I am currently a second year Master of Social Work student at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I have spent time teaching English as a language assistant in Madrid, Spain, which allowed me to pursue my interests in languages, traveling, and tapas! I have a great deal of experience working with children of all ages. I have worked as a babysitter, camp counselor, tutor and teacher. I enjoy tutoring all subjects -I like trying to explain subjects in a new way that makes them interesting for my students. I do my best to make learning as fun and creative as possible, using whatever method works best for the student.

One of the greatest accomplishments in life was earning my Bachelor's Degree in Secondary Education/Social Sciences and History at Flagler College in 2011. When I walked across the stage of my graduation I came to the realization that I was the first person in my family to earn a college diploma. Within six months I was hired at Hunter's Creek Middle School in Orlando, Florida as a seventh-grade social studies teacher beginning my five-year career working in education. Little did I realize, those five years would take me all over the country, into different opportunities I never thought were possible.Starting at Hunter's Creek Middle School was daunting at first but I settled in quickly. In my first full year teaching, I was assigned to the Literacy Design Collaborative (LDC) team. Working with a non-for-profit called the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), we worked to increase literacy practice within Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) classrooms. I was also Teacher Leadership Team (TLT) during my first year being recognized as a leader in my school. After then being assigned to the county wide leadership team to standardize lesson plans in the district and assist in Professional Development (PD) for teachers to utilize technology in the classroom while maintaining high standards for students and quality instruction, I was recruited to be a literacy coach with SREB.Working with SREB was a job that brought more than changes to my life, it gave me an epiphany to where I stood in my career. The job required me to travel throughout the southeast to assist teachers in struggling schools to utilize the LDC model in their classroom to increase literacy proficiency. Despite my personal enjoyment of traveling and working, I longed to return to the classroom and work with students. So I resigned from the job and applied to schools in Massachusetts and received a call from my current principal, Nathaniel Higgins. When I talked to Higgins on the phone interview from Orlando, it felt like the situation I wanted to be in.Teaching a year in Springfield has given me that drive I hoped that it would to revitalize not just my career but myself on a personal level. I have realized working with the students that I have that I had so much to learn in terms of pedagogy and classroom management. Maura Faulkner, my Director of Instruction and personal academic coordinator, has consistently observed me in the classroom and given me feedback to further myself as a classroom teacher. The meetings and feedback have made it possible for me to push my students to heights I never thought imaginable looking at pre-assessments from the first week. Andrew Marshall, the Dean of Students, has given me strategies to better manage the classroom and to engage with students for them to understand the purpose of discipline being used in a classroom while letting them still have a voice to represent themselves. This has resulted in a class that is structured but gives students the opportunity to engage in content like never before because the flow of my classes is so much smoother. Nathaniel Higgins, my principal, has given me consistent feedback on how to further my career beyond the classroom and to focus my efforts into becoming an administrator to enact greater change in education on a school wide level beyond the microcosm of my classroom. This encouragement and growth has given me the push to further my education into a Master's Degree in education. With all of these strides, I still wanted more out of my career and applied to Varsity Tutors.The main reason I applied is I want more experience working with students that teaching cannot provide in the time frame I have. Also, I want to work with students from different backgrounds and ages that I currently do not interact with. Tutoring allows me to fulfill these passions and to continue to advance my pedagogy as a teacher.

I have had many years in schooling, started with an undergraduate training in Chemistry, followed by a Masters degree in Organic Chemistry, a Medical Doctorate (MD) degree, and a Doctoral degree (PhD) in Biophysics at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Currently, I am a clinical research fellow at MGH. During this long journey, I have gained a lot of knowledge and accomplishments which put me in a place where I am ready to commit myself to help you prepare for your exams. Teaching is my way of paying back to my own great teachers. Hopefully one day you will continue this cycle.I have had tutored and taught many students, just like you. Some of them are now graduate students and even postdoctoral fellows. I am proud of them and this is the feeling that inspires me for teaching.My teaching strategy is based on a simple concept: Understand not memorize. This may seem obvious but unfortunately sometimes the education system is not based on this key idea. I am here to help you implement this strategy, no matter what area we are going to study together.My favorite subjects to teach are: Chemistry, Math and Biology. My favorite exams to teach include: SAT Math, GRE Quantitative, GRE Chemistry, and the MCAT. In general, any exam related to any of my favorite 3 subjects.I am offering you the knowledge I gained during 4 years of BS in Chemistry two years of MS in Organic Chemistry, four years of MD and six years of PhD in Biophysics, as well as the experience I have from several years of tutoring/teaching and lifelong passion for teaching. With my whole heart I would love to see you achieve much more.Successful teachers are those whose students are even more successful.

