Award-Winning Tutors from University of Miami

I recently graduated from University of Miami, where I earned a bachelor of science degree in biomedical engineering. I have also gotten admission into medical school.By taking rigorous classes in college and studying for the MCAT, I have learned that a great teacher can alleviate so much stress. The knowledge that someone is by your side and is truly passionate about you achieving your goals is something that has no substitute. That is why I started tutoring 4 years ago. Every subject I tutor is one that I consider myself to be an expert at, and I am confident that I can share some of my expertise.With my engineering background and literary skills, I am prepared to tutor a variety of subjects. That being said, some of the subjects I tutor most are ACT, various branches of math, engineering, reading, and Spanish.I am so grateful for this opportunity to tutor because for me, it doesn't feel like work. I cherish the opportunity to help students who want to help themselves. I look forward to making this positive impact.

I am a soon to be graduate from the University of Miami where I will be graduating with my Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering with a Minor in Spanish. As an engineering major I've taken advanced math courses and extensive Chemistry courses. I have done very well in my classes and I have a 3.6 GPA overall. I enjoy teaching others and helping other students reach their academic goals. I am confident in tutoring SAT/ACT test prep, math, chemistry, and spanish. In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, working out, traveling, and going to new hidden gems in my city.

I am passionate about helping students understand all things STEM. I received my B.S. with a double major in Marine Science and Biology with minors in Mathematics and Chemistry from the University of Miami. I then received my M.S. in Fisheries from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. I am skilled in tutoring any and all subject matters in biology. My expertise are in environmental and conservation biology, cellular biology, and molecular biology. Additionally, I am well-versed in tutoring statistics, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and Calculus I-III. I believe that engaging the student throughout the lesson is of the utmost importance to ensure retention and understanding. Therefore, I I use PowerPoint for all lessons that contains notes and practice problems, which I then send at the end of each session. I also frequently check my email and chat to ensure constant communcation with studnets as they need.

As a recent high school graduate, I understand what it is like to juggle extracurriculars, AP classes, and college applications. I have sat through mundane test prep classes only to realize that I had not truly grasped the material and did not feel confident in my abilities to do well. I believe the key to excelling in a subject is to develop an interest in it along with learning the material, and this is what I hope I accomplish as a tutor for my students. I work with my students in a stress-free zone and encourage questions and discussion rather than lectures. In addition to studying engineering at the University of Miami, I have years of experience learning Russian as a native speaker. During high school I was a competitive ballroom dancer and continue to train in college.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Art History and French. I've lived in France, Venezuela, Miami, and now New York, where I work at an art gallery full time. Besides teaching languages, I enjoy sharing sayings, traditions, and cultural customs, to create a well-rounded and dynamic learning experience.

I have a passion for science, math, and teaching. Graduating valedictorian of my high school class and majoring in Chemistry at the University of Miami, I'm equipped with the knowledge and experience to help you learn and study effectively. I love to motivate and inspire my students by sharing my enthusiasm for the subjects I teach, as well as relating text book information to real-world applications. I look forward to helping you reach your academic goals!

I am a hard working systems professional that has never outgrown my love for math or for coaching others.As a student, I earned a BS in Mathematics/Psychology from Manhattan College with a minor in Computer Science. At that time I coached students in calculus and advanced mathematics. At this time, I also coached high school students in algebra and trigonometry.As a professional, I have trained and mentored hundreds of individuals throughout my career. I have both designed systems, created training material and traveled in both the US and Europe to train my co-workers. In addition, I have worked as on-line instructor for University of Phoenix, teach programming and Computer Information Systems. I coach basketball, baseball and soccer for my child's local sports teams.My most important job is that of a father to my 12 year old son. I have worked with him over the years, and I am proud to say that he is sharing in my love of math as a student in the Math Program at the local Middle School.My favorite word when coaching is the word 'Yet'. Of course students may not be good at math...yet. And of course, a student may not know an answer to a math problem...yet. But with a little work, focus and motivation, WE can make it that understanding math is a great experience.

Tutoring is more than just helping someone with their homework. It is using one's ability and intellect to benefit others, thereby using talents to improve others. I have always admired tutors as being these altruistic individuals who are using endowed gifts to make a difference in another person's life. Like a doctor in the medical field, you are providing a service that will improve their life and are dependent on you for their betterment. Tutoring's striking resemblance to medicine ultimately contributes to my desire and enjoyment of being a tutor, for having a positive impact on someone as much as possible is a daily goal of mine.

I am an experienced math instructor as well as football, basketball and volleyball coach who relishes the opportunity to help student athletes see their own true potential. If you hate math, I'm the guy for you!

