I am a Board Certified Cognitive Specialist with an Advanced Certification in Child & Youth Mental Health. My degrees include a BS in Healthcare Administration and Psychology, and an AS degree in Architectural Technology. I am also completely my Masters in Instructional design, specifically related to accessibility for online learning. As an avid learner and adventurer, I love sharing my knowledge with children, teens and adults alike. Teaching, to me, is about learning how my student learns, understanding their strengths and challenges, and adapting my skills for their best outcomes, in a way that is both fun and comprehensive. I have worked in several countries and three continents teaching English as a second language. I am fluent in French through study and immersion in France, and I love sharing the language and culture with my students, whether for school or because they want to travel. I am certified as an ESL (English as Second Language) teacher and Enseignant de franais langue trangre (FLE) to teach French as a foreign language. I have developed an evidence-based program that is engaging and interactive with which I have successfully taught several teens and adults conversational French, grammar and translation. I volunteer as an advocate for individuals with neurodiverse challenges and mental health needs, and in my spare time I enjoy art, cooking, photography, and walking.

Teaching is something that's always come naturally to me. Learning, however, wasn't. A few years ago, I was the kind of student who would need tutoring; now, here I am. From coding and math to writing and SAT-prep, I've gone through it all: now, I'm here to help students get through their own academic hurdles, whether it be study habits or terrifying AP's. I've been tutoring since 2017, working to get many students performing above grade level, and most recently worked at Fingertip Learning as a biology and engineering teacher whilst leading scratch and python workshops. Volunteering last year at Lockdown Learning allowed me to discover that I am most passionate at working with students for writing, SAT Math, and coding. I pride myself in my interpersonal, adaptational, empathetic, and organizational skills teaching students K-12 from various backgrounds. I'm a big believer that progress is correlated with time: there's no better time to start learning than now.

I am an adjunct instructor/professor of business, marketing, and management with 27 years of college and university teaching experience. Furthermore, I have taught in other countries such as Russia, and I go back and forth to France, which is my origin. Subsequently, I hold four Masters degrees which include an MBA in Management from Long Island University, Masters of Liberal Studies with a concentration in History and Political Science from StonyBrook University, an EdM in Education Administration from Columbia University, and an MLS in Library Science from St John's University. I completed my PhD in Management at Walden University. For the past 16 years, I have been a private tutor in the following subject areas; English, Writing, French, Basic Italian, History, Psychology, Social sciences, and Bible Studies. Furthermore, I am ESL certified from the Language School in Montpellier, France, where I obtained a certification in TOEFL and TOESL. I am experienced in APA format scholarly writing and can assist in all levels of written expression. It is difficult to say what my favorite subject is because I love tutoring and teaching them all, as I truly enjoy helping and mentoring students. If I had to say what my favorite subjects are, I would say the business area because of my teaching experience, the languages, and the writing areas. However, I truly enjoy all the subjects especially ethics and social sciences and hard sciences. Teaching and Tutoring Philosophy In my 27 years of teaching experience on the college and university level, and 10 years of tutoring experience, I have developed my own teaching and tutoring philosophy. From these experiences, I have learned that people have diverse learning styles. For example, some of my students are visual learners, and others are auditory learners as well as kinesthetic learners. Therefore, I have taken on a similar philosophy to Howard Gardner who believed there are many different kinds of intelligences and students have different ways they learn best. Hence, I employ many different learning modalities in my teaching including lecture, presentation, question and answer, group work, brainstorming, visual aids, and role-playing simulations. For tutoring, I use visual and auditory, based on the materials that the student provides. I try to use diverse learning methods that are tailored to each student. My philosophy is that all people can learn given the proper supports and tools. Learning curves vary in length but everyone can achieve and succeed with the proper supports. In addition, I believe that critical thinking and high order cognitive learning is crucial to success in higher education and careers. It is important for students to learn how to compare, contrast, apply, analyze, synthesize, evaluate, and implement. Critical thinking is excellent training in executive decision making and judgment which is crucial for students entering the work place or advancing their careers. I have a strong passion for teaching and it gives me great satisfaction when I see students grow in their knowledge and critical thinking as a result of what I can impart upon them. My interests outside academia include going out with friends, dancing, karaoke, general and space science, sports (hockey, American football, basketball, etc), technology, statistics, music, traveling, French culture, experiencing multicultural diversity, and classic cars. In closing, I think it is important for a tutor to be a knowledgeable teacher, a role model, a mentor, as well as patient and open-minded to all cultures and learning abilities, and styles. My goal is to fulfill that role which is who i admire li Manning who is my role model.

I'm a graduate of Fordham University where I earned degrees in both Mathematics and Music. I have years of experience tutoring students from middle to high school in all subjects, especially English, Math, and French. In my free time, I love playing and listening to music, spending time with friends, and watching Netflix :)

I am a recent graduate from Nova Southeastern University, where I majored in biology and double minored in psychology and business. I have been involved in many extracurricular activities pertaining to and outside of medicine as I would like to go to medical school one day. As a student in the academia, I can greatly relate to the difficulties and the challenges faced. Thus, I am here to help you realize your potential. A failure is only an event, but it is not what defines you. In the process of tutoring you in whatever it is that you want to conquer, I want to also help you mold your character and make you believe that the most complicated concepts can certainly come at ease! In my free time, I like to research, spend time with family and friends, and listen to music!

Hi everyone! My name is Gloria. I am a research assistant at Harvard Medical School. I majored in Biology and French double at Johns Hopkins University, having achieved my B.S. in 2022. I have been taking French for 6 years, and I am well versed in other subjects such as many levels of math, biology/life sciences, academic and creative writing. I am patient, compassionate, and I will work with you until you reach your goals. I am well versed in different teaching strategies that can be molded to fit to different learning styles; we can find the best that fits for you. I have experience teaching kids aged 3 to adults. Good luck in everything you pursue!

I graduated from Dartmouth College with a double major, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in both Biochemistry/Molecular Biology and Music. I continued my education at Columbia University and received Master of Arts in Biology. Starting in middle school and continuing through my graduate career, I have tutored students in a wide variety of subjects, but I was most effective at tutoring math and science because of my lifelong love and aptitude for these subjects. Since I am also working towards a career in molecular biology, I use math and science every day, and I can explain real-world applications and uses for these subjects that may not seem obvious. By demonstrating the use of math and science in everyday life, I am able to help interact with the student and increase their interest in a subject in which they may experience difficulty. I also believe that as a tutor, it is my responsibility to engage with the student to help them achieve and even surpass their goals. In my spare time, I am heavily involved with music in New York City, being part of multiple choirs and continuing to play piano. I also enjoy exercising and exploring the city whenever I have the chance.

I recently started teaching through Varsity Tutors, and before starting here I have had extensive teaching experience both in and out of the classroom. I have taught ESL here in the U.S. as well as in Morocco, Nicaragua, and Spain, both to classes and in individual lessons. I have also taught Spanish and Italian, and practiced conversational French with interested students. I am passionate about seeing my students progress and gain confidence over the course of our lessons together, and I really enjoy getting to know them and their interests, which helps guide my teaching approach. I hope to inspire in my students a love for languages, music, and excellence in English writing, as these are things that I am most passionate about.

I've been an educator for over 30 years, high school and college, and I teach Spanish, French, English, and Photography at Varsity Tutors. I am a Vanderbilt graduate and I earned my master's degree at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (Texas). I love working with words and I'm really good at explaining language structure. My love of languages naturally led me to travel the world, and I have been a practicing art and travel photographer for over 30 years. I can help you get started with your digital camera and have you taking professional-level pictures in no time!
