Hello! I am a current medical student at the University of Michigan Medical School. I studied biology, business and Spanish at the University of Alabama, graduating summa cum laude. During college, I worked as a tutor with a tutoring company similar to Varsity Tutors where I taught college/high school/middle school Spanish, Chemistry, English, Biology, and Math. I also worked as an English as a Second Language volunteer instructor for 3 years during college and was an English Teaching Assistant at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana in Medellin, Colombia.I have experience working with adults and youth, alike, and my teaching style is to tailor my tutoring sessions to my students' unique learning styles. I try to use lots of examples, ask questions to test understanding, and draw diagrams or pictures to help students grasp material.I am excited to work with Varsity Tutors and would be delighted to be your tutor!
I have over 9 years of experience tutoring students preparing for teacher certification exams and hold degrees in English and Education, as well as a technical writing certification. I enjoy helping students strengthen their reading comprehension so they can break down test questions and avoid common multiple-choice mistakes. I also guide students in using exam specifications to study strategically and focus on what is most likely to appear on the test. My goal is to help every student feel confident, prepared, and calm on test day. I would love to help you achieve success.
"What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child."-George Bernard Shaw
As a current Mechanical Engineering student at The University of Alabama, I am passionate about sharing my love for STEM subjects, particularly in mathematics and science. With experience tutoring a variety of courses, including AP Calculus, AP Statistics, and High School Physics, I strive to create engaging, supportive learning environments where students can thrive. My teaching philosophy centers around understanding each student's unique learning style and filling in knowledge gaps through interactive problem-solving and real-world applications. I believe that instilling confidence in students is crucial, as I want them to realize their potential and foster a growth mindset. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring new teaching methodologies and learning about the latest developments in engineering. I am dedicated to helping students succeed academically while nurturing their curiosity and enthusiasm for learning.
I have experience teaching in all grades, K-6. I completed my first full year of solo teaching in May. It was an incredible learning experience and the knowledge I gained from my first year is irreplaceable. I worked with a variety of students from vast educational backgrounds. Working with these students made me develop and incorporate many different instructional strategies to suit their learning styles. I am very enthusiastic about education and this is evident throughout my instruction. I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement and am constantly encouraging my students throughout my lessons. I believe that education should be a positive experience for all involved.Outside of school I have many different hobbies and interests. I have an energetic Brittany Spaniel, Poppy. Poppy keeps me entertained 24 hours a day. We enjoy going on long walks together (4-5 miles a day) and visiting different dog parks around the city. I am passionate about literature. I love reading anything and everything. I am currently the president of a book club. We have monthly meetings where we discuss our latest book club read and decide on the next month's venture. I love to cook and I also enjoy traveling. I was fortunate to take part in a life-changing journey to India in March. It was absolutely amazing. I love adventure and I have a passion for learning, exploring, and discovering new things as often as possible.
Hey, I'm Karah, a STEM enthusiast with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA. As a former Research Assistant in Operations Management and a Product Manager at a startup, I blend technical know-how with real-world savvy. Why do I tutor? SimpleI've seen the power of STEM, and I want to share it with you. Let's not just tackle subjects; let's ignite your curiosity and unveil the boundless opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students.
I have been teaching for the past nine years. I have taught in five countries, and while I can cover just about anything, my sweet spot is elementary math and reading. I believe that engagement is the key to information retention and I aim to make tutoring a fun and valuable experience for your learner!
