...you. Languages help you communicate with others in order to achieve your goal and help them get closer to theirs. Therefore, I am committed to making every second of our tutoring session to be valuable. You might be wondering what dreams of mine have already come true.

I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is...

...by expanding their capacity for learning and making the generalized process of education more personal. Learning is a skill that requires training, pacing, and a lot of practice. It stems from one's ability to process information by reading the assigned text, taking good notes, and carefully choosing exercises and problems to solidify one's understanding of concepts without taking up too much time. Though learning is a universal skill, it manifests differently from person to person....

I am a practicing attorney in Washington, DC with prior careers in technology consulting and intelligence analysis. I have bachelor and master degrees from Carnegie Mellon University, a law degree from Washington & Lee University, and am licensed by the bars of Virginia and Maryland. I was raised in Tucson, Arizona and have lived many years on the east and west...

...parts of the greatest story ever written: the ever-evolving narrative of the human experience. Throughout my undergraduate career in Political Science at Truman State University, I allowed my interest in the lived experience of peoples to guide both my choice of elective courses, and the way in which I approached a variety of topics and concepts. I have explored and excelled in courses from economics, to Russian language and history, to the study of governments...

...for Standardized Testing is immensely satisfying (especially in the Writing and Reading sections) as so much of a student's success is based on their mastery of testing techniques and strategies. I also firmly believe that Public Speaking, as well as organizational skills, are critical to a student's level of confidence and advancement in any subject. I understand that each individual student has a unique approach to learning, and I try to pinpoint the most effective...

...have not declared a major, but am most interested in studying environmental science, and Russian. Throughout high school I volunteered with various organizations to help teach students everything from French to Taekwondo. I am most interested in Russian and Math, but tutor a wider range of subjects. I genuinely love learning, and I try to help others understand why certain subjects appeal to me, with the hope that they find their own reasons to be...

...was in high school, myself, where I volunteered as a "Big Brother", helping incoming freshmen adapt themselves to the more rigorous environment of St. Paul's. While an undergraduate at Columbia University, I taught SAT prep courses. I will be going to law school in the fall, and until then I am continuing my passion for teaching with Varsity Tutors! My tutoring style has always been to fit the lesson to the student. Whether you're studying...

...Glendale, and an advanced Competition Math class for two age groups (6-8 and 9-12). It's a lot of fun! I've always found math pretty neat and like to get students interested in it too! I love to travel and have been fortunate enough to do a lot of it during my quarter-century on this planetRussia, all over Europe, the Middle East, Venezuela, Mexico, India, and pretty much every state in this country. You only live...

...to teach Russian as a second language. Over my more than 20 years in teaching, I have trained people of all stripes for all kinds of personal goals: to improve their grades at school, to pass university entrance exams, to help American-born kids return to their roots, or just to boost their self-confidence. My teaching approach is comprehensive, and includes all the components of language: phonetics (working on correct pronunciation), grammar, vocabulary, listening comprehension, reading,...

...them academic, creative, and personal writing. The ability to write in a clear and engaging style is crucial to any student's success, even if the last creative essay they write is their personal statement for a college application. So few schools teach this skill, and even fewer teachers have the time to give students the individual attention that they need. I enjoy working with students who are learning to express themselves through writing, whether they...

...literature based, as that is where my interests lie. I enjoy discussing books with my students and helping them realize the subtle nuances of the author's language. I also enjoy helping my students with their own writing, helping them find their unique style. For test prep, I enjoy the English, Reading and Writing portions and try to help my students do the same. I believe the more a student enjoys something the easier it will...

...there, I tutored students in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, and Spanish. In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insight into the learning strategies and study skills that students need to succeed. As a tutor, I like to focus on doing actual problems with students because it is the most effective way to immediately identify their strengths and weaknesses and to address them. In my...

I want to show my students the joy of learning, as cliche as that might sound. I guess this stems from my own love of learning, but tutoring lets me share this love in a one-on-one, individual scenario. Seeing as my desired career is to be a college professor, tutoring allows me to get an early edge on my teaching skills as well.

...knowledge is to pass it on to someone else. Tutoring is one of the greatest ways to learn about others, as well as oneself. In the last five months that I have been tutoring, I have developed so much, all thanks to the many students with whom I have worked. Each person encountered has provided me with a new perspective for viewing material and life itself. In the modern world, where education holds sway to...

...play different communicative situations with my students to let them use the things they learn and hone their skills in a fun way. At the moment, I speak three languages fluently, and I am learning Spanish and Portuguese. I am a very friendly, open-minded person, and I love working with people from around the world. I work with different ages: kids from 10 years old, high school students and adult learners. Depending on the level...

...am committed to professionalism as a tutor, and I guarantee visible progress in my pupils; but I'm a regular person, too. In between Chemistry labs or Literature classes, you might find me reading a book on Heritage Hill, or walking my dog with my fiance. I am a recent graduate of the University of Arizona, wherein I achieved Summa Cum Laude status with degrees in English and Russian (with a minor in Pre-Med), but I...

Hi! My name is Vlada, and I'm excited for the opportunity to help people better understand the subjects they need some help in. I enjoy tutoring algebra, and helping out with all sorts of writing, as well as helping people with ACT training!

...intimidating, until you break it down into a list of bullet points and ideas. Patience is a virtue and I exercise it dutifully. I'm comfortable tutoring all ages; a bit of empathy can span even decades, I believe. In my free time, I love surrounding myself with books and scraps of paper with inky pens, but when I do escape from between the pages I swim and play volleyball. I'm also fluent in Russian.... I like...
