"The truth is, they have the ability, they're just missing knowledge of certain basic fundamentals. It takes the personal attention of a tutor to find out what that missing knowledge is, and with guided practice, my students have gone on to solve problems they never thought they could, and achieve better grades on their exams.
I possess a flexible schedule, and no matter what your school level, I gladly provide my services with good humor, patience, and respect. I look forward to working with you!."

"
After graduating with distinction from the University of Virginia in 2008, I worked as the special assistant for the science advisor at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. I then joined Teach For America, teaching Biology, Chemistry, and Earth Science at a high school in Brooklyn, New York for two years.
After Teach For America, I thought my teaching days might be over as I enrolled at the University of Chicago's Medical Scientist Training Program as an M.D./Ph.D."

In the classroom and one-on-one, I'm informal, interesting, and lots of fun. I have a lot of experience translating science into English, and my hope is that all of my students walk away with the ability to apply what they learn to their lives.
Go forth and do science!."

" Presently, I volunteer at a home for at-risk teens and help with interview skills, developing resumes, and filling out applications. Also, I substitute teach at a Catholic middle school in the West Suburbs. When tutoring, I believe it's important to stress understanding the concepts that can lead to true subject mastery. Often, these are touched upon in the classroom, where there simply isn't enough time to digest the ideas fully. Once understood, these concepts can save hours of effort when completing assignments and approaching future concepts." ...

" For the past two years I taught mathematics at the middle and high school level as a Teach For America corp member in the Dallas Independent School District. I know that the confidence that a student receives when they finally understand a concept that has alluded them is powerful enough to positively impact them in all arenas of their life, not just in school. Confidence in your own ability is a powerful thing! I am excited to be part of the Varsity Tutors program and to continue teaching and inspiring through education!."

"I taught Geometry and Algebra I. I enjoyed the classes where I was able to teach students in a more one-on-one environment.
After graduating, I got a job as a high school Mathematics teacher in a small town in Wyoming. I taught 8th grade Math, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Pre-calculus, and a senior level Math. I enjoyed teaching in a more hands-on approach in Wyoming.
In the fall of 2007, I was able to teach Pre-calculus and Algebra I in a school in South Dakota."
