Award-Winning Tutors from Northeastern University

I recently graduated from Northeastern University with a BS in mechanical engineering and a minor in Math.Math and engineering are two fields that get me excited, and I like to share the excitement with my students. I have been working as math tutor for the past 6 years at a community college. I have taught all levels of math starting from algebra all the way to differential equations and linear algebra.I work well with different types of students as well as adapt to different learning styles. I have helped most student improve their grades and get through with their math classes.In addition to my math skills, I can speak, read, and write Arabic and French. I can certainly help those who need to improve their language skills in both languages.

I recently graduated from Northeastern University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Behavioral Neuroscience. I currently work at a therapeutic school and pediatric therapy clinic in Chicago, but I have been tutoring since I was in middle school! Ive always loved teaching and have plenty of experience as a tutor, substitute teacher, teaching assistant, Big Sister Mentor, and Peer Coach. By working with so many different individuals, Ive learned to personalize my tutoring methods to best match each of my students learning styles and needs. It is important to me to get to know my students and figure out the best way to help them achieve their goals!Although I tutor in a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about math. It fills me with pride every time my students start to build up their confidence after weve worked together to turn a confusing concept into something they can master. In every subject I tutor, its important to me to find a way to engage my students and make the topic interesting to them.In my spare time, you can find me exploring the city, playing piano, drawing, swimming, biking, baking, or relaxing on Netflix!

Learning another language is a very valuable skill these days. As our world becomes smaller and we become more interconnected, the ability to communicate with each other is more appreciated and important. It takes effort and commitment, but it can also be a fun and exciting experience.I am committed to make your learning experience an exciting and pleasant one. We will work with grammar and pronunciation, but also speak about the subjects that interest you, current news, important issues that you care about.You will learn and became engaged in a new language and culture and I will do my best to help you make progress every day.

I'm currently studying computer science at Northeastern University. I have a full year of experience tutoring high school students outside Varsity Tutors. Working with students is rewarding because there is nothing better than helping someone else understand a difficult concept. We've all had those "aha!" moments, and it feels great to guide someone towards finding that.

Hi my name is Kara. I have been a teacher for grades 1-8 for past 8 years. I enjoy teaching and making learning fun! I have my dual masters in elementary education and special education.

I am a graduating senior at Northeastern University working toward a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. I have more than a year's experience of substitute teaching for grades K-12, and I have taught in less formal settings as a camp counselor, a youth mentor, and a captain on sports teams. I find great joy in teaching and helping others, and I especially enjoy helping people with their writing skills or ACT/SAT prep. I wholeheartedly believe that everybody deserves access to the most effective education and that learning is a lifelong experience, and I hope that my students grow to believe the same. By treating students with respect and attempting to truly make a connection with them, I get the privilege of seeing the enthusiasm light up in their eyes, which is a wonderful feeling. In my spare time, I love reading, writing, running, exploring the outdoors, and watching and playing all kinds of sports (especially Ultimate Frisbee and ice hockey).

I received my doctorate in sociology at the City University of New York. Over the course of my studies, I have taught more than 25 college-level courses to students with a wide variety of backgrounds in a number of subjects. This means that I have written exams, graded exams, published papers, presented papers, and designed entire curricula. My methods are informed by my research background in the problem-solving literature, my familiarity with recent developments in cognitive sociology, and my training as an expert chess player and coach. Using these methods, I have assisted hundreds of students improve their writing and critical thinking skills. But, those achievements are not as important as what I can do to help you. I am here is because I am passionate about helping students with their communication and problem-solving skills because I know that improving these basic aspects of our own thinking has profound consequences for how we relate to others and understand the world around us. In other words, my passion is to give you the guidance needed to help you develop expertise.

I am a current student at Northeastern University entering my fifth year. I major in Behavioral Neuroscience, minor in Nutrition, and will be applying to medical school next year. As someone who knows the struggles of learning unfamiliar content, I am passionate about helping students find ways to understand information that works for them! There is no 'one size fits all' in learning, and I hope to help individuals customize their learning experiences. I recently took the MCAT exam, and am well versed in subjects such as Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry (Inorganic and Organic), Physics, Psychology, and Sociology. I am able to assist anyone at the college or below levels of education with any of these subjects. I am a firm proponent of active recall, believing it to be absolutely necessary for retention abilities. I also like to use stories and personal experiences to help people navigate complex information and make connections where they wouldn't have thought to before.

