I strive as a tutor to bring subject matter to life for students. I am well-trained in a plethora of Language Arts subjects, but they are much more fun when I can discuss them with others! My degree in English was one of the best decisions I ever made, and it is my goal to show students how useful and rewarding it is to read, write, and analyze the words of ourselves and of others. I have experience tutoring students from elementary school to the college and masters levels. I cannot wait to work with the students connected through Varsity Tutors!

I am currently a freshman at New York University in New York City, working towards a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics with a double minor in Dance and the Business of Media, Entertainment and Technology. While I am available to tutor a wide range of subjects, my passion lies in Mathematics, Italian, and Physics. I have tutored students ranging from middle school to college age in various mathematics subjects, and love helping others learn languages, specifically Italian and Spanish. I am passionate about helping students reach their highest potential. Seeing the transformation in a student's attitude when they finally begin to understand a subject is the most rewarding feeling, and I hope to help as many people as I can to feel confident in whatever problem or question is thrown at them. I have a deep love for dancing stemmed in me since I was a kid, and in my spare time, I frequent the theatre, and enjoy the gift of another day on this beautiful Earth.

I have an intimate relationship with tutoring, in part because it's sort of the only way I really learn: I don't really understand a topic until I can teach it to someone else. Because of that, when I was in school I would regularly be tutoring other students. I also spent hours and hours tutoring others over the Internet. For me teaching is an adventure. Everyone has different perspectives, and when you are teaching you have to be able to both provide a new perspective and to understand (so as to enlarge) someone else's perspective. In my non-teaching time, I am interested in Physics and Mathematics and working out practical problems from plumbing to electronics. I will someday go back for my Ph.D. in Physics but until then I am looking to grow as an engineer or computer programmer.

I just completed a PhD in Chemistry at Northwestern University. I started teaching in a Big Brother Big Sister program in Florence, Italy in 2006 and fell in love with sharing my knowledge with others. I was the teaching assistant for several chemistry courses at Pepperdine and Northwestern Universities; as well as being involved in Science in the Classroom demonstrations for 3rd and 4th grades. I am eager to share my love of science with students. I am passionate about science and math at all levels and I am a down-to-earth and compassionate teacher. My tutoring style is adapted to each student to focus on the specific areas of improvement. One size does not fit all, so why teach that way! There is nothing better than seeing a student's eyes light up when problems come together, which is partially why I especially love word problems. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and going to art museums. I also try to attend as many ballets as I possibly can every season.

I am a graduate of Hawaii Pacific University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and took 2 1/2 years of science based classes towards a Biology major initially having the goal of becoming a medical doctor. Growing up in Hawaii with parents from Europe and Asia, I've traveled extensively to visit family all around the globe. I worked as a Group Leader at the YMCA supervising a group of 90 kids (ages K-5) and also filled in for professors. My peers always joked that I was "teacher's pet." While I enjoy all things academic, I find learning languages and the culture behind them especially fascinating as they can provide a form of unity. I'm drawn to the ocean having lived in Hawaii, Southern California, and now Palm Beach County. In my free time I enjoy exploring the great outdoors and my guilty pleasure is watching random clips on Youtube while enjoying a good meal.

The English language has always fascinated me. It began when I was young, with my mom reading to me and sharing her own passion for literature. I soon began obsessively reading on my own, and that has continued to this day; I have a collection of over two hundred books that I am very proud of.My interest in reading blossomed naturally into writing. In school, I had to analyze the books I was reading, which made them even more interesting to me. They were saying much more than what was written on the page. Being able to decipher hidden meanings in stories and then articulate my ideas about them in writing made it even more exciting for me.When I began college, I chose English as my major so that I could further my knowledge of literature and hone my skills as a reader and writer. I received my Associate's Degree in English from Gordon State College, and then transferred to Kennesaw State University, where I am currently one semester away from obtaining my Bachelor's Degree in English with two minors: Professional Writing and Film Studies. After my Bachelor's Degree, I plan to pursue a Master's Degree in Professional Writing and, perhaps after that, a PhD in Linguistics.During my time at KSU, I have become much more interested in creative writing. I have written several short stories, both fiction and nonfiction, although fiction is my favorite. I have also become interested in the Film and Television industries. My fascination with analyzing literature has grown to include analyzing films and TV, as well. I have begun screenwriting and I hope to one day work for a network as a TV screenwriter. I spend much of my time watching TV shows and movies on Netflix, but I think of it more as research for my future career than leisure, although it is a little bit of both.At KSU, I am also a Writing Assistant at the Writing Center. This is where I began tutoring. I work with members of the KSU community with anything writing related. Through the Writing Center, I have received many opportunities to travel to conferences to discuss writing, my research, and Writing Centers themselves. I have also been given the opportunity to lead a group of young creative writers and teach them the fundamentals of creating a story. With this job at the Writing Center, as well as with working with Varsity Tutors, I found a way to use what I am passionate about to help others.My experience, both personal, academic, and professional, have given me an extensive knowledge of the English language, including the technical aspects of grammar and style. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and watching others discover their potential as a writer.I look forward to working with you on anything English and writing related!

