I am currently a stay at home, homeschooling Mom! I love learning and teaching.

A graduate of Loyola University, where I completed my Bachelors of Science in Psychology with a minor in English as well as a Masters of Education in Special Education. I also completed endorsements in Educational Leadership at National Louis University and Director of Special Education at the University of St. Francis. I am an experienced Special Educator and Educational Coordinator with thirty-one years of experience with students of various academic abilities. I have a strong background in social sciences and am skilled in Microsoft Office, Google Suite, public speaking, leadership, Junior High and Secondary Education, communication with staff, districts, and families, IEP writing and implementation, and training and evaluation.

A desire for justice is at the heart of everything I do. I am my strongest and best self when helping others. As an enthusiastic, passionate, and dependable teacher, I am consistently working to share and engage with the material I love.

I am a student at Rio Salado College who is working towards an associates in Astrophysics. I have experience tutoring students at both high school and college levels, mostly through volunteering to help students who were experiencing difficulty in their classes. The subjects I tutor include Algebra I, Algebra II, and basic French. I tutored algebra in high school and I learned how to speak French from the people I interacted with during a ten month student exchange in Belgium. My favorite of these subjects is math and I enjoy tutoring it the most because it is one of the subjects that I find the most easy to explain to other students. I'm passionate about math because I believe it is a subject that anyone can understand, given time and the right information.My teaching style/philosophy is best described as a process of identifying the issues that an individual has with a subject by finding where exactly he/she may have been left behind. After I have found where the student is, I can work towards explaining the material to the point where the student needs to be. I do this by clarifying the simple side of the concepts the student needs to learn and then working on increasing the difficulty. Every student is unique and will require that I explain these concepts differently; if a student learns by working through examples, verbal explanations, or learns through pictures, I can do that. At this phase, I believe patience is a crucial in order to ensure that students understand the material they need to know and at the same time not be overwhelmed by it.Outside of tutoring and college, I enjoy a collection of hobbies. I love playing violin and guitar, gardening, hiking, programming, stargazing, reading, and traveling. Through the last year, I have been outside the U.S. while I was traveling I visited Belgium, France, Spain, England, and Holland. I also enjoy Japanese art, LARP (live action role-play), strategy games, and rock collecting.

Having been involved in the education field for five years now, I have come to truly appreciate the impact educators can have on our youth. Being witness to and a part of such great change on an individual basis continues to inspire me to inspire others. I have loved literature all my life for having the ability to transport a reader into a world where imagination is not limited to a television screen. I have loved non-fiction for having the ability to open up our world as it was, as it is and as it could. I have loved writing, in all its forms, in more recent years for having the ability to communicate thoughts, information and creativity. It is my goal to help all my students see what great powers reading and writing have and to allow them to apply their reading and writing skills to everyday, "real world" situations. I believe that my passion for my subject matter and my ability to make reading and writing accessible and applicable to life will help students of all ages and levels see the value in furthering their reading and writing skills.

I am a caring, enthusiastic tutor with five years experience of teaching lower elementary students of diverse backgrounds, learning styles and academic levels. I love creating unique activities for my students that align with their personalities and interests in order to motivate them. I believe in the power of data to drive student growth, focusing on benchmark assessments in order to set and track goals along the way, so that students are invested in what we are accomplishing together. I do my best to make learning fun, interactive and positive for children.

I have a background in applied management, but am working towards becoming a certified teacher. I have experience both as a tutor and also working with children in different settings. I understand how tough certain subjects can be for students since I've been 'that student' myself. For me, my most challenging subject was science. This experience has helped me to recognize the challenges children go through in their education. Furthermore, parents want to help and work so hard, but can easily become overextended while trying to help their children with homework or lessons. This is where I come in! I work directly with children and cater specific teaching methods and strategies to each individual. I think it's important to figure out what makes each student tick and use this to inspire them. It's easy to get frustrated, but together, we can overcome this and achieve your goals!

Hi! My name is Kristy, an instructor specializing in Mandarin, Math, and Science for Varsity Tutors. My teaching style revolves around simplifying big, complicated concept into engaging, fun, and digestible lessons; learning via experience rather than rote memorization.When not tutoring students, I'm pursuing my MPH at College of Global Public Health in NYU.Before moving to New York, I studied Biological Science at the University of California, Riverside.

I am a current college student passionate to learn and grow and help other students along the way. I believe every person has the potential to be greater, I aim to connect with students and be a bridge between the present and their future selves. I am currently majoring in Political Science and History with a minor in middle and high school education, with the goal to become a teacher. I am most passionate about topics of history, I believe understanding the past can make us achieve a brighter future. I have done tutoring for as long as I've been in high school, constantly helping and adapting to students' needs no matter the background.

I am a junior at Harvard University where I study History and Economics. I maintain a 3.9 GPA while playing on a varsity sports team. I understand the challenges that students today face because I too have experienced them. I have plenty of tips to help you stay organized and on top of your work. But most importantly I love to learn and to help others learn. I look forward to working and learning together.
