I am a kind, genuine, positive educator who believes all people are capable of learning! I will ensure my learners feel empowered. I have experience as a traditional educator, however, my passion is project-based learning. Because of that, I have taught all ages various topics!

Helping students grow and achieve academic success is a passion of mine . I look forward to meeting and working with new students! I have been an elementary school teacher for nearly thirty years with a proven track record. When I'm not teaching or tutoring you can find me on the ballroom floor dancing up a storm.

I have a graduate degree from the University of Wisconsin???Milwaukee in English and am currently working as a composition instructor at Milwaukee Area Technical College and at Bryant and Stratton College. I have also lived and worked as a second language teacher in Japan, Thailand and Saudi Arabia. Aside from teaching, I also am a writer and a translator (Japanese to English).I have worked as a tutor at the Writing Center at UW-M and have also studied tutoring pedagogy. My method of tutoring is to first discuss the assignment with the student, read the assignment prompt and then read the student's essay. I work top-down; that is, I look for higher level problems, and a fully developed thesis statement and/or clear supporting evidence, before looking at mechanical issues such as grammar and spelling. This method is student-centered, and I work to get the student writers to understand how to become better writers for themselves.

I bring a diverse educational background to my tutoring practice, holding a BFA in Dance, an MFA in Dance, and an MBA in Business. My journey includes teaching Dance in secondary and elementary education, as well as working briefly as a special education and classroom instructor for children with emotional, behavioral, and cognitive disorders. Transitioning from a corporate career, I pursued training in massage therapy with a focus on East Asian bodywork and clinical massage. Today, I am a licensed massage and bodywork therapist in Wisconsin and Illinois, where I also teach at the post-secondary level, covering Western sciences, massage and shiatsu techniques, and Chinese medicine. In my teaching philosophy, I prioritize tailoring information to match students' learning styles, fostering self-reflection and critical thinking to enhance comprehension and retention. Beyond education, I find joy in crafting, cooking, and gardening, activities that enrich my life and inspire creativity.

I love to teach and believe every student is capable of learning. I think learning should be fun and that everyone learns in their own way.

I have been tutoring since 2008. I've helped 1000+ students to improve their understanding in general chemistry, biology (especially in genetics, anatomy, and microbiology), most physics courses, organic chemistry, math (algebra, geometry, and pre-calc), ACT, GRE, DAT, MCAT, and other test prep. I have a level 1 & 2 tutor certification from the College Learning and Reading Association. I offer one-on-one, small group, and online tutoring.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Secondary Mathematics Education from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I received a Master of Education in Instructional Technology from Cardinal Stritch University. I have taught at St. Thomas More High School in Milwaukee for 16 years. I enjoy working with students of all ages and abilities. I particularly enjoy tutoring because learning goals are more easily realized in a low student to teacher ratio. When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my family. I also enjoy running, biking, obstacle racing, and adventure racing.

Currently, I am an English as a Second Language teacher. I have taught adults and students in K12. I am very passionate about quality education for all students.During my free time, I like to watch Netflix or TED Talks. I also like to volunteer with local organizations and thrift shop.

I am a retired elementary school teacher. I taught for the past 15 years in grades 3-6. I currently hold a Wisconsin State Teaching Licence for grades 1-6, and have completed a Master's Degree in Education in 2010. I enjoy working one-on-one with children and helping them reach their goals.

In all of my capacities as an educator and tutorwhich range from lecturing at the University of Michigan to instructing summer courses on college-application essays to tutoring elementary students as a Peace Corps volunteer in ThailandI continue to see the power of critical thinking when fueled by curiosity. I believe that this coupling of curiosityor "inquiry," as some of us call itand textual analysis can change the world. Being able to think critically about who we are, what we believe, and why we believe it given our personal contexts allows us to enter into new, exciting spaces where we can really, tangibly, impact our culture. Guiding this process is my passion.I will be starting my PhD (Media Studies) this Fall at Northwestern University and look to continue tutoring throughout my studies. Although that will place me in Chicago, I'm a Michigander at heart, having lived most of my life in mid-Michigan. I received my B.A. (Journalism) at Michigan State University; I taught college composition at the University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University; and nothing makes me happier than strapping up my kayaks and exploring the state's rivers and lakes. I am confident in my ability to help students with any situation where they are trying to convey a purpose to an audiencebe it in the form of ACT/GRE prompts, college-application essays, textual analyses, newspaper articles, or just basic essay editing.I also have two years of experience teaching ESL from my time in Thailand. :)

I have taught mathematics for 18 years. I currently am Principal of a 7 - 12 building. I love doing that job but miss helping students find something to love about math. I am committed to tailoring my approach to each student's unique needs and learning style, fostering a nurturing environment where mistakes are welcomed as part of the learning process. With patience, adaptability, and a passion for education, I strive to make learning engaging and relevant by incorporating innovative strategies and resources. My ultimate goal is not only to help students achieve academic success but also to instill a love of learning and foster critical thinking skills.

