My passion is math. You don't hear that often, do you? I'm a 3rd year math student at the University of Texas at Austin. I've been tutoring ever since high school, and I truly love it. Both of my parents are math teachers, so I think it runs in the family. I've have taken every kind of math you can think of (and a lot of maths you've never heard of). I've continued to tutor because of the amazing students I work with, and to see their passion for math grow is inspiring. Not a lot of students out there care for math, but I'm hoping to change that.

To start, I am a mom and I love spending time with family and friends. I enjoy biking (bicycles), cooking new meals, scrap booking and going out to lunch or dinner with my friends. I also advocate for children who are not receiving the proper services in the school system. I am passionate about children receiving what they need to be successful from the school system. Academically, I have earned three master degrees over the years. One is in business and the other two are in the field of psychology; School Psychology and Educational Psychology. I have spent a number of years working in the public school system as a school psychologist. I thoroughly enjoy working with children to help them achieve a level of success with their academics. I like to use a multi-model approach to tutoring which includes your typical paper and pencil work, computer based learning tools, hands on strategies and discussion based learning. I believe for a student to remain engaged and active in their own learning they have to enjoy it to some degree. The teaching has to be interesting, engaging and have some level of fun tied to it. The teacher/tutor needs to know their student(s) and what their learning styles are in order to create the most effective strategies. I believe a reward system is very helpful for students who have a very low level of motivation to do their school work. It can be a very simple system which does not require spending lots of money, if any. I thoroughly enjoy working with children with special needs and various learning disabilities. My background is in the field of special education and I am well versed on a variety of interventions that prove successful with students. I have worked with students at all levels and have learned that a one's confidence level plays a large part in their success. When one feels confident about themselves and their ability to learn the material they seem to progress a bit quicker than those who struggle with self-confidence. I will help to build your child's self-confidence as they learn. It can be a fun experience and something your child looks forward to instead of dreading doing their school work. I look forward to working with you and your student(s).

I am a graduate of New York University???s undergraduate history program. My main focus was the cultural and intellectual history of WWII Japan. In my final summer at NYU I traveled to Japan where I studied Japanese, traditional music, and Wartime film.I offered my academic services both in high school and college, often to my peers, primarily in writing and mathematics. I work carefully with students to bring out clarity and richness of expression in their writing. Essays are essentially portraits of your character and logical flow, which is often where students are lost, is crucial towards creating a compelling voice. Mathematics is similar; it requires a practiced hand and a clear mental map. I am happy to guide students at any level and tailor lessons to their needs.Although I enjoy writing and mathematics the most, I have a passion for physics, earth sciences, reading comprehension French and Japanese. I encourage students to find freedom in these subjects rather than trauma. In each lies a means of expression and an opportunity for dialogue. Physics, for example, offers us a completely new vocabulary for describing our natural world. My goal is for you to develop a comfortable rhythm using unfamiliar vocabulary and the ideas behind them. Patience, young one, and you will feel empowered, not intimidated on test day!My method involves students in developing their own ways of learning and exploring what makes sense to them. We all come from different backgrounds and connect with material in different ways. Together we can develop this as a strength so that you have your own set of tools that you can apply to any problem. This, ultimately, is the test of any academic pursuit. I am comfortable reaching out and adapting the material whether it be SAT, SAT II, IB, AP, or classwork to where you are now.My hobbies include poetry, electronic music, ink drawings and youtube.

I will attain a BBA in Business Economics this May 2016 from the University of Memphis. Education and community are passions of mine, and I strive to reignite a curiosity for knowledge in my students and peers. Notable positions I have held include a Success Coach for Peer Powera community centered non-profit whose goal is improving childhood education through involvement between local grade schools, universities, and corporationsand interestingly enough, a ballroom dance instructor. My academic strengths are fairly broad, with expertise in mathematics and standardized testing.A couple fun facts about myself: I'm from New Jersey and of Italian decent, so I naturally love cooking and all things pizza. My favorite childhood book is The Giver by Lois Lowry, and favorite high school class was physics (rockets, easy winner). I enjoy playing guitar and ride my bicycle on a sunny day.