I graduated from the University of West Alabama with a degree in English and a minor in journalism. I received my Master of Arts in English from the University of Alabama with an emphasis in rhetoric and composition. While I have a wide variety of academic interests, my first love has always been teaching writing. Specifically, I relish helping people generate, organize, develop, and present their ideas so that they can be proud of what they share with others. Some students are afraid to commit to their ideas in writing because they fear being judged or misunderstood. My priority as a teacher has always been to do everything I can to help each student become a more confident writer and communicator. Similarly, I strive to remind students that cultivating and maintaining solid critical thinking, writing, and communication skills will give them significant advantages in achieving their educational, personal, and professional goals. The classroom is where I learned to develop, utilize, and appreciate my inherent abilities to write and communicate effectively. Because I have limited mobility, I rarely got to go outside and play with other children my age. As a result, reading became my most significant outlet and means of entertainment. I have always been a voracious reader and an avid writer-- both in academic and personal pursuits. I became a teacher because my undergraduate advanced composition professor told me unequivocally that I should teach writing. This conversation was a turning point because someone else believed that I could help others learn to write. That day, this same professor (who served as my division chairperson) walked me down to the writing lab and introduced me as a new writing tutor to the center director. From the time that I tutored my first client in developmental writing, I knew that I needed to teach, and I've never really looked back. What being a tutor in college taught me is that one person can really make a definitive, positive difference to a student who is struggling academically. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time on the water with my family as often as possible. I love watching college basketball and football, and I'll take any chance that I get to try a new restaurant on date nights with my husband of 28 years.
Hi! My name is Morgan and I'm passionate about helping students learn and establish better habits to achieve their goals. I have a graduate degree from The University of Alabama and have over 10 years of experience tutoring and teaching children ages 5-14. I'm excited to create an empowering and comfortable atmosphere as well as build individual relationships.
I am an aerospace engineering student. I am very passionate about teaching math, physics, and chemistry. I realized tutoring was my calling while working as a tutor at my school. Seeing students gain a greater understanding of the subject was the highlight of my day while working there.
Hi, my name is Betsy. I am a graduate student pursuing a Master's in Psychology from the University of Louisiana-Monroe. I attended the University of Alabama and graduated cum laude with a B.A. in Marketing. I have a passion for education and helping others succeed.
I am a graduate of The University of Alabama, Roll Tide! I received my Master's in Business Administration and my Bachelor of Science specializing in history and biology. Post-graduation, I work as a research analyst providing cutting edge insight for Global 2000 technology executives. As a first-generation grad, I value education as a pathway to upward mobility. I am a voracious learner who is passionate about sharing my love of learning with others. Specifically, I enjoy tutoring students in mathematics, reading and writing. I believe every student is innately curious and able to succeed if given the rights tools and strategies. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling, watching sports, and spending time with family!
I am seeking to lead others to meet their goals and help them find ways to make learning fun, easy, or at least manageable in their life. Through years of experience on many matters, I have worked at being a better communicator, which makes any task become a completed task and a worthwhile experience. This will allow me to discover the real problem, listen to the student, research the possible solutions, and prevent or resolve a crisis, and enhance any learning and organization of the student's class tasks.
I am looking forward to helping you succeed in your academic endeavors. I received my undergrad from the University of Alabama and my Masters in Social Work from Walden University. I have over 20 years of experience in social services which range from working in group home shelters to children and families. I have been a Girl Scout troop leader for over 10 years and that opportunity has allowed me to hone my skills in working with young girls and teaching them how to be innovative thinkers and world-changers. My view on being a successful student starts by ensuring that the student understands or knows their learning style. Once that is established, we can work on techniques to help master the material. I believe anyone can be great with the right tools.
I am a student at the University of Alabama who is currently studying Mathematics and Computer Science. I have multiple years of experience teaching ski and snowsports, as well as experience tutoring all major core subjects
I am a lawyer in the Washington, D.C. area. I tutor in the test prep space - primarily for the SAT, ACT, and LSAT. I graduated from the University of Alabama in 2013, where I was a National Merit Scholar. I then spent one year in the Washington, D.C. area as a SAT/ACT instructor for a testing company, where I taught at four different area high schools and marketed company services to area high school students. I then attended the University of Virginia School of Law, where I was awarded a full tuition scholarship in part from my LSAT score. I also taught an SAT course for the same testing company during my time in law school. My teaching philosophy is simple: figure out what works for you and assisting you in achieving your best score. I'm pretty much always available to answer questions even outside of our tutoring time.
