As a reading and writing tutor, I have experience working with students from middle school to graduate programs. Through our sessions, my students have earned As on difficult essays, raised their overall class grades, improved their SAT scores, gained admission to top universities, and built their confidence as writers, readers, and thinkers. As a tutor, I make sure to foster an encouraging, patient, and flexible learning environment in my sessions, adapting to each student's particular needs, personality, and sense of humor. Whether a learner is a top-scoring perfectionist with a fear of failure or a struggling student who believes they cannot succeed, we can work together to meet their goals and improve their relationship with learning! I completed my bachelor's degree in English at Kenyon College, where I graduated summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, and with high honors. During my third year, I studied abroad for two terms at the University of Oxford, where I experienced the benefits of their one-on-one tutorial system firsthand. I also earned perfect scores on the verbal sections of both the SAT and the GRE. I tutor a wide range of subjects. Among my areas of expertise are English literature, critical reading/verbal reasoning, college application essays, test prep, and creative writing. Outside of tutoring, my personal interests include reading, writing, drawing/painting, horseback riding, and playing with my two cats.

I am currently attending University of Wisconsin Madison, and expect to have a B.S. in neurobiology in 2024. I am most passionate about science, math, and literature. I believe education is always opportunity to grow in life, and seeking help to better understand educational concepts is a great way to boost confidence and strengthen the understanding of topics. I know different people have different learning methods, and I would tutor according to whichever method fits best for the student. There is nothing better than watching someone have an "ah ha!" moment! I look forward to working with new students.

Hi! I am Zoe Pyne, an undergraduate student at Barnard College from Brooklyn, New York. Having always had a love of school and learning, I initially began tutoring as a way to gain community service hours but then realized that it meant more to me. As both a general homework and specialized reading tutor (trained in administering DIBELS and differentiated reading instruction), I have a wide array of experience with different subjects. I can't wait to get involved with Varsity and continue making a difference!

Haley graduated from the University of North Georgia with two bachelor's degrees in English Writing & Publication and Interdisciplinary Studies (Mathematics/Technology, Social Science, and Humanities concentrations), and an associate's degree in Psychological Science (2020). Previously, she completed an associate's in Communication, Film & Digital Media Studies (2016). While at UNG, she worked as a Writing Center Peer Consultant, Supplemental Instruction Facilitator, English Department Student Administrative Assistant, Writing Fellow, and Ambassador for the Center for Undergraduate Research & Creative Activities (in addition to programming stimulus displays for EEG experiments in the neuroscience lab). Her major fields of study are supplemented by three minors: Linguistics, Psychology, and Studies of English Language Learning. Combined, this background enables a flexible tutoring approach that can be customized to meet the needs of both additional-language learners and individuals facing cognitive challenges. Haley Shea is currently pursuing graduate-level education in cognitive science, conducting neuroscientific laboratory research in psycholinguistics and brain-computer interface, and training for a career in human-computer interaction. During college, her top subjects were Advanced English Grammar and Linguistics. There, she was known for her passionate leadership of study sessions for sentence-diagramming, which inspired her laboratory research. An active community member, she was Vice President of the English Honor Society chapter and led the UNG Writers Guild for two years, helping students write and gather valuable feedback from one another, enabling them to better proofread and edit their work for future publications. Many of those writers saw their work in print through UNG's award-winning student literary magazine, for which Haley Shea served as an editor for several years. Other campus engagements included running the community book drive for over two years and founding an all-student improv troupe which went on to perform and compete in tournaments around the state and region. While acting helped her become comfortable on-stage, Haley Shea also greatly benefited from her time as a member of the speech and debate team, placing first in statewide debate and slam poetry competitions over the years. Her favorite topic of both debate and poetry is that of human innovation and interaction with emerging technology, especially in relation to ethical policies on artificial intelligence. Captivated by syntax in both spoken language and computer code, she is fascinated with recent developments in language-based software and hopes to contribute to the field of computational psycholinguistics while earning her PhD. After graduating, Haley Shea knew she wanted to keep supporting other students toward their goals. A scholarship student herself, she always loves any chance to help individuals express their strengths and unique personal histories in ways that will help further their goals. To this end, she continues to mentor applicants for nationally competitive scholarships and other student support opportunities, such as the McNair Scholars Program and Goldwater STEM Scholarship, two major awards which made an immense difference toward the funding of her bachelor's education when she was named an official recipient in 2019, in honor of her interdisciplinary research and commitment to fostering student success on campus. She finds joy in any opportunity to uplift other students--especially women in STEM, individuals facing disabilities, or anyone who seeks to improve their command of the English language. In sharing her passions with her students, she helps them break out of "analysis paralysis" into a fun, personalized routine that helps foster positive associations with the topic of study and strong metacognitive skills that lead to improved performance over time. Special Topic Announcement: Students of English writing, grammar, comprehension, et cetera may enjoy developing their meta-linguistic awareness through Sentence Diagramming. Ask during booking to learn more about how you can become a grammar wiz through one-on-one classes in Sentence Diagramming taught by Haley Shea.

