Hello Learners! As a tutor, my goal is focused on building a relationship with my students to help better understand what they need to succeed! I love tailoring my lessons to incorporate students' passions and personal interests, making learning fun, engaging and applicable! I love going on adventures and learning new things myself, and I encourage trying new things and asking questions! I have worked with children of all ages in dance, music, performance, and core elementary subjects most of my life, and love watching each of my students succeed! Let's set goals and achieve excellence together!

I started my educational journey after high school at the Ohio State University in engineering. I finished with a Bachelor or administrations from Indiana Wesleyan, then a Master of Education in Special Education with a reading endorsement from Notre Dame College. I believe in life long learning. I believe every person learns differently and the education system should help each student determine their best way of learning.

I love seeing people learn and become the best versions of themselves. That is why I prefer to know my student(s) beyond just the subject I am tutoring them in. I want to know their interests and help them see how their learning can go beyond just the classroom. I love to have conversations with people, allowing them to figure out the answer on their own, with me helping guide them. Growing up, I had tutors help me in many of my subjects. I would not be where I am now without them. They made me feel empowered and like I could actually accomplish the tasks school was giving me. I want to give that same feeling to others. I got my education at Indiana Wesleyan University, and have a lot of experience teaching one-on-one and in classroom settings. I enjoy math, languages (I speak three), and theology. I also love learning and am a quick learner, so I am all for taking on challenging subjects with my students to help them learn as we grow together.

Hello! I am a certified math teacher for grades 5-12. This is my 27th year of teaching! I love to teach and help students get a better understanding of mathematics. I believe "The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics." - Paul Halmos. Everyone has a little different learning style and I will try my best to work with you to gain more confidence in math. I have taken a break from the traditional classroom this school year, but I do miss the students and teaching - so I can not wait to work with you!

I have a master's degree in education from Indiana Wesleyan University, a bachelor's degree in elementary education and an English as a Second Language endorsement from Indiana University. I have been teaching in an ESL classroom for 15 years, I understand the challenges language learners have. I am excited to help your son or daughter improve their skills.

Hello! I am a certified elementary educator with over six years of classroom experience and a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I am passionate about helping students build confidence while mastering new skills. I believe every child learns differently, so I tailor each lesson to meet each student's individual needs, learning style, and goals. Whether your student needs extra support, wants to stay ahead, or is preparing for an important assessment, I create engaging, encouraging lessons that make learning enjoyable and effective. My goal is not only to improve academic performance but also to help students become confident, independent learners. I look forward to helping your student reach their full potential and achieve success!

I have been lucky enough to work with many students as an educator for the past 10 years. I received my Bachelor of the Arts in Psychology for Marian University in Indianapolis and my teaching certification from Indiana Wesleyan University. Since becoming a teacher, I have worked with students in many different settings from rural to urban in both private and public schools. My prior teaching experience has been diverse as I have been a general education teacher, Title I teacher, language arts teacher and special education teacher. In fact, I have had the opportunity to work with students in grades 1st-8th at some point during my career! While I tutor many subjects, I am most passionate about reading intervention and teaching the Orton-Gillingham method. In fact, I recently completed training necessary to qualify as a Dyslexia Specialist in Indiana. The most rewarding things about being a teacher is seeing my students have that "AHA!" moment and grow in confidence during our time together. My philosophy when working with students is that learning should be fun, meaningful and engaging and something that sparks their interest in becoming lifelong learners. In my free time, I enjoy reading (especially mysteries), watching movies, spending time with my family and friends and learning new things that will help me to grow both personally and professionally.

I am a freelance writer and entrepreneur with over five years of professional sales experience.

During my seminary/graduate coursework, I was able to construct my own theology course; creating my own syllabus, learning goals and course objectives. I also have experience in practice teaching as a Teacher's Assistant in seminary. I have helped facilitate and evaluate learning in both classroom and online contexts. I have served (briefly) as a Substitute Teacher, before being hired as a regular Instructional Assistant for Special Education. I am teaching high school students. My closest colleagues and peers, previous professors and supervisors can testify to the fact that I have exceptional communication skills and have a remarkable, positive influence on others.My long-term career goal is to be an instructor of religion/spirituality/theology in higher education.I enjoy listening to music, while taking a walk, eating different foods, watching comedies, hanging out with friends and reading books and other literature on contemporary issues and theology.I look forward to joining you in this voyage of learning!

