I believe that all students possess the ability to learn new skills when the lesson is individualized. I will work with your student's strengths and support them through their weaknesses. Together we will reach their academic goals.

As a Peace Corps volunteer in Costa Rica, I spent two and a half years teaching students of all ages how to get and remain interested in learning. My experience working in an elementary and high school taught me that every student is different and there is no better way to engage a student than to be able to study with them one on one. Finding out their learning styles, and mutually developing an effective learning strategy helps both the student and myself succeed in achieving the goals of the student. I have experience tutoring students from young elementary children to adults with very little knowledge of the subject. I have the personal benefit of going from knowing very little Spanish, to becoming fluent, because I spoke Spanish everyday for two years with people who were native speakers. I know the methods it takes to effectively learn Spanish in a way that will make it a second language rather than just memorizing vocabulary and conjugations. I look forward to working with students of all types and will work hard to achieve the goals set by the student.

My name is Shalin. I am a Biology geek, currently enrolled in NYU pursuing a Masters in Bioinformatics. I love all things science, and am building a career working in Big Data. I love working with kids of all ages, and evaluate each child to determine what resources work best.

I am currently a graduate student, a Masters of Public Health candidate at Temple University concentrating in Epidemiology and Biostatistics. I have nearly ten years experience as an educator and a contagious passion and enthusiasm for teaching and learning. I am attuned to my students needs and seek to make the learning process as enjoyable and memorable as possible. What makes me a great tutor? I am as enthusiastic of a teacher as I am a student. I have been teaching and/or tutoring in some capacity since my first job at age 15. I have tutored in the areas of math, English (vocabulary and grammar), science, and social studies. As an undergrad, and a graduate, student I have often been called upon to lead study groups in various subjects. My most notable study group was for an undergrad Epidemiology class, where I created thorough and in-depth practice exams. Today, I facilitate a small writer circle/workshop for my friends every Saturday morning. I have just recently finished a 2.5 year position at The University of Pennsylvania;s Agatston Urban Nutrition Initiative where I taught nutrition and wellness, as well as some classroom gardening. I am most at home with students and am very excited by watching the light-bulb finally go off. I am a great tutor because I genuinely love to teach.

I am a college student who likes helping others to achieve academic success while enjoying the material they are learning. I hope to help individuals become better students and conquer tough subjects.

To start, I am a mom and I love spending time with family and friends. I enjoy biking (bicycles), cooking new meals, scrap booking and going out to lunch or dinner with my friends. I also advocate for children who are not receiving the proper services in the school system. I am passionate about children receiving what they need to be successful from the school system. Academically, I have earned three master degrees over the years. One is in business and the other two are in the field of psychology; School Psychology and Educational Psychology. I have spent a number of years working in the public school system as a school psychologist. I thoroughly enjoy working with children to help them achieve a level of success with their academics. I like to use a multi-model approach to tutoring which includes your typical paper and pencil work, computer based learning tools, hands on strategies and discussion based learning. I believe for a student to remain engaged and active in their own learning they have to enjoy it to some degree. The teaching has to be interesting, engaging and have some level of fun tied to it. The teacher/tutor needs to know their student(s) and what their learning styles are in order to create the most effective strategies. I believe a reward system is very helpful for students who have a very low level of motivation to do their school work. It can be a very simple system which does not require spending lots of money, if any. I thoroughly enjoy working with children with special needs and various learning disabilities. My background is in the field of special education and I am well versed on a variety of interventions that prove successful with students. I have worked with students at all levels and have learned that a one's confidence level plays a large part in their success. When one feels confident about themselves and their ability to learn the material they seem to progress a bit quicker than those who struggle with self-confidence. I will help to build your child's self-confidence as they learn. It can be a fun experience and something your child looks forward to instead of dreading doing their school work. I look forward to working with you and your student(s).

I am a currently a medical student who loves to teach. I completed my undergraduate degree at Rowan University in 2010 with a bachelors in Biology. After graduation I had the opportunity to work with students on SAT/ACT/MCAT biology Test prep and academic tutoring in Biology, Anatomy, and various levels of Mathematics. I enjoy sports, music, traveling and exploring the wonderful city of Philadelphia!

