I graduated with my bachelor's degree in special education. I have been an intervention specialist for one year. I have a year of subbing experience. I love to help students with their academies and see them grow. I am currently working towards my master's degree in 7-12 grade mathematics so that I can teach mathematics. I have experience with grades K-12, a lot of experience with students with disabilities, particularly autism. I am a very patient, outgoing, and fun person who want to help your child in math or reading!

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Economics from New York University. In addition to studying economics, I took a "pre-medical" course of study, which included several science classes each year. While I was in college, I tutored students ranging from 10 to 18 years of age in reading, writing, math, and science. Additionally, I helped students prepare for standardized exams, such as the PSAT and SAT, with solid improvements in scores. I believe this experience with a diverse mix of students has sharpened my skills as a tutor, particularly in the arena of creating interesting and clear examples through which different students can understand complex material. Although I tutor a wide variety of subjects, I most enjoy tutoring elementary and high school level math because I can be creative in designing examples. I truly enjoy teaching; there is a great satisfaction in helping students comprehend new information. Since graduating from college I have been working as an Emergency Medical Technician and I have been taking some graduate level biology classes. In my spare time, I enjoy playing basketball, reading about astronomy, and watching stand-up comedy.

I graduated from University of Central Florida with my bachelor's in elementary education K-6 as well with my reading endorsement from K-12. Since then I have been a 7th grade teacher at a middle school. I have experience in tutoring Students of all ages. My Passion It's to expand the student's minds by Having them think outside the Box and using their creativity and knowledge to continue to grow.

Pleased to meet you and looking forward to assisting in your journey in academic success in English.

My hours of availability will be greatly increased come June 16th, but I am available in the afternoons (especially online) during the remainder of the school year.

I graduated from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville with a Bachelor's of Science in Community Health Education and a minor in Psychology. I am currently pursuing my Occupational Therapy doctoral degree at Washington University in St. Louis. I previously tutored English during my senior year of high school and informally assisted with test preparation. I feel comfortable tutoring GRE, ACT and ISEE test preparation, as well as Chemistry and World History. My favorite subject to tutor is standardized test preparation because I find it rewarding to see someone's score improve. I prefer an interactive teaching style because I want the student to have input on their learning style and preferences. My hobbies include yoga, reading, going to the movies, spending time with family and friends and playing with my dog.

I am a recent graduate from the University of Central Florida. Having completed my dual degree path, I earned my Bachelor's in History and my Bachelor's in Latin American Studies. I have personally felt the positive impact of interactive online learning, both as a student and a tutor. The difference flexible online learning makes in the students life continues to motivate my top priority, which is to create a personal and enjoyable learning experience for each and every student I teach. I am most passionate about History and English subjects. These subjects can come off as "repetitive" or "boring", and that is why I am most excited about helping students have a memorable and fun experience while also learning. Regardless of subject, I am here to make a memorable and positive impact on a student's education! I look forward to meeting with you soon.

