Award-Winning Tutors from CUNY City College

Hi there! I'm a data-driven problem solver with a background in analytics, logistics and finance operations, and I enjoy helping students build confidence working with Excel, data, and structured thinking. Whether you're learning the basics or trying to make sense of complex datasets, I focus on making things feel practical, clear, and actually usable, not just theoretical. What makes my approach different is that I use Excel the same way it's used in real business environments: managing large datasets, solving problems, and improving workflows. I can help you go from core formulas and data organization all the way to advanced tools like PivotTables, Power Query, and building clean, structured reports and dashboards. Beyond Excel, I help students develop stronger analytical thinkinglearning how to break down problems, identify patterns, and approach solutions step by step. A lot of students don't struggle because things are too hard, but because they haven't been shown a simple way

With such a high demand for STEM in today's marketplace, there's a shortage of STEM education in many NYC public schools. My goal is to make a motivational impact on the minds of our youth in the same way I was motivated from high school onto college.In 2017, I graduated from the City College of New York with a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences and have since started pursuing my M.D. at the CUNY School of Medicine.I first began tutoring in high school through the MSPinNYC2 program, which is where I first discovered my passion to help others.Over the last few years, I've had multiple teaching and tutoring opportunities with students ranging from first grade to college, in both one-on-one and group settings. My main focus lies in biology, chemistry, and math. This fuels my belief that all students have the ability to understand and master STEM related topics!

I have graduated from CUNY - The City College of New York on Fall 2020. I am passionate about helping students since I was in high school. When I see students coming up with their own study techniques, it inspires me. I believe that every student is different. The same strategy will not work for everyone. My goal is to influence the student enough to come up with their own technique. A teacher can only open the door to knowledge, but the student has to be intrigued enough to go through the door.

My Name is Tiana Green. I have two Master's Degree, Bank Street College of Education in Math Leadership and Rutger's University in Master's in Public Administration. I have been an educator for 11 years as an elementary teacher. I have taught grades 1-6, primarily working with upper elementary as a mathematics teacher. I have a love for teaching mathematics, and this year I will be an instructional math coach at my school.I teach because I feel as if it is something I was meant to do. Interacting with students day to day and learning what makes them tick, what inspires them, what their struggles may be, and what truly motivates them is one of the most interesting and rewarding jobs there is. Plus, I get to teach one of the best subjects: math! I love helping kids learn math in different ways and I especially enjoy being a part of building their math confidence.

I graduated from Widener University in the spring of 2018. I received my Bachelor of Science in Physics with minors in Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering. As an undergrad I worked as a math tutor through Widener University's Department of Mathematics. I also tutored several chemistry, physics, and engineering courses. I will be starting a master's program in physics at the City College of New York this fall.

I have ample experience both as an adjunct and math tutor. I am comfortable teaching classes of up to 40 students down to tutoring a single student. My aim is not only to help students understand mathematics mechanically but also conceptually. I look for opportunities to connect a mathematical concept to something we use in our every day life.I have a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics from CUNY city college, an M.A in Statistics from CUNY Hunter college, and an M.S in Data Science from CUNY School of Professional Studies. During the day, I am a full time Data Scientist working in one of the largest companies in the world.

My teaching interests include reading comprehension, social studies, science. I have created some great test taking strategies for students of all ages and abilities.As a Special Education Teacher I understand the many challenges that a student will face when having difficulty with a particular skill or a subject that they are learning for the first time.I really enjoy seeing my students reach their potential both in and out of the classroom environment.

I am an electrical engineer from Brooklyn, New York. I possess a bachelor's degree (CUNY) and master's degree (NYU) in electrical engineering and specialize in power systems. I would like to share with you all of my problem solving knowledge I have acquired and develop you into a productive and confident student.Many students suffer from anxiety when dealing with math and physics and then decide to want nothing to do with these subjects. They feel like they don't have the mind to understand mathematical concepts. But I tell you that you have the potential and mental capacity to learn the math and physics you need to excel in your courses, pass your exams and move on with your life.Understanding math and physics is a matter of first discovering in which areas of the concepts are your weakness and then strengthen your understanding in these areas and move forward. I can help you understand concepts you are having difficulty with and develop you into a productive and confident problem solver. You will be very surprised and proud of the progress and success you make with just a little effort and faith. So let's get started! :)

