Award-Winning Tutors from Brigham Young University-Provo

I am a graduate of Brigham Young University where I majored in International Relations and Russian and of Thunderbird School of Global Management where I earned an MBA in International Business. My college and graduate studies include coursework in Writing, Literature, Geography, History, Political Science, Russian, Music, Business, Math, Science, and Art. Because of my experience with many different disciplines, I am able to teach a wide variety of subjects and have experience working with students of all ages from middle school to middle aged. My greatest skill as a tutor is the ability to adapt challenging material to the viewpoint of my students. This allows me to build bridges of understanding that help more analytical people feel at home in creative disciplines or vice versa. If you are a gifted artist struggling with Math, or an aspiring scientist struggling with creative writing, I'm your man! I am also a very experienced writer and editor. In my free time I enjoy hiking, literature, ultimate Frisbee, international travel, soccer, baking, music, strategy games, and philosophical discussions. I have lived in Africa, Western Europe, and Russia and visited over a dozen countries. Please note that due to the many different subjects I have studied, the list of classes above is not complete. If you have tutoring needs for a very specific subject, I may well have taken a course in that area. Feel free to reach out with questions!

Hi, my name is Linzie, and I want to help you! Having just graduated with my Bachelors Degree, I have recent and relevant experience that applies to your needs. I am passionate about offering personalized tutoring that goes at your pace and is tailored to your strengths. I have experience tutoring at all ages and levels, with a special emphasis in Spanish, English Language Learning, Phonetics, and Medical Terminology. I also am well-versed in the world of college admissions and applications--I'm currently applying to graduate school myself! Let's get started!

I am a geologist and environmental scientist with a Bachelors and Masters degree in Geology from Brigham Young University (BYU). I have a passion for learning and and I hope to instill that desire to learn in the younger generations. Professionally, I am a consultant in environmental investigation and remediation projects. However, and more importantly, I am a husband and father. I have two young children who have shaped me to become the best version of myself. Outside of work and family, I find myself really enjoying the outdoors and playing all kinds of sports. Put a racket or a ball in my hand and I'll always have a great time. As a tutor, I am here to share my love of geology and environmental science with students in need. My teaching philosophy revolves around helping students learn how to learn and how to love learning. I am a tutor to guide students in their learning path rather than be a fountain of information.

I am excited to get to know you and help you in your academic pursuits! I received a Bachelor of Science from BYU in Management and recently finished my Master of Medical Science degree from University of North Texas Health Science Center. In July, I will begin medical school at the University of Texas - Houston. I have a great love for learning in a broad variety of topics. I also enjoy playing and watching a variety of sports, as well as traveling with my wife and daughter.

When I lived in Taiwan I had to teach English to students and the thought that kept occurring to me is that: English is way harder than Mandarin!I mean sure ,they have tones and characters. but their grammar NEVER CHANGES (Sooooo nice) In Mandarin there is no "i before e exept after c" nonsense. That's one of the many beauties of the Chinese language it's much more direct than English. You're probably thinking . yeahh....but tones and characters is why mandarin is hard. What if I told you there are little hacks that make learning the material way easier. If we work together I will for sure let you know about them! So much easier than rote memorization! But what if school isn't your thing? That you are a slow learner?Here's the great part, That's what I thought about myself!s I barely graduated high school and now I'm studying to be a Professor of Asian languages at the hardest school in my home state ( a school that happens to have one of the top language programs in the United States.) What Changed? I started to learn on my own terms. So let me help you break your labels if that's the case! Let me and help you get a good score on the quiz if that's all you care about. WHATEVER it is, I want to hit YOUR goals! Because I know I can help you do that with Chinese! Can't wait to work with you!ps I hope you don't mind getting a Taiwanese accent because that's what I have .

I graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in Editing and Publishing in April of 2022. While at school, I had the opportunity to work with many students, tutoring them with their papers and helping them refine their writing style. I have also mentored over a hundred BYU first-year students from a wide variety of backgrounds. While I did not tutor them in their school subjects, I frequently gave pointers on how to do well in their specific classes. I am passionate about student success. Before attending BYU, I attended an online institution where I tutored my younger siblings for five years in a variety of subjectsfrom music to phonics and everything in between. I have also taught other students piano lessons as well. I have seen students who struggle blossom and understand the concepts they struggled with, which encourages me to keep going as a tutor. I am passionate about writing, reading, language arts, history, and music, but I also enjoy tutoring math, art, and science. My favorite subject to tutor is English because of the stories to analyze and the essays to craft. I love talking about English writers and discovering new ways to connect to their works. Every student has unlimited potential. As a mentor, I worked with the philosophy that my role was to help students fulfill their potential. As a tutor, my role is the same: to help all students achieve their learning potential. When not tutoring, I enjoy going on walks, practicing the piano, reading a good book, trying recipes in the kitchen, working on my current novel, or learning something new.

