Chae

Algebra Tutor • +45 Subjects

I'm a rising sophomore at Tufts University, considering majors/double majors in Political Science, American Studies, and International Relations with a possible minor in Asian American Studies. In the fall, I will be a Host Advisor the Tufts' Global Orientation, a pre-orientation program for incoming freshmen.In high school, I worked with elementary school students and tutored them in English and Reading. I was also the head of my school's Debate and 21st Century Forum Clubs. 21st Century Forum is a club that facilitates weekly discussions on social justice and diversity-related issues.At Tufts, I am a part of the Debate club and also a part of Generation Citizen, which is a non-profit organization that works with college students and places them at local middle and high schools. I taught action civics at a local high school and mentored and guided students with identifying problems that they saw in their local communities and with creating a project that tackled the issue of their choice. As a part of Generation Citizen and through teaching my class, I have been able to sharpen my teaching and interpersonal skills.My favorite subject to tutor in is essay writing. I really enjoy tutoring in essay writing because I enjoy reading the variety of and diverse ideas that students have when they write their essays. I'm excited about tutoring in essay writing because I love seeing students gain more confidence and have more fun with their writing. I, myself, initially struggled with my writing skills throughout my time in high school. However, as I have improved my own writing skills and have better learned to write stronger and more persuasive essays, I have also had more interest and more confidence when I'm writing. I want to help students gain not only more confidence with their writing so that they can better identify the issues that they see in their writing and also gain more independence and ownership over what they write, but also more fun and desire to experiment with writing, writing styles, personal expression, and persuasive arguments. Writing skills are always important and I want to help students with bolstering these skills that will be necessary for them in and out of the classroom.I also attended a private school and have experience with practicing for and taking the ISEE, so I am also happy to tutor in that subject as well. I have also taken the SAT and would also be willing to tutor in SAT preparation as well.

Lena

AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +47 Subjects

I am currently a Political Science and Environmental Studies major at Brown University. I find it extremely satisfying to share my passion for learning with others. From 2011 through 2013, I tutored middle school students in the Oakland Public School system through the Partners Program. From 2014 to 2015, I was employed as a private tutor for students both in middle school and in high school. Over the last year I have tutored international high school students online in test preparation, as well as various academic subjects. I have more informal teaching experience as a counselor intern naturalist at the Point Reyes Nature Science Camp as well. These jobs have been extremely rewarding, as I have had the opportunity to help my students better understand new concepts and form strong study habits. I also have learned how to explain problems and concepts in multiple ways. When I'm not tutoring, I love photography, playing softball, and backpacking long distance trails.

Hey! I'm a a high school graduate headed off to college at Haverford, a top college near Philly. I specialize in both math and writing, often tutoring my friends and volunteering at the writing center. I've taken many dual enrollment math courses at local colleges, including Calculus 1,2, and 3, as well as linear algebra. I also do a lot of test prep, as I've actually taken the SAT 5 times and scored a 1590, so I'm very used to standardized testing. I love helping people, so I hope I can help you!

Leonardo

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +38 Subjects

I have an MEd in Curriculum and Instruction and a BA in French and Romance Linguistics from the University of Washington. I'm currently an elementary school paraeducator in Highline school district, WA, where I help K-5th/6th grade children with reading and math. I was a teaching assistant at French Immersion School of Washington from July 2018- March 2019. I taught ESL in China from Aug. 2011-Aug. 2012 at Optimum English, Linyi, Shandong, and Sep. 2012-Mar. 2018 at Learning Education, Shanghai. I taught French as a teaching assistant for the University of Washington from Sep. 2010-Aug. 2011.In my tutoring, I incorporate what I've learned from my research in Curriculum and Instruction and Multicultural Education, as well as from my own teaching experience. I know the value of using curricula as guidance about what a student should be able to accomplish in a specific subject at a certain age or educational level. Moreover, whenever and wherever I tutor, I'm passionate about adjusting the curricula I use in ways that are relevant to my students' culturally and socially-influenced learning styles. I'm always primarily concerned with helping my students attain the goals that they see as right for themselves. I think it's important to let each student be their own kind of learner.I have been tutoring clients with Varsity Tutors since May 4, 2018. I have tutored various subjects including elementary reading, writing and math, French, ELL/ESL, high school and college English literature, study skills, and algebra. I could also assist with Portuguese and perhaps beginning Spanish, as well as test prep (SAT, ACT). In China I tutored various ELL/ELL clients of all ages. In high school and college I tutored a few students in French as well.My future goals include pursuing a secondary teaching certificate and teaching ESL, French, and possibly other languages in public school. I have thought someday I would like to be able to start a language teaching nonprofit.

I am a student at the University of Michigan studying pre-med. I am majoring in Cognitive Science and minoring in the History of Medicine. Outside of Varsity Tutors, I volunteer as a tutor for the Detroit Educational Society, in which I help underprivileged students in Detroit study for the ACT and SAT. When it comes to the student-tutor relationship, I believe that a tutor's job is to provide a safe place for the student to ask questions and to make mistakes, while the role of the student is to come prepared and be ready to improve.

Passionate journalist and editor committed to the truth; adept in research, writing and production.Seeking position in publishing, radio, writing or advocacy.I received a Bachelor of Arts in journalism at The Ohio State University in May 2017. Also studied Spanish and cultural anthropology. I have written for: the Ohio State Lantern, the Ohio State School of Communications, the Ohio State Office of Energy and Environment (OEE) and the Springville and Ellicottville Times. I have also ran social media campaigns for the OEE and Global Gifts in downtown Columbus, Ohio.While at Ohio State I also tutored with Student Athlete Support Services which provides tutoring services to the Division I and II athletes at Ohio State. SASSO had very strict tutoring policies, through which I developed a professional but personal tutoring style. I focus on patience -both in myself and the student-, re-teaching -meaning the student re-teaches the material to me so I know it's understood- and fun. What is learning without fun?While I'm still pursuing a writing career, tutoring is a wonderful addition to my life. I'm excited to teach the next generation of bright new minds!
