Hi! My name is Zina Yonten and I am currently taking the Fab-academy course out of Dassault Systemes in Waltham. I have a mechanical Engineering degree from TCU. During my undergraduate years, i tutored underclassmen precalculus and calculus 1 with 100% success rate. I also tutor economics since it was one of my favorite classes and i excelled in it. In my free time I play basketball.

I have been a Registered Dietitian for 29 years. My main focus professionally has been in Clinical Nutrition (inpatient, outpatient and community) as well as teaching nutrition classes to students in a culinary arts program. I enjoy helping students achieve their academic goals.

Hello,My name is Tyler and I am excited to be working with Varsity Tutors. I currently teach middle and high school social studies at Bishop Dunne Catholic School in Dallas. I teach 8th Grade US History, Spanish 3, AP Microeconomics, and Economics. I also have experience tutoring middle school Math while in college.I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and still have family there. I very much enjoy spending time with them when I am able to return home. I am also an avid sports fan and follow my teams passionately. In my free time, I love attending sporting events and spending time with friends and family. I am particularly fond of a good cup of coffee and conversation.

I believe that helping others is the greatest thing you can do in life and that is what I am here to do. I'm here to help you with whatever you need and do it with a very patient and different approach.

I am a graduate of the Honors College at TCU with a BBA in Entrepreneurial Management, minor in Spanish, and certificate in International Studies. I am a part of 3 start-up companies but I love tutoring so I can help students and fund my travel/scuba hobbies.While I have tutored in various subjects much of my experience is in English, in both Spain and the US, as well as Spanish. My favorite subjects are reading/writing, physics, and language because they enable us to describe our world. As a tutor my approach is focused on student discovery which creates confidence in and retention of the subjects.Outside work I enjoy vinyl music, eating/cooking, and sleeping in a hammock while fixing my tan.

I am a 2015 graduate of Texas Christian University with a double major in Economics and Political Science. I am currently an Associate Account Executive for Crystal & Company in the Employee Benefits department. While I was a student, I worked for 2 years as an in-home tutor for kids grades 6-12 and focused on study skills, organization and assistance with homework in math, English and Spanish and SAT preparation. During the fall of 2014 I worked with the TCU Athletics Department where I help the TCU Student-Athletes with Calculus and Economics. I enjoy tutoring both Math and English/writing because I am an analytical thinker and like to encourage students to challenge themselves and reach new goals. I was a Dean's List student for 6 semesters and have been awarded the Priscilla Tate research prize for Women and Gender studies at TCU as well as 2015 Texas A&M Outstanding Undergraduate Research prize for the Project for Equity.Outside of work, I enjoy watching college football, being active outdoors and spending time with my friends. My experience as a tutor has helped me learn how to cater to different learning styles and has taught me how to approach issues from different angles. I am both prompt and professional and would love to help your child grow into a successful student.

I believe piano lessons are one of the best gifts anyone can ever give, either to themselves or to their child. It is a gift that remains for life, and can always be treasured.Over twenty-four years, I have encountered every type of learner, and approach each one individually. I tailor my lessons toward the individual's strengths and learning style, and in doing so, create a positive musical experience.

I am currently a Senior undergraduate student at Texas Christian University pursuing my B.S. in Chemistry. My passion for teaching ensures a positive learning atmosphere and course success!

I have a B.S. in elementary education, two specializations in special education including dyslexia, and certifications in reading, math, social studies, and science all with honors from Texas Christian University. Later, I returned to TCU and earned a master's in general education, with honors, which gave me the flexibility to continue to develop exceptional reading strategies. In the first years of teaching special ed, my students were behind in so many classes, and they desperately needed to learn to read. The traditional process of teaching reading was not working to reach them. I researched available reading programs and began to see a need to develop my own based on Orton-Gillingham and Wilson reading principles and strategies. Over the years, I taught specific reading strategies for each of the reading skills, enabling students to experience exceptional success. I developed a multimodality phonetic component, coupled with cognitive mapping sound lists which enabled my students to double their fluency and therefore increase their comprehension. I trained parents so they could help their child at home and volunteers to supplement in the classroom. My comprehension strategies led to exceptional scores on the state standardized reading tests. We scored in the top 6% of Texas reading standardized test scores which was unprecedented for a low-income minority school. My students continually made two and sometimes three years of reading progress in a single year. Several classes won state reading awards, and I have received six Teacher of the Year Awards. I have been a reading specialist for 16 years. I have also taught general ed, gifted, dyslexic and ESL. I love to help students open their world to find the joy of reading. There are several strategies that set me apart from other teachers and enabled my special education students to progress enough to return to the general education classroom, my gifted students to make multiple years progress, and my general education students to earn multiple state reading awards: 1. I test every student over every foundational sound including the blends. I then remediate all missing sounds and monitor the students to ensure mastery is not lost. This is critical if our students are going to make exceptional progress. 2. I cognitively map all the critical phonetic rules using sound lists for each vowel and other sounds. This has helped my students double and triple their progress. 3. I directly teach all the vocabulary words in each story in each book. I write down every word my student misreads or doesn't know. I teach all those missing sight vocabulary words filling the gaps so they can continue to make unprecedented progress. Monitoring the development of their sight vocabulary almost always guarantees they will be great readers. I specialize and have had tremendous success in helping students who read one or more years below grade level catch up and even read above grade level. I ended my career teaching adults in the prisons. This was an easy transition since I had found opportunities to teach reading to adults at different times in my career.

I am a graduate of Texas Christian University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Economics and Political Science. During this time, I was a tutor for the Departments of Economics and Mathematics, where I gained a passion for seeing the "click" of knowledge, where information becomes made personal. Since graduation, I have have been pursuing my Master of Public Administration at the University of Kansas. My career mission is to work in City Management, applying math, social sciences, communication, and other fields to serve the public in a multidisciplinary manner. I am a firm believer in being a well-around, global citizen, so that entails being moderately versed in many fields of study. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Economics, Math, and Standardized Testing. I believe that education is the path to an enlightened life, so I look forward to joining you on that journey. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, film/television, stand-up comedy, and playing/watching all sports.

Hi! My name is Erica, and I have a degree in Neuroscience with a strong background in biology, chemistry, psychology, and other health science subjects. I love helping students build confidence in challenging topics by breaking them down into simple, manageable steps. My goal is not only to help you find the right answer but also to understand the concepts behind it so you can apply them independently in the future.

As a dedicated educator, I am deeply passionate about sharing the richness of the Spanish language and its diverse cultures. My teaching philosophy is rooted in my own heritage, and I strive to create an environment where students don't just memorize vocabulary but truly connect with the language. I find great joy in helping my students overcome challenges and helping them develop a lifelong curiosity for learning and growth.