I am passionate about helping students with their executive functioning skills. I also love tutoring any K-4 subject! Creating a safe learning environment is my number one priority.

I'm a proud graduate of Temple University - Go Owls! - with a Bachelor of Arts in English and Economics. Having tutored GED students and led literacy circles, I've seen firsthand the value of education and reading. I love to read, everything from social commentary to dramatic novels, and I hope students I work with develop a lifelong love of literature. When not working or reading, I enjoy spending time with my pup, working on crossword puzzles, and seeking out the best cup of coffee.

Graduate of Temple University with a Bachelor of Sciences in Mathematics and a minor in Spanish Language.Throughout high school and university, my educational passions were sparked by a handful of dedicated tutors, professors, and teachers. It is my philosophy to pass on the passion for learning that was instilled in me by my mentors.

I am a grad student in Speech-language Pathology. I have been tutoring in college and graduate level writing for four months and a lover of school for as long as I can remember. I'm excited to help you, as best as I can, be a better student. Bring it on!

Here to learn and to help others learn! Creating an interest in learning and an understanding of the ways that knowledge can be intuitive and useful is key to creating life-long learners. Life-long learners can enrich their lives, both professionally and personally, much more effectively for the rest of their lives.I am currently a graduate student working towards an MFA in Creative Writing at Temple University. Prior to that, I have a year of experience teaching all subjects at a 10th grade level, and two degrees from the University of Arizona - A B.S. in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science and a B.A. in French Language, Literature, and Culture. I am passionate about learning more about the world and helping others to learn and understand more as well!

I just recently graduated The University of the Sciences. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Mathematics in the spring of 2018. While at the University of the Sciences I was a peer tutor for Calculus I and II, and I was a teaching assistant for General Chemistry, Microbiology, and Genetics. This Fall I will be pursuing my masters degree at Temple University in Actuarial Science. I tutor a broad range of subject areas mostly in the math and sciences. I believe that relating the material back to concepts that are relevant to our daily lives is the best way to learn. I have had extensive tutoring experience in the areas of calculus, statistics, SAT, ACT and SAT subject tests in chemistry, mathematics and literature, GRE quantitative and the MCAT. And my mantra is practice practice practice! The more problems that we do together the more success you will encounter. In my spare time I enjoy swimming, biking, trying foods from different cuisines and of course, watching Netflix.

I am an outgoing person that is well-rounded, organized and recently received a B.S. in Community Development from Temple University.I have greatly benefited from tutors in the past and hope to pay it forward by tutoring others.In my free time I love to learn about and research things that are sparking my interest as well as read, play games and watch tv.

I have a BA in Film and Media Arts and am currently pursuing an M.Ed. in Advanced Teaching. I have 10 years of experience in education and have worn many hats. I am skilled in social-emotional learning and take a student-centered approach to meet the individual needs and goals of every student.I am experienced in tutoring English at all levels, from English Language Learners to professionals looking to improve their writing skills. I have tutored K-12 students in reading, writing, and literacy skills and have taught English to students in China via an online platform. I recently spent two years managing an afterschool program where I assisted students in increasing their achievement rates in English Language Arts. My mission is for you to leave every session feeling more confident in your abilities, and have fun in the process!

I have an MBA from Temple University with a focus on Strategy. My Bachelor's Degree is from Chiba University with a major in Electronics Engineering. I have a deep appreciation of theoretical concepts and their practical applications that is why I was able to quickly apply these two bodies of knowledge to real life situations in various industries. Furthermore, over the years I was also able to mentor individuals from different backgrounds and ages; i.e. classmates, referrals and colleagues helping them achieve their objectives. I always found it rewarding to see faces shine during Aha moments of understanding and eventually see many of them improve their scores/performance.With regards to learning, I believe there are 3 keys: practice, practice and more practice! In other words, my message to you is be not afraid. Any seemingly complex knowledge can be learned with sufficient understanding and review. I am here to guide you every step of the way.When I am not working or teaching, I am cooking, exercising, reading, meditating or just being with friends having a relaxing time. As a footnote, pets and children are normally comfortable around me.