Knowledge is imperative for not only personal, but also social and economic growth. As a tutor, I would like to disseminate this knowledge and teach students the valuable skills needed to independently obtain knowledge, create concepts, and build new ideas on those fundamental concepts. I graduated as a University Scholar and pre-med student from New York University with a major in Psychology and minors in Physics, Molecular and Cell Biology, and Chemistry. Having excelled in Psychology and its research, I am a member of the International Honor Society in Psychology; hence, I am well qualified to teach this subject. Because I am passionate about reading and writing, both creatively and academically, I have excelled in the Critical Reading and Writing sections of the PSAT, SAT, ACT, and MCAT and have often tutored peers facing difficulties in these areas. Although I struggled with Physics in high school, I approached it differently at NYU, was extremely intrigued by it, and decided to pursue a minor in it.This is the same kind of change I would like to bring about in my students through effective communication and personalized learning styles. There is no universal way to study, and understanding how a student learns new a concept is imperative to obtaining success in any field. I have taught young children, high school students, and college students topics like algebra, dance, and health education. Each age group positively responds to a different style of teaching, motivation, and communication; being adaptable and open to these changes is my forte. My teaching style often revolves around developing self-motivation, planning schedules, and understanding students' short-term and long-term goals. Because I recently graduated, I understand the stress students have managing their busy schedules, extracurricular activities, and studying for standardized exams, all while maintaining a solid GPA. Being flexible, compassionate, and patient is very important when teaching and I believe that an amalgamation of these traits, my teaching experience, and subject knowledge make me a well-rounded and effective tutor.

Over the span of 30 years of teaching at Elementary, Middle, and High School, my lessons have focused on active engagement of students in the learning process. Lessons are focused around group and individual work to assist in understanding and assessment of learning process. The environment is charged with a high amount of interaction between students to students, and students to teacher. Critical thinking is the norm in my teaching where students question, provide verbal and written feedback on the learning process. They assess and evaluate the effectiveness of my teaching strategies.

There is no question that education in this day and age is a privilege. Although there are thousands of students that attend school each year, under the same roof and in the same building together, the pathways that led them there look very diverse. For some, growing up, college was an expectation, rather than an exception. For others, the fight for admission was arduous and was pursued by a fight to remain accepted. I fall under the fight category.I am a first-generation college student, who worked vigorously to get where I am today. Most expected me to fall like generations before me, which drove me to excel. With hard work and dedication, I obtained my bachelor's in elementary education from Howard Payne University, surpassed my own goals, and became a responsible citizen, role model, and teacher to the younger generations.As an elementary teacher, I have been able to help young children develop social skills and positive learning habits in an enthusiastic, stimulating, and positive classroom environment. As an elementary educator, I have fostered the social and intellectual development of students, in hopes that one day, they too will also become a responsible community member.As most do, I grew older, married, and had children of my own. Upon having my son, he developed a medical condition which lead to multiple years in the Dell Children's Hospital, several specialist visits, and even more doctor visits. It was then that I realized that while I loved being in the classroom, I wanted to do more for children and build on my existing knowledge of the toddler and adolescent age group. Thus, I decided to pursue a second degree in Pediatric Nursing. In all, I have a Bachelor's of Science in Elementary Education, a General Studies degree, an Associate of Science degree, and I am currently working on my Doctorate of Nursing in Pediatrics.School was never easy for me, thus I had to find different learning styles for myself. This allowed me to better understand that while we are all working towards an educational goal, the learning styles we use to get there are very different. This is how I have learned to tailor different lesson plans and activities for the different learning styles of children, in Kinder through fifth grade and help themall succeed, while having fun!With my extensive background knowledge and my passion to help mold the younger generation, your scholar will be more than just a name in the system, as we will work together to build a relationship and learning style that best suits their needs!If your student is in Kinder - Fifth grade, let's get together and redefine learning into something positive and fun while ensuring their success!

My name is Bachka, and I am excited to be teaching through Varsity Tutors. I have an academic background in Resource Economics as well as Finance, and I have been able to use my degree working internationally for multiple development and poverty reduction NGOs.In school I worked as a tutor for my peers and afterwards, I coached youth sports in my community.
