I love helping people and I love education, which is why I love teaching!I believe everyone can learn if they truly want to. After all, everyone has potential. I also believe that we can do hard things if we put our minds to it. For example, I chose to study Spanish and became fluent in college, without having to go on a study abroad.If we use our resources, work hard, and do our best, everything will work out. I've seen this principle in action throughout my life. I have an AAS is Arts and Sciences, a BS in Home and Family Living with a minor in Spanish, and an MA in Hispanic Linguistics. Since I graduated in 2013, I also spent two years working for FamilySearch.org and two years as a middle school teacher. Believe me; it was hard, but it was absolutely worth the work to be able to tutor now!

I am a graduate from the University of South Florida. I received a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences with concentrations in Biological Sciences and Social/Behavioral Sciences. During my time at USF, I was a tutor, tutoring both high school and middle school students in various math subjects, in a few low-income and first generation programs called Upward Bound Program (UBP) and College Reach-Out Program (CROP). I am most passionate about Algebra as I had incredible teacher for this subject.I also was a teacher's assistant in my time at USF for the Statistics department at university. I tutored Statistics in the library on the weekdays and I taught a peer leading class on Fridays for Statistics. I enjoy helping students from the middle school students who were building their foundations in math, to the high school students who were expanding their knowledge and building upon their math, to the college students, who were my fellow peers, who needed more clarification and direction to fortify their studies.After college, I began to work in higher education, but, I had private tutoring clients from a homeschool environment and continued to work with high school students needing assistance with math.While I love math, I also love language, and my favorite language is French, I love tutoring French as well to bring students to an understand of the wonderful and beautiful language.My favorite part of tutoring is seeing the joy of the aha moments in which a student gets when they finally understand something that was initially an obstacle of confusion for them. I love seeing the confidence students travel with as they do problems that posed as a hurdle for them previously.I am a firm believer that anyone can come to understand math with the right mindset, teaching, the right amount of exposure and most of all, practice. My approach with students is to have patience and to move at their pace of understanding as they progress in it.In my spare time, I love to do calligraphy and lettering as well as reading and researching about psychology and interpersonal relationships.

My name is Antoine, and I love teaching. I first garnered my love for teaching through the organization 4-H, which uses non-traditional teaching methods, namely experiential learning. I love planning and implementing fun educational workshops in any subject, but especially those I'm passionate about.I have taught courses in music, leadership, biology, through formal settings, and numerous other subjects in a non-traditional settings. I substitute teach, particularly math subjects, but am flexible in which subjects I will approach. I love when I get to substitute and actually continue a lesson for a series of classes, and not just give busy work for them to do until their teacher returns the next day.Tutoring is fun because I get to connect with a student on their level and make the subject matter relevant to them; no matter how frivolous they've determined it to be. I believe everyone has the capacity to learn, so I always take the proper care and time to foster that within all students.

I'm a former physics and mathematics student from the University of Rhode Island. There, I discovered the teachings of renowned physicist Richard Feynman which, compressed, might read: "if you really understand something, then you can explain it to your grandmother."I spend a lot of my free time reading and writing, and am currently working my way through Dubliners, a series of stories by James Joyce. I also play guitar and know upwards of several hundred songs.

I am a graduate from Truman State University with a degree in Romance Languages and a degree in Psychology with a focus on social behavior. I tutor for a variety of subjects including Psychology, Spanish, French, Reading, and Writing (including ACT Test Prep). My favorite subjects work on are Essay Editing and Psychology, but any subject can be fun! My tutoring style is best described as a relaxed environment so that the student can learn at a pace that best fits their abilities. I love to work with students on an educational plan so that they can reach goals and mark their progress. I am a firm believer that all students can excel in and out of the classroom by setting healthy goals and working towards them. Outside of academia, I enjoy hiking, swimming, and cooking with my family and friends.

I am originally from North Africa. I went to an all French school up to the age of 17. When I moved to the U.S. at the age of 17. I enrolled in High School to finish High School and I started tutoring French until I graduated 2 year later. I went to University of Arizona and graduated. While at the University of Arizona I started teaching French privately and working part time as a French operator at a call center.A year after graduating from University of Arizona. I moved to Paris/London for Graduate School. I went to a British School located in Paris for Graduate School. While in Paris for Graduate School. My every day communications were in French, I watched French TV etc... I was in Paris for 2 year.French is been part of my life since I was born. That is why I think I am very qualified to be a French Teacher/Tutor.

Ever since bringing refugee children up to and beyond grade-level mathematics while tutoring in the mid-2000s, I have always been motivated by a spirit of service to community, society, and humanity at large. Teaching and tutoring is one small but essential part of that ethos.

I've always harbored dual passions for learning and teaching. Growing up in Kansas City, I participated in competitive math and spelling, going on to tutor middle school MathCounts and serve as my younger sibling's spelling bee coach. These experiences cemented my desire to serve as a mentor for others.With a background in higher-level math, I tutored the subject throughout high school while also serving as captain of the varsity tennis team and teaching private tennis lessons on the side. Top ACT and SAT scores earned me a scholarship at the University of Miami, where I was able to develop a newfound love for the fine arts. I am now pursuing a B.S. in computer science as well as a B.A. in studio art, with minors in mathematics and public health. I feel that my artistic practice has shaped my teaching, pushing me to take a creative, non-rigid approach to education -- I believe in working closely with my students to create individualized plans that cater to their specific learning needs.I specialize in tutoring middle/high school math (pre-algebra thru pre-calc) and test prep (SAT, ACT, and PSAT.) I am also comfortable tutoring middle/high school reading, essay writing, vocabulary, and computer science. In my free time, I paint, play tennis, and play synth in a band. I look forward to working with you!

Driven and passionate educator with 4+ years of experience in educational settings. My teaching experience ranges from teaching college sociology courses to TESL in West Africa. I believe in working to help children of all ages and abilities to achieve their full potential and some of my best experiences have come from in-home counseling clients and residential behavioral health counseling. I hold a Master's degree in sociology, am a qualified mental health counselor (child), and will be certified for Middle School English in Sept. 2017. I look forward to working with Varsity Tutors and helping my clients achieve their educational and personal goals.

My name is Awa and I'm originally from Senegal, a French-speaking country. I have traveled for training purposes in the field of education and it took me to institutions such as the Ochonamizu University of Tokyo, where I was certified in early childhood education, as well as the Living Values Education Center in Oxford. In addition, I have trained teachers in African countries such as Mali, Togo, Ghana, Burkina Faso, and Senegal. For almost two years I lead the home-based childcare program at the International Institute of Saint Louis.I am fluent in fluent in Wolof, French, and English. I have a lot of experience when it comes to teaching French from teaching and training teachers to establishing a French elementary school in Senegal.My conception of teaching isn't the transfer of knowledge from teacher to student, but rather a teacher facilitating the student's gain of knowledge based on the student's environment and needs, while using appropriate and specific methods.
