From my experience with immigrant students I know that difficulties with Algebra are caused by a weak foundation in Arithmetic; specifically, fractions and division. And difficulties with fractions and division are rooted in weak multiplication skills. A student that makes a 100 on the Khan Academy 4th Level End of Course will cruise to a B in Algebra because they can SEE the values changing in a function without constantly referring to the calculator.To take my own advice, I started in K (Khan Academy) and have worked thru 77% of Algebra 2 with incidental work in Trig, etc. in 3 years; this was done with breaks as long as 6 months between sessions and progress really slowed down during Algebra 2. I wasn't obsessed with the project but I did work all the problems. It was humbling to see how awful my test taking skill had become but I learned the connections between Arithmetic and higher math content.For study habits, I refer students to What Smart Students Know. I have a 1-page synopsis that I send to all my students.For Reading/English work, I use the First and Last technique and Teach to Learn regimen.I only work with people who want to actually learn (for whatever reason). I'm not going to do your homework for you.

I received my BA from Wesleyan University in 2020 with Honors in Philosophy and Phi Beta Kappa. I spent one year abroad studying Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at Oxford University. Having met stages one and two of Wesleyan's general education requirements, I have excelled in humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences so am able to provide assistance in a wide variety of subjects.Having peer-reviewed many papers in university, I am especially adept at workshopping essays in various departments (including philosophy, literature, psychology, history, and sociology). I also have experience tutoring high school math (geometry, algebra, pre-calculus) and am willing to tutor younger students as well.I am highly adaptable to the needs of the student and am quite good at adapting my style and vocabulary to who I am interacting with. Ultimately, my goal is to have the student be able to teach the material to me in a cogent manner. I accomplish this in part by asking the right questions rather than simply giving answers. I have experience working with non-native English speakers so have grown accustomed to speaking in ways that others can understand.Outside of academia I enjoy reading books, watching films, singing, playing the piano and guitar, getting exercise, and going to Maine. My passions are acting and Russian literature.

I am a recent graduate of Swarthmore College where I received my B.A. in physics. I had minors in mathematics and philosophy, and chose to pursue the honors program at Swarthmore, graduating with High Honors. I have experience tutoring students in high school, community college, and students attending Swarthmore. I most enjoy tutoring math and physics, since these are the subjects I love studying most on my own time. Explaining abstract ideas as a TA, as a volunteer in local schools, and as a frequent contributor to the student science magazine were some of my most rewarding experiences in college. Outside of academia, I love the outdoors, especially camping and back backing. After graduating from Swarthmore I worked as a caretaker on the Appalachian Trail for four months, and am now settling down to tutor full-time until hiking season comes back into full swing. Next fall I hope to start my PhD in physics, with the ambition of one day becoming a professor at a university. Coming from an academic career track, I am very familiar with the frustrations of standardized testing, and am well-prepared to help others navigate the test preparation process.

I am a young teacher that is dual certified in Mathematics and English Language Arts. I am enthusiastic about teaching and I love fostering a deeper understanding and love for mathematics in my students. I love working with middle school students and helping them develop study skills that will last them through their college careers.

I am a graduate of St. Xavier University with my Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing and my Masters of Science degree in Nursing with a concentration in Family Nurse Practitioner. I enjoy tutoring students who are preparing to sit for the NCLEX exam and the professional Nurse Practitioner certification exam as I remember what it felt like to anxiously study and sometimes question if I was in fact studying the "right" material. I also have a passion for tutoring students who need assistance with essay writing. I am a descriptive writer and use a lot of adjectives to color my essays. I assist students with understanding English concepts by first determining what they know and then bridging the gap to where they should be. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling, walking and watching Disney movies. When volleyball is in season, you can catch me at one of my daughter's games cheering her and her teammates on.

I grew up in a military family that was forced to relocate every few years, often internationally. As the result I became fluent in Russian, English, Spanish and proficient in French before I turned 18. As a freshman in college (2009), while studying International Studies, one of my classmates asked if I would help her prepare for the test in Advanced Placement Spanish and Literature. I agreed to help and therefore held my first tutoring session, and she ended up acing the test. This is when I found out I had a knack for teaching. My classmate was so happy with her results that she told her friends about it. Word of mouth got around, resulting in more and more students approaching me for help in foreign languages and social sciences, which started my career as a tutor. I began tutoring students in subjects like Spanish, Russian, ESL, as well as Psychology, Political Science, Criminal Justice and International Relations and undergraduate level Criminal law. Because I have been a student myself; I like to believe that I have an easy time relating to my clients and recognizing their educational needs. I find it extremely important that my students have fun during lessons, therefore I try to cater my lesson plans according to each student's individual learning style. I have a great deal of passion for education and the times when I notice results in my students, it makes my job as an educator that much more meaningful and fulfilling. I sincerely love what I do for a living, and I use my life and tutoring experiences to improve as a person and as an educator. I feel honored to be a part of Varsity Tutors, helping students achieve their educational and personal goals in life, therefore at the end of the day i go to bed knowing that i have done something meaningful and positive that day, that I have helped another person get ahead, and to me that feeling is priceless.

I love learning, and I want to help you love learning too! I am a recent human development graduate from Brigham Young University and a current developmental psychology PhD student at Arizona State University. I am passionate about education and helping students meet their educational goals through developmentally accurate methods. I have worked with kids ages 2-17 as a gymnastics coach and as a program leader at a school daycare. I have also worked as a college teaching assistant for research methods, social development, and adolescent development. I am a strong writer and reader, and I love to work with kids. I believe that every student has incredible potential, and I want to help you feel confident in your unique talents! I also have experience developing curriculum for unique developmental circumstances, including for children with autism. My teaching philosophy emphasizes autonomy-supportive learning and family involvement. Outside of teaching, I love reading, photography, and camping. Let's be lifelong learners together!

I am strong believer that any student can and will be successful if they work hard and be persistence and there are times that one might need help understanding a concept and this is where I believe I can help them to understand concepts better and be able to apply them in real life.

I am a Web Developer with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. I have several years of experience tutoring college-level and high-school level subjects ranfing from Discrete Mathematics to Calculus, Pre-Calculus, Linear Algebra, Algebra Workshop and Statistics. I also have experience teaching English and writing. I always seek to provide analogies alongside explanations to help better digest learning material.

I have taught English at the high school level and have been a writing tutor at the college level. I am a retired Air Force officer; currently, I am a full-time graduate student in Social Work, with a goal of working with veterans.I have a BA in Philosophy, and Master's degrees in Aeronautical Science, International Relations, Strategy Development, and English (soon to add Social Work to the list!), but my true passion is literature. I have found reading and writing about great works to be one of the most personally fulfilling ways to spend one's time, so I am very excited to work with students who are on their own journeys of self-discovery and skills development!