I am a highly compassionate, organized, and reliable tutor/mentor with a passion for learning. I offer patience, active listening, problem-solving skills, and commitment to students' overall academic journey. Likewise, I believe every student has the ability to unlock their full potential and achieve their goals! As of 2018, I received my Master's degree in Student Development and Administration, along with a Life Coaching Certificate, from Indiana Wesleyan University. In addition, I received my Bachelor's degree in American History, with a minor in Psychology from DePauw University. Since graduation, I have had the opportunity to tutor/mentor college-bound students at my former high school. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about History, Spanish, and Study and Organizational Skills. I am a firm advocate of education, believing that everyone has a right to be curious and appreciate the world around them. In my spare time, I enjoy drawing, shopping, baking, photography, and the occasional scrapbooking!

I believe in tutoring because we are all capable of learning something new about the world in any discipline. I come to Varsity Tutors after two years of tutoring experience at the Center for Student Success at my university and teaching an introductory economics course for a homeschool co-op. In a few months, I will be graduating summa cum laude with a B.S. in Economics from Indiana Wesleyan University, and I intend to begin a Master's in Public Policy within a few years. I tutor most economics courses and specialize in "the economic way of thinking," but my second major in humanities and minor in political science allow me to help students in government, philosophy, and writing as well.To me, tutoring is guidance, but I am prepared to instruct if need be. My job is not complete until a student realizes the potential within themselves to not only succeed on tests but also understands the way to think about the subject. I can give a student a fish, but they are better off being taught how to fish.Outside of my academic life, I am a freelance public policy writer with over thirty articles published online. I participate on three student government committees, produce electronic music, and have played tennis for thirteen years.

Do you hate school? Feel helpless and hopeless? I know that feeling well! I used to feel that way until I went to college. Now, I am a teacher! After lots of frustration and great struggles, I realized that everyone can learn. With a positive growth mindset and the right support, all goals are achievable. I have taught and tutored students from kindergarten to college. I have been teaching English and English as a New Language at the middle school level for the last thirteen years. As a parent with two children currently in college, I know what it takes to get there and be successful. My favorite subjects to teach and tutor are reading and writing. I believe that good readers become good writers. Good readers and writers learn to think critically and become great communicators. All subjects are connected to reading and writing! In my spare time I am a huge music fan. My own children tell me that I am occasionally funny and sort of cool, but what do they know?

My mission is to aid you in achieving a better understanding of the subject matter you may be struggling with. I have been in your place as I required a math tutor during my high school years. I have also previously been a tutor.I find enjoyment in learning and helping others grasp concepts. My work experience has placed me in both animal and human health care. Both of which require excellent customer service and patience. As an adult, I went back to night school and completed my Bachelor's Degree and then Master's Degree in management. I am here and ready to help you.

As a passionate educator and coach, I love to see young minds blossom as students develop the same passion for learning that I have! I have worked as an educator for over 18 years, eight years of those working directly with Middle School and High School math students, and six years working with students who struggle with learning disabilities. I have tutored in grades 1-12 for anything from math (Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry), reading (phonics, comprehension, reading in content areas), writing (essays, research papers, novels), humanities (US and World History, Geography), and test prep (ACT, SAT, PERT, ASVAB). I specialize in making complex ideas and tasks simple and helping students see the connections between all learning.

I have 20 years of teaching experience and I feel that i am well prepared to meet the needs of anyone who would like to get tutoring from me. I will do my best to make sure the students knows his/her material and help him/her as best I can.

I am a Fulbright Scholar with over 20 years of higher education experience. I have a two Bachelors, three Masters and a research doctorate. I'm currently a Dissertation Supervisor in a PhD program at a University. I vibe well and meet people where they are at. SAT, ACT, GRE, PSAT, many subjects... I look forward to the journey!

