1st Grade Reading Tutor • +57 Subjects

I have recently graduated from the Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida with a Bachelors degree in Biomedical Sciences. This upcoming year I am going to the Institute of Human Nutrition at Columbia University to get an MS in Nutrition and Metabolism.I have been a tutor for college students for 2 years at my university, teaching Organic Chemistry 1 and General Chemistry. I've also helped high school students with college admission essays, and with kindergartners in the Junior Achievement program.I enjoy working with children and finding creative ways for them to learn the material and to try to inspire a desire to learn by making learning fun for them. I also really enjoy teaching general chemistry, because I find the material fascinating. When I tutor a student, I don't just give them the answers, but rather I guide them to the answers. It is important that a student learns how to find the answers themselves so they do not become dependent on outside sources.

Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects

I am currently a student at the University of Missouri Kansas City as a part of their 6 year direct medical program. Medicine is my passion, and I'm thrilled that we are able to interview patients in the hospital and learn from them very early on in the process.The best teachers I've ever had have been more than just adults. They were passionate about the material they taught, and that passion was carried over to me. That is the main thing I hope to show students. A passion that will help them understand the material better.One of my favorite parts of tutoring is getting to know the students' learning style and how they think. The best part is that I have just recently taken all the subjects I have listed to tutor in. The information is fresh in my mind, so I can approach the content from many different angles to help the student understand the material.Outside of school, I spend a lot of my time at Buffalo Wild Wings, hands down the best wings I have ever eaten. Consequently, I also spend a lot of my time exercising - usually swimming or weightlifting.

"You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period." -The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)As a 140+ time author, hip-hop artist, poet, spoken word performer and content creator - if there is anything that I know about dreams, I would like to tell you that taking your own path isn't the easiest feat in the world.Society teaches us that we should have the picketed fence, the perfect family and the college degree for the spacious cubicle twenty-five miles away from where you live. Honestly, that is not everyone's vision. Some of us do not desire to be average. Some of us do not desire to settle for a life of mediocrity.Some of us do not desire to let the talents and ideas given to us from higher powers go to waste all because we wanted to please someone else by fitting ourselves into their boxes. The world is constantly evolving and us as a species, we must evolve with it.I believe that the freedom of expression, whether it be in the humanities, performing arts, activism or essential services will help us to evolve and become more accepting of our differences. I've had the pleasure to use my aptitude for writing and performing to touch souls and hearts from all walks of life.My passion to heal the traumas of those that came before me along with my own gives me the fuel that I need to continue being of service to others as a beacon of light to show you no matter what life throws at you, never let that stop you in your tracks!

Christina

Adult Literacy Tutor • +22 Subjects

I first began teaching during graduate school, when I took on a small group of piano students in my parents' living room. Over the course of four-and-and-half years, my voice and piano studio grew from three to forty students as young as five and as old as seventy. I also had the opportunity to teach Literature and Drama at a private elementary/middle school for one year. While worthwhile and fun, my experience in the classroom helped me realize that I prefer working with students in a private lesson setting, as it allows me to understand their personalities and preferred learning methods. One-on-one, I am also able to get to know the students in such a way that they feel comfortable asking questions and being themselves throughout the learning process.My formal education and training are in music, specifically classical singing, and I hold a B.A. in Music from Gettysburg College, and an M.M. in Vocal Performance from University of Wisconsin-Madison. While at Gettysburg College, I acted as a tutor for Music Theory I and II students. I also took a number of literature and creative writing courses, along with seven semesters of German and a semester studying Music and German in Vienna, Austria. My love of reading, writing, and languages stays with me, and I still enjoy writing short stories and blogs, reading fictional novels, and brushing up on my German and French skills via Duolingo.While my career is mainly focused in music and private teaching, I have a strong background in administrative and publicity work. As an organization nerd, I revel in arranging paperwork, color-coding calendars, and creating spreadsheets. In my free time, I enjoy cooking healthy meals, baking not so healthy treats, and spending time with friends and family.

