I am a graduating senior seeking to attain a Bachelors of Arts in Economics at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. Next year I will be working at Oracle based in Burlington Massachusetts. I am also pursing a minor in Computer Science and Child Studies and Human Development. In high school I was a volunteer tutor at my middle school where I tutored students one on one in overall homework help and subjects like algebra and earth science. In college, I am apart of Tufts Tutoring where I tutor local Medford High School Students. I also have a year experience tutoring students in Physics on Varsity Tutoring. I have tutored three students in overall homework help, Spanish, and physics. Even though I have tutored students in a wide variety of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor in are science and math. These are tough subjects for all students and subjects that I have struggled with in the past. Being able to help students like me that feel frustrated in science and math in school and in standardized testing gives me great happiness. Education and learning is so important and valuable and being able to help students through the tricky parts of it gives me great joy.

The very first student whom I tutored received a perfect score on the ACT. That is why I have continued tutoring for the past seven years. Throughout the course of my tutoring, I have had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of students from kindergarten to graduate school.

I'm focused on getting more research (and life) experience. Hobbies: reading, music, writing, art, books

I am a graduate of Indiana University Bloomington (IUB), where I earned Bachelor of Science degrees in Biology, Psychology, and Neuroscience. Through my experience as a student, undergraduate teaching assistant (peer tutor/AI), and research mentor, I learned that effective and empowering learning is mostly about HOW you study as opposed to HOW MUCH you study. My best teachers always taught me to focus on solidifying the big picture (high yield) concepts first and add in smaller (low yield) details afterwards. This practice of breaking down complex ideas into fundamental first principles made me understand just how powerful knowledge could be and how it could be used to solve the world's hardest problems. This made even the smallest and most tedious of details easy to learn. I applied these same concepts to my students with tremendous success. In the process of learning and teaching, I fell in love with fostering "aha" moments while sharing my most passionate academic interests with others. Ultimately, that's why I'm here at Varsity Tutors! I want to give all of you the best of the teaching experiences that I was given, as well as include the things that I always wish that I had. While I tutor in almost every subject, I'm most passionate about Spanish and the sciences. Spanish gave me an entirely new culture to explore and people to connect to, while science helped me understand just how incredible our universe can be. Consequently, both are near and dear to my heart. Shortly after graduating college in 2019, I started the Medical Scientist Training Program at the Indiana University School of Medicine. I am fortunate to be simultaneously working towards my MD and towards a PhD in Neuroscience. I want to use my career to improve our understanding and management of psychiatric conditions as well as to train the next generation of great thinkers and innovators. Outside of academia, I like to compete in Olympic weightlifting, travel, do outdoorsy and adventurous things, listen and dance to hip hop, and spend time with the homies. I'm constantly discovering new passions, and firmly believe that personal growth is just as important as academic development.

The world is not going to end if you do not get a perfect score. A perfect score should simply be a goal to strive towards. I believe in making mistakes. The best way to learn is to correct and review mistakes. This ensures that fewer and fewer errors are made in subsequent performances. Practice and discipline will lead to perfection. Those who do not learn from their mistakes are destined to repeat them.

Helping students build confidence is what motivates me. I've worked as a biology teaching assistant, research mentor, SAT, chemistry, and math tutor, and Science Olympiad coach, guiding students of all levels through challenging material. I recently completed my studies in biology, genetics, space biology, and astrobiology at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, and I'm continuing my research in these fields at UNC Chapel Hill. I tutor biology, chemistry, math, and test prep for the SAT and ACT, but biology is my favorite because of how directly it connects to real-world questions and the thrill of discovery. My tutoring style is highly adaptable to each student's needs. I often use active learning strategies like the Feynman Technique, encouraging students to explain concepts back in their own words to build mastery and confidence. I aim to create a supportive, low-pressure environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and tackling challenges head-on. Outside of academics, I enjoy music, writing, and exploring new topics in science and communication.

Hi, I'm Nina! I am currently a junior majoring in Electrical Engineering! I have experience working at a tutoring center and have done one-on-one tutoring in the past. Through tutoring, I have enjoyed seeing students understand new concepts and grow in their knowledge of the subjects. While I am flexible to teach a range of subjects, I specialize in Math, and can teach from Pre-K Math to Calculus 1 & SAT Math. When teaching, I prefer taking a hands-on approach, rather than a lecture/presentation style, allowing the student to recall the new information and interact with the problems. I make an effort to keep my classes focused, open to questions, and pressure-free. To relax outside of work and school, I listen to music, bike, and spend time with friends.

I am a graduate of Brigham Young University with a Bachelor's degree in manufacturing engineering. I am also a Salt Lake Community College graduate. I love building things, challenging the status quo, and studying the way the world works. I have tutored for just over three years, and I tutor physics, algebra, reading, and test prep. Physics is one of my passions because I love learning about the world around me. Physics is intuitive and learning the laws that govern the world around us helps expand our understanding. I am a very hands-on tutor. I believe that working directly with things and especially working on projects of interest helps us learn and make connections better than anything else. I love analogies, experiments, and anything else that helps bring the problems off the page and into the student's life. I love to invent and build things and I spend most of my spare time working on humanitarian teams through my university or sewing my own clothing.

I am studying Biological Sciences; I am also on the pre-medicine track. After tutoring Science Olympiad students in high school, I have learned to understand the material from a students' perspective. I try to anticipate the types of questions a student might have, and answer them to the best of my abilities. I also try to teach the same material using different learning styles to make sure my students fully understand the concepts. I like to play Tennis and Ultimate Frisbee during my free time. I play intramural Tennis and club Ultimate Frisbee at University of Tennessee. I also like to read, paint, and cook.

I have recently finished my BSc in chemical biology and MM from UBC, in the hopes of going to medical school afterwards. Therefore, I have scientific knowledge at a fourth-year level. I have also taken AP chem, physics, and calculus AB in high school, so I can also help with those and provide tips for the AP exam. I have expertise in all fields of science and math at the university level. I am willing to go through any concept that you are struggling with and come up with some practice questions to help you better understand the concept. I am very passionate about the subjects I'm learning and I want to help younger students also fulfill their potential and be more successful in the future. I can use different methods in order to make the concepts as easy as possible.
