Award-Winning Tutors from University of Phoenix-Online Campus

I've been in Nursing now for 26 years, and have always enjoyed mentoring and teaching. I have been teaching in a BSN program now for 4 years, and have helped many students get over the jidders of taking the boards.

Growing up, books were a way to escape and live in another world or time. That love of reading, has carried on into my adult life.I became a teacher after I was encouraged by my daughter's second grade teacher. The decision to choose Special Education was fostered from watching my sister and other children struggle with reading, writing, math, and other studies. I've been fortunate enough to watch my students learn, grow, become confident, self-advocate, and achieve in furthering their education or skills after high school. It is without a doubt the best feeling in the world to see a student years down the road, being a successful adult with families of their own.I believe that children who are given the right tools, can easily achieve anything. Learning isn't just about getting the right answer - it's about finding the path to the answer.

I am a graduate of the University of Central Missouri, where I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration Accounting emphasis. After working in the accounting field, I went on to pursue a career in education. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Elementary Teacher Education and a Specialist degree in Educational Leadership from the University of Phoenix, and a Master of Science degree in Educational Leadership from Western Governors University. Upon receiving my teaching credentials, I became an elementary teacher and literacy coach and then was promoted to become an elementary principal. I also obtained certification as a K-12 special education teacher and worked as a special education director and teacher.Throughout my career, I have tutored all subject areas in grades K-6 as well as reading, writing, and math in grades 7-8. As an avid reader and writer, I am most passionate about tutoring reading and writing. I love watching students grow as readers building a lifelong passion for reading, and the natural progression in their writing. I also enjoy teaching math and helping students build number sense and confidence in their mathematical abilities.As a passionate educator, I strive to share that passion for learning with students and fellow adult learners. Helping students understand how the learning applies to real life and discovering connections between topics is inspiring and motivates the heart and mind to learn even more. Building learning relationships with students is always gratifying. I enjoy learning as much from my students as they hopefully do from me!

I believe that each student can be a blend of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. Just as no human being has an identical fingerprint, a student may have diverse learning needs. My lessons and online learning activities will help students to master core objectives in grammar, math, social science, and other subjects. I enjoy teaching! I want my students to grow as independent learners. The human mind is capable of continuous growth!

Patient dedicated instructor who will focus on the success of the student. My goal is to help you be successful.

Education is an art, not a science. Art must start with high expectations and adaptability for students to learn. Standards, expectations, and positive classroom management play integral parts in this educational journey and can impact students greatly. High standards need to come from the teacher and the students, each pushing each other beyond expectations. Both have a responsibility to push each other to achieve, which leading to success.Preparation from both can take many forms:Creating an engaging curriculum that offers a variety of opportunities for practice and success which could include direct learning, cooperative groups, project-based learning, team teaching, cross-curricular units, portfolio, and self-reflection. Both will increase their knowledge base and will help with not become stagnant. Both should be seeking aid and thoughts from mentors, professors, and people in the community. Committee hours for assistance each other, parent communication, and extracurricular activities involving the whole class or part of it as needed.Researching, then choosing a classroom model that fits teaching style and age appropriateness.Student and professor need to read and search topics for discussions before getting into a class. Each should try to find details that will surprise, surpass, context to prior knowledge to make a subject more interesting to the class. Each topic is discussed should be connected to other topics, both within the class, other classes, and the real world. Challenge each other, leads to all involved reach new heights in their learning. Team learning includes admitting and taking responsibility for mistakes, which creates a safe atmosphere to take risks. We all are capable of going beyond each paradigm to find success. It a dysfunction to our students, when the class exceptions are less because of busy schedules, family life, special needs, hard circumstances, or anything for the outside of academia. Teaching to the individual with everyone challenging that specific student helps to pushes expectations and gains self-esteem as well as academic progress for all.A positive classroom makes it safe and free from barriers to learning. Professors need to model taking risks, so students can see professors working on projects as well. Classroom examples and everyone doing projects from students to professor alike. Everyone should be comfortable taking risks within this safe environment.Education is inevitably a well-thought mental process. This journey is so important to learning and planning is essential. Creating progressive curriculum, and a safe, positive classroom allow the dream of learning to take places all around. "Success is a journey, not a destination." (Sweetland, 2001).

