BA Vanderbilt University • Professional (JD, MD, DMD, etc) University of Miami School of Law
2+ Years Tutoring

With over a decade of experience as a student and a personal understanding of learning challenges, I'm passionate about helping students succeed on their own terms. As someone with ADHD, I understand firsthand how to navigate the complexities of focus and time management, and I incorporate strategies that work for neurodivergent learners. This experience allows me to connect with students who face similar challenges, providing them with practical tools and encouragement to excel. I earned my Juris Doctor and LL.M in Entertainment, Art, and Sports Law from the University of Miami School of Law, and my Bachelor's degree in Human and Organizational Development from Vanderbilt University. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I specialize in English, History, and Law, and I particularly enjoy helping students sharpen their writing and critical thinking skills.

Susan
Undergraduate Degree University of Central Florida • Undergraduate Degree Florida Institute of Technology
10+ Years Tutoring

I am fortunate; I get to do the best job in the world. While teaching is my second career, it was always what I wanted to do. When I graduated from college, I was offered a position with my college's admissions and marketing office, where I had been working to put myself through school. It was a tremendous opportunity, and launched an eighteen-year career helping high school students make important decisions about their futures, and navigate an often complex admissions and financial aid system. I loved working with students, being around bright, engaging people, and doing work that made a difference. But each time I walked through a high school to present a workshop on writing college essays or preparing for college interviews, I was reminded of how deeply I still wanted to be in a classroom. So I took the plunge, and now spend my days teaching social studies to great students at a great school. I have taught world history, American history, sociology, psychology, economics, and even developed a high school course in teaching for students seeking a career in education. I am passionate about understanding how the past has shaped the present, and helping students recognize their critical role in protecting and preserving democracy. In addition to teaching course curricula, I work with students on writing skills, standardized test preparation, and college essays, because all of these skills will help them reach their academic goals. As a teacher, I believe that it is critical to help students develop the ability to regulate their own learning, and implement meta-cognitive strategies that will serve them in college and beyond. When I'm not teaching, I am a mom to a high school sophomore, a long-distance mom to two college students, a gardener who grows lots of organic vegetables, and an avid reader of anything historical. If I can help you in a specific subject area, or with essays, test preparation, or homework support, either face-to-face or on-line, let me know!

Shannon
BA Columbia University in the City of New York
3+ Years Tutoring

I have always been a highly ambitious student and strive to learn in everything I do. In high school I became enthralled with my ACT exams, embracing the challenge and being reinvigorated with each improvement I could make; over the course of a year, I self-studied from a 21 to a 34 and even had fun doing it! With that score I was able to attend Columbia University where I received two BAs: one in Archaeology and the other in Classics with a focus on Latin. In each step of my educational journey, I have been interested in accessibility and have been passionate about spreading information as widely as I can. I am now pursuing an MA at Columbia's Teacher's College in Anthropology and Education, specializing in the experiences of Neurodivergent learners.

Frequently Asked Questions

In a classroom setting, teachers manage instruction for 20+ students with varying needs—making it difficult to address individual gaps in reading comprehension, writing mechanics, or critical thinking. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's specific challenges, whether that's essay structure, grammar fundamentals, or literary analysis. This targeted approach means faster progress and the ability to spend extra time on concepts that need reinforcement without holding back or rushing ahead.

Students often struggle with essay writing and organization, reading comprehension across different text types, grammar and mechanics, and analyzing literature deeply. Many students can identify what happens in a story but struggle to explain why it matters or what the author intended. Others have solid ideas but can't organize them into clear, coherent paragraphs. Personalized tutoring addresses these specific gaps by breaking down complex skills into manageable steps and providing immediate feedback on student work.

Expert tutors work with students on the full writing process—from brainstorming and outlining to drafting, revising, and editing. Rather than just marking errors, tutors teach the reasoning behind grammar rules and help students understand how to structure arguments persuasively. With consistent, personalized feedback and practice on real assignments, students develop confidence and see measurable improvement in their writing grades and standardized test performance.

Yes. Many students read the words but miss deeper meaning, themes, and author's purpose. Tutors teach active reading strategies—annotation, questioning, and making connections—that help students engage more critically with texts. They also guide students through the thinking process of literary analysis, so students understand not just what happened, but how to support interpretations with evidence from the text.

Absolutely. Tutors working with students in Palm Bay are familiar with Florida's standards for reading, writing, speaking, and listening at each grade level. They understand what skills students need to master for state assessments and how to align tutoring with what's being taught in the classroom. This ensures tutoring reinforces and extends classroom learning rather than working in isolation.

Yes. Tutors help students master the reading and writing skills tested on standardized assessments, including analyzing passages, identifying main ideas, and writing under time constraints. They teach test-specific strategies while building genuine comprehension and writing ability—so students aren't just memorizing tricks, but developing skills that transfer across all their English work.

The first session is about understanding your student's strengths, challenges, and goals. The tutor will review recent classwork or test scores, ask about specific areas where your student struggles, and assess current skills in reading, writing, and critical thinking. From there, they'll develop a personalized plan focused on the most impactful improvements and explain how they'll measure progress over time.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors across all grade levels—from elementary reading foundations through high school literature and composition. Whether your student needs help with phonics and fluency in elementary school, essay writing in middle school, or AP Literature preparation in high school, there are tutors with expertise in grade-level expectations and curriculum standards.
