A talented go-getter who is passionate about education and learning, communication and media, and literacy for all.

As a teacher, I love sharing my passion for language with students of all ages and from all over the world. Language is an incredible tool we all use every day to communicate. Learning how to do so in new languages inspires us to see the world in different ways. I've been a Spanish Teacher for 4 years in the classroom, traveled and studied throughout Central and South America, and really value the cultural exchange possible when you learn a new language. As a teacher, I developed my own curriculum which prioritizes learning that the student values and wants to do, and have had lots of success with it. I use strategies such as Organic World Language and Comprehensible Input that are driven by my students' interests.

I strive to find balance in my life through personal and academic success, while being able to make a difference in my community and inspire my students to be more than they thought they could be through positive energy.

I am currently pre-med working towards a degree in Biology with a minor in Asian Studies at Elon University. I tutor Spanish, English, and various other subjects. I am fluent in Spanish and love to share my language with others. My teaching philosophy is repetition and encouragement.The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you - BB King

I value the learning process, and aim to pass on the fundamentals of language and other subject areas I have obtained.

My name is Ethan Krone and I am a senior at Elon University. I am currently studying both International & Global Studies and Spanish as my majors with a Political Science minor. As a part of Varsity Tutors, my focus is to help others learn Spanish. I am a native English speaker from Indiana, but I have taken Spanish for over 8 years and have studied abroad in Peru during my time at Elon. I have also tutored students in Spanish throughout high school and college. My goal is to help others learn and improve upon the language.

I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology & Experimental Neuroscience from Elon University, located in North Carolina. Shortly thereafter I began to work towards my PhD in the field of experimental neuroscience research. My strongest subjects include statistics, math, and the sciences. My favorite subject to tutor would have to be statistics, mostly because I have taken so many classes in this subject that it is like second nature at this point. Outside of my education, I am an avid golfer. As a scratch handicap, I went to college on scholarship to play for a Division I NCAA team.

Since graduating with a Bachelor's in English from Elon University, I have traveled extensively and taught English to a wide variety of students. I started out teaching children aged 10-15 in Korea where I learned how to incorporate technology and multimedia materials to make lessons as engaging impossible and developed a holistic, project-based, interactive style of teaching. Later I moved to Europe where I got my Master's in Literature in Germany and began teaching adult learners and private clients of all ages English both in person and online. I was also a university English instructor to Japanese exchange students for courses such as Essay Writing, Advanced Grammar, Oral Presentation, and American Culture. I enjoy getting creative in developing lessons and getting to know my students in order to figure out the more effective way to increase their skills. I have a passion for all subjects related to English, particularly writing, but I also enjoy teaching a wide range of subjects.

I'm a graduate of Elon University in North Carolina. I studied international relations with an emphasis in Latin American studies. While in college, I was lucky enough to travel to 7 countries, and I have a huge appreciation for culture, travel and taking photographs along the way. After graduation, I taught ESL to high school students, helped start an education non-profit, and coordinated tutoring efforts for Title I low income schools for the Tucson region.When I returned to Texas, I worked with a local community college in the college access field to prepare students for college. I was a substitute for a bit, but now I am currently a certified 6th grade bilingual teacher in North Texas. I have taught in public schools for going on three years, teaching English/Spanish language arts, and now I'll be moving onto teaching math. I have been a tutor since I was a teen volunteer and have tutored Math, Spanish, and test prep.My teaching style is very easy-going! I want to make a personal connection with my students to understand what they like and how they think. I try to tie these all together with content to teach concepts and connect them to the real world, which is the point of education. In my opinion, education is needed to understand and make sense of our surroundings. I think my job as a teacher is to make education fun and relevant-not just something you have to memorize for a test and never remember again. Education is meant to impact lives and change them for the better!My family is from Puerto Rico, and I have been speaking Spanish my entire life. I have a dog and his name is Mo and he is the love of my life :-). I love to travel, be with my close friends and family and DANCE. I love working with students and have taught and tutored from 4th grade through college. I look forward to working with you and helping you be successful in school.

I attend Elon University in North Carolina, where I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a Bachelor of Arts in Physics. I primarily tutor physics and math subjects. I especially love tutoring physics because it is an opportunity to make sense of the physical world surrounding us through mathematical relationships. Many students have difficulty with physics at first because it introduces new methods of thinking, so I love trying to help students reach that "click" moment where everything comes together. The actual calculations of physics problems may be daunting, but I aim to strengthen fundamental concepts during my tutoring sessions so that students feel confident to tackle difficult problems on AP and other standardized tests. Outside of my academic pursuits, I love music production, sound design, and song writing.

I am a sophomore at Elon University in North Carolina. I am studying biology, chemistry, and public health and I am on a pre-medicine track. At Elon, I am very involved in the College Fellows (Research) Program and I volunteer through the Kiwanis Family. I love working with kids and I love science, so being a tutor is a perfect fit! I have been tutoring since the beginning of high school and I have worked with students who learn best in different ways, so I can tailor my explanations to make sure the student understands everything. I know that this is not always possible in a classroom setting because one person is often teaching 20+ students, so I am extremely happy and grateful I have the opportunity to help through individualized tutoring.

I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Communication Design (graphic design) from Elon University in 2016. Throughout my senior year, I worked at the headquarters of Kindermusik International on website, marketing, and teaching tools. The following year, I decided to stay at Elon University and obtain a Master's of Science in Management with a focus in Operational Analytics. This degree was largely focused on statistics but also included background in accounting, economics, finance, and business management. Since graduating in 2017, I have traveled both domestically and abroad. During the summer of 2018, I received my TEFL certificate and moved to Vietnam to teach English for three months. In my free time I enjoy playing basketball, guitar, and piano, as well as cooking and exercising. Though I have experience in many fields, I mostly enjoy tutoring algebra, statistics, English as a foreign/second language, and guitar. I believe that it is essential for students to learn in a stress-free atmosphere and that true academic growth must come naturally. I try my very best to be myself in the classroom and expect the same from my students. I try to gain an understanding of their interests in order to keep tutoring sessions interesting.
