I am an English Educator. In May 2019, I received my Bachelor of Arts from Michigan State University in English. More recently, I have received my teaching certification in grades 6-12. My philosophy of teaching English Language Arts is centered around culturally responsive teaching. I am passionate about helping students because I believe that youth should be empowered to explore, experiment, and discover in ways that meet their needs.My teaching experience ranges across a diverse group of learners. Most of my experience is in Middle and High School as I engaged in service learning and practicums through my university in those placements. However, I have also worked with Elementary School learners in after-school and extracurricular programs. My work extends to adults in the community as well as I have worked in an educative role in an intentional housing organization. I also have traveled to various countries in Europe, South America, and Africa studying education. For five years, I participated in a Global Educator's Cohort Program that prepared me to work with diverse learners and create multicultural academic environments. Most recently, I spent the past school year student-teaching 10th grade Pre-AP English and 12th grade Creative Writing. Currently I teach 11th Grade British & World Literature and 10-12th Grade Creative Writing.I am currently available to tutor in English Language Arts related content at all age levels including but not limited to reading, reading comprehension, writing, essay writing, grammar and syntax, American and/or comparative literature, as well as ACT/SAT reading and writing prep.When it comes to one-on-one tutoring, my teaching philosophy is directed by an individualized approach. Using the resources from the course and/or exam that the student is preparing for, I work with the student to create meaningful scaffolds, practice work, and generative assessment. Building rapport with students is important to me so that I can best understand their learning preferences, styles, and needs.

I love learning new stuff! Although this is a simplistic statement this idea is at the heart of why I chose to become an educator. Every time I have the privilege of leading instruction either virtually or on-ground, I learn something new. The opportunity to pass that feeling on to students is why I am excited to have the opportunity to work with Varsity Tutors. My experience teaching college and high school students from various age groups, backgrounds, and different skill levels has perfectly prepared me to be help students further their understanding in the area of English literature and composition.Since moving to Las Vegas from Michigan I have been teaching for Clark County School District and the College of Southern Nevada. I look forward to tutoring and helping all students fulfill their educational endeavors. Thanks

I am a musician, a writer, and a word lover, originally from rural Northern Michigan but currently enjoying city life in Manhattan. I love to help students improve, whether for the sake of a class, a standardized test, or just a desire to hone their skills.If you're looking for help with your reading comprehension and writing skills, interested in growing your vocabulary and perfecting your grammar, or need some help with English class, literary analysis, or essay editing, I would love to help bring out the best in you as a reader and writer.If you're in the first few levels of French study and would like help improving your spoken, written, and reading skills, I can help with that, too.If you have a standardized test coming up, I can help you prepare for the SAT Verbal and Writing, ACT English, Reading, and Writing, or AP English Language and Composition exams. I can help you to understand the material and build strategies to succeed.

I have been teaching mathematics for 29 years. I have a major in mathematics and a minor in physical science. I am endorsed to teach both math and science. I went to Michigan State University for my BS and to Western Michigan University for my MS.

I am a recent graduate of Michigan State University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics along with a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies. Throughout my work as a tutor I have enjoyed helping students and peers one on one. I always love a good aha! moment where I can really tell that the subject matter is clicking. I take personal pride in watching my students learn. Most of my experience is in tutoring for high school and college level math and music. I also have experience assisting with high school Spanish. When I teach I try to help students fully understand the concepts and logic behind subjects. This way they not only can apply them on a test but they learn useful skills and ways to think and learn. I love learning as well as teaching and look to gain much experience from working with you. In my free time I listen to and play music, shoot hoops, practice yoga, and enjoy time outside hiking and such.

I've always loved school and learning. At the core of my teaching philosophy is the idea that anyone can learn anything, so long as the instructor is willing to teach to the student's style of learning. Most subjects came easily to me, but I hit a wall with math in middle school and just never seemed to be able to get it to 'click.' Then, I had a very patient teacher who helped me figure out how I could learn math, and it was like the wall crashed down. I would love to see every teacher have to teach his or her worst subject for a couple of years, in order to figure out how to become a better instructor.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Global and International Studies from Michigan State University and I am currently pursuing my Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). I have primarily worked with adult ESL/EFL learners, as well as middle school EFL learners. My favorite subjects to tutor are adult ESL/EFL, College English, English Grammar and Syntax, Adult Literacy, and Essay Editing. I am passionate about helping people to reach their full potential in order to reach their goals. I also like to make the tutoring process enjoyable for the learner.

Hi! My name is Samuel Aupperlee and I am a recent graduate of the University of Michigan studying Theatre (Playwriting) and Sociology. I have been tutoring since 2018 and spend a lot of time working with academic writing and essays, most often in the humanities. I am also available for any theatrical training or creative writing!

I am passionate about helping students because of the positive influence I can make in their education, of which I think is a key determinant in their future success in life. I have taught high school students in biology, chemistry, anatomy, beginning physics, from 2015-2019 and really enjoyed the relationships we developed and friendships. I am able to teach Algebra and Geometry without difficulty. I was also lucky enough to be involved in extra-curricular activities with them. I got my education in multiple places - Univ. of South Carolina, then transferred to Michigan State to graduate with my bachelor's degree in Biology. I went on to Des Moines Univ. to obtain my doctorate in Osteopathic Medicine. I did a 1-year general rotating internship a mid-sized community hospital and my residency for 3 years in Neurology and Psychiatry through many hospital and university systems at the direction of Michigan State Univ. I probably enjoy teaching and tutoring high school students in biology, chemistry, and college students in anatomy and physiology the most as they are my most comfortable subjects currently. But I am willing to branch out into test prep and other new areas as well. My teaching styles vary based on the number of students and types of students. For example, the facilitator, of the five types of teachers styles, promotes self-learning and self-actualization. This style in my opinion can only be done with the most intelligent and self-motivated students. I prefer hybrid or blended style for most students -- such as blending my personality and interests with the student's needs. In larger settings like lecture halls, I use the authority or lecture style, due to the inability to do one on one instruction truly and practically.

University student who enjoys helping others succeed. Some of my past teachers made understanding simple things extremely hard, I never want that for my students. My goal is to make you understand topics without all the stress! *Disclaimer: Clients who fail to attend a class without providing at least 4 hours' notice will be charged the full amount.
