I've tutored for several years now, and what I most enjoy is when I can take a subject that many students consider boring or difficult, and actually make it interesting and enjoyable for them. My main area of focus is on history and English, though I can teach several other related subjects.

6th Grade AP Language Composition Tutor • +39 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Grand Canyon University with a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction. I have taught full time for three years. I have taught preschool, third, fourth and fifth grade students. The last two years I have been in a resource classroom teaching reading and writing. My favorite thing about teaching is seeing the student grow and learn. I always tell my students to say "I have not learned that yet," not "I cannot learn that." Learning is a mindset and when the mindset is right, the learning will come. I cannot wait to get the chance to help you learn all that you want to learn.

I believe in helping others grow in their education or professional climb. I understand the struggles to grasp seemingly complicated concepts and present solid solutions. As a tutor, I have worked with home school Jr/Sr level students, college students, and professional adults. Professionally, I have worked in the industry for over 20 years and have managed numerous projects that came with nightmare situations to resolve. In addition, I have led and been deeply involved in many Lean Six Sigma projects and Kaizens during this time. Lastly, I speak in multiple environments, from small groups to extensive sessions in front of executive leaders. I can help you gain confidence using well-known tools to improve your speaking and engagement performance.

Cheryl

Adult Health and Wellness Tutor • +12 Subjects

I received my BSN from Valparaiso University and started my first position in the Pediatric Intensive Care unit at Children's Memorial (now Lurie Children's) in Chicago. My MSN in Parent Child Health Nursing from Rush Univerisity started my career path as a Clinical Nurse Specialist and Staff Educator at Larabida Children's in Chicago. I love working with Special Needs Children and their parents, helping them to understand the needs of their children. I expanded my practice to pediatric home care with high tech kids on ventilators, feeding tubes and other equipment. I loved teaching other nurses, caregivers, and parents about kids and approaching them at their developmental level. My leadership skills have been used as an Assistant Director, Coordinator and Director of Home Health Services and Education.My adult nursing experience includes ER where I loved the role of triaging. I also have adult home health care, hospice care and public/community health experience especially working with immunization programs and senior health centers. At the core of my professional practice is always patient and family education.When I became an Assistant Clinical Professor at Valparaiso University, I loved my role of assisting students with their assessment skills and application of the nursing process. I enjoy working with older students who may have life experiences and other degrees that they bring to their nursing education. I try to share my passion for nursing with traditional students as they prepare to become part of the future workforce. I enjoy tutoring students, helping them to understand the didactic content and applying it to the clinical scenario. When students become confident and competent in their knowledge, I love seeing the change in their nursing practice! It's like seeing the "lightbulbs" turn on. I have mentored students in pediatric nursing including the school nurse role, OB nursing, Critical care nursing in ICU and ER, and public health nursing including prisons, home health and hospice, wound care centers, and Native American communities. Travel abroad nursing opportunity included the different types of health care in Thailand and England. I obtained my DNP while teaching full time at VU. I have accepted early retirement and have Emeritus status at Valparaiso University. Now I would love to help you become the nurse you want to be by strengthening your weak areas and increasing your understanding of the extensive content you face this semester. I also help students see the value of implementing self-care and stress reduction techniques. My schedule is flexible and can vary from posted hours. Just tell me when you are available.I continue to serve my community by volunteering with the local Visiting Nurse Association as a Meals on Wheels driver, and the Phoenix Center, a place for children and families to learn to cope with grief. I serve as a Stephen Minister as a caregiver in my Lutheran church.

Dara

6th Grade AP Language Composition Tutor • +107 Subjects

Hello! I am qualified to tutor nursing students hoping to pass the NCLEX and TEAS tests. While I excel in health science, I have broader interests in which I can tutor. These include history, writing, and literature to name a few subjects.My nursing history includes obtaining my associate degree in nursing from Tarrant County College in 2011, my BSN, and then my master's degree in nursing education in 2022. My GPA was a 3.95, and 3.9, respectively. Then, upon graduating, I passed the NCLEX at 76 questions while I worked as a PCT on a cardiac step-down unit during nursing school. Then, I worked as a Surgical Circulator. I had decided I wanted more a more hands-on position and I began working at an outpatient chemotherapy infusion clinic. More recently, I was offered a position working from home with many different contracted companies doing Telehealth. I love my nursing career and I want you to as well!

I'm a licensed Mortgage Loan Officer with over 10 years of experience in the mortgage industry. I have a MBA and a Bachelor's degree in Finance. I've previously tutored middle school children in-person in Math, Science and English during the summers. I am also a certified ESL instructor and I currently tutor adults and children in different countries (mainly in Asia) looking to improve their English. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Personal Finance. In my experience tutoring students, we always seem to have the most fun, but the classes are life-changing at the same time. I am a firm proponent of education; believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy working out at the gym, practicing yoga and traveling with my family and friends. I also love to dance. I hope to see you in class soon!

