I am a graduating senior at the University of Richmond, studying Communications and Media Studies with minors in Business Administration and Film Studies. I've worked as a Writing Consultant and Peer Advisor for the last two years, assisting my classmates with writing skills and career documents.I love helping students reach their full potential and devising fun ways to teach and learn.

I am a recent graduate of Boston University, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Secondary Social Studies Education. I have my Massachusetts teaching license for History, grades 5-12. For my student teaching practicum, I taught American History and US Government at a high school just south of Boston. I also spent four years working at the Boston University Undergraduate Admissions Office and therefore am well versed in the college application admissions process. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about History, Government, and college prep. I thoroughly enjoy working with students and feel that good learning only happens through a solid foundation of understanding if you don't understand Algebra 2, then you can't learn Calculus. Similarly, if you never learned about the Revolutionary War and the creation of the Constitution, then you can't properly learn about US Politics and Government. Additionally, I believe that a quality education is the key to not only a successful but a fulfilling and happy life. I am an avid politico and am currently working at a government affairs firm in downtown Washington, D.C; eventually I would like to have a job in education policy. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling to visit friends and family, running, hiking, and exploring Washington, D.C. Go Terriers!
I am a passionate educator with a Bachelor's in History from Boston University, specializing in World History, Creative Writing, Essay Editing, and Public Speaking. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel encouraged to express their ideas and grow in confidence. I believe that every student has unique strengths, and I strive to tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. I am dedicated to helping students develop critical thinking skills and articulate their thoughts effectively, which fuels my motivation to teach. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading historical fiction and exploring new cultures, which further enriches my teaching and connects me with my students' interests.

As a current International Relations student at Boston University, I am passionate about education and communication, which drives my commitment to tutoring. With experience in teaching AP English and Spanish, I focus on building students' confidence through tailored lessons that align with their individual learning styles and goals. My teaching approach emphasizes engagement and accessibility, utilizing diverse methods such as visual aids and hands-on activities to enhance comprehension. I believe in empowering students not just academically, but also in developing their motivation and enthusiasm for learning. Being fluent in Spanish, I am excited to support students in mastering both language and literacy skills. In my free time, I enjoy being active on the varsity crew team, which has strengthened my leadership and teamwork skillsqualities I strive to bring into my tutoring sessions.
I'm a recent graduate from Boston University with a BA in Linguistics and a double minor in Anthropology and Clinical Speech Therapy. During my sophomore year of college, I made the decision to get on track to pursue speech therapy as my career out of my love of mentoring and fascination with language. I had my own humble beginnings in South Florida juggling AP tests and marching band at Cypress Bay High School, where I first had the opportunity to learn from and teach my peers subjects ranging from Calculus to English Literature to Jazz Theory. I will be returning to Boston in the Fall to pursue an MS in Speech-Language Pathology at Northeastern University.My teaching philosophy revolves around speaking to students' strengths and building flexible understanding of fundamentals. From grammar to statistics, any subject can be made approachable once a student knows the rules and understands the reasoning behind them. It would be a pleasure to work with you or your child.
I received a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from the University of Missouri and I'm currently pursuing a Master's degree in Social Work from Boston University. I tutor a broad range of subjects, but my expertise is in math and physics. My niche is working with students who have ADHD and I believe that my patient, positive, and firm approach to tutoring is what helps my students overcome their learning challenges.
Hello! My name is Sara, and I am a graduate of American University with a B.S in Biology. I will begin my program where I will receive my Masters in Medical Science at Boston University Medical School in the fall. I am originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I began tutoring lower and middle schoolers in English, Maths and Science, and organizational and study techniques. In college, I worked as a supplemental instructor (SI). I held weekly review sessions outside of class and helped students prepare for tests, quizzes, labs, and pending homework assignments. I also worked with students in the local high school and college to develop personal statement ideas, how to write personal statements, and edit them.I love to use different strategies to help convey information and enjoy explaining topics in many different ways until something clicks. Working with students on educational topics is extremely important and crucial to understanding material. Still, I also think introducing new and upcoming study techniques can help make studying more fun and even easier to do! I believe learning should be engaging, fun and leave the student with new confidence in the material. I am excited and hope to show you when we work together how to bring joy to learning.
I have always enjoyed helping others with their studies, beginning with my six children and their experiences from Kindergarten through College. I patiently listen to students so I can assist them by learning in ways that they can understand.
MATH!!!! I love MATH. and I can try to help you love it too (probably not as much as me). If I can't make you love it, I can at least teach you how to use it. There are many different ways to teach and learn math and I can find the right way for you. I have vast experience working with all types of students and subjects, and I know that I can find the right way for you!
Hi! I am Florida State and Boston University graduate. I received a Bachelor of Arts in English and Humanities from FSU followed by my Master of Arts in Teaching from BU. I am a certified Language Arts/English teacher who is passionate about making an impact through education. I have led my students to great gains in the classroom with a combination of hard work, targeting misconceptions, catering learning styles to specific needs, and focusing on improving specific skills (rather than a general concept). I believe that for great teaching to take place, there needs to be a deep knowledge of both the subject and the student. I will work hard to get to know students and their individual interests; relationship building will be a foundation for the work we do together. I also have high expectations and will push us both to work hard to achieve the student's immediate and long-term academic goals.I have experience teaching in a charter school in New England, an inner-city school in Boston, a private college preparatory school in Virginia, and a public school in Florida. All of those experiences with students have granted me deep insight into cultivating success. I am passionate about building a student's self-confidence, working deeply with a text, and watching an essay develop.When not working with students, I am walking my favorite park, on my yoga mat, hanging out with my family, listening to podcasts, writing in my journal, reading a book, or listening to peaceful ambient music.
I love making information and knowledge accessible to learners of any age, and I believe students of every age can learn. I am passionate about teaching because there is so much wonderful and fascinating information available to us in any field a student might be interested in, be it math, science, English, American and European history, art, or another field.I received my Bachelor's degree in History from Brandeis University, and my Master's degree in Education from Boston University with a specialty in teaching English as a Second Language. As an ESL teacher, I met students from all over the world, including adult immigrants who were starting new lives in the United States. I also worked with students in every grade level of public school, from kindergarten to 12th grade. It was deeply rewarding to help immigrants to the U.S. learn the English language and adapt to life in their new country. I found that my ongoing curiosity about different fields of study and my knowledge of history made me a better ESL teacher. For example, if I couldn't think of a synonym for a word or concept, I could offer an example from history or art. My ongoing interest in history also helped me establish rapport with my students, as they were pleased that I knew something about their native countries.Many of my students of English as a Second Language had to take the SAT exam, so I branched out into tutoring for that test as well as other standardized tests. I know those tests are challenging, but I have helped quite a number of students improve their scores.Outside of teaching, my interests include classical and world music and dance, including classical forms of dance from India. I also love to cook, and am always trying new recipes. I look forward to meeting more wonderful students as I work for Varsity Tutors.
