Award-Winning Tutors from University of Central Florida

I am a UCF graduate Summa Cum Laude with a 4.0 GPA! I graduated with a degree in Health Sciences Pre-Clinical. I am currently in the middle of applying to medical school. I am here to help and have previous tutor experience! I was a Supplemental Instruction leader at UCF, where I instructed students on General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. Although I primarily have tutored at the collegiate level, I feel comfortable teaching at both undergraduate and primary school levels. I feel more comfortable in STEM courses but can tutor English and ACT Reading as well.My tutoring style varies depending on the individual. Before I start tutoring someone, I have a short discussion with them about who they are and what they want. This allows me to adapt my teaching style to effectively meet and exceed the needs of each student. I look forward to working with you!

I have been teaching Finite Mathematics and College Algebra to Freshmen and Sophomores when I was a graduate teaching assistant at the University of Central Florida. I also taught Statistics and Probability at Valencia Community College for a two semesters. I have always had a passion to transmitting knowledge. It is a fulfilling experience and make me plain and purposeful as I help young students become productive citizens of society.It is always gratifying to see a struggling student do well thanks to the teaching efforts an instructor provides. I love to break difficult problems into small, manageable, and easily understandable concepts that a student can follow to become successful at tackling quantitative exercises. I have always wanted to contribute to the well-being of young individuals and what a better way to do it than to spread knowledge to those people.

I am an 11 year Elementary School teacher with a Masters in both Reading K-12 and Teaching ESOL students. I have background in teaching a wide variety of learners and love to see students "soar" academically. I like to make learning meaningful as well as make connections in the lessons I teach so that they are most memorable for students. I truly enjoy hearing success stories from students that may have once struggled in some areas academically, but are now more aware of strategies that we may have uncovered together that makes them more successful.

I have always been great with math and graduated in the top 5% of my high school, I went to the University of Central Florida for a degree in Statistics. I always have had a love for helping people learn, and would love to give you the resources toaccomplish you goals!

I love meeting people. Every new person we meet is an opportunity to learn something new about the world and share ideas. I also love gaining and sharing knowledge. One of my favorite things to hear from someone during a conversation is, "I never thought about it that way before."I come from a family of teachers and travelers. My father is a professor at Tennessee State University, my mother teaches elementary school children in Florida, and my sister teaches business in France. Teaching and embracing diversity is in my blood.Mentoring and tutoring have always been a part of my life. It's a special feeling to help someone become the person they want to be. As a self-taught creative professional, there are so many things I wish someone had taught me early in my career. I aim to be that helping hand for individuals who may otherwise not have the opportunity.Ultimately, we are all in this experience of life together.

I'm deeply passionate about guiding students to academic success. Recognizing that each learner is unique, I tailor my approach to suit individual needs, ensuring not just rote memorization, but genuine understanding. With patience and adaptability, I strive to unlock each student's potential, making complex concepts accessible and engaging. My goal is to empower and inspire, turning challenges into opportunities for growth.

Throughout my academic career, I've always had a passion for helping others, whether it be in the health or education fields. Throughout my high school and undergraduate years, I have had the opportunity to tutor over one hundred individuals from subjects ranging from basic reading to advanced college Biology and Health courses, finding with each student a unique balance of patience and guidance that has allowed for them to succeed where they believed they would otherwise fail. I can honestly say that helping individuals understand ideas they once viewed as foreign, complex, or "above" them is one of the most rewarding tasks I have ever encountered. In my own academic journey, I have explored a wide variety of subjects including Molecular Biology, Anthropology, Computer Science and Psychology, and have plans to continue my education with a Masters In Public Health with a focus on Disaster and Humanitarian Relief. I look forward to using my experiences and education to help students achieve their highest potential, allowing them to impact their communities and beyond in a positive way.

