Hi, I'm Cindy! I'm a freshman at Harvard University and graduated from San Mateo High School this past year. I love to teach and have years tutoring students of all ages in a variety of subjects. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or would like to schedule a tutoring session!

Hello! I have over 6 years of experience in educational settings with all ages. I am friendly, reliable, and most importantlycommitted to helping you learn! It is my top priority to create a positive learning experience that will help boost your test scores without boring you to tears. After all, shouldn't learning be fun?

I love helping students build confidence in math, STEM, and the standardized testing process! I'm looking forward to working together to find the learning method that best suits you. Breaking down complex ideas to understand them bit by bit can help you love these subjects as much as I do!

As a passionate educator with a Doctorate in Law from Harvard University and a Bachelor's in English from Hampton University, I bring over 5 years of tutoring experience across various subjects, including College English, Public Speaking, and Bar Exam preparation. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to express themselves and develop critical thinking skills. I strive to connect with each student by tailoring my approach to their individual needs, fostering both academic success and personal growth. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring new cultures, which enriches my teaching and allows me to share diverse perspectives with my students.

I have spent the past decade working in education as a teacher, new teacher trainer, and tutor. I specialize in English across grade levels and for new learners and writers and test preparation.My goal is build skills and confidence, and make the learning process fun. Please get in touch if interested!

Hi! I'm recent graduate of Harvard, and I'm really looking forward to getting to work with you. I have experience tutoring high school students in a number of subjects, including math (Algebra 2 and Precalculus), English, History, and Spanish. I also have helped students write and revise college essays and supplementals. Additionally, I have experience with public speaking as captain of the Harvard Mock Trial team, which has awarded multiple times at the national championship. I'm happy to help with whatever you're looking for, and I feel strongly about catering my tutoring to each individual student's needs. I look forward to getting to work with you!

I am a Master of Divinity student at Princeton Theological Seminary. I graduated Harvard College in 2016 and was a peer tutor at Harvard. Before Divinity School, I taught high school and middle school debate and was an SAT/ACT tutor in Birmingham, Alabama. I then taught middle school debate at Success Academy in Harlem and served as a healthcare advocate. I have extensive experience tutoring English, math, science, and SAT/ACT at the middle school through college level. I have tutored students who went on to be accepted into Ivy League universities. I also am highly skilled at working with students with learning differences such as ADHD, autism, and dyslexia as well as students from under-resourced communities. I look forward to helping your student not only excel but also enjoy learning!

For the past 7 years, I have been working with students of all backgrounds to improve learning outcomes and foster test taking confidence. I recently graduated with my PhD in Marine Science from the University of California Santa Barbara where I studied the population dynamics and ecology of biodiverse kelp forest ecosystems. I received my BA in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology from Harvard University. I have a strong passion for the sciences and engaging students in critical thinking about our world. I have extensive experience tutoring students in SAT prep, biology, calculus, algebra, and more at Collegebound Tutoring Services in Santa Barbara, and I am eager to continue to share my insights and strategies so that students can make their academic goals a reality. I am also an experienced college science teacher, having taught laboratory classes at UCSB in invertebrate zoology, biometry (biostatistics), and introductory biology. As a tutor, I am patient, methodical, and invested in the aspirations of all my students, and I work collaboratively with my tutees to tailor an individualized plan for success. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking dishes from around the world and spending time in nature, whether by hiking, kayaking, sailing, or biking.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.I have several years of experience tutoring elementary and middle school students across all subjects, with a focus on reading, writing, social studies, and math. I have also worked with high school students in english, history, visual arts, and SAT preparation. I am TEFL certified and enjoy working with adults learners studying English, preparing for the GRE, and pursuing lifelong learning.

I recently graduated from Harvard Graduate School of Education, where I studied Human Development and Psychology. I am very passionate about education, and especially in student motivation and learning effectiveness. Growing up in China, I have rich experiences in test taking and learning strategies, which led me to Peking University, one of the two top universities in China. I would be thrilled to help you where I can! Feel free to reach out to me if you need help in Math (Primary through high school Math to GRE Math) or Chinese (speaking and/or writing). I am looking forward to learning, growing, and improving with you!

