use real world examples and provide mastery in comprehension. I believe that knowledge is power, but only in the application and advancement of knowledge can one find success.

Hi everyone! I'm a senior studying Public Policy and Child Development at Vanderbilt University. I have been tutoring since COVID, and have always wanted to pursue a career in the field of education. I was also a California National Merit Finalist for the PSAT, and am very familiar with the SAT exam and preparation process. You can count on me to help you achieve the confidence to perform well on yours! I am determined to meet students where they're at - that means seeing them as holistic individuals who make up an important part of a system, rather than just the metrics or grades they put out. Important questions to ask are: what motivates my student to learn? what resources do they have access to? How can I support them in achieving their greatest potential given the environments and resources they have access to? I provide a perfect balance between patience and adaptability, and staying task-oriented during my sessions.

We are what we continually do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. - AristotleMy aim is to help you cultivate character that leads to a habit of consistent clarity. I want to help you first to understand and empathize, before criticizing an argument. And when you criticize, I want to help you aim with laser-sharp focus at whether that criticism is based on misinformation, "mal-infomration", or a lack of information.

I am currently working towards a PhD in Neuroscience at Vanderbilt University. My research focuses on the various ways that human behaviors affect the brain and contribute towards obesity. I have developed substantial mathematical and statistical knowledge throughout my data analysis. In addition, I have published a variety of publications in my field, and regularly write and edit federally-funded grants. I organize and run two academic journal clubs, one of which focuses on teaching the foundations of research and neuroscience to undergraduate college students. Beginning in 2014, I have continued to volunteer as a mentor to students interested in the applied sciences. Outside of work, I am a classically trained percussionist who enjoys biking, playing football, and managing two fantasy football leagues.

I believe in the power of education and how it can really transform lives. Learning a new language is not only learning another skill, it'a a way to look the world with new googles and tune up what you have seen till now.I have been working in in K-12 and higher education for more than15 years. I have mostly worked in the public (Ministry of Education of Peru = U.S. Department of Education) and private sectors (research centers and private university, Pontifical Catholic University of Peru - PUCP). I have been involved in the areas of educational administration, strategic planning, project management and evaluation, leadership and academic culture research, and teaching undergraduates.I have also worked and volunteered in nonprofit organizations with youth and adults in Peru and in the United States. My work has been related to leading educational programs, writing curricula and facilitating workshops such as social skills for the workplace, community organizing, parenting skills to enhance children's academic performance, and basic education skills.I received a B.A. in Psychology from PUCP. In addition, I hold diplomas in Gender Studies, and Human Resources. As a LASPAU-Fulbright scholar, I obtained her M.Ed. in Organizational Leadership from Vanderbilt University.

I am a current sophomore at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. I am studying Human and Organizational Development, a major that teaches students how to identify and solve problems in organizations and communities. In the future, I am looking to get involved in the nonprofit sector of education and may pursue teaching after graduation. I've always enjoyed each individual's ability to grow through the learning process and I firmly believe that an education is the most valuable gift one can give the next generation.This semester, I am volunteering at an afterschool program where I am tutoring a middle school student in various subject areas.I am forever grateful to my personal ACT tutor for helping me get into the college of my dreams, so I definitely love to teach the ins and outs of that test. In addition to the ACT, math and English are my preferred subjects to teach.My teaching style is highly flexible, depending on whichever way students tend to learn best! I just went through the whole process a few years ago so I understand the difficulties and the overwhelming nature of these standardized tests. I am positive that all students have the potential to rock these subjects and I'm looking forward to helping you through the learning process!On a more personal level, I really enjoy reading, running, guitar, and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I am an undergraduate student at Vanderbilt University. I am working to earn a Bachelor of Science in mathematics with a minor in Art History. Ever since High School, I have had a passion for tutoring. I taught at a voluntary after school ACT program and tutored independently students across my county ranging from age five to sixteen. Growing up in a low socioeconomic area plagued with low standardized test scores I understood the power I possessed to give back to my community to those around me. Ever since I have been in love with tutoring and working with students to help better themselves and their intellectual growth. I have experience tutoring in most subjects but my main adoration has always been mathematics. I have encountered so many people who have a bitter taste in their mouth towards math due to their prior experiences. Whenever I am able to change their view towards math I am always ecstatic. I have witnessed the power education has to change someone's life and I want to pass on my knowledge to my students so they may pass it onto others one day themselves.