I'm a 25 year experienced executive with Fortune 100 companies like FedEX, Dell and JP Morgan Chase. I have had an opportunity to lead very large organizations, travel the globe and work with great people. My greatest love was being able to influence and teach others along the way. Working as a tutor at Varsity is just an extension of my own personal philosophy.

I graduated from Nova Southeastern University with a Doctorate in Education in Distance Learning and Instructional Technology. I also have a Masters Degree in Special Education, specifically in Administration of Early Intervention Programs, from the University of Phoenix. At Bachelors level, I studied Visual Arts and Teaching English as a Second Language. CuTeacherrrently, I'm a certified Bilingual and Spanish from the state of Texas. I have taught at all levels: from PK to university level. In addition, I have trained and work as a coach for other teachers. I've also taught adults that want to become better English/Spanish speakers in an university setting. I've worked in other educational areas like being a Consultant for the Puerto Rico Department of Education, where I had to write official letters in name of the Secretary of Education and as an Educational Project Manager, where I designed and administered innovative education projects. Educate has being my life and passion.Every person has a unique learning style. Through the years I've been working as a teacher I've learned that school systems aren't designed to fit everyone. Don't worry if your kid seems not to fit. That's why, through tutoring sessions, a unique study program can be specifically designed to help fill in the gaps they might have by teaching in an understandable way.

I am a certified English teacher and I specialize in one-on-one or small group tutoring for K-12 or college students who need extra support with their reading or writing. I have a profound love for literature and I work to consistently broaden my knowledge in order to provide up to date lessons. Born with the written word tattooed on my heart, I am deeply dedicated to my students and clients. I tune in to the frequencies of the individual and apply my knowledge to guarantee unparalleled results.

While the original intention for obtaining my teaching degree was to better help my child through his educational struggles, I soon realized that my son was not the only one who needed help. That is when I made the decision to expand my horizons so that I could assist all children through the learning process. When it comes to tutoring students, I believe my unlimited amount of patience and my nurturing personality are some of my assets. I am also highly organized and pay a great attention to detail. When it comes to a computer I am well-versed and have the ability to find a variety of information online that will assist me in my tutoring. This will help me in providing creative instructional practices. I believe everyone learns in different ways so what works for one child may not work for another. If a topic is fun and interesting it will be remembered for the experience. Working hands on, keeping a child actively involved will keep he or she interested. The biggest complaint I hear is that school is boring. Using interactive activities centered on the child will keep them interested. Experiencing something for yourself, rather than reading about it, is a more memorable experience. And it is the experience, no matter how big or small, that the child will remember. My passion is to help children learn and succeed and I think that it shows in the way I interact with children and how they respond to me.

I have dedicated over 20 years to education. My experience spans from Kindergarten to College Algebra.Mathematics is a focus for me in the middle school and college level.I am more than prepared to support in all subject areas as needed.Life provides many opportunities all we have to do is take them.

I have wanted to be a teacher since the day I could speak, so when I got to college I knew that I was going to major in education. I received my Bachelors in Speech and Hearing Science. I have a Master of Art in Education with a concentration in special education. I worked for three years as a speech language pathology assistant before becoming a special education teacher. I have worked with kids from preschool to sixth grade.

I believe that every student can learn and be academically successful! With the right resources and intentional time, I know that all students can discover their true potential and experience social, emotional, and academic growth and confidence to thrive as a successful human being in society no matter what career(s) or occupation(s) they wish to obtain. Let's have fun doing this as a team!

I am a dedicated and friendly educator, with a Bachelors in Journalism and Masters in Education. I have more than 15 years in education with a focus in math, from a tutor to a teacher to a teacher specialist. While I am generalist certified to tutor all subjects, I am very passionate about math especially, middle school math. I also love journalism and entrepreneurship. I am experienced in standardized testing prep, testing strategies, student engagement, and project-based learning. I look forward to creating successful scholars and making them love math. I believe, "That the best teachers teach from the heart, not from a book.!"

I love working one on one with students and their families. Customizing the learning experience is my number one goal! While tutoring Algebra students in middle school, my students saw an average of two letter grades improvement. I look forward to helping you reach your educational goals.

My students call me Dr. B. I have been teaching for 40 years. My job is to find a way for you to understand and apply what you are studying. What good is something if you can't use it? Because I have done this for a long time, I have many ways of explaining something to you and will use as many methods as necessary for you to understand a concept. I do not succeed unless you do.

