I'm a 27 year-old graduate of Syracuse University with a B.S. in Information Management & Technology, and a minor in Private Music Study. After graduating, I worked as a Technology Consulting in Financial Services for a large audit firm in New York City, before moving to the Copenhagen branch for one year. While available to assist with a broad range of subjects, I especially enjoy assisting students with mathematics, physics, and English. I like to focus on building a strong foundation with the core concepts that students may be struggling with, in order to ensure they have the tools to continue their learning on to more difficult topics, or just to be able to handle any problem thrown at them involving the basic topics. Tutoring students part-time is not only a job, but I find it one of the more worth-while uses of one's time, to be able to foster an environment where students learn to think critically and analyze the situation at hand, so that they can apply these various skills and practices for the rest of their lives.

Hi there!I recently graduated from Syracuse University with a dual degree in English and communications. I adore the written word and spreading that love of it to young students. In college, I worked as both a Resident Advisor and a tutor to undergraduate and graduate students. Both opportunities gave me the chance to work with, mentor, and educate peers on curricular and co-curricular studies. Sharing my love of reading and writing is a great thrill of mine and I feel honored to get such an opportunity to do so.In terms of academia, my dual degree lent me the chance to hone my communications skills (I now work full time at a television production company focusing on documentary-style TV) as well as my skills in English. As a result, I became well-educated in both classic literature as well as contemporary literary theory focusing on a variety of topics such as gender, media, class and social structure, and an assortment of other theories and topics (all of which I'd love to chat about if given the opportunity).In my downtime, I love exploring and trying new things (mainly food) and I'm an avid animal lover.Here's some additional trivia about me:I was originally born in Texas (Air Force family)Trying new restaurants is one of my favorite activitiesFavorite movie: The Right Stuff (that Air Force family clearly had an impact on me...)Favorite book(s): Nothing compares to the Harry Potter series, in my humble opinionFavorite animal: My two golden retrievers, Logan and Skylar (though my cats make a decent bid for this vote)Favorite TV show: Mad Men (nope, my company doesn't make it - but I'm genuinely hooked on this series)I warmly encourage you to contact me!

Anupama
MS Syracuse University
2+ Years Tutoring

Varsity Tutors Personal Statement Hello! I'm Anupama, and I've been passionate about mathematics education for over 20 years. With dual Master's degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science from Syracuse University and a BA and MA in Mathematics from Delhi University, I bring both deep subject expertise and a genuine love for helping students discover their mathematical potential. My tutoring journey began as a Teaching Assistant at Syracuse University, where I taught calculus, linear algebra, probability, and statistics to undergraduate students. Since then, I've worked extensively as a private tutor, helping students from middle school through college level master everything from basic algebra to advanced calculus. Whether a student is struggling with fractions or preparing for the SAT/ACT, I tailor my approach to meet them exactly where they are and build their confidence step by step. What sets my tutoring apart is my unique combination of mathematical expertise and real-world leadership experience. After my academic career, I spent nearly 20 years at Microsoft as a Principal Software Engineering Manager, where I mentored high-performing teams and created environments where people felt safe to ask questions, experiment, and learn from mistakes. These same principles guide my tutoring philosophyI believe every student can excel in mathematics when given the right support, patience, and encouragement. My teaching style is patient, adaptive, and focused on building genuine understanding rather than just memorizing formulas. I use real-world examples, visual aids, and interactive problem-solving to make abstract concepts concrete and relevant. I'm also comfortable integrating technology into lessons, whether that means using online tools, graphing calculators, or collaborative platforms that make learning more engaging. I specialize in: Middle School Math (Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry) High School Math (Algebra II, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus AB/BC) College Math (Calculus I-III, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Probability & Statistics) Test Prep (SAT Math, ACT Math, GRE Quantitative Reasoning) What I love most about tutoring is witnessing that "aha!" moment when a concept finally clicks for a student. I've seen countless students transform from saying "I'm just not a math person" to confidently tackling challenging problems and even developing a genuine appreciation for mathematics. My goal isn't just to help students pass their next testit's to equip them with problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and the confidence that will serve them throughout their academic and professional lives. Whether you're looking to catch up, get ahead, or simply build confidence in math, I'm here to support your learning journey with patience, expertise, and encouragement. Let's work together to unlock your mathematical potential!

