Award-Winning Tutors from American College of Education

As a passionate educator with a Doctorate in Educational Leadership, I bring over 20 years of tutoring and classroom experience to my work. I specialize in Elementary School Math, Reading, and ESL/ELL, and I am dedicated to creating a supportive learning environment that fosters student engagement and success. My teaching philosophy centers on understanding each student's unique needs and adapting my methods to help them thrive academically.

I believe in the possibility of one of a very popular slogan. That slogan is, "every student can learn, every student must learn". Regardless of the difficulty level of the Math content that I teach on a daily basis, I often use understandable algorithms or steps in solving these problems. Due to my extensive training as a Math educator, I am able to devise simple steps to teach complex topics in Math. I utilize my pedagogical skills gained from my training and experience. I was trained to teach students from first grade to college. I also host community summer school to cater to the needs of struggling students. I meet them where they are and then develop them into students who are able to perform at or above grade level.

I have been a teacher for over 20 years. I focus 10 years in first grade and I'm currently a title one reading interventionist. I am dedicated to helping students become confident and successful. I like to make learning fun

I'm a history educator with a Master's in technology education, bringing nine years of experience to the classroom. My love for history stems from its power to cultivate awareness and appreciation for diverse cultures, both past and present. It's not just about memorizing dates it's about the real people and events that have shaped our world. I'm fascinated by how history empowers us to be informed citizens. By understanding the past, we can better navigate the present and work towards a more positive future. Technology excites me as a tool to revolutionize learning and make knowledge accessible to everyone. In my free time, I'm an avid traveler, reader (especially non-fiction and true crime!), and documentary enthusiast. My passion extends to the athletic field, where I coach track and basketball. I believe in fostering a well-rounded learning experience, and I'm always looking for innovative ways to engage students! I also appreciate how technology has the power to transform how we learn! My strengths are creating lessons, videos, projects and assessments that spark creativity in genuine thought beyond the classroom. I believe every student learns differently and has core strengths that stretch beyond standardized methods. I look forward to working with students who are open to learning history in a new light!

I am a high school interventionist in Northern Delaware and I absolutely love what I do! This is my third year in the profession and I'm certified to teach in PA, DE, and VA. I think learning should be fun, yet educational, so I like to do a lot of hands-on activities to spark student's interests. I hold high expectations for my students, but am personable and easy-going in my presentation of lesson material. My favorite subject to teach is Math, but I love the process of writing, too. Seeing a student succeed is one of the best parts of what I do. Nothing is better than witnessing that "AHA!" moment when it just clicks. Little moments like that are the reason I love what I do.

I feel excited to learn about the prospective of the opportunity to tutor. My qualifications and background would be an excellent match for elementary and middle school students.

I am a graduate from American College of Education where I receive a Master of Education in Integrated Curriculum with a focus of Study in Early Childhood Education Special Education. I have been an educator for over ten years where I teach students at the lower elementary level both in the USA and Jamaica. The subject areas that I have taught are Reading, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. However, I am very passionate about reading. My passion embrace my personal philosophy which states' if the proper foundation is not laid the entire superstructure will tumble' with that said I am a strong believer in getting it right from the start and once students garner the fundamental skill in reading it would be easier to learn other subject areas. I have tutor students who have difficulty with reading and as result their reading levels improve tremendously and in most case they past their standardize test with superseding marks. My lessons are created in such a way that craters to the needs of my students while delivered in a fun matter which will allow my students to enjoy learning. Children are the future of any society; has an educator it is my responsibility and believe to prepare students for the future by empowering them with the knowledge and skills needed to be successful and productive member of society and education is one sure way in which students can be adequately prepare for the future.

With a Master's degree in Education and a passion for empowering learners, I have dedicated my career to fostering growth and confidence in students. My experience spans teaching English, History, Civics, and Social Studies, with a specialized focus on English as a Second Language (ESL). I am currently an ESL teacher and have extensive experience working in cyber schools, which allows me to effectively engage students in diverse and dynamic learning environments. My educational journey began with my undergraduate studies, which ignited my passion for teaching and culminated in a master's degree in education. Over the years, I have worked as a History Instructor and an AmeriCorps Teacher, which provided me with invaluable insights into different teaching methodologies and student needs. I am passionate about tutoring subjects like English and History, as they offer rich opportunities for critical thinking and personal expression. My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that education is a transformative process. I aim to create a supportive and interactive learning environment where students feel encouraged to explore and achieve their potential. I employ Honest, Actionable, and Timely (HAT) feedback to ensure students receive constructive insights that propel their learning journey. Outside academia, I enjoy contributing to my community through volunteering at the local Food Pantry and Community Garden. These activities complement my teaching, providing a broader perspective on service and empathy. I am excited to bring my expertise to Varsity Tutors, helping students unlock their potential and achieve their academic goals.

My career goal is to utilize my dedication to children's educational needs and that will allow me to stimulate creativity, teach new skills, and encourage life experiences in a way that increases student success. I have been in education for over 10 years. I have taught 1st grade to 8th grade General Education and Special Education Inclusive classrooms. I am currently the ESE Program Specialist for a middle school.

