Hi - I'm Peter. I've always had a preference for math and science, which explains my undergrad choice in engineering. I graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I received my MBA (Industrial Management) from the Wharton Graduate Division at U. of Pa. My primary work experience prior to teaching was in business planning and finance (more math). I started teaching because I enjoyed helping students at Baruch College prep for graduate school entrance exams (GMAT, LSAT, GRE). Later on, I aided community college students to break through their difficulties in basic math, algebra, quantitative literacy and statistics/probability (remedial math courses). Many of these students were the first in their families to attend college. I've been teaching math for 25+ years, both in a classroom setting and, more recently, on-line. I prefer to use a whiteboard and other visuals to present the problems and explain the methodology and steps that lead to the solution. If you are my student I would encourage you to first think through the problem and work it through on your own whenever possible, as it helps to foster self-confidence. Then I can step in and assist where I can to guide you to the correct solution. I like to put myself in my student's place in order to understand what hurdle(s) they need to overcome to solve the math question. I can explain approaches to the solution in several ways until it makes sense to you. I am available pretty much during the week or on weekends from late morning until early evenings and can make exceptions when necessary. I would be happy to hold an initial exploratory session at no charge just so we can get to know each other and agree on what we can accomplish together.

My goal is to make students develop passion in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). I will not only make them plug numbers into equations, but will relate these equations with real life situations and arts. I believe through this technique of teaching and learning, students will excel in sciences and mathematics, and arts as well.

Hi!I'm a graduate of Norwalk Community College in CT and am currently attending RPI.I achieved an Associates degree in Engineering Science from NCC and am now pursuing a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering at RPI.I was a tutor for a year and a half at NCC and the subjects I tutored were Math (low to high level), Physics, and a bit of Chemistry.I would definitely say my favorite subject to tutor is math. No matter what an individuals major everybody has to go through some level of it. So as a tutor I've been exposed to a multitude of people who I've been able to teach and learn from.When I tutor I prefer to let the students "teach" themselves. I am more than willing to help along the way but my goal is to see my students continually progress until they are self sufficient.Outside of tutoring I'm at the gym or hanging out with some friends.There's definitely more to that, so come and find out more in a session or two!

I love teaching and it's been a passion of mine that has brought me great fulfillment over the years. From teaching students at all levels for over 20 years to supporting my three children through high school and college studies, I've brought confidence and knowledge to those I've tutored. The change I see in my students from those who struggle to those who succeed is rewarding both personally and professionally.

In terms of credentials, I have a Bachelors of Science in Biomedical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). My main area of academic focus was in biomaterials, which includes (but is not limited to) the study of cell biology, design and use of biological implants, and the design and delivery of drugs. I also pursued some undergraduate research in the area of Biocomputation, which involved utilizing algorithms to simulate biological processes. I also worked as a laboratory teaching assistant for Physics II for two years which involved working with a laboratory section of over 40 undergraduate students of various majors as well as helping to staff designated tutoring sessions for the course material, and briefly as a one-on-one Biomechanics tutor for a few months. I also participated in a few outreach programs (with RPI's Biomedical Engineering Graduate Council) which aimed to get young children involved and interested in science. I also studied the fundamentals of computer programming and data structures during my senior year of university, and have had an interest in programming ever since.Outside of academics, I've been playing the bass guitar since I was 15, with two years of receiving formal instruction. I love playing Squash as well as Soccer (though not as well as the former, plus RIP USMNT but at least Poland qualified), and I also enjoy jogging as well. I also like to both read and write sci-fi, fantasy, and non-fiction currently. My favorite movie is Blade Runner, and no, I have not seen the sequel yet.In terms of my own philosophy on education and my potential role in it, I believe that at the bare minimum, a high school diploma is a key requirement for one to be able have success in the adult world. I believe that I have the potential (through the knowledge I have obtained and my ability to problem solve) to help students in need work towards achieving that end goal, and more should they desire. So, that's why I'm here.