I am a recent graduate of Harvard University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with an emphasis on screenwriting. Although I love literature and writing, I am most passionate about tutoring math. I have five years of experience as a math tutor, during which time I helped students ages 3-17 with math ranging from basic arithmetic to pre-calculus. My favorite math topic is algebra, particularly because of its usefulness in solving real-world word problems. In addition to mathematics, I find joy in teaching/elucidating Shakespeare to high-school students. As a classically trained actor, I find it fun to tackle Shakespeare’s dense texts from a performance and character-driven perspective. In my spare time, I enjoy vegan baking and roller-blading.

Hello! I am a PhD student in Literature at Duke University. I have been tutoring (and directing tutoring programs) for years and am looking forward to working with you to meet your goals! I have spent nearly every year since college tutoring in some capacity, including as a volunteer through my current church. I enjoy the challenge of discerning the best way for each particular student to understand and absorb information, and am always thrilled to see when they regain their confidence in their own abilities.

I am a passionate certified educator with over ten years' experience working with children and teens ages 8-15 including teaching, tutoring, summer programming, and mentoring. I truly believe that each student has an optimal learning style and can reach his or her full potential by understanding and utilizing specific strategies aligned to that style. Above all, I care deeply about making learning relevant, meaningful, and fun!

Emerson said that the secret of education is respecting the student. I have the greatest respect for that part of the human spirit that is curious and wants to learn. I find that if students feel they are listened to and heard, this allows them to feel encouraged. When they begin to understand that learning can be fun, the whole process becomes exciting and joyful. We are all curious and like to learn.

Hi there! I'm Jasmine, and I love helping students become confident problem-solvers. Whether you're working through a challenging math or physics concept, exploring astronomy, or crafting a compelling college application essay, I'm here to help you succeed. I studied physics and astrophysics at Harvard, where I developed a deep appreciation for both analytical thinking and creative exploration. My teaching philosophy centers on curiosity: I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable asking questions, making connections, and exploring ideas from different angles. I strive to make lessons engaging, supportive, and tailored to each student's learning style. My goal is not only to help students master material and achieve their academic goals, but also to build the confidence, creativity, and independent thinking that lead to lasting success. Let's work together to make learning rewarding, empowering, and fun!

I am a classroom instructor, one-on-one tutor, and academic coach with over a decade of experience working with elementary age students (K-6), undergraduate and graduate students in the Northeast and on the West Coast and across seas. I look forward to working with you to achieve your academic, personal and professional goals.

I'm an energetic and experienced ESL teacher with an extensive background in teaching middle and high school, as well as college. I love helping people reach their goals - that's why I became a teacher! I believe in a wholistic approach, where we work on communicating and listening in tandem. All our lessons will be fun and tailored to what you need.

I am a graduate of Yale University, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience. While I tutor a broad range of STEM subjects, I am most passionate about helping students achieve their best possible score on tests like the ACT and MCAT.

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and I am studying social studies with a focus on Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. I have lived my whole life until college in the incredible countries of Rwanda and Kenya (with one year in Egypt). Since education wasn't easily accessible to me through elementary school, very early on I had to learn how to love learning and teach myself. Even after many years of more formal education I haven't lost that spark and that ownership of my education yet! I love tutoring because it allows me to bring people into that same kind of ownership of their knowledge. I love tutoring all sorts of different subjects, but I have the most experience (and maybe the most love) for tutoring in calculus, French, Arabic, English as a second language, and test prep!

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'm Ashlie. I'm a recent Harvard Economics and Psychology grad from Southern California. I've spent the last four years doing research on health policy and economic inequality, but what I actually love is the moment something complicated finally makes sense. I'm straightforward and patient as someone with a younger sibling currently going through the high school experience. I am comfortable tutoring in many areas like various instruments, english, varying levels of math (including AP Calculus courses and test-prep), economics and psychology (obviously), and I take all of it seriously regardless of the level.

