I am a recent graduate of Drexel University, in which I obtained a BS in Biological Sciences with a concentration in organismal physiology. During my college years, I was a peer tutor who would help struggling classmates in many math and science subjects. I also served as a merit badge counselor in my Boy Scout troop, teaching scouts (ages 12-17) in subjects such as First Aid and Emergency Preparedness. These experiences inspired me to continue this passion, striving to make learning a fun, insightful, and a lifelong process while helping students learn in the easiest and most effective way possible. My favorite subject to teach is math, specifically the SAT/ACT math sections. As someone who values education and intellectual curiosity, I hope to impose this same philosophy on my students. In my 7+ months working with Varsity Tutors, I have found profound satisfaction in helping students to the top of their class and increasing their test scores. I am a very flexible tutor willing to work around students' schedules.

I meet students where they are at to help them set and achieve goals. How can I best support your learning?I am a K-12 certified teacher in Oregon, with an English Language Arts endorsement. I have been a middle and high school ELA classroom teacher, but I have experience teaching all ages. I have lots of tutoring experience in reading, writing, math and study skills. My favorite thing about tutoring is getting to know students to develop a positive, supportive and individualized learning experience.In addition to English Language Arts, I also teach Music and Visual Art. I teach violin and viola in my private studio, and teach K-12 art classes as a sub in Portland Public Schools, particularly for elementary school.

With my many years of teaching experience, I have learned that the impact I have on my students is immense. A teacher has the power to make or break a child's mind and soul My choice is always to create. I believe that the young mind has the right to be given an opportunity to acquire skills and knowledge they can use throughout their lives. Every student no matter where they come from, what values they hold, and what culture they practice, they should have the opportunity have their minds cultivated and opened. It is only in this regard that they will have the knowledge and ability to think critically, believe in themselves and become citizens that contributes to society's well being.

I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado and earned a B.A. Special Education Teacher k-12. I also earned an M.A. for teaching grades k-12. I worked a full time teaching position for the Hartford public Schools. My classroom was self-contained that was composed of ASD,PDD students, and many had severe behavioral issues. The students in my class were deemed "un-teachable" With the exception of one child all of my kids graduated in the mainstream! I am a very strong reading and math teacher at the elementary and middle school level. I use a multi-kinesthetic approach which enhances memory; while additionally we are having a lot of fun learning. I know my core curriculum and special needs is definitely a strength for me. I teach with a passion, and the kids always love me. I am also dependable, honest, and punctual. I have been able to reach several children, where others have failed.

I received my undergraduate degree from Vassar College in History with a minor in Education. I received my Master's degree from Fordham University in Adolescent Social Studies Education. I have worked in the New York school system for three years, both in the middle school and high school level. I have been tutoring since high school and particularly love tutoring students in Social Studies as well as Language Arts. I love tutoring Social Studies because when told, taught, and studied correctly, history can be the most thrilling story. I believe tutoring should be a rigorous but fun experience where both the tutor and student feel comfortable with each other. The first thing I do when I meet a new student is get to know their passions, interests, and experiences so I can make analogies to ideas and concepts they already know about. Part of prepping for standardized tests is feeling confident and building my students' confidence is something I constantly work towards. In my free time I am a sports maniac and play on multiple soccer teams. I love using athletics to describe key concepts such as comparing the Patriot's position during the Revolutionary War to home field advantage at a sporting event. When I am not on the field, I love to read historical fiction and political thrillers.

Education is the key to our society's future. Excellence in this matter is imperative. I believe that we must provide our students with the opportunities to succeed so that our society will succeed.

It is my pleasure to see students confidence grow and enjoy the learning process, not just race to the end result. Having worked with varying ages and levels of learning has given me the patience and excellent interpersonal and communication skills it takes to help students to achieve their goals.I have a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in International Relations, with a Minor in Spanish. I enjoy travelling, meeting and getting to know people from different countries and cultures, reading, sports (especially football/soccer and tennis) and outdoor activities.I hope to use my international experience, love of learning and teaching to broaden my students' horizons and help them to realize their potential.

Certified Biology and Special Ed teacher looking to help high school students better understand their coursework! I also enjoy tutoring Math and German.

I have been a teacher for over forty years. Additionally, I have run two college tutorial centers. You can find my books on Amazon.com.

I am a graduate of The University of Idaho. I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with an emphasis in School Psychology. I graduated early in order to devote my extra time to studying for the GRE so I can obtain my Master of Science degree in Family and Marital counseling. Throughout my high school and collegiate career, I have worked with children and young adults of all ages. I have instructed small pull-out groups of students requiring additional academic support and mentored 25 “at risk” middle school youth through various character building activities. I have also implemented a system for children with social-emotional behavior issues to identify emotions and self-correct detrimental behaviors as well as supported individual student academic and personal needs. While in Costa Rica, I worked at Escuela Cubujuqui; I conducted interactive English learning activities for kindergarten and first grade students and strategized ways to increase student academic performance with lead teachers. I tutor: Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, English, Essay Editing, Grammar and Mechanics, Reading/ Reading Comprehension, Spanish 1, and Spanish 2. Although I enjoy tutoring all of these subjects, the subjects that I enjoy teaching the most are Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Reading/ Reading Comprehension, and Spanish. I enjoy helping with Math because I get gratification from seeing someone feel a sense of accomplishment after tackling a hard problem or concept. Helping individuals learn how to effectively read and comprehend material is a passion of mine because as a child it would take me hours to read a book and understand the concepts. I now have the tools and resources to help others with this struggle and feel a need to show them how to overcome this problem. I have a very adaptive teaching style which I feel is the key to ensuring that each of my clients get exactly what they need from our tutoring sessions. I believe that every person is different and every person needs to be approached in a unique manner whether it’s visually, auditorily, or kinesthetically. When I am not tutoring and get a little time to myself, I love to hike, cook, play basketball, and watch movies with my friends and family.