I'm a tutor and teacher with over 6 years of experience that conducts low-stress, engaging, and meaningful sessions with my students.My name is Sarah Tedesco and I am a 23-year-old Ph.D. student from Long Island, New York. I am a first year Ph.D. student in Cellular Biology at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I currently hold a Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering from the same university. I truly hold a passion for teaching and I hope to become a professor and scientist after my Ph.D.I began tutoring during my freshman year of high school and instantly fell in love. My self-made hodge-podge tutoring business grew exponentially through the end of high school, where I earned an Advanced Regents Diploma with Mastery in Science and Mathematics in 2018. I also graduated on the Principal's List, as an AP Scholar with Distinction, and with an AP Capstone Diploma. I was the highest ranked female student in my high school class. Because of my education, I have a strong and advanced background in many STEM subjects like Biology, Chemistry, Engineering and Mathematics! My philosophy is rooted in love and acceptance. The enjoyment and happiness of my students is my priority. I tend to regularly integrate my students into all parts of the virtual sessions and truly pay attention to their aspirations.

Be a lifelong learner

I think it's possible for anyone to understand a subject if they are shown enough patience and grace. From personal experience, I know what it can feel like to not understand a subject as quickly as others, and feeling like I couldn't do it. I want to help kids who may feel that way right now too. I know they most definitely have the capability of understanding, they just need someone who can take the time to explain it to them with no judgement involved. You should feel empowered after you get something right, there should be a boost of confidence. I hope to instill and nurture the confidence of kids one math problem at a time. My learning style includes breaking down more complex problems with smaller examples. This is to make sure that students fully understand the context of what's going on. Verifying the fundamentals of a problem are fully understood is key to having a complete understanding of current school work. I have history teach K-11 working at Mathnasium as a Math Instructor. I have had multiple kids, with all different personalities, at the same table excited to learn. I look forward to meeting future students!

I'm an Applied Mathematics and Economics student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with strong experience in math and problem-solving. I enjoy making difficult concepts feel approachable by breaking them into clear, intuitive steps. My goal is to help you build confidence, think independently, and succeed both in class and beyond.

Having received a medical school acceptance at age 17, along with many other top schools, I have a strong background in test taking and strategy. I have learned how to become an enthusiastic and adaptable tutor who is passionate about helping students build confidence and truly understand the material they are learning. With a strong academic background in biology and scientific research, I am skilled at breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps and tailoring explanations to each individual's learning styles. My leadership and mentorship experience has taught me how to motivate students to create a supportive environment where questions and mistakes are encouraged. I prioritize clear communication and structured problem-solving with the goal of helping students develop lasting confidence and effective learning habits. SAT: 1550,

I am a student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute working towards a degree in Business Analytics with a minor in Computer Science. I first started tutoring when I was in high school and started a robotics club that taught computer programming and problem solving skills to elementary and middle school students. I tutor in any math, science, and computer science fields. I am also open to tutoring for students taking the ACT or SAT.

I recently earned my PhD in Science and Technology Studies from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where I studied the politics of environmental remediation at the Hanford Site (where the US made plutonium for weapons until the late 80's). It's a dangerous site. It's also dangerous to ask any graduate student about their dissertation, since we can go on for longer than the half-life of plutonium. Don't say I didn't warn you!I am not only obsessed with things that glow in the dark. I am also fascinated with the social sciences, history, literature, philosophy, and writing. My M.A. is in anthropology, and my B.A. is in Sociology. When I tutor, I work hard to help you figure out why all of these subjects are worthy of your passion and effort.I have taught first-year college students, as well as worked individually with thirteen undergraduates to plan, write, and revise their senior theses. My students have included undergraduate social science students as well as those pursuing engineering, science, and business. I have participated in environmental research programs with high school students, and helped to train student activists in places as different as Pullman, WA and Atlanta, GA.I'm excited to work with you, too!

