Lordess

Algebra Tutor • +13 Subjects

I'm currently studying to obtain a degree for Cognitive and Neuroscience at the University of Arizona. I have tutored within my school district for four years with students of all ages. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate and skilled with math - specifically algebra - and writing. I have chosen to tutor because I have a deep understanding of being a struggling student. I have developed crucial tools and techniques that have changed my learning for the better and hope to share those with students to aid in the expansion and growth of their learning journey.

Genie

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +42 Subjects

I enjoy helping students connect with the joy of learning. Every student learns differently. The goal is to make a connection between what the student already cares about and to see how it can support their deeper interests and dreams. Once students begin to see that knowledge gives them power, it is easy to keep them motivated. I am a screenwriter, award winning filmmaker and published author of a book called "Love Hawaii Time."I am experienced in TV and film writing, improvisational comedy and sketch writing. I coach students in public speaking, broadcast performance, acting and how to develop more personal charisma.I have a BS in Humanities from Thomas Edison, a Masters in Communication from Greenwich University, a Masters in Creative Writing and Screenwriting from National University and a PhD in Pastoral Counseling Psychology from the University of Sedona.I enjoy working with animals, volunteering at the shelter, and I train dogs to become therapy and companion animals. I really enjoy helping students to experience the delights of using their imaginations in creative writing. Last year I was awarded the President's Volunteer Service award for my work with military families.

Scott

Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects

I sincerely believe that teaching is one of my life-callings, and I am here because I thoroughly enjoy working with students and watching them succeed in their academic studies. As a Mathematics major at the University of Arizona (currently a junior), I have extensive experience teaching and tutoring: I have been a teacher's assistant for a Calculus II section at my university and have spent a great deal of time assisting students with non-math related subjects as well such as English and essay-writing, time management and study skills techniques, and standardized test prep (SAT).I take pride in being well-rounded. Even though I am a Math major, writing and reading are some of my greatest strong-suits. For this reason, I enjoy teaching the SAT. Having mastery in all subjects is the key to having a good, well-balanced SAT score for applying to colleges.Every student, no matter what his or her struggles are, can be successful with school. It may take some extra patience, a modification in my teaching technique, an adjustment in the student's study habits, or simply finding and unraveling what the student's motivation is. But the potential for academic success is there for everyone! I succeed only if the student succeeds, so I will do everything in my power to bring out the potential in every student.My career goal is to be a pilot in the US Air Force when I graduate. I enjoy flying and am currently working on my PPL (Private Pilot's License) whenever I have the time. In my spare time, I also enjoy staying active with playing sports (I love ultimate frisbee and racquetball) and hiking the beautiful trails that Tucson has to offer.

Samuel

10th Grade Math Tutor • +37 Subjects

I graduated from Northern Arizona University with Bachelors of Science in Biology and Chemistry with departmental and liberal studies Honors. I am now pursuing graduate school with an emphasis on Behavior and Evolutionary Biology, and as such my favorite subjects to tutor are science related. I feel that success in a subject is directly related to an individuals interest in that subject, so my first goal is to always help a student discover what they think is interesting about the subject. Once an interest is formed, appreciation and understanding easily develop. My approach to tutoring subjects that center around problem solving, such as Chemistry and Physics, is to go over a variety of example problems and learn all the different methods to solving such problems. For subjects with more abstract concepts, such as Biology, Biochemistry, and other Life Science topics, my emphasis shifts towards understanding the broader picture. Outside of academia I spend a lot of time rock climbing, backpacking and doing whatever it takes to just be outdoors.

Patrick

AP European History Tutor • +13 Subjects

I am a graduate of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where I received my B.A. in History, and the University of Arizona, where I received my M.A. in European History. As part of my training I spent years studying both Latin and German; the latter was my main research language and as part of my undergraduate program I spent three months in Germany learning the language. As a teaching assistant during my graduate program, I led discussion sections for both a World History and a Western Civilization course. I was responsible for creating lesson plans and grading student performance. Having taught students with so many interests (I only ever taught one History major) and of such different backgrounds, I find the challenge of making History interesting and relevant to students a rewarding one. This includes not only making the material of History interesting, but in showing that History is more than simply the memorization of dates and names; I firmly believe that the study of History provides skills critical to a student's academic and personal growth. I enjoy reading, playing guitar and bass, and team sports, especially baseball.

Elementary School Tutor • +32 Subjects

I am currently a 4th grade teacher in Tucson. I have taught in 1st and 3rd also. Working one on one with students is something I wish I could do more often and joining the Varsity Tutors team seemed like the perfect opportunity. As a teacher I have experience is creating assessment questions and take great care in making sure my students don't just learn how to do it but also why they need to learn it. This way, they take pride of their own education. I look forward to working with you.

Brian

ACT Math Tutor • +59 Subjects

I believe that everyone can learn and it should be a rewarding and enjoyable pursuit. Learning is a matter of translating interests into motivation, and through this understanding. I grew up as an Army brat, which afforded me the opportunity to live in many places growing up, including Germany, Texas, Colorado, New York, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. I attended Carleton College, in Northfield, MN, where I graduated with a dual BA in Economics and Political Science. Carleton offered a strong program in liberal arts and I was exposed to subjects in all major academic fields. I further increased my knowledge by taking science courses at the University of Wisconsin in Oshkosh. I also studied economics at Cambridge University. Before moving to Arizona, I worked as a consult with Global Collect in San Francisco, where I gained experience in global economics and international payments, and have worked in multiple financial tech startups.I recently received my MA from the University of Arizona in Government and Public Policy. During my studies at Arizona, I presented lectures at several international conferences in political science and international relations. While attending graduate school at the University of Arizona, I worked as a teacher's assistant and was responsible for providing individual feedback to over 100 students. I found it rewarding to work with my students so they could achieve their maximum potential. Presently, I am working on some coding projects, primarily in the Ruby-on-Rails environment, a language that I am currently brushing up on.I believe in a collaborative approach to learning, working with students to inspire in them a genuine thirst for knowledge. While I particularly enjoy tutoring in government and public policy, I also enjoy subjects as diverse as chemistry, biology, mathematics, economics, literature, and geology.In my off time, I enjoy downhill skiing, cooking, hiking, reading, and games. I especially enjoy games that stimulate your knowledge and test your strategic skills, such as Settlers of Cataan and strategy games in general both in the videogame and board game variety. And, of course, having lived in Wisconsin near Green Bay, about thirty minutes from Lambeau, I am, of course, a Packers fan.

Katherine

Algebra Tutor • +19 Subjects

I am a recent graduate with a Bachelors in Mathematics from the University of Arizona. I have always enjoyed the simplicity and structure of math. Solving a math problem is as satisfying as piecing together a puzzle. There are a million and one ways to solve it, but there is only one right answer. Solving a problem not only requires logic and patience, but creativity and curiosity. Students know all-too-well how easily their creativity and curiosity are crushed when dealing with a difficult math problem. When I see students getting frustrated with the rigidity of math, I try to help them relish in its systematic ways by using the tools that they already have. I have always pictured math as a toolbox. Each year in math, as students learn more concepts, they collect more tools to add to their own math toolbox. The more tools they collect, the easier it is for them to get the job done. Students can only use the tools, however, when they understand how they work. This is why building a solid foundation is so important. How can you solve integrals without geometry? How can you factor without understanding basic algebra? I push for complete comprehension of a topic, not just the knowledge required to complete an assignment. I want to help students build their own toolbox of math concepts with the confidence that they will be able to utilize it and add to it in future math courses.When I'm not working, I enjoy cooking, reading, knitting, skiing, gardening, and playing the piano.
