After a successful career in economic development, I chose to move to Medelln, Colombia in 2013 to pursue my passion for music which led to a Latin Grammy Nomination and the discovery of my passion for education. As a modern renaissance man, I possess a thirst for knowledge and new experiences; a risk-taker who fosters new ideas and desires to reach his fullest potential in all areas of interest.

I am very happy to be a part of Varsity Tutors and have the opportunity to assist others achieve their goals!A bit about myself: I graduated from Hamilton College in 2008, majoring in World Politics with a minor in Russian Studies. During my time at Hamilton, I was privileged to work with a refugee assistance group that tutored recent immigrants in English and helped them pass their citizenship exams. Working with groups of all ages I learned that establishing a comfortable environment for learning makes a big difference in helping people move beyond their discomfort in a topic and makes them more willingly to engage with the material. Providing a fun and constructive environment for learning is a strategy I believe in for anyone I tutor.After college I worked for the inventor of the Segway and coached high school baseball before moving onto my Master's program in the UK. I graduated with honors from King's College London in 2012 with an MA in Intelligence & International Security. Using my coursework and interest in local history I wrote a dissertation on the British military and political strategy in Boston before the American Revolution. My graduate studies abroad provided an excellent setting for working with students of all ages and backgrounds from around the world and increased my ability to work effectively with a diverse group of people.When I completed my dissertation I staffed a state campaign and for the last 3 years I have worked for a private non-profit focusing on issues of canine welfare. In this role I worked closely with local law enforcement and municipal governments on a variety of projects. I recently left this position to begin my service with the US Army Reserve.In my spare time I like to hike with my dog (Watson), go fishing from my kayak, watch movies, read with my 2 year old godson and spend some time at my boxing club.For me studying has always been about finding ways of completing assignments that utilize the strengths we each have. Even the most daunting tasks like a dissertation can be broken down into very manageable parts. With the right attitude and a good support system, I hope to help students find ways to approach new topics confidently and efficiently.

I attended Hamilton College where I studied Biology and Government and graduated in 2012. While in college I sang in both the college choir and an all-female a cappella group. I also had the opportunity to study abroad in Tanzania where I designed and conducted an independent study project. After graduating, I moved back to the Boston area and I am currently a student at Suffolk University Law School.I have had the privilege of working with students in both academic and non-academic settings. I was a tutor for second grade students while in college and watched my students grow into confident individuals with increased reading skills. I also worked as a sailing instructor for several years at a junior sailing club where I taught introductory racing, basic navigation, and basic sailing to kids ages 8-14.I strongly believe that all students have the ability to succeed in school with hard work and dedication. Much of that capacity for success comes from students believing in themselves, and I hope to encourage students to be confident in their ability to succeed in the classroom and in life. I have a passion and enthusiasm for learning that I want to share with others. By strengthening academic development, students can also strengthen personal development and I hope to use my experiences to help students be successful and reach their goals.

I am a law student at Fordham University studying international business transactions with a focus on the emerging markets in Asia and Africa. I also work part-time as a paralegal at a small Chinese immigration law firm. I graduated in 2010 from Hamilton College with a B.A. in Chinese and Comparative Literature. I spent the last year in Chengdu, China on a Fulbright Grant studying the emergence of legal aid as a resource to female migrant workers.I work with students of all ages and experience levels. I specialize in humanities and Chinese language instruction. Because I am currently a student myself, I can truly empathize with students' concerns and frustrations. My passion for the subjects I tutor enables me to enthusiastically engage with students, help them discover their strengths, and find solutions to their weaknesses. I love helping students achieve their potential and explore their academic interests.I love traveling, yoga, cross country running, eating interesting food (that others prepare, unfortunately, cooking isn't a strength), and spending time with my friends.

I am a graduate of Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in anthropology and English Literature in 2014. Since graduation, I have served one year as a K-2 literacy tutor with A Community for Education, and this past year I worked as a kindergarten teacher at IDEA Public Schools. I will be beginning a Masters Program in Education this fall at the University of Texas at Austin with a certification in teaching 7-12th English. My goal as a professional is to unite my love of literature with my passion for social justice to become an inspirational and effective educator of underserved preteen and teenage students. My tutoring style is very positive and encouraging, and centered around teaching my students in a way that makes sense to them. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, travel, and cooking.

Hi, I'm Ryan. I received a PhD in Human Disease Biology at Columbia University and am now a research scientist at Harvard. My expertise is in immunology and neurodegeneration. I have extensive experience tutoring students across high school, college, and graduate levels. My approach is to expedite students' ability to think beyond just memorizing terms and to really appreciate that biology tells a fascinating story about how our cells and bodies work.