I have a high school degree and graduated Magna Cum Laude, and I currently attend Boston University. I have experience tutoring all age groups, from elementary to middle to high schoolers. My specialty is standardized test prep, but I tutor academic subjects as well. I have taken 11 AP classes and exams over the course of high school as well as 3 SAT subject tests. I received a 36 on the ACT and 1550 on the SAT. I love working with kids; I volunteer at my church in childcare, teach swim lessons, and babysit. Additional interests I have include music and soccer; I play the clarinet, saxophone, and piano. I love learning and I am excited to help others learn!

I would consider myself an expert at strategically navigating the high school world. On Wednesdays, you'll find me in pink. I don't like buses.

Ancora Imparo. The recent years have illustrated just how important this attitude is. Of accepting that no person, even given our extended lifetimes, can ever master every discipline. That there is wisdom in seeking to improve, but folly in expecting domination of any field of knowledge. The very best and wisest of us have survived the past two years not only due to cunning or intelligence, but adaptability and flexibility. And although I have been involved with teaching since 2013 and tutoring since 2001, it was not until 2018 that I began to experiment with online teaching of one-on-one clients via Skype, experiments that helped me to be ready and adaptable when my entire industry needed to entertain the shift in February of 2020. Ancora Imparo. Still, I am learning. Life will teach you new things, if you first agree that new perspectives are possible. A mind functions best when it's open to new ideas.

My name is Ariel, and I tutor students for the LSAT, English, Reading Comprehension, and Standardized Testing. I have a full year of classroom teaching experience where I taught English to 1st through 6th grade students. I studied for the LSAT off and on for 2+ years, hitting every plateau imaginable until I started from scratch and constructed my own studying method that allowed me to bring my score from the 150s into the mid-170s. Learning and education is my passion, and it is my goal to make every lesson fun and engaging, while also valuable. I am particularly intuitive when it comes to identifying a student's strengths/weaknesses, innovating strategies to target gaps in learning, and implementing strategies tailored to the student's particular needs. I know from experience how important the teacher-student relationship is, so I work to infuse each session with passion, actionable strategies, and my hope is for my students to see how rewarding and exciting learning can be.

Prior to that, I've worked in both journalistic and teaching/mentoring settings, as well as attained my B.A. in Journalism in 2016.

As a passionate educator with a Master's in Software Engineering from McGill University, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment for my students. With over 2 years of experience in tutoring and classroom settings, I specialise in coding, computer science, software architecture, machine learning and programming languages such as Python, Java, and C++. I have experience in multiple machine learning and genAI projects, along with data science My teaching philosophy centres on creating engaging, hands-on experiences that allow students to connect theory with real-world applications. I believe that every student has unique potential, and I strive to tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring advancements in technology and public speaking, which further enrich my teaching methods. My goal is to empower students to achieve academic success and develop a lifelong love for learning.
