Adje

Elementary School Math Tutor • +33 Subjects

With a bachelor's degree in religion from Dartmouth College, I have developed a deep appreciation for the power of language and storytelling. My tutoring experience has equipped me to foster a supportive learning environment where students can flourish and express themselves authentically. I aim to guide them in seeing literature not merely as a medium but as a profound revelation of the human experience. By focusing on English Grammar and Syntax, as well as UK A Level Irish and Russian, I strive to cultivate not just academic skills but also a lifelong love for literature and learning.

I am a special education teacher with eight years of experience. I routinely work with individuals with learning or behavioral difficulties, so making the necessary accommodations to aid in learning is second nature to me. This can be evidenced in tutoring - I am willing to do whatever it takes to help learners grow and learn! I have a dual Bachelor's degree in elementary/collaborative education from Jacksonville State University as well as a Master's degree and Education Specialist degree from the University of West Alabama.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Birmingham's 118 schools and all 5 school districts with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in Birmingham City Schools, Jefferson County Schools, or another district in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can provide personalized support aligned with what they're learning in the classroom.

Tutors work with students on the specific Alabama College and Career Readiness Standards taught in Birmingham schools, whether that's mastering core math and reading skills, preparing for state assessments, or building confidence in challenging subjects. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, students get targeted help on exactly what they're struggling with rather than generic test prep, which research shows leads to stronger understanding and better performance on state benchmarks.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 18.9:1 in Birmingham schools, classroom teachers often have limited time for one-on-one attention with each student. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by giving students dedicated time with an expert tutor who can focus entirely on their learning needs, answer questions without time pressure, and adjust the pace to match how they learn best—something that's difficult in a larger classroom setting.

Students in Birmingham seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects including math (algebra, geometry, pre-calculus), English/language arts, science, and standardized test preparation for the ACT and SAT. We also connect students with tutors for AP and honors courses, Alabama-specific state assessments, and subject-specific challenges like reading comprehension or writing skills that are foundational across all disciplines.

The first session is a chance for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals—whether that's improving a grade, building confidence in a subject, or preparing for an upcoming test. The tutor will ask questions about what's been challenging, review recent schoolwork, and create a personalized plan for how tutoring can best support your student's success in their Birmingham school.

Many students start seeing increased confidence and understanding within the first few sessions, though the timeline depends on the subject, how frequently your student meets with their tutor, and how long they've been struggling. For students working toward a specific goal like improving a grade or preparing for a test, we recommend consistent tutoring over several weeks or months to build momentum and lasting skills rather than one-off sessions.

We consider your student's subject, grade level, learning style, and specific goals when connecting them with an expert tutor. Tutors working with Varsity Tutors have deep knowledge of their subject areas and experience teaching students in Birmingham schools, so they understand the local curriculum and can provide instruction that complements what's happening in the classroom.

Yes, tutoring is flexible and can be arranged around your family's schedule. Whether your student needs help after school, on weekends, or during the summer, Varsity Tutors works with families to find a tutoring arrangement that fits their life. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain consistent support without adding stress to an already busy schedule.
