Henry

ACCUPLACER ESL Tutor • +22 Subjects

Hi! My name is Henry, and I currently study German and philosophy at Wheaton College. I am eager to help you grow in your knowledge and appreciation of French and German - my hope is that you will not only become proficient in your foreign language of choice, but that you will come to love it as well. To this end, my lessons engage all of your capacities to communicate: reading, listening, writing and speaking. As a continuing language-learner myself, I value trust and encouragement highly. I look forward to meeting with you!

James

ACT English Tutor • +28 Subjects

I first started tutoring when I was in high school. My friends would come to me for help with our classes and for help with writing their essays. I always appreciated this, and I was happy to be able to help my friends with their work and to get them to where they needed to be with the material. This has continued to be my role, even in college. I love being a continued system of support for my friends and classmates in understanding their material. I truly enjoy helping others with their work and will do my very best to help you with your classes.I am currently a student at Franklin and Marshall College out in Lancaster, PA. As of now I have finished a very successful freshman year and am leaning towards majoring in both economics and German. I am able to do this because of the amount of AP credit that I came into school with. This is one of the reasons why I am an avid proponent of AP classes, as it affords chances to expand interests in college. On campus, I am avidly involved in our campus radio station, WFNM, hosting a weekly show with one of my best friends where we debate the news and play both classic rock and country music. I am also a brother of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, Pennsylvania Eta chapter. On top of all this, I enjoy being in the great outdoors spending much of my free time outside doing things like fishing, hiking, and kayaking.

Xavier

AP French Language and Culture Tutor • +25 Subjects

I started teaching in my junior year of high school where I was a part of the Virginia's Teachers for Tomorrow program. With this program, I taught Spanish and French to Middle School students. I was also sort of a teacher's aid when it came to helping students in my mixed AP German class assisting the other students who were taking German I. World languages are my fort and I enjoy helping others to understand them better.Since my teaching revolves around language learning, my teaching philosophy focuses on how to achieve fluency. There are several skills that involve language learning which include speaking, writing, reading, grammar, vocabulary, and listening. Everyone is quick to say that speaking is the most important and the only skill you will need to have. However, I have been in many German, Spanish, and French classes and I always see a pattern. The pattern is that students are able to say any sentence in a language, but have difficulty responding to what a native speaker says. This is why I believe that listening is the most important skill in acquiring fluency. A conversation dies if you are not able to understand what was said to you.

Juliane

AP German Language and Culture Tutor • +28 Subjects

After graduating from Cornell University with my Bachelors in Physics and German Studies, I am currently enrolled in the Materials Science and Engineering PhD program at the University of Michigan. I enjoy tutoring students because I was once on the other side of the table! While at Cornell, a physics graduate student provided me with supportive, concept-based, and empathetic tutoring that greatly increased my self-confidence and mastery of the course material. In my tutoring sessions, I use many techniques which I learned from him, and my #1 goal is to empathize with the student and make them feel valued despite their academic struggles. My tutoring sessions focus on helping the student understand the "why" -- "why is equation X appropriate and not equation Y?". From my own experience, this approach allows students to fully understand the course material and apply it in a variety of settings, from academia to careers and internships.I have completed over 500 hours of tutoring at 3 different companies, and have proofread cover letters and resumes for adults seeking new job opportunities. I continue to keep my German skills sharp by regularly watching German television and news, and have achieved CEFR Level C2 Proficiency (highest possible) in all areas of the German language (reading, writing, speaking, and listening).

Rachel

ACT Reading Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am recent grad of Dartmouth College and graduated cum laude with High Honors in Biology, modified with mathematics. I graduated Mercer Island High School as a valedictorian and math award recipient in 2014. At Mercer Island High School, I was the president of the school's tutoring club, Kids Corps. This fall, I will begin a PhD program in Immunology at the University of Washington.I've spent extensive time abroad and love to learn and teach language. Most recently, I spent a winter in Quito, Ecuador, interning with the NGO Care International. My junior year of college, I spent a quarter abroad in Berlin, immersed in German language and culture. I am excited to tutor Spanish up to the level of working proficiency, and German to intermediate conversation level.I have always had a passion for math, calculus especially, and even as a high school student, enjoyed helping others learn concepts and engage in critical problem solving.These critical thinking skills transfer over well to test-taking, and I am happy to serve as a tutor for the ACT, as well as the GRE, which I took last summer in preparation for my gradate program at the University of Washington. I have past experience tutoring ACT, specifically with a focus in the Reading and English sections of the test.Lastly, I have been playing classical piano since age 5. I continued lessons through college and won second place in a college-wide piano competition my freshman year of school. Music is a passion of mine, and I am excited to share my love for the instrument with students eager to learn.I am thrilled to begin tutoring with Varsity, and to help others engage with the subjects for which I have so much passion.