I am currently working on my Ph.D in Developmental and Educational Psychology at Boston College. Prior to BC, I received my graduate degree and training in Education from Harvard University. I have six years of teaching experience at the middle and high school levels, and I specialize in working with struggling students and students with learning/developmental disabilities.I make it a priority to meet my students where they are in their academic progress, and to work with them to set short-term and long-term goals. I prioritize working to develop logical and generalizable ways to address questions and problems, as this makes it easier to know which strategy can be used to solve them. I also work with students to learn about learning itself -- to understand the ebb and flow of knowledge acquisition and to take challenge and failure in stride. I value a growth mindset stemming from both hard work and having fun!

I graduated from Harvard University with a magna cum laude in History in 2012. After graduation, I went to Taiwan to teach English. I had a lot of fun there, and picked up a conversational level of Mandarin Chinese, but after two years (and four battles with food poisoning) I decided it was time to come back to America. I took the LSAT in September of 2014, and have been tutoring it ever since.I have a wide array of interests, and can tutor a number of different humanities subjects. However, my favorite subject to tutor is LSAT preparation. I feel like I built up a huge amount of personal knowledge and strategy in my own study process that I want to pass on to others. I love History, too, though. I am currently in the law school admissions process, so if you have any questions, I can help you with that as well.

I graduated cum laude with a BA in History and Literature of England from Harvard and spent my junior year at the University of Bristol in England, where I was lucky to add Irish History and Practical Theatre classes to my schedule. I hold an MFA in Acting from UCSD and am an Associate of The London Film School. For much of my adult life, I have been a professional actor dividing time between classical work, new plays, and investigative theater. I have taught classes in acting, public speaking, Shakespeare, and Devised Theatre at UCSD, The Shakespeare Theatre of NJ and in diverse locations as a member of the NY based theater company, The Civilians. No matter what I'm working on with students --reading, writing, public speaking or study skills-- I hope to foster a love of learning and to encourage a curious and inquisitive approach to the world. I believe passionately that proficiency in the language arts empowers people to communicate with clarity and conviction in all aspects of their lives. Fanatical about good stories and good books, I love to read and see movies or plays or tune in to talk shows on NPR. I'm a foodie and an avid traveller and would probably always rather be on Cape Cod.

I am a writer, journalist and professor. I also have extensive experience working with students of all ages as well as professional staff in large government, corporate and non-profit organizations. These include corporations, hospitals, government agencies and top officials in them. My goal for all of and myself has been: Let's Do Our Personal Best to Get Our Best Results.This doesn't mean a drill-sergeant approach to improving your writing, but more so a personal style of helping achieve your personal goals by alleviating your fears and frustrations while replacing them with confidence and a plan for yourself.In my 33 years as a college writing professor I have taught - and still do - in-person and online. The subjects include journalism, research and report writing, memoir writing, technical writing, business writing, creative writing fictional and non-fictional, short-story writing, constitutional law, political science, and historical/cultural analysis.I have been writer for the Associated Press as well as weekly and daily newspapers and magazines. I have a graduate degree from Harvard University and an undergraduate degree from Southern Connecticut State University.

I hold a bachelor's degree in Political Science and Economics from Columbia University, an MBA in Finance from Harvard University, and a law degree from the University of London. With a strong academic foundation and experience as a Wall Street investment banker, former City Comptroller and State CFO, I bring both theoretical knowledge and real-world application to my tutoring. My goal is to simplify complex concepts, build confidence, and help students achieve their academic and professional aspirations.

My name is Elliot, and I have been teaching Spanish, French, and English/ESL for several years. I have a BA degree in Spanish Language and Literature from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Masters degree in Spanish Language and Literature from Harvard University. I also have a graduate certificate in Translation from Brandeis University. I enjoy teaching languages to students of all ages and making learning a language a fun and interactive experience.

