Award-Winning Middle School Math Tutors in Washington DC

...their Miami, Florida location teaching 5th and 6th grade science, where I a was again responsible for my own lesson plans, classwork, homework and quizzes. I am very interested in working with Varsity Tutors as I absolutely love working with children, especially in a teaching capacity. I enjoy the challenge of working through a topic with a student, thinking of all the possible ways to approach a problem or explain a concept, until finally I...

...I'm still a kid. I love comics and movies - any story, really. I always get a little tingle of excitement down my spine whether I am watching or reading something for the first or fiftieth time. I am passionate about everything I do, and that extends to education. I have taught students of all grades and ages, in summer camps and schools, and this hands-on experience guides my work with newer students. I like...

...I am currently obtaining my Masters of Science in Education with a concentration in mild to moderate disabilities at Johns Hopkins University. I am a part time para-educator at an Elementary School in Silver Spring and I also work at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in Bethesda, MD. My tutoring experience began while I was obtaining my undergraduate degree. I tutored fourth grade mathematics and first grade reading. I just love helping others learn...

...get through a tough concept or problem is made totally worthwhile when the student then says, "Ok, let me do this next one on my own. I've got this." That's when I know knowledge has truly been shared, and that both the student and I have done our jobs. When I'm not tutoring, I love to be outside! You can find me either running on the beach in the summer or snowboarding on the slopes...

I have tutored and taught for the past 15 years. I have helped students of all ages (from elementary school to adult) in a wide variety of subjects, including Math (Elementary Math to Calculus), Science (including Physics and Chemistry), test prep (ACT, SAT, GMAT, GRE), and English. My approach is individualized - each student gets a lesson based on his needs, strengths, and weaknesses. I try to find out exactly what a student has difficulty...

...right way to learn and I believe students are most successful when their instructor is able to meet them where they are. I enjoy helping students identify their strengths, which not only helps me tailor my sessions to their specific needs, but also provides encouragement for learners who may feel disengaged or dispirited. Often times, this means that we not only work on learning specific subjects, but also improving study and organizational skills. When I’m...

...to tutor are Math, Physics, History, and Engineering. During tutoring sessions, I strive to make students comfortable with the material and confident in their abilities. I'm glad to work with you when you feel in over your head, when you want that little bit of extra polish, and at all times in between. I ask a lot of questions to encourage you to think through whatever it is you are trying to master. I love...

...school aged students on their math skills as well. My goal is to see you succeed and understand the material and subject you are struggling with. However you need to get there, I am here to help. I'm a mother of a young and active little boy. I spend a great deal of time pretending to be a dinosaur. However, when I'm not pretending to be a dinosaur, I enjoy working out, running, and craft projects....

...working towards my Master's Degree in Biochemistry thru the Accelerated BS/MS program. I'll graduate in the spring of 2016 with my Bachelor's degree and in the following spring with Master's. Afterwards I aspire to go on to medical school and study Pediatrics. My tutoring experience covers elementary math thru high school Algebra 2. I'm comfortable using method books if the goal is to get ahead in class, but I'm also fine with just working through...

...traveling, and volunteering. I have had a chance to hike the Annapurna Mountains of Nepal, and have reached the summit of Mt. Elbert, the highest peak in the Rocky Mountains. While there, I completed a course in mountain medicine. I've also bungy jumped on three continents and have plans to do the remaining three (does Antarctica even count?!) in the next few years. Perhaps most of all, I enjoy getting to know new and interesting...
