I am a PhD student studying the genetics of early brain development. I have a Bachelor's of Science degree in genetics/genomics/biotechnology. I have tutored many subjects over the years including algebra/geometry, all biological sciences and some chemistry, including biochem, and organic chem. I enjoy teaching and try to provide positive feedback, while adjusting my methods to best meet the student's needs. I am enthusiastic about learning and have a goal to help engage students and build - even if slightly - a love of learning.

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.

Link to LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendan-smith-9a7a01112?trk=hp-identity-nameHello! I'm Brendan. I'm a sophomore at Brigham Young University studying sociology. I enjoy hiking, being with family, and all things music. I specialize in teaching Mandarin Chinese. I have been taking Chinese classes ever since I was 13, but what got me seriously interested in the language and the culture was when I lived in Taiwan for 2 years in a service capacity. During this time, I had the opportunity to serve in a number of cities in southern and western Taiwan and speak constantly with native Chinese-speakers. I gained a love for the language, the food, the culture, and the people there so I decided to continue my studies as I returned to the United States.Since being home, I have been taking advanced Chinese grammar and culture classes and loving it! During this past year, I have also had experience teaching new language learners Mandarin. They, like I had previously done, were going to serve in Chinese-speaking parts of the world. I helped them go through an intensive 9-week program aimed to help them learn the language and culture of the area they would be serving in, so they could be functional when they got to their areas of service. I found through this experience that every student has different needs and strengths and my job as a tutor isn't so much to lecture as it is to create an environment in which the student is willing to express questions or concerns and be desires to increase their skills. I believe that it's easiest to help a student when you have a shared vision and goal for what you can accomplish together and work hard to reach it. I help my students accomplish their goals by aiding them in discovering what methods best help them become passionate and proactive about learning and then practicing the implementation of those methods with them, so that when they don't need me anymore, they will be equipped with the tools they need to keep learning on their own.I appreciate your consideration! I hope to be able to help you achieve your learning goals.

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 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 have always liked math and languages. Also, I have always enjoyed teaching! It doesn't matter to me if the students feel passionate about the subject or not, or if they are really good at the subject or not. All I care about is having students who want to learn and get better. If you are really struggling with the material and want to improve your grades, I am here for you. I don't mind reviewing with you the material again and again, as long as you are committed to eventually learn it. If you are passionate about math or Spanish, and you just want to become the best in your class, I am here for you as well.

I'm a certified teacher with over 20 years of experience teaching all ages. I have a degree in Elementary Education from BYU. I'm passionate about fostering a love of learning in others. Every student can develop a growth mindset and that will be the foundation for their future success. My husband and I have 5 children ages 16-27. Each of them have had their unique struggles with learning. Over the years, my experience with helping them overcome learning differences, ADHD, high-functioning autism, sensory disorders, etc. has helped me be a more skilled teacher and tutor. I understand the struggles of the student who has to spend inordinate amounts of time studying when others whip through their assignments with ease. Every student has a different learning style. Some need visual and auditory experiences to learn. Others need to move and do. I'm proficient in cool online tools that allow me to get the student involved with math manipulatives and interactive annotations.

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.

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 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?

My interest and love for Spanish began as a child when I went to my Puerto Rican grandma's house. There was a rich Hispanic culture throughout her home and how she lived. I never understood the Spanish she spoke, but I loved hearing it and have very fond memories of it from my childhood. Fast forward to me at 19-years-old, I chose to serve a 2-year full-time volunteer mission for my church. I had no choice in where they would send me, so I was very grateful when they assigned me to serve in Chile. Those 2 years in Chile gave me an immense love for the Spanish language and a desire to continue using it for the rest of my life.As I returned from my 2-year mission, I decided to apply for a Minor Degree in Spanish at Brigham Young University. There, I qualified to take an advanced-level Spanish-speaking test to waive 16 credits worth of Spanish courses and accelerate my formal Spanish education. I passed the test with an A and continued the rest of my collegiate study taking advanced level Spanish courses. While in the first two years of my college, I also worked as a Spanish teacher in a Training Center that taught young missionaries who were just starting their 2-year service missions for my church. That job engulfed me in the Spanish language daily and encouraged me to improve my Spanish-speaking abilities.Today, I continue to speak the Spanish language frequently after having learned it 8 years ago. I hold a Spanish Minor from Brigham Young University, and I want to continue sharing the benefits of learning the Spanish language with others around me. If you choose me to be your tutor, I will give you my best efforts to teach you all you need to know to excel in your classes. You will learn more than just the curriculum needed for a good grade. Well engage in effective practice sessions, learn clever ways to grasp the language, and have fun while doing it! I love Spanish, and I know you will too after working with me!

I love helping people and I love education, which is why I love teaching!I believe everyone can learn if they truly want to. After all, everyone has potential. I also believe that we can do hard things if we put our minds to it. For example, I chose to study Spanish and became fluent in college, without having to go on a study abroad.If we use our resources, work hard, and do our best, everything will work out. I've seen this principle in action throughout my life. I have an AAS is Arts and Sciences, a BS in Home and Family Living with a minor in Spanish, and an MA in Hispanic Linguistics. Since I graduated in 2013, I also spent two years working for FamilySearch.org and two years as a middle school teacher. Believe me; it was hard, but it was absolutely worth the work to be able to tutor now!

I graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor's degree in elementary education. I was interested in teaching because I recognized my deep love for learning and wanted to inspire others to develop that same passion. Before becoming a certified teacher, I was a volunteer tutor for school and community outreach programs such as Seeds of Success, Best Buddies, and Peer Assistance Leaders. I also went on a service mission where I taught a variety of people on a daily basis. These experiences helped me to relate to students individually and teach with their interests and personality in mind. In preparation to teach 5th and 1st grade, I was formally trained in current teaching strategies for all subjects. I received additional, focused training on Phonics, which made reading my favorite subject to teach. Besides being a proud wife and mother, I enjoy varied hobbies such as cooking, yoga, hiking, architectural design, and learning the Portuguese language.

Hey! I'm Gavin. I'm a student at Brigham Young University in Provo Utah and love helping people. My current goal is to help you learn and excel in any way I can!

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education at Brigham Young University. Later I earned a Master of Education in education with an emphasis in math K-6 through Southern Utah University. I have taught at the elementary and secondary levels. At the elementary level I taught grades 1-6, and tutored after school in the public school system. On the secondary level I have taught math, science, social studies, Spanish, and art to in a private academy. I tutor English as a second language, phonics, elementary reading, elementary writing, elementary math, elementary science, and elementary social studies. Additionally, I also tutor middle school math, pre-algebra, algebra, and Spanish. My goal is to make learning fun and meaningful. When I am not tutoring, I like to play the piano or organ.

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.

How do you teach someone how to learn, how to think, and how to express their ideas? First, you teach them how to read, how to write, and then how to speak publicly. I have two master's degrees: one in Communications and one in Special Education- Applied Behavior Analysis. I have taught university classes in public speaking and communications for many years. I have also established an elementary school with a classical education emphasis. I believe that the skill of reading opens the world of learning and the skill of writing and presenting your thoughts develops your critical thinking skills and develops your talents of discovery.

I'm a recent graduate currently working as an actuarial analyst, which makes me slightly more fun than accountants. I consider myself a proficient teacher in anything math related. I also dabble in finance and economics and I think I'm pretty well rounded education wise, so I am willing to try my hand at just about anything. I speak and read Spanish fluently. I love seeing the light bulb turn on in people's heads. Helping someone understand or master a concept is just a cool feeling. I have taught Spanish classes and I enjoy studying with my classmates. Anytime I know something that would benefit someone else, I love to share. Most recently I worked in the Stats Department as a TA for R and SAS programming. I held lab hours where students could come in with any question and I'd work with them on their projects. I believe that any type of teaching needs to be catered to the student to achieve maximum comprehension. I do my best to help my students learn, rather than lecture to them. Outside of academia, I love sports and outdoor recreation. I play basketball at least once a week and enjoy hiking, climbing, boating, you name it.

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.

Through 10 years of teaching at three different colleges, I know that great learning comes through individual advising sessions and conversations that allow students to address their concerns, develop their skills, and work on their goals.

I graduated with a Bachelor's in Elementary Education and a minor in Teaching English as a Secondary Language. I'm a licensed elementary school teacher certified in grades K-6. I taught 4th and 3rd grade, but have spent time in many other grades. My goal is to create a safe and positive learning environment where students not only grow but thrive. There is no better feeling than knowing you've had a small part in shaping a child's future.

I am passionate about fostering a love for learning in my students, and I believe that every individual has the potential to excel academically. Currently pursuing dual Bachelor's degrees in Biology and Software Development, I bring a strong analytical perspective to my tutoring sessions. With experience in teaching subjects such as Portuguese, Algebra, Geometry, and Elementary School Math, I strive to create engaging and supportive learning environments that cater to each student's unique needs. My approach emphasizes conceptual understanding and practical problem-solving, ensuring that students not only grasp the material but also develop confidence in their abilities. I am committed to helping my students succeed and look forward to guiding them on their educational journeys.

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!

I love to learn: I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Public Administration with an emphasis in nonprofit management at Oakland University, and I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Brigham Young University. I chose an undergraduate major in English and minors in Editing and in Spanish. While at BYU, I was very involved with the Writing Fellows program which gave me the opportunity to be a specialized writing tutor for several years. I worked one-on-one with my fellow undergraduates to help improve them their writing in a variety of courses including humanities, religion, recreation management, and English. I also helped tutor new writing tutors as they came into the program through my position as a teaching assistant. I love to empower hesitant writers to come up with their own ideas and write using their own words. Helping students with reading comprehension and literature is also my favorite. When I am not reading, writing, and tutoring, you can find me outside hiking, practicing yoga, or navigating through whitewater rapids, most recently with my new husband.

