...Jon. I've worked in education for several years, teaching all levels of materials--K-12+ to people of all abilities. I have had lengthy experience tutoring math, writing, psychology and literature. I've also helped prep for standardized tests including ACT, SAT, PSAT, SOL, Praxis, GED and general GRE. I went to college on a academic scholarship focusing primarily on psychology and medicine. I have a zeal for helping others understand tough subject matter specific to their ability....

...becoming a teacher, I've worked in small, rural schools, and large, suburban ones. I've taught classes in Language Arts, Drama/Theater, Leadership, and lead workshops where students completed their Essential Skills graduation requirements. My expertise is working with students grades 6-12 and adult learners. I love to help students explore their interests and hone their writing skills in English, but I am also here to help learners of French as well. I studied abroad in Poitiers,...

...degree to instruct students in ESL (English as a Second Language). I will enjoy helping you if I see you putting the work in to move forward. The life experience having lived in Ohio, California, Oregon, Canada, Brazil and Japan, in addition to traveling to various Asian and South American countries, has given me an appreciation for humans different from me. I want to learn from you too. I currently am working on learning Japanese...

...to tutoring. My exposure to the SAT began when I got the highest SAT score in my school district when I was a junior (without tutoring, even!). I started tutoring the Verbal side of the SAT in Los Angeles in 1999. Then I branched out into the SAT Math and then into academic tutoring in many subject areas. I was tutoring celebrity kids in Malibu mostly at that time. Since then, I've tutored students from...

...tutoring all subjects for kids ranging in grade level from kindergarten to high school. I also privately tutored English at the college level. I happily tutor in all k-12 subjects, but tutoring in any area of English is near and dear to my heart. I love helping students experience stories and learn how to use their own words to tell their own stories. I truly believe that stories make us better people, and I love...

...I grew up tutoring my younger sister and cousins pretty much throughout Elementary, Middle and High school. While attending PSU, I found myself helping a group of my friends in classes that I had already completed and Aced. Although I have never actually perused tutoring as a job, I feel that my wide range of experiences make me more than qualified to become a tutor at this point in my life. As you probably already...

...how it is a trick question, and teach you how to spot similar tricks in the future. Just like counting to 100 (or even 1,000,000,000) is no longer scary once you learn how the numbers are combined, so too the placement exams will lose their bite once you learn how they are constructed and how the test-makers think. The joy of using a tutor, like myself, is that I can not only show you the...

...to do their best. During my public-school career I taught art, technology, reading and writing. Similarly, as a professor my efforts and doctorate focused on the learner in online environments much like Varsity Tutors. Recently, I returned from a year of teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) in Thailand to both adults and children; it was an incredible experience learning new teaching techniques and earning my TEFL. I continue to teach because I am...
