I was born Tehran, Iran and moved to the US in 2009 to continue my education in environmental engineering. As a child, I was always interested in science and engineering. A great teacher in high school sparked my interest to study chemistry. During college years studying chemistry, my awareness about the environment grew until I decided to continue my education in environmental engineering. Being in school for a long time, I had many teachers that taught me not only science and math but also how to live and be a better person. I have learned from my teachers that patience and persistent are keys to success.

Nice to meet you! My name is Sarah and I am an OTR/L with my Master's in Occupational Therapy. I have a passion for teaching students, as well as providing mentorship to assist in achieving practical application of occupational therapy principles, and of course, to help students pass the NBCOT.To follow my passion of teaching even more, I started social media platforms to provide NBCOT prep as well as teaching students about inpatient and acute settings, in addition to occupational therapy in pediatrics.I received my Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology from George Mason University and my Master's degree from the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia.Currently, I tutor in occupational therapy and NBCOT prep mainly, but also tutor in kinesiology and anatomy and physiology.Occupational therapy/NBCOT prep are my favorite subjects to tutor in!My teaching philosophy and style is flexible in that my goal is to create a space that is individualized to the student and to accommodate their learning style. I believe that incorporating and structuring the learning environment around the learning style of the student is the best way to promote optimal conditions of learning and studying.In my spare time, I love to hike with my husband and dog, play volleyball, read, and shop!

A current Ph.D. candidate at the University of Arkansas, I have made educating myself and assisting other in their educations my personal and professional life. I have worked in education for over ten years. I received my MA in English and lit studies in 2016 from Texas A&M San Antonio. After becoming a funded PhD student in the field of cultural studies (an interdisciplinary area of study that looks at aspects of national culture with a focus on cultural productioni.e., literature, film/television, theater, etc.with a focus on the sociological impact), I worked for the Department of English at the University of Arkansas. I have served as the instructor or record for five consecutive years in many college level writing and literature courses. I have extensive experience in the development of language arts teaching materials and assessment tools to track student progression. I have worked as both a lead researcher and a graduate level research assistant for multiple articles in various academic publications.In addition to my experience in front of a class, I have worked in several college level writing labs (UTSA's Judith A. Gardner Center for Writing Excellence and the Univ. of Arkansas's Center for Learning and Student Success (CLASS+))honing my skills as a one-on-one educator. While working for CLASS+, I assisted in the research and construction of a lexiconic database of concepts and terms as an electronic student resource for use across academic disciplines. Throughout my career, I have acted as a direct resource and a content developer with student growth and success as my driving focus. Working in classrooms and writing labs for both UTSA and the University of Arkansas, I have developed various approaches to effective and flexible instruction. I love researching, writing, and teaching and my passion is reflected in my continued dedication to the crafts of composition/rhetoric and pedagogy/educating. I look forward to assisting you or your student succeed in every aspect of the language arts.

I am a native speaker of Mandarin Chinese. I was born and raised in Taiwan, went to grad school at NYU for Foreign Language Education: Chinese and TESOL. I am a certified TESOL and Mandarin teacher in New York and am currently a middle school Mandarin teacher in Connecticut. I have many experiences in tutoring TESOL when I was back in Taiwan. I speak fluent English and beginner level of Korean.I believe in learning while having fun. While tutoring can be more teacher centered compared to a class environment, I try to incorporate different activities and practices so that YOU are the one learning and using the language. I also believe in learning from mistakes and risk taking. I create a safe environment so that you feel comfortable using the language even when you are unsure. I am friendly, fun, and encouraging. I speak both English and Mandarin fluently, so I can do full immersion if you'd like to, or more English if that's how you learn better. In short, I give customized classes. Let me know how you learn the best, that's how our class will be.

Hi! I'm Conrad, a Math major at the University of Utah. As a tutor, my primary purpose is to encourage growth, improvement, and learning for my students in a safe and respectful environment.

I am a Health Sciences and Biology double major at Northeastern University, graduating in just one year. I have worked in part-time biology research lab for three years, as well as full-time in a hospital in Boston for over a year now, in both clinical and research settings.My tutoring experience started a few years ago when I taught a nutrition class to children in their early teens, teaching them the basics of nutrition, such as picking healthy ingredients and avoiding processed foods. Since then, I have been a part-time tutor, and I look forward to meeting lots of new students through Varsity Tutors!As a current college student, I have taken many of the classes I tutor very recently, and am still actively involved in learning, especially in science classes. When I am tutoring for a course, I like to teach the students the way I would have liked to be taught, and I try to teach things that help them remember the material more easily, and connect the dots to understand the big picture.

I have been in education for twenty three years and I am very passionate about educating students. I personally have eight children and they are all very different, especially when it concerns academics. Two of my children struggled in math, spelling and reading so I spent a lot of time developing various techniques to help them learn through the rough patches. It is this same drive and creativity that I bring when I'm teaching. Patience, understanding, and a deep understanding of the content is why my students are successful. I am confident that my way of teaching with pictures and various other visual aids is the key to my success.

When I began college, I remember struggling with tests and with time management. Being a premedical student from the very beginning meant that I was forced to learn very quickly how to overcome these challenges. My attempts to become a successful student were filled with perseverance, which became the theme of my professional endeavors. After working extremely hard to be accepted into my top choice medical school at Duke University, I again found myself in a situation where I felt under prepared and lost. Through much work and research about study skills, proper test preparation, and test taking strategies, I eventually have reached a level where I am comfortable assessing my own test readiness and how to best strengthen my academic weaknesses. I believe that through my own personal experiences, I have become a stronger life-long learner and I plan to use these skills throughout my career as I plan to stay in academic medicine to further the field of medical education.

Hello! I am a rising junior at Duke University. I hail from Cleveland, Ohio (Go Cavs!), and I'm currently studying medical sociology, with the intent of going to medical school.With the stress of AP's and SAT/ACT still fresh in my mind and a younger brother currently going through it, I believe the best use of my knowledge and experience is to recycle it for others' benefit. I want my knowledge of these tests to be useful to someone beyond myself, because I dedicated a lot of time and effort in understanding these tests, and it's a shame to not use it more. I believe enrolling in Varsity Tutors will give me access to motivated students for whom I can actually make a difference, and help them fulfill their potential so that they can achieve their goals. By centering my tutoring philosophy around the student rather than the material, I'm highly optimistic that I can design a tutoring style in collaboration with my student to achieve the best results.Outside of tutoring, I'm currently working in Chicago as an intern for the Chinese Mutual Aid Association, and I'm training for a half-marathon as well.

I am a 7th grade English/Language Arts teacher at Gary Comer College Prep Middle School in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood of Chicago, IL. I have also taught math in self-contained and remedial setting.I really love to help students find their voice in writing. I found that for me, as soon as I began to write about things I was passionate about on an individual level, I was able to unlock a lot of creativity. If students write about what they know, rather than what they think someone would like to hear, they often become much more authentic writers.I love to watch football with my roommate and friends (Go Texans!) and have started getting into basketball since I moved to Chicago. I have a beautiful cat named Daisy and I love to swim and be outside!
