...have a laid-back tutoring style, but I make sure to present the content in the most simplified way I can to ensure students understand the material through guided practice. I have been tutoring with Varsity Tutors for over three years now, and I previously served as the course tutor for several of Pepperdine's upper-division economics courses. In my spare time, I love to watch movies and tv shows, exercise, and spend time with my dogs.

...University. I hold certifications in International Business, French Studies, and French for Business. I am most adept at working with middle and high school students because I teach these grades on a day to day basis at a college preparatory high school. However, I am comfortable tutoring all ages. French is my #1 passion, but having studied English Literature and Composition as my minor and achieving a second degree in Psychology, I enjoy helping students...

...to teach a wide variety of subjects and have experience working with students of all ages from middle school to middle aged.

If you are a gifted artist struggling with Math, or an aspiring...

...younger competitors on their rhetorical speaking and critical thinking skills to increase tournament success. While I have experience tutoring a broad range of topics, I specialize in AP Physics (1, C Mechanics, Electricity/Magnetism), AP Computer Science A, AP Calculus AB/BC, and SAT Math. As a tutor, my goal is to instill within students the skills to achieve success on their own. Rather than providing students with "templates" on how to solve individual problems, I emphasize...

...classmates and students of different grade levels in many subjects. However, I am particularly passionate about Chemistry, Biology, and Math as I find the interdisciplinary nature of these subjects fascinating. I like to help students explore connections between different concepts in order to understand the bigger picture, but at the same time, I also like to provide students with problem-solving strategies and tips on how to make sense of smaller details. Additionally, understanding applications of...

As a second-language learner myself, I understand the struggles one may encounter when trying to memorize vocabulary or understand new grammar structures.

...wind ensemble, concert band, advanced choir, concert choir, solo and ensemble, school musicals and cross country. The reason why I was so involved was because the teachers were outstanding. They captured my attention and allowed me to really enjoy what I was doing while learning. I decided that I wanted to be a teacher because of them! When I graduated from high school, I went to Westminster College in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania. It is a...

...understand new concepts in easy-to-understand ways. There's nothing more rewarding than being able to see a new concept 'click'. Throughout my high school and college careers, I've always been "the tutor" to those close to me. Whether it's family, friends, or classmates, I have always been the one to go to for help in anything regarding math or science. This has generally taken the format of a one-on-one lesson, whether in person or over Zoom....

...the sciences and math are my favorites. I genuinely love the sciences, especially Biology, and I think that this passion and enthusiasm make a real difference while tutoring. I began causally tutoring family friends in high school, and over the years I've worked with students of varied backgrounds -- from those re-taking failed classes to those applying to (and being accepted at) the best universities. I'm proud to say that I've helped all my students...

...opened to them. I taught adult illiterates as a volunteer for a number of years and the excitement and feeling of success they had was so encouraging for me. Tutoring allows me to have the personal satisfaction of a one to one relationship with a learner. Hearing a student 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...

...had the opportunity to work with students ranging from preschool to adult. I enjoyed traveling to many of Japan's beautiful cities and neighboring countries while learning about the language and culture. Although I have enjoyed my experience in the classroom immensely, I primarily enjoy working with students on a one-on-one basis. This gives me the opportunity to get to know them as individuals and really keep track of their progress. I view tutoring as more...

Being a university student myself, I know more than others about the occasional tough classes that every student comes by. The classes I have signed up to tutor in are classes that I have taken both the Advanced Placement classes as well as the college version as well, so I know a thing or two about what you should really know. I'll make sure you receive tutoring that is effective and tutoring that is efficient!

...special needs. I particularly enjoy tutoring mathematics, biology, and helping students prepare for standardized tests. I can also tutor in writing and reading, since I have experience as a professional copy editor. My focus when tutoring is student understanding.

When helping students prepare for standardized tests I focus on taking practice exams and working with students on the areas...

I love math and the only reason I do is because I had great math teachers through middle school and high school. I want to give other students similar experiences to what I had.

I have several siblings in high school that I also tutor in math. I have also tutored adult English language learners from Sudan and elementary English language...

...and sought to improve their writing skills. I believe strongly that everyone has the talent needed to write and express themselves but that they need to learn how to structure and organize their writing so that their ideas can flow. For standardized testing I believe the most important factor in success is becoming comfortable with the test itself; learning the common ways the test makers misdirect a student’s attention and how to properly break down...

...elected city council member (3 terms), Board President of the YMCA, and twice President of my local Rotary club. I have discovered a passion for mentoring and teaching, as it connects me with a younger generation. My greatest tutoring success story is my daughter, who just graduated from Columbia University with honors and is headed to law school. I am also a student and am completing my doctoral dissertation in pursuit of an EdD in...

...relate to my students on a personal basis. I took the same classes they are taking several years ago, so I can explain the material in a way that is practical and simple to follow. I teach many different subjects, including (but not limited to) Spanish, English, Math, SAT prep, and most high school classes through the AP level. My favorite subject to teach is Spanish, because I myself started taking it in high school...

Though I tutor a variety of humanities-based subjects, I am most passionate about the SAT, English (both grammar and literature), the PSAT, essay writing, and Public Speaking.

I did Speech and Debate for seven years, and was...