I've been teaching French in various settings for the past four years, and I'm currently getting my PhD in French Linguistics. I've taught and tutored all ages and all kinds of students, and I particularly enjoy teaching conversational French to people preparing to travel. I believe language learning is the most fun kind of learning, and I make sure that learning French is an enjoyable experience for my students. A lot of people are intimidated by the challenge of learning a new language, even though they already learned one when they were just a baby! I've seen time and again how when languages are taught properly, learning them goes from intimidating to exciting and fun. If you're feeling challenged by French, I can give you the guidance you need to make faster progress than you thought possible.

My tutoring style focuses on creating a positive writing experience for the writer. I ask a lot of questions both about the writer and the project they're working on, so my tutoring sessions often resemble conversations. As we discuss, I provide instruction about writing principles that the writer might benefit from knowing, drawing from various editing and writing resources in my editor-by-trade repertoire. I want writers to leave the tutoring session feeling confident about their paper and optimistic about writing in general. I want them to recognize their weaknesses and know how to improve them and ask for help. I want them to know that they don't have to suffer alone, that there are resources to help them revise individual papers, improve writing skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.

I'm a native Japanese speaker, born and raised in Kawasaki, Japan. I received my BA from Brigham Young University Provo where I taught Japanese over 200 students as a TA. Currently I have been working as an online Japanese tutor. I always try to do my very best to help my students learn Japanese in the most effective way. I love teaching, and I cherish every student I have. Growing up in an island like Japan, I was always interested in going abroad and learning different cultures. Fortunately, I had opportunities to study abroad in Australia, Chile, Paraguay, and USA. Through these experiences, I have learned English and Spanish, and learning foreign languages has been my passion ever since. I'm excited to impart my knowledge and passion, and I hope I can make the journey to learning Japanese fun and interesting for you!

I am from Nashville, Tennessee but have lived in seven different states all over the U.S. I currently attend Brigham Young University and am loving it. I enjoy the one-on-one interaction I get with people when I tutor. Watching people really understand and be excited about learning is what makes it worthwhile for me. The key is to spark the fun and excitement of learning within the student. I have tutored primarily middle and high school students but am comfortable with any age. I tutor many subjects, but am especially proficient in the areas of test preparation, math, and Spanish. I took several AP classes, was on the honor roll, and was blessed to receive a full-tuition National Merit scholarship for college. I currently have an open major but am leaning toward a degree in finance or information systems. I am fluent in Spanish thanks to a two-year mission for my church. Because of this I am now part of a Hispanic volunteer group helping children learn to read more fluently. I played rugby and football, and I love doing things outdoors, whether it be hiking, going to the lake, skiing, or backpacking. I have also traveled to many parts of the world and enjoy having new experiences and learning about other cultures.

I believe in helping the individual achieve their own potential, their own talent, their own success. As a tutor I aim to encourage the good habits that already are there to enhance any student's capability, as I am certain that everyone has gifts waiting to be uncovered.

I am a senior at Brigham Young University under an academic scholarship and working towards my English Teaching B.A. After obtaining my degree I plan to become a high school English teacher. I have been tutoring students for seven years in various subject fields, particularly in remedial English and ESL classes as an in-class peer tutor. I also love to tutor for the ACT and want to help as many students as possible realize their biggest dreams within the world of academia (and encourage their other dreams outside of it!). I enjoy tutoring because I love to help students build confidence in school, and help them learn how to enjoy learning. There are so many students that are discouraged and disheartened in the typical classroom setting because they aren't able to receive the individualized attention they require. I love to relate academic concepts to the student's personal life and teach them better habits for eventual success on their own. I am a firm believer that everyone has a unique learning style, and I like to help students discover what theirs is and the ways that they can change their study habits and how they participate in the classroom. Once the student learns how they learn best, they become much more confident going forward in school and feel a significant reduction in anxiety during tests (a challenge many students face). When I'm not focused on my own school work or helping others excel in theirs, I love to read, create paintings with watercolor pencils, and participate in musical theatre.

