My name is Ana Maria Rico Londoo, and I'm a creative, fun, engaging Spanish teacher! I have 5 years of experience working with children and adults of all ages in Colombia, France and the United States, both in person and online. Through my teaching experiences and studies, I have focus on student-centered instruction, critical pedagogy, communicative approach and the use of authentic material. These are concepts that have a main role in my teaching practice due to the positive results and effectiveness that I have evidenced in my students' learning process as users of a language, regardless their age or language proficiency.My passion for language and intercultural connections inspired me to pursue a BA in Foreign Language Education at the University of Antioquia in Medellin, Colombia. Since my graduation in 2016, I have worked as a Language teacher in Colombia, France and the United States. I am certain that my unique experiences, skills, love of languages and culture can provide the highest language education to help my students accomplish their goals.

I am currently a doctoral student at the University of Southern California, and I completed earlier degrees at the Juilliard School in New York and at La Sierra University in Riverside, CA. At La Sierra as an undergrad, I received dual degrees with honors in violin and mathematics, both of which have led me to teaching opportunities. In tutoring either field, I enjoy the constant adaptation of finding an approach suited to each student that will help them achieve their goals. Both mathematics and music are often considered to be innate talents, but being able to assist students of any background in gaining proficiency is an exciting opportunity for me and a fulfilling one when it happens. Beyond mathematics, I also welcome tutoring opportunities in Chemistry and especially Physics, with it's mathematical foundation.Another field in which I feel passionately about helping others is in English writing. Prior to working for Varsity Tutors, I would often help my friends with editing personal statements. I have also been fortunate to enjoy a key role in a start-up orchestra in New York City as a grant writer. Writing is an indispensable life skill that is too often overlooked, and I feel that my background allows me to be of help in a variety of tutoring subjects involving writing, from test prep to grammar and mechanics.I was fortunate to do well enough on the PSAT to earn a full scholarship for my undergraduate studies, and I recognize the importance of the PSAT, SAT, and AP tests for other students in achieving their educational hopes and dreams with a minimum financial burden. I am happy to work with students to prepare them for the standardized tests in the areas within my expertise.When I am not occupied with school, one of my hobbies is cycling and bicycle mechanics. I've rebuilt a number of vintage steel bicycles, and would like to build a wheel soon. I also like to stay active on the side with video and audio editing projects.

When I was in pre-school, I decided that education was my passion. Since then, I've worked actively to learn as much as possible and share my knowledge with others. As a first generation college student, I understand the value a quality education can have on an individual. I am grateful for the academic opportunities I've had and use this gratitude as my foundation in working with others. I'm grateful for every opportunity I have to positively impact a person's life through education.I have experience with a variety of students! I've worked with Pre-K to college, but have my Bachelor and Master degrees are in Middle Grades (6-9) from East Carolina University. I've had the privilege of teaching, tutoring, coaching, and supervising students who are gifted, students with disabilities, and students in low income areas.Education is my #1 passion. It is what I was put on this earth to do. I'd be grateful for the opportunity to work with you or your child. Thank you for reading my personal statement!

I have experience tutoring and mentoring students from middle school to college. I have tutored for Varsity Tutors and Rice Tutors and have even run my own private piano studio. In total I have 10 years of experience.My credentials: I graduated from Rice University with a B.S. in bioengineering and am about to receive my MD in June from UT Southwestern. My MCAT is 36Q (11 verbal, 12 bioscience, 13 physical science). My SAT scores are: 760 math, 740 verbal, and 790 writing. I've been through all AP classes, and graduated top of my high school class, and went into college with 54 hours of credit.I am a friendly, outgoing, confident person who is ready to do anything it takes to get you to your educational goals, because I'm willing to do anything to reach mine. I can help you with your homework, help you study (or even cram) for your exam tomorrow. I've even skyped with students till 12 am the night before their exams. I can also give you supplemental problems that are perhaps a bit more challenging than typical homework problems.