Hi I'm Tejus!I am an incoming PhD candidate and I graduated cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science while also being on the Pre-med track at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. My goal is to help students grasp concepts they might struggle with particularly within the fields of Math and Science. I use lesson plans in which I usually introduce the topic in a unique way to target the specific student. After which I proceed to not only go through step-by-step examples, but also provide plenty of practice problems for the student to improve their abilities on their own.I have roughly 4+ years of tutoring experience. During college I tutored both middle and high school students in the Troy Public School System. Before then, I also tutored students in Geometry and introductory level Biology as a senior in highschool. Along with that, as a part of my volunteer organization, I also tutored several students in lower income areas of the greater Albany region. These sessions ranged from traditional 1-on-1 meetings to classroom style discussions. My focus is primarily on ACT, SAT, and GRE preparation while also mentoring younger students in Biology, Geometry, and Algebra.When meeting a student for the first time, my objective is to gain an understanding of their abilities. Based on the results of their baseline assessment, I like to craft individualized plans to help them improve their weak spots and become better test takers. I like to work on practice problems with students to make sure they are understanding the appropriate thought process for each type of problem. From there I try to reinforce the material by giving them problems to work on at home. Finally periodic assessments will be provided in order to measure the progress that is being made.Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson!Thank you!

I enjoy learning and I've been a tutor for a long time at different types of tutoring venues over the years. I have bachelors degrees in chemical engineering and chemistry and a PhD in chemical engineering. I am a life-long learner. For the purposes of tutoring, my main proficiency is in chemistry, physics, math, Spanish, ACT/SAT prep, and some English. I think that tutoring is not about teaching but about learning. The student needs to be gain interest via examples, questions, and humor in order to become proficient. A combination of written, visual, and visual aids the learning; advancement occurs over several stages, but should end with the student being able to work on problems as independently as possible.

Physics major at RPI -- I have been a TA for Physics 1 and Physics 2. I can definitely help you with freshmen or high school level physics.

Hi! I'm Alex, a Computer and Systems Engineering student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), graduating in June 2026.

As a varsity tutor, I've worked with students of varying skill levels and adapt my teaching style to fit each learner. I focus on strengthening fundamentals, improving problem-solving skills, and building confidence so students can succeed both in and out of the classroom. My engineering background supports a logical, structured approach to math, while my patient teaching style helps students feel comfortable asking questions. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running, hiking, solving puzzles, playing piano, and listening to music. I bring the same focus, creativity, and persistence from these interests into my tutoring sessions. I look forward to helping students grow more confident and successful in math!

I'm an undergraduate student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute studying Electrical Engineering. I have years of experience tutoring and teaching math, English, physics, and other subjects to students from elementary school to seniors in high school. I like to relate problems to the real world and provide students with a foundation to figure things out for themselves without giving them answers.This may all sound pretty bland, but I have a variety of hobbies and I like making learning more exciting than students may think. I'm a big skier and my other hobbies include a variety of sports, weightlifting, and playing instruments.

I am a current undergraduate student who has always had a passion for tutoring. I have garnered over 250 hours of tutoring experience of all kinds over a period of many years. From helping elementary aged children gain confidence in their academic abilities to rigorous test preparation, I have a variety of experience with all ages and levels of students. I have always had a passion for sharing my knowledge and that is what I hope to do as a tutor.I am an experienced test preparation tutor. I have run my own rigorous test preparation classes and have proven methods to improve scores. Furthermore, I have experience tutoring high school students in Math, Science and English. I have completed Multivariable Calculus at the college level and several college level biology (currently majoring in) and chemistry courses and have taken writing intensive college literature courses. I have been tutoring geometry-calculus through my high school years and have experience in each subject in order to provide the best assistance. The same goes for my science and English tutoring capabilities.I truly enjoy the tutoring process and the ability to help students find their own potential in any subject of academia. I hope to be a good fit for any tutee and am willing to put the hours and effort in order to get improved results. I am willing to put in the effort necessary to help a student understand material and am very enthusiastic about teaching! Please contact me for more information on how I can help you, as a student, attain your goals.