I am currently pursuing a Masters degree in Elementary Inclusive Education at the Teachers College, Columbia University. I have ambitions to someday affect educational policy and administration - maybe I'll be a principal or school superintendent.In college, I coordinated a reading program with local elementary school students that took place once a week. I also tutored at my college's writing center, working with fellow college students to improve and enhance writing assignments in all disciplines and to strengthen basic grammar and organizational skills. I am excited to be a Varsity Tutor, instilling a passion for learning in my students through experiential, hands-on education that promotes critical thinking skills.I firmly believe that the provision of equal educational opportunities can help foster social equality. I emphasize inquiry-based learning because I believe that students learn best when they are invested in the material and can fully explore its relation to the real world. I am flexible and accommodating in my approach to teaching, allowing all students to reach their full potential.

As a graduate from Hamilton College, majoring in math and computer science, I am excited to share my passion for problem-solving, creative thinking, by helping students build confidence and curiosity in their own learning journeys. I am committed to connecting theoretical knowledge with real-world applications, which enhances comprehension and retention. By adapting my methods to align with each student's unique learning style, I aim to keep them motivated and invested in their education.

I received my Bachelor's degree from Hamilton College in Mathematics and Economics, and my Master's degree in Applied Financial Mathematics with a concentration in Actuarial Science from UConn. I am passionate about math and especially enjoy Algebra, pre-Calculus, and Calculus. I think that math can not only be made more accessible, but also fun!

I am a current student in the class of 2023 at Hamilton College where I am pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. During my junior year of high school, I volunteered at an under-resourced charter school in Germantown, Philadelphia where I tutored third grade students in math and reading. I soon learned to love working with kids, and decided to work as a camp counselor at a sleep-away sports camp in Brackney, Pennsylvania, the following two summers. At Varsity tutors I tutor elementary and middle school level math, reading, and writing, although I love teaching math the most!

Storytelling is my favorite thing. Exploring other cultures and languages teach us the stories of other people and allow us to share ours with them. I love helping my students find new ways to tell their stories, be it through languages, writing, or theatre.I have lived and worked all over the world, and have enjoyed learning about new cultures and languages each time. I have taught at international schools (IB) in many countries as well as private high schools (AP and IB) in the US, and both public and private universities in the US and France. Language, literature and culture are our bridge to understanding one another and I am honored and excited to be able to help open up those understandings to people at all ages and levels!

I am a graduate of both Teachers College at Columbia University and Hamilton College and an experienced tutor. I received my degrees in Psychology and Education and I am comfortable with all types of learners, including students with executive functioning needs or learning needs. I have experience both on Zoom and tutoring in person. I am most experienced with students aged 5-18, especially middle school and early high school. I tutor a broad range of subjects and am happy to speak with you to see how I can best help you or your child!

I'm a rising sophomore at Hamilton College, a very small but very good Liberal Arts School in upstate New York. I really enjoy it there because of the great selection of humanities courses - which are my primary interest - and the focus on critical thinking that's placed on just about everything. I believe that critical thinking is one of the most important skills someone can learn. Most of the subjects that I enjoy - history, government, political science, philosophy, etc. - are subjects that inherently deal with concepts and creations made by mankind, and thus they reflect man's imperfect nature. The ability to analyze these concepts and creations with a mind for the why, the how, and the strengths and the weaknesses is invaluable. Analytical and critical thinking is something I will push for in all subjects that I tutor, including mathematics, as it is equally - if not more important there. I'm not always such a nerd though. I love action movies and video games the same as a lot of people my age. I love indie music and I like to jam on my guitar. I also have something of a dry sense of humor, but I appreciate any and all jokes.

As a recent high school graduate from The Lawrenceville School, I understand how stressful and difficult school can be, so my hope is to make learning easier for you! I will be attending Hamilton College in the fall with an intended major in biology. I scored a 1520 super score on the SAT. The breakdown was 720 EWR and 800 math.

I love learning and I especially love the challenge of learning new things and pushing myself to be a better person. Coupled with my love of learning has always been a deep regard for teaching.While a student at Hamilton College, I was selected by professor recommendation to work as a tutor at the Quantitative Literacy Center, a job I held for three years. At Hamilton I practiced the ability to listen to my tutee, and then to assist my tutee in breaking down complex logical problems into simpler, manageable parts. A teacher must first and foremost have mastery of the subject material. A tutor must both understand the subject material, and understand the manner in which students fail to comprehend that same material. I pride myself on my ability to listen and understand what aspect of a concept is difficult for a student, even when the student cannot clearly articulate her own problem.In addition to my experience at Hamilton, I spent a summer teaching science to 4th and 5th graders with Exploration Summer Programs and a Summer teaching chemistry to 8th graders with Breakthrough Collaborative. In both of these programs I developed my own curriculum and planned all of the lessons. I learned how to explain concepts in an engaging and clear manner to a wide age range of students.While my traditional experience focused on the sciences, I am an avid reader and musician and am fully capable of tutoring a wide variety of subjects. As of late, I have been reading a lot of "Johns": Irving, Steinbeck, and Green.My other passion is music. I love singing and playing the guitar, cello, and piano.