I graduated with a Bachelors of Arts in political science from Hollins University. I had the wonderful opportunity to study in France and spend a semester in London. Finding a positive learning environment where I was able to thrive was a turning point in my life and shifted my career route towards education. Following graduation, I earned a Masters of Arts in Education from Pepperdine University. I also earned CA teaching credentials in Social Science, English, and Multiple Subject (elementary). I have worked with all types of learners as both a secondary English and history teacher but also as a tutor for students in grades 5-12. I am most passionate about giving students the personalized educational experience they need and deserve. I teach most history subjects, English, writing, and study skills. I am at my best working with struggling learners who need to build the skills necessary to become lifelong learners. I believe each student has the capacity to learn. Often the struggles students have stem from a lack of academic literacy and executive functioning skills. These can develop overtime while working through school content. I overseeing curricula for a national group of secondary schools and am currently seeking a Doctorate of Education-Learning Technologies at Pepperdine University. When I am not working or studying, I enjoy exploring the city, traveling, seeing friends, and attending theatre productions.

I am a recent graduate from the University of North Texas. I obtained my BA in Biology and then returned for an MA in Linguistics, along with a Graduate Certificate in TESOL. Teaching is a passion of mine, particularly teaching English as a Second Language. I have been tutoring for over three years, and have created an ESL class at a local church to help serve my community. Many students seek help from an ESL teacher for a specific reason. It could be to raise their TOEFL scores, strengthen their communication skills for their job, or for a better quality of life while living in an English speaking country. Whatever the reason, I am here to help my students to the best of my ability. My teaching philosophy is that I aim to motivate my students, while instilling confidence. I want my students to leave my lessons with confidence in the skills that they have just gained.Aside from creating fun and interactive English lessons, my hobbies include playing the guitar, going for walks, and learning Korean. I also love music and watching foreign dramas.

I recently graduated with a B.S. in Mathematics Education (Secondary Option) from the University of New Hampshire in May 2017. I am currently pursuing my M.Ed. at the University of New Hampshire and will be certified in May 2018 after completing a year of student teaching. I was a tutor at the University of New Hampshire Mathematics Center for three years and was responsible for helping students with their Pre-Calculus, Calculus I & II, and Finite mathematics courses. I have also participated in a variety of summer internships for underprivileged youth, namely Breakthrough Collaborative and Upward Bound, and I'm especially passionate about making mathematics more equitable and accessible to underserved populations. My favorite subjects to tutor are Algebra I and II because they are crucial building blocks of mathematics, and contrary to popular belief, they are rich with opportunities for exploration and critical thinking.I love tutoring because it not only facilitates greater understanding of the mathematics, but it's also an opportunity to get to know students personally and develop meaningful connections. As a tutor, I believe in treating students holistically, which often means helping them solidify their study habits, develop metacognition about their learning by understanding their strengths and areas for growth, become their own advocates, and take risks with the material. I strongly believe that all students are capable of accessing higher-level mathematics and I'm passionate about facilitating those access points accordingly. I'm an advocate for the idea that mistakes support learning, meaning I use students' errors and misconceptions as vessels to develop deeper understanding and proficiency. I try to keep my questions as open-ended as possible so that I can guide students' growth while also allowing them the space to express their own thoughts and intuition.Outside of tutoring, I mainly enjoy eating, reading, and hammocking. On an ideal day, I'd most likely be eating food while simultaneously reading in a hammock. After mathematics, my second greatest love is all things cheese, so on any given day, one can typically find me salivating in the grocery store over a good chunk of muenster or mozzarella. I also seize any opportunity to travel and explore the many wonders of the world, and my ultimate bucket list goal is to eat my way across all seven continents. My other great loves are slam poetry and The Office, which has made me laugh more times than anything or anyone else.

Hello! My name is Eric Schultz and I am looking forward to working with you and your child! I am currently a sixth grade teacher and I have lots of experience working with children of all ages. I have a B.S. in childhood education and am currently earning my M.A. in elementary math and science. I am an awardee of the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching, and I have spent the better half of my life studying teaching and learning. Working with children is my life's passion, so I hope to have the opportunity to support your child on his or her journey of life-long learning! =) Thank you.

I love to learn and hope to share some my enthusiasm for learning new things. I want to match your pace and break down each part until it clicks. And if there's something I don't know, I'll gladly go searching for the answer.I have the most experience working with younger readers to get them up to speed. However, my interests are varied, and I actually double majored in Business Administration and Management, which are the kinds of subjects I'll be focusing on here.I love when something I couldn't quite grasp before suddenly makes perfect sense, and I love sharing that aha moment with someone else even more.
