I received my Bachelor of Arts in Legal Studies and Sociology with a focus on qualitative methodologies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I received my RWE (Real World Experience) as a project manager for a medical software company with clients in Seattle and Tacoma, WA, and later as a case manager for a mediation and arbitration firm in Washington, D.C. As a doctoral student in the Department of American Studies at The University of Texas at Austin, I teach courses through the Center for Mexican American Studies in American Studies, Mexican American Studies, and Women's and Gender Studies. My courses are writing intensive and promote critical thinking, reading, and analytical skills. I stress to my students the importance of developing strong written and oral communication skills, as well as applicable skill sets that will translate in the professional world. I began my tutoring career in high school as a peer-to-peer volunteer tutor. I tutored first generation students and students from historically marginalized communities with the federal TRIO program as an undergraduate at UW. In D.C. I tutored second language learners looking to improve their English skills. Most recently, I worked with student athletes through the athletics department at UT. I tutor a variety of subjects in the humanities and social sciences, but my favorite sessions include those in which I help students with their writing assignments, as I truly enjoy seeing the tangible progress they make during our time together. I consider one of my specialties as an educator to be my ability to meet students where they're at in their learning process. I believe very strongly in the importance of education and equal access for all. I share this enthusiasm for learning with my students through positive energy, reinforcement, and encouragement. While I believe learning should be fun, my teaching style is firm, but fair. I have high expectations of my students and will do everything in my power to help them realize their full potential in achieving their educational goals. When I have downtime, I enjoy growing green things in my garden. I played competitive golf for a decade through college, so a friendly round is always a welcome relaxation. I also enjoy the beach, tennis, rock climbing, and discovering new fiction writers.

My entire career has been spent doing the two things I love the most: working with kids and reading books. Not everybody is able to be as lucky as I have been. For over 34 years, I have been in public education as a teacher and supervisor. My undergraduate years were spent at Seton Hall University, and I followed this by immediately obtaining my Masters of Arts in Teaching at what was then called Montclair State University. In addition to working in high schools in three New Jersey districts (Middletown, Old Bridge, and North Brunswick), I raised four children of my own. Even with this hectic schedule, I found time to become a published author, and I co-wrote a book about baseball (one of my passions) which was published in 1992. Besides writing and following baseball, my favorite activities include reading (especially James Joyce), watching films (especially from the 1950s), and listening to music (especially jazz from 1927-1963). I also find plenty of time to be with my grandchildren.My retirement date officially takes effect on February 1, 2015. That is when my newest passion, tutoring young people, becomes the working focus of my life.

I recently graduated from Cornell University with a degree in English. I love all things literature and writing related. I have previous tutoring experience, having tutored 15 hours per week for 6 months at 826 Boston, a local non-profit focused on helping students develop creative writing and reading skills outside of the classroom. I am currently in the process of applying to PhD programs in English.When I'm not studying, I'm usually traveling or planning my next trip. I just returned from two months in Peru, Bolivia, and Chile, where I hopped from town to town and explored a new part of the world. Next I'm looking ahead to an extended hiking trip along the Continental Divide Trail in Colorado this summer. Backpacking and canoeing are my preferred modes of travel.I'm available to tutor anything English related- grammar, vocabulary, reading, essay writing, essay editing, college essay writing and editing, and the GRE verbal and analytic writing sections. My availability is flexible and includes evenings and weekends. I'm passionate about English, and I hope to share my enthusiasm with students.

I am currently a senior at the City College of New York completing a dual degree in mathematics and English with an emphasis in creative writing. I am equally passionate about both subjects and greatly enjoy stimulating others' interest in them through education. As a tutor, I do so by emphasizing the importance of understanding the greater context of the subject into which the specific skills to be learned fit. I find this method to be successful in easing the learning process, particularly in mathematics, as it helps students both to see how the various topics they are learning fit together and to retain the knowledge in the long term. As an added benefit, it also helps to fill any gaps in their education from previous years and improves their ability to quickly absorb new topics in the future.When I am not tutoring or attending class, I spend most of my time reading or writing. I have a large portfolio of short stories, am working on my first novel, and have begun working with professors at school to start getting my work published. I also travel and spend as much time in the outdoors as possible. I have visited almost all fifty states, spent the previous summer hiking in the Indian Himalayas, and am planning a trip to Iceland for this upcoming August.

