Aalok
BA Lehigh University
13+ Years Tutoring

I would be happy to help with whatever you need. I have a VERY diverse educational background. My degree, which is in Behavioral Neuroscience, consists of courses in Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, English, Psychology, Calculus, and Bio-Statistics, and I also took courses in Japanese, History, Chinese Religion, Philosophy, and Theater (performance and production).Another reason to choose me - I worked for and was trained by one of the country's largest tutoring companies for more than two years, and within that short time became one of their best and busiest tutors. Believe me, busy is definitely an understatement.In those two short years, I taught well over 500 students in a classroom setting (in person) and well over 700 students online (through virtual class rooms, Skype, Google, etc). I've tutored one-on-one (in person and online) to well over 120 students. I was able to teach and tutor that many students in two main ways. I was able to tutor that many students in such a short time because I excelled at teaching/tutoring and because I truly invested myself in my students' success. I'm bringing all that experience with me to Varsity Tutors.I am experienced in academic tutoring from grade school through college including graduate level.I also have experience working with students that are home-schooled - especially when it comes to preparing them for entering high school or college.While I cannot guarantee scores like the ones I have, I do promise my very best to help you get your highest score or grades possible!If you have any questions - please feel free to ask. I'd be glad to answer them.THANK YOU for considering me to help you/your family.

MS Yonsei University • BA Lehigh University
2+ Years Tutoring

I'm passionate about helping students because I believe everyone deserves the tools and preparation to build a brighter future. Education isn't just about learning facts, it's about discovering your potential, and I love being part of that journey. I've worked with students from all levels, from kindergarten through college and even graduate programs. Over the years, I've helped with a variety of subjects, but my specialties are SAT prep, SAT Subject Tests (Math II, Biology, Chemistry), Statistics, and Biology. Out of all these, I especially enjoy SAT prep. Many people think it's all about knowledge, but the SAT is really a mix of problem-solving, critical thinking, and understanding the test itself. Mastering its structure and strategies can make a huge difference, and I love showing students how to do that. I studied Biology at Lehigh University for my undergraduate degree and completed my Master's in Innovation at Yonsei University. My academic background taught me the value of hard work, curiosity, and persistencelessons I bring to every tutoring session. My teaching philosophy is simple: practice makes progress. Sure, explaining and lecturing are important, but the best learning happens when students can dive in, try things out, and connect the dots themselves. During sessions, I start with a quick, clear explanation, move into practice, and then review to make sure everything sticks. When I'm not tutoring, I'm probably watching or playing basketball. It's my favorite way to unwind. Whether I'm catching a game or hitting the gym for a pick-up run, it keeps me energized and ready to tackle whatever comes next. If you're looking for support with academics, test prep, or just building confidence in your skills, I'd love to help you reach your goals!

During my time at The College of New Jersey, I have tutored many students in a variety of mathematical subjects and discovered a keen interest in it. I was there for two years and now have moved to Lehigh University where I will complete a MA in Mathematics in May. During my time here, I have been a teaching assistant for the various levels of calculus offered by the university and have had the opportunity of teaching students of all levels. Thus, it is obvious that my favorite subject to tutor is, in fact, calculus, but I am quite experienced in all other areas of mathematics as well. Since mathematics is such a conceptual subject, I find that by understanding misconceptions and errata, one might gain a better appreciation for the subject. Under this philosophy, I wish students to understand their errors fully, rather than simply being corrected when mistakes are made. Beyond the classroom, I enjoy playing table tennis, video games, and reading.

I'm a recent graduate of Lehigh University who is extremely excited to begin tutoring. I was initially admitted into Lehigh's school of business and spent a year there before realizing my need to pursue my true passion for English. I graduated in only three and a half years with a Bachelor's degree in English as well as a minor in creative writing. Through my time at school I have peer edited countless papers, critiqued works of fiction, and written a considerable amount of my own material.Throughout my whole life I have spent much of my spare time reading books or writing creatively. My expertise is letters, words, sentences, paragraphs- how to create them, decipher them and think about them. If you have any problems with math, please do not consult me! Anything more advanced than multiplication tables is completely out of my jurisdiction. However, any struggle with the English language is firmly within my ability to remedy!I take a strong academic and social interest in global events, history, psychology, and much more. I constantly search for new information and am an avid learner with regard to both people and subject matter. I have a great deal of energy and am at times an irrepressible joker; some might say a class clown. When I am not in the classroom you are likely to find me playing soccer (played club soccer at Lehigh), basketball, or working out in the gym to ensure my health and fitness. I also love hanging out with my friends, listening to music, watching movies, and going for walks in the great outdoors.One thing that I am an expert in is connecting with people in order to make learning fun. I seek to foster a focused yet relaxed learning environment for my students in which their greatest academic potential can be realized. I am as fresh out of the hoop jumping competition of high school, standardized testing, and a prestigious university as it gets- and I want to help young adults who are in the same position that I've just been through in any way that I can.

I believe that science should be made fun and relevant. In my teachings I use as many real life examples as possible. I do not emphasize memorization, but rather an understanding of the process and the relationships that exist. If one tries to learn science by memorization, there is simply too much information. However, if one understands the relationships that exist between factors, then one can apply a consistent process to solve the problem.I believe that all students want to know their teacher/tutor is in it with them. I strive to establish a personal connection with my students. That means I let them get to know me as a person to some degree and not just as a teacher. Once this connection is established, learning takes place at a faster pace.I am willing to do whatever it takes to help a student advance as long as the student is willing to put the effort in themself. I believe that education must be self-owned - that students have to claim their right to an education by demanding to be challenged and working to meet that challenge.
