Devin R.
New College of Florida
Trouble with Algebra or Precalculus? I succeeded in math, and you will too!
I’m Devin, and I’m here to boost your math scores! Inspired by the machinations of mad scientists in science fiction films and video games, I realized early on as a kid that I wanted to study science and math. A homeschooled child, I quickly took the reins to learn on my own and attended high school online through Florida virtual school. I self-studied for the PSAT exam, through which I won a National Merit Scholarship. A number of AP exams later, I attended New College of Florida, the honors college of Florida, where I worked as a teaching assistant for Genetics and General Chemistry. After earning my bachelor’s degree in biochemistry, I dove back into test prep. With a strong GRE score, I was accepted to the Computational Biology PhD program at the University of California Berkeley. There, I quickly realized that a life in the lab wasn’t for me. Instead, I decided to use my talent in the test center and the classroom to help others achieve their own academic success. As a homeschooler in college, I quickly realized how the typical classroom experience can fail students. I struggled to grasp new concepts through my instructors’ lectures. As they spoke on and on in front of the class, I would often have to give up on understanding what they were talking about. It was only after a lot of homework and one-on-one meetings with my instructors that I was able to succeed in those classes. That experience informs my approach to tutoring. I’m not going to talk at you while trudging through a presentation. We’re going to work problems together. I’m here to support and guide you, not lecture you. When you run into trouble, I’m going to pinpoint your difficulty and show you how to overcome it. We’ll keep going until you can solve these problems on your own. If you need more practice after a session, I’ll direct you to plenty of extra problems to polish your skills. You’re going to have the confidence to handle whatever a class throws at you next. Let’s get started!

Giovanni A.
McGill University, Dawson College
Study Strategies, Essays, Research, and Social Sciences (Psychology, Political Science, Sociology, etc.)
I am passionate about helping university students to reach their potential. From the best study methods, essay writing, and research skills my goal is to help you excel in your courses. First Session is free! We will discuss your courses and develop a plan tailored to your goals and needs. For example, if you are a psychology student with many multiple choice exams, how should you study? (e.g., cue cards, mock tests, or a software such as Anki). How do you write an excellent essay for a sociology course? (e.g., research, outline, citations and bibliographies). About me: I completed my undergraduate degree at McGill University in Psychology and political science, and I plan on pursuing my graduate studies in Psychology soon. I also have relevant research experience in psychology. I am really passionate about the social sciences (e.g., psychology, political science, history, sociology) and learning about the most efficient study methods. I look forward to working as your tutor!
