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.

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!

I have been a tutor for 9 years, specializing in test prep and admissions tests. I also work with students on admissions essays and general homework help. I come from a suburban town near Houston, Texas, where I attended an international studies high school and gained tutoring experience through working and volunteering. I have worked as an assistant teacher for ESL (English as a Second Language) and volunteered as a tutor in both regular and AP subjects throughout my high school years. I have a BA in International Studies, with a minor in Business Administration and a certificate in Community Based Participatory Research. I am very interested in education, and I have spent lots of time studying different education systems and teaching methods. I believe that every single student has a unique way of learning and processing information, so it is important for them to develop their own studying habits and learning methods. That is why I want to be a tutor - so that I can help students discover their ideal way of learning. I am a determined and dedicated student that wants to help others. I have experience tutoring and working with students that are struggling to grasp difficult material and concepts. I am a social and outgoing person who works well with others, and I will try my best to help students succeed.

1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Brigham Young University where I majored in International Relations and Russian and of Thunderbird School of Global Management where I earned an MBA in International Business. My college and graduate studies include coursework in Writing, Literature, Geography, History, Political Science, Russian, Music, Business, Math, Science, and Art. Because of my experience with many different disciplines, I am able to teach a wide variety of subjects and have experience working with students of all ages from middle school to middle aged. My greatest skill as a tutor is the ability to adapt challenging material to the viewpoint of my students. This allows me to build bridges of understanding that help more analytical people feel at home in creative disciplines or vice versa. If you are a gifted artist struggling with Math, or an aspiring scientist struggling with creative writing, I'm your man! I am also a very experienced writer and editor. In my free time I enjoy hiking, literature, ultimate Frisbee, international travel, soccer, baking, music, strategy games, and philosophical discussions. I have lived in Africa, Western Europe, and Russia and visited over a dozen countries. Please note that due to the many different subjects I have studied, the list of classes above is not complete. If you have tutoring needs for a very specific subject, I may well have taken a course in that area. Feel free to reach out with questions!

Megan
BA Rhodes College
6+ Years Tutoring

I am studying Spanish in Mexico after two years teaching English in Guadeloupe, France to sharpen my foreign language skills and ESL teaching capabilities in preparation for multilingual and multicultural educational spaces. Upon my return to the United States, I will pursue my teaching license in secondary history. Thus, I am passionate about teaching History, English, and French. I also excel at teaching and academic writing. In addition to my experience guiding students in traditional classrooms, I have taught yoga for the past two years. This has involved planning classes for large groups in addition to providing personal assists to students throughout their practice. With my experience teaching others in both the traditional academic classroom and the nontraditional yoga classroom, I have learned there is no better way to assist others in their growth than meeting individuals exactly where they are. As a result, my teaching and tutoring styles are designed to capitalize upon what students already know so that they may build upon said knowledge and achieve more. Further, my teaching and tutoring are based on our humanity as people and thus there is plenty of conversation, inquiry, and room for mistakes. I believe education is an opportunity for creating possibilities, and as such I couldn't be more grateful to help others imagine their future possibilities.

I love teaching all ages in subjects such as reading and math, especially when it comes to the SATs. My philosophy is to never assume.

With patience and understanding, I grow with my students to assist them in getting the most possible out of their education with me.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students often struggle with reading comprehension, essay writing organization, and grammar fundamentals—especially when classroom instruction moves quickly through multiple concepts. With an average student-teacher ratio of 17.8:1 in Port St. Lucie schools, many students benefit from personalized attention to address specific gaps, whether that's analyzing complex texts, developing thesis statements, or mastering punctuation and syntax.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your learning pace, reading level, and writing style—rather than teaching to a classroom average. Tutors can spend extra time on areas where you struggle, provide detailed feedback on essays before they're submitted, and adjust their teaching methods to match how you learn best, whether that's through Socratic discussion, close reading strategies, or targeted grammar practice.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across all grade levels, from elementary reading foundations through high school AP Literature and Composition. Whether your student needs help with phonics and fluency in elementary school, essay writing in middle school, or literary analysis for AP exams, tutors can tailor instruction to grade-level standards and your specific goals.

The first session focuses on understanding your current strengths, challenges, and goals—whether that's improving reading comprehension, strengthening essay writing, or preparing for a standardized test. Your tutor will likely assess your writing, discuss what topics or skills feel most difficult, and outline a personalized plan for how you'll work together moving forward.

Tutors provide personalized feedback on your drafts, helping you develop stronger thesis statements, organize ideas logically, and refine your voice and style. Rather than waiting for teacher feedback on one essay per unit, personalized instruction allows you to practice multiple pieces of writing with detailed guidance, learn revision strategies, and build confidence in your ability to tackle different writing assignments—from persuasive essays to literary analysis.

Yes—tutors teach close reading strategies, help you identify main ideas and supporting details, and guide you through challenging texts at your own pace. Whether you're reading Shakespeare, contemporary novels, or nonfiction articles, personalized instruction breaks down complex passages, discusses themes and symbolism, and builds the analytical skills you need to understand and discuss literature confidently.

Yes—tutors can help you prepare for the reading and writing sections of the SAT and ACT, focusing on test-specific strategies, time management, and the types of questions you'll encounter. They can also help with state assessments and AP English exams, providing targeted practice and feedback to improve your performance on these high-stakes tests.

Varsity Tutors matches you with expert tutors who have experience teaching English Language Arts at your student's grade level and understand the skills and standards taught in Florida schools.
