As an internationally published author and unabashed word geek, I truly understand and appreciate the power of writing and how it can change lives. I believe that those who have a strong command of language, both written and verbal, make more money and lead happier lives. I love language because it is the glue of a culture; without good communication there is a breakdown in understanding and progress. I bring a fresh, fun approach to tutoring. As a Random House novelist, I spend many hours in schools, teaching dialogue, sentence structure, and grammar. I teach with a firm hand but also a child-like sense of humor (My wife says I am still 12 years old). When it comes to English, I'm comfortable teaching both the forest and the trees: broader things such as the structure of essays and short stories, and smaller details like conjunctions and semi-colons. I can also help you decipher the mysteries of a challenging novel because I write novels for a living. Born into a five-generation newspaper-publishing family, I earned my BA in English and Journalism at the University of Nebraska and spent the next several years working as a reporter at various newspapers across the country. When our daughter was born I decided to stay home, raise her, and write fiction. I love National Public Radio, trucks, museums, bird-watching, hiking, and the New York Times crossword puzzle. Perhaps the best proof of my tutoring abilities can be found in our daughter's perfect SAT scores, both in the verbal and writing sections. She also earned a 100-percent grade on her International Baccalaureate extended essay. It is impossible to get into a good school without sound writing skills. Let me help you build them.

Hello! My name is Ryan. I was born and raised in Casper, Wyoming, but I have been all around the country and world since then. I studied economics and international business at Gonzaga University in Washington state, interned in South Africa and Washington D.C., was a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic, and won a Fulbright grant to go to Mexico. I am about to begin an MBA program at Vanderbilt University.I recognize how fortunate I've been to have these opportunities, but I also know that they exist for anyone dedicated enough to pursue them. I am passionate in helping spark the inspiration to do something amazing and help cultivate it.I am fluent in Spanish (and extremely familiar with all of the various colloquialisms that exist in various countries), extremely passionate about history and Latin American culture, and well-versed in economics and business.

My goal is to have the student walk away from each lesson with something new! I want you to reach your personal goals as soon as possible so you can enjoy playing music the way that you've always wanted.I have played music for my entire life and come from a long line of professional musicians starting with my grandfather, who played with the legendary Rat Pack in Vegas. Music is my full-time job and I enjoy performing and songwriting every single day of my life! Sharing this experience is truly a blessing for me

I have been working as a project manager for almost 20 years. I have been teaching PMP Certification and Project Management since 2013.

I am a long time Metro Nashville Public Schools teacher (in my 11th year). I currently teach second grade. My favorite subject to teach and tutor would be reading. I myself love to read and continue to be a life long learner. Showing students reading does not always have to be so painful brings light back into their life. My undergraduate B.S. degree is from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville-GO VOLS! and my masters degree is from Trevecca Nazarene University concentrating in educational leadership. I have served as an instructional coach helping the teachers in my building better serve our students and allow them to reach their goals. I have always known I would be a teacher. I can remember to this day playing "school" with my friends and an old discarded teacher's manual. My goal one day is to be in educational administration.When not tutoring or educating, I love to be at the water-beach or lake. In the fall when the weather is cooler, I enjoy watching college football, Predators hockey, and the sights and smells of Autumn. If I am not with a student in a classroom or at their home, you can usually find me volunteering with the Nashville Humane Association. Dogs are my second love!I am excited to help your child/student and watch them grow and change!

I am a senior at Vanderbilt University, studying Cognitive Studies and Business. I am working towards becoming a therapist and I love working with students especially through academic struggles. I used Varsity Tutors throughout high school myself and it made a significant difference to my SAT score. From that experience, I am inspired to help other students reach their academic goals, just like I reached mine! I specialize in SAT prep, AP Literature and AP Language, elementary to college level Mandarin.

Hi I'm Sarah. I am a Motivated, hardworking, and enthusiastic educator with experience working with children and adolescents in diverse settings. Inspired by the charisma and joy seen in the future generation, I have successfully developed students' knowledge through unique presentations, enjoyable activities, and deep thinking prompts.

My name is Heather, and I am a recent graduate of Vanderbilt University where I received a BS in Human and Organizational Development. I also minored in Quantitative Methods and have a passion for statistics. I have spent time living in France and England and love to travel. My time abroad has cultivated a love of language and writing and how to use academic tools in order to create opportunities in life beyond the classroom. I am excited about helping students achieve their academic and personal goals.

I have a curious heart and a passion for learning. I enjoy language, grammar and etymology, exploring the world, history and consciousness, and reading adventures, biographies and poetry. Harry Potter is my favorite, especially Prisoner of Azkaban and Half Blood Prince. I went to EE Waddell HS in Charlotte, NC, where I took 5 AP courses and 4 courses at the local community college. I participated in just about every extra curricular available, including National Honor Society (President), yearbook, volleyball, and I held down a part time job at a coffee shop. I graduated with a 4.25 GPA and went on to obtain my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and French after four years at UNC-Wilmington. I had the pleasure of spending one spring semester in Paris with ma mre d'accueil, Catherine and left dreaming of French phrases and traveling the world. I was also involved in Pi Delta Phi (French Honor Society) and UNCW's Yoga Club (VP); I loved being busy and organized through all my adventures. I also teach yoga and pranayama, or breath awareness, which is always helpful during test time!
