Algebra Tutor • +12 Subjects

I am an undergraduate at Tulane University in New Orleans, but will be spending next year abroad at the London School of Economics. I was born here in San Francisco, and I have lived in this amazing city ever since. I???ve been tutoring for several years in a variety of subjects: from reading and writing for ESL (English as a second language) students, to Calculus and Economics, and for a variety of ages: from kindergarteners to my peers at college. Math has definitely been my favorite subject to tutor; I find joy in helping people who are struggling get to a point where concepts finally make sense. There is a sort of instant gratification when you are able to find a solution to a tricky math problem. Through my experience with standardized tests like the SAT, I have found many tricks to beating the ???game??? of standardized testing and would love to share them with you. Most importantly, I believe that everyone has a unique learning style and that I, as a tutor, need to adapt to be able to help the students I work with get the most out of tutoring.During my free time I enjoy baking, spending time with friends at a park, and going to music festivals. I also love exploring the city of New Orleans when I???m at school, and I even still enjoy wandering San Francisco despite having lived here my entire life.I think everyone has the potential to succeed in whatever subject they choose as long as they put their mind to it. I am looking forward to the chance to help you reach whatever goals you???ve set!

My first job out of college was as a tutor and mentor in a high school in Chicago. I worked with 9th graders, mainly in Algebra, and I fell in love with both teaching math and working with students one-on-one.I studied Social Policy, with a focus on Education Policy, as well as Economics and Spanish as an undergraduate at Northwestern University, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude. My undergraduate experience solidified my decision to pursue a career working with young people. I am now a graduate student in Social Work at UC Berkeley where I work with foster youth in a case management and counseling role.I have continued to tutor several students in elementary school math, Algebra, study skills, and writing over the last two years. I am hoping to expand my tutoring services, and I am very excited to meet new students through Varsity Tutors!

A current first grade teacher, I love working with students to achieve reading and writing goals. I am a great tutor because I have over a decade of experience teaching children. I work with students to break down information into easy to manage pieces and make sure they are understanding each step as they go along. If students still seem to be struggling, I return to more basic concepts and help them build upon what they already know. I use a variety of methods in my tutoring including visual aids, hands-on materials, books, and online sources to ensure that all students' learning styles are compatible with my lesson plans. Building a connection with my students is extremely important to me.

John

College English Tutor • +34 Subjects

I was born and raised in Iowa. Upon graduating from high school, I enrolled at The University of Iowa where I double majored in Fine Art and Japanese Language and Literature. During my freshman year I was awarded a summer scholarship to study aboard in Tokyo, Japan at ICU. This experience sparked my interest in studying and living abroad in Tokyo, so upon returning after summer abroad I enrolled in another year long study abroad program at Meiji University. After finishing my undergrad, I returned to Tokyo where eI went on to advance my studies by enrolling in a Master's program at Tama Art University. Here I studied Typography. Also while attending school in Japan, I worked part time and eventually full time at an English Language school. Upon finishing my Master's, I decided to stay in Japan and pursue my career there and found my first job at Japan's largest advertising agency Dentsu. About a year later, I was later recruited to join Dentsu's sister company The Goal which is a fashion advertising agency. I spent about 10 years living in Japan before returning back to the United States. I have an excellent understanding of the Japanese Language as well as the culture, traditions and history. I think that one of my strengths is that I am very patient and understanding when it comes to teaching someone something new. I am also very passionate about design, fashion and music.

Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects

I'm a New York native and Cornell University graduate. I received my Bachelor's of Science in Design & Environmental Analysis with a concentration in human factors & ergonomics. I've lived in San Francisco since August 2009 and I work as a user experience designer and consultant. I think a good education is one of the key factors to success in life and I'm passionate about teaching others and helping them learn to be successful in ways they never thought they could. In particular, I enjoy helping students discover a fondness for math and science, two fields that can be intimidating. I love balancing these more technical subjects with subjects that are more "fun" or creative, such as language or art. When I'm not working, I enjoy traveling, cooking, singing, working out, and reading.
