Aside from content, I also pay close attention to grammar, punctuation,...

...nutrition, such as picking healthy ingredients and avoiding processed foods. Since then, I have been a part-time tutor, and I look forward to meeting lots of new students through Varsity Tutors! As a current college student, I have taken many of the classes I tutor very recently, and am still actively involved in learning, especially in science classes. When I am tutoring for a course, I like to teach the students the way I would...

I have long enjoyed enjoyed working with others to help them achieve personal goals. Some of the most fulfilling tutoring I have done recently have been tutoring immigrants for the US Citizenship Test, helping formerly incarcerated individuals attain their GEDs, and tutoring children in Honduras on conversational English to obtain high-paying jobs in the tourism industry. I'm thrilled to work with anybody on any subjects of interest, reach out with any questions!

As a writing tutor, I assisted students with all stages from the writing process, from brainstorming and drafting, to research strategies and proper citation techniques. By working for two very different universities, I have experience working with a variety of students in multiple subjects, ranging from English and History papers at Connecticut College to Nautical and Marine Science papers at the Coast Guard Academy.

Beginning in the fall of 2015 I will pursue a PhD in Chemical...

...other science-related courses. I have assisted a great deal of students in reaching their academic potential by relating what they have learned in the classroom to the natural world that surrounds them. This essentially builds curiosity and creativity, which also allows them to be more engaged when learning new material. With my experience in developing lesson plans and working with students both in large groups and individually, I am a firm believer that all students...

Since graduating from high school, I have lived in a variety of places, including Nashville, Northern California, London, and, most recently, New York.

...in a variety of subjects. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Spanish, Writing, and Multicultural Studies. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. I firmly believe every student can become more confident and independent with the help of a tutor who takes the time to get...

English is a difficult, confusing language to master. Between hard-to-look-at spelling rules and nonsensical grammar rules, mastering the language can be a real pain. As an aspiring English teacher currently studying at Wheaton College in Massachusetts, helping you through that pain is what I like to do, and something I'm excited to lend a hand for.

Hello, My name is Amanda and I've been a public school teacher for 7 years. I am licensed in Massachusetts to teach Elementary Education, ESL k-6, and Reading Specialist k-12. I've spent most of my 7 years as a Reading Specialist.

I am currently a second year Biology undergraduate student at Northeastern University with a diverse foundation in science. For me, the study of medicine piques my curiosity, specifically cardiology and neurology- both of which I hope to pursue in the near future.... I believe in the power of practice. I think the most effective way of teaching is a brief overview with a big emphasis on practicing problems.... I would get to know the student’s strengths...

...to provide each student with the concrete strategies that allow readers to make meaning of text, and to clearly express ideas through writing. I make my process as a reader and writer transparent, and I've seen my students try out those steps, and make progress. With progress comes enthusiasm, and eagerness to make those steps their own -- that is when they soar! While I've worked most extensively with middle school students, I have worked...

...prep. Math and English are my favorite subjects to tutor (of course) but I enjoy teaching and tutoring in all its forms! I also used to be a Coach for Let's Get Ready, meaning that as a volunteer, I conducted an SAT and college readiness course for a class of around 10 high school students. I also helped with editing their college essays and answering all of their college questions. Currently, I spend an average...

...willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my...

...the most enjoyable experiences that a person can have. Sometimes there are road blocks in the way of our understanding and our experiencing that joy, but as your teacher I will help you get past them.

My goal as your teacher is to give you the tools that you need so...

...received two promotions in this role. As a substitute, I've worked in both mainstream and special education classrooms (ie: REACH), and have experience with a myriad of subject matters (ie: Social Studies, Math, English). My favorite subject to tutor is definitely ELA! I have experience as a freelance middle school private tutor and a college application editor/tutor. I'd describe my tutoring style as very hands on. I come to sessions with lesson plans based on...

...branch into the social sciences such as History and Political Science (my B.A. is in the latter). I enjoy teaching in the classroom, but really appreciate the one-on-one dynamic of tutoring. The constant direct communication allows the student and tutor to focus on precisely what the student needs to learn or what skills they could most benefit from improving. Most of my tutoring has been with college and high school students, but I have worked...

...undergraduate student at Tufts University pursuing a double major in economics and history, with a minor in physics. My favorite subjects to tutor are history and english because I love to write, so I really enjoy the analytic facets of these classes.
