Hi there! My name is Mindy, and I am a retired high school English teacher, a retired high school principal. Currently, I am teaching writing and composition at the university level. I also consult with school principals on school improvement issues and writing across the curriculum.

I have my Masters Degree in teaching Elementary Education, my English as a Second Language certification, and a Bachelors in studio art. For the past 9 years, I have taught in both in the United States and in Europe. I always strive to make sure my students have fun while learning!

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, with a bachelor's degree in psychology and linguistics. Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree in speech-language pathology at Teachers College, Columbia University. In the past, I have worked as a teacher's aide in a public school classroom, a mentor to middle school girls, an instructor and tutor at the literacy education organization 826, and a summer camp counselor. I tutor a diverse range of subjects, and I find that I especially enjoy tutoring language arts, reading, and writing at all levels, from elementary school all the way up to college/grad school test prep. As a tutor, I am committed to helping students reach their full potential as learners. Throughout my years as an educator, I have seen firsthand the remarkable academic growth that can occur when tutors provide students with the individualized support that they need. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, journaling, and learning about other languages and cultures.

My educational journey has tested my patience and resilience. I had to be determined to make it through. High school studies were a nightmare, but I was able to recover in college until I obtained my Master's degree in Social Work. I have a share of personal and professional experiences that have anchored me in being able to mentor, tutor, or teach. I take much pride and joy in knowing that I can contribute to helping students achieve their short or long term goals in academia. My philosophy as a tutor --- what you fear is what you attract; therefore, think success.

I recently graduated from college with a double-major in History and English Literature. I have significant tutoring experience and aspire to pursue an M.Ed in Secondary Education in the near future. I have a great passion for the humanities and consider education a remarkable gift and privilege which empowers its recipients to transform the world through their knowledge and ability to improve the lives of others. I myself am incredibly blessed to have been given the educational opportunities I've had, and am inspired to become the transformative educator for others that so many have been for me in my life. I would be more than happy to provide my services and look forward to working with you soon!

I graduated from Fordham University School of Law in 2012 with my Juris Doctor, and was admitted to the CT Bar later that year. I received my undergraduate degree, a Bachelor of Science in International Business, from SUNY New Paltz in 2006. I grew up tutoring my 3 younger siblings, something that I enjoyed immensely and miss to this day. I approach tutoring differently depending on the child's or person's age and intellectual ability. I am hands on, patient and kind. Above all, I am passionate about bringing out the best in others and helping them to succeed.

As a educator, I believe students have a right to learn and expand their skills in all areas. Those skills may be areas of need or strength but all students have the ability to reach their goals. Teachers have the ability to help student find their own potential and I feel that it is my honor and responsibility to give students a feeling of accomplishment and understanding.

I love science and believe it or not so can you! Science is life and applies to everyone everyday. My method of instruction one I have honed since first being certified for Advanced College Level Tutoring in 97'. Over the years I realized that a strict "across the board" curriculum just doesn't work for every student. Everyone is different, has different ways of learning and tolerance for certain types of instruction. Therefore my sessions are customized to each students individual interests, so rest assured you will have fun and gain the proper understanding of your subject matter!

My objective of being a Varsity tutor is to foster a mutually beneficial professional relationship with my students. Through the platform of Varsity tutors, I would like to share my passion for Maths, Physics and Engineering with budding future professionals, and inculcate the same zeal and enthusiasm in them.

I am a graduate of Winona State University and University of Northern Colorado. I first received my Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Recreation and Tourism and a minor in Intercultural Communication, and went on to complete my graduate studies to obtain a Master's degree in Multilingual Education - TESOL. Additionally, I am a licensed teacher for grades 5-12 in English Language Arts.After graduating college in Minnesota, I moved to Australia to travel with the intention of building upon my career in tourism by accepting an internship at a five star hotel. Soon after working here and traveling, I realized that the industry wasn't for me, and that my real passion was teaching. In college I had worked with our English Language Center students by partaking in communication practice with them. I couldn't forget how much I loved interacting with people from other countries and how much joy I got from helping those students grow in their English language proficiency. So, I continued by education by obtaining a CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults). Through this process, I began teaching English to international college students in Australia, and my spark for teaching was ignited.Upon leaving Australia, I moved to Hanoi, Vietnam to put my teaching skills to practice. There, I worked for both public elementary schools, after-school English centers, and private classes. I had the privilege to teach students of all ages - from as young as five years old to adults. I loved teaching children because of their enthusiasm for learning and excitement about learning a new language. We played lots of games together to develop their skills and tried to have as much fun as possible while learning. I also loved teaching the adults. The commitment to learning I saw in adults was inspiring, and it was great to be able to have conversations with one another and get to know each other throughout our lessons.After leaving Vietnam, I moved to Denver, CO in 2018 to start a job as an English Language Development (ELD) Specialist at a Denver high school, where I taught for 2 years. I worked with students from 9th-11th grade solely on ELD. I have taught an ELD pull-out class at this school, where students with lower-level English proficiency are placed in a class together to explicitly learn the English language. Additionally, I co-taught English Language Arts classes. I worked with an ELA co-teacher who deals mostly with content-related English topics such as literature, themes, and character development, while I as the ELD Specialist supported emergent bilingual students in accessing the content by giving them English language assistance. Our school was awarded the ELPA Award of Excellence for the 2019-2020 school year for the exceptional support provided to bilingual students. Also, as part of my job here, I worked to teach students test-taking strategies for the Writing and Language and the Reading tests on the SAT. We worked through these skills weekly in ELA class, and I also was a teacher for our school's SAT Bootcamp. Additionally, I was part of this school's CH-ISA team, which monitors every emergent bilingual at the school and their growth.During COVID, I chose to expand my teaching experiences into the virtual realm of education. I have taught several virtual summer camps with Varsity Tutors where I taught creative writing and led a literature camp centered on a specific novel. I have also taught with various online platforms where I work with a remote curriculum to ensure students gain knowledge and understanding of English, even though I am not physically there with them.In addition to working with K-12 students both abroad and in CO, I also have worked with adults. Recently, I taught ESL classes to adults twice a week, where I worked with multi-level students to help them grow in their English proficiency. I also volunteered for a year tutoring an adult refugee woman in her English abilities.Education truly is the key to success. I believe that every person, whether an immigrant, refugee, citizen, American-born or not, deserves a quality education. I believe it is my job to serve students of all ages who require assistance and support with English to become successful in their academic and work careers.I am very much looking forward to teaching and tutoring with Varsity Tutors and looking forward to continuing to serve its brilliant students.
