Andria
Certified HSPT Tutor in Catalina Foothills, AZ
I am the mother of two adults, who will always be my kids in my heart. I also have three dogs who make me smile every day and a husband who wants to be Superman. I enjoy painting, yoga, reading, watching tv, gardening, cooking and a good cup of tea. ... In a first session I would try to find out the student's goal and assess what their current strengths and weaknesses are in regard to that goal.

Certified HSPT Tutor in Catalina Foothills, AZ
...at Bryn Mawr in the process of applying to medical school, so I love tutoring science! Chemistry is my favorite subject. I often tutor SAT prep as well, and I also tutor GRE prep, math, statistics, psychology, writing, and many other subjects.

I want my students to be critical thinkers...

Struggling or reluctant readers often see reading as a chore, so I believe it is imperative to develop a student’s love for literacy at the same time as their skill, no matter what age they are. When I’m not working, you can find me pleasure reading (often via audiobook!), running, watching soccer and...

In addition, using my knowledge of science, math, the arts, and the humanities, I make connections between different subjects to help my students see how what we're working on isn't so strange after all! Before beginning to work with Varsity Tutors in August of 2014, I worked in a K-8 school as an intervention math teacher. There, I tutored elementary- and middle-school students in math in small groups. Working in that setting taught me...
