At heart, I have unshakable faith in each student's capacity to successfully navigate all subjects. All it takes is figuring out where our individual potholes are, and filling them in! No more flat tires on the same old bad habits or missing information.For me, the best part of tutoring is watching a student realize he or she is not limited to the difficulties of a subject or skill. I love the moment when a student says "I guess I could be a math person!" Or, "I dropped the word 'loquacious' in conversation, you should have seen their faces!"Too often, we define our capabilities in such harsh and rigid ways. If we don't understand math as quickly as our peers, we aren't good at math. If diagramming parts of speech doesn't make sense the first time, that must be the only way to learn it, and we're out of luck. If we get so nervous for tests that our minds go blank, we resign ourselves to grades that reflect nerves instead of knowledge.No! Albert Einstein didn't begin speaking till he was four years old - what if he believed that defined his future?With a creative approach, individually adapted explanations and examples, and cheerful tenacity, I work diligently with each student to overcome learning gaps, build confidence, and reach academic goals of all varieties.

I love to teach because learning can be and should be fun. I have an infant so its a joy to watch him learn each day. It inspires me to help others. I went to college for Psychology and Accounting at Fresno State University. I love to tutor both children and adults. I really enjoy tutoring math of all kinds and take pleasure in making it fun for those learning. In my spare time I love to hike and camp. For me life is about having fun, learning what you can and being the best person you can be.

My personal goals and desires are ultimately continue to grow professionally within the field of education / special education. As an educator I believe in life long learning and as a result I strive for growth in all that I do. Ultimately I would like to work for the state and own an educational facility for students with special needs. I anticipate that on my journey with Varsity Tutors I will attain a plethora of knowledge that I can apply across the field of education, to foster growth in the students I encounter now and in the future.

My experience includes tutoring students at the Atlanta Youth Academy (in south Atlanta) and abroad. At the end of 2012, I returned from two and a half years volunteering with the Peace Corps in Ecuador, South America. As a Peace Corps Volunteer, I worked with urban youth from a low-income neighborhood in the largest city in Ecuador. My projects included designing and implementing an internship program to promote leadership skills among young women aged 14-16; designing a curriculum and teaching natural science classes to 30 elementary and junior high students; and working with over 200 students at 4 different educational and extracurricular programs, teaching classes and tutoring individuals in Spanish, English, Algebra, the natural sciences, and the fine arts. During this time I discovered that I love working one on one with students. I am excited to be back in Atlanta and continuing to work with students!

Hello! I am a management consultant and a 2017 graduate of NYU Stern, Magna Cum Laude. I have spent 200+ hours tutoring for the SAT I (all three sections and the essay) and am happy to help anyone improve their score. I'm also happy to help with the SAT II for Math I and II, as well as college admissions essay editing and advice. In my free time, I love to explore New York City and listen to stand up comedy.

I'm a sophomore studying chemical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. Outside of the classroom, I am involved in APO, a service fraternity, Engineers Without Borders, and Big Brothers Big Sisters. In my free time, I enjoy reading fantasy novels, running, catching up on TV shows, and eating a lot of food.

My love for working in education began when I started volunteering as a tutor and mentor in high school. Throughout my life, I have fueled my passion for helping students succeed through a variety of careers, including serving as an AmeriCorps member for City Year, supervising elementary tutors and mentors, and am currently working as a high school guidance counselor. I have a BA degree in Psychology from The Ohio State University and a MA degree in School Counseling from Northern Kentucky University. I hope that as your tutor, I can show you ways to make learning relevant, fun, and interesting!

I'm 29 years old, married, and recently graduated from Virginia Tech with my master's in Agricultural and Applied Economics. My undergraduate degree is also from Virginia Tech in Economics. I hope to work in the International Development field in order to help people get out of poverty. I love learning, and I also love helping other people learn! I specialize in microeconomics and standardized testing. I am patient and tailor the tutoring experience to suit your personality and needs.