I am currently pursuing a double major at Brigham Young University in International Relations(with an emphasis in Eco-political development) and Portuguese.I tutor History, ACT Prep, and Portuguese.I love to teach and find it fun to learn, my approach as a tutor is help students love learning through developing an encompassing view-perspective- on their subjects. Or in other words by turning a list of things to memorize into a captivating story.I love Basketball and the arts, particularly movies, music and Literature.

I'm a native of San Diego and now reside in Utah. The French language has been an active, daily part of my life for 12 years. I started by living in Quebec, now work in an elementary French immersion program, and do volunteer conference interpreting. I am well versed in both Canadian and European French. This language brings immeasurable joy and fulfillment to my life, and I want to help others discover that same joy.

I'm studying to receive my Bachelor's in Math Education at Brigham Young University, but I was previously a Physics-Astronomy major. I discovered my love for teaching and tutoring as I helped my younger siblings with math and physics while I was in high school, which I continued to do using Skype after leaving for college. In college, I learned the value of working on homework in groups, and often explained concepts to others in the group, helping them understand the material for themselves rather than just giving them the answers. My favorite part about helping others learn is seeing their confidence in their abilities grow as the connections are made and as they are able to work through problems with limited assistance from me. By the time I've finished helping someone, I want them to have grasped the material, but also to have confidence and excitement at what they've achieved. I tend to tailor my teaching style to the person I'm working with, but generally have more of a discussion with the student rather lecture at them. I am passionate about enabling students with learning differences to succeed, as I have ADHD and depression myself, and have had to figure out how to make the school system work for me, while managing my mental health. My favorite subjects to tutor are math and physics, in large part because I find them fascinating, but also because most people find them harder, so it means more when they understand it. Outside of school, I love playing board games and card games and reading fantasy books.

Hello! My name is Ruth Favela and I have recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. During my time as an undergraduate, I majored in English and minored in editing. I loved every minute of time at BYU and hope to spread the knowledge I obtained as well as the joy I have for learning. I am a native Spanish speaker and I love literature. In the past I have interned as an English and adult literacy teacher. I currently tutor any subjects related to English and Spanish. I strive to help my students understand basic concepts and help them progress through the more advanced ones. I love teaching and helping others and I hope that I can help tutor you and that you can help me grow as a teacher.

My primary goal is to help students become independent, comfortable, and confident in the fields they are studying. I love helping people get to the "aha" moment when they really understand what's being taught. In my experience, one of the most important parts of tutoring is setting clear expectations at the beginning and working toward a common goal. Given the right goals and assistance, I truly believe that anyone can master any of the subjects I teach.

Living proof that one can turn a weakness into strength. Math was my weakest subject, but after finding determination to fix my grades, math had become a breeze.

My life's mission statement is to build, lift, and inspire other people! I am currently working on obtaining an English Teaching degree to better be able to accomplish that mission. I want to get a job as a high school English teacher after graduating from BYU. I have had several long-term opportunities to tutor, both unpaid and professionally and I recently received my Level 1 Tutoring certificate from the College Reading and Learning Association.

Hey there! My name is Hannah and I am a university student studying to become a teacher! I have lived all over the world and among those places was also Italy! My mom was born and raised there and she taught me and my siblings how to speak the language which has been such a blessing! I attended middle school and high school there as well which was also a great experience! I love teaching and I love working with people and inspiring them to love to learn and to feel empowered in that process! I am so excited to share my knowledge with those seeking help in whatever their pursuit may be!

I am a teacher that loves to teach grammar, vocabulary, writing, reading. ACT Prep. I love to travel and ride motorcycles. I am an avid reader.

I love teaching and helping others. I've tutored since High School and my classmates, friends and students always tell me about how much I've made an impact in their lives. I believe everyone can improve and learn--that means YOU too! Ready?

Learning is the hard part, but applying what you learn... Now that's the fun part.