For over twelve years, I've taught students from around the world with a wide variety of talents and learning needs. Helping students learn new skills to master challenging content brings me so much joy. Throughout my career, I've been continually inspired by students' resilience and capacity for growth. I see myself as a guide to remind students of their own incredible potential.Here's a little bit about MY EXPERIENCE. My first big job was teaching creative writing to students ages 15-22 who were experiencing homelessness. I showed them different ways to tell their stories, how to research, make art, and how to publish online and in print. I then became an instructional assistant working with students in Middle and High School classrooms where I facilitated one-on-one and small group learning sessions in English, History, Spanish, and more. Next, I taught English to adults ages 18-80 in a job readiness program. Then, I taught Honors English, Language Arts and World History for English Language Learners at two wonderful high schools. My last teaching job went full circle: teaching creative writing to students at a detention center and at a mental health treatment center. I'm excited to teach with Varsity Tutors, because my main job is as a stay-at-home dad to my son with special needs.MY EDUCATION aided me greatly in all of these positions. I graduated at the top of my class with my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Creative Writing from Seattle Pacific University (SPU). I then returned to SPU to obtain my Master's degree in Teaching. Though skilled in multiple subjects, I am currently endorsed to teach English Language Arts and English Language Learners in Washington State.Though I tutor in many different subjects including Reading, Psychology, World History, Test Prep, MY FAVORITE SUBJECT to tutor is everything and anything related to English, including Reading and Writing! One of my favorite authors is Cormac McCarthy. My favorite quote by him is "Of the telling, there is no end." I think people have a natural need to tell (and re-tell) their stories and their perspectives and I am passionate about helping them to convey their stories effectively. I'm also devoted to helping students learn how to read and listen to others' stories so that they can realize they aren't alone. In fact, we are in an international, multi-generational community of storytellers. And yes, I'm in this community too! I'm proud to have published 60 pieces of poetry, short stories, movie and book reviews, author interviews, and literary essays online and in print.MY TUTORING APPROACH is student-centered, skills-based, and defined by connectivity. Let's start with that last one! Throughout a tutoring session, it's helpful to connect with students about what they care about, what they love, and even what bothers them and why! These kernels of connection can grow into motivators implicitly and explicitly throughout the lesson. Following this student-centered theme, my approach is defined by student need, determined both by what you the student say you need, but also on things I notice during our lessons. Finally, I believe an educator's best aim should be to teach students how to teach themselves! Whatever subject I'm working in, I endeavor to teach students skills that will aid in their mastery of disciplines throughout their lives.So why not get started? Book a lesson with me today!

I am a graduate of Arizona State University where I received my Bachelor degree in Theater Arts. My original focus was to help struggling young students by integrating theater play into everyday subjects. I was inspired to go back to school in Flagstaff, Arizona where I earned my Master's degree in Education. Since then I have taught classes for kindergarten through high school working in both Colorado and Arizona schools. I find that engaging with students in either small groups or one to one is where I do my best teaching. I take my job as an educator seriously. I feel that education should be available to everyone who wants to learn more. It is a valuable experience for all people to gain any knowledge in order to make positive gains in self-efficacy, self-esteem, and overall well-being. In my off time I enjoy hiking, taking photographs of nature, reading, writing creative stories, and brushing up on my acting skills.

I am a graduate from Appalachian State University with a Bachelors in Elementary Education and a concentration in science. I am also a Masters degree candidate in reading education with a certificate in teaching emergent bilinguals. I've been tutoring an emergent bilingual student for several months and I hope to continue more students of different backgrounds. While I am well prepared to tutor any subject, I am most passionate to teach math since I've always liked solving for word problems and working with numbers. In my spare of time I enjoy hiking, and spending time with my family. I enjoy helping students, especially those who struggle in a subject and want more guidance because this allows a more one on time with students in the areas they might be falling behind and it gives us an opportunity to guide and help that student achieve their goal.

I am a graduate of St. Edward's University; I received my Bachelor of Arts in Communication and my Masters of Arts in Human Service/Public Administration. Following graduation, I joined Austin Community College as an adult education instructor for GED and ESL students. In addition to adult students, I also provide tutoring to children and teens needing the necessary fundamentals for academic progress, or those seeking to proactively increase their understanding of a particular subject. Although I teach the four core subjects in the classroom, I primarily tutor in the areas of Math and Reading Language Arts. I especially enjoy teaching Math because I deliver the subject content in a manner that students are frequently amazed at their ability to grasp what they previously believed to be difficult mathematical concepts. I have also effectively assisted students prepare for standardized exams, whether state mandated grade-level tests, or college-level entrance exams. My teaching style is a combination of coaching and cheer leading. Like a coach, I have high expectations for my students because I prepare them using best practice subject content drills and exercises; and like a cheerleader, I excitedly celebrate every progressive effort towards their academic goal. Students - young and old - respond to my style because they want to successfully conquer their academic challenges themselves. I have lived in several countries, and have traveled to a few others; thus, I have a genuine appreciation for diverse cultures and customs. In my spare time, I enjoy tennis, swimming, and relaxing in the tranquil surroundings of my park-like backyard.
