I am certified to teach French K-12 in the state of Missouri (and have the qualifications for Kansas). I enjoyed teaching at both the middle school and the high school level as part of my training. During my undergraduate studies, I tutored both writing and French. I am now substitute teaching at a French immersion school in the area,...

...connections between different subjects to help my students see how what we're working on isn't so strange after all! Before beginning to work with Varsity Tutors in August of 2014, I worked in a K-8 school as an intervention math teacher. There, I tutored elementary- and middle-school students in math in small groups. Working in that setting taught me more about how to explain abstract concepts simply and creatively, and about how to use quizzes...

...end of the term, 100% of my regularly attending students elected to sign up for more classes. I am a recently returned Peace Corps Volunteer; I spent over a year working in a small school in Namibia (Southern Africa) teaching English, Math, and Computer Skills in a resource-poor environment.

I have tutored peers in many subjects that they found difficult to grasp in class and I have experience tutoring middle and high school students, both in group and individual settings. Im from a small town in southern Illinois, where I was valedictorian of my high school class. Currently, I am a medical student at University of Missouri-Kansas City where I will be graduating...

...My undergraduate degree gave me a unique insight into the structure and function of language, especially English. During my time at Rockhurst University, I have worked as a Graduate Clinician at a small private school where I met with clients who struggled with spelling, writing, and reading comprehension. All three of these skills are interconnected, and progress in these areas requires use and understanding of complex syntax, morphology, phonetics, orthography and semantics. For this reason,...

...at Iowa State University working to obtain my Bachelor's of Science degree. As a lover of learning, I fully believe that every student should be able to feel comfortable in their schooling and take pride in their academic achievements. That is why I am dedicated to helping students gain a better comprehension of certain subjects and foster effective studying skills. I tutor for the ACT exam as well as middle school math and science, biology...

...physics. I've had great success on the SAT and ACT as well as my AP tests in high school, and I hope to help others succeed as well. My favorite subject to tutor is physics because I feel like learning to apply a few fundamental principles to different real world situations is extremely useful in any discipline. While tutoring I try to help students master the fundamentals so they can apply them to the material...

Detail-oriented, I love well done work. I am one of those who believe that we learn better in a relaxing environment-teaching with relevant jokes, stories engage more both teacher and learner. Open minded person-I lived in three continents. I love speaking French - I studied and lived in France for a couple of years. I look forward to working with my new students...

...exam. Tutoring is a challenging yet rewarding experience for me. Everyone learns a little bit differently from someone else, and to be able to help another student succeed in their academic life is a privilege for me. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running, reading, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. I lived in France and England for a few years in college, so I've worked with many people from a variety of backgrounds....

...semesters. I'm also a member of an NGO called Global Learning Exchange that works directly with impoverished and underprivileged schools in Guatemala. I traveled there in 2013 as the Training Specialist where I trained five Guatemalan teachers in their native language on how to perform our reading program. I have a Bachelor's in Spanish and a Master's in Romance Languages and Literature. I have a proficiency in French from three semesters taken during my graduate...

I am a people person who enjoys getting to know new people and forming new relationships. I love to tutor and to teach as it allows me to help a student in need develop new skills and strengths through aiding them along with their learning process. It is very satisfying to help a student grasp a...

...can more deeply understand things he or she previously understood only superficially. Another part of my educational philosophy is that every academic subject has a valid part to play in the world. Although some subjects more practically fit into the needs of our modern world (e.g. science, business, and math), others remind the world of the importance of the human spirit and the dignity of the human person (e.g. literature, philosophy, history). In fact, I...