In May, 2015, I graduate from Temple University with a BA in English, completing a degree program begun in 1968. Since I returned to Temple a year ago, I have maintained a straight-A average in all courses. Furthermore, I am honored to receive Temple's Florence Duckworth Award for excellence in scholarship and leadership in English studies. This past year at Temple has been one of the most rewarding and delightful years of my life.Since 2009 I have been a trained volunteer tutor in Adult Basic English (ABE) and English as a Second Language (ESL) sponsored by Delaware County Literacy Council (DCLC). For ABE I have helped adult students with low-level literacy learn to read and write. For ESL I have helped adult legal immigrants master the language of their adopted country, the USA. I love this work so much that I left a successful career in investment accounting in order to complete my degree and teach English to adults. As part of an internship at Temple I am currently teaching an ESL evening class of six students at DCLC until July, 2015.As one can tell from my years of study, I am grounded in the old-fashioned instruction of English grammar and composition. This contributes to my tutoring success because I understand the basics that support a platform of literacy: elements such as the ABCs, sensible but flexible grammar, coherent sentence structure and functional parts of speech. My recent studies at Temple provided the latest research and theory in rhetoric, linguistics and the newest forms of digital literacy. Moreover, my recent experiences in the classroom provided bonding with college-age people in a peer relationship. I connect with the younger generation in special ways that were unavailable to me a year ago. As a result of my experience, I'm quite comfortable in both worlds of the English language: essential fundamentals and the new digital age.My writing skills are strong, as my Duckworth award attests. My first love is American and English literature. I'm a voracious readerso much so that I haven't owned or watched TV in decades. After all, I figure, why watch TV if I can read a book instead?

Many students think that math is something that you're either good at or you're not, and I want to change that. I believe that any student can succeed in their math classes with the right dedication and attitude. Over my years as a student, I have worked with others in helping them to not only understand concepts in math classes, but to be enthusiastic about their work.I am currently a sophomore at Temple University, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. My ultimate goal in my career path is improving sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of machinery. Though I am most experienced working with high school students, I would be an appropriate tutor for college students as well as I am in a more similar position to them. I hope to use my position at Varsity Tutors to further my tutoring experience and help students approach their coursework more effectively.

After nearly forty years as a trial attorney, it is time for me to move to a new phase of my career. Education is not really a ???new phase??? as trying a case to a jury is primarily an educational activity where the classroom is the courtroom. More than anything, a lawyer trying a case is a teacher.Additionally, having taught in a classroom, I know the profound rewards of inspiring older and younger students to become more than they were before they entered. Teaching is about the future.Each student with whom I work gets a learning program specifically geared to his or her needs and goals. As we work together, those goals and needs may change and the student and I will adjust accordingly. The way a student learns best is as unique as their fingerprint and that is the way my instruction is developed for each student.

My mission is to help students learn ways they can nurture themselves in areas they desire tutoring assistance and ultimately build the self confidence and self-efficacy to teach themselves. I have earned a Bachelor's Degree in music, studying bassoon performance and music theory. The journey to reaching there at first involved an attempt at a degree program in the science field, a gap year filled with self-discovery, and many bumps in the road. Coming from a Vietnamese immigrant, low-income family, I grew up learning how to make the most with what I have and how to strive to be better each day. I have always had a passion for helping others be excellent. I have tutored subjects from algebra to English writing to music theory, and it is a process I truly enjoy. Through tutoring sessions tailored to a holistic approach of students' abilities, my hopes are that they will leave sessions knowing they deserve the absolute best for themselves, and that they have the internal grit and drive to achieve their goals. My desire is for my students to leave sessions with me feeling comfortable with who they are, knowing I am an available, supportive resource at all times and feeling ready to take on whatever challenges they face. My vision for tutoring at Varsity Tutors burns with that same enthusiasm.