Graduate from Texas State University, current 5th Grade Math Teacher at Harmony Public Schools, teaches Elementary Math grades K-5th. Personalized Method to meet your individual needs!

I have over 10 years of helping middle school, high school, and undergrad students find success in academics. I use a variety of techniques to make concepts understandable and applicable.

I love learning and teaching. I am a firm believer in never giving up and we can all succeed with a little help from YOUR village. I am a retired Army Veteran who served over 23 years. I spent the last 4 years of my military career in the adult learning arena teaching organizational leadership. I volunteered with Junior Achievement to teach elementary school kids about finance. I love learning and teaching others to help them succeed.

I am a registered nurse with experience in behavioral health, emergency care, and post-anesthesia care, and I am currently earning my Master of Science in Nursing with a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner focus. Throughout my nursing career, I have learned how important patience, encouragement, and clear communication are when someone is trying to learn something new. Those same values are what I bring to tutoring. I truly enjoy helping students feel more confident. I know how frustrating it can be when a subject feels confusing or overwhelming, especially when you are trying your best. My goal is to create a supportive space where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and learning at their own pace. I like to break down difficult concepts into simple steps and use real-life examples whenever possible so the material feels more practical and easier to understand. What I love most about teaching is seeing the moment when something finally clicks for a student. It is rewarding to help someone move from feeling unsure to feeling capable and confident. I believe tutoring is not only about improving grades, but also about building confidence, study skills, and a stronger belief in what a student can do. I am excited about the opportunity to work with Varsity Tutors because it allows me to combine my healthcare background, my passion for helping others, and my love of learning in a meaningful way. I would be honored to support students as they work toward their goals.

I am a certified teacher and currently am teaching kindergarten. I have also taught 2nd and 5th grade. I obtained a Gifted certification after my first year of teaching. I have experience teaching students with ADHD, ADD, and Autism. My favorite things to teach are K-2 math and ELA (literacy) and 3-5 ELA and social studies. The passion I have for teaching comes from my love of history! I want to be a part of it, after I'm long gone, what better way to be a part than shaping the minds of our future leaders? I am a huge fan of learning through play and run a student-centered style environment and I believe with differentiation and rigor we can meet students where they are academically, socially, and emotionally, and take them where they need to be. Thus closing the learning gap.

I am a graduate of The University of Nevada Nursing program and University of Phoenix-Online. I received my Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a specialty emphasis on Healthcare Management MHCM) and am currently in the final year of a Doctorate in Educational Leadership with a specialty emphasis on Educational Technology. Since 2004 as a small business owner, I offer healthcare consulting, write curriculum, create/facilitate continuing education seminars and Live N-CLEX Review. I had lived, taught, and tutored in numerous states inclusive of northern and southern California but currently reside in the greater Las Vegas area. In my experiences, I have found it an awesome privilege and personal passion to help challenged or struggling students prepare for Final Exams, Standardized Tests like the ATI Teas, the HESI Admission, the HESI A2, and the N-CLEX state examination (RN, LVN, LPN). I choose to make tutorials uplifting, supportive of student learning style/needs, and as "fun" as possible constantly aware that many topics in nursing or the sciences can seem rather dull or "dry" at times. I believe that every student is unique and capable of being coached to discover his/her inner academic strengths to ensure remarkable progress or advancements in Standardized Testing, Nursing, Leadership, English/Writing/APA papers, or Business courses. I review Test-Taking Strategies and Critical Thinking skills in each session. S U C C E S S is our mutual goal and the only option! My spare time is spent enjoying reading different genres, finding excitement and awe in all science fiction, and feeling warm and fuzzy over a good romance novel with a happy ending. My life is further enriched by church, family, one beautiful granddaughter, classical and jazz music, travel to the beach, and water sports!

I am an experienced, highly qualified Master teacher. I am a life long learner and an advocate for education. I will not disappoint you as a matter of fact, I guarantee I will teach and you will learn. I am passionate about educating and empowering my students. I use creative, effective and fun ways to reach and teach my students. My personality and temperament create a great repoire with my students. I am also a certified counselor with knowledge and understanding and most of all "I care". It would be an honor and priviledge to be your tutor.

It is my belief that all students can learn. I believe in getting to know my students, this helps me as the educator offer personalized learning for each of my students strengths, needs, skills, and interests. My students will receive a learning plan that is based on what they know and how they learn best.

