I'm a professional illustrator and graphic designer with over 20 years experience. I graduated Fort Hays State University with a BFA in Graphic Art but, as soon as I entered the design/marketing industry, I was able to hone my digital drawing skills (primarily Adobe Illustrator) and it has become my chief occupation. I enjoy telling stories with character designs and scenes, but I have great appreciation and still create graphic elements like logos, typography, game design (activities such as word games, mazes, etc) and other forms of fun visual communication. My goal is to share my knowledge and guide those who either are just beginning this craft or are wanting to further their skills and bring their own personality into their work.

I am a 2011 graduate of James Madison University and 2013 graduate of Pennsylvania State University. I hold both a B.S. and an M.S. in chemistry. I've taught General, Organic, and Advanced Organic Chemistry Laboratory in addition to being a TA for Organic Chemistry lectures. As a Varsity Tutor, I tutor high school chemistry (general, honors, and AP), test prep (Regents, SAT Subject Test in Chemistry, GRE Chemistry), General Chemistry lecture, Organic Chemistry Lecture, and Inorganic Chemistry lecture.My tutoring style is student-centered. I believe it is my job to provide students with the tools to solve chemical problems, not to solve problems for them. The most common problem I've encountered in learning Chemistry is application. An individual can understand Geometry because they can build a fence. You can understand Physics because you can calculate how fast a baseball is thrown. But how do you understand problems on a molecular scale? I've successfully battled this obstacle since I was a sophomore in college and I look forward to continuing to succeed with my students.Outside of being a tutor, I love all things soccer. I have played since high school and keep active with my company's team. I can play any position, but I'm a trained goalkeeper. Additionally, I love watching soccer. I'm an avid Liverpool fan and I am looking forward to the 2014-2015 season!

Hi! I'm Melanie and I am a former 10th and 12th grade English teacher who specializes in essay writing, test taking (English for standardized exams, American and British literature). I am currently a freelance copywriter and author.

I am a certified high school special education teacher who works in general education Algebra, English, and Biology classes supporting students with learning differences. I am also certified to teach grades 1-8 in general education and I am pursuing National Board Certification. I graduated from ASU in 2017 with a Bachelor's in Special Education and Elementary Education and a Minor in Family and Human Development. I am dedicated to supporting the success of all students! I believe all students can be successful when provided instruction tailored to their strengths, interests, and learning needs.

Teaching has been a passion of mine for many years. I love everything to do with English, including any kind of writing or reading, and helping students develop their skills and interests in these subjects is something I care deeply about. In the last five years of working as an English teacher, I have enjoyed using many methods to help students better understand the complexities of writing essays, reading literature, and communicating their thinking. Each time I see a student reach a goal, or understand something he or she did not before, I remember how much I love to teach.I know the feeling of struggling with a subject. I know that when you don't understand something, you can feel cut off, unheard, and sometimes hopeless. I also know that when you get help from someone who can really listen and understand what you need, it is such a relief. If you want an experienced, patient tutor who will really listen to you, then I am a great choice for you!

I am a second-year student at Virginia Commonwealth University's Honors College. I am double majoring in Biology and Bioinformatics with a concentration in biological/genomic sciences and minoring in chemistry on the pre-medicine track.I worked as a manager at Kumon Math and Reading Center for two years. I interacted with students of all ages including those with learning disabilities. Through high school, I volunteered as a tutor and helped in multiple subject areas. In addition, I am a trained mentor for Mentor Collective.I am passionate about helping others excel in their academic pursuits. Tutoring has been an essential part of my academic experience and I hope to provide the same guidance. The goal I give myself is to allow my students to reach the same level of confidence in their abilities.

As a graduate student in mathematics, I teach and tutor college students in calculus and algebra almost every day. With classroom teaching experience in algebra, trigonometry, probability, and calculus, and one-on-one tutoring experience in algebra 1 through calculus, I have the experience and expertise to help you understand whichever area of math you need.I am also fluent in Spanish, and can tutor from high school through intro college Spanish, as well as tutor math in Spanish.Outside of the classroom, I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and rock climbing, as well as playing jazz guitar. I am also an avid reader (when I have the time), and I enjoy reading both fiction and nonfiction.

I received my BA cum laude in American Studies from Yale University in 2013, and worked for the past two years as the Exhibit Content and Media Coordinator at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate. My experiences have given me insight into the best methods for teaching students in an exciting and engaging way, and I am excited to put these skills to work.I love working with students to perfect their essays, digging into the fundamentals of good writing to make sure we build lasting writing skills. My passion for history and writing, my skills as an editor and writer, and my comfort working with students of all ages make me a great fit for anyone seeking tutoring in history, literature, writing, and essay editing, or standardized test prep in those areas!My specialties are in writing, editing, history, and literature. As an American Studies major at Yale, I developed excellent analytical and creative writing skills. My senior thesis in American Studies examined the visual language of race and power in Korean war photography. Outside the classroom, I served as editor-in-chief of The Bullblog, Yale???s daily campus blog. I also served as a teacher in the Hillel Children???s School, a Jewish learning program for students aged K-8. In my role as classroom teacher, I was in charge of lesson planning, classroom management, and teaching Hebrew and Judaic studies to classes of middle school students.An important part of the mission at Varsity Tutors is working with students to engage them in learning. Similarly, my job at the EMK Institute was to frame public policy in a way that inspired people to become more civically engaged. As the Institute???s Exhibit Content and Media Coordinator, I was a hands-on developer of the Institute???s Senate Immersion Module program, in which students craft mock legislation in a full-scale replica of the Senate chamber. I worked alongside teachers to design educational programs, lesson plans, and curriculum that effectively communicated content to students and teachers. I also worked directly with middle and high school students, teaching them historical lessons and engaging them in debates on historical topics related to the United States Senate. I also honed my communication and classroom skills by training the first class of volunteer docents for the museum. It was my job to produce the 100-page training manual and to teach all of the historical content to the new tour guides. My experience at the EMK Institute gave me experience in a cutting-edge educational setting and prepared me for tutoring, particularly for middle and high school students.Please contact me with any further questions!
