Hi there! I am a recent college graduate (Russian major; English minor) with 5+ years of experience working with students of all ages and backgrounds. During college I volunteered as an after-school homework helper for kids in Harlem in grades K-6. I have also worked as a Teaching Assistant delivering lessons to high school students in a pre-college supplementary summer program. Currently, I am volunteering as an online ESL teacher for adult refugees, and recently obtained a Certification in Teaching English as a Second Language.As a teacher I am patient and caring, committed to creating an environment where you or your student can work hard and achieve their very best. I'm always flexible and open to catering to specific learning needs. I can't wait to meet you!

I was born and raised in Germany and have lived in Baltimore for over ten years. As a 7th grade Latin teacher, I have experience working with middle school students, and I have also taught Latin, history, and writing on the college level. In addition, I have also worked with high school students. I hold a B.A. in history and German studies from the University of Bielefeld, Germany, and am currently completing my PhD in Classics at the Johns Hopkins University. I enjoy learning as much as I enjoy teaching, and am a firm believer in Seneca's statement "non scholae sed vitae discimus" - we learn not for school, but for life.

Current Graduate Assistant in Economics. Helping students increase test taking efficiency and improve Econ scores! I help students understand Economics and apply it in their studies and in their lives.

After three years of tutoring students from kindergarten through high school and an adult in math, I have used and developed a teaching approach that values the student as a whole person, not just their test scores.I am patient, methodical, and understanding, and I work well with students who are willing to make an effort toward improving.I can tutor in the following subjects:- Math (elementary, middle-school, pre-algebra, algebra 1, algebra 2, geometry, and introductory trigonometry and precalculus)- German (introductory and intermediate)- Test prep (including SAT, ACT, and GRE)- Biology (high-school and introductory, college-level)- Chemistry (high-school and introductory, college-level inorganic)I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, along with minors in Chemistry, German Language and Literature, and Environmental Studies. Currently, I am studying toward a Master of Information degree with specialization in Library and Information Science.Professionally, I have worked for six years in biology labs (include five in genetics research), in addition to math tutoring for about three years.In my free time, I enjoy playing chess, doing crossword puzzles, bird-watching, and experiencing nature (leisurely hiking, sight-seeing, etc.).Please contact me with any questions, and I look forward to working with you!

I recently graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a masters in mechanical engineering. Throughout college and high school I have always had a passion for math and physics and the way it allows us to understand the world around us. Throughout college I tutored my fellow classmates in thermodynamics, physics, and calculus. I come from a German family and speak primarily in German with my grandparents. In addition to this I have taken 6 years of German courses throughout college and high school.

Just trying to make the world a better place one student at a time.

I was born and raised in Germany and went to college in Freiburg i. Brsg. (BA in English / German).In the past I have worked as a German teacher, court interpreter, translator, localization expert and researcher for the State Attorney's office. I now tutor those who would like to get a solid grip on all aspects of the German language, as well as younger students working on building foundations in Reading and Writing.Teaching is a passion for me as I truly enjoy helping students improve their language skills and confidence level. I believe that learning should be fun and entertaining.In my free time I enjoy walking and playing with my dog, music, movies, reading, painting, traveling and self improvement.

As the first academic in my entire, extended family, I was a completely lost college junior, had no plan, no experience, no help and also no clue where to find help. Out of luck, help found me one day and that changed everything. I graduated with honors and moved on to get my PhD. Two decades later, I am still very grateful and helping struggling students with Varsity Tutors is my way to pay it forward. Please do the same one day ;-)Every student's motivation to strive for an education is unique and personal, so are their tutoring needs. I strive to create learning environments that promote clear expectations and scaffolding in order to invite students to structure new knowledge (e.g. in graphic organizers) and connect concepts to their daily lives.I got my entire education in Germany, where I studied a healthy mix of Biology, Engineering and Computer Science called Technical Biology & Bionics (today it's called bioengineering and biomimicry) at the Saarland University, close to France. My PhD in Biology from the RWTH Aachen University in Germany was in the greater field of Biophysics and Bioelectronics.I tutor mainly biology and subjects related to my minors. I was a science teacher in a middle school, a biology teacher in a highschool and currently teach undergraduate biology at the university level. I also teach German classes and was the Vice President of a German-American Society. A few years ago, I developed a new interest in Business and co-founded two tech-startups in Florida. I recently finished a MicroMasters Certificate in Business Foundations from the University of British Columbia using edX.

No two people are alike, so there is no blanket approach to teach. I want to make my lessons fun and engaging, but also be excited about the lesson so that students can also be excited about the subject. I want my students to do the thinking, instead of telling them what they should know. Objectives are stickier stickier when the lesson is something that the student can relate to. I am no-nonsense, but I also want to make sure that my studI meet the needs of my students and continuously modify the objectives based on their mastery.

I am very interested in all areas of language study, be it my native tongue of English or foreign languages. I am fluent in German, and have some familiarity with Spanish, French, Latin, Anglo-Saxon, and Koine Greek.Language study lies at the center of my intellectual life because it incorporates many different areas of learning in the humanities - literature, linguistics, philosophy, history, cultural studies, the arts, entertainment, and so on.I believe that a rigorous education in the humanities is an oft-overlooked but essential component to one's life-long education as a human being. Language study facilitates the acquisition of the humanities in an especially holistic, stimulating, and flexible intellectual environment.Furthermore, it's incredibly fun and enriching stuff! And if the fun in it can't be seen, my job and my longing is to help students see that all learning is an utter joy!I feel drawn to teach so that I can help others begin to think about the world in a more informed manner, and especially so that I can help stoke the fire of curiosity in students and help them (especially struggling students who may be frustrated with a topic) learn to delight in learning.My musical education consists of 13 years of choral singing, 12 years of electric guitar, 5 years of piano, and 3 years of singing classical art songs and opera. I have performed in principal roles in the University of Tulsa's Opera Theater and am currently singing in the Tulsa Opera Chorus for the 2016-2017 season.I studied 3 semesters' worth of music theory and 3 semesters of ear training while at the University of Tulsa and I strongly believe that enhancing both one's aural skills and one's knowledge of theory brings a great deal of pleasure and novelty to the experience of all music, be it classical, pop, jazz, or death metal!