As a bilingual teacher for students with disabilities, I believe that I can make a great impact on their lives by using techniques that can only achieve confidence and create hope in them in order to learn new skills. It is important that students trust and know that educators care about them and can connect with students by learning about their customs and culture. This will allow students to become more comfortable with learning a new language and not give up when mistakes are made.Most of the students that come to my class have multiple disabilities and they do not speak or understand the English language. At times this affects their behavior because they refuse to learn the language either because they are embarrassed for making mistakes or they do not understand the importance of the learning the language for their professional life. As an educator, my responsibility is to connect with them and show them that it is okay to make mistakes because that is how they will learn and achieve success. Teachers need to always improve their teaching techniques and be open to learn from students because what might be work for one student may not work for the other student. It would be an honor to become part of Varsity Tutors.

I am a young educator who seeks to blend both creativity and structure into an effective teaching practice. I work to inspire children and adolescents to explore what they are taught and to find meaning through the literature they read. I try to mold my teaching styles and strategies around the students I interact with to make them feel comfortable in our shared learning environment so that they can get the most out of our time together.

I started my career attending a military high school in Nigeria where I learned basic discipline such as being timely, planning my schedule, and leadership skills. I then proceeded to a 6th form school where I obtained an Advanced Level Certificate in chemistry, mathematics, and physics from the Cambridge university examination board in Nigeria. After my 6th form education, I moved to New York and started college at BMCC. I spent about three semesters at BMCC then I transferred to City College where I intend to obtain a bachelors degree in bio-medical engineering. My future aspiration after my BSC is to go to graduate school for my masters and PHD at Princeton University. I also intend to join the United States Army where I plan to practice my bio-medical profession by helping the disabled veterans. I took particular interest in math back in Nigeria where I tutored students preparing them for their GED exam. I also volunteered with New York Cares (NYC), and I tutored in projects like computer training for adult and math games for middle and junior school students. Volunteering at NYC helped improve my teaching skills and expose me to knowing how and why students are scared of math. My approach to tutoring has basically been student dependent where I work at the student's pace and ensure accurate learning in my teaching sessions. Also I make math feel like its alive by using life examples and approach. I love playing soccer and watching movies at my free time.

I am a second year in the Sophie Davis Program for Biomedical Education. I hold an Associates Degree from Bard College, which I obtained while still in high school. As a pre-medical student, I have a deep love for the sciences but I also love learning new things. My favorite subject to tutor would be Spanish but I am also proficient in English, Writing, Biology, and Algebra. I have been tutoring for four years and have experience tutoring elementary to high school students. I believe that when tutoring I should allow students to explain their confusion so that we can work together towards the advancement of their knowledge. Just lecturing or telling you the answer isn't enough! Outside of school, I love cooking, exercising, reading, doing research, and volunteering.

I consider myself an interactive yet patient tutor who will adapt to each student's needs and pace. I am eager to help students of all ages improve their language skills in Spanish, English and French!

I hold a B.A. in Communication from the College of Mount Saint Vincent and I am completing an M.A. in The Study of the Americas from The City College of New York. I'm passionate about the importance of the liberal arts in education and my tutoring strengths include all areas of English and Spanish, as well as US and Latin American history. I have more than 10 years of teaching experience, including 3 in Mexico, and there's nothing else I'd rather be doing. I currently teach ESOL as an adjunct at Westchester Community College and Borough of Manhattan Community College.

I am a recent master student from Columbia university. I graduated with a Masters in International Affairs. I have worked at the United Nations, European Parliament, and for a State Senator. My passion is political science and history. I am eager to help students develop their writing skills while deepening their understanding of history.