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 am a graduate of the Wake Forest University School of Law in North Carolina where I obtained my Juris Doctorate Degree. I also received an bachelor's degree in communications from Brigham Young University. I greatly enjoy working with students who are trying to improve their academic performance. I have previously instructed online developmental writing courses for adults seeking to return to college and sought to improve their writing skills. I believe strongly that everyone has the talent needed to write and express themselves but that they need to learn how to structure and organize their writing so that their ideas can flow. For standardized testing I believe the most important factor in success is becoming comfortable with the test itself; learning the common ways the test makers misdirect a student’s attention and how to properly break down a problem. Outside of the classroom I have a great interest in film; I own hundreds of movies from various genres, eras, and countries. I also write fiction in my spare time.

I am a Brigham Young University graduate with a Bachelor degree in chemistry. I believe learning and mastering an academic subject can be a challenging yet extremely rewarding experience. I strive to boost my students' confidence in their ability to learn and understand concepts by helping them to recognize and utilize their individual learning style. I believe anyone can achieve academic succeed when given the right tools.

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.

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 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 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.

One of my greatest passions in life involves teaching English and Spanish. I have dedicated my education and profession to becoming an expert in these languages and in teaching them. I received a bachelors degree from Brigham Young University where I double majored in Secondary Education (emphasis in English Language Arts) and in Spanish Studies. While studying at the university, I taught Spanish online as part of the universitys independent study program. After graduation, I taught seventh grade English for one year. I absolutely loved teaching, but left to be able to move to Chicago with my husband. Now, as my husband is attending the University of Chicago Law School, I hope to reach as many students as possible through tutoring.I believe that every student is unique and therefore deserves individual instruction. If I see that a lesson is not helping a student succeed, I immediately adapt that lesson. I am willing to put in all the work that is necessary for the benefit of the student. That being said, I also believe that a student has a responsibility to put in their best effort as well.Although I do love teaching English and Spanish, there are many other things I love to do. In my free time I enjoy reading, singing, playing the piano, ballroom dancing, Zumba, trying new foods, traveling, and watching movies with my husband and cat.

I am a lover of children. I have worked with students from daycare, summer camps, and elementary schools. I graduated from Brigham Young University while I was teaching 3rd grade. I have worked with students in the classroom or in tutoring settings from 3rd grade up to 8th grade. I even take on the occasional collage student! I am most passionate about Math and Science but I also enjoy reading and exploring history. I can't wait to see how I can help you get excited about learning!

I think everyone deserves to learn in their own way and at their own pace. That's why I love being a tutor! I love working with people one-on-one to help them really learn, understand, and become more comfortable what they are studying.I have been tutoring in various subjects for about 5 years, but I specialize in math, especially Calculus. I worked in the math lab at Brigham Young University for 3 years and gained lots of experience in helping people understand math. I also enjoy tutoring a wide range of other subjects, ranging from test prep to computer science to English.I am currently a Master's student at BYU studying Computer Engineering with an emphasis in robotics and autonomy. When I'm not tutoring or doing research, I love to travel, run, play frisbee, watch movies, and just spend time with the people I love! I also sing Baritone in my University's top choir and recently returned from a tour to Vietnam and Indonesia. I'm a firm believer that everyone has something great to offer the world and it was fun to share my talents and to learn from others throughout the world!

I have a passion for helping people understand the beauty of reading and writing! Our ability to use language is amazing, but it is also a skill that can be developed. If you are looking for help in your English class, I am the tutor for you. I study Editing and Publishing and have spent years learning how to analyze texts and work with individuals to develop their writing skills. I want you to succeed, but even more I want you to truly enjoy the process of becoming a better writer, reader, and learner.

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 am a graduate of Brigham Young University where I earned a degree in Chemistry. During my last year and a half at BYU, I tutored for the MCAT extensively and helped many students earn very competitive scores. I started medical school at the University of Central Florida in 2018 and am currently taking a gap year to earn an MBA. I took the USMLE Step 1 Exam in May of 2020. I have helped multiple students during my own dedicated study period as well as currently prepare for and create a structured and organized study plan to score well on their own USMLE Step 1 Exam. I am very passionate about education as well as the science behind learning and have published multiple papers in the medical education field as well as pursuing a large multi-institutional study regarding third party resource usage in medical education. Additionally, I am the founder and President of a new non-profit dedicated to the improvement of education as well as teaching critical thinking and problem solving skills.

Throughout high school and college, I always loved teaching and helping other students. I have been an ACT tutor as well as a math tutor to multiple students and worked as a Teaching Assistant in the Computer Science department at BYU for 4 years. I recently graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from BYU and am currently working as a Software Engineer in addition to being a tutor.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts. I was an English teacher for two months in South Korea. In college, I wrote a play that was produced by a middle school. I am an honors graduate of a medical transcription and editing program from the online school Career Step. This included courses in grammar and punctuation. With this program, I also gained proofreading and editing skills as I edited work that I had transcribed to be sure it was grammatically correct. I love to travel and have new experiences. Every day I work on learning new things and developing new talents. There are so many interesting things about this world.

Hi there! I am a student at BYU studying Psychology and am doing pre-dental. I love getting to know people and love Spanish so I cannot wait to teach and learn with YOU!
