I graduated from McGill University (Canada's Harvard) earning a Bachelor's in Spanish and Italian Literature. It was through practice, determination and traveling that I achieved my goal to become multilingual. I had the privilege to be born and raised in a bilingual country, Canada. I did my elementary and secondary schooling in French. In college and in university I decided to study Spanish and Italian extensively in order to work as a translator and interpreter. I have kept all of my school books, tests, exams, homework and exercise sheets since the 11th grade. I have a lot of experience teaching languages to children and teenagers. I strongly believe that the student must surpass his teacher. Therefore, today, I am proud to say that the eleven-year-old Vietnamese girl and boy that I tutored for 5 years are both attending Medical school. In addition, I am proud to say that I speak, write and read in French, English, Spanish, Haitian Creole and Italian proficiently. Whenever I tell people that I speak French, they often assume that it is not my mother tongue language because I have no accent in English. I am always proud to say that I did not know how to speak English until I was 16 years of age. Learning a language is like cracking a secret code. Once you decode it, the treasure is yours.

I graduated from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville with a Bachelor's of Science in Community Health Education and a minor in Psychology. I am currently pursuing my Occupational Therapy doctoral degree at Washington University in St. Louis. I previously tutored English during my senior year of high school and informally assisted with test preparation. I feel comfortable tutoring GRE, ACT and ISEE test preparation, as well as Chemistry and World History. My favorite subject to tutor is standardized test preparation because I find it rewarding to see someone's score improve. I prefer an interactive teaching style because I want the student to have input on their learning style and preferences. My hobbies include yoga, reading, going to the movies, spending time with family and friends and playing with my dog.

I am a graduate of Dallas Baptist University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in History. Currently, I am a grad student at UNT. I will graduate in May 2024 with a Master's in English. I have five years of experience in a public classroom teaching high school Honors English classes. Before that, I homeschooled three of my six children. All in all, I have over 20 years of teaching experience. I tutor English, which includes writing, grammar, reading, and analysis of literature. I tutor study skills, STAAR prep, and SAT prep. I am trained in AP English (Lit and Lang) and have extensive experience with writing fiction. I have a deep love of literature and helping students to learn how to learn. I believe that all students deserve a teacher who is committed 100% to helping them succeed whatever that looks like for them! I am committed to being a hands-on teacher who sees the need of the student first! When I am not teaching I love being with my friends and family. We love to eat out and discover new restaurants in our community. We play games (both board and video), are very active in our local church, and find ways to give back to our community.

I graduated from the University of Redlands with a B.S. in Business Administration and a B.A. in Psychology. I am an experienced elementary and middle school tutor. While I most enjoy teaching English, I have experience tutoring in all middle and elementary school subject areas. I have tutored students in one-on-one sessions and after school "homework help" programs. In my spare time I enjoy running, hiking, swimming and baking. I also volunteer at the San Diego Humane Society.

I am a graduate of Salem State College and received my M.ED in Teaching English as a Second Language. My undergraduate degree was in Early Childhood Education and English. Since graduation, I have taught both high school and Early Childhood students. My passion lies in teaching reading, comprehension, vocabulary and writing. One program I have enjoyed working in the most has been a test prep program for high school students. This program focused on writing skills, answering essay prompts and testing strategies. In my free time, I enjoy reading for pleasure and trying out new recipes.

Hello, my name is Isabel and I am a recent college graduate and a current member of AmeriCorps VISTA. I attended Bryn Mawr College and graduated in May 2018, and began my service here in the Richmond area soon after. I studied Political Science while at Bryn Mawr, and completed my senior honors thesis. I also studied Peace, Justice, and Human Rights. I have a strong love for learning, reading, and exploring.While in high school I taught hundreds of students on a variety of subjects, age ranging fourth grade through high school. My teaching method was focused on empowering the whole individual, so they can understand their learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses and build a plan for success. I also worked hard on helping students develop core competencies such as critical analysis and research skills, to gain the tools for future success in any subject. I believe that every student is capable of greatness, and it is important to work with the individual to understand how they can fulfill their potential.While in college I studied politics, history, environmental studies, philosophy, literature, logic, and a myriad of other topics. I have a diverse array of interests and a love of learning, and I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to work with students and help them on their educational journey.