I am a Northeastern University graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Psychology. I focus on tutoring math and SAT. Throughout my years, I have aided peers, friends, and other students in all levels of math. Mathematics is my favorite to tutor because it has always been fun and something that can be explained in a multitude of ways. Math makes sense and I love numbers and hope to instill this in my students. I would describe my teaching style as fun but stern. I tend to do a variety of questions but am aware of when students need breaks. I believe in active listening and communication, and incorporate this belief into my tutoring style.

I am an educator eager to bring students into the twenty-first century using a unique combination of education experience coupled withtwenty years’ business experience. I am dedicated to enthusiastic and dynamic teaching as a means of creating and nurturing a lifelong loveof knowledge in children. I have been teaching over seven years high school and middle school students and always encourage my students to take anactive role in their learning.I enjoy reading, sports, and spending time with my family. I am very active in school as a Class Advisor, National Honor Society Advisor, and Community Service Coordinator. I am also an active member of my Sorority (Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.) as well as in my church community.I look forward to providing any educational services to any student in need of assistance.

I'm majoring in Computer Science and Biology at Northeastern University, I like to dance, and my main goal is to help you achieve your goals.Teaching has always been a positive experience for me, so I am excited to engage with young, bright students and help them get where they want to be in life.I have two years of experience tutoring in Latin and one additional year of experience teaching dance. Instructing students, from five year olds to seventeen year olds, in these vastly different topics has taught me patience, focus, and how to handle the uniqueness of each student. Through teaching both Latin and dance, I have learned to plan efficiently and responsibly.I have strong interpersonal and communicative abilities. These characteristics, combined with my organizational skills and determination, give me a distinct advantage in getting through to my students.I am ready to be there for my students as a dedicated, compassionate, and reliable tutor. I'm still a student myself, so I understand how frustrating and tedious learning can be. That said, learning doesn't have to be tedious or frustrating. As your tutor, I'll do my best to make our lessons both enjoyable and effective. Thank you for reading this, and I hope to work with you!

Hi there! My name is Jake, I'm a chemical engineer by trade. I recently graduated with my Master's degree from Northeastern University in Boston and just moved to the area. I'm most interested in tutoring math (anything from algebra to differential equations), science, and SAT prep.

I am a graduate of Northeastern University, where I majored in Biochemistry and minored in Literature and Psychology. I grew up just outside of Worcester, MA, and I have tutored for several years. I started tutoring ninth-grade Biology when I was in tenth grade, continued with elementary school children in Reading, Math and Science, and most recently I tutored high school students in Boston in Chemistry, Pre-calculus and Algebra. I have always loved math and science. I tend to think of complex scientific concepts in words that I can actually understand, and many of my pupils tell me that I explain them better than their teachers, which is why I am so passionate about tutoring. I am currently applying to medical school, and a friend of mine asked me to help him prepare for the MCAT after he learned my score, and his practice scores have increased as a result. I am also a trained and certified EMT working in the greater Boston area. In my free time I train for my next marathon, play soccer and read.

I have studied Chemical Engineering for the past five years. I have had the opportunity to ensure the quality of silver and gold, plate silicon with conductive metals, and develop test procedures for lithium ion batteries. Somewhere along the way, I discovered that I really enjoy working with other students and sharing what I've learned.I started off tutoring a couple of neighbors in high school. Now I work with classes of up to eight. I prefer the smaller setting so that it doesn't feel like I'm assuming the role of a teacher or a professor. My areas of specialization are broad. I enjoy the sciences, maths, English language, and dabble in history.When I'm not tutoring, you can probably find me studying, traveling, or in the kitchen.

Hi! My name is Jeremiah, and I am a tutor who primarily operates with math and science. I am currently a freshman at Northeastern University, majoring in Behavioral Neuroscience. I have been a tutor for about two years, tutoring in an eclectic range of subjects in the math and sciences field. Please feel free to contact me if you would like. I look forward to working with you!

Hi! I'm a biochemistry major at Northeastern University. I love math and science, and like to work with kids and teens on those subjects. I have also worked in an ESL classroom, and am available to help with reading and writing skills. I look forward to working with you!

My name is Sumedha, and I am passionate about fostering love for learning in my students through personalized and engaging tutoring. With a Bachelor's degree in Biology from Northeastern University, I specialize in high school math and science subjects, including Algebra, Geometry, and Biology. I have over two years of tutoring experience, primarily working with high school and middle school students, where I focus on creating a supportive and adaptive learning environment.