The key to truly understand a culture is to learn its language. I grew up in Eastern Europe in a family where everyone spoke at least two languages. This circumstance made me appreciate the beauty, importance and usefulness of learning to speak different languages. As a result, I ended up studying languages in college and obtained a Bachelor's Degree in French and English. After moving to the US, I continued my studies and got a Master's Degree in Teaching English Learners (ESL). I have thirteen years of experience teaching French, English, Russian and Romanian to students of various ages(7-80 years old). I tutor several subjects in French, Russian, English and Romanian. I enjoy tutoring because it gives me the chance to practice all the languages I speak as well as work with people of different ages. I believe a tutor/teacher should have a flexible teaching style in order to meet his/her students' needs and goals for learning a language. In my free time, I like to read, work out, sew and hike with my family.

Math is my love language. Every part is my favorite. I have been tutoring since 1987. When tutoring, I meet the students where they are to bring their skills to the desired level.

I am a certified teacher with twelve (12) years of teaching experience Elementary Education. I am a dedicated, goal oriented individual with an eye for attention to details. I possess a Bachelors Degree in Education and a Masters of Education in Educational Leadership. Through extensive collaboration and partnership working with diverse student population, staff, school community partners and parents, I have gained immeasurable knowledge in planning, organizing, and implementing successful strategies, and best practices to lead in my profession.I am fully knowledgeable of the Common Core Curriculum used in Elementary schools along with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. As a teacher, I have prepared students for the North Carolina elementary end of grade tests and the Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT) in Jamaica. I am a Science item test writer and reviewer for the North Carolina State University.

During 4 years of teaching mathematics at many levels, from Algebra I-II including ACT Prep courses to K-8 math, as secondary education math teacher and as Title 1 math teacher, I have been constantly learning, gaining experience, and improving my professional practices. I present this experience, together with a commitment to continue learning and adjusting, to my future career as a teacher of mathematics. The most important takeaways throughout my teaching experience are (1) teaching of mathematics is not only teaching math facts but also being interactive and actively involving students in teaching and (2) believing the possibility to convey the same satisfying understanding in math to my students simply by using the right words to explain and being a role model for them. I believe that any student can be math person if they are provided flexibility to adapt. It is significant for a student to have core masteries in the math concepts which are taught in K-12. The only need is giving time and space to students to explore what is going on around them in regard with math and to teachers to develop and to grow. The point to be underlined here is for teachers to combine their own teaching practice and courage to admit. They need more time to remember what they know, to conceptualize what they teach, and to focus on deep understanding how they teach. It is critical to instill in our students that just because they may not be a "math person" yet, does not mean they cannot become one. There are many ways to open this door to students. As a math teacher, my goal is guiding them to pick the most appropriate way for themselves.

Every student is important. Every student can excel at any subject. Every student deserves someone who will help him/her reach their fullest potential. Complex subjects like math or language arts is a skill that can be strengthened with practice and engaging materials that are fun and apply to a child's individual needs and interests. It is my goal to help students reach their definitions of success while (hopefully!) having fun along the way.

I believe every student can learn and succeed. I want to make learning fun and accessible to all. I have a degree in Special and Elementary Education, and currently teach. I can help out with Math, Reading, Writing, Social Studies, and Science. Every student has a chance to learn in their own unique way! I teach math currently and elementary science. Fractions, decimals, ratios, proportions, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing are certain things I can help with. I have helped with reading comprehension, vocab, strategies.

I am a high school Spanish Teacher of 9 years who lived in Spain. I currently teach in a bilingual kindergarten class. I have taught beginning Spanish to advanced levels and created the AP curriculum for my former school. I got engaged in Puerto Rico and married in Mexico. I love to eat Mexican food, travel to Spanish speaking countries, and help others learn about the Hispanic culture and language. My teaching methods are communicative and content based. I love to share creative ways to remember material such as songs, rhymes, and acronyms.

I have nine years of experience teaching in the bilingual classroom. I have taught three different grade levels: pre-K, first grade, and third grade. I have implemented two different bilingual programs, "Regular Bilingual Classroom" and "Two-Way Dual Language." I have worked with students who functioned below, on, and above grade level. I have been very successful at meeting diverse students' needs by facilitating different learning strategies, offering individualized support, encouraging critical thinking, and integrating a variety of resources.Teaching in a bilingual classroom is challenging and motivating for any educator. Bilingual students are in need of special care and attention in the learning process throughout the year. Although some learners might have strong linguistic skills in their native language, they may have deficiencies in their second language; it is the task of the teacher to help guide the student through this learning process.

I am graduate of the Technological Institute of Merida, in Mexico where I received my bachelor in Computer Science. Since graduation I got married and move to live to Orlando, Florida in the US where I attended Valencia College to obtain my Professional Educators Certificate from the state of Florida. Later on, I obtained my masters in Curriculum and Instruction with Bilingual Specialization from the American College of Education. I was very active with the Parents Leadership Councils formed by parents of students who speak other languages than English. I have traveled to places such as San Jose, California to participate in a Bilingual Conference for Educators. I started my career as a middle and high school math teacher in Mexico, but fell in love teaching elementary and middle grades students in Florida. I am passionate about teaching in general, but math is my strong suit. I have taught second and third grades, the whole curriculum, fourth and fifth grade math and science, first trough fifth grades remediation math, and briefly Algebra 1 in ninth grade. I have tutored students in math and reading in grades 2nd through 5th at school site and middle school math at home. I have enjoyed the same tutoring students that struggle with math as well as the ones who wanted enrichment. I try to instill the love for learning and the love for math in my students.