I am currently a creative writing major at The City College of New York (CCNY) and an aspiring poet, novelist, and playwright.I graduated from the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) with an Associate of Arts in Creative Writing with High Honors, and while earning my degree, I was the Vice President of CSN's Creative Writing Club and part of their editorial board for their literary and visual arts journal: Neon Dreams. I am also the winner of Steiner's Emerging Voices Scholarship for poetry and Neon Dreams' Monthly Writing Contest for poetry at CSN and the Goodman Fund Poetry Award at CCNY.Before earning my degree at CSN, I tutored students in English and math for the "No Child Left Behind" act which, in fact, had inspired me to go back to school and receive a formal education. Reading and writing are my passions, and I believe that anyone can find the joys of learning with the right attitude and proper motivation which is why I decided to get back into tutoring students.Apart from academia, I enjoy reading and writing (of course), listening to music, watching Broadway musicals and plays, exploring the city and, occasionally, revisiting old video games from my childhood.

Hey there! I am a programmer, writer, computer technician, and poet originally from Ghana, West Africa. I'm in my second year of college and pursuing a BS in Computer Science at the City College of New York. I have taken numerous college classes since high school such as Calculus, European History, and Physics. Additionally, I have completed a Data Strucutres and Programming course with a grade in the A range. I have been able to excel in these courses, by using online study tools such as videos and developing effective routines. I understand how frustrating it feels to spend so much time struggling to learn a topic and I also know how applying the right strategies to learning can make all the difference. For example, strategies such as close question analyzation can help students to mentally digest complex problems and help them assess the tools they can use to solve them.I look forward to helping all students to achieve more than they imagined and to develop the cognitive skills needed to succeed in the face of new challenges. Since my second year in high school, I have always searched out for opportunities to help others succeed in their courses. In my second year, I joined a club that assisted middle school students in preparing for their state exams. By means of persistence and effective studying techniques and continual practice, I assisted students to successfully complete both their Math and English state exams. Most recently, in 2019, I participated in a STEM summer program where I assisted middle school students to apply basic engineering principles such as prototyping to build various cardboard structures powered by Arduino circuit boards. I tirelessly worked to help all of them complete their projects and patiently worked with the needs of each student Furthermore, I assisted them in improving their critical thinking and problem-solving skills in order to effectively analyze problems and develop solutions to problems that they would encounter. I encouraged them to use the plethora of resources that are on the Internet to increase their knowledge. All these tactics enabled all 15 students I worked with to successfully demo their final projects.Currently, I am utilizing online resources to communicate with and assist students in math subjects such as Algebra and Calculus in programming languages such as C++ and even Middle School subjects. The students I work with have been able to successfully complete homework assignments and prepare for exams. I give each student an opportunity to assess their own knowledge first and then assist them, by means of questions and reasoning, to improve and master their coursework and gain skills. Helping students to successfully master concepts in their courses is certainly my top priority. I will work vigorously and effectively to help the students I tutor to achieve their highest However, this is not my only goal. I want to empower all my students to use all the tools and resources that are at their disposal to excel in whatever endeavor they take on. For example, when I work with a student on a problem I will not only help them understand and solve the problem at hand but I will teach them the techniques and strategies to solve similar problems, strategies such as problem deconstruction and examination. Truly, I want my students not only to reach for the stars but to get there and strive even farther.

I am a current civil engineering student at City College focusing on environmental engineering. I am a hard working and patient tutor who works with students from elementary to high school. I tutor all english related subjects as well as algebra 1. I have previous experience working at Khan's Tutorial as well as Child Center of NY.

I'm a multi-passionate artist, travel junkie, & life enthusiast capturing my creative journey- one pencil mark, painterly brushstroke, and photo at a time. As a mixed media visual artist from the Bronx, I have always loved exploring the possibilities of different mediums and techniques (e.g. micron black ink pens, charcoal, pastels, magazine strips, oil and watercolor paints). Art has always been my passion since my adoption and experiences in the foster care system. I take ideas hostage by scribbling or sketching them anywhere, let my ideas float around in my noggin and interact with whatever is already brewing for creative flow. In the past few years, I've incorporated collage and altered book making with my existing interests in topics such as nature, personal identity, and African American and Hispanic imagery.

I passionately teach to make an exceptional difference in my students' lives. My 15 years of teaching experience with a diverse population of all ages and levels in English and Spanish enables me to make success attainable for each student. My tutoring sessions are tailored to fit each individual's needs and goals. I enjoy planning and implementing content-based, result-oriented, engaging instruction by blending creative arts and disciplines that inspire each student to learn, grow and achieve.