Teaching has always been a natural extension of my passion for medicine. As a medical graduate, I had the privilege of serving as a teaching and research faculty member in the Department of Anatomy, where I was deeply involved in educating medical and paramedical students. This experience allowed me to combine my love for medicine with my enthusiasm for helping others understand and apply complex concepts. In the anatomy department, I taught subjects ranging from gross anatomy and embryology to basic histology. I adapted my teaching approach to meet the needs of students from diverse academic backgrounds. Medical students benefited from clinically oriented explanations that connected structure to function and disease, while paramedical students thrived when I presented concepts in a clear and accessible way. This experience reinforced my belief that effective teaching requires patience, creativity, and the ability to inspire curiosity. Alongside teaching, I actively participated in academic research, which strengthened my analytical thinking and evidence-based approach. Research allowed me to show students why concepts matter, not just what they are, which helped make learning meaningful and engaging. Mentoring students during practical sessions and encouraging questions became one of my most rewarding experiences, as I could see their confidence and understanding grow with guidance and support. What excites me most about tutoring is the opportunity to make a direct impact on a student's learning journey. I enjoy discovering each student's unique strengths and challenges, helping them build confidence, and watching their understanding deepen. Medicine has taught me the importance of compassion, precision, and continuous learning, and I bring these same qualities to teaching. I am eager to share my passion for medicine and education with students through Varsity Tutors, supporting them in achieving their academic goals.

I am an English teacher because I believe that there is intrinsic value in learning through literature, written word, and speech both as an individual, and as a whole. The focus of my teaching philosophy is critical and higher level thinking. I have a special interest in British and American literature, as well as journalism. I am extremely interested in working in a school that focuses their instruction on differentiation and accommodations to diverse learning needs. I am eager to continue using my acquired skills and education. In addition, I bring passion, dedication, and determination, in my students and myself. My goal is to take my knowledge and impart it on the youth of Jefferson County. I am particularly interested in this position because I want to teach students how to find joy in learning through these mediums. A technology based, family and student oriented community is an ideal community. I thrive in a community and school that incorporate all of these.My teaching experience and college courses have enabled me to develop my skills in using many different types of media, most notably, technology, and I have thoroughly enjoyed putting those skills to good use during my time as a teacher thus far. I have gained deep interest and experience in the area of RTI, and look forward to displaying my knowledge of catering to students with specific learning needs. I believe that learning can be filled with enthusiasm, enjoyment, and passion for both the student and the teacher.

I am an educator who meets students where they are at and assess weaknesses and strengths to help each individual student be successful.

I'm a senior at Indiana Wesleyan University, studying Economics, Political Science, and Humanities. I'm a student of the economic way of thinking and an aspiring teacher of the same, hopefully in a university setting someday. The economic way of thinking is valuable to anyone who will learn it and applies to everyday life.

Hello. I have my bachelor's in communications from Indiana Wesleyan University and my master's in English. specializing in writing, rhetoric, and literacy from Arizona State University. I currently teach undergraduate English at Ivy Tech Community College in Indianapolis, IN. I absolutely love teaching and am so excited to have the opportunity to help you in your academic journey. One of my favorite things about teaching is getting to know students individually and watching them grow. I look forward to working with you.

I take great joy in helping a student understand mathematical concepts and articulating the beauty of math and, hopefully, becoming something of a role model to my students. I have been tutoring with Varsity for over a year in subjects ranging from SAT Math and SAT Reading/Grammar to Writing, Algebra I, and Precalculus. I have a degree in philosophy and theology and humanities from Indiana Wesleyan University, a small evangelical Christian college in Marion, IN, and I plan to embark on further study in the future. While attending Indiana Wesleyan, I also took several advanced math and statistics courses, including Calculus I, Applied Statistics II, Discrete Math, and others.

I enjoy assisting and tutoring students to help them achieve their fullest potential. If students are interested, I enjoy helping them explore additional opportunities in the subjects that may interest them.