I recently graduated with a 3.6 GPA from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, which is regarded as arguably the top communications program in the country. This comes after graduating from North Hunterdon High School with a 3.8 GPA and a 2140 composite SAT score. My best subject on the SAT was math, although I also scored highly on both the reading comprehension and writing sections. I also took the LSAT this year, scoring a 168 (96th percentile), which I actually found frustrating because it was lower than every single one of my practice tests (with my personal best being a 174). Because of this, I learned from my mistakes and am able to tutor both the subject matter of the LSAT as well as how to prepare for the test. I will be attending Vanderbilt Law School on a majority scholarship in the Fall.

That being said, I’d like to share my passion and enthusiasm for learning with you.I have been a teacher for 6 years. My teaching experiences are as follows:- middle school children English in the United States as a classroom assistant- middle school children English in Mexico as a lead teacher- American and international university age students Spanish as a part time instructor- high school age students Spanish as a high school teacher- international adults English at a non-profit center in Syracuse, as a student-teacher- kids yoga classes as the lead teacher- adult hatha yoga classes, asana, pranayama, meditation as the lead teacher- high school girls volleyball,basketball and track coachMy idea when I am teaching is that I am a facilitator. That means that you know how to do everything, you just don’t know that you know. My job is to show you that you have everything you need to do it yourself. Therefore, I ask questions to guide you, and in time you will see that you do indeed possess the necessary mental forces to complete the tasks before you of your own accord!When dealing with language, I use the communicative language approach, and focus on instilling a student-centered learning environment. I both create and ask the student to take part in creating course materials and shaping course content to foster interest in both learning and participating in their personal learning progress. I attempt to create an environment where a student feels no fear to ask questions, and is able to verbalize and communicate, and also is able to travel outside the classroom and use what we’ve learned in authentic contexts. I closely monitor student progress, and also am more than open to emailing and meeting at the student’s convenience.As far as my personality goes, I am a very caring, silly, open-minded individual. I genuinely am concerned for the welfare of those around me, which is why I am a yoga instructor. I also love academic pursuits, which is why I hope to be a tutor for who ever needs assistance.

My passion in helping students stems from the fact that I was once one myself, and not a very good one. College was a door to a new opportunity of learning. As soon as I became a college freshman, I saw a different world opening before my eyes. Today, I work with many diverse students in different scenarios: Pre-K to college level; foreign students needing to learn English for careers as well as scholastically; and SAT and ACT preparation for students seeking to get into college. The one thing that's common in these various scenarios is my passion to help students that are apprehensive to learn because they don't know what to do, and teach them how to break down a situation and discover for themselves how to study, learn, and find out to derive the answer for themselves. My Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Syracuse University and my Master's certificate in TEFL/TESOL from Learning Tutoring were not easy to obtain, However, that goal was worth it as they prepare me each day to to teach, interesting, diverse students, and assist them in achieving their educational goals. In addition to proven teaching experience, I have 30+ years' work experience in three different industries--banking, advertising, and hospitality. Since I am teach for a variety of accredited institutions composed of students of many ages and from diverse cultures and backgrounds, my subjects include, but are not limited to: English (verbal, written and phonics), literature, essay writing, SAT and ACT English and math, history, science, filmmaking (award winning filmmaker), acting (union actor--SAG, AEA), 2D animation, drawing, painting, and Adobe Creative Suite. My favorite subject to teach is English--phonics, verbal, reading, and literature. My teaching style is hands-on. I just don't stand or sit there and lecture. Lectures are boring. As my resume and other documents state, I have 30 years experience as a union actor in good standing. Much of this acting experience has been in improvisation and role playing. I bring a lot of role playing activities into my class, especially when I am teaching foreign adults who need to know English for their jobs/or if the relocated to the U.S. My lessons are based on the students themselves. They're tailored to student individual needs. We do a student scenario, say applying for a graduate degree scholarship. If they are employed in an English speaking environment, we might do something where they are interviewing for a promotion. My philosophy is all about the 'individual student's needs,' whether I am teaching a class of six students or one-on-one. Outside of the class, I am interested in kayaking, filmmaking, and writing scripts and plays.

I have also delivered webinars, seminars and community presentations to groups large and small. All these experiences have been so much fun-I love engaging people to learn and ask questions. Most importantly, I am patient and encouraging with my students so as to create a positive learning experience.and I look to create a positvie lea. as I am playing attorney by day.I am passionate about Since graduation, I have traveled extensively, tutoring children of immigrants in California for the "No Child Left Behind" program; adults in Manhattan looking to improve their English (as I am a certified ESL instructor); and private clients in the Veneto region of Italy. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and History. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, yoga, running, and the odd game of ice hockey.

I fully agree with the idea behind this quote: "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid," and I live my life as a teacher accordingly-- knowing my main goal is to meet a student where they are, and to guide them in the best suited way for them.
