I am a life long learner, and I have dedicated my life to helping and teaching others. I hope we can work together to help you be the best you can be.

I am very excited to be a part of the Varsity Tutors staff! I love helping people, and I especially enjoy working with children. I have graduated from the University of North Texas with a degree in teaching 4th-8th grade math. I am also a certified elementary school teacher. I have always wanted to be a teacher because helping others reach their goals is very rewarding. It is so wonderful to see a student’s face light up when he or she understands something I have explained. I have experience teaching in the classroom through my student teaching. During my student teaching, I taught in a sixth grade math classroom for one year. I am also currently a substitute for PISD.My hobbies are reading, going to the movies, and spending time with friends and family. I also like listening to music and playing the piano. I took piano lessons for many years. I enjoy going to the mall and bowling, as well.Math is my strongest subject, and I am able to tutor in algebra, geometry, middle school math, and pre-cal. I like math because I enjoy working with numbers and figuring out problems. I also like how math is very logical and that there is a process to determine every answer. When I am tutoring, I will work with the students to determine what they already know. Then I will explain the parts they don’t know or guide them into discovering how to work the problem. After that, I will provide examples or use similar problems to have them work it out themselves to make sure that they understand the process. I will also have the students return to that same type of problem later on in the session to reinforce what they have learned. Of course, I understand that each student is different and may need different teaching strategies or methods in order to help him or her understand the material. I will be sure to get to know each one of my students to learn the best ways to teach and work with them.

I am a medical student at Midwestern University starting in August 2017. I recently graduated Midwestern University with a Masters degree in Biomedical sciences. Additionally, I attended University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), where I received my Bachelors of Sciences degree in Biology. My expertise lies in the field of sciences, however I have vast amount of knowledge in wide array of subjects including elementary math, pre-algebra, algebra and American History, with a particular emphasis in the American Revolution time period. I have worked with many different types of students ranging from middle schoolers, high schoolers and even some graduate level students. My philosophy behind tutoring is that everyone is capable of learning, however not all students learn the same way. Each student must have an educational plan tailored to their strengths and needs in order to truly be successful. I pride myself in being able to work with different age groups, because it allows me to approach each student from a different perspective. Based off my previous experiences, I have found one-on-one tutoring to be a quite joyful experience for me, because I truly love teaching and it does not get any better then helping a student overcome a complicated topic.

I am a graduate of The College of William and Mary where I double-majored in Music and History. After graduating, I decided to continue my education in graduate school by combining my two majors and I am currently enrolled in an MA/Ph.D. program in musicology at Rutgers University. I am also currently a teaching assistant for an undergraduate course this semester at Rutgers (Introduction to World Music), where I am working with non-major undergraduates learning about ethnomusicology and non-western musics. While I tutor in many subject areas, I particularly enjoy History, Music, and Writing. All of these topics are integral to my graduate degree in musicology, and I love helping others to learn and enjoy those subject areas. In any kind of teaching environment, I find the best way to help a student is to give him or her the tool necessary to learn and do for themselves. So, instead of simply helping them to memorize information, enough to get by, I try to teach them ways to learn and comprehend the information for themselves and to assist in their studies even beyond the tutoring session or particular subject area. Also, I find that motivation is a key factor in studying and that finding what interests you about a subject or even an unconventional (but effective) way to approach a subject can instill that motivation on its own, giving the student the desire to move forward for him- or herself. Even though I spend a lot of time reading and writing in my own studies, I particularly enjoy doing so outside of them as well, reading different types of fiction (especially historical fiction) and other topics that interest me. I also love to play video games in my spare time.

I have a very extensive experience in teaching and tutoring. For 20 years I taught third grade with most years averaging mid fifth to mid seventh grade level for the entire class on standardized test scores. This includes Special Education and Learning Disability students. Some students attained post high school progress while in the third grade. When I trained other teachers, they got the same results. I was given honors by the Governor of Idaho. I have also taught abused children at a private school. Tutoring experience includes elementary Reading and Math, high school Algebra at the Houston ISD, and English as a Second Language to students and adults. Tutoring individuals or small groups is the key to success for many learners having difficulties or for learners who want to excel in success.