Sarah

Arithmetic Tutor • +5 Subjects

I am a graduate of University of Nevada Las Vegas. I received my Masters of Education in Special Education. Since graduation, I have taught for the Clark County School district as a Cross Categorial Special Education Teacher, and as a Short and Long Term Substitute as of 2004. I also tutored during this time. While teaching for the school district as a Special Education teacher I spent time in the resource room and the general education settings, main streaming special needs students from the resource room to the general education room. And in the general education classroom I would co-teach with the general education teacher. This model of teaching is very beneficial for all students and teachers in the classroom. I teach and tutor a broad range of subjects, however the subject I enjoy teaching the most is math. Mostly due to it being a subject that is not gray, you either got the answer correct or you did not and it helps to teach logic. Over the years while tutoring and teaching I would design and implement lesson plans for several tutored students ranging from ages 8 to 18 if not designed and implemented lesson plans for five high school resource/general classroom math classes. I also would organize, track and implement study materials for all my students daily. My teaching philosophy is to be thorough, versatile and try multiple techniques so to help students find their own learning style. Each student is unique in the way they learn and I feel I need to tailor teaching strategies and techniques to the students needs. When I'm not teaching I spend my time caring for my family if not enjoying the things that interest me such as health and travel. Or one of the many hobbies I have like, writing, reading, art and cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Engineering Economics combines advanced math with real-world decision-making, which can be challenging for many students. Common difficulty areas include mastering time value of money calculations, understanding complex depreciation methods, and applying economic concepts to engineering project scenarios. Additionally, students often struggle with the transition from theoretical concepts to practical problem-solving, especially when evaluating capital investment decisions or comparing alternative projects using metrics like NPV and IRR.

Personalized instruction helps address these specific gaps by focusing on the exact concepts causing difficulty, rather than moving through material at a classroom pace that may not match your learning needs.

Engineering Economics is typically taught as a core course in engineering programs and covers standardized topics outlined by ABET accreditation standards. Key curriculum areas include time value of money, interest calculations, project evaluation methods (NPV, IRR, payback period), depreciation and taxes, and decision-making under risk and uncertainty.

Experienced tutors in this subject understand these curriculum requirements and can tailor instruction to match your specific course content, textbook approach, and professor's emphasis. Whether your program focuses heavily on spreadsheet modeling, decision trees, or specific evaluation methodologies, personalized instruction ensures you're building the exact skills your coursework demands.

Time value of money (TVM) is foundational to Engineering Economics but requires both conceptual understanding and computational skill. Students often struggle with when to use present value versus future value calculations, how to handle different compounding periods, and why the time value concept matters in real engineering decisions.

A tutor can break TVM into manageable pieces—starting with simple interest concepts, then building to compound interest, annuities, and real-world applications like loan amortization and equipment financing. Working through problems at your own pace, with immediate feedback on both your calculation approach and conceptual understanding, accelerates mastery far more effectively than classroom instruction alone.

Project evaluation is where Engineering Economics becomes practical—but it also requires fluency with multiple methods (NPV, IRR, payback period, benefit-cost ratio) and the judgment to apply the right tool in different scenarios. Students often memorize formulas without understanding when each method is most appropriate or how to interpret results when methods conflict.

Personalized instruction focuses on building both technical skill and decision-making intuition. A tutor can walk through real engineering scenarios, help you practice calculations using the tools you'll actually use (spreadsheets, calculators, or software), and develop your ability to communicate why a particular project evaluation method is optimal for a given situation.

Depreciation and tax analysis add a layer of complexity because they require understanding multiple depreciation methods (straight-line, declining balance, MACRS), how taxes affect project cash flows, and how to incorporate these into NPV calculations. Many students understand the mechanics but struggle to see why these factors matter to engineering decisions or how they impact overall project profitability.

A tutor can clarify the purpose of each depreciation method, walk through realistic examples showing how tax shields affect project value, and help you develop the spreadsheet skills to model these scenarios accurately. This transforms what feels like abstract accounting into concrete understanding of how financing and tax decisions drive engineering project economics.

The best Engineering Economics tutors combine strong quantitative skills with the ability to explain economic concepts clearly. Look for tutors with engineering or economics background who can connect abstract concepts to real projects, explain both the 'how' and 'why' behind calculations, and adapt their teaching to your learning style.

Effective tutors also ask good diagnostic questions to identify where your understanding breaks down, use practical examples or case studies relevant to your coursework, and help you develop problem-solving strategies rather than just working through problems together. When you connect with a tutor through Varsity Tutors, you get matched based on these qualities and your specific needs.

Most students see measurable improvement within a few sessions once they receive targeted instruction addressing their specific knowledge gaps. You might expect to gain confidence with time value of money calculations and project evaluation within 2-3 sessions, and develop strong overall course competency with regular tutoring support.

Beyond grade improvement, you'll develop skills directly applicable to internships and engineering careers—the ability to evaluate capital investments, communicate project economics, and make data-driven decisions. Many students find that personalized instruction transforms Engineering Economics from a frustrating hurdle into a course where they genuinely understand the material and see its professional relevance.
