...from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I tutored various subjects as a volunteer with the NBC Homework Hotline, and I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to teach French for 2 years while earning my Master's.

In my experience students particularly enjoy (and benefit from) learning and exploring new cultures while learning the language...

...of purpose. I've tutored in philosophy, literature, phonics, ESL, reading comprehension, and English essay writing. I've assisted underserved secondary students prepare for college at university summer programs. I've designed and facilitated sociopolitical, poetry, international culture, and self-expression workshops in beleaguered communities across Ireland, Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Croatia, and the United States. These took place in venues as far-flung as private institutions, elementary and secondary schools, community centers and libraries, to outdoor summer festivals. I use...

...high school years, with subjects ranging from math and physics to SAT Test Prep. My favorite subjects to tutor are physics and English, which might seem like an odd combination, but they are more similar than one might think. I love learning and inspiring others to love learning as well. My goal is not only to help, but to spark interests in multitudes of subjects. The best part of tutoring is seeing a student not...

...be able to understand the core concepts of the lesson at hand. This reasoning is why I especially enjoy teaching literature and reading, because once one has those foundational tools, they can apply it to almost any discipline or subject. Understanding critical thinking and problem solving are lessons that are applicable to everyday life. Outside of academics I enjoy volunteering and traveling. I look forward to helping you develop confidence in pursuing your educational goals

...delivering personalized, high-impact instruction across the humanities, test preparation, and college readiness. I've taught everything from early literacy and middle school ELA to AP-level history, civics, and economicsand I've guided students through the full academic journey, from mastering foundational skills to crafting standout college essays and preparing for the SAT, ACT, and AP exams.

I have traveled in southern France and Qubec City, I was a member of the French Honors Society in high school, and I took level 300 French classes this past year as a freshman in college. In regards to my prior tutoring experience, I co-founded a peer tutoring program at my...

...sister, so while I wasn't her "tutor," I helped with a lot of math and writing homework and studying. I provide lots of practice problems, and I like to let the students lead the sessions as much as possible. I view my role as refocusing or guiding, but not pushing and telling. I hope to help students find study and homework habits that fit them rather than imposing my favorite ways upon them, though I...

I am a first year Master's student in Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Chicago. I am passionate about teaching English as a Second Language (ESL), as well as working with elementary- and middle-school students in general. I am proficient in French and Turkish.

...and every month I try to read a book about a completely new subject. On my free time - oh wait I have no free time (LOL). That's right, I'm a bit of a workaholic so that means that my schedule is full at all times. I recognize that time is of the essence and therefore I make every effort to be as productive as possible. I'm also an inspirational quotes nerd! So here I...

...It's never too late to start good habits, and it's amazing how simple and rewarding it is to approach one's studies in the right way. For my part, I like to keep things light but productive; I find that students learn the best when they're having fun and when their studies highlight the aspects of the work that they're interested in. Myriad studies have correlated interest and academic performance, but just anecdotally it's important to...

...jack-of-all-trades for the thousands of visitors who come to our natural areas every summer. One day I could be giving a program on the geological formation of the Finger Lakes; another day, I could be hiking park trails to make sure everyone is safe and accounted for. Regardless of what I'm doing on any given day, one of the key components of my job is the ability to understand, paraphrase, and communicate complicated concepts to...

I look forward to see my students get from the point of being lost to the uh-huh moment. I specialize in math based subjects where I enjoy to see how simple math and in some cases - a little complex :) can solve world problems from economics to engineering , etc. I believe that once students realize the application of math in real life, they will strive to become excellent in the subject.

...of Arts in Sociology and Linguistics. I was granted the opportunity to teach English abroad in Granada, Spain with Pre-K to 12th grade students in the academy of Santo Tomas de Villanueva-Agustinos Granada.

It's important to acknowledge we all have different cognitive levels of comprehension and with a little support from your Varsity Tutors, we both can engage in bidirectional...

...years, teaching in many different countries. I have taught people of all ages and I love teaching language and literature. I believe that it is most important to make learning fun and engaging. I always make sure the lesson is student centered. Students have a choice and their opinions are important. I enjoy traveling and learning about new places. I love new experiences and enjoy being a student myself by learning Japanese and Spanish. I...

...the exact same way I learn, by getting to the root of an idea, problem, etc. If you memorize a formula or a grammatical rule, you can remember it for the test, but you'll forget it a week later. If you learn why that formula or that rule exists and why it works, you'll retain that information for far longer and can rediscover and recall it much more successfully down the line. Academics aside, I...
