For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a teacher. I believe that teaching is more than a job, more than a career; it is a calling. Making a difference in the lives of others is important to me. I can't think of another job that offers that opportunity as much as teaching.

Steven

Biology Tutor • +9 Subjects

As an undergraduate, I was privileged to attend Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois. Knox's small class size and emphasis on senior faculty teaching introductory courses made a lasting impression on me. I learned to learn in a collegial atmosphere.As a graduate student (MS & PhD) at Ohio State University, I successfully taught for my entire graduate career. I was nominated several times for the Excellence in Teaching Award. Working with and being a student at a large state school helped round out for me the variety of educational experiences available to students.From both large and small schools, I have adapted those traits of those teachers who most positively influenced me. In my teaching over 20+ years, the following points of emphasis come to mind.1. All students are individuals. They deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. This is a shared responsibility.2. Love of the subject and knowledge of the subject I am teaching go a long way to imparting the true excitement of learning. I have mastered many fields and work to intersperse "real-world" examples into my teaching.3. A Russian author said, "You can teach anything to anyone if you truly understand it yourself." I believe that. I work hard to truly understand the subject and choose not to try to teach a subject in which I am not fluent.4. In my teaching approach, I try use the Socratic Method to show the student that he already knows the answer to his question. I do this by directed questioning, leading the student from beginning to middle to end in a logical progression. The result is a student who learns to have confidence in himself and in applying the information he has already mastered.5. I receive back from teaching students more than I put in. I am constantly overwhelmed and gratified by the feeling I get from seeing the expression on a student's face when he finally grasps a difficult concept.

Kelly

College English Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a caring, passionate, and innnovative English language arts and writing teacher who is ready to help children with any and all of their verbal, reading, grammar, or writing needs. I am a graduate of Providence College, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English, taking many pre- and post-1800 English courses, including Victorian (19th c.) literature, Shakespeare's Tragedies and Romances, and a survey course on Geoffrey Chaucer and his contemporaries. I also took many elective courses in creative writing and theatre outside of my major requirements, such as: Theatre Appreciation, Public Speaking, Oral Interpretation, Short Story Fiction, and Prose Poetry. I recently graduated from Stony Brook University with my Master of Arts in Teaching English. At Stony Brook, I took graduate English courses such as 20th Century American Poetry and 20th Century American Fiction, while also completing teaching courses required for certification (Special Education, Human Development, Methods of Teaching English I and II, and Foundations of Education). I am now certified by New York State to teach grades 5 through 12, though I have also worked with younger age groups as a substitute English teacher at Riverhead Charter School (Calverton, N.Y.) and St. Edward the Confessor (Syosset, N.Y.). Currently, I am employed as a fifth grade English/Math co-teacher at Riverhead Charter School, where I differentiate instruction for many students with disabilities while meeting the learning standards of Common Core for all of my students. However, I am not one to sit still and in my free time I would love to help other students improve their ELA skills and also learn to love writing and reading for its own sake. I look forward to hearing from anyone interested in my tutoring help!

I am a recent graduate of Hope International University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Human Development with a focus on counseling and biblical studies. I am applying for Graduate School this summer, so I can further my education in Psychology and Cultural Anthropology. My passion is listening to and working with children; and, I hope to become the kind of therapist that families, including our soldiers and veterans, will come to when they need help. While I have been working on my education, I have spent the last several years as a para-educator teaching children of immigrants in California for the "No Child Left Behind" program at an elementary school. I also edit and tutor writing composition for individual clients in middle school and high school using APA and MLA formats, focusing on good research methods, proper citing, and correct bibliography and reference pages. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Math, and test prep. I've always felt a great joy when my students experience their "aha" moment. They have just received something that belongs to them for the rest of their lives - knowledge. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be the key to a high quality of life; and, I try to impart this appreciation to my students by being a good role model, since I am also a student. I teach good work ethics, responsibility, and accountability so my students will not only gain an education, they will be productive and dependable adults one day. I love spending time with my teenager, swimming, drawing, volunteering for Feed The Children and Save Our Beaches. One of our goals is to create the best mac 'n cheese "known to man."

