Evelyn
ACT Aspire Tutor • +42 Subjects
I am a graduating senior seeking to attain a Bachelors of Arts in Economics at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. Next year I will be working at Oracle based in Burlington Massachusetts. I am also pursing a minor in Computer Science and Child Studies and Human Development. In high school I was a volunteer tutor at my middle school where I tutored students one on one in overall homework help and subjects like algebra and earth science. In college, I am apart of Tufts Tutoring where I tutor local Medford High School Students. I also have a year experience tutoring students in Physics on Varsity Tutoring. I have tutored three students in overall homework help, Spanish, and physics. Even though I have tutored students in a wide variety of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor in are science and math. These are tough subjects for all students and subjects that I have struggled with in the past. Being able to help students like me that feel frustrated in science and math in school and in standardized testing gives me great happiness. Education and learning is so important and valuable and being able to help students through the tricky parts of it gives me great joy.

As a proficient writer, I preferred writing essays over taking multiple choice exams back in college. I did it so often that I started assisting others with their work and got amazing results.I'm here to help students reach their educational goals. My focus rests on reading comprehension and writing, but I also excel at tutoring within the social sciences. Students that work with me apply and strengthen learned skills to their assignments. Overall, they will feel confident to successfully complete projects on their own.

10th Grade Tutor • +119 Subjects
I'm a big Boston Celtics fan and I speak three languages. I can get you the test results you need to succeed because I went through the exams myself and performed well. The first time I took the SAT I actually wasn't satisfied with my score, so I spent 2 months working hard to get my score to where I wanted it to be. The second time I took the exam I saw a 200-point increase. Previously, I have had experience teaching the SSAT and the SAT. The student I tutored in SSAT successfully passed the exam is now attending a private high school abroad. With VarsityTutor's online learning platform, I will be able to transfer knowledge in a visual, easy-to-understand manner. I look forward to being your tutor and helping you reach your academic goals. :)

I am a graduate of Tulane University where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Environmental Biology with a minor in Environmental Studies and Environmental Chemistry. In addition to my undergraduate degree, I also hold a Master's of Education in Curriculum & Instruction of Secondary Earth Science from Boston College. I am currently certified in Elementary, Middle and High School Sciences Massachusetts, and I am currently working to achieve certification in Texas. I have experience teaching at both public and private schools in Texas and am familiar with both STAAR and ISEE test prep and administration. My experience includes one-on-one and small group tutoring, substitute teaching, co-teaching, and classroom teaching in grades PreK, K, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12. I have tutored reading and literacy, math, STEAM/STEM, and science to students ranging in age from PreK to 12th grade, I have co-taught reading and literacy to students ranging in age from PreK grade to 8th grade, and I have taught integrated science, STEAM/STEM, physical science, biology, chemistry, and earth science to students ranging in age from 4th grade to 12th grade. I have experience with state standardized science testing tutoring (both STAAR and ISEE), science fair and other science class projects, presentations, and lab/experiments, and English Language Arts state testing prep. I have also tutored students in SAT prep for integrated science. I am a very enthusiastic, creative, and patient teacher with a strong background in working with and teaching students with social and emotional disorders, learning disorders, behavioral challenges, and ELLs. I especially enjoy working one-on-one with students as it enables us to work together to discover their strengths and interests which allows me to more easily target areas of weakness and create unique, individualized, and exciting lessons and experiences. As an educator I truly believe in the value of helping students develop life long learning skills that can be applied throughout various disciplines and levels, and I strongly believe that tutoring is a great way to achieve immediate success as well as develop long term skills that will encourage mindful thinking and increased academic rigor. Having worked with such a diverse group of learners throughout my career, I am confident in my ability to make information and concepts accessible to all types of students.

