Hello! I am 27 with a bubbly personality and an enthusiasm for mathematics! I have been tutoring math for 10 years now through different businesses. While I attended Drake University, I worked in the Drake Math Lab for 4 years, and I worked with a variety of students, classes, and majors. I found my love for teaching as I enjoyed working more than my classes. I graduated with a degree in Actuarial Science in May 2014 and soon after attained my Master's Degree in Secondary Math Education from Iowa State University. I get along with almost every person I meet and I can make math fun for you or your little one (or both, sit in and learn too!) I look forward to helping you!

PERSONAL STATEMENTI earned a Bachelor's degree in elementary education from Drake University, Master's degrees in both Educational Administration and Special Education, and a doctorate from the University of the Nebraska at Omaha, NE.I tutor all elementary and middle school general education subjects and special education for those students as well. My favorite subjects to tutor are math, science, and social studies.When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with our large extended family, spending time with our dog, reading, and traveling when I can.When I was a child, I always looked for role models and one of my elementary teachers, Mrs. John stepped up as a very influential figure in my life. Her personal interest helped me know I could be successful in life. I have tried to use the same inspiration I received so many years ago in my career in education for the past 40 years.As a teacher, I believe that a desire to teach, enthusiasm, and dedication for your subject are three key elements for teaching, but we must also care deeply for children. We must have the will to develop strong relationships with learners to enhance the learning process.As an experienced teacher, I am excited about the opportunity to continue to apply my skills as a tutor. I have face-to-face classroom experience at the elementary, middle school and high school levels. I have taught general and special education. I have taught face-to-face classes, hybrid, and on-line classes at the university level.I am enthusiastic about trying to influence my students by showing interest in them, being committed to developing relationships with them as learners, and by implementing teaching strategies to help them learn. In these ways, I hope to make learning memorable and transform the way they view their world.

Hi Dear Students! I am happy to help you with all your writing and communication needs. I have more than twenty years of experience teaching Composition, Literature, Professional and Argumentative Writing and Humanities (Introduction to Humanities, Introduction to Film). I have a doctoral degree in Rhetoric (argumentative writing) and Professional Communication, a Masters Degree in Literature. I am also a native Russian speaker. I grew up and got my Bachelors degree in Russia. I have taught Russian as as a teaching assistant and a private tutor. For more than 30 years I have been doing Russian-English translation (written) and interpretation (oral). I can teach Russian at all levels, including conversation. I am looking forward to getting to know you (if only online).

I'm currently an undergraduate at Drake University pursuing degrees in Mathematics and History. I've been tutoring for 2 years and have had absolutely wonderful experiences working with students of all ages, from kindergarten to college. My favorite part of tutoring is getting those "aha" moments with my students because the moment a student reaches understanding, a love for the subject can begin to form. Outside of academics, I enjoy hiking, swimming, and going to museums. I love math and have a passion for teaching that I can't wait to share with students!

I hold a Ph.D. from Columbia University and bring over twenty years of tutoring and teaching experience. I provide highly personalized one-on-one lessons in all areas of chemistry, physics and math.Throughout my career, tutoring and teaching has been one of my passions. I have tutored over a hundred students spanning a broad range of ages and backgrounds, from elementary school through post-graduate continuing education. The subjects I taught include quantitative and subject (Chemistry and Physics) SAT preparation, all areas of math, chemistry and physics, as well as preparation for the New York State Exams.My classroom teaching experience encompassed nearly four years as a full-time faculty member at Boston College, where I taught undergraduate and graduate courses in chemistry. In addition, I worked as math instructor for an advanced after-school program for children in grades 1-8.I believe that personal tutoring is one of the most effective methods of teaching as it allows the pace of the lessons to be carefully matched to the student, so that learning is at the same time challenging, but not overwhelming. Based on my experience, I can guarantee improvement, regardless of your current level or background.

Hi there! I'm a former special education teacher with experience in elementary, middle, and high school. I'm taking a few years break from the classroom to raise my young children but I'm eager to keep helping students learn!

I received my Bachelor of Education degree from Drake University where I majored in Educational Psychology. I also possess a Master of Business Administration degree. After spending a few decades in the manufacturing sector, I decided to come back to the field of education in order to contribute to posterity. I consider education imperative for future success, and my return to the field of education is a way of having a positive impact on tomorrow. Besides tutoring, I presently teach reading and writing at a major college. Additionally, my experience in the teaching field includes having taught middle school English in a Charter school. I also taught students in the Department of Juvenile Justice Services of a large municipality where I tutored students who had been arrested and had dropped out of high school. I taught and mentored these students, which culminated in them receiving a high school diploma from the state. One of my specialties is preparing students for critical tests. My concentration is in teaching English with an emphasis in writing and reading. My expertise includes teaching grammar including sentence structure, organization, and mechanics. I also concentrate on style, writing an essay, revising, and editing. My reading experience includes interpreting and analyzing informational text and reading literature. Moreover, I assess and teach student needs in comprehension, vocabulary, fluency prosody, and fluency accuracy. My hobbies include reading, jogging, kayaking, scuba diving, and playing the guitar.

