"I like to see what the students know first, then work with them in a way that builds upon their strengths while tackling their weaknesses, so that they never feel left behind or confused. It's very important to me for the students to understand and be comfortable with the material, and I'd never want to push something on them that they're not ready for. It's my goal to make students feel like their voices and ideas are important, and to never be shy about talking and expressing their opinions. As far as my interests go, I enjoy photography, good food, and, especially, music." ...

"My main motivation for tutoring is seeing that "a-ha!" moment when a student finally understands a concept with which he or she has been struggling. There is nothing more satisfying! One of my greatest strengths is being able to work with all different kinds of people, and I tailor my approach to each specific case. I look forward to working with you and seeing you reach those "a-ha!" moments!."

"I recently traveled to China for a college course studying sustainable water management strategies. I love to travel!
I also love to write and tend to excel with pen and paper, or--more realistically--with a laptop and Microsoft Word. I rely on the notion that the best pieces of writing are crisp, clear, and a pleasure for the reader, no matter what the topic may be.."

"I have worked with students of varying abilities, including those with learning difficulties and gifted students.
I grew up in the Chicago area, but I was born in Ukraine, so I speak Russian fluenty. I also speak Spanish--I learned it in school and still use it to this day with my husband's family.
Outside of work, I am married with a 2-year-old son."

"I believe that by relating to my students, I learn more about how they process information best, and in return I am able to come up with creative and innovative ways to help them achieve and succeed.
I am a persistent, motivated, and enthusiastic person, especially when it comes to helping children excel. My desire and passion for helping students has only grown since I was that little girl playing "school," as my ambition is focused solely on helping children learn.

"
I especially love teaching history and writing. I think the most fun ways to teach and to learn involve working directly with primary source materials and linking the work we're doing to the world we live in. You'll never ask why you need to know something--or if you do, we'll work together to figure out why it's important. As a tutor (and as a person!), I am energetic, friendly, and positive."

" As a result of such diverse opportunities, I’ve gained the patience, creativity, and experience needed to be a successful tutor in almost any subject. In addition, my college courses have provided me a breadth of knowledge applicable across all academic areas, as well as an understanding of how different individuals learn. I can relate to the challenges students face when approaching standardized tests, given that I’ve taken both the ACT and GRE within the last four years, and took 11 AP courses throughout high school. I chose to work with Varsity Tutors in particular because I believe that their unique focus on individualized, one on ...
