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.

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!

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.

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.

Meghan
College English Tutor • +22 Subjects
I earned a Bachelor’s of Science from Dominican College in Blauvelt, NY. I currently hold a Pennsylvania Elementary Education Teaching License. I have 7 years of teaching experience, and 10+ years of experience working with children of all ages. For the past 6 years I have been a Pre-Kindergarten teacher in Pittsburgh. My vast experience of working with children has provided me with the needed skills to help students grow academically. I have worked with students of many ability levels, including those with specific learning needs. As a teacher and tutor it is important for me to understand how the student learns and to introduce them to a variety of ways of learning so they are able to reach their full academic potential. My patient personality has proved beneficial while working with young students. All students learn at their own pace and I believe it is important for any teacher to respect that pace.My favorite elementary subjects to tutor are phonics, reading, and writing. Since I was little I have loved reading and I encourage my students to allow themselves to time to read every chance they get.My philosophy on education is student-centered with a focus on the teacher and student forming a cooperative relationship in order to find the best learning method for the student. Each student learns differently and it is important to me as an educator to find the best method of learning for every student I encounter.While not teaching or tutoring, I love spending time with my 10 month old son and husband! Exploring new things in Pittsburgh is always something I enjoy doing. Reading is one of my favorite hobbies, along with DIY projects for our new house we bought in June!

Frequently Asked Questions
Honors Calculus typically moves at a faster pace and delves deeper into theoretical concepts and proofs. While standard Calculus focuses on applying derivatives and integrals to solve problems, Honors Calculus emphasizes understanding the "why" behind these tools—including rigorous limit definitions, formal proofs, and connections between different topics. Students often explore more challenging applications and are expected to think conceptually rather than just procedurally.
This shift from "how to do it" to "why it works" is what makes Honors Calculus demanding for many students, which is where personalized tutoring can help build that deeper understanding.
One of the biggest challenges in Honors Calculus is moving from computational skills to abstract reasoning. A tutor can break down complex proofs into manageable steps, help you understand the logical flow, and show you how to identify the key ideas rather than memorizing steps. They can also help you see connections between different concepts—like how the Mean Value Theorem relates to derivative applications—which makes proofs less intimidating.
With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, tutors can identify where your understanding breaks down and use concrete examples or visualizations to bridge the gap between intuition and formal mathematics.
Look for tutors who have strong foundational knowledge of Calculus and can explain concepts in multiple ways—both intuitively and rigorously. An effective tutor doesn't just show you how to solve problems; they help you understand the underlying principles and develop problem-solving strategies you can apply to new situations.
It's also valuable to find a tutor who is patient with the conceptual struggles that come with Honors Calculus and can adjust their explanations based on your learning style. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have expertise in Honors Calculus and can tailor their approach to your specific challenges.
Word problems require translating real-world situations into mathematical language—often the hardest part for students. A tutor can help you develop a systematic approach: carefully reading the problem, identifying what's given and what you need to find, sketching diagrams or graphs, and then choosing the right calculus tools (derivatives for rates of change, integrals for accumulation, etc.).
Personalized instruction helps you see patterns in how different types of problems are structured, so you build confidence tackling unfamiliar scenarios. Rather than memorizing solutions, you learn to think through the problem strategically.
Absolutely. Limits and continuity form the foundation of Honors Calculus, and struggling with these concepts often makes everything that follows harder. A tutor can help you visualize limits graphically, understand epsilon-delta definitions intuitively, and see why continuity matters before diving into derivatives and integrals.
Many students benefit from exploring limits through multiple approaches—numerical tables, graphs, and formal definitions—until the concept clicks. Working with a tutor 1-on-1 allows you to spend as much time as needed on these foundational ideas without pressure.
Results vary based on your starting point and commitment, but students typically see improvement in their ability to understand concepts deeply rather than just memorizing procedures. Many students report increased confidence tackling challenging proofs, better performance on exams that require conceptual explanations, and a stronger foundation for future mathematics courses.
Honors Calculus tutoring often helps students see how different topics connect—derivatives and integrals, rates of change and accumulation—which transforms how they approach problem-solving. The goal is developing mathematical thinking skills that extend beyond the course.
Different textbooks and curricula emphasize different approaches—some are more graphical, others more analytical. A tutor can work with your specific curriculum and textbook, making sure explanations align with how your teacher presents material. They can also help you understand how concepts are connected across different presentations, so you develop flexibility in your thinking.
Whether your course emphasizes limits, uses different notation, or approaches applications in a particular way, personalized 1-on-1 instruction ensures the tutoring fits your exact course and learning needs.
