I love teaching literacy. I'm a certified reading specialist EC-12th grade, and I hold a general subjects teaching certificate in EC-6th grade. My undergraduate degree is in Speech Pathology. I have a graduate degree in bilingual/ESL education. Currently, I teach dyslexia intervention in grades 6-8. This is my 8th year as a public educator.

...life and career the most: someone coming alongside me and helping me with things I didn't even know I didn't know. I strive to teach and help in a relevant, understandable, and helpful way. I attended Oakland University on a full-tuition academic scholarship and majored in finance and minored in accounting. After working in the financial planning industry for 4 years, I became one of the youngest CFP Professionals in the country in 2019. My...

...towards my Bachelor of Business and Administration. As a tutor, I want to provide my students with the feeling of satisfaction that comes from the independence of understanding a concept. I want to establish this by having my students feel like they are learning rather than being taught. Reading has been something I have loved for my entire life, something that I can dive into and emerge hours later with a completed story. I want...

...studying for a class or test and only vaguely understanding the material can be extremely stressful. That's why I am more than happy to share my knowledge with others who are struggling! Tutoring is a great way for me to spend my time helping others excel. I am currently a student at Rice University in Houston, Texas where I am majoring in Mathematical Economic Analysis. I have a strong math background and am also to...

...up. The other reason is that I understand how tutoring can be a lifesaver to kids who struggle with a subject in school. It can be surprising to hear how many kid still struggle with school. And I can relate on having trouble with a couple of subjects (mainly math and Spanish). During that time, I would ask my family to help with some of my schoolwork, but there was only so much they could...

I am currently a student at the University of Texas at Austin studying Psychology BA. I am part of UT's Liberal Arts Honors program. I'm passionate about writing and teaching kids how to improve their writing ability with simple tips and practice. I believe that being a good writer is something anyone can achieve with enough work, and it is a skill you will use throughout your life!

...and literature units. I also have experience tutoring an ELL (English language learner) 10th grade student in reading comprehension. I love teaching! I love championing my students to help them reach their desired academic goals! While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about helping students sharpen their reading comprehension and writing skills. It was once said that if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day....

...a passion for teaching and my biggest goal for my students is to walk away feeling confident about the subject material covered in the session. I aim to create an environment that fosters trust and comfort so students are never afraid to ask questions or tell me that they're completely lost and need me to reexplain. I also make really nerdy puns and provide funny stories to help create connections with subject material and make...

...public speaking, or standardized testing, I believe I can help! No one is born with the ability to read, think critically, and write an essay that will get people to stand up and take notice. These are skills that everyone must be taught to become successful, and they can be learned. Students often think they 'just aren't capable' of improving their skills, but as a professional who specializes in English and Writing, I know they...

...University for scoring in the top percentile of Duke's TIP program which allows middle school students to take either the SAT or ACT after receiving instruction and prep. These interests continued on into high-school where I eventually graduated as 21 out of 550+ students. However, academics were not my only strong point. I was awarded track athlete of the year as well as both "Mix 96 Player of the Year" and "Linebacker of the year"...

...of high school, and now that I am enrolled in college at the University of Texas at Austin, I am able to apply my personal experience in the college application process to help out my fellow students. I have lots of experience in taking Advanced Placement courses as well as standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT. I am a passionate teacher and would be honored to help you achieve your academic goals.

...excited to meet you! I used to be an elementary level reading, writing, and math tutor, specifically for kids with dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, or autism and I was also a substitute teacher, primarily for elementary-age kids. I have my Bachelor's degree in Political Science, so I am also capable of tutoring up to a high school level in government. I'm really excited to start working with Varsity Tutors, and I hope to hear from you soon!

...writing, because not only was this my major in college, but I also have an ambition to publish my own writing and have personally benefited from workshops and constructive criticism. I believe that the purpose of tutoring is to help students to become confident and self-sufficient writers, and that after tutoring a student should be able to identify certain patterns in their own writing and correct their own mistakes. I do not just proofread or...

...into diverse cultures and mind sets. That contributes to my interests. So, what do I like to do? Read (presently, historical fiction about the American Indian ) and write anything and play the piano. When I was teaching in the city schools, I sponsored a fencing team because I loved the discipline, published a student literary magazine because the students loved writing. My interests change from time to time, though, particularly with athletic grandchildren and...

...new skills! Over the years I have really discovered the importance of individualized learning. We each have our own style, methods and ways of learning and I think it is super important to utilize these individual needs when learning and retaining information. That is why I am super enthusiastic about helping you find the techniques that fit with your needs and making them work for you in reaching your academic goals! As a medical student...

...information so students can grasp the material and have that 'ah-ha!' moment. I especially love using hands-on materials or physical activity to help the learning sink-in and stick. My priority is to not only teach the student, but to get to know the student so I can be a more effective teacher. I recently graduated with my Elementary Education degree and I am so anxious to put what I learned to work. I also love...

...Oklahoma (boomer sooner!) and my Master of Science in Communication Studies from TCU (go frogs!). I'm dedicated to creating a positive, inclusive, and fun learning experience for all students. I have personal and professional experience assisting with various academic accommodations, including ADD, ADHD, and dyslexia. My goal is to help students realize their potential and hone their abilities in their area of study. If you need a tutor with empathy, patience, and a sense of...

I have a Bachelor's Degree in History with a minor in Secondary Education. I have been a teacher for 9 years. I teach or have taught US History, AP US History, Government, AP Government, Economics, and AP Macroeconomics.

...it. Beyond getting good grades and passing exams, I believe that language opens doors to many opportunities and experiences in life. As such, I hope to show how learning English, be it speaking, listening, reading or writing, does not necessarily have to be a stressful process but can actually be fulfilling and enlightening as you learn more about yourself and the world around you. My main subjects of expertise are English Reading Comprehension, Academic Writing,...
