I am currently a high school French teacher. I majored in French Education at Pittsburg State University, and am a licensed PK-12 French teacher in both Kansas and Missouri. During college, I completed a semester of student teaching for high school French levels I-IV. I was also a tutor for a French I class during my sophomore year at Pitt State. With Varsity Tutors, I will for all level of French learning. In my spare time, I enjoy painting, playing video games, and watching anime. Please note that my preferred method of contact is through the Varsity Tutors app.

I currently live in South East Kansas with my husband and two cats while I am completing Grad School at Pittsburg State University. I adore learning and graduated undergrad with 3 majors! I'm very creative and I'm professionally trained in theater. I've taught theater after school and in summer camp for three years, teaching kids how to be silly and express themselves while also learning responsibility at the same time. I have lived and worked in France where I taught English for 6 months in 2019/2020. My interests are widespread and extensive! More than anything I have a passion for helping students learn how to learn and what styles/methods work best for them! I have worked with students from age 5 to students in their 60s, both in person and virtually to help grasp concepts and improve their understanding of the material! I come from a different background as many, as I was actually in the same spot many of my students are when I was their age. It often shocks my students to hear I was NOT the star pupil and in fact was held back in the third grade and continued struggling until I got to college. This background has allowed me to not only connect with my students on a different level, but also I have been able to share with them my methods of going about problems that are unusual, but effective! This has resulted in a huge increase of their confidence as well as aiding in their schoolwork! My educational background is in psychology and I have lots of experience helping kids with anxiety and learning disabilities to build confidence and understand concepts in a fun and supportive environment!

My name is Tim, and I am a clinical psychologist. My bachelor's degree is in psychology; my master's and doctoral degrees are in clinical psychology. I have worked for 35 years as a clinician, in many different settings and with a variety of problem areas. Along with my clinical work, I have done a significant amount of teaching, at both undergraduate and graduate levels, at a variety of academic settings. Approximately 25-30 years of that experience has been part-time, and one year was full-time. I love teaching and helping people learn and discover things. Psychology is a fascinating and far-ranging subject with myriad applications. Actually, the subject of psychology is relevant to everyone, as we all behave and we all interact with the behavior of others. I love psychology, and I love sharing my knowledge with others.

I love to teach! I believe anyone can learn. A student has to be open to learn though and a great teacher can help to open a mind to that.Learning can be fun and especially when you work one-on-one with someone. The lessons can be focused to exactly what one needs and that really helps things to move along more quickly.After being in education for over 20 years, I am excited to work with new people and to experience teaching in a whole new way!

Hi, I'm Mark. I I'm a science educator with a doctorate in education from Kansas State University and bring almost four decades of teaching experience to my tutoring practice. I've taught and supported learners across middle school science (Life Science, Earth Science), high school biology, physical sciences, and college-level English, as well as language arts. My approach emphasizes curiosity and confidencehelping students ask questions, explore ideas, and master challenging concepts in a supportive environment. With licensure and endorsements in Kansas and Montana, I combine strengths in both science and the arts to connect with diverse learners. My goal is to ensure each student builds understanding and skills that extend beyond the classroom.

I truly believe every child can grow, and helping students see that growth in themselves is what I love most. There's nothing better than watching a student gain confidence and have that moment when learning finally clicks - it's worth celebrating! With my experience in elementary classrooms and as an interventionist and instructional coach, I know that every child learns differently. I focus on building strong relationships and getting to know each child as a whole, including their strengths, challenges, and anything that might be getting in the way of learning. I work to create a supportive space where students feel comfortable, encouraged, and ready to give it a try, because learning takes courage, and we're in it together! In our tutoring sessions, I'll meet your child where they are and help them grow into a more confident, successful learner. I'd love the opportunity to support your child's learning journey.

I am a recent graduate of Pittsburg State University, where I majored in Political Science and minored in philosophy. My focus as a tutor primarily covers writing and writing revision. Throughout all four years of college, I worked as a writing center consultant at the PSU Writing Center. As a consultant, I worked with virtually any type of writing assignment, from any field, and at any stage of the writing process. This includes typical writing assignments such as literature reviews, research papers, or persuasive essays, but I would also provide guidance on STEM-based lab reports, automotive diagnostics, entrance essays, philosophical works, and more. I have experience in assisting with any item of the writing process: grammar/sentence structure, focus, development, organization, citations/formatting, Microsoft Word/Google Doc usage, and style. I have tutored primarily fellow undergraduates in my experience, but I also would gain some experience working with graduate students on theses or potential publication entries. One of the biggest reasons I am passionate about tutoring is due to the ubiquitousness of writing and its application in nearly all walks of life. My favorite subject to tutor, I firmly believe that writing is one of the most valuable skills to obtain for any person who wishes to make a contribution to their field, find themselves at a higher position in their job, become a better communicator, or otherwise present their ideas in a clear manner. As the area of communication that allows for the most thought and time before its final form becomes set, the written word can and should become the clearest form of an idea before it reaches permanence. As such, as a tutor, I am determined to make sure those ideas reach that clarity so that they can be understood and then applied to their relevant field, turning an idea into reality. My teaching philosophy stems from this belief; in order to reach that point of clarity, it is important for me to understand and know how to reach the end goal of the other person's thoughts. I ask a lot of questions and tailor my response to the needs and goals of the person I am instructing, knowing that the best strategy is the one that works best for the learner, not necessarily the tutor. When reading or developing a paper, I am always on the lookout for both concerns of the learner as well as issues that the learner may not be aware of; this way, I address both the concerns of the writer, who knows their thoughts and assignment requirements better than I do, while still noticing problems the writer may not have recognized, which ensures that the piece of writing meets both the standards of the writer and the eventual audience.My interests include creative writing/essay writing, video games, movies, reading, metal detecting, and spending time with friends and family. My favorite genre of media is horror, and I love spooky works of any kind, such as The King in Yellow, the Resident Evil series, Midsommar, and more. I am also a big fan of sci-fi works, such as Childhood's End, Fallout, or A Scanner Darkly. I am open to all kinds of work, and I would be thrilled to explore new works or genres at another's suggestion. I also love writing my own works, and I have two published essays; I hope to add to this number one day.

I love math and it is everywhere. I have an undergraduate degree in Accounting with a minor in Mathematics from Pittsburg State University. I decided that teaching was for me so I went on and received a Masters in Arts of Teaching from Pittsburg State Univerty. In May 2014, I achieved my goal of getting a Masters in Mathematics from Emporia State University. I have taught high school math for 6 years and college level math for one year. I enjoy helping students achieve their goals. I have helped many students in math with their tutoring needs. I am a true Geometry fan at heart but I also enjoy Algebra.

Graduated from Pittsburg State University, which is a small college in Southeast Kansas, with a degree in Environmental Chemistry and minors in math and physics.