Hello, I am currently a student at Northeastern University, studying business and communications. Throughout my schooling, I have helped a lot of friends and classmates understand many different topics and concepts such as economics, statistics, tricky SAT questions, and more! I really enjoy helping others get material to "click" in their minds, and I don't mind explaining content in a few different ways until it does.My goal as a tutor is to help students build their skill sets so they have confidence in themselves and their abilities, and I hope to pass on techniques and study skills that I have acquired over the years. Whether that means improving a student's standardized test scores or helping them with their general coursework, I'm always willing to help out.In my free time I enjoy figure skating (I have been skating for over 10 years!), trying new restaurants, participating in clubs around campus, and reading novels.

Hello! I am an undergraduate student at Northeastern University majoring in Speech Language Pathology. I enjoy working with individuals to build upon their strengths and give them the tools they need to succeed. I have good study and organizational skills, and I have many tips and tricks to help individuals improve test scores. I really enjoy helping people to reach their full potential in each subject area, and I will do my best to explain concepts in a manner best suited to each individual's learning style.

As an instructor, I believe that mastery is best served when students can find their stride. A tutor, or any instructor for that matter, should not only clarify difficult concepts, but help encourage an interest in the subject studied overall. Finding the best way to develop that interest begins with determining how best to grapple with difficulties. In so doing, I hope to spur students to a larger, surer understanding of the subjects they study.

For an enthusiastic student, there is always another question to prompt a new level of understanding. That is the outlook that gives me enthusiasm as a mentor. I have enjoyed watching smiles catch on each time that enough guidance leads a student to new realizations, and have been fortunate enough to see this happen regularly as first a US Peace Corps educator in Lesotho and then a substitute teacher/aid in the SAU 24 school district of New Hampshire. I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Northeastern University and therefore focus my tutoring on math. I currently offer tutoring for all middle school levels of math up through pre-calculus. My favorite subject to tutor is pre-calculus, particularly when it combines trigonometry with algebra. When meeting with students, I like to begin with a discussion of their goals and then guide them through a series of practice problems that ultimately covers their challenging areas. As you might have guessed from my opening sentence, I like to respond to their questions with questions whenever appropriate. In my downtime, I like to sing, play guitar, and cook recipes new and old.

I graduated from Emory University with a BA degree in Economics. I am now pursuing my MA degree for Applied Economics at Northeastern University. While in college, I was a TA for Principles of Microeconomics and Intermediate Microeconomics. With over two years of teaching experience, I am confident that I have the ability to be a great tutor to you. I love to offer what I know to assist students in their learning process and share my enthusiasm for the subjects. I look forward to becoming your tutor!

I am a first-year at Northeastern University and I am working towards a degree in Data Science and Business Administration with a concentration in management. My favorite subject is Calculus. I also enjoy writing. I enjoy tutoring middle and elementary school since I have younger siblings and am able to connect to younger people better.

I received my Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Dartmouth College and am currently working on my Masters of Science in Applied Math with a focus in Statistics at Northeastern University (completion in December, 2014). I have worked for many years as a tutor and teacher, starting when the chair of my high school's math department recommended me to a number of families during my junior year of high school. I tutored for two years in High School, then worked all four years of college as a tutor, study group leader and teaching assistant. My professional life was also in the field of education until I left to start my Masters in the fall of 2012. When a student realizes that they truly understand a concept (not just how to do it, but WHY it's done that way) is the greatest moment for a tutor and I consider myself lucky that I can continue to tutor while working on my degree. My favorite subject to tutor is Statistics, although I'm available for other subjects as well. In addition to tutoring, I enjoy cooking, hiking, camping, biking, reading, doing crossword puzzles, and playing and watching soccer.

