I'm Toni, a college English professor looking to help you better engage with your learning interests! As a professor, my teaching style emphasizes active learning as a central component, aiming to make my classes more centered on students discovering the material and constructing their own knowledge. In teaching and tutoring, I see myself more as a facilitator of learning who provides students the necessary tools and direction for them to uncover the concepts themselves. Soon we will engage in t...More

I'm a third year student in pharmacy school at the University of Houston College of Pharmacy. I have a bachelors degree in English from the University of Texas and English is my area of specialty.

I am also very knowledgeable about admission processes for graduate school, especially pharmacy. I like ...More

I am currently a freshman at the University of Texas at Austin. I am a biology major with a focus of going to medical school. I've taken various college courses from psychology to British literature while in high school, so I understand the need to switch to different learning and studying styles with each subject. My personal strengths in subjects include math (algebra 1 & 2), biology, and writing as well. I took a total of 3 college writing courses in high school and also wrote a strong person...More

I am a believer in the active learning model of education. Students can memorize as much as they wish, but learning requires that teachers find some way of allowing the student to apply what they have learned. In some subjects this is easier to achieve than in others, but in any interaction with a student, I try to make sure that the learning is as engaging and active as possible.

I received my BA in International Studies from Brown University. I have been tutoring since I was a sophomore at Brown University. I tutored elementary school students in math and Spanish. Later o...More

I am a student at Texas State University in San Marcos, TX working toward dual undergraduate degrees. In May of 2016 I will graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish. I traveled to Spain this past year to participate in a semester long study abroad program allowing me to be fully immersed in the Spanish language and culture. During my time abroad, I worked as a classroom assistant in the English classes taught by one of my professors to students ranging ...More

I'm eager to keep my hand in the field with Varsity Tutors. My other passions find me out on the pitch, drenched at Barton Springs, or languid in a Netflix puppy pile.

I am a graduate of Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in anthropology and English Literature in 2014. Since graduation, I have served one year as a K-2 literacy tutor with A Community for Education, and this past year I worked as a kindergarten teacher at IDEA Public Schools. I will be beginning a Masters Program in Education this fall at the University of Texas at Austin with a certification in teaching 7-12th English. My goal as a professional is to uni...More

I'm an undergraduate at UH-Clear Lake working on a B.S. in Mathematical Sciences. I've tutored for about two years now, including a year working at San Jacinto College's Math Center. It was a great experience because it was very busy and I got the chance to help dozens of students every day. However, I enjoy one-on-one tutoring the most because there is less pressure to help as many people as possible. Instead, I can focus on a single student for the entire session.

I'm a firm believer that being bilingual has set me up for success in the workplace and all generations should have access to learn even outside the realm of traditional school.
