I have a PhD in Psychological and Brain Sciences from Johns Hopkins University and a BA in Psychology with a minor in History from Barnard College. I have experience teaching and tutoring undergraduate students and have volunteered as a high school math tutor. I have a strong interest in most academic subjects but I particularly enjoy tutoring math. I've made extensive use of statistics as part of my research on vision and attention so I'm in a good position to talk about how certain concepts are used in the real world. I'm also a huge bookworm and offer SAT Critical Reading prep as well as general tutoring for writing. My hobby is creative writing and I'm currently writing up parts of my dissertation for publication, so I can help with writing from literary analysis to history research papers to the writing aspect of lab reports. When I'm not reading or writing, I'm playing the hammered dulcimer and teaching myself to code in new languages.When a student is struggling I'm always on the lookout for issues that don't have to do with the specific subject matter, such as test anxiety, a lack of organization, of a belief that the subject matter will not be useful later in life. When it comes to the actual material, I believe that there is almost always more than one way to approach a problem and that students should figure out what works best for them. I've studied learning and memory extensively, so I'm always ready to offer up advice. Not everyone learns the same way, and that's fine! While it's ideal for students to gain a deep understanding of the material, when it comes to standardized and multiple choice tests, test-taking strategies make a huge difference. I've used these strategies very successfully in the past.

Hi! My name is Chelsea and I'm a current medical student passionate about making difficult topics understandable to all students. I believe that catering how I teach to different learning styles and making real world connections helps to break down challenging subjects. I specifically enjoy teaching subjects related to science, reading comprehension, and psychology but I have a strong background in many subjects.

I am a cybersecurity veteran with a 35-year career dedicated to protecting large-scale international organizations. My passion now lies in sharing that knowledge and helping others grow within the field. I focus specifically on CISSP tutoring, where I combine my broad industry background with a where I combine my broad industry background with a comprehensive breakdown of the CISSP domains, ensuring my students don't just memorize the material, but truly master the underlying principles of risk management.

I graduated with a B.S. and M.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Johns Hopkins University (GPA 4.0). I worked as a peer-learning session leader for Genetics and Physics undergraduate courses. I was also a TA for General Biology. I recently took the MCAT and scored in the 100th percentile. I look forward to using my experience, both on the exam and in teaching, to help you substantially increase your performance and reach your potential.

I'm passionate about helping students blossom through learning. With over 7 years of experience in a wide array of subjects, I focus on creating individualized learning plans to ensure every student's success. I emphasize important concepts while getting into the details of application. Every student can succeed through encouragement and nurturing of curiosity!

I'm Deepika, a physics and chemistry teacher at a college-level preparatory school, a computer science engineer, and a Master's in Science Education from Johns Hopkins University. I teach both advanced and regular courses, including ESL/ELL students, using project-based and inquiry-led approaches. I make science clear, hands-on, and fun, helping students understand the why behind the concepts. Every session is tailored to your pace and goals, so you can build confidence, problem-solving skills, and a love for learning.

I am a graduate of Emory University, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I then received a Master of Science from Johns Hopkins University where I focused on Biotechnology. I am currently pursuing my M.D. in Boston, MA. During my time in graduate school, I tutored middle school and high school students in science and math. I love tutoring science, especially health sciences as I am in school to become a physician. I also enjoy teaching math and I find it to be one of the most rewarding subjects to watch a student grow to understand. Throughout my academic career, I have taken the SAT, GRE, and MCAT so I am especially passionate about test preparation.

I am a 4th year medical student going into Internal Medicine. I joined varsity tutors, because I was excited for the opportunity to teach through their online platform. I've always enjoyed school and a big part of that has been the amazing teachers I have had along the way. I've always loved teaching as well, tutoring through different organizations during my undergraduate at Johns Hopkins University in Neuroscience and now at medical school at Thomas Jefferson University where I will get my M.D next year.After recently finishing Step 2, scoring above the 90th percentile, finding my groove through the arduous study process, I am excited for the opportunity to pass on my strategies to students studying for medical board exams. I have also been an SAT and MCAT volunteer tutor for many years and would be excited to teach the test taking strategies I have developed over that period of time. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology and chemistry, they have been my passions for a while and I have developed a strong foundation in the fields reinforced in medical school. I also would love the opportunity to help mentor any students interested in the medical professions, so please do not hesitate to reach out!

I am a sophomore at Johns Hopkins University studying Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. I tutor many STEM subjects, SAT/ACT prep, and AP/IB classes! In the years past, I've mentored two robotics teams and I have experience tutoring at my school and in my neighborhood. I deeply believe that an intuitive understanding of educational content is crucial to success, and I implement this philosophy by teaching problem-solving techniques and strategies in addition to the material. In my free time, I love to read, paint, crochet, and watch TV shows. :)

I have a passion for learning, so why not share my knowledge with other students just as motivated and excited to learn as I am!

I am looking forward to tutoring you. Whether you're a middle or high schooler needing assistance in math, english, or biology, I am your guy! Let me know how you learn best, and I will tailor tutoring to your needs!