I am currently pursuing an undergraduate degree at Rensselaer Polytechnic University for a dual major of Computer Systems Engineering and Computer Science. I have experience tutoring and mentoring across STEM, but specialize in math, computer science, and computer engineering. I'm deeply passionate about assisting others, and breaking down difficult problems and subjects into manageable components and fitting them back together. My style is collaborative and patient, and I work alongside my students to help them achieve their personal learning goals. I've found success in engaging directly with my students, and finding what teaching strategy works best for them. I believe tutoring is an excellent opportunity for a personalized learning journey, one which enables students to identify their academic struggles and find strategies to overcome them.

Hello, my name is Noah Bailey, I am a senior engineering student Rensselaer Polytechnique Institute studying for a dual in Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering. I have been interested in science and math for a long time since I was little. The time that truly pushed me into the career path that I am pursuing now was joining the Vex Robotics team in high school a national and multinational robotics competition where I learned the fundamentals of engineering design techniques. I am a new tutor to Varsity Tutors, but I received high marks on all my math class even up into college level courses and would be happy to teach most subjects from upper middle school into lower-level college courses. Thank you very much for your time and consideration in searching for a tutor.

I am currently a first-year medical student.I decided to pursue this difficult and lengthy path only after facing several challenges along the way. Throughout my childhood and my high school career, test-taking always seemed to be a challenge. I pushed to get the best scores I could, but something was wrong. I had a lack of direction. I needed a mentor.When I had my first mentor, I wasn't sure he would be the right one. We worked together for some time, but some of his characteristics were not compatible with my liking. After about two more mentors, I finally selected an intelligent, organized, and serious mentor that was heavily invested in my success. To have a mentor that is invested in your success is a fantastic feeling. Suddenly, my motivation increased, my grades improved and I was accepted into very good colleges and programs. That was my goal. I couldn't reach that goal without my mentor. My mentor taught me more than just English, Writing, ACT/SAT, he taught me humility, determination, and confidence. For these reasons, I am still in contact with him today.As a tutor-- mentor-- I will help my mentee achieve their goals (academic and mental). I will work with them hour by hour to the best of my ability to deliver what is necessary to achieve their goals. Education matters and your knowledge is tested through your scores, so they matter. The only way to win is through effective collaboration, mental determination, and hard work. I want to work with my mentee to figure out what I can do for him or her.

I *love* to help people achieve *their* dreams. Math and science courses pose challenges for some as they pursue those dreams. I tutor math and science (specifically chemistry and physics) to help people overcome those challenges and thrive. I strive to understand a student's perspective and then utilize hands on demonstrations and activities to help *you* learn the material the way that makes sense to *you*. I am recently retired from Ohio University where I was a full time professor of physics. In addition, I have taught high school math and science, organize and mentor for Science Day and Science Olympiad, and was coach for the Math Counts program at my local middle school. My education includes a Masters in Science from Michigan State and a Ph.D. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I tutor a broad range of subjects but am most passionate about physics (AP, IB, and regular), astronomy, calculus (AP and regular), and algebra/trigonometry. I firmly believe in the power of education to change lives and believe that I can help anyone learn.

Hello, my name is Yosef and I would be happy to serve as a math tutor. I place strong emphasis on a good balance between knowledge of mathematical content and proficiency in problem-solving, reasoning, and conveying mathematical ideas in writing. There are times when a student needs to be informed of a solution, times when he or she also needs to hear the explanation of why the solution works, and times when he or she should be guided to finding the solution on his or her own. It is important for the tutor to recognize which approach is appropriate. Frequently, when students struggle, it is because they do not understand the notation or terminology in use. In such cases, it is important to reassure the student, reminding him or her that he or she is only struggling with understanding a single word, not the entire mathematical concept. As a rule, people perform better and are better motivated when they have self-confidence, not when the task ahead seems frighteningly daunting. It is also important to recognize that different students learn best through different means. As an example, some students are visual learners and can understand the material best through pictures and gestures. Other students learn best through hearing the procedures vocalized, while still others learn best through writing out the steps of the solution procedure. I know to adapt my teaching style to the individual student. with these considerations in mind, I promise to provide the best assistance that I can, taking your individual needs into consideration.