As a medical student at the CUNY School of Medicine and a Full IB Diploma recipient of Yonkers High School, I have always found an affection for the learning community. As an older sister of two younger brothers, I have grown up tutoring and helping my brothers in all subjects focusing especially on English, Mathematics, and the Sciences. My passion for the medical sciences, chemistry, and biology led me to pursue a bachelor's degree in biomedical sciences and tutor in subjects such as biochemistry, immunology, virology as well as standardized exams like SATs and ACTs as well as IB Exams. My students have always appreciated my patience and dedication to helping them succeed and achieve their goals.

- Applied Mathematics & Economics Double Major- Professional experience spanning financial services- Unmatched tutoring experience for students studying mathematics and economics at all levels

Hi there! My name is Kehinde and I absolutely love tutoring. I am an exceptional student in all subjects, but I prefer to tutor students in mathematics. I have been tutoring students for 3 years now at various after-school programs. I also have 3 younger siblings so I know how to get kids to focus during sessions. Most kids find learning math to be boring but I believe that with a little bit of encouragement, they will excel in no time.

Tutoring is something I am incredibly passionate about. I have tutored for over 5 years and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Seeing a tutee finally understand a concept they have been struggling with is deeply rewarding. I also have been able to learn a lot from my tutees over the years. I hope we can learn from each other!

As a Teacher knowledgeable of the needs of Students With Disabilities, my duty has been to ensure the success of all students under my charge. I've been very adamant about advocating for better placement, accommodation, and services for all students, as SPED pedagogy is not only beneficial to SPED students, but general students as a whole. I have been mindful of the 60/40 Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) compliance compositions, Individualized Education Plan (IEP) setting compliance, and above all, delivery of services by a SPED instructor.

I am currently an electrical engineering student, graduating this fall, for a BE at The Grove School of Engineering: The City College of New York.As a student I have gained a plethora of experience helping others learn material for advanced level classes such as Physics, Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra and more. Often times, my colleagues and I would form study groups where we would have to learn, and teach, material much like a tutoring session.I've spent time explaining material from Calc I, Calc II, Calc III (which also ties into AP Calculus AB and BC), Physics I, Physics II, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra among other variations of math. Out of these I would say I enjoy teaching Physics because it fills a void of conceptual understanding that is often lost in years of rigorous education. This subject is applicable to the real world -- it's much harder to ask the question, "When will we ever need this" when physics is used to solve everyday problems and is directly applicable to the world around us.My teaching philosophy is simple. I put myself in the place of the student. I would not want to be given false information -- I want to understand the core concepts and understand how to solve problems without headache. This means that as a tutor I don't like to disappoint. I start by explaining core concepts that tie into many different types of problems. Understanding core concepts is the key to success, so that's where I like to start. I don't like shortcuts to problems because the same problems could have a slightly different variation, so the same shortcut used before may not work which is why understanding general concepts can help solve a problem even if the answer isn't clear at first. Conceptually understanding material is very important because it gives us intuition and general problem solving skills that carry over into other areas. If the student understands these concepts, I go onto practice problems and many variations of them to test their understanding of these concepts.However, I will most likely use the problems and work provided by the students specific teacher/class because every teacher teaches a different way, and the work given by a specific teacher may not be exactly the same as another teacher.There are of course times where I've forgotten concepts or new concepts I've never seen are brought up. In these cases, both I and the student benefit. I will have to relearn the material and this is when explaining it becomes much more natural. Starting at the same base point as the student makes it so that we are both involved in solving the problem and therefore both learn.Besides school related areas some of my hobbies are weightlifting, playing guitar, and video games. I've been weightlifting for around 4 years now, and have been constantly working on my personal health and image ever since. I am dedicated to this hobby -- going to the gym around 3-4 times a week, and follow a strength training program. I have learned plenty about physical health and the proper way to stay active, get stronger, and push yourself without getting injured.I played electric guitar for 4 years in high school and recently started playing again on and off. I learned by myself through online tutorials and enjoy playing many different types of music from Red Hot Chili Peppers to Metallica. Besides playing music I listen to a wide range of music from Classical to Metal.As for personal projects, I've taken up programming as a side hobby. I've started to develop some video games for my own enjoyment but also as a tool to learn new programming languages while getting familiar with tools such as GUIs.