Tutoring provides me the opportunity to work with students and connect with them in a manner that influences their enjoyment of a subject. My passion is science and math because it explains how the world works, how nature works, and how all the phenomenon around us work. I want all students to enjoy science and math, and understand how they impact us in our daily lives. As I watch the learning process unfold, I am able to watch those connections being made, and nothing brings me greater satisfaction than seeing that moment when a student has that clarity and feels empowered that they mastered something they thought they never could.I take a collaborative approach to teaching to ensure thorough understanding of the material, allowing students to also enjoy the learning process, and focus on pertinent applications of the material extending beyond the scope of a single assignment. I like to break concepts down into smaller, easy-to-manage parts, and then bring them back together once each part is mastered.I earned my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and after 10 years as a police officer, decided to change careers to positively impact people through teaching. I will complete my Master's in Education at the end of the year. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my 4 children, and I am also interested in photography and reading. I have been tutoring science and math for the past year at the local community college.

As an Educator, it is my responsibility to ensure that my students receive a quality education in a safe environment. My students will receive quality support services from me. My education includes a Bachelor of History from Temple University and a Master's Degree in Teaching, Learning and Curriculum from Drexel University.

Learning should be fun and engaging. As a tutor, I strive to help my students grasp concepts intuitively rather than using a basic formulaic approach. I believe that a combination of hands-on practice and real-world connections is the best way to truly grasp a subject. I have always found math to be an extremely interesting field and I hope that you can leave my tutoring with a newfound respect for the art. The sciences, especially physics, hold a similar spot in my heart for their ability to describe and quantize the real world around us. Subjects I can tutor: Highschool Math AP Calc AB (5) AP Stats (5) Calculus 1, 2, and Differential Equations Physics 1 and 2 I'm a Temple University Honors College sophomore in Philadelphia, PA. where I am pursuing a bachelor's in electrical engineering with a minor in mathematics.

In my childhood, I have always required tutors to assist me in different school-related activities and always thought it was a bad thing. Later on, I realized that tutoring is not at all a bad thing but quite the opposite. Tutoring provided me with a lot of insight into particular topics and I was eventually one of the best students in class. Tutoring is not at all a difficult thing but it can help you with gaining your fullest potential in your studies.

I am a current college professor with 5+ years of higher education experience. I have taught biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, environmental chemistry, and statistics. I have tutored former students for graduate level tests such as the MCAT and GRE. I have a Bachelors and Masters degree in Chemistry from Temple University in Philadelphia. I tutor university level general and organic chemistry 1 and 2, environmental chemistry, statistics, high school level biology and chemistry, and graduate test prep (MCAT, GRE, and GRE subject tests). My teaching philosophy is to make things simple. I find students often get lost in the terminology and concepts. I try to make chemistry relatable and fun.

I graduated from Temple University with a Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry, then later entered New York University as a PhD candidate. I am a Philadelphia native and personally enjoy discussing my subjects. I have been teaching or tutoring in one form or another since my senior year of high school, and I plan to one day get a Master's degree in teaching science. My strongest subject is Chemistry, and I pride myself in knowing and sharing why things work the way they do. I consider Bill Nye one of my idols and wish to spark the same kind of passion for science in others that people like him sparked in me. When I am not working on something, I like to keep my mind sharp with puzzles and video games.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations from Lehigh University, which I attended, after earning an Army ROTC scholarship. Subsequently, I spent three years serving as an Armor officer at Fort Knox, Kentucky. It was there that I gained my first teaching experience. I instructed students ranging from new recruits to senior officers and enlisted soldiers. After completing my service obligation, I earned a law degree from Rutgers University and a Master of Journalism degree from Temple University. While working as a Graduate Assistant at Temple, I gained additional teaching experience in front of the classroom and with individual students in the computer lab. After graduating, I worked for 10 years in Public Relations, which allowed me to utilize my writing skills. As a Tutor, my focus is on Reading Comprehension, Grammar Usage and Writing. I believe that skilled language use is becoming a dying art and that a student who masters this can truly stand out from his or her peers. My job is to help our clients achieve that distinction.