I have a BS from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Interdisciplinary Science and an MS from Marist College in Information Systems, both in New York. I also have a Six Sigma Green Belt and am a Microsoft Certified Professional.In addition to my work in IT I have taught at both the high school and college level. I've taught and tutored several levels of math and computer science.My mother was a teacher and so the importance of a good education was imprinted upon me at an early age. I believe that the role of a teacher or tutor is to help guide the student to discover the answers for themselves. It's not the easiest path but it's the best.Currently between IT assignments, I enjoy trivia games, movies, TV animation (South Park, Simpsons) and spending time with my new girlfriend.

I'm a researcher with a passion for communicating science to students. I hold degrees in chemistry (BS) and biochemistry (PhD) and have extensive experience in teaching high school and college students in both lecture and one-on-one tutoring formats. The subjects I feel most comfortable tutoring are biology, chemistry, and physics. I like to take students through examples that highlight key concepts to the subject matter, beginning with simple problems and then going on to more complex and intricate problems that involve multiple concepts. I firmly believe that science is for everyone and that everyone can and should understand science.

My background in mechanical engineering and PhD has given me extensive experience working through complex technical and analytical problems. Throughout my career, I've often helped others understand challenging engineering concepts by breaking them down into clear, manageable steps. My tutoring philosophy focuses on building understanding rather than just getting to the answer. I enjoy helping students develop the problem-solving mindset that engineering requires and guiding them through.

As a dedicated and enthusiastic educator, I bring a unique blend of academic excellence, teaching experience, and personalized mentorship to my role as a tutor. With a strong foundation in standardized test preparation, academic subjects, and soft skills like communication and empathy, I am committed to empowering students to achieve their full potential. Having scored in the 98th percentile on the SAT, I understand the challenges and intricacies of standardized testing. I specialize in guiding students through the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section by teaching critical reading strategies, grammar rules, and effective essay writing techniques. My approach focuses on building confidence and fostering a deep understanding of the material rather than rote memorization, ensuring long-term success. Beyond standardized tests, I have experience teaching and mentoring students in diverse subjects such as psychology, reading, and writing. My academic journey includes rigorous coursework at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University of Pennsylvania, equipping me with a breadth of knowledge that I enthusiastically share with my students. As a tutor, I prioritize creating a supportive and engaging learning environment tailored to each student's unique needs and goals. I strive to make complex topics approachable, drawing on real-world examples and interactive techniques to ensure concepts resonate. My ultimate goal is to inspire confidence and a love of learning in every student I work with. I am excited to bring my passion for teaching, proven strategies, and dedication to academic success to every tutoring session, helping students achieve their goals and unlock their full potential.

Hi I'm Ali and I'm majoring in Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute! I tutor in Mathematics (Algebra I and II, AP Calculus, Pre-/Calculus, ACT/SAT Math...) I can speak three languages fluently: Arabic, English, and French.

I am a recent BS. Civil Engineering Graduate from RPI, and working as a Bridge Engineer! Since HS I enjoyed all things math and science (hence Engineering aha) and have a passion for teaching/tutoring other students! Throughout HS and college, being tutored myself helped me a lot and taught me the value of learning and sharing knowledge. I strongly believe that sparking curiosity and being a life-long learner is very important, and the skills and concepts learned in school can have many applications in any/every aspiration possible. I've tutored other students for about 3-4 years and look forward to tutoring you!Apart from tutoring, I enjoy watching sports such as Tennis, Soccer and Formula 1, enjoy working out and staying active, and trying new food! I also particularly love finance, budgeting and personal finance!

