I am a recent graduate from James Madison University with a degree in Spanish and Anthropology. In my experience tutoring Spanish at a college level, I learned that students see the greatest results with a more hands-off approach. In other words, students do better when they do their work themselves with the guidance of a tutor or instructor. Aside from my knowledge of Spanish and anthropology, I have experience with AP Spanish Language, Environmental Science, U.S. History, and U.S. Government. In my spare time, I enjoy digital and film photography, hiking, and the occasional Netflix binge here and there. I am available to tutor students whenever needed and can make accommodations for any and all students who need academic help.

I am a graduate of James Madison University. I double majored in English Literature and Arabic. In college, I started tutoring students of all ages. I assisted them in various areas of study, including essay and Arabic grammar. After college, I worked at a refugee center with children of immigrants. I helped them to adjust to a new environment, while simultaneously adapting to the public school curriculum. I am also a certified ESL/TESOL teacher and have experience teaching groups of students as well as providing individual lessons.Working in different environments, with a diverse range of students, encouraged me to explore more creative tutoring methods in order to understand and communicate ideas. Through my experience as a tutor, I developed a multifaceted approach to teaching and learning; a style that is adaptable and uniquely catered to each individual personality. I have found that humor and games are particularly effective in motivating students to achieve in subjects they may otherwise find dull or abstract.While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about languages and literature. I have spent much of my life traveling abroad and have a deep affinity for culture. Some of my hobbies are painting and drawing and playing music; I also love dancing and hiking.

I am a certified communications coach and tutor who helps professionals, executives and students hone their voices, build presence, and communicate with clarity and impact. Drawing on over a decade of experience in media, corporate communications and facilitation, I partner with students to identify the message they want to share, the audiences they need to reach, and the barriers that stand in the way. In our sessions, you'll gain a customized roadmap: we work on core fundamentals like clarity, structure and authenticity, while also developing adaptive skills for high-stakes settings like presentations and speaking engagements. I believe that strong communication isn't just a skill it's your most strategic asset.

I am a graduate of James Madison University. I received a Master of Teaching in Elementary Education PK-6 and a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Liberal Studies, Minor in Education and concentration in Math, Science and Technology. I am extremely excited to continue my passion for teaching children and helping struggling students! Growing up, I had my share of problems with school, which I now can use to better relate to my students. Having much experience in the classroom with all age levels, I have gained insight on the different ways to approach various topics and content knowledge. Throughout college I was very involved with the public school system around the area. At first, I was a math tutor for students K-8; then a mentor for a student to formulate better study habits and work ethic; and to conclude my college career, I student taught in various grade levels. Working one on one in a tutoring session, I really like to relate to the student and connect their experiences to what we are learning about. These connections trigger interest which then triggers motivation to learn. Being a creative and enthusiastic person by nature helps me form a positive relationship with my student so that they can trust that I will be able to help them. When I am not focusing my time on teaching, you can find me at a dance class, hanging out with my three brothers, or simply relaxing at the beach with a good book.

I make sure to teach history in a way that connects you with the subjects you're learning about, with a focus on your comprehension rather than some kind of memorization game. Schedule a session with me and let's learn some history together!

Credentials: I received my BA in Mathematics from Mary Baldwin University's Program for the Exceptionally Gifted when I was 18 years old. I also have a MS in Computer Science from James Madison University. I hold CISSP, Pentest+, and OSCP certifications. Experience: I have 6 years of experience teaching at the college level at University of Maryland Global Campus. The classes I have taught include: CMIT 386 Penetration Testing and Cyber Red Teaming CMIT 495 Current Trends and Projects in Computer Networks and Cybersecurity (Capstone) CMIT 425 Advanced Information Systems Security CMIT 321 Ethical Hacking I have also taught hands-on courses on penetration testing, reverse engineering, web application security testing, mobile security, and exploit development at cybersecurity conferences on six continents such as Blackhat, DEF CON, Brucon, Security BSides, and SecZone. I have also taught at training centers such as TSTC in Veenendaal, Netherlands. I have taught material I created myself as well as other organization's materials. I have experience teaching EC Council's Certified Ethical Hacker and am a Certified Ethical Instructor. I have also taught online through my own consulting company as well as for virtual conferences during the COVID-19 pandemic and for training companies such as O'Reilly. I have created highly popular on-demand training content for platforms such as Cybrary and Pentester Academy. I wrote Penetration Testing: A Hands-On Introduction to Hacking to be the learning resource I wished I had had when trying to independently learn penetration testing. That book has gone on to sell more than 15,000 copies in 5 languages. I later developed an accompanying online video series for Cybrary which has been viewed by more than 50,000 students. Collectively the books and video series have been cited by countless students as the resource most responsible for their pursuing a career in cybersecurity. Approach: I first became a teacher and tutor out of frustration at the lack of resources that were available to beginners in my field of cybersecurity. Though there is much more information available now, when I began my career in cybersecurity, I encountered many gatekeepers and esoteric knowledge bases. I began teaching introductory courses at cybersecurity conferences to help other newcomers, particularly women, minorities, and the neurodiverse get the prerequisite knowledge needed to excel in cybersecurity careers. Given the nature of what I most often teach, my approach to teaching is often dictated by the method of delivery. For example, if I'm teaching in person, I have much more flexibility than if I'm teaching online. Similarly, if I'm teaching a day long class things will be quite different than if I'm teaching a semester long class. I prefer using a student-centric/constructivist approach wherein the students are aware of the content that we are to cover and I assist those who encounter problems. However, the nature of our industry most often requires me to take a teacher-centric lecturing approach. When possible, I try to punctuate that with intermittent small-group instruction and/or project-based instruction. In general, I try and find the approach that seems to work best with the class or student that I'm tutoring. I am on the autism myself and am very familiar with the "girls can't computer" mentality of some in our industry. If you student is struggling with confidence, I am the tutor for you. I am particularly interested in helping women, minorities, and the neurodiverse. I am well versed in working with varying learning styles as well as neurodiversity such as autism, ADHD, etc. It is my belief that neurodiversity can be a super power and am committed to helping students find learning strategies that work for their brain.

