I got my undergraduate degree at Brown University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in creative writing and psychology.While I'm passionate about a wide range of subjects, I particularly love tutoring writing and anything that requires analytical reasoning.In my free time, I box, lift weights and write comedy.

I am a graduate of the University of Florida, where I majored in English and minored in Linguistics. I truly love writing and have a passion for spelling and grammar. I am confident that I can help any student become a better writer.Throughout high school, I worked with a boy through his third and fourth grade years to improve his writing skills for the FCAT, the state standardized exam in Florida, which he successfully passed at the conclusion of my tutelage.Standardized testing has always come naturally to me and I scored very well on my SAT test. I would be happy to pass along any tips and tricks I can to help students score higher. My specialty is in process of elimination and strategic guessing.Additionally, I have always been good with Mathematics and Spanish. I tutored my peers in Math throughout all of middle and high school. I love Spanish and studied it for seven years (up until mid-college). One high school sophomore I helped in Spanish raised her D+ to an A!While a majority of my tutoring experience is from high school, I have had plenty of leadership experience since that has kept me aware of successful teaching methods. I was a camp counselor for elementary-aged children for four consecutive summers (2008-2012), and I was a leader and choreographer for my college dance team from 2008 to 2011.I have top-notch communication skills and a fun personality. I would be thrilled to help students achieve their education goals.

Hello, My Name is Lexy!I am going to be a senior at the University of Minnesota -- Twin Cities, studying biology, hoping for a medical degree in the distant future. I have had plenty of experience in science courses as well as many other types of course. A little bit more about me, I absolutely love music and art, really anything artistic I have tried! One of my favorite things to do is play guitar.I came to Varsity Tutors to help people out with some of the classes that are hard to wrap around, hard to focus on, or just plain hard. I understand that at times it is really difficult to try again and again to get to a solution and never come up right. So I'm here to help out a bit, wherever I can. If you need a different way of looking at the problem, a different way to learn the material, or just someone to help work through it with you. I can provide that kind of help. I am very open to suggestions and hope that I can help you learn what you need to learn in a fun, educational environment!

I'm currently teaching at De La Salle Institute on Chicago's south side. At De La Salle I teach American Literature, AP English IV, and Journalism. I'm also the Yearbook Moderator, ACT Test Prep Writing Instructor, and a member of our One Book, One School committee.In my free time I'm an avid runner, and I've run the past three Chicago Marathons.I enjoy Chicago sports and cheer on the Sox, Bulls, Hawks, and Bears.I rescued a dog three years ago and he has become one of the greatest joys in my life.

I believe that the confidence to apply your knowledge is as important as building a store of knowledge to draw from for academic success. As a teacher, I strive to accurately identify my students weaknesses and strengths before bolstering them with my own knowledge. I want my students to gain an understanding of the fundamentals of the subject that they are struggling with. This kind of understanding will help not only with immediate academic gains, but with future success as well. In school environments, students often do not receive individualized attention that seeks out the gaps in their understanding. By spending time with my student, I can assess those gaps and fill them, helping my students improve.All the knowledge in the world will amount to naught if you don't have the confidence to apply it. I build up my student's confidence, not with platitudes or empty praise, but by having them practice and learn to believe in themselves. Too often, people are derailed by factors that have nothing to do with their intelligence or their ability. I am well aware of that, and as a tutor, I consider it my job to give my students the confidence to apply the knowledge they have gained. That confidence will serve them well not only now but in future endeavors as well.

The first thing you should know about me is that I sincerely believe all students can do great things and are capable of learning. I've worked with many students who were told they would never get an A, or never graduate, or never pass a test. With my help, they were able to achieve all of these things and more! The second thing you should know about me is that I am a hard worker. When I work with students, I am driven and dedicated to their success. We will work hard together to ensure achievement. The third thing you should know about me is that I love to have fun! Learning should not be scary, intimidating, or overwhelming. In my sessions, we will find exciting and interesting ways to practice content and complete tasks. I look forward to the opportunity to work closely with students who need extra support and guidance in reading, writing, essay editing, grammar, literature, phonics, and study skills.

I am a recent graduate from Muhlenberg College, which I graduated from with a Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Sociology and Minors in Philosophy and English. My background is in non-profit work and I have recently returned to the USA after working in Cape Town, South Africa, with a social innovations center that evaluated civil society and government programs for best-practice and social innovation through an annual awards program. I also have been working with the Harvard Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation to document award-winning South African projects.My passion for tutoring developed as I tutored throughout High School and College. I have tutored in a variety of subject such as various Math courses, English, Social Sciences, and Essay Writing. I believe everyone has the capability to understand subject material with the project guidance and help.

My name is Heather and I am a Princeton University graduate, currently based in Brooklyn, NY. I first began tutoring during college, where I worked with students on reading and writing skills and Spanish language. With Varsity Tutors, I am available to tutor these subjects, including college application essay writing, essay editing, and study skills and organization, as well as French and music theory.Outside of tutoring, I enjoy listening to music, singing, translating, and learning new languages (I am currently working on learning German, which will be my fourth language). I look forward to working with you!

With a BS in Chemical Engineering (U of Maryland), an MBA (U of Delaware), successful experience in business, and a continuing teaching and tutoring career at both the high school and college level, I bring a varied and deep background to support a student. Currently, I am a Professor at two colleges, teaching Marketing, Management, Leadership, Communications to young adults, and mentoring MBA thesis candidates. I tutor technical high school subjects like Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, as well as Writing and English.My tutoring philosophy is simple: work my way out of a job as quickly as possible. Give the student study skills, tools and confidence to get to their desired level of competence on their own. I don't give answers; we find them together. I try to add realism and practicality to the sometimes dry, theoretical learning experience. There is nothing more satisfying than to see a student's success and progress.I love music and sing in three groups that entertain at hospitals and nursing homes. I enjoy tennis and golf in sunny Arizona, and poker and watching sports with friends when the sun goes down. My bride of 46 years and I travel extensively for pleasure and to visit our two children and three grandchildren.

I recently graduated from college with a double-major in History and English Literature. I have significant tutoring experience and aspire to pursue an M.Ed in Secondary Education in the near future. I have a great passion for the humanities and consider education a remarkable gift and privilege which empowers its recipients to transform the world through their knowledge and ability to improve the lives of others. I myself am incredibly blessed to have been given the educational opportunities I've had, and am inspired to become the transformative educator for others that so many have been for me in my life. I would be more than happy to provide my services and look forward to working with you soon!