Learning is the key to success. That is why I am passionate in helping students to enjoy the learning process. I am currently a student at Brigham Young University studying business, so I know how hard it can be to learn about a subject that is difficult, or from a teacher who does not connect well with their students. That is why I strive to teach my students by the principal I learned from Alfred Mercier "What we learn with pleasure we never forget". I learned this first hand as I lived in South America for two years. It was a lot easier to learn Spanish when I could find ways to make it enjoyable! Spanish is my favorite subject to teach because it is such a valuable tool to have in this day and age where people are coming together from all over the world. I also teach other subjects such as accounting, marketing, and algebra. I hope that I will be able to teach my students in a fun, exciting way so that they will be able to retain this valuable knowledge for years to come.My interests include football, basketball, guitar, wakeboarding, scouting, and other outdoor activities.

I received my education from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. I am currently finishing my Bachelor's of General Studies with a Business Management emphasis.I have tutored many young children with reading, violin, and writing. I often still edit and better essays for friends and family. I am their go-to editor. I also speak German fluently after living in Germany for 18 months.I tutor many subjects. German. Math. English. Reading. Writing. Violin.I absolutely love tutoring German, English, and Violin! They are what I am most passionate about and my greatest strengths.What is your favorite subject(s) to tutor and why?My philosophy is that every student can learn anything with hard work and a teacher that can adjust to their style of learning and level of education.I love reading, writing, German food, and playing my violin/listening to music! I also love board games when I get the chance to play them.

I have always loved helping others, and I've found that I do my best work in a one-on-one environment, like tutoring. I graduated from BYU with a bachelor's degree in communication disorders, and I will be working as a speech-language technician for Nebo School District, starting in the fall. I lived in the Dominican Republic as a church volunteer, and I am fluent in Spanish.I understand that students retain best what they do themselves. For this reason, my tutoring philosophy is to allow the student to go as far as he or she can alone and then give the tools necessary to figure the rest out together. This process continues until the student feels confident doing the work alone.

I have a passion for English and for teaching. I am currently an English Teaching major at BYU in Provo, UT, and I love working with students to help them succeed. I want to help each student do their best and progress in their education. I want to help students learn how to learn in different ways and to approach problems from multiple directions.

I tutor in math, physics, and test preparation. Math and Physics are some of my greatest passions, so I have absolutely loved my experience as a math tutor. I am invested in each of my students' success and work hard to help them succeed. Consequently, each of my past tutoring clients has seen significant improvement.I am a big believer in catering to students' learning styles. I pay attention to whether they are an audio, visual, or kinesthetic learner, and then I tutor accordingly.I am currently a junior at Brigham Young University. I am an Applied & Computational Mathematics major with a concentration in Electrical and Computer Engineering: Circuits. I have earned the high in many of my math and physics courses. In addition, I placed third in my university's undergraduate math competition while only a freshman.When I am not doing math or physics, I enjoy farming, inventing, origami, blogging, basketry, hiking, and building bagpipes.

Learning and teaching are two of my favorite things to do! For as long as I can remember I have loved learning new things. It is my goal as a tutor to help light that same fire in my students. I truly believe that everyone can learn anything, and I promise to do everything I can to help you achieve your academic goals.

I recently graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Microbiology from BYU. My last job was working in a lab researching antibiotic resistant bacteria, HPV, and SARS-CoV-2. Currently, I tutor science subjects such as biology, microbiology, molecular biology, and virology. I have always enjoyed learning, and I hope to help others find joy in learning too.

I am an Applied Physics Major with an Emphasis in Mechanical Engineering at Brigham Young University. I love to share the joy I have in the sciences and math to show truly the applications are so far-reaching.I have been tutoring since I was a junior in high school and was a Teaching Assistant in college for 3 years. I believe in aiding students in the learning process so they can feel better prepared for homework and tests, as well as grow in appreciation of the subject.On a mission trip, I lived in Mexico City for 6 weeks to study Spanish. For a year and a half after that time in Mexico, I taught in Spanish and studied it daily. I love to help others learn grammar and how to improve speaking this wonderful language!If you need any help learning math, physics, or Spanish, I would love to help you out!

I am a Sophomore at BYU from Sacramento, CA. Currently, I am studying Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Management. I love understanding how everything works and that is one of my biggest motivators in school and learning in general. The subjects in which I am most proficient are Calculus, any type of Algebra and test-taking skills. I am also fluent in Spanish having spent two years in Spain where I talked with peoples of various Spanish-speaking countries emphasizing the Castillian accent. I would love to be able to share my enthusiasm for understanding with everyone.

