Abigail
6th Grade AP Language Composition Tutor • +80 Subjects
I work hard to get to know each individual student, their needs, and the ways in which they learn best. I work creatively to make individual learning plans. At the center of my work is empowerment and confidence boosting, helping all students realize that they are bright in their own ways.I received my B.A. from Skidmore College, with a double major in Political Science and Spanish, and a double minor in Intergroup Relations and Honors Forum. I have been teaching for over 8 years, and love helping students see themselves as bright, creative, and intelligent individuals that deserve specialized attention.In my free time I love riding horses, playing with my dog, dancing, and traveling. I love to experience different cultures and meet people from all different backgrounds.
Kshitij
ACT Prep Tutor • +48 Subjects
Hi, I'm Kshitij and I study at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. The best feeling in the world to me is helping other people reach their dreams by conquering barriers like testing that stand in their way. I believe that the process of learning precedes the end goals-- that means that I focus on teaching students how to learn and to autonomize problem solving skills and processes they can apply to all problems rather than just helping them get the answer they need on a specific problem. This is the approach that my teachers used with me, and I've found it to be successful in teaching others as well. In fact, a student I tutored is now a tutor herself at Varsity Tutors! I'm well versed in tutoring for standardized tests like the SAT/PSAT/ACT/AP, as well as things like essay writing and public speaking. If you have any questions about me or my background, feel free to ask!

As an experienced educator, I thoroughly enjoy sharing my expertise and passion with educators and students while providing authentic and meaningful learning experiences

Brian
College English Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am a graduate of Covenant College where I earned a B.A. in English & Music. Following graduation, I worked as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Republic of Georgia. Among other responsibilities while there, I tutored middle and high school students in English and writing as well as teachers in computer literacy and professional skills. After my service, I received an M.Mus. in Music Composition from Houghton College, where I tutored undergraduates in music theory and volunteered at a local high school where I tutored and mentored at-risk teens. I'm currently working on a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of the People, a global online education development initiative.I enjoy tutoring across the spectrum of subjects, though I get most excited about Literature, Writing, and developing an individual's capacity to learn. I seek to personalize each student's educational experience, as I believe that learning happens best when a student is engaged and takes ownership of her/his learning. My hobbies include writing music, writing words, travel, long walks, acquiring degrees, and helping people.
Matthew
Algebra Tutor • +8 Subjects
Having graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering, my favorite subjects to tutor are Algebra, Calculus and Physics. My general tutoring philosophy is based in first principles learning - I encourage the student to discover how and why something is the way it is through questions and suggestions. Since the appearance of COVID-19 and the stress it has caused on the average American classroom, I have had a desire to help students learn and grow through supplemental tutoring. Education, particularly in math and science, is incredibly important and I hope to inspire students to not only excel in the classroom, but also take what they're learning into the world at large. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing soccer, (more recently) cooking, and managing my investment portfolio.

A. in Education from McKendree University (Lebanon, Illinois) in 2014, and received a B. A. in English from Saint Louis University in 2000.He has taught at the high school level for 14 years. His teaching experience is broad, covering subjects from English to social studies and history to philosophy and theology. His primary areas of expertise are in composition and writing across the curriculum, reading in all content areas, and English and American Literature; however, Daniel finds that teaching well is a skill that transcends the academic disciplines.When he is not teaching, writing, or reading voraciously, Daniel enjoys playing the guitar and piano, and riding his bike along the many bike trails scattered across southern Illinois and Missouri.
Shannon
ACT Prep Tutor • +26 Subjects
I graduated from Elmhurst College (now Elmhurst University) in 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts in Education with a focus in Early Childhood (birth-3rd grade), letter of approval for special education and a minor in teaching English as a second language. Since then, I've spent the past two years working as a lead teacher in an early pre-k classroom, first as a lead in a ten 24-36 month olds at a private family-owned center and now as a co-lead in a classroom of ten 15-36 month olds at a local community center.I believe we should be lifelong learners and strive to foster that for myself by staying up to date with the latest trends in education. In my free time, I love to read (historical fiction, paranormal, and dystopians) and play boardgames or DnD with my friends.

Hello! My name is Jackson and am very happy to be your tutor! I have extensive experience in Minecraft as I was one of the main writers for the Minecraft wiki and wrote over 20 pages from scratch including key blocks such as bedrock, wood, and all of the tools.

I am looking forward to meeting you!
Maggy
Conversational French Tutor • +33 Subjects
I was born and raised in Iceland. I have a BA in French from University of Iceland and an MFA in Acting from Regent University. I have tutored for about a year in French and Languages. I find tutoring very rewarding and I am incredibly proud of all of my students. In my opinion, teaching is an art form that requires a committed focus from both the teacher and the student. Despite all the distractions of the world, my goal as a tutor is to be flexible with my students while offering them quality-learning sessions that have a clear point of concentration. My goal is to create a learning environment that has the freedom and clear channel of communication, which allows my students to explore the subject area and develop good learning habits. Further, communication is an essential element in quality teaching; therefore, I am committed to engaging with my students and connect with them to establish a fun and focused learning session.I have lived in Paris, Reykjavik, New York, Miami, and now Denver. I love to travel and discover and explore new places, cultures, people, and food. I also like sports, in particular, soccer. I am a huge Manchester United fan. Further, I am starting to appreciate American Football more and more, but I do not have a specific team that I root for maybe I will become a Broncos fan. Finally, reading has always been a big part of my life, and I always have to have a least one book on my nightstand. Right now, I prefer to read Scandinavian crime novels, such as Stieg Larssons Girl With the Dragoon Tattoo and Jussi Adler Olsons Department Q series.
