As a special education teacher in middle schools for the past 4 years, I love helping students overcome struggles and improve in their learning. My favorite subjects to tutor are Math and Writing. My college degree is in Psychology from the University of North Texas, and since then I have also received my teaching certification.

I am a graduate of the University of Central Florida, in which I received both my Bachelor of Science in English Education and my Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction. I have twenty-eight years of experience, both in and out of the classroom. I have tutored for test preparation and have assisted in preparing first-generation students to obtain entrance into top-tier colleges and universities. While I can tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and History. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, I am most talented in prepping for the Critical Reading portions of the exams. I myself am a first-generation college attendee and I love helping others find their academic place in society. In my spare time, I love to travel, read, and express myself in artistic exploration.

I started tutoring when I was in high school, myself, where I volunteered as a "Big Brother", helping incoming freshmen adapt themselves to the more rigorous environment of St. Paul's. While an undergraduate at Columbia University, I taught SAT prep courses. I will be going to law school in the fall, and until then I am continuing my passion for teaching with Varsity Tutors!My tutoring style has always been to fit the lesson to the student. Whether you're studying for chemistry test or analyzing a work of literature, prepping for the SAT or the LSAT, I make sure to focus on your goals and how to reach them. I also aim to help my students really improve the knowledge of their subject along with their writing, reading, and analytic skills--not just get past the next exam.

I am a proud graduate of the University of St. Thomas. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English with a concentration in Literature, as well as a minor in medieval studies. I have an extensive history of teaching and tutoring, beginning in high school when I worked for three years as a tour guide for elementary school classes. While working towards my undergraduate degree, I worked as a private English tutor, and was later recommended to and hired by my university's tutorial center. I have worked with elementary aged children, middle-schoolers, high schoolers, undergraduates, and graduate students. While I am comfortable tutoring any subject under the large umbrella of "English" (ex: reading comprehension, grammar, etc) I am most passionate about helping students comprehend difficult literature and write excellent essays! My students oftentimes come to sessions stressed and anxious about their assignments, but then leave with peace of mind and confidence. I am a firm believer that encouragement and positive reinforcement inspire academic success, and nothing makes me happier than seeing my students use the tools I give them to tackle difficult assignments with enthusiasm.

After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Colby College in 2007 with a degree in French Language and International Relations, I jumped on a plane to Uganda in pursuit of a less conventional office. In the years since I have lived, worked, traveled and taught on rivers and in classrooms around world.As a teacher at New River Academy from 2010-11 and World Class Academy from 2011-14 I introduced students to the world of English Literature inside the classroom and mentored them through challenges and intricacies of living and traveling with a small group abroad, encouraging them to find ways to pursue their passions. My time with NRA and WCA furthered my belief in the value of experiential learning, and my view that education should be holistic and foster creative thinking. It is one of the reasons I am most enjoy tutoring, as it provides the ability to work one on one and to shape education to the needs and interests of the student.While I tutor a broad range of subjects, from Spanish to test prep, it is literature and writing that I am most passionate about as I feel they provide individuals the opportunity to connect with the world around them and give shape and voice to their experiences and opinions.Outside of education, I pursue whitewater kayaking competitively, and was a member of the US freestyle team this past year. When not tutoring or in a kayak, I can usually be found outside, running, surfing, hoola-hooping, doing yoga, or reading in a hammock.

She is an enthusiastic educator from Massachusetts. She graduated from Smith College in 2009. Since then, She has worked in a variety of positions ranging from teaching photography to high-risk youth, to developing technology workshops for blind and deaf customers at Apple, to working for higher education institutions, such as Harvard University. This summer she moved from Los Angeles back to the Boston area to pursue her Master's in Technology, Innovation, and Education at Harvard University. In addition to her experience with traditional subjects, she teaches yoga and has a passion for integrating technology into learning environments.

I strive to create a learning environment where students know they are safe, understood, and valued. Each child's needs are unique, so education should be approached in a way that cultivates individual's minds. I believe in putting students first and motivating them to take charge of their own learning, so they can take pride in their milestones and goals.

I attended the University of Washington where I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of the Arts in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics with minors in both Human Rights and Asian Studies. I then continued my studies at the Seattle University School of Law where I received my Juris Doctorate. While attending college, I was fortunate to be chosen to work in two different tutoring centers. The skills I learned there really expanded my abilities to tailor sessions to the students learning style and abilities. I tend to rely on humor in my tutoring, combined with positive reinforcement. Sometimes it just takes finding the right way to explain something for it to click, so why not laugh along the way? I tutor multiple subjects, but my favorites are economics and writing. Economics is the fundamental building block of all major societies, so understanding it allows you to understand the world. Writing, because it allows us to organize our thoughts and share them with people we have never met even those who are yet to be born.I am a Seattle native, and I spent eight years in the Navy. This gave me the opportunity to see quite a bit of the United States and some of the world. In my free time I enjoy volunteering, cooking, trail running, hiking, bicycling, cross country skiing, and scuba diving.

Seeking a reading fluency, reading comprehension or writing tutor?I graduated Magna Cum Laude with an MA in English-Technical & Professional Communication from East Carolina University and Cum Laude with a BA in Writing from ORU.-My favorite subjects to tutor are: reading (phonics and fluency), reading comprehension and writing, in which I hold certifications.-I enjoy creating personalized, engaging tutoring plans to help students with their learning goals.- Along with explicit instruction, tutor-led gradual release, and guided independent practice, students have scored 93 on the MAPS assessment, improved grades, and increased 30-40 points on reading fluency assessments.

Who am I? I am a dedicated and competent instructor, and a professional visual and performing artist. I am fluent in English, Spanish, and French, and have a dual Master's Degree in International Relations (modern languages focus) and Music (ethnomusicology focus), as well as a certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language Certificate.Through great insistence, people all too often convince themselves that they are poor at learning languages or other skill areas. In my experience, this is rarely the case and is the product of prior weak teaching and a failure to instill confidence in the student, resulting in a skewed self-perception that has little to do with reality. An experienced student of languages and other subjects myself, I can help you develop the foundational skills in any of my competencies, guaranteeing results through a method that draws upon not only upon a solid knowledge base, but also a refined way of re-thinking the subject or language. This rethinking of subject matter, regardless of the topic at hand, combines traditional techniques with a rational yet intuitive and comparative method, melding them into a multi-sensory approach to learning. I believe that true learning necessarily involves the entire mind and body, and being more true to the way an individual would acquire a information in an immersion or natural setting. Through these means recall is ultimately made stronger and more intuitive. I am comfortable working with all ages, child through adult, and with all experience levels.Teaching at an intensive English language program for two years, I have worked with individuals from all backgrounds. I have provided instruction from very basic levels through to highly proficient and advanced levels in speaking, grammar, writing , reading, and listening. I have also helped students with their professional preparedness and job readiness training, and how frequently served as a proofreader for pre-publication manuscripts.Sobre Ensenanza del Ingles:Habiendo enseado penor dos aos en programas de Ingles Intensivos asociados con una universidad, he trabajado con personas de todos tipos de nivel y formacion en Ingles, y de muchas culturas.
