...developing and with autism spectrum disorder. The subjects I tutor are varied, but I focus on statistics and mathematics through pre-calculus along with test preparation and essay writing. I am also available to tutor psychology and German (beginner- and intermediate-level). Although I enjoy helping students improve in all subjects, I find that tutoring for standardized tests offers particularly rewarding experiences given the potential impact on students' future academic endeavors. My teaching style involves helping students...

...got a greatly improved score on a test or aced a reading or writing assignment gives me great satisfaction as a teacher. I enjoyed my years in the classroom and look forward to returning some day to that environment but find that I truly enjoy teaching in small intimate groups of 1-4 students. When I teach I find out how my students learn best and teach to their strengths. In my spare time I take...

...with people but especially students. I have worked with children since high school and in my last occupation, I worked with children who suffered from behavioral problems. I value education and as part of working with students, I aspire to pass on that passion for education in order to achieve the most that life has to offer. After a long day, I always look forward to coming home to my German Shepherd as she has...

We all have goals in life, so let's reach them together! It is important to use our creativity and positivity to better those around us. We all learn in different ways, so let me help you find the way so we can continue to learn something new everyday!

...and Cellular Biology. My passion for science began early on through participation in STEM-focused programs throughout high school and college, where I developed a strong foundation in the sciences. I first discovered Varsity Tutors while preparing for the MCAT and truly appreciated the personalized approach and adaptability of my tutor made a meaningful difference in my study process. Now, I'm excited to give back and help other students reach their academic goals with the same...

...using advanced microscopy techniques to visualize them. As an undergraduate, I was the recipient of a Teaching Excellence award for a Teaching Assistant position I held for a Microbiology Lab, which was an expected but great honor for me to receive. I have held two very different chemistry based jobs (one that I am currently in now) since graduation in which I test drinking water and foods for a vast array of microbial agents and...

...especially fourth grade through high school. I must also mention I work a great deal in developing the writing skills of my students, especially involving the use of the Six Traits of Writing. In tutoring, I work with a student's most effective style of learning. Anything can be learned if it reaches a student through their best learning modality. I know from experience anyone can and does learn. It is simply a matter of finding...

...posed by high-risk/high-failure courses to guide undergraduates to discover, not just "what to learn," but also "how to learn." Knowing how to learn and how to obtain information is a skill demonstrated by multiple research studies to predict success in advanced classwork as well as in post-academic careers. I prepared the session plans and created new study materials for my students, which I then used to guide students in the study groups. My goal for...

...I cannot make anyone 'smarter,' I can help them break information down until they understand it and show them where the subject can intersect their own passions. Would you understand The Odyssey better if we looked at Odysseus as the ancestor of Batman? That can be done. Would math make more sense to you if the numbers were people and the operations were events in a story? We can do that, too. I graduated from...

...career in cardiology. I am passionate about working with learners and helping them reach their academic goals. My strengths include standardized test preparation for the ACT, MCAT, and USMLE Step 1 and Step 2, as well as core subjects such as medicine, anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, biology, chemistry, biochemistry, physics, psychology, etc. In addition, I have extensive experience helping students craft compelling essays for college and medical school applications. I look forward to supporting you in...

...me in the long-term for subjects like algebra, trigonometry, and geometry. But also, for short-term goals such as ACT test prep. I've taken the exam and know exactly how to help students perform well. I tutor students in a way that is fun, helpful, but also logical. Students learn best when subjects are broken down into simple, easy-to-understand steps. That's my teaching style, taking concepts and moving forward one step at a time. In my...

...and plan to teach other courses there in the future. I am very excited on the first day of every semester to meet my new students! It is my goal to make all the material relevant and interesting. I want my students to be as excited as me to learn each and every class. While I currently teach college students professionally, I still really enjoy tutoring younger students. I have worked with students from kindergarten...

...and a Medical Assistant. I truly love academia and plan to pursue a PhD and a professorship later on but it doesn't totally encapsulate my life. I also love to ride my bike (both mountain and road). Nearly anything that will get me outside, I'm certain to enjoy (rock climbing, hiking, backpacking). Photography is another activity I enjoy, and it goes very well with my "outdoorsy" activities by giving me a way to artistically capture...

...only did I enjoy it, but there were positive results for him as well. I have a well-rounded background including everything most math-related fields (as my major requires me to have an extensive mathematical background), computing, and acting. Although most technical students don't have the time, or perhaps the desire, to engage in an art, I actively pursue my artistic interest acting in movies and taking classes. I also grew up playing sports, specifically football,...

...at Emory University, I continued to tutor after school while pursuing my Bachelor's in Psychology. I then went on to get my teaching certificate and a Master's degree in Elementary Education from Arizona State University. After earning my degree, I began teaching a combined 3rd and 4th grade classroom. I was a classroom teacher for four years and in that time, I taught multiple grade levels and subject areas. I now work for Arizona Science...

Hi there. I am Ms. Hale. I have been in the field of education for 8 years. It is my personal belief that all students can achieve the goals they set for themselves with the proper support, guidance, and encouragement. I am dedicated to helping students realize their inner strengths and how to apply those strengths to excel in any subject.

...on multiple STEM based topics but specialize in reading/language arts. On a similar note, I can help with English, reading comprehension, and essay writing at all levels as well as elementary topics. My personal favorite is writing, as in my spare time I focus on my creative writing hobby and reading. Just remember that the best teacher is yourself, I am here to guide you along your journey but only you can be successful.

...other tutors as a tutor/team lead for the online math placement test tutoring program on campus. I worked in online, in-person, and hybrid settings for about 4 years while completing my degree at Northern Arizona University. When I graduated from college I took what I learned in my various roles at NAU as a mathematics tutor, and applied that knowledge to the classroom. I worked at American Leadership Academy for 4 years. While there, I...

...when I teach, I like to do the same, taking material from textbooks, power points, silly videos, or even TV shows to further understanding. I also believe that teaching a concept really helps the learning process. I encourage my students, once they have mastered a topic, to try to teach or explain it to someone else. Being able to do this really means you fully understand. When I am not tutoring, I like to go...
