I believe that everyone can learn, and it is an instructor's responsibility to find a means in which to make learning happen for each individual, regardless of their physical, mental or emotional capabilities, race, ethnicity, or religious background, income, gender, or sexual orientation or identification. I believe that learning is conditional upon one's learning style or modality; upon individual instructional tools and strategies implemented by an instructor, and upon individual learning interests, needs, or goals. I also believe that best learning happens when teachers form trusting relationships with their students, where learning and developing are the goals, and where encouragement and contribution is another goal. My personal beliefs about learning and instruction stem from an extensive background in the field of education, at all levels of learning, from elementary to middle school, and from high school to college. In fact, I've taught public school as an English teacher and reading specialist for 33 years; worked as an adjunct professor in the fields of education and business for 12 years, and I've worked as a certified tutor and educational consultant for a number of years. During that time, I've earned a BA degree in English, Master degrees in reading, curriculum and instruction, and several educational certifications in advanced literature, journalism, and free-lance writing. I pride myself in making connections with my students by demonstrating my knowledge in a subject area; my passion for teaching and learning, and my willingness to seek sources and provide immediate resources that enable learning to take place on a continuum. I know that everyone learns differently and that interests in learning are also different, from one individual to the next. My goal here is to be a bridge between what a student struggles with and what he or she needs to know in order to be successful and meet his or her learning goal. Therefore, I look forward to working with you as a Varsity Tutor and hope that you will continue the tutoring process with me until your learning goals have been met.

I think language learning is important. When learning another language the most important thing is to be able to communicate your idea, many students are just taught to regurgitate phrases and vocabulary without any use for it. Language is learned through interaction with others. Being able to speak another language means you can communicate. You can explain your idea. Learning simple phrases, which have their uses especially for a tourist, but when using the language it's more important to be able to communicate. It can be a lot of fun, I can teach Spanish students more than asking how to go to the bathroom. Learn about TV, movies, music, food and more all while learning Spanish!I have worked with several ESL students from different backgrounds and ages. Much like Spanish, sitting in class and learning phrases does not teach a lot. Students learn more through using the language and learning through things like TV, movies, tv, etc.I have studied Spanish for well over 8 years, I am currently a Spanish major at Salem State University, and tutored several students in college in the Spanish language, including students whose first language is not english. I have worked with ESL/ELL students in elementary schools as a one on one tutor. I worked as an English teacher teaching English to high school students studying abroad here in America. I received an advanced score on my AAPPL (Assessment of Performance toward Proficiency in Languages) from American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. In college I have taken classes dedicated to Spanish tutoring and other education classes.I have tutored many students who were studying for their exams as well as students who wanted to improve their language skills. I worked with students of various levels in Spanish, some advanced and some beginner students.I am a very patient tutor and I am willing to explain something several times and will explain in other ways that best suit the student's understanding. My biggest concern when tutoring/teaching is that they understand the content. I have strategies I teach students to understand the more complex topics in language. Learning a language does not have to be boring.It can be a lot of fun and interesting! Sitting around and memorizing and repeating phrases doesn't teach much. I teach through using the language through interaction, music, TV, etc.

Hello! My name is Whitney. I'm a certified elementary school teacher (currently teaching 3rd grade) here in the Atlanta, Ga area. I have a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. I am currently living in Georgia with my husband of three years. I am currently the Director of the Children's Ministry at my church in Lithonia, Ga. I have a passion for teaching and educating others. I look forward to teaching you!

Since I graduated from Wuhan Medical University, I have gained over a decade of experience in teaching Mandarin Chinese to English-speaking students. I have experience working with students from elementary school age to high school age, whether they don't yet know pinyin (the Chinese alphabet) or need help preparing for an exam to receive foreign language credits. As a teacher, I believe that individualized attention and custom curriculums can make a big difference, which is why I develop all of my teaching material myself. I tailor my classes to each student's personal goals, whether that means focusing on conversational basics or spending more time writing compositions. In my spare time, I'm a photographer, a gardener, and a swimmer.

I am a Mechanical Engineer. At the moment though, I have decided to change directions and pursue a career in medicine. As I go to school part time and prepare for my MCAT, I am tutoring physics, mathematics, biology, and chemistry, here at Varsity Tutors with my spare time.I graduated from New York Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and then obtained my Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Stony Brook University.I'm able to tutor physics, math, chemistry, and biology from grades 7-12 and the collegiate level. For those looking to get straight A's throughout the semester or ace the regents, let's start the year off on the right foot.My teaching methods are excellent, and unlike most tutors, I bring fun and excitement to the subject, because we all know how boring the physical and biological sciences can be at times. Using various analogies and examples, I find that I capture my students attention and bring the best out of them.Most importantly, I look forward to helping my students, allowing them to excel and achieve their goals. After being tutored by me, you will be believe me when I say, "The Sky Is The Limit."

I love my family, teaching/tutoring math, as well as watching, coaching and playing sports. I have been married for over 6 years and my wife and I have 2 children ages 2 and 4. I have tutored students from 1st graders through high school seniors and I enjoy interacting and teaching all levels of students. I have spent most of my years in a high school environment and I have coached high school basketball, football and track. I am currently completing my education so that I can teach high school math and continue coaching. I am typically very energetic and fun-loving person who has been lucky to find the field I am passionate about, teaching kids math.

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a teacher. I believe that teaching is more than a job, more than a career; it is a calling. Making a difference in the lives of others is important to me. I can't think of another job that offers that opportunity as much as teaching.

While studying for my masters degree in mathematical sciences, I taught my own elementary statistics course. I was also an assistant teacher for calculus, college algebra, and various other college-level math courses. I love math, but I also realize that not every student feels the same way I do. My goal as a teacher is to make learning math and statistics as painless as possible!

Born and raised in New Jersey, I completed my Bachelors degree at The College of New Jersey. I earned my degree in Biology with a minor in Law, Philosophy and Politics. I played lacrosse for The College of New Jersey's Women's lacrosse team where we won a Division III National Championship during my time there.I continued on at The College of New Jersey completing my Masters degree in Teaching and earning my teaching certificate for Secondary Education.I have also taught small class and done private tutoring for SAT/ACT for another tutoring company.I think it is very important when teaching and tutoring students to engage their minds in to the content. More importantly, I feel that learning is a lifelong process that we should all continue even past our days in school, therefore teaching students HOW to learn is just important as the what they are learning.

As Senior College student and young Entrepreneur, I can relate to the challenges of studying. I've taught myself how the brain learns to be successful in my coursework, and I'm passionate about teaching. I do my best learning when I need to teach a subject from different angles of understanding.