As a writer who became established with years of practice, schooling, and personal growth, I know the pain that comes with writing. Having learned a great deal from some of the greatest writing professors, I know how to connect with other writers, relate to a topic at hand, and mold a piece into the best it can be.I have collaborated with fellow writers in peer reviews so much that I know and care about the work of others. I take joy in learning from the criticism of those at the same learning level as I am. The critique of a teacher versus that of a fellow student can often feel different. Having recently graduated from college, I can teach as though I am your classmate.Finding the smallest piece of relevancy in a topic makes it all the more easy to write and care about what you're writing. I know the struggle of writing in topics I have no interest in, and I know how it feels to really care. Your best writing shows when you take the time to reflect and build upon your ideas.I am a writer who looks forward to growing from my students, hoping that they learn too, from myself and about themselves!

Hola! I have taught Spanish for five years at the high school level. Unlike many other Spanish teachers I did not like Spanish in high school. In fact, I struggled a lot with it. However, after high school I was able to live in Mexico for two years and learned to love the language. Because of these experiences I know what it is like to struggle with the language, but I also know ways to make learning it easier and more understandable.Through college I also gained experience writing essays and research papers. I acquired valuable knowledge and techniques in formal writing.I currently work for my church as a director of religious education throughout western Pennsylvania. I have degrees in Philosophy and Religion (as well as Spanish) which give me a broad knowledge base and skills in textual analysis and application.

I am a current senior at James Madison University studying Geographic Science and Intelligence Analysis.I tutor history starting at the elementary level going all the way up to the college level. I have not only taken the regents, AP and SAT subject tests in the history sector, but I have been tutoring this subject for 5+ years to a variety of students of all ages.

I am a two-time graduate of James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, receiving a bachelor's degree in English in 2008 and a master's degree in secondary education in 2009. Since graduation, I have worked teaching high school English and coaching wrestling in a relatively poor and rural district just south of Richmond. Though I am fully qualified and capable of tutoring any subject related to English, one of the things I have enjoyed the most success with as a teacher is preparation for standardized tests. I also very much enjoy teaching British literature and the writing process. There is no better feeling to me than seeing the gratitude in a student's face when he or she exceeds expectations and can go on to complete the next step in his or her educational journey. Outside of teaching, I am a rabid baseball fan (Let's go, Mets!), I love going to concerts, and I enjoy hanging out with my cats.

I have a strong background in English. My years of travel experience have helped me develop excellent cultural sensitivity and awareness, and I work well with people from all backgrounds. I am especially familiar with critical analysis of film and theater, but have studied a variety of literary traditions.

As a dedicated tutor with a Master's degree in Forensic Psychology from George Washington University and a Bachelor's in Psychology with a Minor in Special Education from James Madison University, I am passionate about fostering a supportive learning environment for my students. With over 2 years of experience in special education, I utilize a personalized approach that focuses on each student's unique strengths and challenges.

In my free time, I enjoy playing and watching sports, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.

I am a 2011 graduate of James Madison University and 2013 graduate of Pennsylvania State University. I hold both a B.S. and an M.S. in chemistry. I've taught General, Organic, and Advanced Organic Chemistry Laboratory in addition to being a TA for Organic Chemistry lectures. As a Varsity Tutor, I tutor high school chemistry (general, honors, and AP), test prep (Regents, SAT Subject Test in Chemistry, GRE Chemistry), General Chemistry lecture, Organic Chemistry Lecture, and Inorganic Chemistry lecture.My tutoring style is student-centered. I believe it is my job to provide students with the tools to solve chemical problems, not to solve problems for them. The most common problem I've encountered in learning Chemistry is application. An individual can understand Geometry because they can build a fence. You can understand Physics because you can calculate how fast a baseball is thrown. But how do you understand problems on a molecular scale? I've successfully battled this obstacle since I was a sophomore in college and I look forward to continuing to succeed with my students.Outside of being a tutor, I love all things soccer. I have played since high school and keep active with my company's team. I can play any position, but I'm a trained goalkeeper. Additionally, I love watching soccer. I'm an avid Liverpool fan and I am looking forward to the 2014-2015 season!

