I have been teaching literature and writing courses for seventeen years. I earned my Bachelor's degree in English from NYU, and I went on to complete a Ph. D in English at Stony Brook University. I am extremely passionate about my subject. I love interacting with my students, and helping them to feel more confident in their reading and writing skills. I have been helping students to navigate the college admissions process, including preparing for standardized tests and writing the college essay, since I began teaching. My primary motivation is to do anything I can to help each student accomplish his or her goals .

I am a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University with my degree in biology and religion. Following undergrad I obtained my certification in clinical microbiology from Saint Louis University. I worked at Quest Diagnostics for 4.5 years and while at Quest I obtained my Master's degree in Public Health with a Concentration in Biosecurity and Disaster Preparedness. While I was in school I spent four summers as a camp counselor. Additionally, I have experience teaching seminars with adult student and my peers. I am currently a full time infection preventionist at a hospital. which is a job that requires an education focused mindset as I am always teaching best practice and reminding practitioners of their duties to protect patients from infection. It may come as no surprise that my ideal subject to teach is biology or microbiology as they are both my passions. I've spent many years learning the theory and then putting that theory to practice. My outgoing personality and passion for education is evident when first meeting me. I aim to use these qualities about myself to engage my students and get them excited about learning. Outside of work I enjoy reading fiction books, going to lots of outdoor events, and finding new recipes to make.

I am a law student at the City University of New York School of Law and graduated cum laude from Fordham University with a degree in American Studies.As a tutor, I have experience with a variety of grade levels and fields of study, particularly English, History, Public Speaking, and Writing. The constant I bring to every new student is a focus on creating clear learning objectives to help them in their pursuit of life-long learning.Please reach out to me with any questions, I look forward to working with you and your student!

I am a two-time graduate of the University of Oklahoma. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a focus in Military Science and Constitutional Studies in 2015. I recently received my Master's in Adult and Higher Education in December of 2021. I have been avidly involved in residence life through collegiate housing for about 5 years now. I am now an Army veteran with 8 years of completed service time where I served as an HR Officer gaining proficiency in Microsoft Office especially Excel, Word and PowerPoint.My tutoring experience ranges from tutoring my younger siblings to collegiate youth and adults. I have experience working with student-athletes as I served as a housing coordinator for OU Athletics. I have been tutoring via Varsity Tutors for a year now and, while I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English Language and Literature, Spanish, US/World History and Government. I have been studying Spanish since the 6th grade and I was minoring in it in college until I changed my degree path so I can tutor up to about a Spanish 2 or 3 level. I enjoy classic literature and read for fun in my free time.I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life. I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. My parents instilled in me at an early age that knowledge is power. I have grown to truly understand the importance of higher education, while also acknowledging the power of obtaining vocational skills. I strive to operate from a place of empathy and ethic of care with all of the students that I have mentored over the years as I believe in putting the students' needs first before getting to the root of what needs to be learned.

While at USC (University of Southern California) I tutored extensively. Helping younger students was a huge part of my personal growth, as a person and a professional. After receiving my BA in History with a focus on Modern American History, I entered the business world, yet still continued to tutor for about five years. Now that I have 10+ years of professional experience, I have been lucky to travel (both for work and leisure) to seventeen countries, and counting! I have experience tutoring a broad range of subjects, but I am most passionate about Math and History. I am diligent about organization, and feel it is the key to success (in academia and otherwise!) In my spare time, I love reading (mostly American literature and scifi: Kerouac, Hemingway, J.D. Salinger, Orwell, etc.), basketball, hiking, spending time with family, and traveling.

I'm a current junior at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky. I'm passionate about the many wonders of the world on which the physical sciences pontificate. I am in the process of earning my Bachelor's of Science in Chemical Physics with a minor in French Language and Culture. I love to work with others and I'm excited to have the opportunity to learn with you!