Davis has been tutoring various subjects related to Reading Comprehension, Mathematics, Finance, and Writing for the past 3 years. He received his Undergraduate Degree in 2018 from Drake University, where he studied Finance and Economics, graduating with University Honors. After graduation, Davis worked as an Underwriter and as a Financial Analyst. While working he also received a Certification in Data Analysis and Visualization from the University of Minnesota. He has received an overall score in the 99th percentile on the GMAT. This includes a high score on the Quantitative section, a perfect score on the Integrated Reasoning and Analytical Writing Assessment, and a Verbal score in the 99th percentile. In working with students, he emphasizes getting a full understanding of the student's current strengths and weaknesses, putting the areas of study into context with the student's larger goals, and creating a dialogue with the student to help them develop a full understanding of their chosen subject matter.

I have always had a deep love of learning and when I graduated college with a degree in broadcast journalism and joined Teach for America I became passionate about other's education as well. I have taught middle school reading and math for special education and am currently teaching elementary special education. I am also pursuing my master's degree in speech language pathology, hoping to continue to make an impact on children outside the classroom. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends and adorable puppy, hiking, yoga and the beautiful beaches of Hawaii.

I enjoy working with students of all ages on various subjects. I have previously tutored students from pre-K to college age in subjects ranging from pre-reading/phonics skills, language arts, basic Spanish and study skills to high level math and college test prep.I have a bachelor's in elementary education with endorsements in early childhood and reading and a minor in general business. I have taught eight grade, fourth grade, kindergarten and pre-school. My favorite part about teaching is watching those "aha" moments as students grasp a new or difficult concept for the first time. I enjoy working with students one-on-one to find what works best for each student to help them learn in the way that most benefits and makes sense to that student.I look forward to the opportunity to tutor all students in many subjects and share my strengths with others.

I am student at Drake University quadruple majoring in biochemistry, cell & molecular biology, as well as chemistry, biology, and mathematics with a minor in computer science and a concentration in biophysics. My teaching philosophy is that every student is capable of learning a concept, no matter how complex. I believe that every student has their own learning style and is the responsibility of the tutor to teach in that style. My favorite subjects to teach are math of all levels, biology, chemistry, and ACT preparation. Outside of academia, I play 10 different instruments and love to make music!

As a student, I am highly interested in the sciences which has led me to be in this position as a pharmacy student. I love to learn about biochemical processes of our body and how medications can alter that. Once that knowledge has been obtained, it is amazing to learn about how it can be applied therapeutically. My background consists of a public health degree while which helps me understand the broad perspective of health and then learning about pharmacy helps me zoom in and be able to clinically help patients. Professionally, I aspire to be in a workplace where I could continue being innovative and where I can utilize my compassion for individuals. I want a degree of freedom along with my job where I could learn new things and at the same time follow protocol.

I've spent the last 25 years in the pursuit of the exploration, comprehension and celebration of great works of literature, with special emphasis on English and American authors. Shakespeare, Shaw, Moliere, Oscar Wilde, Sheridan, Woodhouse, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Steinbeck, Poe, Salinger, Eugene O'Neil, Tennessee Williams, Capote, Twain - the list goes on forever.As a student, interpreter, and performer of great dramatic works, I've appeared in classical theatre across the United States as well as Canada and the UK.I am a recipient of the Tyrone Guthrie Award from the Stratford Festival of Canada, I was named the 2019 inductee to the Illinois Shakespeare Festival Hall of Fame, I am a three-time Joseph Jefferson Award Nominee in my home town of Chicago.I have a Bachelors Degree (cum laude) from Drake University, and have have continued studies at Connecticut College and the Eugene O'Neil Theatre Center in Waterford. I was also a member of Stratford Festival's Classical Conservatory Company.My main approach to the study of these works of literature is to make them accessible. The works of Willam Shakespeare are still being studied after 400 years because they resonate with people. If I can open that door for my students, they can walk through it, and see a new wold.

Hi, I'm Leah! I am a teacher with five years of teaching experience in the lower elementary grades. I am passionate about teaching students and helping them to meet their learning goals. My favorite area to teach is phonics, because I think it is the most important part of reading and can help a young student in so many academic areas.

In 2013 I graduated from Drake University with my bachelor's degrees in Mathematics and International Business. Experience wise, I currently work as a statistical analyst, in college I worked part time tutoring at the local high schools, and last year I volunteered at the YMCA mentoring a youth.As for me personally, my hobbies include playing in a soccer and learning the piano (at least trying to). I also have large interest in hiking, but typically avoid the summer, too many bugs and excruciating heat!Lastly, my interest in tutoring comes from an interest to help others. I find it incredibly rewarding and also get to refresh my math prowess.

