Daniel
Algebra Tutor • +31 Subjects
I was a doctoral student in Mathematics at The Ohio State University before moving to Los Angeles. I've been tutoring math since high school and started teaching courses as an undergraduate. Combined, I have over nine years of experience teaching and tutoring mathematics at the grade school, high school and post-secondary levels, from pre-algebra to differential equations. My goal in tutoring is to create an environment that students can enjoy learning in, understanding how they think and what approaches will work best for them, and ensuring that they have a strong fundamental background for future success in their academic careers.
Carla
AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +25 Subjects
I received a Bachelor's degree in English with a secondary field (minor) in French at Harvard College. For my honors creative thesis in poetry, I wrote 52 original poems, centered on themes of transit, transience, nature, and urban life (particularly how these categories intersect). I also created and taught humanities courses to high school and middle school students through the Educational Studies Program at Harvard. Through this group, I co-founded ESProut, a program focused on bringing free after-school classes to under-resourced schools in the greater Somerville area, through which I taught French and poetry. Following graduation, I spent the school-year working as an English language teaching assistant at a high school in Bordeaux, France where I created lessons focusing on grammar, vocabulary, idiomatic speech, and culture. This past year, I received my master's in English at the University of Cambridge, writing a dissertation on trans-Atlantic/trans-cultural poetry with a focus on Walt Whitman, T.S. Eliot, and Jules Laforgue. Many summers have found me working as a residential assistant for Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth, where I often would run the ever popular Seuss & Silverstein appreciation session. My ultimate goal is to become a high school English teacher and I am interested in becoming involved in educational policy at the national level later on in my life. Teaching is a joy that has always rivaled the happiness I receive from reading a great poem or communicating in another language. English and French literature are the two great passions of my life, and it is when I'm teaching that I feel most like I am doing meaningful and rewarding work. When I'm not reading poetry or practicing my French, I like boogie-boarding (a recently acquired skill), hiking, baking (often French desserts), and knitting.

Hello!My name is Natalie, I am a freshman at the University of Southern California and I'd love to be your tutor! I currently teach SAT Prep through CollegeSpring, a local nonprofit which assists historically underserved high schools in preparing students for the college admission process. Through this position I have realized how rewarding it is to share my passion for learning with others, and I hope to continue doing so by working through VarsityTutors.

Bonjour! I am a native speaker of French, fluent in English.

I also organized or contributed to group conversations chatting in French on many topics (France & French speaking countries or regions, food, films, music, news etc.) I also have experience in tutoring learners of French and English. I can tutor children, teenagers and adults.I love learning and teaching. My students praise my clear explanations and how I am dedicated to my work. I enjoy witnessing the improvement of students. I am sociable, meticulous, and organized.
Brittany
AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +15 Subjects
I received my Bachelors from the University of California Santa Cruz in Psychology, graduating Cum Laude. While attending college I had the opportunity to work for the University's Learning Support Services as a tutor and mentor for my fellow students. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Women's Studies, Sociology, Psychology, Writing, and Research. Few things are as rewarding to me as helping others to achieve their goals in and out of academia. I find that passing on healthy work and study skills provides the highest long-term success rate for my students, so they can continue being confident learners even when I am not aiding them. Anyone studying hard deserves to play hard, and in my spare time I love to hike, travel, read, and craft.

Claire
Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a credentialed teacher with ten years of experience. I have an M.A. in Teaching from USC (Multiple Subject/K-6) and a B.A. in Music from Pomona College. I have taught individual and group violin lessons from age 3 to adults throughout L.A., and I have taught general music in the Lawndale School District and at YOLA (Youth Orchestra L.A.) at HOLA (Heart of LA youth center in the Rampart District). I student-taught in general elementary school classrooms (2nd and 5th grade), and have tutored students at YOLA.No matter what the subject, my focus has always been on finding the unique strengths of each individual student, and building on those strengths to approach areas of struggle. I enjoy working with students with diverse learning styles and discovering the unique ways each student takes in and understands information. I firmly believe that everyone is smart in their own way, and I love to discover and appreciate each student's way of learning and thinking. I believe that we all construct our own knowledge through experience - we learn by doing, by experimenting, trying, and experiencing - and I encourage my students to try out and adjust their own strategies, instead of always expecting them to do it my way.I am an artist, writer and musician (I led a folk band for 5 years). I am an avid public transit rider and often get around by bicycle. I enjoy gardening and I am passionate about building community.
Chelsea
Algebra Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am currently finishing my Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience at the University of Southern California and will continue onto medical school in the fall of 2015 at USC. I have also completed a portion of my studies at the University of Oxford in the UK. I have been tutoring for the last five years and specialize in a variety of subjects at the middle school, high school, and college level - from Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics to Psychology, English, and French. I enjoy helping students develop their study habits, time management skills, reading, writing, and critical thinking abilities at many levels. I truly believe that all students have the potential to excel academically, and it's my pleasure to help them discover the key to unlocking their success. My tutoring style varies depending on the subject and student, but my core philosophy is that tutoring has the greatest long-term effect when students develop a passion for learning and acquire the critical thinking abilities and study habits to last throughout a lifetime. In addition to academia, I spend time teaching health workshops in under-served areas of Los Angeles. I also enjoy running, yoga, and spending time outdoors.

Nick
10th Grade Reading Tutor • +31 Subjects
I am a British Citizen schooled in the UK, and I graduated from Huddersfield University and The London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art, London. My subjects were Theater Studies and Professional Acting. As a tutor and workshop leader, I have taught English Language, Comprehension, Composition and Critical Analysis. I have also worked with students with specific learning difficulties, such as dyslexia, to help them create effective work and study strategies in school and universities in the UK.My passion for tutoring is in helping students gather a "learning kitbag of tools." I like to help set in place a way of approaching work that students feel confident with and can implement without supervision.My personal literary interests are in Shakespearian text, modern fiction, and history- particularly British and Roman. Outside of that, I am a religious player of the ukulele, guitar, and bass, and as an actor, I have worked for The Royal Shakespeare Company, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, London, The Royal Court Theatre, London as well as West End and Regional Theatre. On screen my credits include work for Warner Brothers, Paramount, HBO, BBC & TNT.I currently live in Los Angeles with my wife and my dog.