I attended Hope College from 2006 to 2010 where I obtained a Bachelor's Degree with a double major in Biology and Mathematics. I then went on to study genetics at Iowa State University for a few semesters.I have tutored students both formally and informally throughout my education. In high school I tutored two students in various math subjects. At Hope I tutored a student in a freshman chemisty class. I have always had a knack for school and have enjoyed helping others understand the subjects I am passionate about. Throughout my education, even in elementary school, I would love helping my friends do better in their schooling, whether that be by just answering a few questions they had, some one-on-one time, or a group study session.I am a tutor for both Biology and Mathematics. My favorite subjects to tutor would have to be genetics and algebra. I have always found the effect that genetics has on both individuals and populations to be intriguing and my favorite classes in high, undergraduate, and graduate school were genetics related. I enjoy tutoring algebra because I find it to be an very natural way to think about problems. I believe anyone can understand it if they are able to think about the problems in the right manner.When tutoring someone who is struggling in a subject, I like to let the student work through the subject while I am there to guide them along. What usually happens in a classroom is the teacher presents information or demonstrates a way to solve a problem and then moves on. If a student does not absorb that information or understand that approach to solving the problem, they become lost. My job is to identify the specific disconnects and try to fill in the gaps in a way that makes sense to this specific student.Outside of work I am pretty low-key. I spend a lot of my free time watching TV shows or movies or playing video games. I also like to play sports when I get the chance, usually soccer or racquetball.

I am an undergraduate student at Nova Southeastern University. I am majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in Global Engagement and Exercise Science. I have been admitted to their Dual Admission BS/DO Program and their Razor's Edge Global Scholarship Program. I plan to attend medical school and become a Physician. Throughout my educational career, I have always enjoyed learning and believe it to be a component to a better quality of life. This has made me a passionate tutor as I wish to help others reach their desired goals and obtain an appreciation for education.I attended South Elgin High School where I tutored my fellow peers in various subjects. Throughout this experience, I realized that there is a difference between muscle memory and a deep understanding. Simply knowing what to do when understanding subjects isn't enough if you don't understand why you are doing it. Therefore, as tutor I aim to help students understand what they are doing when they are accomplishing problems and developing a muscle memory so that they can tackle harder, more critical thinking questions when they are thrown at them. I believe it is important to explain things in terms that students can relate to/ understand better than just memorizing a definition.

I am a graduate of Calvin College, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in French, Spanish and Linguistics. Upon graduating, I spent time teaching both French and English as a Second Language in Ecuador, where I had the opportunity to work with several different age groups in a university setting. Since returning to the United States, I have taught test-taking skills and strategies to students preparing for the TOEFL exam as well as English as a Second Language to immigrant learners in Brooklyn, New York.I recently graduated from Rutgers University with a Master of Arts in Literature in Spanish, where I continue to teach Spanish as I work toward completing a doctoral degree at the same institution. While I tutor French and English in addition to Spanish, Spanish is the language I'm most passionate about both because of my fascination for Latin American literature and culture as well as the fact that students are able to begin practicing the language as soon as they walk out the door and into the Spanish-speaking community. This real world application is at the heart of my teaching philosophy, and I have found that students learn best through a communicative task-based approach that frames language instruction in real world contexts through which students can relate to their own life. When teaching literature and culture to advanced students, this real world focus comes across through my enthusiasm and passion for the experience of life through another world - the world through Spanish. In addition to teaching and tutoring, I enjoy reading all kinds of literature, playing chess, organizing activities at my university, spending time with friends and riding my bike around New York.

I am currently a student studying at the University of Pennsylvania. I am majoring in physics with either a minor or second major in computer science. Ever since my first physics class in high school I have loved to learn about new concepts and topics that expand my understanding of how our world works. I know that for many students subjects like physics and math can seem daunting and difficult, but with a little bit of help these subjects can be much more manageable. I love to see students' "aha" moments when a concept clicks in their minds.