My name is Jack, and I help students build strong fundamental understanding and apply concepts to new problems. I emphasize clear explanations and step by step reasoning rather than memorization. With over three years of university level teaching experience at Johns Hopkins University and the University of Michigan, I bring a supportive, approachable style while maintaining high expectations and helping students gain confidence and independence.

There is brilliance in each of us. Sometimes we miss a concept or have developed learning styles that keep our brilliance hidden. Others of us just need a coach. For those, the "studying" of a thing is much less exciting than the "doing" of a thing. My job as your tutor is to help you discover your brilliance by packaging your study so you can "do".

As a young kid, I struggled to find any passion in school. Thankfully, I had a series of teachers that really helped me find my stride and helped me enjoy my studies, and therefor succeed. I hope to be able to provide this same wonderful opportunity to any student I tutor.

I know you want only the best for your student! My services will improve your student's core knowledge as well as their test-taking skills. Synthesis is my strength, and I strive to pass it on.As a career scientist and writer, my greatest pleasure has always been sharing the joy of learning with others.In my own collegiate career, I was awarded the top two scholarships available to undergraduates, and I was honored with the Dean's Award for the College of Arts and Sciences upon graduation--the highest award available in the college .While in undergrad, I supported myself by tutoring collegiate student-athletes. Now I'm a masters student at Johns Hopkins University and continuing my work as a tutor.Tell me about your essay, your math class, or your killer essay coming up!

I graduated from the Johns Hopkins University in May 2014 with a B.A. in Chemistry and Biology, and I am currently a graduate student at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. My teaching experience spans several years and age groups. As a high school student, I volunteered as a teaching assistant for a middle school science class. During college, I spent six months as a GED tutor, working with adults. Later, I spent two years as an Organic Chemistry Laboratory teaching assistant. I am a friendly and outgoing person, and I really enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge with others. I particularly like working with middle school and high school students, as I can challenge them and help them build strong foundations during some of their most important academic years!

I have just graduated with a degree in Economics from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. My main focus was on financial models and health economics. I held multiple positions at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health where I worked with professors to conduct statistical research in the department of Population, Family & Reproductive Health. Before Hopkins, I received an International Baccalaureate Diploma in Geneva, Switzerland, where I studied higher level Math, Economics, English, and Physics. I also attended the Hopkins School in New Haven for grades seven through nine. I look forward to helping you reach your goals, whether it be for ACT preparation, Advanced Placement classes, or college courses.

I am a 4th year psychology PhD student and have taught introductory psychology and abnormal psychology courses at the college level. I am able to tutor in a range of subjects including Statistics, English, Science, Social Sciences (psychology is my favorite), and Math. I have experience working with students of all ages, including students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia. I am also able to help with test prep for the SAT or GRE.

Outside of tutoring, I enjoy cooking, playing volleyball, traveling, reading fantasy books, and watching many shows and movies :)}

My academic background is in engineering. As a female engineer, I was in the fourth graduating class that admitted women at Johns Hopkins University. However, the desire to pass on my love of math and science, and the ability to solve problems, prompted me to pursue a teaching career. Working for the past three years as a full time teacher, I have been able to pass on my love for the principles of engineering and problem-solving in a private school environment. I have taught high school math, from PreAlgebra up to and including AP Calculus, as well as science, including Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I love the educational environment and interacting with the students. There is nothing I like more than showing students that math and science aren't the "boogie man" they believe they are and encouraging them to pursue STEM careers. In my personal life, I have been happily married for over 30 years and have two grown and successful children. I love sports, particularly tennis, football and volleyball. I also jog everyday and live reading and watching mysteries, gardening and cooking.

I am a motivated student, working on his PhD in Mechanical Engineering. I truly enjoy working with students who are interested in the "why's". I love talking about the motivations of why we learn these subjects, and how they become useful in real life. I am particularly passionate about tutoring mathematics, chemistry, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics.

I received my PhD in mathematics from Drexel University in 2019. I really enjoyed teaching as a graduate student, and working as a tutor here seems like a nice way to get back into it. Before graduate school, I went to Johns Hopkins. I started out as a "chemical and biomolecular engineering" major, but then ended up switching to a double major in math and electrical engineering. I graduated with a BA in math and MS in electrical engineering. From there, I went to Drexel University to write and defend my dissertation in mathematics, which was about two unsolved problems in linear algebra. While in Johns Hopkins and Drexel University, I ended up teaching a lot of math and a bit of science not only as a tutor, but also as a teaching assistant and as a primary instructor. Since then, I've been working as a mathematician; I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Free University of Brussels for one year, and then as a research scientist at the Air Force Research Lab in Dayton, Ohio for two years. It's been a rewarding career, but I have missed teaching. When it comes to teaching, I try my best to take a flexible approach and meet students where they are. I am a big believer in the power of intuition and curiosity, so I try to teach in a way that nurtures both. I find that it is important not only to know how to get from problem statement to solution, but also to have some understanding of why the pieces fit together the way they do. Besides math and teaching, I enjoy singing, playing piano, playing online chess, and doing the New York Times crossword (and other word games). Lately, I've been trying to get back into running and yoga.