I believe the fundamental goal of teaching is to foster learning. Learning takes place in many different contexts. Although everyone is capable of learning, a student's desire to learn is a vital pre-condition to effectively master new concepts and skills. I feel I can influence a student's desire to absorb information by understanding their learning style. People have multiple learning styles: some learn best in lecture atmospheres, some are more engaged by discussion, and others absorb knowledge best when they read and reflect on what they have read. The classroom setting can encourage or inhibit learning depending on the dominant learning style of each student. Accommodating different learning styles creates an atmosphere that is conducive to learning.In addition to addressing different learning styles, flexibility is also a critical component to teaching. As an instructor, it is my job to ensure that learning is taking place all the time which is accomplished by breaking down barriers and observing my student's behaviors. While being prepared for class is critical, it is important to be able to deviate from the plan in order to ensure learning is taking place. No two students or classes are the same and what worked for one class may not be as effective for another class. Even from one class session to another, their mood can change. Students have a lot of on their plate, and sometimes they will come to class energized while other days they may be disengaged. I feel it is my job to identify these moments and adapt the lessons to re-engage them, maximizing our learning opportunities.I see my job as a facilitator because I am creating an atmosphere of learning by guiding students and encouraging their participation through both in-class discussions and online discussion boards. I encourage learning by creating a relaxed environment for students, stimulating conversation about concepts being presented, and organizing material in a way that makes it easiest to understand. I treat subject matter as interconnected, emphasizing that everything students are learning fits together into a holistic understanding of the world, from which they develop their own personal worldview. This approach is accomplished by bringing in real world projects to my classes. When students work on a project that connects to the course material but also has real-life practicality, they put greater effort into their final product. They appreciate the chance to work on something that will be used by an organization (e.g., Submitting real grant applications) rather than just filed away or discarded.One of the most important concepts I hope to impart to students is that learning is a process that never ends. For me, the learning process includes improving myself professionally. I want to read more about formal learning theories to expand my understanding of how learning takes place. As I continue to instruct classes, I also aim to enhance my comfort and confidence in front of classrooms and audiences. Finally, I plan to experiment with different methods and means of presenting information to classes in order to improve the learning atmosphere I create for my students. I continue to grow my professional network and share best practices with colleagues whenever possible in an order to keep my material relevant and adapt with the times."Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."- W.B. Yeats

I am currently studying Computer Engineering and Computer Science at Northeastern University. I have always loved the sciences, and through my courses in college I have also gained a huge appreciation for math, and especially calculus. I find that teaching concepts I've learned is the best way to truly cement my understanding of it. One of the most satisfying moments for me is when an idea finally "clicks" for a student and they suddenly understand the material much better. I always strive to make that happen. While in high school, I gained a year experience tutoring a classmate in AP Biology. In college I have aced my math courses, including Calculus 1 (differential) and Calculus 2 (integral). I earned very high scores on the ACT by practicing on my own and I consider myself a very good test taker, so I understand the techniques to get high scores on tests.

I have a love for learning and a love for teaching. I have my Master's degree in Special Education, Learning Behavior Specialist I (LBS1) and Secondary English Language Arts certifications. My Bachelor's degree is in English from Northeastern University. I am also a Certified Behavior Instructor for students with Autism. Being in the top 15% of my Graduate school class and having graduated college with Summa Cum Laude honors, I know that hard work and dedication in education pays off. I hold myself to a very high standard in my own education, and I like to instill these same values in my students.I spend my days as a Special Education teacher for Chicago Public Schools, working with students in kindergarten through 8th grade. I have also been working as an independent tutor for the last few years. I have extensive experience working with individuals of all ages with a diverse range of needs, including those associated with Dyslexia, ADHD, Autism, learning disabilities, emotional and behavioral disorders, cognitive delays, and general literacy troubles. I excel in differentiation and the creation of successful learning plans for students. While I work in the field of Special Education, I also have experience in general education classrooms. I have tutored English and taught various classes (literature, composition, phonics) at elementary through high school levels. I have designed curricula, assessments, and activities. For over five years, I also worked for an academic essay assistance company, where I helped with academic essays ranging from middle school through post-college work.In my tutoring, I use research-based educational programs, while also integrating the latest educational technology to complement each student's learning program. I have access to applications and programs that are highly accredited and used in schools, and I believe that they not only provide additional practice, but they also increase student engagement. I create individualized and differentiated programs for students of all ages, learning styles, skill levels, and needs. I can simply help students with their homework or I can create an individualized plan to enhance other skills.I always want to make sure that students are satisfied with each lesson. I assign challenging homework but I never do so without providing the proper instruction and assistance. I will also provide you with progress reports as often as you prefer. I am flexible and I am here to help YOU!

Education is the greatest asset a person can have. It's important, but it should also be fun to learn. Many people think education in general is boring when they have to learn about something. I try to keep it light in nature, using humor to help the student be comfortable, but also assist them in gaining confidence while they learn.Using personal experience tends to be helpful also when tutoring. If the student can somehow relate, it is easier for them to retain the information.When I'm not trying to help someone learn, I enjoy spending time with my son reading, photography, wine tastings and crafting. Happy Learning

I have over a decade of experience as an educator and I've worked with students of all ages. I am certified as both English Language Arts for grades 7-12 and ESL for grades K-12. I earned my graduate degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages from New York University. I am passionate about teaching and believe in challenging my students while giving them the support they need to grow.

