Tara
AIMS Prep Tutor • +32 Subjects
I first began tutoring at the University of Arizona Writing Center while earning my B.A. in Creative Writing and Spanish & Portuguese. This position not only gave me the opportunity to work closely with undergraduate students, but also to help high school students edit their personal statements in preparation for college.Upon graduation in 2008, I became a Teach for America corps member. Through the organization, I taught English for two years in the Isaac School District while earning my M.A. in Elementary Education at Arizona State University. During this time I adopted many of Teach for America's core beliefs: that all students should have the opportunity to receive an excellent education; that every student is capable of succeeding; and that family income should not determine a student's academic success.After my two-year commitment to the corps ended, I moved to Japan and taught English through Phoenix Sister Cities. During this time, I had the opportunity to work with students ranging from preschool to adult. I enjoyed traveling to many of Japan's beautiful cities and neighboring countries while learning about the language and culture.Although I have enjoyed my experience in the classroom immensely, I primarily enjoy working with students on a one-on-one basis. This gives me the opportunity to get to know them as individuals and really keep track of their progress. I view tutoring as more of an exchange than traditional teaching; I believe my students and I can work together to solve any problem. When assisting with a writing assignment, for example, it will only be a temporary solution for me to simply pull out a red pen and begin editing. Instead, I prefer to have a conversation with the student to explain the "why" and "how" behind the necessary revisions so that we can improve the piece together.When I am not tutoring, I enjoy traveling, gardening, watching movies, playing racquetball, and spending time with friends and family. As I live near ASU's Tempe campus, I enjoy finding fun things to do in the area such as attending shows at Gammage Auditorium, finding new restaurants to try, and relaxing at Tempe Town Lake.

Marisa
AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +15 Subjects
I am currently completing my fourth year of the B.A. / M.A. Combined Program in English and the Teacher Preparation Program at Stony Brook University. With a strong background in literature, composition, and teaching methods, I believe that I am prepared for the dynamic and exciting challenges of tutoring students for their English classes. Through my coursework, I have designed lesson plans based on the Common Core State Standards. During my field experience in diverse Long Island school districts, I observed engaging lessons and had the privilege of observing the administration and grading of the English Regents Exam. As President and Co-Founder of the Stony Brook Book Club, I led weekly discussions and created a comfortable and intellectually stimulating environment. As a teaching assistant in the Massapequa Public Schools Summer Music Program, I taught students new skills and concepts while encouraging their continued growth. I believe that every student can find a book he enjoys and with the right practice, can express himself through writing. I love to read, bake, and scrapbook in my spare time.

I am most passionate about helping my studentsachieve their goals on this formidable test. In my spare time, I enjoywatching and playing sports, spending time with friends, and readingthe Economist.
Rebecca
AP English Literature and Composition Tutor • +31 Subjects
I am passionate about helping students because I believe in their potential and success. I have been a teacher for over 15 years, and I enjoy working with kids. Watching them comprehend and master new concepts brings me great personal satisfaction. I have a bachelor's degree in English from Towson University and a master's degree in library science from the University of Maryland, College Park, and I lived in Spain during college to improve my Spanish and expand my cultural appreciation and understanding. I greatly enjoy tutoring in writing and Spanish because language and communication are my most natural talents, and communication is an essential skill for any person. My teaching philosophy is that all students can succeed and enjoy learning. My tutoring style is to respond directly to the needs of the student--listen to his/her preferences, insights, and needs, and work responsively. I enjoy travel, music, exploring other cultures.
Kara
Admissions Tutor • +33 Subjects
I am an undergraduate student at the University of Virginia (UVA) originally from Fairfield, Connecticut. I am pursuing my Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Global Public Health on the pre-med track with the hopes of becoming a physician (hopefully in pediatrics). At UVA, I am involved in youth mentoring as a Program Director of "GEMS" (Girls Excited about Math and Science), where I teach exciting lessons and conduct experiments with a class of elementary school girls in a variety of scientific topics, while I am also the Head Program Director of Youth Mentoring at UVA. I was also involved in tutoring throughout high school, where I worked with a group of special needs students. While I tutor in a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Science (especially Biology and Chemistry), and Humanities, which are most strongly reflected in my own studies. In my experience in the areas of reading and writing in particular, strong literary thinking skills helped me to be more creative and set myself apart in many of my applications to college, so I am passionate about helping students of any age to become stronger writers. I am also passionate about enhancing students' skills in critical thinking, especially through STEM topics, which can set students up for success in any difficult course or standardized test. I hope to instill a strong appreciation for education and learning within each of my students, and I believe that the first step is to help students feel more confident in their areas of interest while setting goals for the future. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking and being outdoors, traveling, painting, and playing soccer.
Triana
AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +37 Subjects
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 have a MEd in Secondary English Education, a Masters in Literature, and 15+ years of tutoring or teaching experience. I believe we all need to find our WHY. Mine is to help students who struggle with English and school. I teach students reading and writing skills, but I also teach them to find the joy in education that is often lost when they struggle.
Cameron
AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +12 Subjects
I am a graduate of Kansas State University with a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts degree in English Literature. During my time at Kansas State, I worked as a student tutor on subjects ranging from geology to French, and while pursuing my Master's degree, I taught Expository Writing to college students. While I am experienced with Writing and Language tutoring and enjoy teaching both, I am primarily a standardized test tutor with Varsity Tutors. Test prep combines the challenge of adapting to different learning styles with the high degree of reward that comes from helping a student raise his or her test scores and therefore open doors for that student, and for this reason, it is by far my favorite subject to tutor. I believe that an educator must first appreciate how each individual student approaches a new concept in order to understand the most effective means for that student to progress, and for this reason, I place the utmost importance on the student rather than the subject. When I am not tutoring or substitute teaching, I enjoy playing guitar, watching football and writing fiction.
