The title “teacher” is special to me, because great teaching inspires the imagination and frees kids to think with an open mind. This freedom of imagination let’s kids comprehend more completely who they are and who they aspire to be. It’s all about possibilities! My personal teaching style is filled with this positive urgency, humor and energy—“Let’s do it and do it now!” Be it a special education class, a remedial class or a college course, kids apply their knowledge and insights in projects. Ideas are applied to writing, mastery of mathematical processes or performance techniques.Feelings of confidence motivate kids and stretch into other parts of life—problems become challenges to tackle, rather than disappointments to avoid. Gaining mastery is supported by trust. Setting achievement goals is risky. Students need to trust their teacher and themselves. Building trust and relationships is another one of my chief strengths. I believe kids learn in a system of relationships and in a culture of learning. Building trust requires follow through—being present, prepared and in command, otherwise kids don’t take the risks. It also means adapting to individual learner’s needs. A great lesson or an appropriate challenge builds trust through understanding. I use an eclectic array of resources from graphic organizers, to drilling, to practiced editing, to sentence starters, to Cornell Notes.. All are a proven way to help structure learning tasks. Without judgment and a positive can-do frame of mind, we tackle what seems impossible!

I am an undergraduate student at Barnard College majoring in Urban Studies and minoring in Spanish. I am also a Population and Family Health graduate student at Columbia School of Public Health.While I tutor a range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Spanish, Guitar, and Voice. I strive to create an inclusive, equitable learning environment that accommodates all students' needs and academic goals.In high school, I taught elementary schoolers about community health and hygiene in Spanish. In addition, I facilitated workshops about cross-cultural communication and active listening, and mentored middle schoolers as an Outdoor School student leader.More recently, I have worked with Sprout Up! NYC teaching first graders about environmental science, facilitated a course for ninth graders about health disparities as a Peer Health Educator, utilized my Spanish fluency to mentor first generation African immigrant youth while studying abroad in Spain, and tutored elementary and middle-school youth in both ESL and English reading comprehension.I have over ten years of acoustic guitar and voice training experience and have taught beginning guitar lessons to youth aged 5 through 15. I strive to embrace creativity and share my passion for music with Varsity Tutor learners.

I performed exceptionally on my USMLE STEP 1 exam. I truly believe that I can help students struggling with understanding concepts heavily tested in this exam as well as teach proper techniques in approaching questions.While in medical school I spend my spare time completing master's degrees in molecular biology, theology, and psychology. Conncurrently I am also now working on a PHD while waiting for the next cycle for residency.Prior to medical school, I was a working EMT with vast field experience

I recently received my Master's Degree in Media and Communications from the London School of Economics. Prior to that, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Pennsylvania, where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. I have tutored a wide range of students both as part of my college curriculum and also a private tutor. While at Penn, I pursued my passion for child advocacy and education by participating in ABCS courses, serving as an active member of Big Brothers Big Sisters and working at the City of Philadelphia Department of Human Services to promote funding for after school programs. As a private tutor, I have worked with ages 5-15 in subject areas including Elementary Math, Reading, Writing, AP US History and Government, Literature and general study skills. My favorite subjects to tutor are Reading, Writing and History because I find that students can often find a great deal of personal meaning in these subjects which is very rewarding. My tutoring style is one that allows students to feel comfortable and respected. I am confident that any student can master whatever subject they set their mind to, and that this can be accomplished when tutors and students work together to determine how the student best learns. By being patient, observant and kind, I get to know my students both academically and as people. Outside of working, I love to have fun by taking dance classes, running, cooking, traveling or watching a funny movie.

I have a strong background in English. My years of travel experience have helped me develop excellent cultural sensitivity and awareness, and I work well with people from all backgrounds. I am especially familiar with critical analysis of film and theater, but have studied a variety of literary traditions.

As a writing instructor, I believe that my job is not to "tell students what to do," but rather to coach and develop, to ask questions and give feedback as needed. In my experience, students who are open to this feedback--and show an eagerness to grow--are the most rewarding to work with. I believe that written communication is one of the most valuable skills one can master, and that all students, regardless of their past experiences with writing instruction, can become effective communicators of their ideas. I relish the feeling of writing something meaningful and effective, and I hope to impart that same experience to the students I get to work with!

I am a graduate of The Univesity of Phoenix, with a Master's Degree in Information Systems. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, from Davenport University, where I majored in Finance.I have been a substitute teacher for several years, teaching across all grade levels, from Kindergarten to Adult Education. I have worked with all types of students from those with special needs to those that excelled academically. My goal is always to stress the importance of trying and to reward and recognize the student's efforts.My passion is small-group teaching, emphasizing Reading, Writing, and Math. I try to meet students where they are and work to build their confidence in reaching their goals.In my spare time, I like to read and watch documentaries. I also enjoy traveling with my family.

I am a current student at the University of Michigan. I am studying molecular biology in the school of literature, science, and the arts. I will graduate in 2025. I am most passionate about teaching SAT test material, because that was an area that I focused on and improved my own score to reach my goals. I am excited to teach both the english and the math sections. I teach using extensive practice problems and practice tests, because that is what helped me learn best and improve my relevant skills. In my spare time I like to workout, swim at the beach, and surf. I would love to work with you to achieve your goals!

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences from Rutgers University in New Jersey, and I'm currently a third-year dental student pursuing a DMD degree at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine.I have experience tutoring high school, college, and older students since 2012 in different subjects including Chemistry, Biology, Algebra, Geometry, French, Arabic and Admission tests such as SAT and DAT. During my undergraduate career, I was a teaching assistant in General Chemistry and I enjoyed tutoring this subject to a large group of students in a classroom setting or online. I also enjoy teaching foreign languages including French and Arabic. I grew up learning both languages and I had a minor in French Language and Literature from Rutgers University. In addition, I have tutored several students taking admission tests like SAT and DAT (Dental Admission Test) as well as AP exams.My teaching philosophy revolves around equipping students with the skills and tools they need to learn and solve problems on their own, and master tough subjects. My main goal is to help students develop a passion for learning and a curiosity to know. Tutoring makes me very energized and I believe that passion is contagious. Therefore, I look forward to getting to know my students and finding out about their interests in order to understand their motivation. Overall, I believe that the purpose of tutoring is not simply learningbut learning how to learn.In addition to tutoring, I like riding my unicycle, camping and canoeing, travelling ( my goal is to visit 50 countries by the age of 30!), building matchstick models of famous monuments, writing short stories or simply listening to pop music and having a good time with family and close friends.