I am a graduate of City College of New York and University of Houston. I have my undergrad and first graduate degrees in Economics and my MBA from UH. I am excited to be a part of Varsity Tutors and bring my passion for teaching to those who may need a little help in understanding the concepts.

I currently maintain a strong GPA while taking part in several activities. I got the opportunity to take part in a Biology and Biochemistry research lab, as well as become a Research Associate at Brooklyn Hospital. I am currently a member of the Alpha Epsilon Honors Society, and a Collegiate Health Service Corps Fellow. Secondly, I am a Peer Mentor for incoming biology students. I also became the treasurer of the Medical Roots Project, which is a nonprofit organization that focuses on the underserved population by providing pop-up clinics. Moreover, I am part of a major African Dance group called TRYBE. For a form of income, I began tutoring in math and chemistry. Lastly, I recently began working as a Pharmacy Technician. I take pride in educating individuals from different communities and I hope to dismantle the barriers that prevent students from receiving the best education possible.

I am passionate about teaching math to high schoolers. My specialty is being able to connect Mathematical concepts to real world and simplifying complex problems in order for the students to feel confident with their math knowledge.

I have a Master degree in English and am licensed in K-12 to teach ESL. My specialty includes helping children develop their vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure. I have 10 years of experiences working with elementary students and 2 years tutoring English to students of all ages.

My love for English began in my childhood reading Tony Hillerman, R.L. Stine, and Mary Higgins Clark. At the High School of Fashion Industries, my English class read Macbeth - "You should be women, and yet your beards forbid me to interpret that you are so..." My English teacher, Dr. Bobo, would call me to read with her, and we intertwined together like in a dance. No other student reached my enthusiasm. I am a graduate of Hunter College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Film and English. I also graduated from City College with an M.S. in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). After graduation, I began to teach ESL as an Adjunct Instructor in Canal Street. Languages are amazing because they are pieces (letters, sound, words) that students need to put together to use in practice. I love teaching pronunciation, reading, writing, and listening. With students, I am patient and answer all their questions. To have fun, I use games, you tube, songs, and movies. Learning English or improving someone's English definitely improves a student's quality of life in America.

I am a mechanical engineering student who will graduate from The City College of New York this December. I hope to pursue a career in the energy industry once I graduate. I believe that this industry is the key in helping improve our environment for future generations and I hope to be involved in its effort to expand technologies in renewable energy.As an engineering student, I learned that knowing the right answer is not necessarily the most important thing. It is more important to learn how to solve a problem. When I encounter a problem that seems impossible, instead of simply giving up, I go back to my basics. Instead of focusing on what I do not know, I look at what information is given to me. I also look at the problem from a different angle to see if it is another way to solve the problem.I hope to teach students that despite how challenging a problem may appear, they shouldn't feel discouraged. They should know that there is always a way to solve it.

I am currently studying at the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education. This is an accelerated BS/MD program in CUNY City College. I am in my third year and am currently taking medical school courses. After my fifth year in City College, I will be transferring to a participating medical school in the northeast region. I have been a private tutor for the past five years. I have worked with students of all age ranges in many different subjects. Though I am passionate about science, I tutor Math, English and Writing. I have found my niche to be helping students be confident and prepared for standardized tests such as the SAT, ISEE, etc. I believe that it is not always about easily knowing the right answer, but learning the steps to come to the correct conclusion. When I am not studying, I work in a psychology lab and explore places around New York City.

Hello, my name is Ayana and I currently work as an ESL teacher at a high school in Queens. I work in mixed content classes so I am not solely experienced in teaching children the English language but the subject of English as well. I also have a background in French. I love children of all ages and I am certified by NYC DOE to teach K-12. I am currently attending City College to get my Masters in Education. I would be seeking work for the summer months. That was a mouthful, message me if you have any questions!