I tutor Spanish at all levels. I studied Spanish and Portuguese at Brigham Young University. I have a BA in Spanish with a Portuguese minor. My Spanish evaluation upon graduation was "advanced high." This is one level below native. I do not have an foreign accent in Spanish or Portuguese (Brazilian). I taught at a language learning center working with 19 to 21 year olds. I have also taught Spanish as a long term substitute. I lived in the Dominican Republic for 2 years over two separate occasions. I have over 20 experience speaking Spanish. When teaching, I focus on helping students understand concepts that can be difficult grasp (i.e. subjunctive, pretreat vs. imperfect). The language is much easier to grasp when the student understands the "why" of a concept.I also studied law at Washburn University School of Law. I am a licensed attorney. Teaching Spanish is something that I really enjoy because I understand the process and it is rewarding to help people get over the conceptual humps along the way to fluency.

I am currently a business student in the Marriott School of Business at Brigham Young University studying Global Supply Chain Management and working on Japanese certification. I am an enthusiastic, self-motivated, leadership and organizational minded employee and student.

I have twenty years experience in education. My qualifications are as follows: I graduated BYU with a bachelor's in Social Studies Teaching and a minor in Spanish Teaching. I later graduated with a second bachelor's degree in Anthropology. Recently I graduated with a master's in Instructional Design. I have taught high school Spanish and adult ESL. I have also substituted. Currently, I teach an adult ESL class at night. I enjoy the act of teaching, and am passionate about the subjects that I have taught. I believe that I'm serving others when I'm engaged in teaching.

Learning didn't come easily to me at first. Only when I understood how the brain really works could I understand the effective ways of learning. Now I love helping others grasp the same principles I have studied! More than anything, I am here to provide encouragement and support and I am willing to go to great extents to help you reach your educational goals.

With a passion for learning, I have 4 years experience of Advanced Placement tests and tutoring, and 8 years experience general tutoring of all ages. I particularly enjoy English, History, and Science.I have six years of bilingual instruction experience, from preschool age to adults. I love tutoring English as a Second Language and Spanish language. I am currently completing my TESOL certification.As a tutor, I really work to understand each student's learning style and tailor instruction to their needs. I am looking for students who are self-motivated and willing to put forth the effort to learn. I strive to help students fall in love with learning as they improve in each subject!

Hello There! I'm Nathan and I tutor, which means I help you get so good at whatever you're learning that someday you won't even need me anymore! By focusing on study skills in addition to the topic at hand you will learn how to learn. I love math and chemistry and am enthusiastic about teaching the subjects to you. I grew up in Albuquerque NM and returned here to live after completing my bachelor's degree in chemistry. Outside of the classroom, I like playing music, game design, and taking my family to the park. I look forward to meeting you and making your tutoring experience a positive one.

I have been a professional Civil Engineer for about 20 years. I chose engineering for a career because I enjoy math and science and solving problems. Math was hard for me when I was young, so I think I have an ability to empathize with students who struggle and to find a way to explain concepts so each individual can understand. I love seeing the light come on in a student's eyes when they finally understand a concept they've struggled with.I have lots of tutoring experience, beginning with working as a teaching assistant for several semesters in college. I also spent a year working in a free inner-city tutoring lab. I have taught professional development courses as part of my engineering job and I have taught three semesters at Drexel University as an adjunct professor.I use math and science every day at work, so I can help students with most STEM classes. I also have to write a lot as part of my job and have a reputation as a good editor of reports and papers. I am also fluent in Spanish, having lived in a Spanish-speaking country and having close family members whose first language is Spanish. I have helped my son and the children of many of my friends with their school work for years and have also helped people (kids and adults) who want to learn English.

Throughout my educational experiences I have come to appreciate how variable learning can be. There are good days, hard days, fun subjects and tough ones too. Regardless of the circumstance there is something to be gleaned and applied that can benefit us in the long term. As an undergraduate at Brigham Young University and a medical student at Penn State University I feel I have gained a great deal of experience with different learning environments and circumstances. Along the way I have developed a sincere interest in learning and helping others do the same! I'm excited to be a part of Varsity tutors and hope to be a great listener and resource for you as you grow throughout your own educational journey.I am originally from Salt Lake City, Utah but have spent about 6 years out East. My time away from my medical training is spent mostly with my wife and two little boys. We enjoy the outdoors and being rowdy! I enjoy collegiate and professional sports, running and reading about most anything.