I am passionate about teaching and ensuring that my students can get something valuable out of my sessions.

When I was growing up, I had the fortune of having motivated, enthusiastic teachers that made the experience of learning something that I looked forward to every day. My one goal is to impart the same positive emotions that I developed towards knowledge onto the next generation of learners.

I am passionate about teaching students through 6th grade. I graduated From Wheelock College in 1982 with a BS. Degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. I graduated Northeastern State University in 2011 with a Masters Degree in Education that qualifies me to be a Reading Specialist. I have taught kindergarten through 4th grade and retired from as a special ed teacher in 2019. I am good at teaching Elementary reading and Math skills. I have been learning Spanish for 2 years and I also know Italian and French, so would enjoy using those languages to teach, or to teach those languages. I believe all students can learn, it is just a matter of finding out what learning style works for them. I am patient and compassionate and firm. I love to teach!

I am a second-year Political Science major and Mathematics minor at Northeastern University. I hail from St. Paul, Minnesota, but last year's winter here was still the worst I have ever seen. I am currently a member of the Northeastern Debate Society and International Relations Council, which includes participation in Model United Nations, and a featured columnist for the Northeastern Political Review, a student magazine. I have also previously participated in Mock Trial, Speech, Knowledge Bowl, Theater, and Band, where I played the alto saxophone. Last year, I volunteered as a tutor for SquashBusters in Boston, and I just started volunteering as an extracurricular teacher for Citizen Schools.I became a tutor for Varsity because I love being able to guide students towards success. Education is the cornerstone of our nation and our future, and if students are struggling, they absolutely deserve the help that a tutor can give them. I do not believe in teaching directly towards standardized tests; rather, I believe in giving students abilities that they can use not only to get high scores, but to help them develop stronger, more well-rounded skill sets. Things like grammar or writing skills are useful in any field, and I would love to inspire a student who hates math, as I once did, to embrace it and even study it in college. I think that every student has the potential for academic and personal greatness, and I'd be more than happy to help them realize it.

Before I was a tutor, I was a teacher, and before I was a teacher, I was a mentor. I have spent most of my adulthood working with students in some way, shape, or form. I've worked with a lot of students from various backgrounds and across ages. I've also tutored in almost every subject, but math is my specialty. In 2016, I received my Master's degree in Education from the University of Massachusetts at Boston. I was a licensed teacher when I lived in Massachusetts, and now I am teaching Algebra 1 in New Jersey.

I'm a recent graduate from Northeastern University. I studied finance and data science at Northeastern and have completely multiple internships in consulting at companies like PwC and FTI Consulting. I've remained a strong student throughout my time in high school and college, and I've tutored and mentored hundreds of kids through my university. I fully believe that any student can learn any concept with the right amount of patience and a determined mindset.

Mark's teaching journey began while he was getting his bachelor's degree in elementary education and computer science from Boston College. After landing his first job in the Boston public school system, he knew he was in it for the long haul! He has kept this first job for 23 years, even while he was earning his master's degree in teaching and math from Northeastern University. He is currently working in a new position in Natick, MA.Mark's tutoring style is centered on empathy. When working with students, he asks himself: "If I know nothing about this, how would I present this so it could make sense to the weakest performing student?" He gathers as much information about his students' learning styles as possible in order to plan the best path forward. Spontaneity and humor are also tools in his teaching repertoire. "Humor is essential for helping people overcome obstacles, in learning and in life," he says.While in college, Mark taught at a private learning center for children who struggle with learning differences. He also nurtured his love of film, music, and sports.Self-Bio:Graduated from Boston College with a double major in education and math/computer science.

My teaching philosophy centers around connecting with students through tailored approaches that address their individual learning needs. I am passionate about helping students find their voice in writing and developing critical thinking skills, ensuring they achieve academic success.

Hello! I am a dedicated tutor who loves helping my students grow and develop further understanding and comfort with English and Spanish reading, writing, and speaking. My experience in the field of education began while pursuing my undergrad degree at Northeastern University in Boston, where I tutored my peers in both Spanish and English. I continued to privately teach English while living in South America, and I teach private Spanish classes in my hometown of LA. My understanding and compassionate approach to tutoring provides a safe space for students to clarify and express their misunderstandings of the material, and I take great care to really understand and get to the root of the confusion or difficulty. I love seeing my students succeed, grow, and develop confidence within their ability to master these subjects.
