Alan

ACT Writing Tutor • +9 Subjects

I have a BA in English, Government, and Secondary Education from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. I also have a Master of Arts in Christian Education and Leadership from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY. My plan for the near future is to earn a Doctorate degree in Secondary Education from Union University in Jackson, Tennessee. During the course of my 30 + years of teaching, I have one consistent observation: All students can learn! The challenge and excitement for me over the years is to figure out how my students learn and what motivates them to learn. I enjoy teaching in a classroom setting, but I thoroughly enjoy working one-on-one with students. I am fulfilled as a teacher in many ways such as when I can help one of my 10th graders past a difficult test or assist one of my seniors to perform well enough to get accepted to the college of his or her dreams! My strongest teaching passions are English literature and language. Outside the classroom, I play keyboards in a local band, I lift weights, and ride my Harley Davidson whenever I have opportunity.

Ryan

AP Chemistry Tutor • +13 Subjects

I am a 2011 graduate of James Madison University and 2013 graduate of Pennsylvania State University. I hold both a B.S. and an M.S. in chemistry. I've taught General, Organic, and Advanced Organic Chemistry Laboratory in addition to being a TA for Organic Chemistry lectures. As a Varsity Tutor, I tutor high school chemistry (general, honors, and AP), test prep (Regents, SAT Subject Test in Chemistry, GRE Chemistry), General Chemistry lecture, Organic Chemistry Lecture, and Inorganic Chemistry lecture.My tutoring style is student-centered. I believe it is my job to provide students with the tools to solve chemical problems, not to solve problems for them. The most common problem I've encountered in learning Chemistry is application. An individual can understand Geometry because they can build a fence. You can understand Physics because you can calculate how fast a baseball is thrown. But how do you understand problems on a molecular scale? I've successfully battled this obstacle since I was a sophomore in college and I look forward to continuing to succeed with my students.Outside of being a tutor, I love all things soccer. I have played since high school and keep active with my company's team. I can play any position, but I'm a trained goalkeeper. Additionally, I love watching soccer. I'm an avid Liverpool fan and I am looking forward to the 2014-2015 season!

Natalie

10th Grade Reading Tutor • +72 Subjects

I'm a recent Cornell graduate who is passion about personalized education. I studied English and Film, with a lot of everything else thrown in!As someone who's been stuck in classes that didn't do anything for me, I value the fact that everyone learns differently, and that variety and context, though integral to an engaged learning experience, are often lacking in traditional classrooms. I have remote teaching experience, so I'm looking forward to tutoring a wide variety of students online!

Peter

Graduate Test Prep Tutor • +31 Subjects

As a student myself, I have had great success in coursework and with standardized testing. I have a proven track record of taking that experience and applying it to boost both students' test scores and their true understanding of the material.I have 3 years experience as a classroom teacher in a range of environments, along with 3 years tutoring experience. I have current teaching licenses in both Ohio and Maryland for grades 7-12 mathematics, although I am eager to expand my tutoring horizons! I have helped students succeed in math from Algebra 1 through Calculus, though I would be ready and willing to work on subjects from pre-algebra through Calculus 3 (and a bit beyond). I have also helped students preparing for the SAT, ACT, LSAT, and other standardized tests, and have tutored in chemistry and physics as well. I have worked successfully with dozens of students both in person and online.

Michelle

Elementary School Tutor • +12 Subjects

For 22+ years, I have taught most levels of elementary school and one year at UNCC as the teacher in residence for the Math Department. I am on my second round of being National Board Certified in Early Childhood Education. I also have my Master's degree in Reading K-12. While at UNCC, I started the Mecklenburg Math Club and led a specialty group of Math Olympiads. I've also judged and coached Odyssey of the Mind, softball, and a scrapbook club. I believe in active learning and using the outdoors when possible. I was a key participant in the implementation of U.T.O.T.E.S.(Using the Outdoors to teach Experiential Science) professional development and developing outdoor learning areas in my first school.Though I was born in the SW mountains of NC, I spent some time as a child in S. Florida prior to returning to the mountains in middle school. I love to hike, camp, fish, and kayak. I also spent a great deal of time mountain and road biking in the late 1990's. I am passionately curious and have done a great deal of traveling mostly across the U.S. and Europe. I love to journal, read and do almost anything creative. I have a diverse love of music and become extremely excited over things like fireworks, funky post-its, Christmas, spontaneity, Sharpies and more! I firmly believe anything is possible and that there are many alternatives to use in place of "I can't". ALL are capable! I work diligently until the student and I find how to best connect and to comprehend according to their interests and strengths.I am currently staying at home to spend as much time with my family as possible. I have a great sense of humor and love to cut-up! However, a core philosophy is to work hard so you can play hard.

Martyn

Adult Literacy Tutor • +24 Subjects

A superior education brings together critical thinking, curiosity, and creativity to better enrich our own lives and those around us. This is why I chose to go into the field of English teaching as the subject brings together those aspects of learning to fulfillment. In my time working with students, I have always seen the experience as rewarding and enriching through my years of working as a high school tutor, completing a year of student teaching, and finishing my college program at the University of Utah. After earning my Bachelors of English Teaching, I went to graduate school to obtain my Masters of Education, along with teaching license.I have been tutoring in secondary English Language Arts (ELA) for the last two years as well as taught secondary ELA in my student teaching. I covered subjects from the basics of grammar and writing mechanics to critical theory and Shakespeare. I love finding the interesting aspects of English and how they relate our world as a whole and connect across time to bring a deeper understanding of importance. With tutoring, I enjoy a conversational approach along the lines of the assignment to bring to light new ideas and understanding for students and myself. I look forward to working together!

Alexander

Algebra Tutor • +46 Subjects

I am currently a doctoral student at the University of Southern California, and I completed earlier degrees at the Juilliard School in New York and at La Sierra University in Riverside, CA. At La Sierra as an undergrad, I received dual degrees with honors in violin and mathematics, both of which have led me to teaching opportunities. In tutoring either field, I enjoy the constant adaptation of finding an approach suited to each student that will help them achieve their goals. Both mathematics and music are often considered to be innate talents, but being able to assist students of any background in gaining proficiency is an exciting opportunity for me and a fulfilling one when it happens. Beyond mathematics, I also welcome tutoring opportunities in Chemistry and especially Physics, with it's mathematical foundation.Another field in which I feel passionately about helping others is in English writing. Prior to working for Varsity Tutors, I would often help my friends with editing personal statements. I have also been fortunate to enjoy a key role in a start-up orchestra in New York City as a grant writer. Writing is an indispensable life skill that is too often overlooked, and I feel that my background allows me to be of help in a variety of tutoring subjects involving writing, from test prep to grammar and mechanics.I was fortunate to do well enough on the PSAT to earn a full scholarship for my undergraduate studies, and I recognize the importance of the PSAT, SAT, and AP tests for other students in achieving their educational hopes and dreams with a minimum financial burden. I am happy to work with students to prepare them for the standardized tests in the areas within my expertise.When I am not occupied with school, one of my hobbies is cycling and bicycle mechanics. I've rebuilt a number of vintage steel bicycles, and would like to build a wheel soon. I also like to stay active on the side with video and audio editing projects.