Test taking strategies, not a measure of intelligence but ability to apply AAMC topics. Given time and effort, anyone can score the right score to these exams. Also tough science

I graduated from the University of Miami with a BS in Physics. While in high school, I attended math competitions across the country including one at Princeton University and another at New York University. My love for mathematics eventually led to virtual tutoring through Florida Virtual School where I tutored over 150 hours in Pre-Calculus, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and Chemistry. I love to teach because it lets me share my enthusiasm for mathematics and science with other students and helps me get a deeper understanding of material that is useful for my higher level mathematics and physics courses. As a tutor, I break down complicated problems into manageable concepts so students can gain confidence in solving these problems on their own.

Hey there! The first thing I want to say is "Don't Worry!" Whether you just hit a rough patch or have been struggling for a while, I am here to help you. Tutoring is not just a side job for me- it is a passion. I will do whatever it takes to not only improve your understanding and scores, but to be there as a friend and supporter in whatever you may need because I truly believe that tutoring is the best resource availabIe for so many different students. I currently attend the University of Miami as a Public Health and Human Resources double major while running cross country and track. In addition to running, I love pottery, frozen yogurt, yoga, and going to the beach. My favorite subjects to tutor are SAT, SAT II tests, and algebra, but I am happy to help with almost any course including physics, chemistry, and other types of math.

I am a fun, creative college student who ensures every student gets the results they need in an efficient way.

Hi! My name is Jose, and I'm a recent graduate of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, where I will soon begin my Internal Medicine residency training at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Throughout medical school, I developed a passion not only for medicine, but also for teaching and mentoring students pursuing careers in healthcare. Over the years, I have helped pre-medical students with medical school applications, personal statements, interview preparation, and academic strategy, in addition to tutoring students in biology, biochemistry, physiology, and medical sciences. As a tutor, my goal is not just to help students memorize information, but to truly understand concepts in a way that builds confidence and long-term success. I focus on breaking down difficult topics into clear, manageable steps while adapting my teaching style to each student's individual learning needs. In addition to my academic background, I bring real-world experience from working as a medical assistant, EMT, researcher, and mentor. I understand how stressful and overwhelming competitive academic paths can feel, and I aim to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and growing. Whether you're preparing for the MCAT, working through challenging science courses, studying for board exams, or looking for guidance on the path toward medicine, I'd be excited to help you reach your goals.

I am a law student, but I took an unusual route to get there. I used to attend medical school but had a change of heart in my career path. Part of this was due to my political science major (double major with biology) in college as well as a number of Spanish and other courses that I took. Tutoring is something, I feel, that has come naturally to me, even back to my high school days. My goal is to help you learn as much as you can and reach your true potential. I will work hard to make sure that this happens, as long as you put in the work, too! We will work together to tailor your learning experience to your needs.

In high school I did 13 AP classes and passed all of the tests most with a 4 or higher. In college I attended the University of Miami in Management, Marketing and a minor in music business. I have run companies, managed artists, manage sales teams, developed sponsorship proposals, developed business plans, and utilized programs and social networking sites to create marketing campaigns for all of these. During my time in managing a sales office for 3 years I learned many universal principles to organization, motivation, and teaching. I have also won and competed in Business Plan competitions, elevator pitch competitions, and the International Poetry competition which was the focus of a 2008 documentary on HBO called Brave New Voices. Now, for hobbies I write lyrics and read a lot of books on motivation, leadership, sales, and mindset. I am constantly growing myself in my career and intelligence and I know I can inspire others to do the same in any endeavor.

Hi! I'm Veena and I recently graduated from the University of Miami with a B.S. in Microbiology and Immunology with Chemistry and English Literature as my minors. I've tutored at a Math and Reading learning center in high school and became an employee of the Academic Resource Center at UM where I tutored my peers in STEM subjects. I was an assistant science teacher at a middle school for a year, and a workshop leader for chemistry classes at UM.I love tutoring because it keeps me on my feet. I know that not every student is the same and I know how to vary my style of teaching to fit the student. My priority is to eventually get the student to understand concepts independently. I consider my strongest asset to be my ability to make the process of learning relaxed and enjoyable. Having been a student very recently, I can relate to the stress students feel when they don't understand the material. My goal in each tutoring session is to put that stress aside and to take baby steps toward fully understanding a concept. My favorite subject to tutor is chemistry because of its interconnectedness. It builds on itself and when you start to piece everything together, everything just clicks.I'm currently working in a clinical research lab and applying to medical schools, and through my clinical experiences I've come to love working with people, which is why tutoring has been such a joy. In my spare time I like to try new recipes, dance, watch every movie I can, and train for marathons.

As a dedicated tutor, I'm passionate about helping students unlock their full potential. I focus on creating a supportive, engaging environment tailored to each student's learning style. With a strong background in math, science, english, and history, I aim to build both knowledge and confidence, guiding students to reach their academic goals. I believe in fostering critical thinking and encouraging curiosity, ensuring long-term success beyond just passing exams. My approach is patient, adaptable, and driven by a genuine commitment to seeing my students excel.

