Brenda

Biology Tutor • +5 Subjects

I hold a B.S. in Biology from Creighton University (Omaha, NE) and a Ph.D. in Genetics from Indiana University Bloomington. I recently retired from a 25 year career in teaching college biology where I taught human biology for non-majors, introductory biology for majors, cell biology, genetics and biotechnology. I have experience in principles of active learning in which students construct their own knowledge through a variety of activities including concept maps, problem sets, and drawings. I love it when I see a student go from a look of uncertainty to clear understanding! I am looking forward to the opportunity to help high school or college students learn and apply concepts in biology and genetics!

Abigail

Algebra Tutor • +38 Subjects

I am a PhD student studying marine biology at Stony Brook University, where I study how plankton (very small animals in the ocean) move around and catch food. Before coming to graduate school, I did my undergraduate degree in Biology at Tufts University in Medford/Somerville, MA. My hobbies include knitting, running, and, of course, reading!Another one of my long-term interests is education. I worked with preschoolers for a full year in college through an AmeriCorps literacy program in low-income preschools. Later, I worked as a teaching assistant for five semesters (three as an undergraduate, and two as a graduate student), teaching biology, chemistry, and environmental science. Most recently, I worked at a local tutoring center with students ages 7-16, tutoring reading/writing, English, and math. I have also worked with several high school and undergraduate student research volunteers in the lab.My favorite subjects are math and science, but I also love reading, writing, and French! I spent five months living in France during my undergraduate degree, and I speak near-fluent French. I love working with kids and young adults, and I'd be happy to work with you to develop study strategies and learn new things!

Thomas

1st Grade Tutor • +58 Subjects

My reason for wanting to teach is purely to help change lives of students who are willing to learn and excel. I feel I can be in the best position to help students out by being a tutor for Varsity Tutors. My education from attaining a Masters in Biomedical Sciences and currently studying in a doctoral program to attain my Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree qualifies me to have the ability to help these students excel in their subjects. Working in the past with students on their dental admissions test (DAT) and other teaching assistant jobs, I feel I can make a difference. My strengths are in the biomedical sciences field. I am confident to teach basic math and also mentor and teach students who want to attain a better score on the DAT.I have worked with children since high school. I have volunteered at multiple clinics and camps where I was exposed to children and taught how to mentor them.I feel I can be a great tutor and role model for these future students who are willing to learn and work towards their goals.

By focusing on students' incremental accomplishments, I empower them to attain more ambitious objectives. I have successfully tutored students in both virtual and in-person environments. Through my partnership with Varsity Tutors, I have expanded my expertise to encompass PRAXIS, OAE, GED, and various math and science-based subjects, catering to students across diverse age groups. As a graduate of Ohio University, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Education with a specialization in Integrated Science Education. I furthered my education at Concordia University, obtaining a Master of Education with a major in Curriculum and Instruction and a minor in STEAM. Throughout my teaching career, I have witnessed students' growth and success, which remains my greatest passion.

I am a dedicated and friendly educator, with a Bachelors in Journalism and Masters in Education. I have more than 15 years in education with a focus in math, from a tutor to a teacher to a teacher specialist. While I am generalist certified to tutor all subjects, I am very passionate about math especially, middle school math. I also love journalism and entrepreneurship.

I believe, "That the best teachers teach from the heart, not from a book.!"

Connell

AP Physics 1 Tutor • +41 Subjects

I am a 2015 graduate of the University of Virginia, where I received my Bachelor's of Science degree in biochemistry and a minor in biology. I graduated a member of Phi Beta Kappa. While in college, I was on a pre-medicine track, and I am currently applying to various MD programs around the country. As of now I am living in Richmond, VA, where I also work as a medical scribe.In the past I held a series of paid and unpaid teaching positions for science classes, where I realized I had a talent and passion for helping students succeed in their classes. These positions include one-on-one tutoring sessions, being a teaching assistant for lecture classes, and aiding other teaching assistants in lab classes. Through these experiences I became proficient in many different teaching styles, allowing me to cater to a variety of different types of students.My approach to tutoring is to provide high quality education using an interactive teaching plan. My goal is to create an active learning experience where I first guide students through difficult concepts and then reinforce these concepts through problem solving. I usually start with a problem that requires knowledge of the subject, and lead the student through it. Over time, as the student becomes more familiar with the concept enough to solve problems him-/herself, I can remove myself from the equation. My hope is that through me my students can develop good studying habits and a passion for learning and the sciences.

Elizabeth

Beginner Spanish (Grades 2-3) Tutor • +21 Subjects

As an educator for the past 40 years, I believe that education is the key to success and a high quality of life. Regardless of your race, ethnicity and economic status, obtaining a high- quality education will provide opportunities to improve your life. One of the most important elements in obtaining a good educational foundation, is the development of reading, writing and communication skills early on. Literacy is key across all the academic subjects. That is why I am passionate about helping young students develop their literacy competencies in English as well as in Spanish. I have taught for 35 years in the NYC public school system. During that time, I taught reading and Spanish as a second language to students in grades K-12. For the past 5 years, I have tutored students in reading/writing to prepare them for the standardized test, and in Spanish for second language enrichment. I have also tutored high school students on the SAT ELA test component. It has been very rewarding for me to see my students succeed in attaining their academic goals through the tutoring strategies they learn from my tutoring lessons.

I love tutoring and helping students! I believe everyone is capable of learning with the right type of instruction. I have had my fair share of disappointments, but with the right kind of help, I have overcome many struggles.I believe learning doesn't happen in a day.
