I am a certified teacher in Social Studies, ESL, and French with experience teaching in France, Spain, and the United States.

I am a current undergraduate student at the University of Pittsburgh, studying Political Science and Psychology with a minor in Spanish. I have ample experience in tutoring and working with children ranging from preschool to 12th grade. Through the Bev Hickman Writing Center at Catonsville High School, I received a full school year's worth of intense writing tutoring training, including AP essays, college applications, cover letters, resumes, and other class assignments. I have also gained experience in childcare through Trinity Summer Camp, where I worked as a counselor for ages 3.5 to 5 for 7 weeks; we focused on creating an enriching environment for education and fun, managing a wide array of behaviors and personalities.As of last semester, I am volunteering with Keep It Real at the University of Pittsburgh. This organization places college students in refugee/in-need communities to tutor students K-12. I am currently tutoring in the Northview Heights Somali-Bantu refugee community with elementary aged children.I have online tutoring experience winter of 2020-2021 through School Simplified, an all online platform to provide tutoring to middle and high school students worldwide. My tutoring foci are English/Writing K-12, Math in levels up to Geometry, and ACT/SAT prep emphasizing Reading, English, and Writing sections. I am also interested in tutoring Conversational Spanish at a beginner level.In my free time, I am an avid live music enjoyer! I also spend as much time with my friends and family outdoors, whether that is exploring the city of Pittsburgh, trying new foods, or going on a walk around campus.

I love connecting with children while watching them grow academically. School can be difficult and I try to provide the best services to facilitate learning in a fun way! I have been working with students for over a year. I started my own tutoring business, "Tutor Vision", to help children overcome pandemic-style learning. I have over 2 years of experience working with Pre-K through Middle School children. I currently tutor private, public, charter, and homeschool students that need extra guidance in Math, English, History, Writing-Essays, Spanish, and so forth. My favorite subjects are English, reading, and history, as we are always learning!I am currently a Senior at Florida International University working towards my bachelor in Social Work Degree. In high school, I was in the International Baccalaureate (IB) and was able to graduate with the IB diploma. This was able to give me 27 college credits and a full ride to my university! I love being a tutor and I can't wait to help achieve your goals every step of the way!

I graduated from the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, receiving a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. I'm also certified as an Engineer-in-training, and I'm working towards making the jump to Professional Engineer. My areas of specialty in tutoring are Math and Science topics, with an emphasis on Engineering (I'm told I'm one of those weird people that actually like to do math in their everyday life). My way of tutoring is finding the humorous angle on otherwise dry topics to make it easier and more fun to understand. Ouside of tutoring and engineering, my hobbies are playing video games, tabletop role-playing games, and card games (they surprisingly have a lot of math in them!).

I am currently an undergraduate at Pennsylvania State University, and majoring in Psychology and Social Sciences. After I graduate I aspire to have a career in correctional psychology, where I can work with helping incarcerated individuals and their families with resources and rehabilitation.I have been tutoring Spanish, Algebra, and elementary school math since my freshman year of high school. I had the opportunity to work with K-12 students and Spanish speaking adults who are learning English to pass their citizenship. I believe that students learn better when they feel like they have a real relationship with their teachers. So, getting to know the student allows me to adapt my teaching methods based on their personality.Being a student who once needed a bilingual tutor, I know how valuable it is to have that skill. Having the opportunity to lift the pressure off of parents' shoulders to help their children is extremely rewarding, and is the reason why I tutor. I love giving back to my community and finding new ways to do so.

I am currently a student at Dartmouth College studying Biology, with a concentration on Human Biology. I tutor many subjects, but specialize in standardized test prep and in science, particularly Biology at all levels. I am most passionate about science, it is my favorite subject because it always has a definite answer but it might not be what you expect. At Dartmouth, I am a member of the marching band, Emergency Medical Services, and the sustainability program.

I am a fluent Spanish speaker with over 12 years of experience speaking and teaching the language. I learned Spanish through immersion in Guatemala, and believe that language is best learned with a combination of academic work, conversation, and fun.My teaching experience ranges from group classes to one-on-one instruction, and I work with all age ranges. I have over 10 years of experience in childcare, and work well with young children, teens, and adults.You can expect my sessions to include instruction, practice, conversation, and fun. I like to try to engage my students in topics they already enjoy while teaching them Spanish along the way. If you (or your child) have specific goals or resources you would like me to review or utilize, I am happy to do so.If you want to learn Spanish by attempting to memorize written phrases over and over again - I suggest another tutor. If you are ready to dive into the messy waters of learning by doing, speaking when you don't feel ready, and discovering the rich meaning behind the language you learn - I'd love to chat!

As a future special education teacher and current substitute teacher, I am excited to become a tutor with Varsity Tutors. I am currently enrolled in the MEd + Licensure special education program at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and am set to begin my studies in August of 2017.My background includes working as a substitute teacher during the 2016-2017 school year for multiple districts in Columbus, OH. These districts were urban, suburban, and rural in nature. I served as a substitute teacher in both general and special education classrooms at the elementary, middle, and high school level. In addition, I accepted two long-term assignments throughout the year; one in a special needs preschool classroom, and another in a math and reading resource room at the 3rd-5th grade level.Previously, while earning a bachelor's degree in Psychology, I worked as a tutor in the athletic department at West Virginia University. I conducted both individual and small group sessions, and created written study materials for my students. In my free time, I volunteered in a special needs Transition classroom at the University, and worked at a recreation center for individuals with disabilities in the Morgantown area.I am excited to be in the Chicagoland region and work in the urban setting. I am fully committed to working with a diverse group of students from many backgrounds and of all abilities. I believe my past experience and my dedication to education make me an ideal tutor!

I'm retired from a long career in international business, with over 25 years living and working in Latin America. When teaching Spanish, I carefully consider the student's personal goals for learning the language. Is it to be able to communicate at work? Prepare for a test? Read academic texts in Spanish? Prepare for a mission trip? The student's goals will always guide my teaching approach because our success will be measured by attaining those goals.

I graduated from the University of Georgia with a B.A. in Spanish and am passionate about helping other students learn the language! I have tutored student-athletes through the UGA Athletic Association, and have seen dramatic improvements in students' ability to understand Spanish grammar, mechanics and usage, as well as read, write, and speak in Spanish. I love seeing students get excited as they grasp the language and no longer find it frustrating or confusing!I am also passionate about helping students improve their SAT scores (specifically the Critical Reading and Writing sections), and I love editing essays. I have edited countless essays throughout my academic career--essays for specific classes, college applications, and even job applications. I love taking someone's writing and helping them rephrase sentences, fix grammatical errors, and ensure the most effective communication of ideas. When tutoring for the SAT, I help lessen students' anxiety by teaching them proven test-taking strategies and material specific to the SAT Critical Reading and Writing sections. I will continue to review the material and practice strategies with the student until he/she feels fully confident! I am very conscientious and thorough, and no matter what subject I'm tutoring, I will do everything in my power to help a student understand the material and gain confidence! I will put in time and effort to stay up to date on applicable material/ information, and I will work with each student to tailor my teaching to his/her learning style. I look forward to working with you!
