Melissa
American Council on Exercise (ACE) Tutor • +9 Subjects
My background is in Athletic Training. I have a bachelors degree and a masters degree in AT. My love of sports and for the human body has led me down this path. I am a current college professor teaching a wide variety of courses in health, anatomy and physiology, and exercise science. I have recently gone on to continue my education and just completed my doctoral degree in kinesiology. I teach college students primarily but do have experience teaching middle school age students through an anatomy camp each summer. I also have 3 children in elementary school in which I am probably overly involved in their learning.As far as my teaching style goes, I love to present information in multiple ways. I often look for youtube videos on content that students don't understand, and use them instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. I also like to use images, both labeled and unlabeled. Often times it takes hearing something more than once for it to be remembered and my goal is to provide repetition but in a way that it not so repetitive. I also encourage my students to teach me. If you can act like the teacher than you know the content.When I'm not teaching, I enjoy traveling around and showing my kids different historic sites and National Parks. I think one can learn a lot when traveling and it is one way I like to teach my own children about our world, culture, country, and even math. I'm a former soccer player turned soccer mom now, but I love all sports. Because I teach anatomy, health, and exercise science, many of my students are athletes so I am able to use sports to teach concepts.We can learn from the world around us, we just need a little encouragement to get started.
Paul
Medicine Tutor • +5 Subjects
I have been a practicing RN since 1978 working as a staff nurse, ICU nurse, head nurse/nurse manager, critical care coordinator and an acting VP of nursing. I have been teaching in nursing at the college level since 1993 and retired from teaching and active nursing in December 2020. I also authored "Fast Facts Workbook for Cardiac Dysrhythmias and 12 Lead EKGs" and was the subject matter expert for several editions of "Mosby's Pocket Guide to Nursing Skills & Procedures" by Potter and Perry. Although retired, I believe that I can still be of service by helping younger nurses reach their potential.
Sylvia
Algebra Tutor • +65 Subjects
I am a graduate of Oberlin College (BA), Case Western Reserve University (PhD-STEM and MS-Engineering), University of Illinois at Chicago (MPH- Epidemiology) and Clayton College of Natural Health (ND). I was a pre-medical student and received my Bachelor of Arts in Communication Theory with a focus on neurological speech disorders associated with brain injuries. Upon graduation, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to integrate my studies in communication theories and the sciences as an environmental scientist and engineer working for the power industry focused on understanding than designing engineering systems to minimize the impacts of environmental pollution on public health. I eventually received a graduate scholarship from the Society of Women's Engineers to complete my Master of Systems & Controlling Engineering degree from Case Western Reserve University.I have always been committed to helping students and started tutoring in college and throughout my career as a professional engineer and scientist before transitioning into full time teaching at the university level.I also created engineering/science/mathematics programs between NASA, Oberlin College and Case Western Reserve University for students who could work with me and or get support in their academic endeavors with my assistance.I am also a published author of several books that have focused on an historical interdisciplinary examination of environmental health inequalities in the USA and globally. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Environmental Science, Public Health, Mathematics, Engineering and History.In my experience helping struggling students who are afraid of science, math and engineering has been very rewarding. I am a firm proponent of accessible STEM (science, technology, environment, and mathematics) education, believing it to be necessary for an improved quality of life. I try to impart this appreciation to all my students since their everyday lives are impacted by STEM concepts and developments. In my spare time, I enjoy walking the talk as an environmentalist. I love gardening, developing certified backyard bird and butterfly habitats, reading, playing board games, and taking daily walks in the local forest preserves.

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.