ACCUPLACER Elementary Algebra Tutor • +8 Subjects
I am a certified math teacher with 20 years of experience working with students from elementary school through college. I have a Master's degree in Mathematics and a Master's degree in Education also. I am very comfortable teaching all different age groups and enjoy working with students one-on-one. One-on-one teaching helps me understand their strengths and weaknesses. I try to listen to my students' needs and evaluate that first, and then based on that I provide support, guidance, advice and encouragement to students on issues regarding their progress in education. I am very consistent and patient with my students.As a tutor, my strength lies in supporting, motivating and encouraging students along with teaching them the importance of discipline and staying focused on studies. I have noticed that for some students, the actual problem is not the subject/curriculum, but that they need help with time management and study skills. I try to teach students how to learn better and faster by managing their time efficiently and by organizing how they study.Since math is very cumulative, I always like to spend some time to review the prior and old material to fill in the gaps and then teach the new material. Since July 1992, I have enjoyed carrying out my responsibilities as a math educator. I enjoy working with children who need more guidance than those typically found in a traditional classroom. I have the ability to connect with my students and teach simple concepts, as well as more advanced topics. I enjoy working with children and careful preparation of lessons allows me to break down complicated concepts to simple examples that students can grasp easily. I try to tailor activities that help in maintaining the interest of high level students well as the less skilled students. I communicate regularly with my students regarding their progress and how they are improving.Everyone needs a little help here and there. If you need help in achieving your goals and you know you can do it with some guidance, just need some one-on-one help, then don't be afraid to ask for assistance and I may be the best person to help you.

College English Tutor • +11 Subjects
I earned my B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies (with a double minor in Human Resource Development and Communication) from Northeastern Illinois University in May 2014. I am currently pursuing an MA in Human Resource Development from the same school. During my undergraduate coursework, I worked in the Center for Academic Writing as a peer tutor for students taking the writing intensive course required for degree completion. I tutored traditional college students as well as older adult college students. Many of the learners I had the opportunity to empower were ESL/ELL students. I am available to tutor in subjects related to writing and essay writing, such as composition, grammar and mechanics, and editing. I am able to help you with public speaking: preparing a speech, preparing yourself to deliver the speech, tips and trick for grabbing your audience's attention, when and how to engage your audience, and closing effectively. I base my tutoring style on a philosophy that communication (written and verbal) is key in our ability to productively engage in the world around us. It is my goal to empower learners with the ability to communicate effectively, by helping them to "find the story" and communicate it in a way that makes sense to others. I enjoy showing others how putting the story down in writing can be started using words and building upon them until they become a flow of organized thoughts and ideas. One of my greatest abilities is to help others conquer their fear of writing papers by showing them ways to organize the key concepts involved in effective essay writing and public speaking. Last, but not least, I can help you organize your study materials for coursework and exams and offer tips for effective study methods, based on your preferred learning style. In addition to tutoring and taking graduate classes, I am the treasurer and a board member for a small non-profit organization. My family and I grow many of our own organic produce in the spring through fall months in raised garden beds we built in our backyard. I love to explore the city for new restaurants and local businesses, so walk and take public transportation whenever I can.

ACT Writing Tutor • +18 Subjects
I am a graduate of Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with a focus on European history and the history of religion. I am extremely passionate about history and writing, and I have enjoyed tutoring students in these subjects for over five years. I began my journey as an educator in 2017, when I taught lessons about human rights and the history of religion to high school students in the San Francisco Bay Area. I continued honing my educational skills at Carleton, where I worked as a tutor and mentor for students with learning differences. I used my deep knowledge of history and writing to help students proofread their essays, study for humanities courses, and teach them important executive functioning and study skills to help them succeed in college. I enjoy tutoring because it allows me to form empathic and intentional connections with my students. By learning more about their educational backgrounds and understanding their goals, I become a better mentor who will more effectively guide them through their studies. When I am not tutoring, I like to hike, kayak, read, write, and research my family's history.

My teaching philosophy can be best summarized as assisting the student to think for him or herself and helping them gain confidence in their academic abilities I focus on a holistic approach to problem solving and academics, and pay special attention to personalize my services to the individual student's needs and personality. I have been a private tutor for over 6 years. My first assignments were requests from classmates to assist them in Pre-AP Chemistry and Mathematics. I attended Texas State Honors Math Camp to advance my mathematical skills where I learned to collaborate and gained exposure to different ways of explaining and conceptualizing mathematical problems. I have also worked with teenagers as a residential camp counselor and as well as teaching a New York City Ballet dancer for an accelerated GED high school certification program. My vast international travel and academic background has enabled me to effectively adapt and strategize for a variety of courses and tests. I also assist students with college admissions counseling and preparation, as well as essay reading and writing assistance. I look forward to working with you to help you achieve your goals!

