I meet students where they are at to help them set and achieve goals. How can I best support your learning?I am a K-12 certified teacher in Oregon, with an English Language Arts endorsement. I have been a middle and high school ELA classroom teacher, but I have experience teaching all ages. I have lots of tutoring experience in reading, writing, math and study skills. My favorite thing about tutoring is getting to know students to develop a positive, supportive and individualized learning experience.In addition to English Language Arts, I also teach Music and Visual Art. I teach violin and viola in my private studio, and teach K-12 art classes as a sub in Portland Public Schools, particularly for elementary school.

I am a student of The University of Akron. I will be receiving my Bachelors of Arts in Spanish this coming December 2015. I enjoy helping out students because I love the language Spanish and the culture as well. In the past year, I have traveled to Mexico, lived with native people and eaten real authentic food, which by the way I loved every bite of it (but again who doesn't love food!). My experience with students has been good because I help them understand in an easy way in order for them to grasp the concepts. My teaching philosophy would be to help the student reach their own set goal, whatever it may be. I will help with them activities and assignments that are due, help in memorizing and studying for tests, and much more. I'm here for the student so that they can become successful in yet another important part of their lives. I have always loved Spanish and helping people, not only in academic settings as well. Other than Spanish, I do enjoy reading mystery books and love watching movies of many genres.

I am agraduate of the University of Minnesota with a B.A. in History (minor in French) and Masters degree in the History of Art and Architecture from Boston University.I have worked with students of varying backgrounds, abilities, and goals since 2013, having first started with Americorps' College Possible (College Access Program) and then working for several tutoring organizations, focusing on both test prep and academics.Through these experiences, I have found it most rewarding to help each student realize his or her goal and aid them in accomplishing it with distinction. I enjoy determining the unique approach necessary for each student to succeed.Furthermore, I am passionate about not only teaching my students the material necessary to improve their scores on standardized tests and their grades in their classes, but also keeping them engaged as they progress through any test prep/academic programs.As someone who has been working with high schoolers since college, I find that I am able to connect with students on the important process of excelling both in school and on standardized tests such as the ACT, SAT, PSAT, SSAT, ISEE, and the AP/SAT Subject Test exams. Though these provide schools with a glimpse into the student, I want to help them put their best foot forward.In my spare time, I enjoy spending quality time with my wife and friends, exploring and relaxing at the nearby beaches, learninghistorical trivia, cooking, and exercise.

I'm a native speaker from Mexico City. By tutoring, I found my passion for sharing my culture. I help adult students learning Spanish for fun, to achieve professional goals or for traveling. Tailored classes to student's learning needs. My method is more focused on conversation

I'm a current undergraduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I'm studying biology, hopefully with an additional minor in either chemistry or psychology (maybe even both who knows?). I really like helping others to the best of my ability, best of which being academics in the math and sciences realm.

I am currently a professional school counselor. I am also a certified teacher for grades K-5 and I have experience as an Early Intervention Program teacher for Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade. My favorite subject is Math- and I have tutored struggling middle and high school students and helped them meet standards that they were previously failing. I am also interested in helping students enjoy reading and discussing what they have read. I believe that the key to learning is making the material accessible and real to a student, so I do my best to explain at the student's level and relate the subject to the student's interests.

I am currently a graduate student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling master's program at Nova Southeastern University, and I received my B.A. in English with a minor in Spanish from the University of Miami in 2016. I am a native speaker of English and Russian. Throughout the course of my education, I have helped my fellow students improve their analytical and writing skills through collaboration. I am able to tutor a broad range of subjects, including standardized test preparation, English literature up to the college level, essay and academic writing and grammar, Russian and Spanish language skills. Having scored in the top percentiles on the verbal and essay writing sections of standardized tests, such as the SAT and GRE, I also possess the perspective and expertise to help others excel on these and similar exams. I am passionate about empowering students to achieve their full potential through education, and I strongly believe tutoring can be a valuable tool for any student's academic growth. In my free time, I enjoy reading, crafting, and journaling.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Arizona State University, along with post-baccalaureate work in Secondary Education, History and Political Science. I also hold a Masters in Educational Leadership from Northern Arizona University. I am currently gearing toward a Masters in History.I have over twenty-seven years of experience as a classroom teacher, and have also been a tutor during that time. I have taught middle school mathematics, science, psychology as an elective, and social studies, which is my favorite subject. In social studies, I teach history (U.S. or World), Civics and Geography. I also tutor all the subjects mentioned, and have also taught religious studies.I enjoy tutoring most age and age groups, especially fourth grade through high school.I must also mention I work a great deal in developing the writing skills of my students, especially involving the use of the Six Traits of Writing.In tutoring, I work with a student's most effective style of learning. Anything can be learned if it reaches a student through their best learning modality. I know from experience anyone can and does learn. It is simply a matter of finding your own style, and I can help in that area. Oftentimes, clients choose a tutor because they share a similar hobby. In my spare time, I enjoy living history as a reenactor, especially with the American Civil War. I am also an avid reader, focusing on history and short story fiction. I am also a huge Disneyland fan. Finally, I enjoy most competitive sports, including baseball, basketball, football, and ice hockey (which I have played).

I am the first person in my family to be born in the United States. My entire family are immigrants and it was only recently that my last remaining family members came over from China. This meant that growing up I was the eldest of all the children in my family. Being an only child myself, I had a lot of responsibility to take care and help raise my cousins who are all younger. My interest and experience in tutoring comes from helping my cousins through school.My oldest cousin after me is three younger which means she was about to learn everything that I just had. When I a senior in high school, my cousins ranged from elementary school to freshman in high school. Going off to college led me to reflect on all the years I spent helping my cousins through school. Ever since middle school I would help them with math, writing, reading, and even on science projects. Moreover, I taught them about school itself how to learn, how to make friends, where to go for lunch, and so on.Watching them grow up made me understand what teaching and tutoring really means. Having the support from someone older who can also assist in academics builds confidence that students will carry throughout their academic careers. This is especially important at a young age. Even when I was at college my cousins would call from time to time about a problem they were having, school related or not. This is why my preference for being a tutor at Varsity Tutors is middle school and high school. I'd like to help students build their academic confidence while learning what they need to for school.

Hey guys, I'm Rish! I am a recent graduate at the University of Georgia where I got my bachelor's degree in biology. In addition to being a student, I served as a cultural executive of the club Coexist UGA, a persistent service member, and worked as a UGA peer tutor. Handling these different tasks has improved my time management skills as well as becoming a more efficient worker, a skill I constantly try to evoke in my students. Being a cultural executive has allowed me to improve in my oral communication, cultural competence, and leadership skills which I make sure to translate into my tutoring.As a peer tutor, I constantly work to improve as both a leader and a team member and always make my students believe in themselves as this is the most important part of the job. I try to first understand how the student learns, and structure appointments based on that to give the student the most for their time. I constantly engage in conversation with my students to create a warm and comfortable environment, and to make sure that you feel confident around me if questions arise. I also work to be a team player, as tutoring is a constant interaction and requires effective communication. I have experience in both one on one tutoring and group tutoring, diversifying my methods of teaching and interacting with students.In addition to my tutoring experience, I have taken many science and math classes that have prepared me when tutoring. Classes such as Biology, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Genetics, Statistics, and several other Biology related classes such as cellular biology making me more comfortable to help with such classes and breaking down complex concepts. I have also taken the DAT, scoring a 20 AA and 23 PAT which I am glad to help with as well if needed. I look forward to meeting you guys and making you confident with the material, and most importantly showing you that you can learn anything!
