I graduated from Georgia State University. I received my B.A in English with a focus on Creative Writing. I also have a minor degree in Entertainment Media Management. During college, I spent a great deal of time mentoring middle school and high school students. I held the position of Leadership Liaison which means I taught lectures on becoming a leader and building a personal brand. My goal with each interaction with each student is to get them on the path to self-guided discovery and growth. After graduation, I became a nanny for children under the age of 5. We worked on early childhood development and focused on phonics. I am passionate about helping students because no one should have to face challenges alone. One person can provide one word and change your perspective.My focus as a tutor is English, Composition, and Creative Writing. As a student of English and the written word, I believe communication is the central thread to all beings on the planet. Learning how to tailor your communication style to your audience is the key to understanding people and their lives.Outside of academia, I am passionate about dance, music, art, and culture. I enjoy visiting art exhibits, dance performances, music concerts, and watching documentaries just to name a few. I look forward to working with the great minds of the present and future.

I have always appreciated education and the many ways it is relevant to our life. I am a recent college graduate from UC Riverside with a BA in Psychology. Being able to say that I have a college education is a privilege and an honor to me because I feel I am making a difference in my life and my family's life being the first one to graduate from college. Along the way I had many struggles and difficulties being an immigrant to the US. I did not know English or had any friends or family other than my parents and brothers. I worked really hard and good people supported me in my journey. I know how hard getting an education can be and how students can feel overwhelmed with accomplishing their dreams. That is why I would do my best as a Varsity Tutor to influence and help students grow in their journey as productive members of our society. The journey starts from a young age and developing good habits and a positive mind set is valuable from an early age. I am delighted to be part of Varsity Tutors and making a difference in students life.

My life's work has been focused on helping young people in a variety of ways: parenting, volunteering, coaching, teaching, and tutoring to name a few. I believe that knowledge is power and grit is necessary to succeed.Reading and writing are necessary life skills that provide the foundation for learning everything; sometimes a person has to work a little bit more to learn these skills or to boost his/her confidence. Tutoring provides the opportunity to inspire and encourage the love of reading/writing and to demonstrate how these skills open doors to opportunities. Sometimes a simple review of a grammar skill is all it takes or maybe a new reading strategy helps move information from short term to long term memory. I firmly believe that good readers become great writers.It's important to engage students by making personal connections, pique their curiosity, and challenge them to be "doers and problem solvers". The best part of tutoring is that I can provide a caring, supportive environment in which students can take risks to achieve success. It's important that students believe in their ability to improve over time. My experience in education has been based on having a growth mindset: we are all green and growing!An easy way to "see" more about some of my philosophy regarding teaching and tutoring, here is a link to a video that was made about me when I was awarded a 2018 Teacher of the Year by Cypress Fairbanks ISD https://youtu.be/RdWvOxsfsbo.With eighteen years in education as a certified teacher of reading and writing, my excellent literacy skills coupled with as many years of experience tutoring students in grades 6 8 demonstrate my commitment to middle schoolers, but I also recently completed my TESOL/TESL/TEFEL certification in order to help all ages of people who are hoping to improve their English skills.Currently, my favorite subject to tutor would be writing because I love grammar! Grammar reminds me of math in the way that (sometimes) you can learn it by using a formula OR memorizing a rule which can be readily applied.I graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Arts in English and obtained my Texas Teaching Certification to teach grades 4 8. As mentioned above, I completed my TESOL/TESL/TEFEL certification in September of 2020. I enjoy Aggie football games, reading, puzzles of all kinds, playing and watching tennis, walking, and hiking. But, most of all, I love traveling and have been fortunate to experience many different cultures!

From my experience with immigrant students I know that difficulties with Algebra are caused by a weak foundation in Arithmetic; specifically, fractions and division. And difficulties with fractions and division are rooted in weak multiplication skills. A student that makes a 100 on the Khan Academy 4th Level End of Course will cruise to a B in Algebra because they can SEE the values changing in a function without constantly referring to the calculator.To take my own advice, I started in K (Khan Academy) and have worked thru 77% of Algebra 2 with incidental work in Trig, etc. in 3 years; this was done with breaks as long as 6 months between sessions and progress really slowed down during Algebra 2. I wasn't obsessed with the project but I did work all the problems. It was humbling to see how awful my test taking skill had become but I learned the connections between Arithmetic and higher math content.For study habits, I refer students to What Smart Students Know. I have a 1-page synopsis that I send to all my students.For Reading/English work, I use the First and Last technique and Teach to Learn regimen.I only work with people who want to actually learn (for whatever reason). I'm not going to do your homework for you.

