ACT English Tutor • +83 Subjects
I am looking forward to tutoring you. I love helping people out in mathematics and when I work with people, not only do they get better but I can also improve my tutoring ability. I've worked with students of all ages from 5 years old all the way up to 60 years old. I have a handle on a whole range of topics in mathematics, due to my college work in pursuing a Bachelors in Mathematics. I am currently a senior that is 2 semesters away from graduation.The way I approach a tutoring session is I spend a significant amount of time trying to understand the student struggles and then I vigorously work with the student, honing in on the most trouble spots first, since those are the areas where the student can make the greatest improvements. My biggest strength in teaching is my ability to adapt to a students needs based on how i feel or perceive the students retention of the topics. If a student is struggling, I am quick to try and present the student with the same topic but from a different angle.I hope that I can provide you with excellent services!

I am an elementary education graduate from Marquette University. I have been an elementary teacher for nine years. Over those nine years, I have taught reading, math, science and social studies. I have also learned to adapt lessons for students that have learning disabilities or may learn in a less conventional manner. My greatest goal as a teacher and tutor, is to foster a love of learning within my students and empower them to seek out and demand a fulfilling and well rounded education for themselves. I look forward to being your tutor!
Kristen
Adult Literacy Tutor • +15 Subjects
As the daughter of a children’s book illustrator, I was blessed to have access to a variety of books, literature, and art throughout my formative years. My parents taught me to appreciate and value education and work toward making the world a better place. As a result, I want to see a world that displays equality and justice, especially in regards to education. My undergraduate and graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania allowed me to study and receive degrees in order to make this a reality.I am a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, where I received my Bachelor's degree in Urban Studies and Master of Science degree in Education. I am currently a fifth-grade teacher. Having taught students with many different learning needs during my career, I am able to tailor my teaching and tutoring style to meet the specific needs of my students. I have taught and tutored a variety of learners, including students with special needs like Autism, Emotional Disabilities, and Specific Learning Disabilities; ESL students; and adults in GED or adult high school programs. Though I have taught all subjects, including reading, writing, math, science, and social studies, I am most passionate about tutoring in elementary math, Algebra 1, and elementary/middle school reading comprehension and writing.As a teacher and tutor, I seek to introduce my students to the wonders of learning by using interactive and engaging lessons. My goal is to empower students to think critically about our world and have the insights and academic abilities to be catalysts for change. I believe all students have this capacity, and I work diligently to ensure that students reach their personal potential and educational goals.In my spare time, I love to read, listen to music, and visit the many Smithsonian (and other) museums in the DC area.

It is truly an enjoyable and fun subject to learn ~ You just have to know how to approach the material in a fun and engaging manner.

As a lifelong lover of language, I believe it is crucial to be able to express one's original ideas clearly and concisely. Most of all, I am drawn to the work of tutoring because I find it improves and enriches me as a writer as well.Originally born in Denver, Colorado, I also spent much of my upbringing in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, and am currently based in NYC. My favorite authors are Julio Cortazar, Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, and Muriel Spark.

I have worked numerous jobs, including rehabilitation, dialysis, jails, LTC, etc. I started taking travel nurse positions and have fallen in love with them. I love to learn and stay busy. I have four children, 8, 7, 3, and 2. They keep me on my toes, haha. I've always had a passion for teaching. With numerous nursing positions, I was always given the ability to precept. Teaching others and being there for someone in need gives me great joy. I'm so excited to have joined Varsity Tutors and can't wait to meet new students and learn right along with them.