I go to a well-known university within the technical field. I have been studying computer science for nearly 7 years. I have started an initiative at school to help underclassmen get through coding problems. I teach the way I would've liked to have been taught.

I'm currently an undergraduate studying Mathematics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. I've volunteered teaching french lessons in an elementary school and I've been a volunteer math tutor for high schoolers. I've also tutored community college students professionally in college algebra and calculus. I believe that the best way to learn is collaboratively and interactively. I teach by working together with my students to tackle problems and develop a firm grasp on the bigger picture. I'm passionate about math and science and improving education as a whole. My hobbies include hiking, playing soccer, and painting.

I am a first-year PhD student at Lehigh University studying Industrial Systems & Engineering. I graduated summa cum laude with a B.S. in Computer Science and Physics at Rensselaer Polytechnic University. I have tutored middle school, high school, and college-level coursework for seven years, in subjects including Python and C++. I am experienced in helping students prepare for AP Computer Science A, AP Calculus AB, and the GRE. I'm always excited to uplift students and help them achieve their goals.

I graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a BS in Civil Engineering in the spring of 2016. During my undergrad, I tutored for two years as a Engineering Statics and Dynamics tutor. As a tutor, I like to follow along with the student so they understand step by step what is happening and where exactly they went wrong. From my experience, poor grades has a lot to do with confidence and is sabatoged by nerves during tests. I will make sure to provide positive remarks to students so they start to feel like the knowledgeable and capable individual that they are.

I recently graduated with a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I have accomplished many things while at college, such as programming a robot to drive itself around a building, and constructing a pump for an experiment in detecting dark matter. I also worked outside of school in multiple technology-driven jobs, like a summer camp where I taught more than 30 students computer science from the ground up, and an Internship where I helped design some of the most powerful fans ever created. In my downtime, I enjoy reading fiction and working on interesting problems in computer science and engineering, in addition to other things like playing video games and the using the Internet. All of the skills I have gained through these experiences will be put to use giving you the best tutoring experience possible!

As a recent graduate in Chemical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a passionate mathematician, I am looking to share my insight and passion through tutoring students. I strive to add fun to subjects that are usually seen as bland or less than exciting, and create a positive learning atmosphere for each student to grow and prosper in.My tutoring and education experience stems from 7 Winters' worth of skiing and snowboarding instruction, with a specialty in childhood and adolescent education (ages ranging from 4-16). I have been able to refine my teaching techniques through hundreds of lessons, and hold a highly positive track record with clients, students, and fellow instructors. Working as an instructor, I feel the best when I see my students working on their skills after the lesson on the mountain and seeing them, their friends, and their family have fun.I have previously tutored on two separate occasions as well. Recently, I was tutoring a third-grade student in all of her subjects, working on effective studying, review, and homework help. Previously I tutored a first-year college student in Chemistry I, helping her transform from a struggling student to a success story through careful and patient review of the materials and implementing relevant real-world applications into my work.I would be honored to tutor you or your budding student, and have a great day!

