I graduated with summa cum laude from the Honors Program at Fordham University with a B.S. in Psychology with minors in Political Science, Spanish, and History. I have a wide variety of past tutoring experience starting when I was quite young. For the past four years I have worked as a peer tutor through the Higher Education Opportunity Program at Fordham as well as a tutor for elementary-high school students at a private tutoring center in the Bronx. While studying in Spain last year, I was able to work as an English instructor in a bilingual high school in Granada. I also worked through the Americorps program Jumpstart! to built literacy skills in younger children. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, Spanish, and History. I absolutely love helping students improve their writing abilities from the planning stages to editing their essays. Standardized testing, while not something most students look forward to, seems to be one of the areas in which we can see the most timely and remarkable improvements in skill. I feel very strongly about education and will likely enter a PhD program combining Psychology and Pubic Policy to work on education reform next year. I hope to impart some of my own excitement about learning to all the students I have the opportunity to work with. When I'm not at work at my job as the project director on a study on sleep and academic performance in adolescents, I love to read and spend time outdoors, hiking, and enjoying nature.

I believe in a logical but fun approach to tutoring. I try to design plans that reinforce subjects in multiple ways, to encourage memorization and ensure that students don't get bored. This approach befits both the teacher and the student.I have extensive experience tutoring students in mathematics, and I have tutored in science as well. I have also tutored unofficially on test-prep with students in my area.

I graduated from Harvard University with a degree in History and Literature. I spent a year teaching in Harlem, New York, two teaching in Peru and three teaching in Colombia. Currently, I am studying to get my PhD at the University of Chicago. I have extensive experience teaching and tutoring a variety of ages and subjects (in particular, I have the most experience tutoring for the PSAT, SAT and college admissions essays, as well as math, English literature and Spanish to middle school students). My favorite subject to tutor is Math because it was my favorite as a child and adolescent. I love interacting and getting to know those students with whom I work because I believe that having a good connection and feeling comfortable is a key first step in a successful tutoring relationship. I enjoy walking all over the city and reading (often at the same time), as well as running, sports of all kinds, and coffee over a good conversation.

I am a certified teacher, qualified to teach Social Studies, Math, and English in grades 7 through 12. With four years of substitute teaching and other classroom experience, as well as many years of tutoring in various subject areas, I am a seasoned and versatile tutor. Not only have I taught math and science classes at a non-public high school, I have also led SAT-prep classes and instructed students privately in reading, writing, math, and in preparation for a variety of standardized tests (ACT, SAT, PSAT, SSAT, GED). Besides my years of experience and deep content knowledge, my strength as a tutor stems from an intuitive understanding of how to connect with students and explain content in creative ways. I work very hard to bring that "Aha!" moment to students. I love teaching and being involved in the field of education -- I can't think of anything else I'd rather be doing with my life!

I have a Master's in Biology from VCU in which my focus was on population genetics. I have worked with a wide range of students over the course of many years. I began tutoring and teaching in college, where I also taught courses in Biology, and have since worked with students aged 5-12 with a program called Mad Science. I am currently a certified teacher, where I teach gifted children at the high school level. Over the past few years, I have tutored SOL prep in Biology, Math and Chemistry. In addition to my work with Varsity Tutors, I am also teaching Biology at a community college, and am tutoring in an after school program at an elementary school. Not only have I worked with a wide range of students, I also have experience with ESL students, gifted students, and students with disabilities. Teaching is my passion, and I truly enjoy it!

I am a certified high school math teacher who is looking for summer tutoring opportunities. I have experience teaching and tutoring math through the elementary- high school level, and I especially enjoy the opportunity to work one-on-one with students.

In the area of math, I apply my background having spent extra-curricular time in math clubs and taking classes outside of public school instruction, like number theory and history of math, to make math an interesting, rewarding and practical subject for my students. In the area of reading and writing, I am familiar with teaching and evaluation methods to identify and help reading and writing issues, including reading strategies, like reviewing and summarizing, and writing strategies, like story maps, free writing, genre writing, and voice writing.As a tutor for your child, I am committed to learning about your child's personality, interests, and learning styles, and work to make the content relevant and engaging so that your child will gain the confidence, on top of the practice to flourish in their target subjects.

After completing a two year service as a Peace Corps Volunteer in West Africa, I earned my teaching credentials in both English and Special Education and taught in Philadelphia for four years. I recently relocated to sunny San Diego with my Master's degree in Education in hand and tutoring experience under my belt. English and Math are my strong suits, and I'm excited to put my tutoring skills to use through Varsity Tutors.

I am a recent college graduate from Wake Forest University. I am currently working to complete my Teaching English as a Foreign Language certification through the University of Toronto.I am an excellent tutor because I am friendly, encouraging, and patient, and I have a passion for teaching high school students. I have first-hand knowledge of the rigor of AP courses, and I understand the stress that accompanies the PSAT and SAT exams. I am dedicated and hardworking, and I had academically successful high school and college careers. At Wake Forest University, I majored in anthropology. This background gives me an advantage as a tutor as it has helped me gain a perspective on the world that has given me the ability to perceive and and approach different places and peoples with a culturally relativistic and ethical stance. I understand that many factors can contribute to student success, including environment, teaching method, learning style, and outside encouragement.

I am a professional Performance Artist with a deep love for Math and Science. I attended a fine arts magnet school from 5th grade until my graduation from high school, where I learned to maintain a healthy balance and integration of my passions for the Arts and academia. I approach tutoring on a case-by-case basis, allowing the student to inform me of what he or she needs and what methods of teaching work best for them. I always hold my students and myself accountable, expecting a reasonable amount of progress over a period of time from us both. I always do my best to integrate fun and play as I teach, so that the work for the students stays as far away from daunting as we can manage.
