I am very nerdy and it would be a lie to say that it does not influence my teaching skills. I use different pop cultural references to explain a concept more thoroughly or rally motivation when needed. Though I am a nerd, teaching and student retention is always my first priority. I have been teaching higher education public speaking courses for the past three years and have seen and practiced the various ways in which students learn and engage in the course material. In my classes, I try to eng...More

I am passionate about the opportunities education opens, and I love helping students succeed! I have tutored a variety of age ranges and skill levels, primarily in math. I enjoy taking a "goal oriented" approach to tutoring, in which the student and I can break down our main goal into smaller goals. My approach allows students to feel less overwhelmed, while giving them a foundation to begin solving problems themselves. There is no problem your student and I cannot tackle!

I'm a junior at MIT pursuing a B.S. in Computational Neuroscience, and a B.S. in Philosophy. Starting in high school, I have served in a multitude of teaching/tutoring roles, including: tutoring all levels of high school math (from pre-algebra to AP Calculus BC); teaching a six-week class on psychology to underserved high school students in the Boston area; teaching chemistry, biology, and computer science at a STEM summer camp to 6th-9th graders; working as a TA in a college-level philosophy se...More

I am a teacher with a highly qualified license. I am currently teaching 5th grade accelerated students. Teaching is a great passion of mine! I am truly inspired by being a part of the academic and personal growth that students experience; it is priceless! I have experience in working with accelerated G.A.T.E (gifted and talented) students, as well as students who are struggling below grade level. I strongly believe that many students simply need a different perspective when trying to understand ...More

I am excited to work with Varsity Tutors! I have a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Health Care Administration. Currently in school for my Doctorate of Education in Organizational Leadership with an Emphasis on Health Care Administration. I am a mother of 2 girls 23 & 19 and an 8 year old son. I am the author of the children's book, "Why Me Mommie"(based on a true story).

I am currently a high school teacher in Las Vegas, Nevada. The reason I have chosen to tutor with Varsity Tutors is in order to treat this like an extension of the very job I love doing so much--teaching. I believe that I have learned many ways to connect with students the past few years, giving each one the individual attention they need in order to help them realize their potentiality as a life-long learner. I think that really is the ongoing goal of education: to be a life-long learner who ne...More

I am excited to help elementary and middle school students (online or in person) in the area of reading and writing. Especially those that struggle with reading, as I have worked with not only my own children in this area, but students who have fallen behind or just need that extra ENTHUSIASM with reading! Reading is fundamental to be successful in all subjects!! I feel that by becoming a proficient reader-which means to enjoy, comprehend and analyze, a student can succeed in all subjects. In to...More