I recently graduated from Hamilton College in Clinton, NY with a degree in Linguistics, and will be attending University of Memphis in the fall to pursue a Master's degree in Speech Language Pathology.I grew up in Lancaster, in Manheim Township, and was in the district's Spanish Immersion program.I believe the key to teaching is finding the method that works for each student. People learn in different ways, so teachers should be able and willing to adapt their methods as much as necessary to fit each student.I spend what free time I have writing fiction manuscripts, creating 2D and 3D art, playing with children, and rock climbing.

Hello! I recently gradated with a Master's in science from the Plant Biology and Conservation program at Northwestern University. Through teaching assistantships and grading I have gained extensive experience in teaching biological concepts to students. Biology is not straight memorization. To perform well on exams, you must be able to interact with and explain complex mechanisms. I aim to help you in doing so.In addition to biology I am able to teach math and writing; skills that I have honed during my undergraduate education, at Hamilton College (same guy as the musical).In my free time I enjoy training for marathons and collecting insects!

I am a graduate of Hamilton College, with a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and a minor in Cinema and Media Studies. I have a passion for teaching students English, writing analysis skills, and Literature, and have tutored these subjects to both middle and high school students in New Jersey, and college students in New York. In my lessons, I encourage my students to gain new insights and perspectives about literature, English, and various written works, especially when I teach them how to approach the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the SAT. I was previously a Teacher's Assistant to multiple Literature professors during my college years. When I'm not teaching and reading, I enjoy Latin dancing, blogging about media and entertainment, and analyzing cinema.

I am a graduate of a NESCAC liberal arts school, and currently, I work as a research assistant for a genetics lab. I have tutored many students and peers from a wide range of backgrounds. I primarily teach middle and high school students, but I minored in mathematics and was a TA for my college's math, biochemistry, and philosophy departments. I love helping others, meaning that you've come to the right place. We can work out those difficult questions/problem sets together!

I am a 1st Grade teacher in Brooklyn, NY and also have several years experience tutoring.

I am a graduate of Hamilton College in upstate NY and recently received my Master's degree in Physiology & Biophysics from Stony Brook University. I am a pre-med student with a Bachelor's degree in Economics with minors in Chemistry and Biology. I will be starting medical school in the fall and have experience in the application process. I enjoy providing advice and feedback to individuals who are on a similar track.I am the oldest of 4 children, therefore I have a lot of experience with helping young students learn, as well as a lot of patience. Most recently, I worked as a STEM instructor at Launch Math and Science Centers in NYC on the Upper West Side. That experience made me realize how passionate I am about engaging students in the STEM field and education in general and how important it is to make learning a fun process. I love tutoring students in math, science, and economics because I have a strong background and foundation in these areas. I also wish that I had been introduced to the STEM and economics fields at a younger age, therefore my goal with tutoring is to inspire the students that I work with. I love tutoring in economics because I believe it provides essential concepts for any field that a student is eager to pursue. For example, I have found economics to be extremely applicable to the healthcare field, which is one of the main reasons that I chose to major in it.In addition, I lived abroad in Morocco for 10 years and had the opportunity to help students prepare for their AP exams and applications to universities in the United States. My long-term career goals include going to medical school and becoming an Ob/gyn. I hope to someday treat women in underserved regions of the world. In the meantime, I enjoy working in my research lab, cooking, traveling, and kickboxing.

I am a former middle school Instructional Assistant with a passion for mathematics and logic. I currently work as a Financial Analyst in Tech. I have 9+ years of experience applying mathematics and numerous technical skills (including Python, R Programming, Tableau, Excel, Power BI) to provide insights and build valuable products.

I recently graduated magna cum laude from Hamilton College with a B.A. in Economics and Government, and I just finished my first year at Columbia Law School this past May. I ran several student organizations at Hamilton and gained a lot of experience teaching and mentoring younger students. I really enjoy getting to know my students and I like to bring a sense of humor to my lessons to help keep them engaged. I have tutored students ranging from 3rd grade to seniors in college and I have experience tutoring a variety of subjects, but my favorite subjects to tutor are Economics, LSAT prep, Government, Essay Editing, and Public Speaking. I also find advising on college or law school admissions really rewarding. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy basketball, football, hiking and the outdoors, movies, and cooking.