As an award-winning communications professional with more than 19 years of experience in journalism, public relations, and strategic communication, I am passionate about helping students become confident, persuasive, and ethical communicators.

My career has spanned roles as an Emmy-winning news anchor/reporter, Director of Communications, executive coach, and consultantexperiences that allow me to bring real-world insight to every tutoring session. I specialize in Journalism, Essay Writing, Ethics, Public Relations, and Marketing, and I love helping students strengthen their writing, sharpen their critical thinking, and develop a clear, authentic voice. My teaching approach is warm, structured, and student-centered. I meet learners where they are, break down complex concepts into practical steps, and provide encouragement that builds both skill and confidence. Whether a student needs support crafting a compelling essay, understanding ethical frameworks, mastering AP or college-level writing, or exploring careers in communication, I am committed to helping them succeed. Above all, I believe strong communication is a lifelong assetand it is my joy to help students grow into thoughtful, effective communicators who are prepared for both academic and professional success.

For many students, especially those with learning disabilities, ADHD, or differences in how they process information, this path can feel intimidating or out of reach. My mission as a tutor and mentor is to make the journey into medicine structured, attainable, and empowering by providing individualized academic support from high school through the premedical years, with a specific focus on MCAT preparation and long term success. I specialize in MCAT focused tutoring and premedical academic mentorship, working with motivated students who aspire to enter medicine and other health professions. In addition to content mastery, I emphasize executive function coaching. Many capable students struggle not because they lack intelligence, but because they lack structure. I work with students to create realistic study schedules, break large goals into achievable steps, track progress, and build consistent routines. Students learn how to plan weeks and months ahead, balance school responsibilities

My name is Skylar, and I am excited to meet you! I attended Johns Hopkins University where I received my MA in classics and BA in classics and archaeology. I have taken Latin and ancient Greek through the graduate level. I received a 5 on a number of AP exams while in high school, including AP Latin, AP World History, AP US History, AP English Language, and AP English Literature.For the past year, I was working at Pace University as an Academic Coach. I helped students with their coursework in various subjects as well as essay writing. I want every student to produce their best work, and I want to help you achieve this too!

I am a graduate of Johns Hopkins University with a Bachelor of Science in biomedical engineering, and a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh with a Master's in bioengineering. Stemming from my strong childhood interest in biology, I have worked for years in research labs focused on neurology. Writing, editing, and publishing, both research papers as part of lab work and pieces intended for lay audiences, has deepened my appreciation for the importance of excellence in writing - and not just in science. My study of Teaching as Research enabled me to excel as a graduate-level teaching assistant, where I enjoyed one-on-one time with students to help them refine their drafts into carefully-crafted academic papers. I think it is important to understand, to impart upon students, that knowledge is not just about facts; it is about seeing how individual pieces of information fit into larger frameworks, how those frameworks repeat across different fields of study, and how systemic thinking underlies mastery of any subject. In my off time, I volunteer at the Maryland Zoo, and enjoy reading, writing, long walks, and disc golf.

I am currently a Freshman majoring in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. Before attending the university, I went to a high school in Illinois called the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. There, I served as a Residential Hall Tutor, where I would serve shifts every day and help students in my residential hall who needed help on their homework or help studying for tests. In addition, I was a part of the school's PROMISE program that helped to foster interest in math and science among underprivileged and economically disadvantaged middle school students. I developed and taught curriculum to a group of 20 students.Throughout my tutoring experience, I have enjoyed tutoring math and chemistry the most. In fact, I loved it so much that I chose to pursue a major requiring chemistry.Outside of academics, I like to work out, play basketball, watch tv (especially the Marvel tv series on Netflix), and play video games.

Hey y'all! My name is Claire, and I am so excited to teach online this year. For the last seven years, I taught all over the country (Charleston, SC, Nashville, TN, Portland, OR, and Vancouver, WA) and also earned a master's degree in education from Johns Hopkins University along the way.I hated math as a kid because my teachers always made me feel stupid in class for not understanding right away. I became a math teacher because I saw how many people get stuck in their education and careers when they run into trouble in math class. Working with me, you will understand how capable you are and will never have to feel embarrassed for learning. Come to class to ask questions and learn with me!

I have a BA in Classics from Macalester College and an MA in Classics from Johns Hopkins University. I have highly certified in the state of Arizona for the following subjects: Latin,Language Arts, Chemistry and general science. I have been teaching for 9 years.IBM, the computer based company used to have a motto. It was "THINK". My philosophy of teaching is based on a belief that learning needs to be student centered and that students need to be equal partners in the learning process. My role involves using my expertise to put the necessary resources in the hands of the students or more likely to be sure that my students are well equipped to find and evaluate the resources they need to answer their questions. Just like IBM, I want to help develop my students' thinking skills and acquisition of knowledge.My general hobbies are golf and swimming. I am not the best golfer, but I find it fun.