I am a multi-lingual college professor. Teaching Mandarin Chinese and Asian philosophy are my passions. I have more than 1000 hours of teaching experience to professional clients. My clients include the employees of the Pentagon, Department of State, Agriculture, and Intelligent Agency, professors of U-Penn, U Michigan & North Carolina, and traditional students from graduate, undergraduate, and high school.Mandarin Chinese is my native language. I was born and educated in Taiwan. My B.A. degree (major in Philosophy), and first M.A. (major in Political Science) had earned by using Mandarin Chinese as a linguistic tool in the 1970s. In addition to that I also served as Senior Journalist in the "Press Division" of "The legislative Congress of Taiwan," and "A Senior Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy" for the "Fu-Xin-Gong University," Taiwan as well.English is a primary linguistic tool used to earn my Doctoral and second M.A. degree from Temple University, PA. My TOEFL score was 610 out of 650 in 1992. On top of that, I have been teaching college courses in the field of "Humanities' + "And Mandarin Chinese" since 1992. My English proficiency, including speaking, listening, writing, and reading comprehension is equivalent to the ILR 3+/4 levelTo be able to adopt and employ the advanced online teaching platform professionally is another trait mark of my teaching career. I have all the training and practicing in using Zoom Conferencing, Blackboard, Canvas, and Teams as well. My virtual lessons integrate the power-point presentation, video clips, audio sounds track, online discussing board, and small room interactive activities.

My teaching philosophy includes connecting with students on a personal level to establish a relationship of trust, and to provide students with an educative experience that inspires them to become lifelong learners. My passion for teaching children and for the Spanish language is a core part of who I am. I enjoy working with youth and learning their personalities, in addition to inspiring them and helping them to achieve their goals. I have gained professional experience working with children of various grade levels to support their developmental growth in both the academic setting and non-academic setting. I have worked as an in-class Spanish tutor, Student Teacher at multiple schools, as well as a CIT and lead Camp Counselor at two summer camps. From my experience and the education I received from Temple University, I learned to be more organized, flexible, patient, compassionate, as well as a better listener and how to reflect that in my instruction. I would be honored to be of service to any student seeking to improve their Spanish skills!

I am a senior at Temple University, striving towards my Masters degree in Media Studies and Production. I teach a variety of subjects including writing, music production and different software. I am incredibly passionate about helping others. I love watching students faces click when they understand a subject and I strive to reach that with every student I teach. I have had experience tutoring as a summer camp counselor at a writing intensive camp, as well as gotten to know different learning styles of students as a Resident Assistant at my university. In my spare time, I like reading, watching sitcoms and getting coffee with friends.

I'm here to tutor because I believe that my past experiences as a student has prepared me to help the next wave of students. As a self-starter and highly motivated individual, I truly believe that I can help any student reach their utmost potential. I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to help students excel.

I received my undergraduate degree in Biology from Temple University. I went on to complete my graduate degree at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in Biomedical science. After graduation I have taught grades 6th- 12th in Biology, Anatomy, Earth Science, Life Science, General Chemistry, as well as Organic Chemistry. I have been teaching for two years now as well as tutoring science for grades 6th-12th. I believe that each child learns at their own pace and that no two children learn the same. I like to create an enviornment conducive to learning where the students feel at ease. When I'm not teaching or tutoring I like to jog, read, as well as keep up on the latest movies.

I am a versatile Journalist who edits an established regional Chinese newspaper in the Philadelphia area.At Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, in China, I was a merit student with experience leading my student council and the university's orchestra. In Philadelphia, I earned my Master of Journalism degree at Temple University. I owe my knowledge to the great Teachers and entrepreneurs of American journalism and to those whom I interviewed, observed and documented. Now I want to pass my knowledge and experience on to my students.I am at the border of worlds, between China and America, between traditional journalism and new media, and between the growing-up and the grown-ups. I can teach Chinese language and communication skills to anyone who is interested. I can also prepare students for harder challenges such as the GRE.My philosophy for teaching Chinese focuses on communication. A lesson in Chinese should help you not only know more about the language, but also widen your horizons. I'd like to help students to master enough skill to generate communicable contents so that people can understand them and be impressed.You can learn how to start a conversation, write something powerful, making an encouraging speech, or even produce a multimedia project.

