...interest in learning about how the world works are wonderful qualities in a person. Many children say they hate school and it is just because they are having a hard time understanding the material and how it will apply to their lives. I believe that by bringing a child's interests into their school work and helping them to understand, they can develop the desire to want to further their learning. Currently I am finishing my...

...material. In the early part of my career, I often incorrectly assumed the student's complete understanding of the material. To eliminate these incorrect assumptions and better facilitate the student's advancement towards independence, I employ a fusion of direct subject teaching and a Socratic style of questioning.

...I tutor middle school and high school math as well as GRE and ACT test prep. Math is my favorite subject to tutor (especially Algebra and Geometry) but I'm also excellent at vocabulary and grammar. My teaching philosophy, especially in math, is to first ensure that a student has a solid foundation. So many mathematical concepts are built on the basics such as number lines, order of operations, operation properties, and algebraic thinking. I love...

The reason I chose to be a Varsity Tutor was because of the freedom, flexibility and ability to help others.

I know a big reason for my success was that I had tutors who helped me overcome those obstacles. So...

I am a former licensed educator with almost ten years' experience teaching and tutoring.... My number one priority is ensuring each individual student meets his/her goals. I adapt my teaching approach to meet the needs of each student, and I never lower my expectations in the face of challenges. I believe there are infinite ways to teach anything to anyone, and my aim is to find the best way for each student.... I would spend some time introducing ourselves and establishing a great rapport with my student. I would ensure that I utilized the session to become crystal clear about my student's goals, struggles, and learning style. Of course, we would also spend time diving into the student's work to help him or her feel successful right away.