I have been a college educator and health educator for over 25 years. I have worked with K through middle school students throughout the past 5 years. I enjoyed working as a site director and program lead with the YMCA public school K-8th grade programs in Portland, Oregon. I organized art and science activities as well as coordinate indoor and outdoor recreation (games & sports). Since 2016 I have been a tutor for 1st thru middle school students in math, English, reading, writing, social studies and science throughout the greater Portland area, tutoring at their homes . In 2019 I served as an instructional assistant for Portland Public Schools in a Special Education resource room, working with students one on one and in small groups. Being there for kids to encourage and see their growth as students is a real joy to me. I seek to continue this tutoring work both online and in person.

Michael

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +10 Subjects

My goal is not just to teach but to inspire my students to love learning. I become joyful when I can teach another person something and see that they really understand it well. I have taught courses in "Dog Training", "Gardening", "American Sign Language", "English", "T1 Transmission Circuitry", "Public Speaking" and much more. I think that learning should be fun and I try to teach in a way that "makes sense" so that my students will remember it easily. I love teaching!I have a Bachelor's degree in Principles and Methods of Language Education, a TESOL/TEFL and an EIPA Certification. Also, I "speak" American Sign Language, Belizean Kriol, Mexican Sign Language, and I am learning Spanish now. That means that I know how to learn and I know how to help others learn as well. I most enjoy teaching someone who has a goal and is motivated to learn. We will enjoy working together. Michael

I am a longtime educator who has taught in both public and private school settings in California and Vermont. As a middle grades public school teacher and administrator for 16 years in California, I specialized in English/Language Arts and Social Studies/History but also taught at various times, mathematics, drama, and physical education.

As part of a long career in education, I have always taken the time to work with students in need of additional help and support, believing that we all learn in different ways. My main area of expertise has always been reading comprehension, written expression, grammar, spelling, vocabulary development, study skills, research, and homework help. I have worked extensively in that role with English Language Learners, students with IEP's and 504's, and many others seeking to improve their comprehension and communication skills. I have found this type of individual work the most rewarding of my career.

I am a Mechanical Engineer. At the moment though, I have decided to change directions and pursue a career in medicine. As I go to school part time and prepare for my MCAT, I am tutoring physics, mathematics, biology, and chemistry, here at Varsity Tutors with my spare time.I graduated from New York Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and then obtained my Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Stony Brook University.I'm able to tutor physics, math, chemistry, and biology from grades 7-12 and the collegiate level. For those looking to get straight A's throughout the semester or ace the regents, let's start the year off on the right foot.My teaching methods are excellent, and unlike most tutors, I bring fun and excitement to the subject, because we all know how boring the physical and biological sciences can be at times. Using various analogies and examples, I find that I capture my students attention and bring the best out of them.Most importantly, I look forward to helping my students, allowing them to excel and achieve their goals. After being tutored by me, you will be believe me when I say, "The Sky Is The Limit."

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in preparing for a wide range of professional certifications, including IT certifications (CompTIA, Cisco, Microsoft), project management (PMP, CAPM), finance and accounting (CPA, CFA), healthcare credentials (NCLEX, pharmacy technician), and many others. Tutors can work with you on exam-specific content, test-taking strategies, and practice problems tailored to your certification's format and requirements.

One-on-one instruction allows tutors to identify exactly where you're struggling and adapt their teaching to fill those gaps, rather than having you spend time on concepts you already understand. Personalized tutoring also provides accountability, structured study plans, and the ability to ask questions immediately when you're confused. Research on learning shows that individualized instruction significantly accelerates progress compared to self-study alone.

Preparation timelines vary widely depending on your starting knowledge, the specific certification, and how frequently you meet with your tutor. Some certifications require 2-3 months of focused study, while others may take 6+ months. Your tutor can assess your baseline knowledge and create a realistic timeline with specific milestones, helping you stay on track to meet your certification deadline.

Yes. Tutors work with students at all knowledge levels, from those brand-new to a field to those with substantial experience. If you're making a career transition, your tutor can start with foundational concepts and progressively build your knowledge toward certification-level competency. This scaffolded approach helps you develop both the conceptual understanding and practical skills needed to succeed on your exam and in your new role.

Effective strategies include breaking complex topics into smaller, manageable pieces; using practice exams repeatedly to identify weak areas; and spacing out your study sessions over time rather than cramming. A tutor helps by explaining difficult technical concepts in ways that stick, creating focused practice plans, and providing feedback on your progress. This combination of targeted instruction and strategic practice leads to stronger retention and better exam performance.

Your tutor can help you assess readiness through practice exams, diagnostic reviews, and honest conversations about your confidence level. Most certification exams have published study guides and pass rates you can reference. A good benchmark is consistently scoring at or above the passing threshold on full-length practice tests under exam conditions. Your tutor can also help you decide if you need more preparation time or if you're ready to schedule your exam.

Varsity Tutors works with tutors across many industries and certification types. If you're preparing for a specialized certification, reach out with details about the exam and field—tutors often have expertise in niche areas, and we may be able to connect you with someone who's a great fit. Even if a direct specialist isn't available, tutors skilled in related subjects can often help you master the material and exam strategies.
