In 2007 and in 2005 I received an MBA and Bachelor of Information Technology from American Intercontinental University in Houston, Texas respectively. In 1996 I was awarded a Bachelor of Science With Education degree from Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda.My tutoring experience goes way back to 1990 when I was in high school. I tutored my fellow classmates and students from other classes or schools in the district. When I joined University in 1992, my room would always fill with colleagues lining up to get tutored. During my freshman year at Makerere University, my former high school Math teacher started his own school and offered me a teaching position in Math and Physics which I accepted and enjoyed teaching. After graduating in 1996, for five years I taught Math, Physics and Introductory Computer Science at one of the best schools in Uganda, Mt. St. Mary's College Namagunga.I also worked in manufacturing and oil and gas for some successful businesses in Houston, Texas. However, I never lost the passion to teach and tutor students. In 2009 I became an Adjunct Instructor at ITT Technical institute, Webster, Texas where I currently teach full time.My favorite subjects to teach and tutor are Mathematics and Information Technology. I love to solve problems especially those that require calculations or logical reasoning as in Mathematics. I also like to work with my hands and I find Information Technology not only fulfilling but rewarding as well. I also enjoy having and applying concepts in Physics to explain natural phenomena.Regarding my teaching philosophy, I strongly believe that learning is a continuous life process. In any setting, all the individuals are constantly interacting in numerous ways with their environment, learning new concepts and consolidating old ones. All of us in this environment are learners and a suitable way to help an individual learn a concept is to expose the depth to which the individual knows the concept and then build on that. You can only get to this point by understanding the learner's position.I have a wide range of things that interest me. The main ones include: tennis, volleyball, music, photography, puzzles, scrabble and Fine Arts.

I am a graduate of Piedmont College and American Intercontinental University. I hold an MBA in Marketing and I am certified in Special Education general curriculum as well as Math. During my time as a teacher, I have learned to differentiate my lesson based on students' skill levels and exceptionality. I have taught algebra, geometry, and precalculus as a resource teacher for special education as well as in a general classroom setting. I have a great deal of experience teaching students of all levels with different learning styles and I've developed a passion for it.

I have been working in education for the past eighteen years. I have tutored a variety of subjects ranging from elementary school to high school.My area of concentration is mathematics however, I am state certified in the state of Texas to teach all subjects grades 4-8. I also have an ESL certification.There is nothing better than seeing a child finally understand a concept! Being able to make impact on a young persons life is my driving force.It is my belief that all children can and want to learn. Learning is the avenue to opportunities. It is my job to provide access points to children in order for them to grasp the information.My background in education, helps me to scaffold material while presenting lessons in creative ways. This helps the student to better understand the concept in different ways.

I am a graduate of North Carolina A&T State University. I graduated with a degree in Romance Languages and Literature, Spanish. I also have a Master of Education in Instructional Technology from American InterContinental University. I've been teaching for 21 years. I taught English as a Second Language during the first 4 years of my career and the rest of my career has been spent teaching Spanish. I have taught Spanish at the elementary through high school levels. I enjoy seeing students reach their full potential with assurance, patience, and guidance. I value growth over grades in the sense that if you focus on the learning the grades will take care of themselves. I love to incorporate instructional strategies that best fit the student's needs. As an MYP/IB Spanish teacher I love to also incorporate the IB philosophy of teaching which incorporates approaches to learning skills such as communication, research, critical thinking, social, and self-management and the IB learner profile traits of being inquirers, thinkers, risk-takers and reflective. There are more IB learner profile traits but in the tutoring sessions I like to gently push my students in these areas and encourage them to focus on one skill during their regular class in order to help them advocate for themselves and gain knowledge in the classroom and be confident learners. When we meet for tutoring I like to follow up on how well students are not only learning the content but also developing their learner profile traits and using their approaches to learning skills. When students leave sessions with me I want them to leave empowered and motivated to be learn. When I'm not in the classroom I absolutely love running long distances. The longest distance I have run is a half marathon! When I'm not running I am happily gardening and spending time with my family. I have a wonderful husband, three daughters, one in college, one in elementary school, and the littlest one is in pre-school! I hope to connect with you soon. Let's get growing!

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
