I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Jared

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate from the University of North Texas with a bachelors in Electrical Engineering. I enjoy contributing to other's education because it's honorable and a mutual benefit. I learned in high school that you learn 90% of what you teach and I've stood by that ever since. I first tutored 7th grade math as a senior in High School and I also tutored Physics 2 (Electricity and Magnetism) in College. After graduating, I substituted in two school districts for a semester. Math oriented material has always been my favorite and is what I focus on. When it comes to learning math it's important to remember certain techniques and recognize when to use them. I like for students to tell me what they do understand and then guide them from there. Outside of studying, my top three hobbies are stand-up comedy, playing basketball, and playing chess.

What is your teaching philosophy?

I like to see how much people know about their problem and then intervene when they get stuck to help. I also believe that people learn 90% of what they teach.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

Introduce myself, get situated, and jump right into the material as soon as I can.

How can you help a student become an independent learner?

I can encourage students to schedule time throughout their week to study and reward themselves as an incentive for studying of their own volition. People can use a planner to write when they will study and even how long they'll study. This should help them to actually start. I believe the hardest part about studying independently is "STARTING." Start, and then let the chips fall where they may.

How would you help a student stay motivated?

Create a reward system for themselves or with their parents. Is there an honorable/healthy source of entertainment you like to indulge in? Well, use that thing to motivate you. It's the classic "Work hard, play hard" method. Works like a charm.

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

I could start out having them explain to me what they DO understand and work from there. If the student has difficulty with a mathematical skill, there's likely an analogy I can use- something they're already familiar with that may help them understand how to solve their problem and others like it.

How would you help a student get excited/engaged with a subject that they are struggling in?

If it's math, I'd first tell them that math is beautiful/artistic and has created much of the world around them. I'd even go so far as to say that they are a living math problem in numerous ways! That's a cool way of thinking of it.
