I am a general chemistry instructor at the college level and also work with researchers in a variety of fields including chemistry, biology, pharmacy and medicine.

I LOVE BIOLOGY. Joking aside I am currently finishing up my masters degree in biology (MBS) from Drexel University and this work is following a bachelors degree in biological sciences (BS) from Rhode Island College. I also and applying to medical schools for the class of 2021 and have experience with both the old and new MCAT and the application cycle so I encourage students if they have questions to ask away. My hobbies include sports, travel, and movies.

I am a graduate from Baylor University, located in Waco, Texas. I received a Bachelor of Arts in French as well as in International Studies. I tutored many of my colleagues during my time at Baylor. I also volunteered my time as a tutor at the local middle school while I was in high school. I tutor in French, a subject I am incredibly passionate about. I initially studied French to get in touch with my French heritage and fell in love with francophone cultures, literature, and more recently, linguistics. I enjoy tutoring in French not only because of my personal enjoyment of the subject, but also because I understand all of the advantages of being proficient in a foreign language. Not only does learning a foreign language allow the ability to communicate with thousands of people in their native or socio-political tongue, but it also allows people to think and learn in an engaging way that is unique to language. There is a mix of patterns as well as abstract thought, working different areas of the brain. The idea of tutoring a subject that has so many complexities and benefits truly excites me. As a tutor, I generally have two goals. First and foremost, I provide individual attention to the pupil according to their individual learning style(s) and needs. I also tend to teach material in a way that will assist them in future lessons, primarily by revealing patterns rather than stressing memorization. Additionally, I recognize the reality of a student needing to improve their grades. My technique to improve grades involves a review of past tests and homework to develop an understanding of the teacher’s primary learning goals. This also helps me to get an idea of a pupil’s thought processes. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, baking, and traveling both around the world and around this amazing country, both for business and for pleasure.

After being a stay at home mom for 15 years, I went back to school to obtain my teaching licensure and my Reading Endorsement for grades K-12 at Ashland University. During my time at Ashland, I was required to complete several hours of tutoring for both high school and elementary students and found that I love helping students on a one on one basis. I have been tutoring for 18 months. I believe in teaching to the individual student. I have developed a hybrid approach to teaching which incorporates different aspects of various styles and gives me the flexibility to tailor a personal style that is right for each student and their coursework.My favorite subject to tutor is reading. Reading was difficult for me as a student, especially during high school and college. I feel that so much time is spent teaching students to learn to read and never enough time teaching them to read to learn. I believe that if a student can be successfully in reading,including comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary, then they can be successful in every other aspect of life!I am available for tutoring at the Elementary level in the subjects of English, reading, writing, grammar, phonics, and mathematics.In my spare time, I enjoy reading suspenseful mysteries, swimming, running, and even still compete in Irish Step Dancing.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in English and Spanish from Howard University and worked as an educator and as a communications administrator for several years post college. During my career as a communications administrator, I enrolled at Massachusetts College of Art and Design in pursuance of my Fashion Design Certificate. My education from MassArt inspired me to become a wardrobe consultant and to found A Balanced Wardrobe LLC. Though I've transitioned from academia to business and fashion, I still rely heavily on my reading and writing skills. These skills transcend all professions, as they are fundamental to our ability to learn and to communicate effectively on paper and in-person. During my years in education, I engaged with many students who struggled in reading and writing, and typically, these same students struggled in other subjects; in math they struggled to read word problems and in science they struggled to write their lab results. Working with these students gave me first-hand experience at how to help students strengthen their comprehension without hurting their confidence. Over time, I found that patience, consistent positive reinforcement and persistent redirection are key, and it is these same techniques that I utilize with my Varsity Tutors students. Without reading and writing skills, I would have never been able to traverse so many different fields and discover my passion, and through tutoring, I hope to help my students achieve the same.

Hi! My name is Stephen and I am from Vestal, NY. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Binghamton University with a B.S in Chemistry in May of 2021, and I am currently pursuing a masters in teaching in chemistry (7-12) at Teachers College, Columbia University. I have 2 years of experience in both TA and tutoring.

I studied at the University of North Florida and Valencia College. I have always been passionate about other languages and cultures, and so I decided to participate in a study abroad experience in Germany through UNF. I started learning German about two years ago, continued to study the language through college, and eventually lived in Germany for almost a year altogether. I reached fluency within 3 months, to the point where I was able to understand and communicate in German quite effectively, and continued to build upon that in the months after. I have experience helping people through the language learning process. Outside of school, I enjoy going out with friends and playing my guitar. I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you through your language courses!

Throughout my professional and academic career, I have always been an enthusiastic learner. Although I have many passions, I am particularly passionate about teaching foreign languages because they open access to different cultures.As a tutor, I hope to not only help you improve your performance in the subject you are studying but also to increase your interest in the subject you have devoted your spare time to master.

As a Real Estate Professional my experience and knowledge extends beyond a decade, covering residential real property, mortgage loans, tax lien certificates and investment education training. I still have a passion and love for this industry and find pleasure in assisting others with the educational guidance and assistance they need to get started in this exciting career!