Hi there! My name is Zach. I'm a PhD at Harvard studying German philosophy and classics (Greek and Latin). Next year, I will be starting law school to pursue my professional passion, tax law. I am deeply committed to the language and LSAT skills I've developed and I love to tutor students of all levels in these subjects. I can't imagine a life without teaching. My favorite part of teaching is helping students come to love -- or at least appreciate -- the details that make up complex subject matters. My favorite moment with any student is when the student realizes how fascinating a subject matter is after really mastering all of the "dry" details. When my students start internalizing the LSAT or languages I am teaching them, I know I am doing my job.I graduate summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from CUNY Macaulay Honors College in New York City, and started teaching undergraduate and graduate classes during my last year there. At Harvard, I have earned the Derek Bok Certificate for Excellence in Teaching three separate times. I have taught students as young as 14 and as old as 85.German: I studied abroad in Osnabrck, Lower Saxony and Berlin, where I earned my C2 certificate (near-native proficiency) in German. While in Germany, I took classes, taught in German, on Greek and Latin philology. I have taught beginning, intermediate, and advanced German at both regular and intensive paces at Harvard and CUNY.Greek and Latin: I am standing faculty at the Greek/Latin Institute, a famously intensive classical languages boot camp in New York City. I have taught students from all around the world and at all ages there. I have also taken all of the most advanced Greek and Latin coursework at Harvard.I studied comparative literature (French, Italian, and English) as an undergrad alongside my studies of classics. For my masters degree, I had to pass a three-part exam at Harvard on the history of German literature. My knowledge of literature is broad and deep!I earned a 174 on the LSAT (99th percentile).Ready to get to work and dive into the weeds? Want to know more about what working together would look like? I would love to hear from you.

I am a medical student in the US. I graduated from City College of New York, with a dual-Bachelor's degree for Biology and Psychology.

I am a student at The City College of New York, working towards my Bachelor of Science in Biology. I started tutoring when I was in high school and have tutored students from elementary school through high school. Despite tutoring for many subjects, I am mostly passionate about Math and Science but also love to teach English. In my years of tutoring students, I have found that consistency and active recalling have helped my students improve greatly in their academics. Additionally, I create learning plans personalized to each student to help them learn based on the students' effective learning style while creating a positive environment for students to build their confidence. I implement regular communication with parents and students to ensure both parties' needs are met whilst adjusting my teaching as needed. As someone who prioritizes education, I hope to influence my students to think the same through consistency and persistence.

I graduated from CUNY City College with a major in Biomedical Engineering and a minor in Mathematics. I have vast research experience in the fields of Biomedical Imaging, Neuroimaging, and Biotechnology. I have worked in places such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Lincoln Labs, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, National Institute of Health (NIH) Clinical Center, Columbia University Medical Center, and Nathan Kline Institute of Psychiatric Research conducting research. Through this research, I have published 6 journals article publication and one report. I also plan to start my Ph.D. in Medical Physics at the University of Wisconsin Madison later this year. I am also currently working as an Assistant Research Scientist at New York University (NYU) teaching pre-college prep courses to incoming College students (High school students). The courses I teach in this varsity tutors platform are Biomedical engineering, College Physics, College Math, Engineering, Computer Programing, Programing Languages, Math, Physics, Python, Science, and Technology and Coding. I like to teach courses by trying to find real-world applications of the theory taught in classes. I also ask students if they have any problems they want to go over together to bring them before to the session beforehand.

My interest in mathematics dates back to my years in middle school and high school, where I excelled in Mathematics. My mother was a high school math teacher so I was naturally inclined to the love of math. In college I decided to go into a more challenging field other than math, and so I decided to major in computer engineering. I am still in the process of achieving my bachelor's degree in engineering, and I also hope to achieve a minor degree in mathematics, which after my undergraduate level, I will go into graduate level to pursue mathematics. I like to tutor students in various aspect of mathematics because, I just like them, had someone in my early life help me understand that mathematics isn't something to be afraid of but rather an impressing way of expressing one's self and helping solve daily life problems.

Hi, I am currently a 3rd year Ph.D. student in Mathematical Modeling in NY. I have a B.S in pure mathematics and a M.S in Applied and Computational Math. My friends say that they love my energy. I enjoy what I do or play and those things are mathematics and soccer.
