Christina
Criminology Tutor • +5 Subjects
My career as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker has provided me with an amazing opportunity to help others. I have 2 Master's degrees: Masters of Science in Social Work and Masters of Science in Couples & Family Therapy. My undergraduate degree is in Psychology. I took a non-traditional route to getting my secondary education as I was married, had children and worked while also attending classes and excelling in pursuit of personal growth. I truly understand the struggles of managing LIFE while trying to better yourself.During the first 22 years of my working life I was a licensed insurance agent in life, health and accident coverage. During this career I literally taught thousands of adults how to understand the complex world of employer sponsored health benefits and how to make important coverage decisions to best protect themselves and their families.During the first 3 1/2 years of my second career I provided family therapy to improve home environments in order to assist families in overcoming generational cycles of poverty, abuse, neglect and crime. I helped these families by providing psycho-education, working with them to improve numerous different skills from nutrition to educational attainment to use of healthy coping mechanisms and reducing recidivism in the juvenile justice system.I currently provide TeleHealth counseling services to couples and individuals all over the world utilizing Integrative therapy techniques. I also teach college courses as an adjunct professor in Psychology, Cultural Awareness & Criminology.My life goal is to use my life experiences, personal knowledge, education and strengths to help others improve their quality of life by sharing knowledge, skill building and providing support.
Sally
Academic Coaching Tutor • +65 Subjects
I am an undergraduate student at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I am majoring in both Mathematics and Literature, Media, & Communication (LMC). My LMC concentration is in Science, Technology, & Culture, as well as Literature. I have been tutoring since high school, and have gained a lot of experience with the ups and downs of learning. I initially started out tutoring math, but over time I have grown to love tutoring literature as well.I believe that tutoring is a job that needs to be customized to the needs and learning style of each student, so I try to pay attention to what works and what doesn't as I get to know each student more. A tutoring session is unsuccessful if my student doesn't laugh at least once at a bad joke I make or a sarcastic comment. Tutoring should be fun, enriching, and empowering for everyone involved.In my spare time I watch a lot of Netflix, make music or art, and ponder life's many mysteries.
Peter
Algebra Tutor • +66 Subjects
Hello fellow students!My name is Peter, and I currently live in Park Slope. I've just moved into the neighborhood with a friend from college after spending a year living in London. Before that I graduated college (Princeton) where I studied History. I'm excited to be back on the East Coast and to get a chance to continue working with students!While I'm comfortable work with students of all ages, my most recent teaching experience was serving as a volunteer teacher's assistant for sixth, seventh, and eight graders in English, Math, and Science. Before this experience, however, I have worked as a coach, mentor, and tutor with students age 9-18 on and off for the past ten years.I enjoy learning with students of all skill levels, and hope to be able to help you soon!

While learning how to apply these skills in real life situations using both math and science topics, respectively. I like to tailor lesson plans and study strategies to that particular student (as we are all unique) to ensure each student understands the concepts completely.I love to help any and all students ranging from the inquisitive mind to a struggling student trying to achieve an A+ in class!

Catharine
Algebra Tutor • +19 Subjects
I grew up in Decatur, Georgia attending some of the best Atlanta public schools. After graduating from the University of Georgia's business school, I worked in benefits consulting for the first three years after college. Through a volunteer organization called Junior Achievement, I had the opportunity to teach personal finance classes in Atlanta public high schools, and in the classroom I found my true calling. While I enjoyed my experience in Corporate America, my passion is teaching mathematics and economics to our youth and helping them find their own paths and passions. I will graduate this May with my Master of Arts in Teaching degree. In my free time, you can find me cooking, running, traveling, and reading.
Vanessa
6th Grade AP Language Composition Tutor • +50 Subjects
Growing up in Miami, Florida it was hard to find someone to help me with school, as many people that live there are non-native English speakers. I saw this gap in education in many first-generation American students like myself. Therefore, I took it upon myself to create a mentoring program where I had my first tutoring experience. I had students from elementary to high school and was able to tutor them on various topics, especially science, which is my passion! I was able to discover my own learning style and it allowed me to thrive in medical school. My goal is to help my students learn their own learning style and become independent learners. As a new doctor, teaching is fundamental in our growth as practitioners, as we are always teaching patients about their diseases and management.I am passionate about helping students because I know how it feels when someone tries to teach me something but doesn't take the time to explain it. Memorizing things is easy, however, once you truly understand something, you know it forever.I took this passion with me all the way to medical school and was hand selected by the pathology professor to become the teaching assistant at my medical school. As a teaching assistant, I was able to hold both full-class and one-on-one tutoring sessions. Pathology is notoriously the most difficult class in medical school, so I was honored to be selected as the tutor as the professor selects the two highest performing students in her class. I am looking forward to starting medical residency next year, because as a physician, I will always be a lifelong learner and teacher.Science is my favorite subject to learn and tutor because there is a lot of reasoning involved. People often think that science is solely memorization however this is a misconception. Science is highly organized, and works in systems. Once one understands a specific system or concept that is being studied, it makes the rest of the work so much more fun.Outside of medical school, I love to cook, go for a long bike ride, head to the beach or catch the latest musical (pre-covid of course). I work hard in my studies but always make some time for friends, family and myself. I'm looking forward to getting to know you as a student and your learning style to meet your academic goals!

College English Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am a lifelong learner with a Masters from Columbia University in Organizational Psychology and a BA from University of California, Irvine in Psychology and Social Behavior with an emphasis on K-12 education. I have worked with a range of students throughout my academic career as a peer counselor, tutor and and career development coach. Additionally, I have worked in HR (specifically recruitment and engagement) for over 5 years, coached a young soccer team in my hometown and volunteered at the UN in NYC before becoming an independent consultant.The diversity of the people I have worked with has provided me with ways to make my approach useful and flexible in many different environments. With these varying experiences, backed up by theories and studies about learning styles, teambuilding skills, personality assessments; I have found a sweet spot in tutoring and coaching students to become confident and independent in the work they do. I appreciate the individualized approach that Varsity Tutors provides to its clients and am excited to give back to the community.
