I am an MS graduate at the University of South Florida, in the field of ecology and Evolution, with my bachelors from the University of Florida in general biology with a chemistry minor.Since graduating from UF, I planned to either go to medical school, or to seek a position as a professor teaching at a reputable college. I chose the latter; though the pay is less, I find too much joy in both research and teaching to not pursue those as a career at the highest level.Throughout my life, I have found that I am very skilled at teaching both my colleagues and those younger than me. Around my middle school years, I found I have a knack for explaining abstract and difficult-to-understand topics. At which point, I began tutoring on a volunteer basis which later developed into a private tutoring business. I normally teach college courses as a Teaching Assistant at the University of South Florida Tampa campus, while I further my work on my dissertation (centered on genetics).I am comfortable with teaching mathematics through Calculus I (or whatever the equivalent.) I am extremely competent with statistics, as it comprises an integral part of both my TA work and research. I also excel in all areas of academic writing. I am most suited to test prep tutoring sessions: I have invariably excelled at all standardized tests. I am also familiar with ACT and SAT formats, and the particular and differing strategies that maximize the likelihood of high scores for each.

I have a Bachelor's of Science in Chemistry and a Master's of Science in Leadership. My academic background and my innate desire to help others are two of many reasons why I love tutoring.Helping others and employing a Servant Leadership style is an innate trait of mine. I enjoy helping others in all aspects of life. Simply witnessing a student experience an 'aha' moment, or the mere excitement they experience when their grade improves or they pass a major exam simply brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart.Over the last decade I have been working in the Earth Science field as a Meteorologist/Oceanographer. I absolutely love math and science.I really take pride in helping others achieve academic success and I have a unique way of truly helping others understand the material. Helping others in any aspect of life has always been a true passion of mine.Being able to live out my life's purpose of helping others achieve success is awesome and I simply enjoy it.Tutors have a very unique role that is rather different from that of a parent or teacher. Tutors have to reach deep into the student's mind and gain a deeper understanding of how the student thinks, interprets, and analyzes information. This is a prerequisite in addition to have the ability to present the material in an easy to understand format.I am excited to play a role in this process in which in the end everyone's a winner!

One of the coolest things ever is watching someone figure out a concept that they've had trouble with. That "aha!" moment is what makes me proud to be a tutor.

My name is Molly and I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who has been teaching students of all ages for over 10 years. My areas of specialty are executive functioning, self-management, and fluency. I also have a BS and MA in Psychology and enjoy teaching high school and college-level psychology courses. As a BCBA, I have designed training for 11 RBTs, 1 BCaBA, and 4 BCBAs who have all passed their certification exams on the first attempt.

I'm an alumna of Jacksonville University. I've worked as a Clinician, focusing on helping children with learning difficulties and disabilities. I have particular experience working with children with dyslexia.I can help with reading comprehension, fluency, and spelling. I use symbol imagery for phonological and orthographic processing to help the student "picture" what they are reading and spelling. I have been helping children read for 7 years.I have also worked as a substitute teacher for Duval County Schools. I really enjoy tutoring elementary math, reading fluency, reading comprehension, spelling, and vocabulary. I believe reading is the foundation of success to all other academic subjects.

I am passionate about supporting, teaching and encouraging students. I have a Pennsylvania and Florida Elementary Teacher (K-6 grades) certificates. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA and a MBA from DeSales University in Center Valley, PA. I am an experienced elementary school teacher (7 years) and an online English teacher (3 years). In my free time, I like to bike, hike, read and walk the beach. I am eager to help more students improve their lives through education.

Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than seeing the look on a student's face when he/she has just grasped a difficult concept.

My name is Aki and I joined Varsity Tutors because I enjoy learning about science and technology and sharing that gained knowledge with others in a way that will help them make positive differences in their lives.I have a Bachelor's Degree in Marine Science and a Master's Degree in Education. I taught science (middle schools science, high school biology, anatomy/physiology) for nearly ten years before a desire to change fields steered me into information technology. I still tutor in the areas of science, math, ELA, and offer test prep as well.To me, tutoring is even better than teaching in a classroom because you get a better chance to see growth, both in your student and in yourself.

I love education. I received a B.A. in psychology as well as a B.A. in sociology at the University at Buffalo. I get so much pleasure and satisfaction from teaching and watching my students grow academically. Right now, I teach kindergarten, but I have taught preschool through Third grade and have also worked with middle and high school children. I also was a teaching assistant at the college level in Psychology and sociology. Phonics, reading, English, language arts, psychology and sociology are my specialties, however, I enjoy teaching any subject. Outside of the classroom, I love to go to the movies, enjoy live theater, read a good book, write, travel, or anything involving the arts. I look forward to helping you or your student reach their education goals!

I am a junior at the University of North Florida. I am a double major, my first major being Math Education with a concentration in grades 6-12 and my second major being Mathematics.Math has always been my strong suit and I have always loved helping people with their math. However, being a math teacher was not my first career choice. Before college, I thought of being an OBGYN, right before I went to college, I changed my mind to be an Athletic Trainer.I finally decided to change my major to Math Education after helping 3 friends pass their college math classes. And after my first official tutoring gig, I decided to add the second major, Mathematics, so that I can get a deeper concept of math.Currently, I work at Panera Bread and also the UNF Preschool. Although I will keep both jobs, I want to tutor to really get that experience of helping different students with their math, as each student is different and may need different teaching styles.
