Philosophy of Education Malala Yousafzai posits that, "One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world." I am a firm believer in the power of education to transform the individual. There is a profound impact that one can make through the enlightening of a student in the formal education system. As a practitioner for over a decade, and at various levels of the education system, I have come to embrace certain values and guiding principles. Firstly, my client's education experience has to be student-centered. What this has meant for me is that I have had to be more deliberate in my lesson planning, execution and student assessment. I have been careful to ensure that I consulted with the students to ensure that that they played a key role in the learning process. This is especially important in defining roles, responsibilities and rules that bind the partnership. Secondly, it is critical to ensure that the student benefits from a holistic approach towards learning. The meaning of the cura personalis (consist commitment to developing the whole person) is deeply etched in daily approaches and interactions. As a result, I tend to spend quality time on mentorship, coaching and motivating to excellence. Finally, I am a firm believer in the view that every student should be able to solve some societal issue. Hence, I support the students in the pursuit of creativity, innovation and critical thinking. I consistently create the opportunity for them to collaborate so that they can complete a meaningful project.

Hi everyone! My name is Gloria. I am a research assistant at Harvard Medical School. I majored in Biology and French double at Johns Hopkins University, having achieved my B.S. in 2022. I have been taking French for 6 years, and I am well versed in other subjects such as many levels of math, biology/life sciences, academic and creative writing. I am patient, compassionate, and I will work with you until you reach your goals. I am well versed in different teaching strategies that can be molded to fit to different learning styles; we can find the best that fits for you. I have experience teaching kids aged 3 to adults. Good luck in everything you pursue!

I'm a current student at the University of Richmond, with a Bachelor in arts, majoring in geography and minoring in physics and French. Since I was a teenager, I've always valued giving people educational opportunities, from my library-building project in West Africa to helping out my friends on projects or academics. While I tutor a big range of subjects, I'm most interested in the subjects that I will pursue in college, alongside mathematics. I wholeheartedly believe education is an absolute necessity for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy playing frisbee, working out, and watching funny Netflix shows.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Economics from St. Francis Xavier University, and I have over four years of tutoring experience across a diverse age range, from kindergarteners to adults. My expertise includes teaching English as a Second Language (ESL), French as a Second Language (FSL), and various subjects such as math and literacy. I believe that effective tutoring is dynamic and tailored to each student's unique needs, fostering a supportive environment where learning is both enjoyable and productive. My approach incorporates interactive materials and games, particularly for younger students, while maintaining a structured and rigorous methodology for older learners. I am passionate about empowering students to achieve tangible progress, as I understand the challenges of language acquisition and the importance of strong communication skills in all areas of life. Additionally, my experience working with students with learning disabilities has reinforced my commitment to adapting my teaching strategies to ensure every learner can succeed.

I come to tutoring and teaching with an eclectic background. I'm a dual citizen of France and the US, and grew up in Geneva Switzerland. I've worked with think tanks, governments, the World Economic Forum, and even on Wall Street. Trained in political science (BA, Harvard; MSc, London School of Economics), I have a passion for history and the French language. My goal is to meet you where you are on your learning curve, and with kindness and humour help you move closer to your goals.

As a second-year medical student with a strong foundation in science and a passion for education, I specialize in making tough subjects easier to understand. I excel in math, biology, physics, and other challenging topics that often intimidate students and I genuinely enjoy helping others master them. My approach combines patience, clarity, and high-level understanding to break down complex ideas into manageable, confidence-boosting lessons. Whether it's reviewing homework or prepping for exams, I'm here to support and motivate students at any level below mine to reach their full academic potential. My interests include: Weightlifting and fitness training (especially strength and hypertrophy programs) Morning cardio and physical conditioning Studying medicine with a focus on anatomy, physiology, and clinical problem-solving Teaching and tutoring tough academic subjects like math, biology, and physics Watching anime as a way to relax and recharge (especially after a long day) Cooking (with a focus on high-protein, keto/carnivore meals)

I graduated from Dartmouth College with a double major, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in both Biochemistry/Molecular Biology and Music. I continued my education at Columbia University and received Master of Arts in Biology. Starting in middle school and continuing through my graduate career, I have tutored students in a wide variety of subjects, but I was most effective at tutoring math and science because of my lifelong love and aptitude for these subjects. Since I am also working towards a career in molecular biology, I use math and science every day, and I can explain real-world applications and uses for these subjects that may not seem obvious. By demonstrating the use of math and science in everyday life, I am able to help interact with the student and increase their interest in a subject in which they may experience difficulty. I also believe that as a tutor, it is my responsibility to engage with the student to help them achieve and even surpass their goals. In my spare time, I am heavily involved with music in New York City, being part of multiple choirs and continuing to play piano. I also enjoy exercising and exploring the city whenever I have the chance.

I have a PhD (Yale) in history and an MBA (UCLA) in finance. I have excellent writing and research skills, and have made extensive use of German and French -- spoken and for research. My work in finance has required skills with mathematics. I have taught university classes in finance and international economics. Another area of much interest, related to my background in history and public policy, is US constitutional law. I published a book on monetary history (*Gold, France, and the Great Depression*) , and a more recent book of essays on topics in economics and diplomatic history (http://books.ksplibrary.org/978-625-7501-75-0/ ) .... I have worked extensively on government-related projects, often in the greater Middle East. Effective tutoring should do more than impart techniques -- it should certainly do that -- it should help a student come away with some interest in and enthusiasm for the topic. (Soft evidence for the last is that my daughter earned a PhD in neuro-science, and credits me with inspiring her.)

I recently started teaching through Varsity Tutors, and before starting here I have had extensive teaching experience both in and out of the classroom. I have taught ESL here in the U.S. as well as in Morocco, Nicaragua, and Spain, both to classes and in individual lessons. I have also taught Spanish and Italian, and practiced conversational French with interested students. I am passionate about seeing my students progress and gain confidence over the course of our lessons together, and I really enjoy getting to know them and their interests, which helps guide my teaching approach. I hope to inspire in my students a love for languages, music, and excellence in English writing, as these are things that I am most passionate about.

I've been an educator for over 30 years, high school and college, and I teach Spanish, French, English, and Photography at Varsity Tutors. I am a Vanderbilt graduate and I earned my master's degree at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (Texas). I love working with words and I'm really good at explaining language structure. My love of languages naturally led me to travel the world, and I have been a practicing art and travel photographer for over 30 years. I can help you get started with your digital camera and have you taking professional-level pictures in no time!
