As a current sophomore at Kenyon College, I'm right there in the trenches with other students. Through my work as a volunteer teacher with Lake Erie Ink, I've learned that any disdain for learning is derived from a neglect of the complexity of learning -- the endless means and modes of learning, which, when sculpted to the needs of specific individuals, can completely change the way a person views the world.Engagement, ingenuity, and patience in teaching can revolutionize a student's grades, and, more importantly, their self-image, which is why I sought out a position at VarsityTutors to begin with. Successful and productive interactions with students not only helps them grow exponentially, but frequently teaches me new things as well, and it's precisely this back-and-forth nature of learning that seems to really make a difference in a student's academic career. I would love to be given the opportunity to produce this change in others.

Hello! I'm Ryan, and I'm dedicated to empowering you and your words as much as possible. I even got an English degree from Davidson College to back it up. I've also worked as a College Advisor, so I have experience filling out hundreds of FAFSAs and college applications, editing quite a bit of last-minute essays, and assisting students in the best strategies for the ACT/SAT. I hope to help you present and uncover all your truths!

As an instructional coach, 6-12th grade educator, and college/adult mentor, I have over 15 years facilitating teaching, test preparation, and advisory roles in the secondary education, higher education, and adult ESL context.I have taught the following subjects: AP English Language Arts (ELA) Composition, AP English Literature, AP US History, 9th and 10th Grade English, ACT/SAT English/Reading, ESL English Reading, College Application Personal Statements, and College Essay Writing.Currently, I am a learning development specialist in Ann Arbor, MI for secondary students preparing for the ACT exam and adult ESL students preparing for the TOEIC exam.

As an experienced educator and tutor for over 7 years, I believe in finding different ways to teach. This includes guiding students on how to think for themselves, while also monitoring their own thinking. I focus on giving power back to the student.A few areas in which I excel include: really getting to know people and their interests, using student interests during lessons, strong problem-solving, general organization, different ways to teach most subjects, and student engagement.My teaching degree is from UNC Greensboro in reading and math for grades 6-9. I also hold a Master's Degree in School Administration that I earned in 2020. In the leadership roles that I have had at my schools, I trained countless teachers in math, reading, writing, speaking, science, and social studies topics in grades K-5 for about 3 years. I have also taught and tutored students in topics ranging from grades K-9.

I'm a freshman Economics and Math double major at Carleton College. I specialize in ACT Prep and various other economics courses prep. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, and listening to music. I look forward to working with you!

I am a graduating senior Communications Studies major in the honors program at Emerson College. At Emerson, I have achieved a 3.97 GPA and joined the prestigious Gold Key Honor Society. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have worked for companies such as Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), NBC Universal, and Red Wagon Entertainment. Recently, an essay I wrote was featured in the textbook Writing: Ten Core Concepts by Robert Yagelski (2014) as an example of exemplary student prose. In my free time, I enjoy reading, following baseball, and watching movies. I have a passion for learning as well as a fervent desire to help others succeed. In particular, I love the English language and the limitless range of expression it affords. It is my firm belief that learning should be an enjoyable experience, and I hope to share my enthusiasm with all students I tutor. I am particularly skilled at teaching public speaking, essay writing, and SAT Writing and Critical Reading preparation.

I am an engineer with a masters degree from UC Berkeley in Mechanical engineering. I like to tutor math and engineering topics. I am glad to share my knowledge with you.

Prior to my current position as a nurse educator, I was a Progressive Care Unit RN with experience at the bedside in Cardiac, Transplant and post-surgical care. Nursing is my second career, but I will say that I have followed my dream and found my passion. I completed multiple travel nursing assignments across this great country. Being a lifelong student myself, I look forward to sharing my passion for learning with my students.

My name is Victoria, and I enjoy helping others work toward their full potential by helping them grow in knowledge, confidence, and productivity. I am fun-loving, outgoing, and am always seeking ways to improve the quality of my life. In addition to tutoring, I enjoy speaking Spanish, traveling, spending time with loved ones, eating out, dancing, photography, and spending time outdoors.

I'm a working Musical Theatre actor who has a passion for teaching and tutoring, especially in English and standardize tests. As a child, I was horrible at focusing in the standardize tests, and missed an entire section because I was "bored". As I grew up, I learned how to focus and became quite good at understanding the methods of creating the questions and understanding what they were testing. I became interested in grammar and literature particularly, because it is fascinating to get into. So many different words to describe life, and so many stories to delve into! When I was a teenager, a good number of my poems, stories and essays were published professionally. I was also one of the five finalists of the Profile in Courage essay competition for the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in 2009.While theatre is my dream and career, I decided to become a tutor so I could help others who needed assistance with something that was just fun for me. Practicing for my own PSATs and SATs, watching my scores (practice and real) go up and up gave me a satisfaction that its almost indescribable. Helping people reach their own goals, and seeing them succeed is really important for me.My approach is more relaxed, because learning should always be fun. I believe in practice making close to perfect, and repetition is key. The easiest way to remember something is writing it down a time or two. It works with all subjects, and it forces your attention to be on what you're doing in the moment.I got into some of the top schools in the country, but ultimately decided on Catholic University of America because it had the best Musical Theatre program, which was the most important part of choosing a college in my view. With a degree in theatre, Shakespeare and other such play analysis is just about second nature to me. When I was in High School, I was in Honors and Advanced English throughout my time (AP Language and Literature), and got 5's on both exams. Also, when I took the SAT (back when the writing portion was required), I never got less than a perfect score on my essay. Once I got to college, I decided to be a peer advisor/editor for papers to earn a little money while in school. Once my school work got too crazy, I stopped, but I helped a lot of papers turn from Cs and Ds in the rough draft portion to As and Bs.