I am a senior at Vanderbilt University, with a double major in Neuroscience and Medicine, Health, and Society (MHS). I've been tutoring students since my freshman year of high school, and I love it! In college, I'm a Research Assistant in a clinical neuroscience lab, and I'm also a Lab Assistant in another chemistry lab. I used to work at Mathnasium, which is a math tutoring company, but I love tutoring all subjects!

I'm passionate on making language learning fun, exciting, and personable to each student. As I have taught Spanish for a year, language learning means something different for each student. With this, I am here to not only assist with questions students have about vocabulary, grammar, and cultural content, but also having conversations, dialogues, and lessons that gives students time to have fun and continue the cycle of learning. I am very excited to be apart of y'alls' language journey!

I am a rising junior at Vanderbilt University studying biomedical engineering, computer science, and engineering management. I currently plan on furthering my education in law school, specifically within intellectual property law. During the week, I work in the Center for Technology Transfer and Commercialization where I work with Vanderbilt researchers to take their inventions to industry. I also work in the Vanderbilt Office of Admissions. The pursuit of knowledge is my passion, and I look forward to working with you to help you in your academic endeavors!

I graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2014. I received my Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education and Child Studies. I graduated from Vanderbilt with teaching licensure for Pre-K through third grade in the state of Tennessee. I am originally from New York so, while I loved living in Nashville, I decided that I wanted to move back to New York to receive my Master's degree. I am currently attending Teachers College, Columbia University and I am in a dual Elementary Inclusive Education and Special Education program. I have been working with kids in varied settings such as in classrooms, tutoring groups, one-on-one, in camps, and more, since I was in high school. While I tutor a broad range of subjects and grades, I am most passionate about teaching Reading and Math at the Elementary level. Part of the reason I am drawn to the field of education is because teachers must be life-long learners. I am aim to foster a love of learning in my student. This, I believe, leads to intrinsic motivation. In my spare time I enjoy reading, traveling, cooking, and staying active.

Rising junior at Vanderbilt University majoring in Mathematics and Spanish. Can teach European and American history, mathematics up to multivariable calculus and Spanish.

I am eager to help students thrive because I'm still very much a student myself, and will be for the foreseeable future. Though I enjoyed my time as an undergraduate student in Literature, and learned quite a bit during my time at Vanderbilt, there's still more work to be done. I am working towards a Master's degree, and will continue on from there.Though I am more than happy to help where needed anywhere from K-12, I am most experienced with test prep tutoring. The SAT and ACT tests can be an extremely stressful event for students, especially first time test-takers, so I do my best to go beyond the material covered by the tests and prepare students for the experience of taking the test itself, so that when the day comes, they are confident and prepared to tackle whatever challenges rise up before them.The way that I teach generally falls in line with the way that I learn best myself: discussion and collaborative explanation. When approaching difficult material, lecturing at a student leaves much to be desired. I aim to help them arrive at conclusions and realizations on their own by building on material with which they are already comfortable and confident, and working together towards a solution rather than giving the answer and expecting it to simply be memorized.Outside of academic pursuits, I enjoy many creatively-focused hobbies, primarily writing, acting, and even juggling! I am thankful for the opportunity in my time at Vanderbilt to combine all three into an annual show that not only brought smiles to the faces of a campus, but had the chance to reach out into the Nashville community and make a difference.

I attended Vanderbilt University Nashville, TN where I majored in Molecular and Cellular Biology. Since graduating in May 2014, I applied to medical school and will be attending New York Medical College in August. When I’m not studying, I enjoy staying active by running, biking, hiking, and doing yoga. I also enjoy looking at and creating art. I’m not fantastic at realism and subsequently stick to collages and abstract work. Of all the subjects I tutor, my favorite is biology. During school, I loved seeing how microscopic biology could be applied to subjects like anatomy and nutrition. I look forward to expanding my understanding of this concept in medical school.
