I have a passion for assisting others along their path/s to success. Having taught and counseled learners at all walks of life...I have discovered additional aspects of learning avenues that have propelled my interests.I look forward in assisting with the path to success for all learners.

IntroParticipating with students to meet a challenge is an adventure and an exciting prospect for me. I loved acquiring language skills and proficiency, and I love communicating enthusiasm for aspects of ELA to learners who will achieve lifelong benefits. Forming a clear sentence or paragraph to express a fresh idea is one more window or view of the world and a contribution to it. Similar discoveries occur with a reading assignment. If it’s fiction, the student experiences characters’ struggles and understands how the author portrays these in social contexts and environments, using style, tone, plot, and the large vision of the theme. In nonfiction, the reader explores the thesis and topic to assess their truth or flaws. Analysis of every part of the work clarifies its essence. In poetry there is delight in imagery, diction, form and structure. In all genres, knowing about the period, background, and passions of an author gives entrance into new worlds for a reader.MethodsMany talents define an effective tutor. My teaching approach stimulates curiosity and imagination as well as problem solving strategies and awareness of relevant resources. I’m attuned to students’ personalities, concerns, and learning modes and relate subjects they study to their own experiences. Understanding can deepen with personal identification or ability to visualize, based on prior knowledge and past accomplishment. Good tutoring depends on rapport and mutual engagement as well, to bring concepts to life and unity to the learning situation. In dynamic sessions, students sharpen skills and become comfortable with syntax and grammar elements while they learn paragraph and essay structure. They develop a thesis with their ideas about it, using an outline; then, in most cases, they organize research materials. They apply critical analysis to texts and to their drafts. Specific references and details support insights; the result is vivid writing that reveals scholarship.For mastery of reading skills, I promote the enjoyment of vocabulary and word usage, as well as appreciation of the many ways authors involve a reader. The student and I draw on comprehension strategies such as morpheme and context analysis (for vocabulary enhancement), identification and purpose of key passages, and prediction of text direction or potential surprises. Many questions and discussions arise. The nuance and richness in a reading experience is the focus for these sessions.BackgroundMy qualifications for tutoring include a study of literature at Barnard College, where I earned a B.A.; I had transferred there from Oberlin College, which gave me two thrilling years as well. Later, I entered programs at UC Irvine (for TESL work), then several at UCLA, Florida State University, and Southern CT State University (for fiction writing). With my husband, I resided in Mexico for eleven years and began to tutor English there, then continued in this country, in California and Connecticut. Agencies and school districts referred me for state exam preparation, reading acceleration at the elementaryand secondary levels, and homebound instruction in general curricula. I tutored a large number of students privately as well. In California I was also a Spanish-English interpreter and a mentor for at-risk teens and youth on probation.For seven years, I was a writing tutor at Gateway Community College and Southern CT State University in New Haven. I received superior evaluations from students and supervisors. During my twenty years as a tutor, it’s been especially rewarding to interact with people from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.In addition to assisting ELA students, I’ve taught ESL at different levels in many locations. I spent four years with nonnatives from various countries in a middle school pullout program. When they entered five mainstream classes, I stayed with the group, implementing teachers’ assignments and leading discussions, as well as guiding them in their research. They won academic honors and saw their writing featured in school magazines. It’s gratifying to make this second language accessible to learners striving for fluency and confidence.I have many interests outside of work. These include the arts, family life, children’s and teens’ advocacy, other cultures, and everything in nature.I look forward to working with Varsity and with its dedicated pool of students.

Hi, my name is Cammy and I am a rising senior at Northwestern University, studying Theatre, History, and Leadership. I understand how stressful school can be and am interested in arming you with both the knowledge and skills to find success!

I am a currently a high school mathematics teacher. I graduated from the University of Richmond majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing Analytics and a minor in Mathematics. I have worked with kids of all ages, ranging from elementary school to college students through various subjects. I have also worked extensively with special needs children, doing everything from teaching special education to one-on-one in-home mentoring. Through my experiences, I have continued to carry my passion for working with children and have developed my skills in making successful and individualized learning fun. Math, science and test prep are the subjects I'm particularly passionate about tutoring, as I've always loved those subjects myself. Additionally, I've worked extensively with adults on business skills, marketing and social media.