As an enthusiastic educator with a genuine passion for helping students succeed, I am excited to join Varsity Tutors as a tutor. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive, engaging, and personalized learning environment where every student feels empowered to reach their full potential. I believe that learning is a collaborative journey, and I strive to inspire confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning in each of my students.

I am a recent Ph. D graduate from Iowa State. While at Iowa State, I was a teaching assistant for the class "Genetics, Biotechnology, and Agriculture" for a year. As a plant breeding major, in addition to extensive classes in genetics, I have experience in studying plant physiology, and gained experience in statistics both from classes and from analysis required in publishing journal manuscripts and my dissertation. The main statistics program I worked with is SAS.

As a passionate educator with a Master's in Accounting from Drake University and another in Management from the University of Northern Iowa, I have over 4 years of experience tutoring subjects such as Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting, and Finance. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and engage deeply with the material. I believe that every student has unique strengths, and I strive to connect with them individually to promote their academic success. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring financial trends, which enhances my ability to bring real-world applications into my lessons. I am committed to helping students build confidence and achieve their goals in the field of accounting to become CPAs and CIAs as I am.

I was lucky to have truly exceptional teachers, starting in elementary school and continuing on through my neurosurgical residency. Inspired by them, I have been teaching in one way or another for about 35 years. Whether I was planning an operation with a resident physician, making orbital models with the chemistry students, or working alongside science fair participants (incidentally including my grandchildren!), these inspirational educators were always in my mind. Tutoring is just another form of interactive, mutual learning, which can serve to expand and strengthen the knowledge base we all need to be participatory citizens.

I am a retired school teacher, with over 40 years of experience teaching English, Spanish, and English as a Second Language at all levels from grade school to adult continuing education programs.My teaching philosophy is student-centered, meaning that to be effective, lessons must take into account the students??? ability and learning style. I believe that the core grammatical fundamentals of the language must form the basis of instruction, woven into a practical approach to learning English. I take pride in developing meaningful, contemporary lessons to make sure that students are well-engaged in the learning activities, as opposed to rote memorization and meaningless dialogues. I also emphasize ???survival??? English to ensure that students are equipped and prepared to deal with various issues and common situations they will encounter daily. Through my experience, I have found that practical, everyday lessons are more likely to be retained and fully understood by students, as they are likely to use this information frequently in their day-to-day activities. The practical nature of these lessons provides an immediate benefit to the students by better preparing them to cope with the various issues that they may face in life, and therefore reinforcing their classroom learning experiences.I am willing to put in additional time and effort to help an individual student, including one-on-one instruction or additional material on a given subject or concept. Every student has his own unique learning style which needs to be understood and utilized by the instructor. With my wealth of teaching experience, I have developed many various teaching strategies to reach different students. I sincerely believe that every student is capable of learning, and my strong belief in this philosophy guides me in reinforcing students??? belief in themselves and their own capabilities.

I have tutored for many years and I have found that students may learn in different ways and all can excel. I like to present material in an engaging and relevant manner so that we can all learn and achieve success.One-on-one tutoring is an effective technique, particularly for explaining and modeling math, and I enjoy seeing students attitudes toward school brighten when they see immediate progress in their work.As a writing tutor, I like to focus on helping students find their authentic voice. Essays succeed when students strip away the extraneous material and present themselves and their ideas honestly, and I think with a little coaching any student can be a successful writer.

With over 25 years of dedicated teaching and tutoring experience, I have developed a profound understanding of student learning needs and diverse teaching methodologies. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with students from various age groups, educational backgrounds, and abilities, helping them excel in subjects ranging from mathematics, science, and English, to specialized test preparation and professional skill development.

Hi hi! I'm a Policy Analyst at a DC-based think tank, using real-world economic models. I also volunteer with my city, serving as the chair of economic development projects for immigrants and refugees. I tutor LSAT prep and Econ classes? My LSAT journey has been TOUGH but I brought myself from a 143 (diag) to a 170 in a few months. I got my econ degree (MCL & DH) with membership to ODE (international econ honor society) in 2025 and have about 3 years of formal tutoring experience, but I was always the "mom friend" helping out friends before that. I have helped people at every stage of test prep, and I use neuroscience research to tailor study plans to YOU and your brain.

Most people don't understand how important learning can be to both individuals and even countries. I have been to China many times and even lived in Beijing for two years. In Beijing I worked as a "Foreign Legal Consultant" for a large Chinese Law Firm. For instance, in China, English is a mandatory second language, so I was constantly asked to help our legal staff improve their English. In China, the better your English language skills, the better jobs you could get; the better schools you could get into, etc.; knowledge could change their lives and feed their families. It was much the same during the times I spent in Mongolia, and even with people in the South Korean Embassy in Beijing. I have enjoyed sharing my language skills with the eager, highly motivated people of all ages I met wherever I have been. For a full life, we must always keep learning whether learning English, or some other language, studying cook books to learn how to make perfect pumpkin pies, or discovering alternate universes with quantum physics, keep learning, keep learning, keep learning; always sharing your knowledge with those who ask you to teach it to them.