What are you struggling with?That's the first question I ask new students in our first session together. Understanding the unique problems and bad habits facing a student is the first step in creating a customized learning plan to help get over those hurdles.Growing up with severe ADHD, I learned firsthand how vital it is to create a learning process which treats the student as an individual, tailored to their strengths, habits, and weaknesses. Over many frustrating years, I learned how to create a personal curriculum for myself, which in turn has taught me how to do the same for my students.I focus on conceptual understanding and pattern recognition in all of my sessions, rather than "tricks" or rote memorization. These skills require practice, but they are absolutely critical to building a strong foundation for future learning. That's why I go to the effort to include background information and explain the lower levels of abstraction that so often make the difference between memorizing *facts* and learning *skills.*This focused approach enabled me to place in the 99th percentile nationwide on the PSAT and SAT, win the title of National Merit Scholar, and earn a full-ride merit scholarship to one of the largest schools in the country, all despite my learning difficulties. There I am currently a senior in the Honors program, on track to graduate summa cum laude, and approaching completion of an undergraduate thesis on my work in the university's nanotechnology lab.These opportunities have unambiguously changed my life, and I'm always happy to help more young minds reach their goals. Examples of my teaching experience include two semesters of tutoring at the high-school level and three semesters as a paid teaching assistant for my university. I teach a wide variety of subjects, including math, essay writing, critical thinking, biochemistry, and object-oriented programming.Outside of the classroom and lab, I love to play volleyball, swim, run, and meet new people! After graduation, I hope to win a US Fulbright grant to teach in rural Indonesia before pursuing a PhD in biochemistry. Learning was my first love, but teaching is my passion, and I would love to eventually become a professor and conduct research on the biochemistry of longevity. I hope the Varsity platform will allow me to have the opportunity to help more students reach their own goals in school, college, and beyond!

I strive to create a learning environment where curiosity is celebrated, mistakes are seen as opportunities to grow, and each student's unique strengths are recognized. I approach each learning session with patience, adaptability, and a genuine love for teaching. There's nothing more rewarding to me than watching a student light up when something finally clicks. I'm here to support that journey, one step, one question, and one breakthrough at a time.

I always strive to be my best every day.I have four college degrees that vary pretty significantly. I have a culinary degree from Johnson and Wales University, a general AA from Valencia Community College, a Bachelors degree in Anthropology with a minor in African American studies, and a Masters Degree from the University of South Florida. I have worked as a freelance book editor for about ten years as well as a freelance archivist at local universities. I am published on the Legislative Archives website as well as creating metadata for the Library of Congress. But my favorite job that I do besides tutoring of course, is as a dog walker. I have found that sitting all day is not for me so I walk peoples dogs.I have worked as a tutor for 3 years, everything from elementary reading, math, social studies and science up to and including Algebra. I home school one of my children but send the other to regular school where he thrives more with a traditional setting.My family and I live on a small farm in central Florida where we raise rabbits for show. We also have chickens, horses and a pot bellied pig.I love to teach elementary and middle school writing and reading. I love the look on a child's face when they understand what they have just accomplished. I truly enjoy most sciences including social science, and anything history related is right up my alley.

My eclectic background has equipped me to facilitate student success and excellence as an Educator. I sincerely care about the development of the whole student, realizing that students arrive at institutions of higher learning from an array of cultures with different levels of preparation. I am devoted to providing the opportunity for students to succeed and to accomplish their educational and career goals. I assess learning styles and ultimately utilize various innovative tools to ensure the students' success.As an educator, my commitment in taking an active approach and obligation to helping students follow the path that will lead them to their goals begins with mentoring. My goal is to educate students and assist them in developing their own learning interests and create an environment that facilitates critical thinking that establishes a learner-centered environment with transferrable marketable skills and abilities that will prepare them to compete in the workforce. This means instructing a diverse population of learners at different academic levels. In particular, my work history and experience teaching professional development has made me aware of the needs and interests of a culturally diverse student body. As a result, I realize that student success depends on student retention which means actively promoting the learning goals by deploying a variety of methods, tools, and resources to identify, reach, and educate students. I provide ongoing consultation with community and state partners to establish and implement strategies to improve educational outcomes by deploying evidence-based practices.

I have had the opportunity to work as an educator in high-school, undergraduate, and graduate education settings. I have taught classes ranging from sociology to statistical analysis. I myself was not particularly gifted in these subjects and, as a result, I feel as though I can convey complex ideas in simple terms to students in a broad range of competency levels.
