5+ Years Tutoring

I am a freshman at the University of Miami, majoring in Microbiology and Immunology on the pre-med track. I have been tutoring for three years now in a broad range of subjects. My favorite subjects to tutor, though, are biology and math. Tutoring is very rewarding to me because it is a way I can help increase a child's confidence and belief in their own abilities. One important part I incorporate into my teaching is discussion, which, I believe, encourages a student to explore the inner workings of any concept. This allows them to adapt their thinking to new contexts and all sorts of problems as well. Outside of school, I love to sing and read fantasy books.

Hey students!My name is Jordan and I am excited to virtually meet you through VarsityTutors. I recently graduated from Miami University with my Bachelor of Science in Geology and Environmental Studies. I have always had a passion for the planet and how we can create science-based solutions to the world's most pressing environmental issues. Between my coursework, research, and peer-reviewed journal publications, I am confident that we can work together to improve your understanding of environmental sciences and geology-related concepts.If you are looking for an LSAT tutor I am eager to help there as well. I decided to take the path to become an environmental lawyer and spent 3-4 months strategizing and preparing for the rigorous exam process that is the LSAT. I was not a "natural" but through intelligent strategizing and deciphering the test, I was able to increase my score by 22 points from my first diagnostic test. This placed me into the 92nd percentile of test-takers and in conjunction with application essays and other materials, allowed me entry into the country's Top 20 law schools. If you are hoping for similar results, let's work together and design strategies that achieve your goals!Essay writing and editing is an additional skill of mine. Whether for scholarships, admission essays, grant applications, or simply your elementary English paper we can work together to find a style that suits you and conveys your message in a sophisticated and clear way.Feel free to message me with any questions you may have :)

I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Physics - Pure, and a Minor in Mathematics at the University of Miami. Mathematics and Physics are both subjects where tutoring is very beneficial, from talking out the conceptual understandings to guidance on how to approach and tackle a problem. At a young age these courses intimidated me, but through the help of tutors and professors I conquered my classes and passionately continued to higher levels of academia. I strive to have this same effect on my students, allowing them to feel confident of their knowledge and prepared to take on the next subject.

I've been tutoring for over a decade with my most intensive tutoring being over the last year and a half. My passion for education started to unearth itself as I earned my BS in Biology and BA in Philosophy from the University of Miami and graduated to work at the John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics. It was here I was published for my work involving reprogramming autistic blood cells to stem cells, and then to neurons. I realized that I really loved sharing my work and teaching it to others. I went on to earn my Master's of Science in Biotechnology from Rush University and started to share this passion and energy of mine with others. Before starting my PhD, I decided I wanted to share science with the world and began my first scientific media project, Biolitics podcast and Biolitics.org. I left my PhD a few months after starting to build my media company and tutor full time. Not only do I truly love seeing my children succeed, I love being able to use my ability to teach and teach well to help support my dreams.

In my view, the learning and teaching processes are intimately connected. They are most effective if one feeds off of the other. The attitude and enthusiasm I bring to their training is also crucial to keep them interested, nurturing their curiosity and making learning fun. To engage students in the classroom I believe that a combination of main stream and dynamic methods are best. For a larger group, a well-prepared slide presentation will be effective. However, getting students to actively participate, and being part of the class will go further in making a long-lasting impact. In my experience, breaking larger classes into groups and encouraging them to interact with each other, will make the learning topics more amenable and students will be more comfortable asking questions. When teaching smaller groups, I prefer to use the board and encourage students to communicate what they have learned using this method as well. Visual aids are efficient in conveying the message we teach, but using a chalk talk tests your core knowledge of the topic and facilitates the simplification of concepts that may present as intimidating. Independently of the teaching method, the goal is to reach every student, taking into consideration that not all of them will respond to learning in the same way. I strongly encourage team work, taking full advantage of every one's individual strengths, by having them benefit the whole group. An effective strategy to promote collaboration among students in the lab is to have them share their expertise with each other. Although students may show interest in different fields of study, there may come the time when they will need to learn a technique or skill they had not encountered before. Being able to recognize and reach out to other group members who are proficient in that field will be invaluable as they learn how to network and build professional relationships.Throughout my academic career I have trained students from many backgrounds. While in graduate school in Miami, I mentored students from a local community college and my own Ph.D. program, exposing me to a wide range of cultures and points of view that enriched my own experience as a student. My Ph.D. lab was very diverse, including members from at least seven countries.I am personally motivated to broaden my mentoring focus to engage underrepresented communities at the high school and college levels. It is important for students in these groups to see a path in science for them, as there was one for me, as a Cuban immigrant woman who had to navigate an unfamiliar American education system while adapting to a new culture. Not being familiar with the academic requirements and datelines involved in transitioning from one stage to the next in my academic journey contributed to unnecessary hardships that could have been avoided had I been exposed to the proper information and resources.Despite the difficulties I encountered at different stages of my career, I was able to find opportunities to support my academic endeavors. I was awarded several scholarships at the college level that made my attendance to the University of Miami attainable. In graduate school I was awarded a four-year NIH fellowship that supports minority women in science, and during my first year as a postdoctoral fellow in Harvard, I was awarded the Dean's postdoctoral fellowship, specifically created to support underrepresented postdocs. As a mentor, I will share my experience and guide underrepresented students and fellows through funding and learning opportunities created to support their academic development.

