I am currently in my junior of college, and my major is Biochemistry with a minor in Spanish. My favorite subjects are Math, Science, and Spanish. I have been tutoring for the past 7 years in Middle school math, Algebra 1 & 2, Spanish 1 & 2, and in pre-algebra. Even though I tutor Spanish and Math, I am most passionate about Math. I enjoy teaching students by playing games and doing fun activities, because in my opinion learning should not only be serious, but fun as well. Also I love rewarding the student for making progressions in the areas that they were weak in and are now making stronger. Lastly, when I first meet a new student, I like to do introductions and give a 10 questionnaire, just to see where the student's weakness and strengths are in that subject. In my spare time, I love to watch movies, play volleyball/football, going dancing/singing, and reading mystery/romantic books.

I homeschooled for my whole education up to college, which allowed me to finish Calculus III before graduating high school. Currently, I attend University of Dallas, where I am studying for a math/science degree.I tutor for all middle and high school math, as well as for standardized tests like the ACT and SAT. I am very patient, and I enjoy working with students. When I tutor a student, I try to discover the root of the problem, usually a misunderstood or inadequately explained concept. Once I find the problem area, I can explain it as clearly and as simply as possible. If the student doesn't "get" the explanation the first time, I am willing to spend as much time on the concept as the student needs.In my spare time, I enjoy playing the piano, making and playing video games, and spending time with my friends (often to discuss geeky subjects). If I sound like a good fit for you, or if you want to know more, I encourage you to contact me.

I am a Math Interventionist at Thunderbird High School. I help students who don't understand a concept in math. We figure out ways to help them understand the concept. Students usually don't like Math because they don't understand it. I love my job because I can help people understand Math and than it makes it enjoyable for them.

I am currently a student at UVA. I have been tutoring throughout high school and college, but I am new to Varsity Tutors. I am excited about the opportunity to help tutor new students through this platform.Having experienced the pressures of standardized testing myself not all that long ago, I have a passion for helping my students achieve their highest potential. I hope to help them be accepted into their college of choice as I was. I especially enjoy the specific challenges of the ACT and consider that my specialty.At school, I am a business major with a minor in Arabic language. I am an avid ultimate frisbee player, and I play on UVA's team. My hobbies include running, as I used to run track, and various computer programming projects.

I am a recent graduate of Michigan State University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics along with a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies. Throughout my work as a tutor I have enjoyed helping students and peers one on one. I always love a good aha! moment where I can really tell that the subject matter is clicking. I take personal pride in watching my students learn. Most of my experience is in tutoring for high school and college level math and music. I also have experience assisting with high school Spanish. When I teach I try to help students fully understand the concepts and logic behind subjects. This way they not only can apply them on a test but they learn useful skills and ways to think and learn. I love learning as well as teaching and look to gain much experience from working with you. In my free time I listen to and play music, shoot hoops, practice yoga, and enjoy time outside hiking and such.

I am interested in teaching high school and middle school math, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. I have passion about math and would like to share my study experience with people.I graduated from the University of Washington with a MS degree in Electrical Engineering. I am a software engineer. Outside of work, I swim and do kendo. I also like to read and travel.Please contact me if I can help you with your study. I look forward to working with you!

I am a senior at St. Olaf College and will graduate in May of 2016 with degrees in Economics & Psychology with a minor in Management. I have currently accepted a job serving as an investment management consultant in Boston, MA. I am passionate about teaching and enjoy helping students prepare and succeed in academics. I especially enjoy helping students study for standardized tests. A lot of high school is spent prepping for college and with proper instruction anyone can get into the college of their dreams. I believe that I can help students achieve their goals. In addition to standardized test preparation my passions lie in public speaking and management. Beyond academics I love traveling, cooking, reading, and scuba diving!

I am a 2005 graduate of Vassar College (Bachelor's) and 2009 graduate of Teachers College, Columbia University (Master's). I have taught English Language and Literature for five years in both NYC public schools and a private academy in New Jersey. As a tutor, I have worked with high school students in the Bronx and suburban New Jersey on reading and math skills.My passion for Literature arrived late; as the only child of a book publisher and librarian, I had to get my rebellion in somewhere. But ever since I was introduced to Kurt Vonnegut in college, reading has been an obsession. I've spent years trying to force this love into gum snapping high school students, and when I see that spark of awareness that some of us get from reading great books, it makes up for all the swings and misses on students who just want to get the grade and get out the door.Even if you think reading is something to do only when the power goes out, I can help you find something unique and yes, even interesting in your dreaded required Literature.

I am a graduate of the University of Arizona Global Campus. I obtained my Bachelor's in Education Studies. My experience includes working in a daycare center with younger children and I do have two children of my own. My main goal is to teach middle school students in Science and History. I am passionate about Science and History which are the two subjects I look most forward to assisting students with through tutoring. I would love to help students learn how to stay organized, provide helpful study tips, and improve time management. All students learn in their own unique way. I prefer to take multiple approaches and provide multiple formative assessments to determine how the students are progressing. I look forward to gaining experience as a tutor and I want to help as many students as possible.

I am a graduate of Manhattan College and NYU both located in New York. I received a Bachelor of Science from Manhattan College in Secondary Math Education. I received a Master of Arts in Teaching of Mathematics. I was a 2011 Math for America Fellow; Math for America is a selective five - year program with a mission of improving secondary math education. I hold professional certifications in New York State for Mathematics Grades 7 - 12, Mathematics Grades 5 - 6, and Students with Disabilities (Generalist) Grades 7 - 12.I have been teaching for four years in New York City, grades 6 - 8. I have taught Mathematics grades 6 - 8, Computers, and as a Special Education teacher across subjects ( Math, Science, ELA, Art, Spanish etc.) Prior to teaching full time, I completed two student teaching placements, one in middle school grade 7 and one in high school teaching Algebra 2. Leading up to my time in education I worked at a local YMCA for over five years, starting as a Camp Counselor and working my way up to Assistant Camp Director.I am comfortable tutoring elementary subject and middle school subjects, particularly math. I also tutor Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Probability. I believe that the key to learning is the student - teacher relationship. The teacher needs to be willing to find the style in which the student learns and the student needs to be open to learning. I would describe my teaching style as flexible and receptive, my teaching style must be fluid because not all students learn in the same way. Some students may learn best by completing ten practice problems while others need pictures and visuals, teachers need to have a solid foundation in their subject area so they can modify their instruction to the needs of the student.Outside of teaching, I spend my time engaged in Sports and Arts. I am an avid photographer, graphic designer, soccer player and rower. I've played soccer almost my entire life and took up rowing in high school and rowed at the collegiate level. I started photography in High School and graphic design in college. I enjoy both digital and film photography, as well as developing my own film and photographs. I am proficient with both Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