Graduate Test Prep Tutor • +30 Subjects

I received my B.S. in Biology from Villanova University in May of 2012. Throughout my four years of undergraduate college, I tutored hundreds of students in a variety of subjects. A month after my graduation from Villanova, I was on a plane to California to start work on my Master's degree. I studied Entomology at the University of California, Davis and conducted a field research project that investigated how pesticides affect honey bee behavior. I also worked as a teaching assistant at Davis and co-created and taught a course about current issues related to beekeeping and bee conservation.I finished my M.S.in Entomology at the beginning of 2015. I have a sincere love of learning and find great joy in helping others achieve their academic goals. I believe a teacher must be patient with their students and truly understand what issues they face in order to effectively communicate with them. I strive to cultivate a positive teaching environment that inspires my students with the same passion for learning that I have.I have recently focused on tutoring standardized tests including the GRE, SAT and ACT. I most enjoy tutoring the GRE because of the complexity of its questions. I love teaching students how to see through the tests tricks and pitfalls, while also analyzing the subtle clues provided by the questions. Other subjects that I have experience tutoring include math up to calculus, biology, statistics, essay composition, chemistry and physics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many students can perform matrix operations mechanically without grasping why those operations work or when to apply them. Personalized tutoring bridges this gap by having tutors ask guiding questions that help you discover the underlying logic—like understanding why matrix multiplication isn't commutative, or how determinants relate to geometric transformations. A skilled tutor will help you see matrices not as grids of numbers to manipulate, but as representations of linear transformations, making the concepts stick and transfer to new problems.

Showing your work in matrix algebra does more than just earn partial credit—it reveals where conceptual gaps exist and makes it easier to catch computational errors. Personalized instruction helps you develop organized problem-solving strategies: writing out intermediate steps, clearly labeling row operations, and explaining your reasoning. This practice builds confidence and helps you debug your own work, skills that are essential for success on exams and in higher mathematics where complex problems require careful documentation.

Yes. Different courses emphasize matrix algebra differently—some lead with computational skills, others start with linear transformations, and some use applications like computer graphics or data analysis. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors experienced across various curricula and textbooks, including traditional approaches and more modern, applied-focused ones. Your tutor will align with your specific course requirements and teaching style, whether that means mastering Gaussian elimination for your linear algebra course or understanding eigenvalues for a differential equations class.

Word problems involving matrices challenge students because they require both problem interpretation and matrix skills. Personalized tutoring helps you develop a systematic approach: identifying variables, setting up the matrix structure that matches the problem's relationships, and interpreting your answer in context. Tutors can work through applications like systems of equations, network problems, or Markov chains—showing you the patterns so you recognize similar problem types and build confidence translating between words and matrices.

Matrix algebra is rich with patterns that make it more manageable once you see them. Key connections include: how row operations relate to determinants and invertibility; how eigenvalues and eigenvectors unlock the behavior of transformations; and how matrix structure (diagonal, symmetric, sparse) simplifies computation. Personalized instruction helps you notice these patterns by solving problems strategically and revisiting concepts from different angles, turning matrix algebra from a collection of isolated rules into a coherent system where ideas reinforce each other.

Math anxiety often stems from feeling lost or making repeated mistakes without understanding why. Personalized tutoring addresses this by working at your pace, celebrating small wins, and breaking complex procedures into manageable steps. Your tutor creates a judgment-free space to ask questions, correct misconceptions immediately, and build competence incrementally. As you master individual skills and see how they connect, your confidence grows—you move from "I don't get matrices" to "I understand how this works and can solve these problems."

Realistic outcomes depend on your starting point and commitment, but students typically see results in 4-8 weeks of consistent work. Common improvements include: mastering computational accuracy in row reduction and matrix operations; understanding when and why to use specific techniques; solving applied problems more confidently; and improving exam performance. Beyond grades, many students report a fundamental shift—matrix algebra becomes less intimidating and more logical, helping them succeed in follow-up courses like differential equations or linear regression in statistics.