I'm Del, a lifelong communicator and tutor who's passionate about helping students express their ideas with clarity and confidence. I graduated magna cum laude from Hamilton College with a B.A. in Theatre and a minor in Anthropology, earning a 3.93 GPA and the James Soper Merrill Prize, the college's highest honor for leadership and character. Before college, I was an NCFL National Finalist in speech and debate, and at Hamilton I received a $10,000 public speaking award recognizing excellence in writing and performance. Those experiences taught me how to communicate with purpose and how to teach others to do the same. For three years, I tutored Oral Communication at Hamilton's OCC (Oral Communication Center), working one-on-one with students on speeches, presentations, interviews, and academic discussions. I helped students at every level strengthen their delivery, organize their thoughts, and speak with conviction. Those sessions taught me how to adapt to each student's goals, whether building confidence, refining structure, or mastering public speaking under pressure. If you want to grow as a speaker, writer, or critical thinker, I'd be excited to help you get there.

I am a senior at Hamilton College with a concentration in Literature and minors in both Hispanic Studies and Art History. I have had two years of experience working as an algebra tutor and find tutoring a really rewarding and exciting experience. Although I enjoy tutoring a wide range of subjects, I am especially passionate about Language Arts, Literature, Spanish, and Study Skills. I love helping students grow and become more passionate about learning, and try to bring creativity into all of my lesson plans. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading, hiking, fashion design, and social activism.

I began tutoring during my freshman year at Hamilton College, during which I volunteered at the local refugee center in Utica, NY. As an English tutor, I worked with the refugees to improve their written and oral language skills. This opportunity exposed me to the exciting and rewarding world of tutoring and motivated me to continue down this line of work. During my junior and senior years at Hamilton, I worked both as a German Teaching Assistant in the German department and as a Writing Tutor at the Hamilton Writing Center. As a T.A., I helped my students develop study skills, complete homework, and improve their German language skills. As a writing tutor, I worked with peers to strengthen their essays, develop writing techniques, and explore their ideas on paper.These experiences helped me learn the importance of patience, encouragement, and flexibility while tutoring. I feel best when I know my student feels more sure and excited about a subject. That's when I've truly done my job! I believe it's important to tailor each lesson to the student's personal learning style and interests. That way a subject becomes approachable and intriguing for the student, as opposed to intimidating and stressful.I currently live and work in Germany as the recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship. I work at local middle and high schools, teaching English to students and running an "American Group" in my free time. I am also a freelance Writing Tutor for an education consulting company in Beijing. These vast and varied experiences has exposed me to students of different ages, ethnicities, and abilities. I am always happy to accommodate my students personal goals and needs.When I am not working, I enjoy reading novels, playing the piano, hiking, horseback riding and travelling throughout Europe.

I have tutored students for 5+ years (since my final year of high school). I have extensive experience working with elementary, middle, and high school students. In the last 2 years, I have begun to work with first- and second-year undergraduate students.Mentorship and pedagogy were crucial to my success as a student. My ability to perform in my academic environment went hand in hand with my ability to be self-sufficient and think critically about the issues at hand. Through tech-based, visual and written tools, I aim to teach students to draw on many resources to answer any question they have, not just those at hand.I graduated from Hamilton College in May of 2023 with a Bachelor of Arts in Physics and Geosciences (double major). My academic interests include the physical sciences, mathematics (especially algebra and calculus), and space/earth/environmental science.Outside of academic, I like to play competitive online video games (LoL, Overwatch) as well as single-player management/multiplayer sandbox games (Astroneer, Space Engineers). I also am learning to garden and create pottery from scratch. I will be pursuing a graduate degree in a related physics/geosciences field within the next year or two.I look forward to working with you! Reach out with any questions about my teaching style and/or if you are curious if I tutor a specific subject that is not listed on my profile. :)

I'm a math tutor who focuses on helping students truly understand how math works, not just memorize steps. I believe that every student can succeed in math with the right support and approach, and I aim to make sessions clear, engaging, and confidence-building. My teaching style is patient and interactive. I break problems down into manageable steps and explain the reasoning behind each one, so students can see the "why" instead of just the "what." I also ask questions throughout sessions to encourage students to think critically and stay involved in the learning process. I work with students at different levels, whether they need help building foundational skills or tackling more advanced algebra topics. If a student is feeling stuck or frustrated, I adjust my approach, use simpler examples, and help them rebuild confidence step by step. My goal is for students to leave each session not only with the correct answer, but with the skills and confidence to solve similar problems on their own. If you're looking for a supportive and clear algebra tutor, I'd love to help!
