Marissa
Algebra Tutor • +18 Subjects
I am a recent college graduate with a degree in both Biomedical Engineering and Applied Mathematics. I worked for various departments as a tutor and Teacher's Assistant for mathematics and engineering courses starting in my sophomore year all the way through graduation. It was some of my most exciting times during my years there. For me, working with students is the most rewarding part, and I love seeing the moment a difficult concept clicks.When I tutor I adjust my teaching style to the student, and find various ways to relate the topics to real life. I'll often work with students to make sure they understand the basics or foundations of the concept or problem they are attempting and help them learn to think through and understand a process over pure memorization.
Steven
ACT Math Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am currently a Junior at The University of Alabama pursuing degrees in both Mathematics & Economics. After I graduate, I intend to stay at Alabama to get an M.A. in Economics. I have been tutoring both Math and ACT Prep since I was a Sophomore in High School. After 4 years of experience, I continue to enjoy tutoring these subjects, and the constant challenge of improving my abilities and techniques. I get a great sense of satisfaction in helping those I tutor improve their grades, test scores, and overall understanding of the subjects I am teaching them. Not only do I focus on the subject matter being taught, but I also focus on helping students develop the study skills and habits that are imperative to success later in their academic careers. Through my four years of tutoring, I have developed the ability to mold my tutoring style around however the student learns best whether that be visually, through examples, etc. This allows me to provide an individualized tutoring session to each person I tutor. I believe no two students should be tutored the same was; every student has different learning methods and I view it as my responsibility to modify my tutoring style to fit each individual student.

I love traveling, dancing, and reading. But, what I am most passionate about, is learning.
Brittany
AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +15 Subjects
I received my Bachelors from the University of California Santa Cruz in Psychology, graduating Cum Laude. While attending college I had the opportunity to work for the University's Learning Support Services as a tutor and mentor for my fellow students. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Women's Studies, Sociology, Psychology, Writing, and Research. Few things are as rewarding to me as helping others to achieve their goals in and out of academia. I find that passing on healthy work and study skills provides the highest long-term success rate for my students, so they can continue being confident learners even when I am not aiding them. Anyone studying hard deserves to play hard, and in my spare time I love to hike, travel, read, and craft.
Mary
ACT English Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am a lifelong learner and love helping others enjoy learning. Languages are my passion and I help students succeed by putting lessons in a real-world context. Whenever possible, I use film clips, journal articles, songs and literature, so that my students begin to think in the new language and not simply memorize words in a textbook! I graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a Bachelors in International Studies and a minor in French, and I have spent time living in both France and French-speaking Swtizerland. I have over five years of teaching and tutoring experience and have worked with students of all ages, from elementary to adult. I also have extensive experience teaching English to speakers of other languages and enjoy making my own language accessible to those wanting to learn it. I am a patient and enthusiastic instructor and I look forward to sharing my love of French and English.
Kiersten
Arithmetic Tutor • +27 Subjects
My philosophy is that every student deserves to be successful, no matter how or at what pace they learn. My job is to figure how you learn, and to help you develop skills to be able to learn on your own! I also like to make learning fun. Education shouldn't be boring, and we should bring life to it!
Juan
Conversational Spanish Tutor • +1 Subjects
I firmly believe learning any subject matter is not tied only to the classroom. There are so many resources that are now readily available to be able to comprehend and dialogue to. As a tutor I believe it is not just my responsibility to provide material and ideas to get the student to understand but to be able to find the energy and motivation to stay focused and get through the lesson as quickly and efficiently as possible. The ability to be able to engage to something new and finding meaning to finally understand something we are having trouble comprehending, is equally rewarding as it is a confidence booster. The more fun we can make the lesson the more memorable the information being given can be. Together we can make this happen, adapting to your learning style and any opinion you may have that may help you retain what is most important. I'm here to help every step of the way, catering to any type of information that is being sought.

LuAnn
Math Substitute Tutor • +9 Subjects
I am a currect member of the National Tutoring Association and a graduate of the University of Florida where I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. I worked as a registered nurse for 18 years at Hutzel Hospital in Detroit, MI in the NICU taking care of premature babies. I intensely loved caring for them and teaching the parents how to care for their infant's special needs. I also worked on a Cancer Treatment Center for two years and an extended nursing care facility for five years as a Wound Care Specialist. I also earned my Master of Science Degree in Counseling at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ and graduated Magna Cum Laude. During all of this time, I was developing a deep passion to enter the field of education. Next I started teaching English as a second language overseas, and completely fell in love with teaching, and with my students! I have been teaching for six amazing years and absolutely love tutoring nursing graduates with Varsity Tutors in order to prepare them to take their NCLEX exam and PASS it with much self confidence! I enjoy changing the futures of my students and setting them up for an exciting and life changing career in nursing opportunities! I encourage my students to ask many questions during our sessions together, because teaching is a process of learning for both the students and the teacher. Asking questions also gives me the opportunity to learn about and assess my student's knowledge base. My students come first and I will do anything to help them understand the material and excel in the goals of the individualized Learning Plans that we develop together. I do not cancel sessions with my students because that adds to their anxiety, and they are already pretty anxious about taking the NCLEX in general. When I am not teaching, I enjoy crocheting aphgans for the babies in the nurseries of a few hospitals in the Detroit area. I am also a Volunteer at an animal shelter in Canton and am an avid swimmer!
Kendalle
College English Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am a lifelong learner with a Masters from Columbia University in Organizational Psychology and a BA from University of California, Irvine in Psychology and Social Behavior with an emphasis on K-12 education. I have worked with a range of students throughout my academic career as a peer counselor, tutor and and career development coach. Additionally, I have worked in HR (specifically recruitment and engagement) for over 5 years, coached a young soccer team in my hometown and volunteered at the UN in NYC before becoming an independent consultant.The diversity of the people I have worked with has provided me with ways to make my approach useful and flexible in many different environments. With these varying experiences, backed up by theories and studies about learning styles, teambuilding skills, personality assessments; I have found a sweet spot in tutoring and coaching students to become confident and independent in the work they do. I appreciate the individualized approach that Varsity Tutors provides to its clients and am excited to give back to the community.
