" I assisted other students in their own writing processes and helped them to discover ways to improve their thesis statements, organize their arguments, and convey their points in a formal, academic, but also unique way. Rather than just telling them the answers, I prefer to guide the student to come up with the best changes to improve their writing. No one can learn how to write when someone just tells you what to say. But I like to help students learn how to best express themselves, so they can continue to write well, long after the tutor leaves." ...

" I continued at college by volunteering during homework time at a local homeless shelter and working at the college writing center. After graduation, as jobs and family commitments allowed, I continued to volunteer, again at a homeless shelter through a Chicago Public School program. Currently, I work with the wonderful children Varsity finds for me, devoting my energy and imagination to making their learning as productive as possible.."

"I have tutored fourth- and fifth-graders in math and peer-edited countless peers' college essays; I have directed youth sports camps and provided support to severely emotionally disturbed high-schoolers. It may sound trite, but I deeply enjoy the intellectual and interpersonal challenge of the teaching experience. While I expect hard work from a student, I am patient above all and listen before I lecture. I specialize in teaching standardized tests (ACT and SAT I and Subject Tests), math and statistics, writing, French, and economics." ...

"It is for this reason that I have been tutoring students since I was in high school. I understand that often it is necessary to go beyond the home and family to get students the assistance they need. I have worked with children for many years. Also, having a sister and nephews who are quite young has given me the patience necessary to work with students of all ages, and to explain what they don't readily understand.."

"It can be difficult for students to feel motivated if they have experienced "failures" or consistently run into obstacles they do not feel equipped to overcome. That's where I find it critical to provide opportunities for students to experience success through small steps. I also find it critical to work with content in a way that connects to their interests and to real-world situations and problems. I have a strong understanding of both the "science" and the "art" of teaching. I am a patient and enthusiastic educator with extensive knowledge research-based best practices." ...

"I've worked with high school students for the past 5 years and absolutely love teaching! In my experience, most students already have the knowledge they need to do well. Teaching is really about building confidence and helping a student tie together bits and pieces they already know to answer a problem. Every student is different, and I enjoy the challenge of being able to figure out how to best tailor a session to an individual's learning style.."

"I decided to do the very best for myself by attending one of the nation's top schools for teacher preparation, Michigan State University. Through my schooling, I have learned an incredible amount regarding children, the way they learn, different methods for teaching, and strategies for helping young ones achieve. Outside of the college classroom, I have learned even more about how to work with children by getting to know students one on one. 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 ...