Hello there! My name is Artis Phillips and I'm a sophomore at Amherst College majoring in Biochemistry and History. I've been tutoring for the SAT (and ACT at times) for a little over three years now. I'd say the key to studying for the SAT is consistency and a growth mindset- it sounds corny but its tru! I have also helped students with the college admissions process

I am a magna cum laude undergraduate of Alvernia University, Reading, PA, with a BA in English. I am also a magna cum laude 2000 graduate of Kutztown University, Kutztown, PA, with a MA in English, where I was also a graduate assistant. I have been a professional adjunct lecturer and tutor at the college level for thirty years. I now teach solely at Alvernia University. I teach primarily in the Communication Department but have also taught Literature courses, Health Care Science writing courses, and I am now a Search Instructor (first year experience) and first-year advisor. I have professional credits at the bachelor's level in philosophy, theology, education, and addictions and mental health, holding a Behavioral Health certificate. I have master's level reading specialist professional credits and doctoral level professional credits in leadership. I also hold a teaching certificate for Pennsylvania Private Academic Schools, English, Secondary Education. I am the Faculty Advisor the Lamba Sigma Honors Society chapter at Alvernia University. I believe that students should be taught how to think, not what to think. I am one of the most popular lecturers on campus as I am known for my kindness, compassion, and sense of humor. My education has given me the skills I need to be a tutor and teacher, but it is being a mother, daughter and friend first that is the foundation of my teaching philosophy. I chose a life of serving others, and I believe that becoming the best version of yourself is the life goal that matters most.
Jim
10th Grade Reading Tutor • +12 Subjects
I graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelor's degree in Journalism and have spent my career writing and editing for newspapers and magazines. Through the years I realized that I enjoyed training aspiring writers and reporters on how to improve their writing skills. I live in a diverse community and felt I could use what I knew to assist others so I volunteered at a school system and began tutoring young adults as they worked toward a GED diploma. My specialties are reading, writing and grammar, but GED requirements can be broad and I gained additional experience working with the students in basic math.I emphasized organization and planning to help them improve their writing and communication skills. The students came from diverse backgrounds, but I found that they were most enthusiastic and involved with the process when they were working toward goals they had a hand in developing.In my spare time when I'm not freelance writing I'm usually enjoying the outdoors by hiking, camping, fly fishing or traveling.

AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +23 Subjects
I hold a B.A. in Comparative Literature from Princeton University and an M.A. from Georgetown University in Arabic Studies/Middle East Studies. I'm currently working on my second masters degree in Mass Communications and Journalism at ASU's Walter Cronkite School.I would love to tutor students working on any of the following subjects: PSAT Critical Reading, PSAT Writing Skills, SAT Critical Reading, SAT Subject Test in Literature, SAT Verbal, TOEFL, AP English Language and Composition, AP English Literature and Composition, College Essays, Essay Editing, Grammar and Mechanics, Literature, Reading, Writing, Arabic, and European History.Here's a little bit more information about my background -- I'm currently a Teaching Assistant at ASU, where I work closely with undergraduate students on improving their writing and critical thinking skills. Before coming to ASU, I taught undergraduate humanities and English literature courses. I have also served as an SAT Prep instructor for the verbal and writing sections of the SAT. I really like working with students on the verbal and writing portions of the SAT because I find that, when approached the right way, these sections of the test are a lot of fun.In terms of my teaching philosophy, I like to keep things as active as possible. I think it's important that students feel they are engaged in a dynamic process; I view tutoring much like a conversation. If students have questions, I always want to hear them. I think in tutoring, when both the student and the tutor contribute, there's a great exchange.I'm originally from the East Coast, the Philadelphia area. I lived in the Middle East for four years for my work. In my free time, I like to stay active. I love exercising. Running, hiking, and going to the gym are all great. I am a big believer that physical activity helps clear the mind and restore focus. I also love coffee and going to coffee shops.I look forward to meeting you soon for tutoring. I'm happy to answer any questions about my background and experience.

Elementary School Tutor • +18 Subjects
I believe that every child is unique. Because of this, they all learn differently and need teaching directly geared towards how they learn. I love seeing the "light" come on when a child learns something new and gets excited about what they are learning. I taught students in a classroom for six years, helping them learn English, Math, Science, and Social Studies. For a few of those years, I also taught Drama, Spanish, and Physical Education. I have also tutored students in China via an online platform for over three years. Overall, I have worked with children for over two decades and like to make learning fun. I have a Bachelor degree in Education and can tutor any elementary subject. I especially like to teach students how to read. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and traveling around the United States.