I am a recent graduate from the University of Arizona here in Tucson, Arizona. For my undergraduate studies, I majored in Ecology and Environmental Biology, with minors in Chemistry and Art History; I am in the process of applying for graduate school to study Environmental Sustainability. My love of nature and the outdoors really strengthened my desire to pursue a career in environmental science. Although science is what I have chosen to study, I am extremely strong in the areas of reading, writing, editing, history and general social studies. In high school I excelled in AP Composition, Literature, World History, and European History. My test scores from high school reflect a strong understanding of the material, and I also excelled at the SAT Subject Test for Literature. I have been working for Varsity for over 5 years, and have tutored a wide range of students of all ages. I am very comfortable with children who might be shy or nervous working with a tutor, as well as those who are not too enthused about having any extra work! My tutoring style involves incorporating not only the review of the material but also practice in how to take notes, become an active and engaged learner, and improve in critical thinking.

I am a graduate of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Class of 2014. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biopsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience. I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Physiology from Case Western Reserve University. I am passionate about learning and I want students to have that same passion so they can reach their true potential and not let academics stand in the way of a bright future. I tutor a broad range of subjects, but my strengths include standardized tests and writing, which can make a huge impact upon a student's educational goals. I am very personable and I want students to feel comfortable enough with me to ask me anything. My hobbies include reading, soccer, and pretty much anything outdoors.

I received my undergraduate degree in History at Brigham Young University, and my graduate degree in Medieval Britain and Europe from Aberystwyth University. I began tutoring as a child when my teachers sent me to help others in my school, and have continued ever since. I have always loved helping students raise their grades and strengthen their understanding of a subject. My greatest academic passions are history and writing, and I truly enjoy sharing the information I have worked so hard to gain. I have worked professionally as a copyeditor and excel at aiding students in the areas of proofreading and referencing. My tutoring subjects include reading, writing essays, social studies, anthropology, religion, English, and literature. My favorite subjects are history, anthropology, and all subjects relating to civilizations. These fields are important to me because I love connecting students with their foundations and displaying how our own civilization progressed to its current state. I teach all ages, I worked professionally with young children in a montessori school before teaching university students while in college. I now tutor high school and college-aged students and teach religion to students aged 18 and up in my spare time. I tutor my students with tailor-made approaches. Some learn better with a simple layout of facts, repetitive practice, visual aids, or simply focused one-on-one time. I believe that any student doing their best is to be commended and supported, and I strive to ensure that my students understand how much I support and want to help them. In my spare time I enjoy crafting, travelling, hanging out with my friends, and blogging.

I earned my B.A. in Political Science and History from Columbia University in the City of New York. I also earned my J.D. from Yeshiva University. I have been an ESL Tutor and college application Advisor on and off for the past 5 years in Asia and the U.S. I can help students prepare for the LSAT, improve their writing skills, and public speaking ability, among other things. In my spare time, I enjoy sports, writing, cooking, and surfing the Internet.

I graduated from Emory University with a Bachelor's degree in English and Creative Writing. While pursuing my graduate degree in English Education at Manhattanville College, I have been fortunate enough to spend a significant amount of time in various classrooms. I have led classes in substitute and student teacher capacities and have observed several experienced teachers as well. My undergraduate education has provided me with a lot of English-specific knowledge while also enabling me to work in other content areas including math and test prep. In my spare time I can usually be found rooting on the Yankees, Giants, and Knicks, organizing a pickup game, or heading to the movies.

I am so excited about the opportunity to help students of all ages connect to their own passions for learning, in any subject. I look forward to accompanying students through any challenges that stand in the way of that connection and leading students to their own version of success. I've worked across various sectors and have always maintained a love for one-on-one teaching, especially working with children and teaching languages. My experience includes living, working, and traveling abroad, and I rely on this intercultural perspective when presenting language and social studies lessons. I am particularly adept at grammar, editing, and writing and can help students in the early phases of learning reading and self-expression. I look forward to joining in your learning journey!