My professional career starts at the University of South Florida where I majored in Social Science Education with a minor in Africana Studies. Each summer I either worked at an academic summer camp in Miami with kids Grades 3-5 or at a Nike Sports Camp in Boston with kids 8-18. My first teaching gig was with Economics in Grade 12 and Special Education with a focus on Math. I added the Math Grades 6-12 to my teaching certification and I've been teaching math ever since. I taught 5 years in Florida but also spent 6 years in Qatar teaching secondary math from grades 6-12. I was also at an IB school where I'm familiar with IB MYP and DP Math AI SL. Now I'm back in Florida ready for the new challenges in front of me. I can tutor everything from Special education to Geography to Grade 3 math all the way up to Pre-Calculus. I can even sprinkle in some beginner level French. I'm open to students of all kinds of backgrounds and would love to be your next tutor.

I have been a teacher in Florida for the past 9 years and enjoy working with diverse students and help them reach their full potential. As a tutor, I am committed to meeting the individual needs of my students with dedication and guide them to achieve academic excellence.

Math as a subject is not everyone's cup of tea, but it really is not the hardest subject on earth. I have been fascinated about Math since I was in high school, the fact that to be good in Math needs practice and just practice, amazes me as to why people fail Math. It only needs time, and that is time for practice and making sure that you can understand the skill behind the questions. Mastering of the steps in order to solve a question comes from the time, the practice and the patience that you will give the process. Skills and Concepts are easy to master as long as one is willing to acquire and retain so that one can recall if presented with a similar problem. The more practice one does, the better a person becomes and I believe that nothing is impossible.

The choice to be an educator came from my believe that every student can learn. Our responsibility as educators is to meet our students where they are, illustrate their learning to the real world, and carry them on a learning path that teaches them how to love learning. Learning is a lifelong skill that provides tools for our students to thrive in the real world and learn the confidence needed to success in any career they choose. Learning is the most important craft we can learn while in school, it is what paves our road to success.

It is my belief that all students can learn and thrive when given the right supports, resources, encouragement, and environment. I feel it is my job to empower students to believe in their ability to accomplish anything they are willing to put the work into, even if they have to try over and over again.

My name is Kristin Schultz. I have taught in the elementary setting for 6 years.

I am teacher and has been for 7 years now. I attended Florida Atlantic University from my bachelor's degree. I went to American of College of Education for my master's degree. My bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. My master's is in Educational Leadership. On my teacher certificate, I am endorsed in English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and in Elementary Education K-6. I am working towards my reading endorsement and leadership certification. My tutoring experience is working with students from grade K to 7th. I have taught kindergarten to 5th grade. I have tutored subjects, such as reading, writing, and math. My favorite subjects are reading, writing and math. I like reading and writing because those subjects go hand and hand. In order to read, you need to decode (sound out) words. In order to write the words, you need to encode (to spell) words. When students learn to decode it supports his/her encoding. These are two different skills to teach. Math is another one because there is always more than one way to solve a problem. My mission is to make sure you reach your goal and equip you with tools to be self efficient. I love to enrich minds and help students who are looking for additional support to better their education. When the student(s) and I are working on a problem, I will see different methods to solve a problem or what conceptions him/her may have and that needs to be corrected. Students and I take the beginning of the session to get to know each other and then I assess his/her weaknesses and strengths in the subject matters. I assess varies skills and strategies in each subject. I give 10-15 minutes for a break to have student use the bathroom, stretch or get a mental relief. I give students time to apply skills/strategies that were taught. I am determined to make sure information is convey to my clients. I advocate and work for my students. I am caring and thoughtful to people especially from different ethnicities. I am always willing to make a welcoming learning environment.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and a Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on Bilingual Education. I have endorsements for Spanish, TESOL/ESL/Bilingual Education, and Literacy/Reading Specialist on my teaching licenses. I have taught Spanish, Humanities, Adult Basic Education, GED, Reading, Grammar, and ELL/ESL. I have taught children and adults and really enjoy watching a person's confidence grow along with their knowledge.

Teaching has been a lifelong passion stemming from my love of language arts and literature. Throughout my extensive career, I have shared this love with countless students, instilling in them an appreciation for the written word. I recognize that language arts and literature play a crucial role in students' intellectual and emotional development, as they provide windows into diverse cultures, histories, and perspectives. My dedication to teaching aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge to navigate the complexities of the world around them. I strive to create engaging and inclusive learning environments that foster curiosity and inquiry, encouraging students to explore the rich tapestry of human experiences found in literature. I am committed to lifelong learning and actively seek opportunities to further my professional growth and development. Moving forward, I am excited to continue inspiring a love for language arts and literature in future generations, providing them with the tools necessary to thrive in an ever-changing world