Hey everyone! I am currently a Junior at Harvard University majoring in East Asian Studies with a specific focus on Japan and Japanese media. On campus I am also President of the Harvard College Japan Initiative, a student-run organization that devises an annual Japanese career fair and works with several Japanese companies and groups to run programs both here in the U.S. and in Japan. I also work at the Yenching Library on campus in the Japanese Collection. In my spare time I like to consume Japanese media (games, novels, movies) that I buy on my trips there, act, and practice martial arts.I have been tutoring in a variety of subjects for over 10 years and am extremely passionate about teaching and education. Sometimes students need assistance tailored to their specific needs and situations that regular classes cannot provide, and so one of my greatest joys tutoring is being able to give one-on-one, specialized help and the little extra push that they need to help them shine. My mother is a former teacher and so from a very young age I've always been drawn to education, and my love for tutoring is just one manifestation of that.I'm very approachable, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about anything! I'm really looking forward to working with and getting to know some of you!

I am a graduate of Oberlin College and Wesleyan University and I am currently a PhD student at Harvard University. I received my BA in English, my BM in Jazz Studies, and my MA in Ethnomusicology. My PhD research is in West African music. I have many years of experience as a tutor, beginning as a writing tutor for a college writing center, then giving private music lessons, and working as a teaching assistant for undergraduate students in music and African studies courses. I tutor in many different areas, but my passion is in working with students in writing, literature, critical reading, music, and French. In working to prepare students for standardized tests, I can offer a wide variety of strategies for vocabulary, writing, and time management. As an educator, I am particularly interested in the transitions from high school to college, and from college into the professional world. Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing and listening to music, hiking, playing soccer, and spending time outdoors.

I'm a recent graduate of Harvard University, I've been tutoring for about five years now. I come from a public high school of 240 students in middle-of-nowhere rural Connecticut. Plain and simple: I wouldn't have made it to Harvard without finding a way to enjoy studying for the SATs and other tests. My goal is to share that enthusiasm with my students. The test might be frustrating, and it might seem pointless, but I insist that every hour spent on SAT prep is a priceless investment in your future. (...and I have an economics minor!)

Math and science don't have to feel scary or boring and writing doesn't have to feel impossible. I'm a biochemistry and biology tutor who loves turning "wait what?" moments into "ohhh, that makes sense." My style is interactive, patient, and very visual. I focus on understanding the why, not just memorizing facts. As a graduate of Harvard University with a Master's in Global Health and a Bachelor's in Public Health from UT Austin, I bring a strong academic foundation to my tutoring practice. With over 2 years of experience in tutoring and classroom settings, I specialize in subjects such as Biology, Biochemistry, and Creative Writing. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive learning environment that encourages curiosity and critical thinking. In my free time, I enjoy reading and creating art (recently started block printing), which I incorporate into my sessions to make learning engaging and relevant. Let's make learning fun!!

My name is Yu Wen and I am a strong believer that anyone can learn anything! I attended the University of Pennsylvania as an undergraduate and recently finished my Master's in Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. As a tutor, I create a space where my learners can feel empowered and safe to take on the sometimes difficult, yet often fulfilling and fun, challenge of learning new things. I practice a growth mindset philosophy, and I often say that it is okay to be wrong, it just means you haven't learned the material... yet. With patience and effective pedagogy, I strive to give my students confidence that they can learn anything they set their mind to. I take my students' desires, motivations, goals, and interests seriously. Fun fact: I am an international student from Malaysia!

I recently started teaching through Varsity Tutors, and before starting here I have had extensive teaching experience both in and out of the classroom. I have taught ESL here in the U.S. as well as in Morocco, Nicaragua, and Spain, both to classes and in individual lessons. I have also taught Spanish and Italian, and practiced conversational French with interested students. I am passionate about seeing my students progress and gain confidence over the course of our lessons together, and I really enjoy getting to know them and their interests, which helps guide my teaching approach. I hope to inspire in my students a love for languages, music, and excellence in English writing, as these are things that I am most passionate about.

