In the area of math, I apply my background having spent extra-curricular time in math clubs and taking classes outside of public school instruction, like number theory and history of math, to make math an interesting, rewarding and practical subject for my students. In the area of reading and writing, I am familiar with teaching and evaluation methods to identify and help reading and writing issues, including reading strategies, like reviewing and summarizing, and writing strategies, like story maps, free writing, genre writing, and voice writing.As a tutor for your child, I am committed to learning about your child's personality, interests, and learning styles, and work to make the content relevant and engaging so that your child will gain the confidence, on top of the practice to flourish in their target subjects.

I graduated from Brigham Young University-Idaho with a Bachelor's in Health Science with an emphasis on public health. I started tutoring in high school, but I didn't catch the teaching bug until about 3 years ago when I started teaching music to children.I believe in extra-curriculars and the arts. Whether it's sports, music, art, or theater, I believe those things are what make life worth living. For me, I play the French Horn and snowboard.My motto is ???Sometimes you need to go the extra mile. Do the extra credit. Be more than your peers expect you to be. Set the bar high and don???t be afraid to fail. Failure leads to success.???Let me be the one who helps you achieve your academic goals. I have been on both sides of the road. On one side is instant success. The other is where I see my classmates get ahead where I have fallen behind. I have had to struggle and work my way up. I know what it???s like to do the homework and read the chapters but still fail the test.I love inspiring people. It takes a lot of effort, but what makes it all worth it is seeing the light in their eyes when something starts to click.Pick me, and I will reignite your passion for learning.

I am a graduate of the University of Missouri and received my Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering, with a Business minor. I have a wide range of tutoring experiences in many subjects, but my strengths lie in mathematics, science, and ACT test prep areas. Having struggled myself the first time I took standardized tests, I understand that even with a solid knowledge foundation tests like the ACT require a substantial amount of exam specific preparation. While my engineering background provides me the opportunity to tutor more advanced math, science, and engineering subjects, I enjoy helping students of all ages and ability levels learn. In my free time, I love to play sports, ski and travel and have been to many countries including Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Argentina, France, Greece, and more.

I have been teaching and tutoring for more than 22 years. Math has always been my favorite subject. I have enjoyed helping students attain a better understanding of math. I am certified to teach mathematics in both Florida and Maryland. I currently have a B.S. and M.S. in Mathematics Education. I have teaching experience ranging from the middle school to the community college level, as well tutoring experience from the elementary school to the community college level. I work very well with everyone. I am very patient and will take my time to make sure all students have complete understanding of the material.

After I retired from being a research biologist and university professor, I started tutoring. I love it when a student has an aha moment and I know that the student understands a concept that was a mystery to them previously. I have the ability to take concepts and teach them in different ways. I tailor my tutoring to fit the learning style of the student. I think that is really important because it is very hard for a visual learner to learn from just listening. I also engage the student in learning. For example, having them label a diagram that I have just talked about. Most important -I encourage my students to ask questions, make comments, even disagree with me. I like making math and science come alive for students. I have successfully worked with elementary, middle school, and high school students. I am also the mother of a 16 year old high school student.

I recently graduated from SUNY Old Westbury with a BS in Elementary Education/Special Education. I believe with the proper tools and guidance, every student can have a meaningful educational experience. My philosophy is that each and every student learns at his or her own pace and each with their own style. It is my job to find out which methods work best for each student. Currently, I am working with a 1st grade student who has Autism. I go to her home in the mornings before school and go through a therapy program decided on by her parents and my input. Over the last year, her parents have been receiving news of her progress from the school staff. While providing therapy, I am also tutoring her to keep her up to date on homework and assignments. I love every opportunity I receive to work with students one-on-one. It is amazing what results can be seen with a little patience, hard work, and consistency!

I have been working in the math field for over 40 years, on all levels. I absolutely love what I do, which is helping individuals get over the math hurdle and achieve their goals! Currently I teach at a college but also really enjoy working with students in an one-on-one setting. I am confident I can help you with any math needs and you might actually start to love the subject!My interests when I am not teaching/tutoring are: spending time with family, music, travel, and a nice glass of wine.

I went to Occidental College for a Bachelor of Arts in Politics, Cleveland State University for my Teaching License and Master of Education, with certifications in Special Education Lindamood Bell Phonics and Reading Instruction. I have experience teaching for seven years, working with students from Elementary school through High school. I have experience tutoring one on one with High school math, social studies, and English, as well as small group tutoring with elementary students working on reading and writing. I have also worked with elementary students on phonics and reading comprehension in private tutoring.I am confident tutoring Phonics, Writing, English, Grammar and Mechanics Arithmetic, Pre-Algebra, Math, Reading, Social Studies, American History, and Special EducationI believe that all students have the right and ability to learn. It is my job to find a teaching strategy that will give my students access and understanding of skills and concepts. A teacher and student should be partners in learning and both contribute to the learning environment.I enjoy Reading, Mysteries, Nonfiction, and Science Fiction. I also like sports, including Golf, Swimming, Soccer, All Cleveland Professional Teams, and Skiing. For entertainment, I watch Action and Adventure Movies, Comic Book Movies, and Pokemon, and I listen to Top 40 Music.

I have been a classroom teacher at the elementary level for three years and am highly dedicated to what I do. I believe my job, as an instructor, is to create an atmosphere that fosters learning. I am an instructor because I am dedicated to guiding students through the learning process, in addition to a passion for the material I present. One of the best ways to foster learning is to demonstrate those feelings to my students. I encourage learning by creating a relaxed environment for students, stimulating conversation about concepts being presented and organizing material in a way that makes it easiest to understand. I treat subject matter as interconnected, emphasizing that everything students are learning fits together into a holistic understanding of the world, from which they develop their personal worldview. Finally, I believe that respect for my students is one of the most important things I can show - not only to encourage their openness to the material I am presenting, but also to inspire them to respect each other and all other people.One of the most important concepts I hope to convey to students is that learning is a process that never ends. For me, the learning process includes improving myself professionally. I want to read more about formal learning theories to understand more thoroughly how learning takes place. Finally, I plan to experiment with different methods and means of presenting information to students I tutor in order to improve the learning atmosphere I create for each individual student.

I am a graduate of Purdue University with a BS in Accounting and Depaul University with a MBA in Management Information Systems. I am a native of the south suburbs of Chicago and currently live in Atlanta. I have a decade+ career as an analyst (financial and data) for the Federal Reserve Bank System. I've always had a strong interest in helping children reach their goals and volunteered for over a decade with the nonprofit Ladies of Virtue, NFP. I have 6 mentees and served as co-facilitator of the high school program for 3 years. I look forward to helping my Varsity Tutor students achieve their goals.