With a 2370 SAT score and a 4.0 throughout college and high school, I think I am definitely qualified to tutor.

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.

My first math lesson was when I was three years old. When I learned how to add numbers, I realized that there are numerous ways to find a solution, which propelled me to math being my favorite subject. I enjoyed seeing how numbers, logic, and operations come together. Now as a college student pursuing a dual degree in Finance and Business Analytics, I need to apply these math concepts into the business world.Out of all the subjects I have taken, math has been the consistent honors class I take every year. In other words, I always take the highest offered math course that school year allows me to take. In my 5th grade honors math class, I got the highest prealgebra pretest grade out of the whole class. While other students scored in the 50s, I got a 82. Since then, I knew math was my passion. I also did math league competitions and math Olympiad throughout middle and high school. I understood everything the teacher said and quickly became a secondary teacher for my classmates outside the classroom.My first tutoring experience took place in high school. While I took the most accelerated math subjects, I assisted others on their lower math subjects-subjects I took years before. I took my interest of math into AP Statistics, AP Calc, and Multivariable Calc and loved how the symbols created almost a new language of math. When I tutor students, my biggest advice is to understand and memorize the concept before applying formulas and operations into the problem. Practice is a big emphasis to succeed, especially higher degree math. I can teach basically any type of math lower than multivariable calculus, with exception to geometry, since I am not as strong as algebra or calculus. I really do not have a favorite math subject to tutor, since they all connect with each other and I have different styles to teach each of them.Outside of math, I am a big sports fan, and love applying statistics to specific teams and players. I also love playing poker.

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.

Aurelia
MS University of Miami
2+ Years Tutoring

A graduate of the University Colorado Denver, I completed my Bachelor of Science in biology, with a minor in women's and gender studies, in three years and graduated with Magna Cum Laude Honors. I am currently a 3.95 GPA student at Miami University of Oxford, Ohio where I am pursuing an M.A. in Biology with Project Dragonfly's Global Field Program. I will begin my Ph.D. research at the University of New Mexico in the fall of 2024, where I will be studying the interactions between animal behavior and other realms of the biology field. I spent two years as a professional High School Biology teacher, and was highly praised by students and parents for my ability to creatively adapt to individual student learning needs. I have been tutoring my peers since I was 12-years-old, and my love of teaching has always been strong. I am a highly motivated and diligent person, with varied experience in primary and secondary education, laboratory work, science education, and both professional scientific writing and journalism. I have received multiple awards and accolades for my teaching, writing, and learning. As a worker, my passions for science, communications, and learning have allowed me to pursue interests that have given me a diverse but deeply focused skill set. I am reliable, passionate, analytical, and highly organized, and have very strong written and verbal communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. I am creative in my problem solving and scientific design, and am always interested in finding new research. As a teacher and a tutor, I believe that the student's learning is fundamentally the most important thing, regardless of what techniques work to make it happen. In my classroom I often used games, activity choices, and other methods for ensuring each student got the skills that they needed to succeed. As a tutor I will ensure that you get the most focused, knowledgeable session that a tutor can provided. My advanced STEM, research, English language, and social science skills will allow me to help you succeed in a variety of areas, and ensure that you are set up to build the skills necessary for future coursework. Additionally, my experience with learning disorders makes me uniquely qualified to adapt to any learning needs, and design a system of study specifically for you. I look forward to making your learning enjoyable and helping you thrive!

BA University of Michigan-Dearborn • Doctor of Medicine, Osteopathic Medicine (DO) University of Miami
10+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of the University of Michigan where I received my Bachelor of Science in Biomolecular Science with a minor in Medical Anthropology. Since graduating undergrad, I matriculated into the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine where I graduated in May of 2022. I will begin my residency in general surgery in June 2022. I have been tutoring in the math and sciences since high school, but am now most passionate about helping other medical students conquer the USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK exams. I know how daunting these standardized exams can be and strongly believe that with the proper approach and preparation that these tests can be mastered and actually build the confidence of a medical student. You've worked incredibly hard to make it to medical school and these tests are merely a stepping stone on your journey towards becoming a physician. While long study hours are part of the process, I recognize that taking breaks for your mental and physical well-being are equally as important. In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors, exercising, trying new restaurants, and reading.
