I am very outgoing and always happy to help. My favorite subjects to tutor are those that involve mathematics. A solid understanding...

...University of Notre Dame in 2015 with a bachelor's degree in Political Science. After graduation I then completed a Pre-Health Specialized Studies Post Bacc Program at the University of Pennsylvania with plans to ultimately attend medical school. During my time at Notre Dame I spent 2 years tutoring students through College Mentors for Kids. Although I am confident working with all subjects, I am particularly comfortable tutoring in math, reading, physics, and standardized test prep.

...the PSAT. Trust me, it works! Not only did I score 2220 on the SAT, but my PSAT score helped me to become a National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist.

I work around my students' individual needs and learning styles so that hardworking students can achieve the academic success they deserve!

Please reach out to me if you're interesting in SAT/AP, basic...

...for community-building. One day, I was sitting in my local library, studying, and I overheard an elderly teacher mocking and ridiculing her pupil for getting something wrong - that was the only catalyst I needed. The quality I am most proud of in myself is my compassion, and as a teacher I believe that compassion and patience always come first. There is never room at the table for cruelty. Together, let's learn to learn, let's...

...history course. I prefer to discuss the key ideas because I believe that if a student can understand a basic concept that he or she will succeed. I have access to numerous powerpoints and videos that will help my lessons interesting. Imagine Lady Gaga singing about the French Revolution or Taylor Swift with a song about the American Revolution. My concern will only be my student's success but I also make sure to communicate with...

...good fortune to teach at the University of Memphis, Florida A&M University, and Keiser University and one summer tutoring for Lindamood Bell. My investment in student success is a direct outgrowth of my convictions regarding equality and social justice; my undergraduate minor is in psychology and social work. For almost eight years I taught literature and composition at a historically black college and those years were among the most rewarding of my career. I am...

...students to adapt to American academia. I have a strong track record of addressing diversity in my classroom. First, I do my best to provide all instructional materials within Canvas, namely, students who take my classes do not have to purchase expensive textbooks. Second, to help students of different levels to understand course material, I do scaffolding assignments that build on each other. For example, in my "American Presidency" class, throughout the semester I asked...

...graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Meteorology with minors in Computer Science and Mathematics. From kindergarten to my senior year of college, I've always noticed that my teachers made the largest impact on my success in various classes. The most memorable teachers were enthusiastic about what they were teaching and went the extra mile to provide additional help outside of class. When helping other students, I always remember this fact in order to make learning...

...Biblical Studies, especially the Hebrew Bible, and Ancient Near Eastern Mythology. I have a secondary expertise in world religions and the various theological disciplines, as well as in ancient and medieval history. As long as I can remember, teaching, tutoring, and mentoring students was what I have wanted to do with my life, and luckily, teaching and tutoring come relatively naturally to me. Varsity Tutors gives me an opportunity to work with students to help...

...I always look for ways to make analogies to things students feel more comfortable with so it doesn't seem like I'm speaking a foreign language to them. I get a personal sense of satisfaction when someone stops and goes, "oh, I've never thought of it that way before - now it all makes sense." In addition, often times I feel the education system here is misunderstood and students spend too much time memorizing "steps" to...

...also how to manage his/her time effectively in a timed test, how to make correct inferences, and how to determine the main point, which several questions revolve around. My curriculum, which includes tips and strategies, focuses only on what appears on the exam. I will not waste your time/ money with material your child already knows. Writing sections test similar areas and follow certain patterns, and once students recognize the types of errors, their scores...

...and long-standing personal interest I have had in the material, a passion that many students find infectious. I am a firm believer in taking a more hands-off approach to teaching, namely by letting my students work their way through problem areas with ample guidance. The quickest way to learn is by doing, and if I am solving a problem for a student, then they are not absorbing that information as well as they could be...

...their studies. I spent this past summer working with high school students as a resident counselor at Johns Hopkins University. In the fall, I plan on working in classrooms in the Philadelphia area. I have experience across the humanities, and have a particular love for history.