I am a computer scientist by trade, a statistician and mathematician by education and a voracious reader with an almost encyclopedic knowledge of many disciplines of human learning. And no, I do not know anything about sports, but will be able to help you with sports statistics.I teach in order to give you a deep understanding of the subject. I don't remember all the formulae of Trigonometry or Physics, but with deep understanding and highly honed skills, I can get to them in a jiffy. This is what I want the student to achieve. I teach how to translate English to Math and how to use this translation to solve problems.

My belief is that EVERYONE is capable of learning. Instead of focusing on disability or what is lacking, my students and I focus on strengths that can help us to reach our potential in areas that may challenge us. If you can grasp an understanding of how you learn best, the sky is the limit.I develop my lessons on individualized needs, strengths, and interests of my students. Learning should be FUN and the style that you learn in should be what works best for YOU!About me:-Graduated with honors from Temple University (Education and Special Education)-Freelance writer-Experience teaching ages 3 through adulthood-Highly qualified in English

For the past 6 years, I have dedicated my time and energy to helping others learn new things. I have always loved being apart of a student's growth in a skill or self-confidence.I received my undergraduate degree from Temple University for Music Education and am certified to teach in the state of Philadelphia. Throughout my own education, I have tutored and taught K-8 in math, English, music, and STEAM in large group classes and one on one sessions.All students have the ability to improve their skills and themselves. My mission is to facilitate their learning and improvement, through observation and thorough assessment of a student's needs.I am flexible, funny, and dedicated to every student and subject that I teach. In my free time, I enjoy reading, swimming, and the odd DIY project.

I grew up in a military family that was forced to relocate every few years, often internationally. As the result I became fluent in Russian, English, Spanish and proficient in French before I turned 18. As a freshman in college (2009), while studying International Studies, one of my classmates asked if I would help her prepare for the test in Advanced Placement Spanish and Literature. I agreed to help and therefore held my first tutoring session, and she ended up acing the test. This is when I found out I had a knack for teaching. My classmate was so happy with her results that she told her friends about it. Word of mouth got around, resulting in more and more students approaching me for help in foreign languages and social sciences, which started my career as a tutor. I began tutoring students in subjects like Spanish, Russian, ESL, as well as Psychology, Political Science, Criminal Justice and International Relations and undergraduate level Criminal law. Because I have been a student myself; I like to believe that I have an easy time relating to my clients and recognizing their educational needs. I find it extremely important that my students have fun during lessons, therefore I try to cater my lesson plans according to each student's individual learning style. I have a great deal of passion for education and the times when I notice results in my students, it makes my job as an educator that much more meaningful and fulfilling. I sincerely love what I do for a living, and I use my life and tutoring experiences to improve as a person and as an educator. I feel honored to be a part of Varsity Tutors, helping students achieve their educational and personal goals in life, therefore at the end of the day i go to bed knowing that i have done something meaningful and positive that day, that I have helped another person get ahead, and to me that feeling is priceless.

For over a decade I have taught college students in a variety of subjects including writing and rhetoric, reading comprehension, public speaking, interpersonal and gender communication, as well as both academic and business and professional writing. My pedagogy is rooted in the active learning model where students are encouraged to engage the material through practical activities, as well as through discussion. It's important to me that my students feel trusted and trusting, and that all of our work takes place in a supportive manner that builds self esteem, while also challenging the students to achieve their goals.

I am a professor of color committed to inclusive, intersectional learning. I have worked in higher education since 2015 and am beginning my tenure track position at Worcester State University this fall. I specialize in working with neurodiverse students and BIPOC, but all are warmly invited to study with me. My critical work has been featured in the Routledge Companion of Literature and Food, the Bloomsbury Handbook to Literary and Cultural Theory, and the Bloomsbury Handbook of Twenty-First Century Feminist Theory. I am also a published poet and an editor of Honey Literary, Sundress Publications, and Split Lip Magazine. My sessions are never boring, and you can count on me to keep it real and help you shine.