Frequently Asked Questions
Verb conjugation is one of the trickiest parts of 7th grade French because there are so many patterns to memorize. The most effective approach combines pattern recognition with repeated practice—students learn that -er, -ir, and -re verbs follow predictable rules, then practice conjugating verbs in context rather than in isolation.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly helpful here because tutors can identify which verb tenses your student struggles with most (present tense, passé composé, imparfait, etc.) and create targeted practice. Rather than drilling conjugation tables, great tutors weave conjugation into actual sentences and conversations, which helps it stick much better than rote memorization.
In a typical classroom, 7th graders get limited one-on-one speaking time with an instructor—maybe a few minutes per class. This is one of the biggest gaps in traditional language education. Speaking practice is essential because it builds confidence, develops pronunciation, and helps students move beyond translating in their heads to actually thinking in French.
When you connect with a French tutor for personalized instruction, your student gets dedicated conversation time every session. Tutors can slow down, correct pronunciation gently, introduce relevant vocabulary on the spot, and adjust the difficulty to match your student's level. This consistent speaking practice accelerates fluency development in ways that textbook work alone cannot.
Passive vocabulary review (like flashcard apps) has its place, but retention skyrockets when students use words in context and across multiple modalities. Research on learning shows that spacing out practice over time and mixing different types of retrieval practice—speaking, writing, listening—leads to much stronger long-term retention than cramming.
Experienced French tutors use a multi-sensory approach: they might introduce new vocabulary through conversation, have students write sentences using the words, then circle back to those words in future lessons. Tutors also help students identify patterns (like common prefixes and suffixes) so they're not memorizing random words but understanding how French builds meaning. This strategic approach turns vocabulary learning from tedious to manageable.
Many 7th graders struggle with listening because native French speakers talk fast, use contractions, and don't always pronounce every word clearly. The solution is gradual exposure combined with guided practice. Students need to hear French from multiple sources—tutors, podcasts, videos, music—but with scaffolding so they're not just passively listening.
Tutors help by speaking at an appropriate pace during lessons, highlighting key words before playing audio clips, and asking comprehension questions to guide listening. Over time, this trains the ear and helps students recognize spoken patterns they've learned in writing. The combination of tutor-led listening practice plus regular exposure to authentic French content builds comprehension skills steadily.
Both matter, but they serve different purposes. Reading builds vocabulary recognition and exposes students to how French grammar actually functions in context. Writing forces students to produce French and internalize grammar rules through application. In 7th grade, students typically need a balanced approach: enough reading to build familiarity with the language, and enough writing to develop confidence expressing their own ideas.
The ideal balance depends on your student's goals and strengths. If your student is stronger in reading but struggles to write, a tutor can create writing-focused lessons that pull from reading they've done. If speaking and writing feel disconnected, a tutor can integrate them—having students narrate their writing aloud or respond to prompts verbally before writing. Personalized instruction ensures your student develops both skills in proportion to their needs.
Language and culture are inseparable—learning how French speakers actually live, what they value, and how they express themselves gives students deeper motivation and comprehension. Cultural context also makes vocabulary and grammar stick better because students understand not just the mechanics of the language but when and how to use it appropriately.
Tutors bring cultural immersion into lessons naturally by discussing French-speaking countries, explaining idioms rooted in culture, and using authentic materials like French news, music, or literature excerpts. This transforms French from a subject to study into a living language connected to real people and places. Even at the 7th grade level, this cultural engagement dramatically increases student motivation and retention.
The best 7th grade French tutors combine strong language skills with the ability to communicate at a student's level. Look for tutors who have experience teaching middle school students specifically—they understand the developmental stage and know how to make grammar engaging rather than overwhelming. They should be comfortable teaching all four skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening) and able to diagnose where your student struggles most.
It's also valuable to find a tutor who understands your student's curriculum and can align instruction with what's happening in their class. Tutors should be encouraging, patient with mistakes (which are essential to learning), and able to adapt their approach when something isn't working. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, we match you with tutors who meet these criteria and can provide the personalized instruction your 7th grader needs to build both competence and confidence in French.