I am a graduate of the University of Miami with a B.S. in Geoscience and a B.A. in Biology.

I have also served as an academic advisor. I'm passionate about helping students achieve their academic and professional goals, whether that involves help in a particular class or talking about their future plans in the role of academic advisor.

Nothing makes me happier than tutoring high school students in subjects that I love. I graduated from a very competitive high school and I completely understand the rigorous nature of AP courses and the pressure to get a top notch SAT score. With a 2370 SAT score and a 4.0 throughout college and high school, I think I am definitely qualified to tutor. However, more than being qualified, what I've always hoped to achieve as a tutor is to develop the ability in my tutees to become strong independent learners with effective study strategies that they can take with them wherever they go. My motto is "Study Smarter, not just Harder!"

I have a Masters degree in Industrial Electronics and Computers and a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering from the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. I tutor math for all grade levels up to precalculus. I worked for twelve years as a senior design engineer at the Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Payloads Program before I gave up engineering to home school my five children. Some of the payloads I worked on were Magelan Venus probe, Galileo Jupiter probe, Hubble Space Telescope, Ulysses solar probe, Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, Spacelab, and the International Space Station. Why did I switch to education? To pass on to my children my love for math, science and engineering. I am happy to say I met my goal!I have experience teaching high school math and science in private schools for students who need high level instruction in math and science. I also have experience in direct instruction and coaching competition robotics teams. I love tutoring math because I often find it is an opportunity to turn downtrodden students around and other times I get to enjoy and marvel at an enthusiastic math lover.My tutoring style is collaborative, warm and most of all, encouraging. Whether the student comes to tutoring for remediation or to accelerate, I find he or she benefits from a friendly, non intimidating, supportive demeanor. I often find that students who come to tutoring for math help have met some personal obstacles which can be overcome with persistent optimism.I love ethnic dance, ballet, taking walks, cooking for friends and family, drinking iced coffee and making silly jokes.

I am currently a student at the University of Miami, studying to get my Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering, with an Electrical Concentration. I have always been mathematically inclined, scoring very highly in all standardized tests in the math and science portions. It is this knowledge and understanding that makes me a great choice to help students learn and understand anything mathematically related.

My name is Dr. Daniel Scherwatzky, and I am an English educator, writing specialist, and scholar with a Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Miami. My academic and professional journey has been centered around one core mission: helping students become stronger, more confident thinkers, writers, readers, and communicators. Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with students across high school, college, and adult learning environments, giving me broad experience adapting instruction to diverse educational needs, learning styles, and academic goals. My teaching background began internationally through the Japanese Exchange and Teaching (JET) Program, where I taught English at the high school level in Tokyo, Japan. This experience strengthened my ability to communicate complex concepts clearly, foster student confidence, and create engaging lessons for learners from varied cultural and academic backgrounds. Since returning to the United States, I have continued to build on this foundation through years of advanced scholarship, college-level instruction, writing center tutoring, and university teaching. At the University of Miami, I taught composition, literature, and academic writing while also serving as a writing tutor for undergraduate and graduate students. In these roles, I guided students through every stage of the writing process: from brainstorming and thesis development to revision, rhetorical analysis, and polished final drafts. My work has consistently focused on empowering students not only to improve individual assignments but also to develop lifelong critical thinking and communication skills. As a tutor, I specialize in writing instruction, essay development, literary analysis, reading comprehension, research skills, and academic confidence-building. Whether a student is preparing for high school coursework, college essays, standardized assessments, or advanced university writing, I strive to create an encouraging, intellectually engaging environment where they feel supported and capable of growth. My approach combines rigorous academic standards with patience, adaptability, and genuine personal investment in student success. I understand that every learner has unique strengths and challenges, and I take pride in tailoring lessons to individual goals while building both skill mastery and self-assurance. Students and families can expect from me not just subject expertise, but a dedicated educational partner committed to helping learners unlock their full potential. I am passionate about making writing and reading feel approachable, rewarding, and transformative. I am excited for the opportunity to work with students through Varsity Tutors and to help them strengthen the skills that will serve them throughout their academic journeys and beyond.

I believe that each and every person is capable of mastering any subject with the right guidance. A good tutor not only teaches students what they need to know for their classes, but she also teaches students how to think critically so that her students can effectively tackle questions in any subject area.

With a Masters in Mathematics Education and four years teaching at the high school level, I feel well prepared to address the needs of a wide variety of students. My method consists of asking students the right questions so that the students can figure out the problems themselves. I model the best ways of thinking so students learn how to ask themselves the right questions when I am no longer by their side. I seldom have students rely on "tricks"; instead, students will learn the underlying reasoning so that they can extend their solving methods to new related problem types. I look forward to applying my years of tutoring and teaching experience to help many motivated students.