My career in helping students begins when I was in 9th grade at Walnut Hills High School. I was involved, on and off, with tutoring elementary children of a family friend and editing college essays for nursing students who were short on time. I was known for the precise nature of my editing and the sharp improvement whoever sought me for help saw in their grades. Though my tutoring career ended once I entered into university, this does not mean I was doing nothing; I was busy expanding my skills and own knowledge.Having majored in International Relations, I have studied a wide range of subjects, ranging from basic international politics to the history of mass-consumerism in Europe to Western European Art History to diversity and communication. During my time in university, I also worked as a research assistant to one Dr. Randall Salekin; my duties included editing essays that were either going to be sent to or were rejected from peer-reviewed scholarly journals dedicated to discussing clinical psychology in depth, and shadowing interviews with at-risk teenage boys at the Alabama Juvenile Detention Center.I have also lived in Germany for a semester, and have been exposed to a world and wealth of cultures I may not have been able to witness were I to otherwise have stayed in the United States. Being near-fluent in German has changed my mind and allowed me to think in more creative ways, which will translate into creative and innovative approaches in helping students learn. My exposure to many different people and backgrounds in and outside of academia has also allowed me to develop the worldview and open-mindedness needed to pass on what I have learned to other students in an act of giving back to the education system that has nurtured me and the success I have earned.
I am a teacher and tutor with 12 years of experience. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Literature, Master's in Education from Loyola Marymount University, and my Master's in Writing from George Mason University. I have traveled and taught extensively, teaching middle school in California, children and adults in China and Virginia looking to improve their English (as I am a certified ESL instructor); and college-level English and essay-writing. I have served over 1000+ students across my career.
I have been in public education for almost 20 years, and can't see myself ever doing anything other than working with students. I obtained my Bachelors through Alabama, Masters through West Alabama, and doctorate through Sam Houston State.I love working with people in areas where they struggle and seeing them succeed. Outside of education, I love sports and traveling with my family. I can tutor English, history, education, sociology, social sciences, religion, and many more.
I am a rising sophomore at the University of Alabama and I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I have been working with fellow students ever since kindergarten with questions they had on the subject matter the teacher was going over or on concepts from other classes I had previously taken. I personally enjoy tutoring many areas of mathematics. Math has always been my favorite subject as many of the concepts come easy to me upon initially learning them. My personal way of tutoring involves breaking down the problem into its individual concepts and making sure the student understands each of the concepts and then moving on to explain how the concepts tie together into the problem.Additionally, I am a competitive kart racer and an aspiring NASCAR or professional race car driver. I enjoy playing and watching basketball, watching car racing, and playing video games in my spare time (mainly NBA 2K).I also enjoy taking care of a wide variety of potted plants on my back patio.
Music brings joy and knowledge and it can open up windows of opportunity to share that joy with others.
I am excited to help each student realize their full potential and feel confident as an individual and a student. I know everyone learns differently and will do everything I can to help the students grow in their academic careers. I love to read so I especially love to help students learn to read or find their own love of reading and writing! Math can actually be fun and I am eager to help students see that math is not the monster it seems to be! I am a mom to a college student so I'm very familiar with the college essays and can also help with test prep (ACT/SAT).
I have a Bachelors in Psychology and a Masters in Library Science. I have 2 years experience as a tutor and have also taken coursework in education. I particularly enjoy tutoring math, writing, and science and working with students with learning difficulties like autism and ADHD, like myself!
I have a bachelor's degree in History, with minors in English and Ancient and Medieval Studies, and a master's in Communication and Rhetorical Studies. I specialize in teaching and tutoring public speaking, writing, and test prep, and look forward to helping students reach their full potential.
I'm currently a student at the University of Alabama, working towards an undergraduate degree in math/statistics. Im also a part of the honors college at the University, the honors society Phi Eta Sigma, am participating in the new STEM program that allows me to work towards a MBA while completing my undergraduate degree. While finishing up high school I volunteered as a tutor for the AVID program at my school and throughout the past three years have tutored several classmates in a wide range of subjects. While I tutor in several subject areas, my favorite is math. I believe that education is crucial in the world that we live in today, but I also believe that each student is different and learns in different ways. I love showing students how what they are learning now will help them in life and I love finding new ways to teach material, especially if the first way of learning something is not working. Outside of class, I love color guard, writing, and just spending time with my friends, which normally leads to failing at board games.