Having tutoring for over several years now, I have gained an immense amount of teaching experiences working with students from junior high school, high school, and college both undergrad and a few graduate. I know what it feels like when someone is having difficulty in a particular subject, they often get frustrated, angry, exhausted, and stressed after working on problem sets in physics and/or mathematics for an excessive amount of time and still cannot find a reasonable solution to solve the problem. There are also times when students are unable to start. My job as a tutor is to ensure that they can fully overcome these obstacles and solve the problems with ease in a coherent and thorough manner without any difficulty. The way I go about eliminating these obstacles and difficulties that each student is facing, is by creating multiple teaching strategies. Some of my strategies involved the making of a new lesson plan detailing important concepts and terms covered in class, supplemented with examples and textbook materials. Other strategies involved the use of a step by step procedure that will help to break down concepts into simpler terms and definition until the students are able to gain an insight on how to solve the problem.To help the students engaged into the problems being discussed, I often choose real life examples and applications to demonstrate how problems of these types can be used to solve real life situations.As a graduate with a BS dual degree in electrical engineering and mathematics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, I've leveraged the skills taught to me to developed software for hardware platforms in control systems, flight controls. and electric motor machinery. Also, the skills taught to me has led me to designed hardware for sustainable energy subsystems. These subsystems are often successful because I'm able to create various plans and step by step procedure similar to the ones I used for my students, before starting the developmental phase. My interest are in Flight Controls and Applied Mathematics and I look forward in pursuing higher education in Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering in the next few years to come. I'm looking forward to working with as many students as possible and assist them with the best possible teaching strategy, so they can be the next or future generation of Doctors. Lawyers, Engineer, Scientist or Mathematician.

I've recently moved to New York, NY after graduating at the top of my class from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy NY! At RPI, I received my BS in Computer Systems Engineering. Before college, I was valedictorian, got 5s on a variety of AP exams and achieved a 99+ percentile SAT score. Right now I'm a web developer!My academic success is linked to the amount I studied; however, I owe the majority of it to the wonderful professors and tutors I've had in my life. They've shown me that everyone has the potential to become a top student.I've been tutoring for over 4 years now and in that time, I've learned a ton of effective teaching methods. I've also learned many that don't work at all - we will skip those. My goal is to have you learn as much as possible, as efficiently as possible, while having as much fun as possible.Whether you want to explore subject fundamentals or just improve your SAT score, I'm your guy!

I am a patient and empathetic tutor . I've been tutoring Java and Python for 6 years, to students in college, high school and middle school. I've been using Java professionally since its introduction in 1995. The depth and breath of my experience in programming allows me to use numerous alternative paths to bring home fundamental concepts and on target solutions. Anecdotes from professional experience enrich my lessons. I hope that my sense of humor contributes as well. It always seems to slip into a session.

I am a current sophomore at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where I am majoring in Biology as part of the 7 Year Accelerated Medical Program. I am also minoring in Healthcare Economics and Policy. My favorite subjects in school are Chemistry, Biology, and Math, but I also enjoy the process of writing and editing thought provoking essays. During high school, I spent time tutoring for the National Honor Society. My approach to tutoring is to teach the concepts in a simplistic manner and reinforcing the concepts while adding difficulty through effective practice problems. In my free time, I have recently found myself reading, working out, drawing, and spending time with my siblings.

I've worked was a volunteer docent at the American Museum of Natural History while I was in high school, teaching visitors and students about the various dioramas on view and giving demonstrations of phenomena like buoyancy. More recently I had the opportunity to work as a student caller at the Renssealaer Annual Fund, where I got to engage in alumni relations and answer the questions of parents of current students. Although I'd never worked in a sales position before that, my experience there helped me to learn how to talk with people and find out how they work and what interests them.At Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (my alma mater as of May 2015, also known as RPI), I enjoyed having the chance to work with my friends and colleagues and help them with their school work. More than the thrill of problem solving was the satisfaction I got when I helped them understand a problem and work through it themselves. At RPI I studied mathematics although I also had an interest in physics and computer science. As a tutor I look forward to helping you better understand math! The subjects I'm looking to teach include calculus, multivariate calculus, and differential equations, although I can also teach algebra for those who need it.Every student is different and to help them learn it's important to listen to them and decide on how to teach them, either with theory, applied problems, or some other method. This was something I learnt while I was responsible for leading practice sessions for one of my school's martial arts club.In my spare time I am learning how to be a developer and data scientist so I might eventually achieve my goal of one of those careers. I also really enjoy to read, run, and am currently learning how to play the piano, something I have always wanted to do since I was a kid. Teaching myself how to do these things has helped me better appreciate how constructive guidance from a tutor can be.
