...and Sweden -- ranging from elementary phonics to postmodern literature and Elizabethan revenge tragedy. But irrespective of whether I am teaching pre-K or college, I want to convey a sense of how amazing language and literature are. Hobbies include, but are hopefully not limited to: spending time with my wife, chess, and admiring magpies and other equally intelligent corvids. I also read too much for my own good, and this includes everything from Beowulf to the...

...is not limited to various areas of subject knowledge. In other words, teachers teach exclusively while mentors teach inclusively. If we see the two—teacher and mentor—as opposite ends of a spectrum, I posit a tutor must fall somewhere in the middle. Tutors must possess not only the skills and qualifications, but also the personality and experience(s) necessary to connect with their clients—to mentor them to be better achievers while simultaneously teaching them to be masters...

...my Ph.D. in analytical chemistry. Teaching in a lecture setting was a largely impersonal process. I wanted to teach in a setting where the student was comfortable asking questions, which is not an easy task in a large classroom. Teaching for me has always been more rewarding when doing so in a one-on-one setting. In this scenario, I can easily tailor the lessons to the needs and pace of the student. Teaching with Varsity will allow...

A student who is laughing along with me is much more likely to be engaged than one who's bored the whole time!... Teach them how to...

...academic success. I believe in working with students as individuals and challenging them to go as far as they are capable. Many times this involves more than tutoring.

I have very strong basic math skills, understand Common Core math, and am...

...logic classes in the philosophy department at UW-Madison. Teaching is the most important part of my life, and my role as an educator is what most defines my identity. I have no general guiding principle about teaching, other than that it isn't really useful to think in terms of such principles. Rather, I think that it's best to approach each student as having a distinct learning style and set of educational objectives, and thus, as...
