I have spent three years teaching students from varying ages math, science and English. My favorite subjects are English and science. I am currently majoring in Biology in Bates College, and plan to help and tutor more students.

Ever since I started my academic career, I have always had a passion for helping others succeed. As I have grown in my own fields, I have also gained a plethora of helpful ideas, tips, and strategies that have helped my clients succeed on their own. I specialize in the STEM fields, but I am also gifted in some of the fine arts. I am currently working toward obtaining my BS/MS in Nuclear and Radiological Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. As a tutor, I will give my all to help each and every student not only do well in their current class or on the standardized exam they preparing for, but to give them the skills necessary to perform at high levels at every facet of their own academic careers.

I am a senior at George Fox University majoring in English and Spanish. I tutor SAT prep, Language Arts, and Spanish.For three semesters I have worked as a consultant in my university's writing center. I love helping students in all aspects of the writing process, from brainstorming to the final editing stages. My goal is to teach students to become confident, self-sufficient writers.I am available to tutor Spanish courses as well including high school Spanish I, II, III, and IV, as well as college level beginner and intermediate Spanish courses. We will work together not only to perfect grammatical concepts and implement new vocabulary but also to practice circumlocution and improve conversational fluency.

I have been, in some fashion, a music educator since I was 14. I started teaching music at the Songcatchers Inc. Program in New Rochelle as a volunteer in 2000 and have been passionate about it ever since, ultimately turning it into my career when I finished Undergrad at Eastman/ U of R in 2008. During my last semester there, as well as any break that saw me returning home to New Rochelle, NY, I continued to teach music in any capacity that I could - private lessons and schools, charter schools, teaching agencies, camps, etc. Since 2008, I have hosted more than 8 studio recitals for my students and run myself as a business, seeking to musically educate as many people as I can.I strongly believe music and frankly all mediums of art are woven into the fabric of who we are as human beings, and a valuable resource for us in achieving a truly enlightened society. Despite this, music and art are all too frequently the first curricula cast aside by public schools and even in general. This has always struck me as incredibly short sighted given that music especially, gives students of all ages a chance to hone multiple intelligences/skills at once (motor coordination, language, visual perception, auditory perception, etc.). So I guess in a sense I am trying to balance the scales with my chosen career. Additionally, in recent years I've become passionate about discussing and planning long term musical goals with high school age students. For example, I've had students apply to and achieve admission to schools like SUNY Purchase and Berklee, under my guidance and accompaniment.In short, I relish any opportunity to bring personal development and joy to anyone, especially open minds. Now, more than ever, it is so vital. So too, will I relish the opportunity to work for you, if it is given.

My biography would be incomplete if I didn't begin with my life before teaching. I am a 60 year old widow who did not begin my teaching career until I was 41 years old. Before that, I was married and in Atlanta as a professional stage actor with big plans for an even larger career. I was perfectly content living with my husband and acting, when he got a job with Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther King Jr.'s widow.This was life-changing for both of us. My husband was a valued employee at the Martin Luther King Center for Nonviolent Social Change for the five years before his death. The experience of getting to know Mrs. King and her family, particularly Yolanda King, as well as many of the great Civil Rights leaders of the 1950s and 60s greatly influenced my worldview. I read many of King's books and sermons, finding myself inspired by his words; inspired to see how we can and should use our lives to improve the world.After my husband's death in an accident, I was disoriented and confused about what I wanted to do with my life for a long time. Theater and acting didn't consume me like they did before. The idea of finding more meaning and making the world a better place kept pushing me to think differently. After a few years of working with Georgia and Mississippi's artist-in-residence programs as a drama instructor, director and writer, I realized that I wanted to teach full-time.This meant I had to go back to college and take all of the math and science courses I avoided the first time around. I spent a year at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque working on finishing my bachelor's degree. Then, when my father became ill with terminal cancer, I returned to Georgia and enrolled in The University of Georgia in Athens.It wasn't particularly easy being a 33 year old student in college with 18 and 19 year olds. It was often lonely, but I can honestly say that I felt my late husband with me, guiding me through this new territory. I learned so much from him, I'll always be grateful.When my father died from cancer, I went back to acting for a short time and also worked for a while as a Pre-K teacher. Then I returned to UGA and finished my degree at the age of 40. I then started my teaching career in Fayette County, Georgia at Sandy Creek High School. I taught Drama and Speech and Communications the first two years. Then I became certified to teach English because they cut my teaching position in Drama. I taught English for two years, but I soon had to leave because my mother had a stroke.I had to move in with her and help her recuperate. While I was home, I taught a year at South Hall Middle School in Gainesville, GA. I didn't return after that year because I wanted to return to high school teaching.This year would have been my 14th year at Hart County High School, in N. E. Georgia, if it hadn't been for the Coronavirus. My 90 year old mother lives with me. Her health is frail; there is no way I could continue to teach in a school where students weren't required to wear masks and then come home to her. It was just too dangerous, so I left.I am thrilled that I will be able to continue to teach here with Varsity Tutors. It means the world to me to continue to try to better my little corner of the world.

I loved spending time with kids from my childhood. I used to teach my siblings all the time. This is the reason, I chose Early Childhood Education as my career opportunity. Next, I graduated in my Elementary Education in Dec 2016. During my education, I also gained experience in substituting in schools and tutoring.I believe that every child has a potential to learn and be successful. I work hard to ensure my students are learning and being successful.I utilize several engaging and hands-on techniques to support student learning.

I am a certified teacher with twelve (12) years of teaching experience Elementary Education. I am a dedicated, goal oriented individual with an eye for attention to details. I possess a Bachelors Degree in Education and a Masters of Education in Educational Leadership. Through extensive collaboration and partnership working with diverse student population, staff, school community partners and parents, I have gained immeasurable knowledge in planning, organizing, and implementing successful strategies, and best practices to lead in my profession.I am fully knowledgeable of the Common Core Curriculum used in Elementary schools along with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study.

I am a Junior in Chemical Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University. I am a founding member of VCU's chapter of the engineering sorority, Phi Sigma Rho. In my free time I enjoy playing the piano, cuddling with my puppy while watching Riverdale, and playing Sims 4.I love learning and helping others learn as well. I believe that no subject is "too hard" or "too difficult" for STEM and non-STEM inclined students to learn and become proficient at.Beyond my skills in STEM subjects, I also have a lot experience with the college application process, along college level writing, essays, and research papers.

I have graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas with a Mechanical Engineering background. As an engineering student, the math never goes away! I have experience as a student mentor in Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 at UTD and helped many people with their homework problems, so I am not new when people want help on their assignments. I am fearless especially when it comes to pre-algebra, algebra, college algebra, trig, pre-calculus, calculus problems. I have tutored many high school and middle school students in math related subjects back when I was a member of National Honors Society. In addition, back when I was in elementary school, I have participated in numerous number sense and problem solving competitions. I am a very patient teacher and look forward to make mathematical problem solving understandable to the best of my ability.I also play the violin for a hobby, and had at least a decade of experience playing. I have achieved concertmaster positions for many concerts and gave lessons to middle school students. I was accepted in the TMEA All Region Philharmonic Orchestra back in 2007 through blind life auditioning and qualified to audition for All State as well. I have the proclivity to learn extremely difficult violin pieces and techniques.I was a long distance runner as well. I have run many 5Ks throughout senior high, and completed my first marathon in April 2009. Afterward, I participated in gymnastics, circus arts, yoga, and contortion as personal enrichment.
