I've been in Nursing now for 26 years, and have always enjoyed mentoring and teaching. I have been teaching in a BSN program now for 4 years, and have helped many students get over the jidders of taking the boards.

I have been tutoring all levels of math and science for the past 14 years. I am driven by a desire to help people succeed because I believe that almost everything in this world comes down to how we were taught. It took me years to learn to swim. I got the stroke patterns down early but it wasn't until someone told me to exhale all the way through not just into the water but as my face is leaving the water that I really got it. The same applies to learning in school: one key idea or concept can make all the difference.My teaching style is easy going. I don't get flustered with students. We all were slow at learning something.

I completed my undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degree in Geography from the University of Colorado-Boulder. I did my first Masters at the University of Colorado-Denver in Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning. I am in the process of completing my second Masters at Metropolitan State University in St.Paul/Minneapolis, MN in Urban Education. My thesis connects White Privilege to my teaching. I have privately and group tutored all ages of students around the world. I have traveled around the world twice and am on my third passport. I currently teach Social Studies at an alternative high school. I believe a solid foundation in literacy (reading, writing, speaking, listening) are instrumental for growth and a higher standard of living. We can all learn from each other. I value respect, willingness and a positive attitude. I like to make learning fun and meaningful. I put the information in your terms of understanding and set you up to make the connections. My favorite is when students have "ah-ha" moments, when the "light bulb goes off in their head." I believe all students learn differently and I design my instructional strategy to fit how you learn. I tutor a broad range of subjects, but my expertise is in Geography, History and ESL. I have been in the "game of school" for a long time and know Standardized Test Prep, reading for comprehension and fluency and English Language acquisition. I like to have a good time, a smile on my face, laugh and make learning fun. There is a right time and place for everything. In my spare time, I enjoy being active outdoors.

I am a graduate of John Tyler Community College, I received my AAS of Health Science and my Paramedic Certification. Since graduation, I have worked many environments as a paramedic. Some of those including Critical Care, Emergency Departments, 911 agencies, as an adjunct college paramedic program instructor, as well as with the US State Department. I have also worked one Presidential Inauguration. I am most passionate about patient education, care, and Anatomy and Physiology.In my experience helping struggling students prepare for the National Registry Exams for EMT through Paramedic, is not only rewarding to myself but also to the student. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, care of my patients, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy being with my family, my dogs, the gym, and sitting around a camp fire.

I'm a licensed Mortgage Loan Officer with over 10 years of experience in the mortgage industry. I have a MBA and a Bachelor's degree in Finance. I've previously tutored middle school children in-person in Math, Science and English during the summers. I am also a certified ESL instructor and I currently tutor adults and children in different countries (mainly in Asia) looking to improve their English. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Personal Finance. In my experience tutoring students, we always seem to have the most fun, but the classes are life-changing at the same time. I am a firm proponent of education; believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy working out at the gym, practicing yoga and traveling with my family and friends. I also love to dance. I hope to see you in class soon!

I am a recent graduate from Georgia Institute of Technology and with my degree in an Aerospace Engineering degree with an International Affairs minor. Throughout my time in high school, I have had various opportunities to tutor high school students as well as mentor elementary students. It has always been such a rewarding experience for me to help someone gain a firm understanding of the subject they are struggling in. While I can tutor in various subjects, I am most passionate about Math, Chemistry, and English. I have an extensive experience in SAT Prep as well. I hope to share my love of education with the students and make it a fun learning environment and it is always a pleasure to work with students of different learning styles. In my spare time, I enjoy watching comedy shows, listening to various genres of music to elevate my mood, and traveling.

I am a graduate of the University of Missouri. I received my Bachelor of Science in Journalism with an emphasis in Strategic Communications. Today, I am a Firefighter/EMT with a lifelong commitment to this line of work that I am proud to be a part of. With a work ethic acquired through years of competitive wrestling and rugby, I learned to implement a determined mindset in the pursuit of academic achievement as well. My way of learning curriculum involves the step by step breakdown of a complex idea into concepts that are easier to manage. I enjoy tutoring students in essay writing, comprehensive writing, editing, and professional interviewing.

I graduated from Xavier University in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science in Sports Medicine/Athletic Training. In 1998, I earned my Master of Physical Therapy from Allegheny University of the Health Sciences. After working as a physical therapist for several years, I continued practicing and earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2014. I have been a clinical instructor to numerous physical therapy students. In addition, I taught Therapeutic Exercise and Therapeutic Modalities & Pharmacology as an adjunct professor for athletic training students. Because I had experience in opening two physical therapy clinics for a hospital employer and a private practice employer, I decided to utilize that experience to open my own independent physical therapy practice in 2015. After earning my NASM Personal Training Certification and pursuing specializations in Fitness Nutrition and Corrective Exercise, I closed my physical therapy practice in 2021 to focus on my current wellness business. I have passed the NATA-BOC, NATA, NASM-CPT, NASM-FNS, and NASM-CES exams on the first attempt. I know how to prepare, study, and pass professional exams! I currently assist with coaching a USATF XC & Track team; however, I miss teaching academically. I am excited to join the Varsity Tutor platform to teach and mentor students who are interested in athletic training, physical therapy, personal training, and nutrition. I am a gym-rat and an endurance junkie! I workout almost 2 hour every day because I love how exercise increases my energy. I believe my experience across the medical-fitness industry will provide students with great insight into both academic and real-world learning.

Hello! Jason Schmidt here! I attended the University of Colorado Boulder where I received my bachelors and masters of science in civil/structural engineering. Since graduation I have worked as a structural engineer, designing hospitals, health care facilities, bridges, dams, and other structures. I have experience tutoring undergraduate students in many subjects related to math and engineering. I have a hug passion for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and believe STEM allows us to understand this ever-changing and increasing complex world. STEM allows us to solve and understand complex and interesting problems. I have had the pleasure of working with engineers without borders, a nonprofit organization that travels and works with global communities to provide engineering solutions for basic needs such as clean drinking water. My main goal is to help students understand and love the world of STEM. I have grown to treat every day as an opportunity to improve himself and those around me. Outside of my work as an engineer and tutor you can find me climbing rocks, camping, snowboarding, mountain biking or practicing yoga. I provide a relaxed environment to help students learn, grow and feel comfortable asking questions.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Communication at California State University, Chico, and my Master of Arts in American and New England Studies from The University of Southern Maine. I also hold a Secondary Education Credential from Chapman University. For the last four years, I've been a substitute teacher of most subjects in grades K-12 and a private tutor. Prior to that, I was a high school Social Studies teacher for fifteen years. I specialize in all Social Studies subjects for all grades, as well as English Language Arts, Reading, Writing, Literature, Humanities, Editing and Revision, Organization and Study Skills, Communication and Public Presentation. I can also assist with Math in grades 1-3 and Science in grades 1-5. At the same time, I'm a historian who has traveled over 40,000 miles around the United States as a Cultural Studies scholar and worked as a volunteer and board member of a local historical society. My short stories and flash fiction have been published in literary outlets, and I am a member of a writer's critique group in which fiction is peer-reviewed and edited. I'm passionate about being an educator because I value the cultivation of a love for lifelong skill-building and believe that knowledge is power. I strive to create a student-centered environment where learning is an enjoyable and meaningful place on the student's path to reaching their fullest potential. Integrity, strong critical thinking, and original creative thought are encouraged. In my spare time I read, write, study history, spend time with my family, play with my dog, and enjoy individual and team sports, usually outdoors.
