Education, for me, is about finding your passion and helping others do the same. Education isn't just the books you read in school or the math problems you practice at home. It is about finding yourself and the passion that ignites you to move forward. It can come from the challenges we face, or it can come from the accomplishments we achieve, the goal we helped our teammates score in soccer. Educating students is more than placing them in a school, it's about igniting their passions and that is what I aim to do as an educator.As a student, I fell in love with language and it quickly became my passion. To me, language is the key to understanding the world, but more than that, it has allowed me to understand the diversity of people and thought. Language is an amazing and unique tool that has allowed all of us to communicate in some way or another, and it was this passion for language that drove my education. I began by double majoring in anthropology and French at the University of New Mexico, and three short years later, I followed with an MA in anthropology and education at Teachers College, Columbia University, where I completed my research in my home away from home-France.As a tutor, I like to help students find the knowledge and passion from within by understanding who they are and what they need in order to be successful. By allowing students to find a bit of themselves in their learning, they are able to strengthen their personal skills and become more connected to what they are learning.School is not all I do though. In my spare time, I love to travel and explore the world, taking a trip whenever and wherever I can, learning to cook new recipes wherever I go. I also love to do yoga, rock climbing, hiking and be anywhere outdoors. The sunshine is my happy place because it can be found even on the seemingly darkest of days!

Dream big, work hard, learn from the mistakes you make and don't complain along the way! I strongly believe that everything should be done for a purpose. If you have a purpose, a goal or dream, there should be nothing to stop you. Languages help you communicate with others in order to achieve your goal and help them get closer to theirs. Therefore, I am committed to making every second of our tutoring session to be valuable. You might be wondering what dreams of mine have already come true. Well, I was born in the largest landlocked country in the world and have managed to see three oceans! I can't wait for you to tell me what your dreams are and ensure that the knowledge you gain gets you closer to your destination.

I love to learn and hope to share some my enthusiasm for learning new things. I want to match your pace and break down each part until it clicks. And if there's something I don't know, I'll gladly go searching for the answer.I have the most experience working with younger readers to get them up to speed. However, my interests are varied, and I actually double majored in Business Administration and Management, which are the kinds of subjects I'll be focusing on here.I love when something I couldn't quite grasp before suddenly makes perfect sense, and I love sharing that aha moment with someone else even more.

It's very important for me to empower students to be able to succeed on their own. A real tutor gives them the skills they need to perform on their own, with the training wheels off. I have the content knowledge, the teaching experience, and the calm and disciplined approach to help students get to this place.

I graduated from Harvard University in 2012 with a B.A. in Sociology and Government. During my time at Harvard, I tutored various social science courses. Immediately after my college graduation, I joined Teach for America and taught 3rd and 4th grade in a failing public school in Jackson, Mississippi. After I finished my two year commitment with TFA, I moved to Dallas. For my primary job, I currently work with Dallas ISD as a data analyst. I intend to eventually go back to get my Masters in Education and possibly Statistics to continue my career in education policy.I tutor pretty much all elementary and lower middle school subjects, as well as the subjects I tutored in college such as Public Speaking, Psychology and US History. I enjoy teaching test prep as well because I love easing students' test anxiety with strategy. As someone with dyslexia, I have a lot of strategies that help both student with and without learning disabilities remember information and understand it.Outside of education and work, I enjoy sailing, which I have both participated in and coached most of my life. I walked on to the Harvard varsity team my freshmen year and ended up racing at nationals a couple years later. Athletics were a huge part of my college experience so I know how hard but important balancing academics with athletics can be. This caused me to be very organized and disciplined with my study habits, which is definitely something I try to impart on my students.While I think that organization and discipline are important for learning, I also know that fun is essential. My main goal with my students is to foster a general love for learning that persists beyond a specific test, subject, or even my time with them.

I am a recent graduate from the New Mexico State University with my Bachelor's in Spanish & Linguistics, a minor in International Relations, and my certificate to teach English as a foreign language. I spend my free time traveling around the U.S and other parts of the world, painting, hula hooping, and running! I love to teach people and help them achieve their true potential, I look forward to meeting you :)

As a future special education teacher and current substitute teacher, I am excited to become a tutor with Varsity Tutors. I am currently enrolled in the MEd + Licensure special education program at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and am set to begin my studies in August of 2017.My background includes working as a substitute teacher during the 2016-2017 school year for multiple districts in Columbus, OH. These districts were urban, suburban, and rural in nature. I served as a substitute teacher in both general and special education classrooms at the elementary, middle, and high school level. In addition, I accepted two long-term assignments throughout the year; one in a special needs preschool classroom, and another in a math and reading resource room at the 3rd-5th grade level.Previously, while earning a bachelor's degree in Psychology, I worked as a tutor in the athletic department at West Virginia University. I conducted both individual and small group sessions, and created written study materials for my students. In my free time, I volunteered in a special needs Transition classroom at the University, and worked at a recreation center for individuals with disabilities in the Morgantown area.I am excited to be in the Chicagoland region and work in the urban setting. I am fully committed to working with a diverse group of students from many backgrounds and of all abilities. I believe my past experience and my dedication to education make me an ideal tutor!

I have a well-rounded education that includes an AA (with emphasis in Robotics from KCKCC in Kansas City, Kansas), a BLS (in Communication and Visual Arts from BGSU in Bowling Green, Ohio), and an MBA (emphasis in Business Administration from University of Saint Mary in Leavenworth, Kansas).I have been passionate in helping students achieve a basic learning knowledge on various subject matters (but specifically in the mathematical environment) from Kindergarten age through College age for the last 34+ years. My philosophy of teaching is to listen, problem solve with real world applications, all the while creating a visual understanding.

I am a passionate EFL Teacher with hands on international experience in facilitating English language acquisition and designing EFL curriculum. I am looking for students who are eager to excel and pursue their goals.