ACT Prep Tutor • +67 Subjects

I am a graduate of Smith College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Theater, with an emphasis on Acting. I also have a Semester Diploma of Classical Acting from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Since graduation, I have worked as a Sunday school Kindergarten teacher, and currently teach preschool at the same location. I am also currently tutoring a very smart 4-year-old as she learns to write English and to speak Thai. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Literature and History. I believe in tailoring my tutoring style to the needs of each student and my teaching philosophy emphasizes clear expectations and positive reinforcement. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, swimming, and doing Sudoku.

Jonas

Conversational German Tutor • +7 Subjects

Do you want to pass that literature class with flying colors, or ace the verbal sections of any standardized test? Drop me a line!I was born in Sweden, and after a lengthy stint as a grad student and editor in the U.K. I finally ended up in Wisconsin. I suppose I am well on my way to becoming a cheesehead by now.I have taught and tutored in the U.S., England and Sweden -- ranging from elementary phonics to postmodern literature and Elizabethan revenge tragedy. But irrespective of whether I am teaching pre-K or college, I want to convey a sense of how amazing language and literature are.Hobbies include, but are hopefully not limited to: spending time with my wife, chess, and admiring magpies and other equally intelligent corvids. I also read too much for my own good, and this includes everything from Beowulf to the back of Corn Flakes boxes.

Nicole

Algebra Tutor • +26 Subjects

I strongly believe in the power of teaching, and I want to help students expand their field and depth of knowledge, as well as feel accomplished and good about themselves. Asking for help and support has been one of the most vital aspects of my education, and I hope to return that gift to students through tutoring. I started tutoring elementary school students when I was in high school, and I began advising other high school students for college test prep and applications as I was transitioning to Yale. I am now a sophomore at Yale University. For most of my high school career I attended Syosset Public High School, a National Blue Ribbon School in Long Island. In both academic settings I had great, inspirational teachers who influence the way I view learning today. Patience, validation, encouragement, and clear demonstration are values that I bring into my tutoring sessions. I believe that the most important thing is for the student to walk away feeling encouraged, willing to take on challenges, and feeling equipped to take on those challenges in a meaningful way.Outside of academics I love to sing, play the piano, bake, and read fiction books. My passions for mental health, education, and music drive the extracurriculars I am involved with at Yale. When it comes to personal values, I believe in kindness, honesty, and strong interpersonal relationships.I hope to be able to help your student on their academic journey!

Andreas

Business Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a German-American who has found a passion in knowledge. My greatest passions are found in music: guitar, violin, singing; and language: English, German, Italian, Spanish. Throughout the years, I have stretched my mind across the vast plains of many subjects, including psychology, phylosophy, viticulture, history, literature, business sciences, and more. I am not, however, always to be found behind a book or in a library. I have been the captain of my old baseball and basketball teams, won table tennis tournaments, and enjoy billiards, golf, swimming, biking, and other athletic activities. After all, a healthy body helps support a healthy mind.In terms of experience, I have tutored people from ages 10-22 for about five years in German, English grammar, English composition, study skills, mathematics, guitar, and violin.I currently study Entrepreneurship and International Business at Johnson & Wales University. I enjoy every second there and my joy is depicted in my GPA (4.0/4.0). I learn because I sincerely want to; knowledge IS power, and I feel myself strengthen every day. I believe that everybody can strengthen themself if one simply applies sincere will with effort. The perceived value of knowledge seems to be declining in today's youth; I hope to revitalize it.My greatest personal goal is to offer my satisfaction in my death; I wish to look back upon my life with the serene knowledge that I leave the world a better place than as I entered it.In order to best help others one must teach the willing how to help themselves. Knowledge opens doors into different worlds; shapes our eyes, through which we see; expands our horizons, towards which we strive. Though we never reach the frame of our minds, the journey is made all the more enhancing through its infinity.Benjamin Franklin - "We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid."