I recently graduated in May from James Madison University. I received a Bachelors of Science in Chemistry with a minor in math. I have studied math through multivariate calculus, and while at JMU took advanced courses in physical and quantum chemistry. I am extremely familiar with general chemistry, and tutored throughout my junior and senior with the JMU Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society. In addition, I have spent hours upon hours talking with other students in study sessions and professors at poster sessions and national research conferences. All of this means, I am very proficient in explaining chemistry and math to both beginners and students who are dealing with more rigorous courses like AP and college level chemistry. I am a Richmond, VA native, and since graduation have moved back to Richmond to remain close to my family. I am passionate about alternative energy and the role chemistry plays in driving that technology forward. I am fascinated by polymer chemistry, and in my spare time love to play music, read, and explore the great outdoors.

I graduated from the University of Georgia School of Law with a Juris Doctor in 2014, and from James Madison University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2011. I have worked with students in a variety of settings, most notably as a substitute teacher (primarily middle school) and as a Resident Advisor for college Freshmen. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but am most focused on LSAT/law school related subjects and psychology. I believe we never truly stop learning, and have found that I learn best when helping others to learn - whether dealing with academics, hobbies, or just life lessons. In my free time I enjoy reading, watching movies, and playing board games with friends.

I have been teaching elementary school students for 22 years. I have experience in Kindergarten - 3rd grade. I love making students feel valued and I love to have fun while learning. I have twin daughters who are 17 and I am married to a Fire Captain.

I am a graduate of the arts management master’s program at George Mason University and winner of the Capstone of the Year award for excellence in research, writing, and presentation of the capstone thesis project. I have a history of working in accessibility and research in the arts and am interested in creating dialogues on the ways in which the arts—and the ways our businesses and government support the arts—are an essential component of our everyday lives. To quote Jane Chu, “Although many may not realize it, the arts actively intersect with areas such as the economy, human development, and community vitality. The arts and artists are an integral part of the solution to the challenges we face in all parts of our society.”I am also interested in international arts policy, having visited over 25 countries while living and working abroad for more than four years. I am passionate about exploring the ways that the arts can unite disparate cultures and communities.I previously served with AmeriCorps*National Civilian Community Corps: Southwest Region, focusing on disaster relief and community development, and later spent three years working internationally with underserved students.

My first two years of college were the most difficult because I didn't know how to study. I mimicked the ways that my professors taught as a study tactic, and often found myself ill-prepared for tests. After toying around with different studying methods, I found that illustrations, repetition, and asking why or how worked best. This academic journey set me up for success academically and professionally! I hope to help students nurture studying habits that can do the same! I've studied a myriad of different scientific and mathematical disciplines and feel comfortable tutoring biology, chemistry, nutrition, algebra, and pre-calculus, among other topics! I've also completed a minor in French, which has made me moderately proficient in French grammar, reading, writing, and comprehension.

I believe that every person has the ability to succeed. They just need the opportunity and support to do so. I hope that with my support and the utilization of clients' personal interests and skills we can work together to be successful. As Einstein says "Everybody is a genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

I am a passionate and engaging tutor with over 10 years experience supporting K-9th graders with ADHD, ASD, Anxiety, and other special needs, as well as Gifted/AAP students, in math, reading, and writing. I studied Psychology and Neuroscience at James Madison University and Georgetown University, and am the mother of two children with special needs. I am an expert in tutoring kids with Dysgraphia, which often comes with ADHD. I have experience teaching ESL/ELL, Scratch coding, Science, and Coping / Organizational skills. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a fun, safe, and engaging learning environment tailored to each student. I always incorporate games and fun activities to reinforce learning! I strive to identify and refine a students unique gifts and skills, empowering them to overcome challenges they face.

I've tutored extensively in individual and group settings. While in college, I worked for a local high school tutoring groups of students through the AVID system. At the same time, I also tutored an individual who was failing four out of his five core classes. In three classes he had less than a 40%, and was in danger of dropping out of school. After four weeks of tutoring, he was passing all his classes. He graduated on time the following year and now attends community college.I'm a great tutor because I have a comprehensive understanding of all subjects, and a extensive understanding of English and literature. I scored fives on my English Language and Literature AP exams, and have only continued my English abilities by studying English in college. I also communicate well and can explain material in a way students can understand. More than just teaching material, I encourage and build confidence in students who feel insecure and unable to learn because of past failures in their school work.