I am a graduate of Goucher College and I'm from the Washington DC metropolitan area. I received my Bachelor of Arts History with a focus in East Asia and Africana Studies. After graduating in 2016 I moved to China (Changsha) where I taught English to elementary, middle, and high school students for 2 years. I also taught English to elementary students in South Korea for another 2 years. I have traveled extensively and tutored children of all ages across Asia. I also have experience teaching US college students how to write essays and give presentations. I am a certified ESL instructor and would be glad to help you improve your English in Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. I am currently a teacher at an elementary school where I teach a variety of subjects however, I am most passionate about English and History. My expertise is in teaching ESL and English to elementary and middle school students however I can teach all ages. In my experience students tend to improve when given the opportunity to actively engage in subjects and materials they're passionate about thus I make sure to modify my curriculum towards the student's goals and interests. I have been successful at making learning fun by encouraging students to engage in innovative thinking. I will utilize my training, the resources provided to me and most important, my recent teaching experience to achieve the best learning environment for all students.

Good education, I believe is one of the most important gifts you can give to a child.I started my interest in imparting knowledge to others in Middle School. In a program called Peer to Peer, I learned to mentor lower grade students in subjects that were challenging them. For me English, both reading and writing, were always my subjects of choice. Later on, in High School, I started tutoring not by design but in an informal way. I was always available to help edit essays, proof read papers or formulate theses.I am a rising sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania majoring in International Relations and minoring in French and English. The studies of English and Literature have been my passion for a long time. I enjoy reading about cultures while familiarizing myself with the world’s diverse peoples. In my first year of University, I took three English courses and an intensive Writing Seminar which helped me develop my ability of analyzing, interpreting and explaining complex English texts while improving my written and oral communication skills.One of my greatest joys is helping a student who is first afraid or confused about a subject to understand it to the ability of being a master of that subject. During my freshman year, I was involved in tutoring children in West Philadelphia. The students assigned to us were often of lower academic ability and I loved the challenge the opportunity offered to me. To improve their motivation, I applied different teaching methods including games, quizzes and debates. Seeing my students improve their listening skills, their grammar and their research skills was very gratifying and that inspired me to help others to develop and to achieve their maximum potential. I am very creative and enjoy devising methods that make learning interesting.We are not born masters of our craft, we toil until we are masters of our craft. I am dedicated to encouraging young students to push themselves and embrace the growth process in order to develop and achieve. Through tailored tutoring to meet each student’s specific requirements, coupled with my ability to work well with others, I believe my students will excel.

I am a graduate of The University of Southern California where I received my Bachelor of Arts inPrint Journalism. I have worked with students from a variety of backgrounds and skill levels. I've tutored elementary school age children in their homes, helping them sharpen and retain the fundamental skills they have learned in class. I've tutored high school students struggling with math and English. Most notably, I've spent years working in class and on campus with community college students struggling with the college writing process. I can tutor a variety of subjects, but I am most drawn to English Composition and Literature. They are my passions, and, as a result, they are my favorite subjects to tutor. Being able to understand written word and being able to express yourself through written word are skills so essential to life that I really consider it a privilege to be able to help someone improve in those areas. My approach to tutoring is to help students see that concepts that might seem confusing or even at daunting at first, can really be broken down into smaller, easy-to-understand elements. And it's not a matter of being "smart" or not; it's a matter of being willing to dedicate the time and effort to truly understand something. Outside of work, one of my main interests is travelling. I've been to many different states and many different countries like Spain, Scotland, Nigeria and Belize, to name a few. I hope to continue adding more stamps to my passport. I also love seeing live music at local L.A. venues (my genre preferences vary from alternative or indie rock to hip-hop and neo-soul). I'm also a huge fan of detective novels of almost any sort, British television dramas and any movie based on a comic book.

While I have more than six years of experience tutoring in a multitude of subjects, I can offer an eager student more than a jump in grades or test scores. I pride myself in being able to bring about not just these immediate goals, but in bringing the student along in a comprehensive way; in writing, reasoning, and learning ability. What I provide is professional and academic mentoring, the kind that allows a student to be more than a test score.Many students, brilliant and motivated though they are, can make poor decisions about the college admissions process, about resume building, what they do in their extracurricular time, in interviews, etc. These problems cannot be avoided by just being intelligent. Even doing research in these areas can be daunting, as the internet, full of useful information as it is, provides both wise and foolish advice to young students. Navigating this resource requires experience and professional acumen, and it is not an inborn trait.I have worked with the entire spectrum of students; those looking to get into an IVY league school, and those just hoping to make it through high school. I can most easily and effectively tutor in the sciences, test preparation, and the writing process. I am the biggest asset to those students who have aspirations in the medical, scientific, or research fields, or who are hoping to be more competitive in the prep-school or college application process.

Hello! I am a junior at Lehigh University in the honors Integrated business and engineering program. I have a 3.6 GPA and am obtaining a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering as well as a B.S. in Finance. I spend my free time playing golf, ice hockey, biking, hiking, and kayaking! I have previously tutored students ranging from middle school to high school. I will work on subject material, test taking strategies, organizational skills, and much more! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!
