I have always had a knack for seeing multiple solutions to a given problem (even receiving a little gag award for our fifth grade graduation, titled: "I have a better way to do that" award).In addition to the natural joy I get from tutoring, I also enjoy solving the puzzle of determining which solution method matches best with how each student learns and thinks.

I am a graduate of the Ohio State University where I received a Bachelors of Arts with a major in German. I have been studying German since I was 13 years old. I have also spent many months in Germany studying at the Goethe Institut Dresden and traveling all around the country. Foreign languages and linguistics are my passion. Aside from German, I have also studied French and Japanese. I have come to develop a real knack for understanding how languages work and how they relate. With this understanding, I have been able to tutor and help students from the Ohio State University and the neighboring Columbus State Community College with great success.My teaching philosophy is simple. I want to help people communicate freely without being self-conscious and to have fun while doing it. I like to encourage students to enjoy themselves and aid them in overcoming the often daunting task of learning a foreign language. Instead of a rigorous adherence to grammar, I believe students openly engaged in conversation will learn fluency and grammar simultaneously. Plus it is way more fun to actually speak a language then stressing over every little mistake with your nose stuck in a grammar book!I am a huge fan of sports with an extra level of risk. My father plopped me on a pair of skies shortly after I started to walk. When I was 7 I switched over to snowboarding, and at one time I was even recording videos hoping to become sponsored. I love whitewater canoeing and kayaking. I have yet to run any waterfalls, but I eagerly await the day I can! On a more peaceful note, I enjoy reading in my spare time, and I love playing my bass guitar. Music is something for which I have always had a deep love. Expressing myself through instruments has been another great passion for me.I really look forward to this experience and to helping students of German! I am happy to be a part of Varsity Tutors and can't wait to be working with future students!

I am a Biological Sciences major with a minor in Spanish studies at Clemson University. I am currently on the premedical track and I aspire to be a dermatologist! I am on the Presidents List, an award given to students who earn a 4.0, therefore I am confident in my knowledge. I love all things chemistry and am passionate in catering material to specific learning styles. I believe that I can further your academics and strengthen your understanding in the subject, all while providing practical examples!

I'm an adjunct college professor and faculty tutor for a diverse student body teaching Network Security & Computer Virtualization (the technology behind the Cloud). I tutor networking, virtualization & programming languages: C#, C++, Swift, Python, HTML, JS, CSS, bash.On campus, I give all my students a tour of the Digital Information Technology room where students can engage in extracurricular IT projects. This room is loaded with neat technology to inspire students to see the IOT (internet of things), make friends playing video games on a homemade arcade console, work on digital whiteboard or play with a Cisco 10g switch. It's an incubator for student development.I find teaching very fulfilling. I like the idea of teaching, inspiring & enabling students to succeed. I like the idea of teaching a concept that will echo in their minds for decades to come.In addition to being an AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate & an AWS Certified Developer Associate, I am also an AWS Academy Accredited Educator giving me access to official teaching materials from AWS. I have also vetted a test bank to be the most reliable source of test questions & have gone beyond that to annotate the confirmed correct answer and comments on why the other answers are incorrect. This understanding of the test questions in their entirety not only teaches the material but goes far into assuring exam certification success.My proudest accomplishment since I started working for Varsity Tutors was when I recently increased a 610 score to a 735 (720 is passing) over 14 sessions in 30 days. I know I can do this again.My teaching philosophy is that regardless of the reason for a student's low aptitude for a subject whether it be due to poor fundamentals, a lack of focus etc., all can be cured by raising the interest quotient. If I can get a student to see the magic in world around us and teach that student how the magic trick works, they get hooked and want to know more.Aside from academics, my interests include playing pool, hanging out with my girlfriend and her dogs, IOT (internet of things) & home appliance repair.

I am excited about this opportunity to help aid you towards your goals. Let me tell you about myself. I have a Bachelors of Economics degree from U-Mass Amherst. Few years after college, I decided to change my career and dive into the Information Technology field. Today, I am a certified Cyber Security Professional. I hope I can be of help towards everyone!

Hi, I'm Alex. I'm currently a pre-medical student with a Bachelor's in Neuroscience from Emory University and a Master's in Biology from Mississippi College. I've been studying the natural sciences for the better part of my academic career. I consider myself an interactive learner and a passionate teacher. I know how hard things like biology, chemistry, physics and math can be but once I realized how to break them down piece by piece I saw that there was no concept that I couldn't conquer. I finally saw the big picture of things. Let me show you!

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!

I believe firmly that learning and exam preparation is a journey and I like to help students create their own path. I am a graduate of Loyola University Chicago, where I majored in political science. I am currently a law student at Chicago-Kent College of Law, and aspire one day to practice corporate law with a focus on financial compliance.I grew up in Silicon Valley and have seen what intense pressure to succeed does to young minds. Given my life experiences, I told myself that if I ever were to tutor, I would do so to assure students that everything would be okay and to work with them in a reduced-stress environment. My top three goals are to give students skills to succeed in life, to help them manage stress during this trying time in their lives, and to give them guidance for future success.My biggest joy in tutoring comes from working with students to figure out what works best for them and building relationships with them. Tutoring to me isn't just about giving information for them to recycle for a test, but rather giving students longstanding skills for problem-solving, exam preparation, and navigating high school and college.In addition to working with students on content for exams, I also program calculator programs for TI-84 calculators so that students can spend more time on problems that may take up more time.In my free time (when I have it), I work on curriculum for students, spend time with my friends and cat, and enjoy watching Frasier and Portlandia.

My passion for teaching and creating outstanding educational opportunities for all students has guided my career. Not only have I worked as a teacher and an advocate, but I have modeled the importance of education by earning three Master's degrees: an MBA from Columbia Business School, an MA in Education Leadership from Teachers College at Columbia University, and an MA in Teaching Adolescent Math from Pace University.My formal teaching experience began in 1999, when I managed and taught reading, writing, and math skills at a tutoring center. From there, I went on to graduate school, which I followed with two years teaching middle and high school math in New York City Public Schools. During graduate school, having scored in the 98th percentile with a perfect writing score, I became certified to teach the GMAT by a private test preparation company, and taught that test to several small classes in Manhattan and Brooklyn.I am in the process of launching a small business. So in my spare time, I want to continue connecting to students by tutoring various subjects from math to English to test prep. As for test prep, I believe that most standardized tests don't test your ability in their stated subjects as much as they do your ability to take those tests. Therefore, it is critically important to teach not just the basic skills, but the ability to succeed on the test as well. I have been very successful in significantly raising students' scores in the past, and I look forward to doing the same for you.When I'm not teaching, my hobbies are skiing, boating, and spending time with my two young boys.

Hello, My name is Ashley and I love learning. Education is the most important aspect of a successful future. I wish to share my love of learning with others.
