I am an actor, artist, and teacher, with my Bachelor’s degree from Boston College, and my Master's of Fine Arts from Brown University. At Boston College, my two majors were in Theatre Arts and Theology, and at Brown, I was a part of a three year conservatory in Acting and Theatre Arts.Over the past few years I have tutored students of all ages, from the middle school level all the way to college undergraduates and even middle-aged professionals. With every student, however, I start with one simple premise: how can we be ourselves as we seek to improve in our subjects? Perhaps my favorite subjects to teach are critical writing and essay coaching, and it is crucial in these areas that we stay true to ourselves, stand behind our opinions, and use language as a powerful and persuasive tool. My job as a tutor is not to tell my students what to think, but to give them the rhetorical tools to express their opinions clearly and concisely. The same premise applies to my reading comprehension and literature tutoring. I want my students to get closer to the writer, to see how they are similar, to understand more about themselves as they work to understand the material. Of course, students should enjoy themselves in all of their academic endeavors, and I like to have fun in my tutoring sessions. As an actor I usually play the role of the fool, so when I’m teaching I like to keep the energy light and fast, while still maintaining a rigorous learning environment.When I’m not teaching or acting I like to spend as much time as possible outdoors biking, hiking, fishing, swimming - you name it, I love being outside. I also really enjoy traveling and adventuring. I've been all over the world. I've lived in Scotland, London, and Sweden, and I've visited Italy, Turkey, Switzerland, Ireland, and Canada. My spirit for adventure also makes me a great geography tutor, and I like to ignite that passion for learning and travel in my students.

Hello! I am a tutor here with Varsity Tutors. I am originally from the State of California and currently reside in the State of Arizona. Furthermore, I completed my education in Stockton, California. The degrees I have obtained are as follows: Bachelor of Science in Community Studies, Associate of Science in Business, Associate of Science in Retail Management and Merchandising, Associate of Arts in Social Sciences, and Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts and Sciences. In addition, I have three certifications which are ESL Teacher, TESOL, and TEFL. My experience with tutoring is a total of eighteen years that includes working with students in person and online. The subjects I tutor are English, Spanish, History, Study Skills, Science, Reading, Writing, Social Studies, Mathematics, and many other academic subjects. I enjoy tutoring English and Spanish the most because it helps in so many ways with grammar, public speaking, and using it properly in conversations. My teaching philosophy is that I gear towards all types of learners whether they be auditory, visual, or kinesthetic. I have a variety of interests such as playing sports like volleyball and basketball. Also, I like to walk, work out, spend time with my family, scrapbooking, and going shopping. You can do whatever you set your mind to. Always think positive.

SUNY Binghamton Alumni. Brooklyn Tech Alumni. Bachelor's of Science degree in Chemistry. African-American student with Jamaican parents that grew up in Brooklyn, NY. Very patient with students and will do my best to ensure your success.

Hi, I'm Heather, a social worker in Portland, OR. I graduated summa cum laude in 2018 from Willamette University, a liberal arts college on the West Coast, with a 4.0 GPA. I share this to let you know that I am passionate and committed to lifelong learning, and enjoy helping others along the same journey.I know each student comes to tutoring with their own goals and learning styles. My sessions are strengths-based and person-centered. This means I do not talk while the student passively listens; instead, we work as a team to identify what strategies work best and individualize a plan that works specifically for them.My specialties are: writing, language, English, essay editing, social studies, and standardized test prep.I am passionate about equity, and especially enjoy working with students who have not had equal access to academic support systems.Outside of work, I enjoy getting outside in the beautiful Pacific NW, spending time with my cat Moose, and writing.