I have worked both as a volunteer tutor helping underprivileged students and as a private in-home tutor. I have mainly tutored students in math, helping them break down unclear textbook material into understandable steps. I enjoy using my understanding of the subject matter to help others understand it better. I have a B.S. from UCLA in marine biology.

With a Masters in Statistics and a Bachelors in Applied Mathematics, I have a passion for numbers and problem solving. I enjoy empowering students to feel confident in their coursework and give them the tools to succeed. I am comfortable with all levels of mathematics from pre-alegebra through college statistics.

My name is Priscilla. I am currently a 3rd year student in medical school. I graduated from nursing school with my BSN in 2015 and passed my NCLEX two months after. I started work at MD Anderson Cancer Hospital two month later. In 2017 I started Medical school. During my first two years in medical I served in the Honors program as a tutor, teacher's assistant and a lead. I have vast experience not only in nursing, but in medicine. I decided on medicine to get a deeper understand of why we do what we do as nurses. So I am excited to share my knowledge of why things occur to give a deeper understand of concepts and how our body works as a whole. I also decided to tutor math as well because I've always had a passion for math and sciences. In fact I was able to take so many math courses in high school that I was except from taking additional math courses in college.I love motivating people to work hard and reach their potential. Sometimes that requires more work input than others but that it okay! Everyone's journey is different. If you fall, it's up to you to decide to get back up, shake it off, look for what works then push in that direction. Never give up.I look forward to meeting and guiding future students and professionals to meet their goals. There is nothing more rewarding than that.

As a tutor with over 4 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with students from diverse backgrounds and levels of academic ability. Throughout my career, I have developed particular expertise in standardized test preparation, working with students to achieve their best possible scores on tests such as the SAT, ACT, Selective Enrollment Exam, etc.Over the past 4 years, I have worked with students of all ages and backgrounds, from middle school students looking for additional assistance in math and reading to high school students preparing for college entrance exams.I have developed a personalized approach to tutoring, working closely with each student to identify their strengths and weaknesses and tailoring my lessons to their individual needs.

I recently completed an MA in French Studies from New York University, following an MA in European Union Studies and a BA with High Distinction in History from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I can tutor a wide variety of subjects, including standardized test prep, English, and French, but my favorites to work with are History and writing. The study of History is my passion, and there are few things that I enjoy more than getting the opportunity to share this passion with others. As part of my History Honors program in undergrad, I was able to help tutor other students in these subjects, including preparing for exams. I also have experience in providing peer reviews and constructive critiques in graduate level writing in multiple fields. Coming from a family of teachers, education has always been a central value in my life, and I try to use this love of learning to help create the best experience I can for my students. I believe that every tutoring session should be built around the interests and learning styles of the student to ensure that they not only learn, but hopefully come to enjoy it too. Outside of academics, I usually fill my time with reading, playing video games, exercising, and cooking.

I'm an enthusiastic learner even after 20 years of formal education (two Masters - going on the third, one Bachelor) earned on two continents, continued by military education in various forms.I love interacting with people and pass on my knowledge earned on four continents, instill the love for learning and continuous curiosity. Nothing is impossible when you set your mind to it. Failing once doesn't mean that you'll never win (proof in my athletic years and life ever since); determination, hard work, self-motivation and a good supporting system can bring to reality even the most apparently impossible dreams, and especially those in which we passionately trust.I believe in breaking down a goal into objectives, assigning tasks to each one of them, and then striving to achieve them.I'm a Certified Instructor with the Department of Homeland Security. My hobbies include practicing foreign languages by speaking them, learning about cultures and slangs, etymology, watching foreign movies, traveling internationally, taking photos, reading (a lot), carefully planning with room for error and impulsive decisions (to take the boredom out of things), meeting with life long friends, drawing, painting, and spending time outdoors for inspiration.I'm elated at the opportunity of brainstorming with students, and giving them tools to be independent learners.