Welcome! I am Jane Elizabeth. I offer expertise and experience beyond compare. I am a reading and math specialist with extensive training in working with exceptional students; I foster student success as a highly skilled teacher able to build upon student strengths, identify talents, and respond to individual needs. Most importantly, I empower students with tools and strategies to confidently achieve goals. In my virtual 1:1, I engage and instruct students with a unique balance of kindness, professionalism, and fun!Challenging all students to learn and do their best comes naturally to me. Over the past 18 years, I have taught 1000s of students, traveled the world, volunteered, and refined my strengths as a teacher, a mentor, and an expert in the neurobiological influences on learning. Working with each student is a special experience that holds a place in my heart with memories that I cherish. Naturally, I share the joy of learning along with the pride of achieving goals in the classroom and beyond. I look forward to meeting you!

For almost as long as I can remember, music has always been a part of my life and sharing my passion for it with others is a joy unto itself. I have taught kids of all ages (K-12) through Barack and Michelle Obama Academy, Artportunity Knocks, and Private Lessons. My goal with each class/lesson is for every person involved to walk away with something concrete to think about/experiment with. I graduated from Georgia State University with a B.A. in Music, Concentration in Composition in May 2021.

I am a recent college graduate from Drew University. I received my Bachelor of Arts with a major in Spanish and a double minor in Italian and Linguistics with a focus on Neuroscience. I am excited to experience the world. I am a hard worker and I set multiple goals for myself to accomplish daily; both short term and long term. Languages and the human brain are my passions. I love studying and learning new languages; I speak Italian and Spanish, some Portuguese and some Korean. A goal of mine is to learn French, and to continue to study Portuguese and Korean so that I become fluent. I am very interested in neuroscience and how the body functions. These two passions of mine sparked my interest to question how languages work in the brain. I also have found that I enjoy teaching languages; especially English as a second language (ESL). When I teach I always think about ways to code switch and how my interlocutor may be thinking about the English language based on their first language. One way I teach to students is is by understanding their first language and their process of thinking. I truly enjoy teaching and mentoring to others.Besides tutoring ESL, I tutor Spanish and Italian. I also tutor in any neuroscience topic. I have taught ESL in a non-profit organization; I am a very active teacher and I enjoy helping my students learn. I have also taught during the summer at students' houses when we couldn't use a classroom at the organization. I currently teach some of my students individually now and as much fun as we have; I also challenge them intellectually so that they learn the most from our sessions.By studying languages myself, that helps me teach them to others. I understand the process and the confusion that can arise when learning a language. Also by understanding how languages work in the brain, I am able to teach better and make exercises more efficient for the student. I am very open minded and I can't say I have a specific method because first I see how the student learn, and from there I will know how to teach. I am passionate about culture, so besides teaching language, I teach aspects of the culture, as well. I also always tell my students they can't be afraid to speak. No matter how hard it is; if you don't use the language you will never learn. Besides giving them this advice I teach them certain phrases they can say if they are ever in a complicated situation where they can't be understood; these phrases give them comfort and the confidence to use the language they are learning quickly.Besides teaching languages I also am very proactive about teaching others how the human body works and why we should be eating organic, non-GMO foods, and taking nutrients, etc. Understanding the science and functioning of the human body and brain allows me to teach others why a healthy lifestyle is crucial for optimal health.If i am not reading and researching a topic; I am doing yoga or exercising. I am passionate about being physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy. I also enjoy latin dancing, ballroom dancing, and belly dancing; I think that being creative is very important and dance is a great way to express yourself.

I love learning and all the wonders that accompany it. Through my years of experience, I have developed strategies to help students improve in areas of concern in order to attain their academic goals. My wish is for all of my students to love learning, too. Whether a student wants to prepare for the ACT, improve reading comprehension, or develop successful test taking strategies, I can help him or her develop the tools necessary for success.

I am a former high school teacher and a current graduate student. I teach all subjects, but I specialize in test preparation and English as a Second Language. I've lived and worked in four countries, including Japan, France and Jordan.I've taught classes up to 40 and tutored both individuals and small groups up to four, working with a range of ages, from preschool to adult, and a range of ability level, from participants in special needs programs to students at one of the most competitive high schools in Japan.I am an excellent tutor because I am patient, engaged and encouraging. I seek out the unique needs of each individual and hone my style to best meet those needs.

I am a life long learner, and I have dedicated my life to helping and teaching others. I hope we can work together to help you be the best you can be.