I am a recent graduate from the University of Alabama who will be starting at Yale Law School in the fall of 2019. I double majored in International Studies and French with a minor in African American Studies. During my time at UA, I participated in mentoring programs that allowed me to work with elementary school children, in addition, to being a coach for children aged 2-18 years old. I entirely self-studied for the LSAT and scored in the top 1 percentile, so I am well prepared for helping students achieve their law school goals.
I'm an experienced teacher and tutor with a Bachelors in English from the University of Alabama and a Masters in Literature and the Humanities from St. Edward's University, looking to help my students share in my love of learning!
In my journey as an English literature student, I am striving to become a college professor of English. As part of that goal, I want to help students from all backgrounds get a quality education and not feel judged. In my public school education, I struggled myself with vision issues, which caused my education to dwindle, but it took one amazing teacher to ensure I found my way again. I hope to be the same for students. I received my bachelor's of arts from the University of Central Florida in English with Creative Writing. This degree qualifies me to tutor and teach grammar, spelling, writing, creative writing, and anything English related. On top on my bachelor's, I obtained my master's degree at the University of Alabama for English Literature in 2023. Currently, I am a PhD candidate in Literature at the University of Texas-Dallas and a Rhetoric and Composition Instructor. Overall, I am a tutor looking to mentor students to their highest potential. All students need to be successful is someone to believe in them and I promise I always will believe in each and every student.
I'm currently a fourth year medical student at a private medical school in Texas. I've been involved with tutoring since middle school continuing all the way through medical school. There are so many different ways to teach based on how students learn best and I am passionate about meeting the individual needs of students so they can succeed. I took unconventional approaches to learning as instilled by mentors throughout my life that greatly increased my ability to learn and comprehend material . I've worked with tutoring students in ACT prep, SAT prep, MCAT prep, IB and AP courses, as well as STEM subjects from elementary school through to college. Recently, I've also tutored for USMLE Step 1 & 2. I also edit and work with students who need tutors for writing and reading comprehension. I have extensive experience in both college and medical school admissions and work yearly with students on essays and applications. I went to high school at the Downingtown STEM Academy and graduated May 2018 from the University of Alabama with a 4.2. I have a BS in Biology with minors in Social Work and Social Welfare. I will be graduating with an MD and MPH in May 2022. I tutor english, math, geometry, algebra, SAT, ACT, MCAT, USMLE chemistry, biology, organic chemistry, and writing along with other subjects. I've worked with rural students in Alabama, students in the Greater Philadelphia area, and students in urban areas. I believe education should be personalized and while schools can't provide this due to lack of resources, tutors are a great substitute for that. Education is the gateway to social mobility and happiness and I seek to prepare my student to meet their individual goals. I work to create an environment where the student can focus on understanding the material for their own understanding and not for others which significantly increases the students confidence in the subject matter and their desire to learn more.
With almost 30 years of experience in the college admissions and aid process, including a decade in the dean of admissions and aid role at a national liberal arts college, I enjoy helping students understand the admissions process and craft the best essays and applications possible. Having worked at both flagship public research universities and private national liberal arts college across the United States, I understand how the application materials are used and use a positive approach to help students present themselves to the college in the strongest way they can. I believe strongly that there is not such thing as a dumb question and the most important thing in the college selection process is fit between the student and the college.
My name is Colin Begley and I am a student at The University of Alabama studying Economics and Biology on the pre-med track. I offer tutoring services in a wide variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, physics, economics, business, and mathematics. I am very passionate about teaching and learning, and I hope that I can use the knowledge I have acquired throughout my years of education to make a difference in someone's life.
