...that I tutored. I very much enjoyed my time as a Calculus II tutor at Washington University in St. Louis, and was sad to see my work come to an end due to graduation.

My tutoring style is centered around the development of organizational skills. I firmly believe that in order to succeed...

...University of Kansas with extensive experience in history and writing courses and am hard working, patient, and well-organized. As a history major, most of my major assignments were writing assignments. Most of these assignments were either papers or exam essays. In eight history classes, I have gotten seven A's and one A-. I attribute much of my success largely to my writing skills, especially my outlining and revising strategies. I have also done very well...

Welcome to my page! I just graduated from University of Missouri-Columbia with my BS in Biology. In August, I'll be heading to UMKC School of Dentistry. I'm hoping to use this summer to help someone else get ahead academically. I've tutored college-level biology courses at Mizzou, but am comfortable with a variety of science courses at any level.

...currently a freshman at the University of Pittsburgh, majoring in Neuroscience. My experiences in tutoring have come from working at a nearby center called "Perfect Tutors" and from helping classmates at my after school academic resource center. I really enjoy getting to know and helping kids learn. I've worked with kids from the age of 4 in summer camps up to high schoolers. Whether I'm teaching Math, Science, or Reading, the best part about my job...

...removed from academia, I still consider myself an intellect at heart. Stints at New York University's Stern School of Business and Northwestern University have given me extensive scholastic training, and running my own private tutoring service throughout college as a means of making a living has helped me exercise and refine my skill set as a personal academic instructor. Partnering up with Varsity Tutors has provided me with a golden opportunity to continue helping students...

I feel I have the skills necessary for this position. I am able to successfully communicate complicated topics in a way that students understand, as shown through my success as a TA in raising student's grades. I have the knowledge necessary to teach the subjects at...

...University for both undergraduate and graduate degrees. I have a Bachelor of Business Administration focused in management and a Master of Business Administration specialized in Healthcare Administration. Although my degrees are both in business, my educational background is broad spanning from biology to corporate communication to business.

...daunting tasks that go along with reading a novel or drama, learning critical thinking skills and outlining, drafting and editing a critical analysis essay. However, there is no greater joy than seeing the pride that a student feels in his or her work upon completing this type of task. That is why I love English. I have a very unique style of tutoring. When I taught, I had 120 students who learning and reading levels...

...MO. I went to high school in a small southeast Kansas town, but I have always considered Kansas City my home. I originally majored in Atmospheric Sciences. I have always had an obsession with the fascination of weather phenomena. However, I changed my major to Mathematics. I wanted to have a more diverse degree for career opportunities. I will say that I would love to go back and take some weather forecasting classes just for...

Eager to hone my teaching skills prior to entering graduate school to pursue becoming a professor in astrophysics. I offer an individualized approach to a variety of subjects, including math, physics, and standardized test prep. Looking forward to meeting with you!

...frustration math can cause. I believe that math does not have to be the enormous obstacle we have made it out to be; all people can learn the math necessary to feel confident in real-world situations involving logic, computation, or problem solving with numbers. When I work with a student, I always start by getting to know that person, finding out what they enjoy and what goals they have for themselves. Then I relate the...

...those the chance to shine. I use positive error correction and don't focus on mistakes for too long per session, because we can always revisit it as lessons go on. Learning should not be scary. Students should feel free to ask questions and be wrong, or right, or close. Fear of being wrong keeps a student from realizing how close they are to "getting it". Teaching is collaboration. Rewarding and positive correction are the best...

...to the audience receiving the information, while also keeping their attention and helping them have fun (okay, okay... the fiery explosions might've helped a bit). During my undergraduate studies, I worked as an undergraduate teaching assistant (UTA) for the Undergraduate Biology Lab Department, teaching introductory biology labs as well as biology labs for non-biology majors. From the perspective of student and teacher, it seems that having an instructor who is enthusiastic about the material and...

...gave me valuable lessons in teaching patiently and creatively. Each student and academic situation are unique, and as such, requires varying teaching methods. I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach, but instead, strive to meet each student where they are and adapt the content to fit each students learning needs and preferences. Some of my other interests include traveling the globe, running long distance, all things outdoors (kayaking, camping, horseback riding, and the like), spending...

My ultimate goal is to strive for the highest and to inspire those with whom I interact to do the same. Be the best that you can be, and be proud of the things you do.

As a teacher and tutor, one of the things that I enjoy most is helping students find the confidence to tackle their challenges in academics. I aim to understand each student to the best of my ability in order to provide valuable learning tactics for an ever changing world.

...in middle and high school, in addition to assisting some of my friends in preparation for the GRE, particularly with Quantitative Reasoning. My favorite subjects to tutor are Anatomy/Physiology and math. Anatomy and Physiology are fun to tutor because there is a lot of logic involved with them and by ensuring the understanding of the basic concepts with these courses, you can logically work through any complex question presented to you. These classes also get...