I love teaching and love finding ways to help students grow while also enjoying school. My class goal is to find ways to reach every student. I have taught Pre-k, Fifth grade, and seventh grade. I am certified in all subjects. I went to UT Chattanooga for my bachelors and earned my masters online while teaching. I have also added a reading endorsement and gifted endorsement. Both were added by choice in hopes that I could better reach some of my more challenging students. I have normally tutored in after school programs and am excited to begin working with families online.

Education is the greatest asset a person can have. It's important, but it should also be fun to learn. Many people think education in general is boring when they have to learn about something. I try to keep it light in nature, using humor to help the student be comfortable, but also assist them in gaining confidence while they learn.Using personal experience tends to be helpful also when tutoring. If the student can somehow relate, it is easier for them to retain the information.When I'm not trying to help someone learn, I enjoy spending time with my son reading, photography, wine tastings and crafting. Happy Learning

With the right teacher, mastering a subject can be much easier than trying to do it by yourself. Teachers and students need to work together to accomplish this.

I'm committed to serving students in order to support them in their success by helping them explore and learn in ways that are more engaging.

I am passionate about helping students connect to math, making math meaningful and relevant, and helping students build confidence in their math abilities. I obtained my undergraduate teaching degree from Towson State and my masters degree from the University of Phoenix. I have been teaching math and science for 17 years and love working with students. I care deeply about my students and enjoy supporting them through their learning journey. If you are a struggling math student or need additional support to study for an exam or test, I can work with you to develop confidence and be successful!

I am a special education teacher, I have been working with students with disabilities for 8 years. I teach math, ELA, and tutor in all subjects I believe all students can learn. I believe that everyone is important, that meeting students where they are is the best way to encourage them to move forward to where they want to be.

I've been an entrepreneur, business consultant, and faculty member for over 16 years. My credentials include being a CPA with a Juris Doctor, Master of Accountancy, and Bachelor of Science in Business. My greatest strengths are being a good listener, creating strategy, and following through. I'm empathetic, but I don't back down from excuses because I know that within every "can't" is a "can". I admire truth and transparency.

My name is Kelley and I have dedicated my life to teaching special needs students for the past 20 years. It is my belief that all children can learn with the proper structure, motivation and learning techniques. Customizing lessons to meet the needs of my students is what I am all about. If given the opportunity to work with a student, I know that I can bring out the best in them through interesting lessons and learning styles methods.

Aviation has been my life since I was a kid; it was model airplanes hanging from the ceiling and launching model rockets in the park until I was old enough to join the U.S. Air Force. There, I learned how to fix airplanes and keep them flying I worked primarily on the modified Boeing 707 AWACS. After 12 years and enough experience to earn my A&P license, I moved over to the civilian world with Alaska Airlines. Many years and many roles later, life took me to Ohio, and I finally had the opportunity to learn to fly. It was a lifelong dream come true!I earned my Private Pilot lessons at Clermont County Airport, home of Sporty's Pilot Shop, just outside of Cincinnati. (If you are ever near there on a Saturday, they have free hot dogs and (mostly true) pilot stories starting at noon.) Whilst training I also worked at a corporate jet management company in Cincinnati. Knowing that flying was the profession I wanted to pursue, I moved to Louisville and completed the rest of my certifications with ATP Flight School. After receiving my last certification, I moved to Arizona, where my wife and I currently reside.Instructing is a privilege to me, so I take it seriously and believe it is the instructor's duty to provide information in the best way, for the most impact, for each student. I view the role of instructor as a guide to aviation, introducing students to the wonders of flight, but safely and within standards. Tutoring allows me to emphasize the ground knowledge and best prepare students for the oral portions of their checkrides.

I am a reliable and dedicated nurse leader and nurse educator. My extensive experience in nursing for 27 years have allowed me to build upon skills and passion for mentoring and teaching nurses especially those that are new to the profession. I am got my BSN degree in the Philippines and have obtained my double Master degree in Nursing and Health Administration from University of Phoenix. I served as a clinical nurse educator for ten years. My proximity to the clinical area throughout the years in my nursing career allowed me to see the need to prepare the next generation in the profession. I am passionate about teaching and I find it rewarding to see others succeed.

I received my BA in Special Education and Elementary Education from Northern Arizona University. My Master's is in Education - Administration and Supervision. I have worked with special education students all of my teaching career. I have also been in Special Education Administration as well as a High School principal.