Education is a lifelong journey. I tell my students all the time "once you know better, you do better" and "you can't unlearn what you do know". I believe that the more we understand, the more capable we become in navigating life and learning with resilience and confidence. With over a decade of experience in healthcare and as a mom of five, I've had the opportunity to support both children and adult learners across a range of ages and backgrounds. Currently, I teach third grade (all subjects) and have hands-on experience working with preschool and early elementary students. I've found that identifying a student's learning style early on makes it easier to customize a tutoring approach that truly works. I earned my nursing degree from Florida State College at Jacksonville in 2010 and also a Google Data Analytics Certificate holder, as well as an Accredited Financial Counselor Candidate. I tutor a variety of subjects including elementary-level math, reading and comprehension, science, study skills, financial literacy, and nursing fundamentals such as documentation. While I enjoy all the subjects I teach, my favorite part of tutoring is witnessing that "aha" moment when everything clicks for a learner and they finally say, "I get it now!" Once you get it, you got it and that breakthrough is always rewarding. My tutoring style is patient, encouraging, and confidence-building. I believe by uncovering the best methods that work for each learner's learning style and adapting those in a safe space, I meet learners where they are and support them as they work toward where they want to be.
I am a junior at the University of Alabama from Chicago, IL. I am majoring in Human Exercise Science with concentrations in Fitness and Pre-Professional Studies with a minor in Spanish. I have aspirations of attending Physical Therapy school upon completion of my undergraduate degree in Spring of 2019.
I have been working in the real estate industry for over twenty years. I enjoy working with up and coming real estate agents. My goal is to help new agents and new potential agents start with the right knowledge so that they can get the most out of the real estate profession.
I am a graduate of the University of Alabama where I received my bachelors in History. For the last 4 years I served as a prosecutor. I have since taken on a different role. While I never had dreams of becoming a writer, or writing everyday in my profession, I am currently serving as a judicial law clerk for the appellate court in my state writing, everyday. I seriously laugh when I think about the times I used to say "I hate writing." While in law school I also studied abroad in Tokyo, Japan where I worked in a law firm doing legal work, and teaching English to the attorneys in the firm. It was there that I realized I enjoy tutoring and teaching. As a practicing attorney, I continue to provide assistance to students who are studying law, as well as high school and college students participating in mock trial. To seek out a tutor let's me know you want to excel at what you're doing, and I look forward to helping you reach your fullest potential!

I have a BS in mathematics and an MS in Applied Statistics both from The University of Alabama. I am currently applying to PhD programs in Applied Mathematics. I have voluntarily tutored friends, family, and classmates starting from the eighth grade to the present day. I love to tutor people because I love helping people and sharing a glimpse of all the possible ways mathematics can be applied. The subjects I would be an excellent choice for a tutor are Mathematical Statistics, Probability, and Statistical modeling up to the graduate level. Cal 1-3 (differential, integral, higher dimensional) and linear algebra are also subjects I can tutor.
I am a graduate of West Virginia University where I received my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Also, currently completing a master's degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Alabama. I have worked with tutoring other students in various engineering subjects, focusing mostly on mathematics subjects ranging from pre-calculus and algebra to differential equations. I also worked as a teaching assistant teaching Thermodynamics and Fluid Dynamics. I also strive to help students understand the material the best that they can. Offering tips and tricks to tackle various types of problems or to stay organized to make problems easier. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, metal work, cooking and hanging out with my pet rabbit.
I am currently a Junior at The University of Alabama pursuing degrees in both Mathematics & Economics. After I graduate, I intend to stay at Alabama to get an M.A. in Economics. I have been tutoring both Math and ACT Prep since I was a Sophomore in High School. After 4 years of experience, I continue to enjoy tutoring these subjects, and the constant challenge of improving my abilities and techniques. I get a great sense of satisfaction in helping those I tutor improve their grades, test scores, and overall understanding of the subjects I am teaching them. Not only do I focus on the subject matter being taught, but I also focus on helping students develop the study skills and habits that are imperative to success later in their academic careers. Through my four years of tutoring, I have developed the ability to mold my tutoring style around however the student learns best whether that be visually, through examples, etc. This allows me to provide an individualized tutoring session to each person I tutor. I believe no two students should be tutored the same was; every student has different learning methods and I view it as my responsibility to modify my tutoring style to fit each individual student.
I am a freshman at the University of Alabama. It is my goal to give students the skills necessary to succeed on their own!