I am a graduate of Abilene Christian University, where I received a Bachelor's in Nursing Science. Since becoming an RN I have practiced nursing in multiple states at faculties like Vanderbilt and UNC. I have worked in variety of different nursing specialties such as ICU, Burn (Adult and Pediatric), Transplant, Cardiac Care and Neurology. I also completed 140 hours of NICU training.One of my favorite parts of being a nurse has been the opportunity to precept, mentor and prepare new nurses and nursing students for this awesome profession. My interest in the sciences became insatiable in high school as I tackled my first Anatomy and Physiology class, and led me to further my education in courses such as Advanced Anatomy and Physiology I and II, Microbiology, Biology, and Health Science.After being accepted to nursing school I focused on Pharmacology, Ethical Nursing, Medical Surgical Concepts, Critical Care Concepts, Pathophysiology and more. I have extensive knowledge of NCLEX preparation and remember fondly the days spent studying in perpetuity to do well on the exam.I think two of the most important parts of learning are foundational knowledge and confidence in yourself. Often times they go hand in hand and I like to build on both of those skills as we master any content :)

My name is Diana and background is in the sciences. I have tutored all ages and was a teacher for younger children. I currently work at a school as management so I am missing the teaching portion of my life. I have developed various strategies and tips not just for students but myself throughout college. What may work for one person may not work for another even from subject to subject.I am patient and work to help aid students with academic challenges and goals.In my free time I love spending time with my family and pets. I love to go outside but also enjoy cuddling up to watch a movie and nap.

I am currently a masters student at the Tufts Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy specializing in international law and international security studies. I also am an LSAT prep course teacher for Kaplan International. Personally, I have scored within the top 5% of test takers on the LSAT.

I am an Assistant Director and 8th grade history teacher at a charter school in downtown Phoenix. I previously taught 3rd and 6th grade all subjects (math, science, history, language arts, writing and phonics). I have a teaching license in elementary education and have obtained a Master's in Elementary Education at Arizona State University. I also obtained my B.A. from Michigan State University with a double major in Humanities-Pre-Law and Women's Studies.I have been tutoring children for five years. While attending Michigan State University, I tutored 5th graders at a inner city elementary school as well as a preschooler and kindergartener whom attended a Montessori school. While in Phoenix, during my first year of teaching I tutored a 1st grader as well as students of various grades K-8 at my school. While I am passionate about every subject I teach, I especially enjoy math, english language arts and history. Mastering these subjects are pivotal to the success of elementary students and I enjoy creating different activities to help kids become excited about and invested in the subject. I believe that it is important to treat each child as an individual and customize the work to fit their needs and interests. Tutoring is much more than providing academic assistance to children, it is about building trusting relationships and instilling in them confidence to help them reach their full potential.I am very well rounded with many different interests. I love to spend time with family and friends, read, exercise, enjoy the outdoors, camp, roller blade, travel, cook, music, movies, arts and crafts, and the list goes on!

In 2004 I graduated from Penn State University with a Bachelor of Science in Crime, Law, and Justice. I then went back to school at Barry University in Miami, Florida and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biomedical and Forensic Photography in 2012. I now work as a Forensic Photographer with the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Laboratory. Throughout my life, I have constantly helped out in my mother's elementary school classroom. I would read to her class and tutor those struggling in reading as well as math. Some of these students returned for tutoring all the way through middle school. In college, I tutored a student in the basics of photography. While I have worked with students in math, logic, reading, grammar, photography study skills, and more, math and logic are my favorites to tutor. I think the most important thing is to convey that learning can be fun. If it is fun, we are more inclined to do it! I love to play logic games, math games, and word games to learn in a new way. Additionally, learning different concepts' real-world applications can make a lesson more meaningful to a student. In my free time, I love to rock climb, run, take my dog to the park, read, do crossword puzzles, and play bass drum in my drum corps!

I am currently a junior at Georgia Southern University. I will be graduating in the Spring of 2022 with a Bachelors in Communication Studies. My first two years of college were spent going to McHenry County College (MCC) and getting my Associates in the Arts. While attending MCC I spent a lot of my time tutoring other students and children still in high school and below. While I tutor in a broad range of subjects, I am really passionate about English, and Public Speaking. In my experience, I find the most joy in seeing the improvement in students. I am fully aware that not every student is going to get an A. But when I see that a student is getting better, and their grade improves even in the slightest bit, I know that their brain in growing. I really believe that all education is important, even when the kids ask the question "when am I going to use this in the real world?", they just don't understand that we are helping their brains grow.