I graduated from Harvard College, where I concentrated in Statistics and minored in Economics. I have been tutoring ever since I was in high school and love helping students master the material they need to learn for their classes and standardized tests. While I was at Harvard, I also ran a tutoring business called HSA Tutoring. There, I helped hundreds of students prepare for their standardized tests, and I ran several summer programs teaching high school students about business and entrepreneurship.

I recently graduated from Harvard University with a B.A. in Comparative Literature, as well as a secondary field in Gender Studies and a language citation in Arabic. I have tutored, taught classes, and facilitated workshops on subjects ranging from SAT prep to chemistry to spoken word poetry, and I especially enjoy working with middle school and high school students. I firmly believe that tutoring can and should be funeven SAT prep! Working with a student individually allows the two of us to team up to tackle the material using a range of strategies until we find an approach that works for this particular student. My favorite subjects to tutor include writing and editing, whether we're working on a research paper, a college application essay, or reviewing grammar; public speaking; SAT prep; and study skills and organization, because each of these areas boosts overall academic success and builds a student's self-confidence. In any subject, I focus on study skills, critical thinking, and independent concept reinforcement so that soon the student will no longer need me to excel. Some of my own favorite subjects to study include languages (I've studied Arabic, Spanish, Latin, and a sprinkling of Japanese), medieval history, and electrical engineering. When I'm not tutoring, I spend my time writing and performing spoken word poetry, riding my bike around Boston, and learning to cook.

I believe language is what makes us uniquely human. It equips us to convey thoughts and concepts in myriad ways. I'll work hard to help you understand language essentials--phonology, morphology, syntax (aka grammar)--and improve your writing. Whether you're interested in crafting a creative piece, honing a term paper for a class, or perfecting your college application essay, my comprehensive approach will empower you for success!

I come to tutoring and teaching with an eclectic background. I'm a dual citizen of France and the US, and grew up in Geneva Switzerland. I've worked with think tanks, governments, the World Economic Forum, and even on Wall Street. Trained in political science (BA, Harvard; MSc, London School of Economics), I have a passion for history and the French language. My goal is to meet you where you are on your learning curve, and with kindness and humour help you move closer to your goals.

A little bit about me: I grew up in Connecticut and attended prep schools there before going to College at Harvard where I earned a BA in Political Science. After working for a few years in management consulting, campaigning, and policy work, I went to the Yale School of Management where I earned my MBA. After business school, I worked in finance in NYC at a "bulge-bracket" firm before leaving to pursue entrepreneurial interests in the New York tech scene.Tutoring Background: In college, every weekend, I worked with high school students who were attending the top schools in the Boston area. The program focused on extra-academic enrichment primarily in the humanities and social sciences and was affiliated with Harvard's Department of African and African-American Studies. Upon graduation, I volunteered working with students in Watts (Los Angeles) to help them prepare college applications and personal essays. During this time, I also mentored students on preparing for interviews with top management consulting firms. Finally, during my time at Yale, I served as 2nd-year teaching assistant for the Competitive Strategy and State & Society core classes. In this capacity, I helped 1st-year students (whose ages ranged from 24 - 40+) understand the material, graded assignments and exams, and provided reviews for students. I also served as one of the coaches on the 1st-year debate team.Subject I tutor: I tutor Economics (micro and macro), Finance, GMAT and SAT prep, Writing and Public Speaking. I am most passionate about microeconomics and have taken many classes in the subject area in college and business school. I think it provides a very logical and analytical framework of understanding many of things we observe in every day life and thus is incredibly helpful and engaging.Tutoring Philosophy: Everyone is different. My goal is to understand what your specific needs are and to tailor my style in a way that will produce the maximum level of success for you. Commitment and hard work have no substitutes, but the plan of attack should be specific to the student.Interests and hobbies: Technology, basketball, soccer, podcasting, film and television and finding the best cup of coffee in New York, Grantland.
