Hi, I'm a retired special education Elementary school teacher who loves to help students achieve their goals in learning to read, write and do math. We can have fun in developing your skills using games like hangman, TicTacToe, and bingo. I hope that I can offer my services to you as a great tutor.

I am a 7th grade English/Language Arts teacher at Gary Comer College Prep Middle School in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood of Chicago, IL. I have also taught math in self-contained and remedial setting.I really love to help students find their voice in writing. I found that for me, as soon as I began to write about things I was passionate about on an individual level, I was able to unlock a lot of creativity. If students write about what they know, rather than what they think someone would like to hear, they often become much more authentic writers.I love to watch football with my roommate and friends (Go Texans!) and have started getting into basketball since I moved to Chicago. I have a beautiful cat named Daisy and I love to swim and be outside!

I am a graduate student in Chicago studying occupational therapy. I recently finished my undergraduate studies in Psychology and English at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During breaks from school, I am a substitute teacher for a local high school district. I also tutor students online in English and Psychology. Looking forward to tutoring through Varsity Tutors!

I am a graduate of Willamette University, where I earned my BA in Psychology with a minor in Mathematics. Currently, I am preparing for the Actuarial Science certification exams by taking classes at Arizona State University. I tutored students from a variety of academic backgrounds at my previous university, primarily in quantitative methods like Applied Statistics. Although Statistics is my favorite subject to tutor, I also very much enjoy other math topics like Calculus and Algebra, as well as writing and Psychology. I take a foundational approach to tutoring by focusing on the individual building blocks of a topic; I identify which of those building blocks a student is comfortable with and which we should work on together. Once those building blocks are established, we can more easily transition into the next levels of the topic. Most importantly, I work with a student to create a plan tailored to their individual learning style and needs. When I am not studying or tutoring, I like to spend my time reading, hiking, exploring the sights in Arizona, traveling, and visiting my family back home in the Pacific Northwest!

I began tutoring at a local tutoring center, and I tutored a variety of age groups, ranging from middle schoolers to high schoolers.I love staying active, whether it be riding my bike or playing basketball. I have a passion for chess as well as reading, and I enjoy trying new things.

I received my law degree from the Duquesne University School of Law in 1997 and became licensed to practice that same year. My undergraduate degree is a Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of Pittsburgh. After a judicial clerkship, the main focus of my career was as a prosecutor in Southeastern Pennsylvania, where I tried hundreds of cases, presented cases before Pennsylvania Appellate Courts, and advised law enforcement agencies in various stages of pending investigations. Currently, I work for a non-profit that conducts nationwide trainings and prepares resources for prosecutors, law enforcement, and other community stakeholders. While I was a prosecutor, I also instructed at the Reading Police Academy and served for several years as an adjunct professor at Reading Area Community College and Alvernia University, where I taught criminal justice courses to undergraduates. My approach in teaching is trying to help students understand fundamental concepts with concrete examples that can later be used as a foundation to approach new problems. I look at the law as an interlocking web that relies on context to other parts of the law to understand. A real challenge to beginning any kind of study of the law is building a foundational understanding. My goal when working with students is trying to identify other parts of the law that can help give context to the area of the law being studied.

My academic focus in biology and chemistry with a biochemical concentration coupled with my three years' experience working in a laboratory setting have provided me with the knowledge and skills necessary to be a great tutor. For the past three years, I have worked for a petroleum company where I am able to utilize the knowledge obtained during my undergraduate years. My goal is to help others succeed by providing students with the skills and knowledge that I used to get me where I am today. My tutoring methods have proven to be very successful with my students. I have multiple strategies that I use so I will be able to determine the best fit for each student.

As a highly motivated, goal and success oriented tutor, I have a proven track record of providing excellent tools for everyone around me to overcome the challenges that they encounter when facing difficult situations. I will graduate from Baruch college with a bachelor's in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and have always received A's in all my mathematic courses. I am always positive and enthusiastic, and I love to share that with everyone. I have been a tutor for about 6 years now, in French and Mathematics. I have helped my students to build the necessary skills that they need to succeed. I show my students how to study effectively. For instance, Mathew who is a former student of mine did not like algebra at all. I showed him how easy it is with 3 effective rules to master in algebra. Read-Follow-Do. Now he is taking calculus and is doing well. My previous experience as a tutor and my daily life as a student has enabled me to develop not only specific skills to be the best tutor, but also to be patient and understanding. This is because I have lived the frustration of not understanding a subject myself. This pushes me to read and go find the help that I need. Living this myself makes me devoted and goal oriented, and motivates me to help my students even more. I want to get my PhD in I.O. in the future and develop more and better skills to be the best tutor that I can ever be.

My desire to become a tutor began after a tutor of mine personally changed by life. The general perception people have of tutors is that they are just intelligent individuals with expertise in certain areas who lecture those who do not fully understand yet. In my case, my tutor helped shape the way I see tutoring and learning itself. When I was younger I personally struggled with many subjects. My tutor was very patient with me and followed my pace and asked questions that would improve my critical thinking. Most importantly, however, she never got frustrated with me no matter how many times I had to go through certain concepts. These characteristics she exhibited has guided me to develop my tutoring philosophy Learn first, teach after."Tutoring has been a significant part of my life since I started high school. I began tutoring right away in the 9th grade to help others understand and gain valuable experience. As I moved closer to senior year I began tutoring nearly every subject to become a more holistic tutor. Senior year arrived and I was thrilled for two reasons college applications and having the opportunity to tutor all grade levels in various areas of academia. Senior year was amazing and I was blessed with being the only student who had over 100 tutoring sessions that year. I credit this success to my tutoring style, which involves asking the right questions and putting myself in the tutees state of mind and never being afraid of going slower to help the individual learn. Tutoring is not about teaching what you know it is about guiding someone through a learning experience.