My name is Jason Kenneth Mack. I have my Doctorate in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, my Master's in Teaching and Learning with Technology and my Bachelor's in English. I also have a 120 hour Teaching English as a Foreign Language Certificate. I have taught courses in English as a Second Language, Statistics, Psychology, Leadership, Educational Leadership, and Research. I also speak Spanish fluently. I have been teaching students of all ages since 2015. I enjoy teaching because I feel it changes the world for the better!

I received my BA in biology with a concentration in environmental and evolutionary biology from Thomas More College, and my MS in biology from Western Kentucky University. While working on my masters degree, I spent 3 semesters teaching undergraduate general biology and zoology labs. While I am interested in tutoring a variety of subjects, science and biology specifically are my real passions. My scientific education has helped me grow immeasurably and I would love to help others have the same experience. I know first hand that formal education is not always the most effective way of learning. As a tutor, it is my place to step in when that traditional structure has failed, and I relish the opportunity.

I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2019 with a degree in East Asian Languages and Civilizations. I tutor in Mandarin and a range of other subjects. My learning style is fun, upbeat, humorous, and detailed.As a student, I've taken coursework in public policy, linguistics, literature, film, art history, and languages.I worked as a literacy tutor for 4 years with preschool students. I loved being in the classroom, building a relationship with all of my students based on mutual respect and a love of having fun. While I have a lot of fun learning with younger students, I enjoy working with scholars of all ages.

I am a sophomore at Rutgers University studying Computer Science. I have a lot of experience working with both younger children and teenagers, as I have been a volunteer tutor for the past four years. Tutoring in English is always fun for me, as I have been an avid reader since I was a young child, and it is a subject that I have always enjoyed. Moreover, I also like to tutor in math and math related subjects, because I myself often struggled with math when I was younger, and I found it very frustrating. Now that I am older, I realize the reason I found it so uninteresting was because it was taught too quickly without any real discussion of what we were doing. I now make sure that all of my students understand the fundamental ideas behind the materiel they are learning, and this allows them to ace their exams easily.

I enjoy working with elementary students so they can learn their full potential. I have worked with special education and general education students in an elementary school setting. I like to teach the core subjects and watching the student light up when they have learned something new is the best part about teaching! I have also taught social and communication skills.

Recent graduate pharmacist with over 5 years of experience in instructing, facilitating, and tutoring students enrolled in developmental math courses and other college level courses. Each student I have assisted has successfully passed their course-specific exam(s) and transitioned into their area of study. Coupled with my servant leadership and strong interpersonal communication skills I believe I can surpass your expectations as your next tutor.

I graduated from Baldwin Wallace University with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish Literature/Language and Political Science and with a minor in Legal Studies. After graduation, I spent the last two years serving with City Year Cleveland as a Student Success Coach. In this role, I supported a Partner Teacher, in a 4th and 5th grade Science and Social Studies classroom for my first year and a 4th and 5th grade ELA and Math classroom for my second, through in-classroom assistance as well as additional tutoring outside of the classroom. These tutoring sessions were mostly small groups, however, I did have the opportunity to work with individual students often. I also facilitated extra preparation sessions for Ohio State Testing (OST) for my 4th- and 5th-grade students. I love to learn and I love to make learning fun for students, especially in ways that feel meaningful and interesting to them. In my free time, I like playing video games, practicing my Spanish on Duolingo, re-reading books from my childhood, and spending time with my two cats, Rhubarb and Strawberry.