In my years of tutoring students anywhere from elementary to high school, I've enjoyed getting to meet new faces, work with different learning styles, and make learning engaging! I currently find it exciting to assist students on the honors biology track at the University of Texas at Austin, and I enjoy collaborating/working with students in a variety of STEM and humanities fields.In my free time, I enjoy singing, reading, staying active and spending time outdoors!

I grew up in Salinas, CA and attended local public schools until high school, when I went to a small college-prep school. I started my college career studying Computer Engineering at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, but ended up finishing my bachelor's degree in Philosophy at the University of Arizona in Tucson, where I live now. For a few years, lived in Boulder, Colorado, where I did an MA in Philosophy at the University of Colorado. What I loved most about graduate school was being a Teaching Assistant for Introductory Philosophy courses. I enjoyed communicating the importance of critical thinking and clear argumentative writing. I also had a chance to display my passion for charting the development and influence of big ideas through History. After returning to Tucson, I completed a teaching credential in secondary (7th-12th) education from Pima Community College. With my MA, I am most qualified to teach Philosophy; however, I am "highly qualified" according to the State of Arizona to teach a wide range of subjects, including English, Social Studies, History, Middle School General Sciences, Geography, and Political Science/American Government. I taught English, Health, Ancient Civilizations, Geography, and World History as a high school classroom teacher for a couple years, but I enjoy one-on-one tutoring much more. I have been tutoring independently and through VarsityTutors for about four years now and have ample experience with all aspects of the SAT and ACT. Outside of work and school, I enjoy playing board games and video games. It's my favorite way to spend time with my wife and close friends. I am also a soccer fan, especially of the US Men's National Team.

After obtaining B.S. Degrees in Sociology and Anthropology at Truman State University, I earned a Master's Degree in Education from Lindenwood University. At Lindenwood, I focused on secondary English Education, about which I am quite passionate.I started my career with Special School District of St. Louis County, working at Pattonville High School. There, I taught English, Algebra, and Social Studies classes in conjunction with general education teachers and other special educators. After ten years with SSD, I decided I was ready for a new challenge. I accepted a position at an urban charter school in St. Louis City, teaching 8th grade Communication Arts and literacy.My first love in education is the language arts, and I am comfortable tutoring all levels of English and reading classes, including literature, poetry, grammar and writing. I find words absolutely fascinating and I love having a job where I can share the joy that I find in language. I do, however, have an analytical mind, as well, and am equally happy working with students in math, up through Algebra 1.Since I have worked in special education, my primary strengths as a teacher and tutor are in detailed explanations and step-by-step instruction. This requires patience from me, as well as humor, wit and a mastery of the content. I believe that every learner ought to be given an opportunity to understand and interact with a subject, and I enjoy providing those opportunities to willing students.I love teaching, I love language, and I love working with people.When I am not at work, I love to read, especially mysteries and true stories. I also like card games, word puzzles and board games. I am really big on recycling and doing what I can to take care of the environment. And, truth be told, I absolutely love Facebook: viral videos, memes, photos of friends and family, and, of course, Candy Crush!

Over the past 15 years, I have worked as an educator in a variety of roles. As a tutor, teacher's aide, and teacher, I have worked with students of every age from preschool to adult. I have worked with English language learners in the United States and Japan, tutored middle school, high school, and college students, and worked as a full-time classroom teacher.While my strongest areas are reading and writing, I also spent two years studying engineering and have tutored students in college mathematics courses. I am comfortable describing concepts in chemistry and physics as well.The result of my studies and work in education is flexibility as an educator. I am able to accommodate the subject matter needs of many students, and to modify my instructional style to complement the learning style of the student.Part of what I enjoy about education is learning how to reach a student in the most effective way possible. Drawing on past experience and finding creative ways to illustrate concepts is a stimulating and rewarding endeavor that usually involves a lot of smiles and laughter for both the student and me. I enjoy discussing and discovering connections between subjects, then using those connections to help create a deeper understanding of the material.When I'm not working, I enjoy reading (generally fiction and science fiction), playing basketball and running, and watching NBA games.