I am currently a student at UW-Milwaukee, finishing up my undergraduate degree.In May I will be graduating with a B.S. in Cell and Molecular Biology along with a minor in Chemistry. After that, I'll be busy focusing on preparing my application to medical school!This is my second semester working as a tutor with Panther Academic Support Services on UWM's campus, and I really do love my job; I love being able to share my enthusiasm for the sciences with other people.

Hello, after 30+ years in business, 28+ years building and selling machines that produce paper drink cups (yes, think of me every time you visit Starbucks) I am transitioning to help anyone looking to improve in class, with tests, earn their GED, or learn English as an adult. I look forward to working with you soon, Mike

I am a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I received my Bachelor of Science in Applied Computing with a focus on Business Communication. While I was a student a tutored and taught PreK to 12 students for 3 years and adults for 2 years. I enjoy tutoring a broad range of subjects, but I am most passionate about technology-related subjects like programming. Technology is everywhere in our daily lives so having a foundation in programming, for example, sets up your plans for success regardless of your chosen career path. I have a hybrid teaching style in which I am both a demonstrator and a facilitator. I devote time during a lesson to try to understand what works for the group or individual and modify my strategy accordingly.

Physics and Chemistry were my favorite area of science from grade school. Besides, solving math problems was like a fun job to me. I grew up fixing minor issues in a lot of electrical and electronics devices. All of these led me to pursue my higher education with major in Physics. One thing I love about being a physicist is that, so often, I get to experience, discuss, and solve the daily life incidents. Physics is in nature.I love teaching. I am currently doing my PhD at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. I have been working as a Teaching Assistant in my university for six years. This has given me a lot of experience on teaching the students coming from different educational background. Most of the students I have been teaching have been pre-meds, biology/biochemistry major, geology and pre-dentists. The best thing I have learned from teaching these students is that I always make sure the students have a good understanding of basics before I take the teaching process any further. This has been my key to success as a teacher.

As a dedicated educator with a Master's in Educational Leadership from Cardinal Stritch University and over 10 years of tutoring and classroom experience, I specialize in helping students strengthen their reading, writing, grammar, and overall English language skills. I work with learners from elementary school through adulthood and focus on building confidence, improving comprehension, and developing strong communication skills. My teaching style is warm, supportive, and highly personalized. I use strategies that meet each student where they are, whether they need help with phonics, reading fluency, essay writing, grammar, or general homework support. I enjoy breaking down complex concepts in a way that makes learning clear, engaging, and meaningful. I am passionate about watching students grow both academically and personally. My goal is always to create a positive learning environment where students feel understood, valued, and motivated to succeed.

Academia has always been an important aspect of my life. I have always taken my studies pretty seriously, but I took a greater interest in them during high school. I attended a private school where I was given the opportunity to discover a large range of topics I had never thought about pursuing, such as engineering and biomedical sciences. In college, I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Linguistics, while minoring in Arabic and gaining a certificate in Middle Eastern and North African studies. During this period, I started tutoring at my school's academic success center. I truly enjoy helping students understand the content necessary to succeed in their academic endeavors, but I also offer my students study and organization tips that will carry over to various aspects of their lives. Currently, I am pursuing my Master's degree in Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Chicago, which I commute to from Milwaukee.

I have a Masters in Education for Sustainability from Cape Breton University, and a Bachelors in Education from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, with a focus in Math, ESL and English. I have been teaching internationally for 13 years, in different cultural and societal contexts. This has given me the opportunity to work in more diverse settings with students who have a wide range of needs and interests. In addition, all the schools I had the privilege of teaching in where International Baccalaureate (IB) schools, meaning our focus has always been on inquiry based learning, putting the student at the center, and supporting students in becoming proactive, well rounded global citizens. I am dedicated to fostering the holistic development of students as individuals, encouraging them to explore and cultivate their unique skills and talents within real-world contexts, thereby fostering a sense of purpose, belonging, and, ultimately, fulfillment. Although I enjoy teaching a wide range of subjects, I specialize in English, ESL and math with students between ages 6-15 years old.

One of my main passions in life is continued learning. My strength lies in mechanical engineering in which I have completed a bachelor's degree at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. Having taken part in a study abroad program, I've studied in central Taiwan alongside students from all over the world. My primary goal with my students is to ensure they succeed. My areas of strength are trig, algebra, calculus and physics. The few years I spent as a director for the HYPE UWM hip hop dance team gave me the opportunity to coach a lot of different people, and not just teaching math. As a weekend warrior mechanic, I have been fixing cars for the past 10 years which has significantly strengthened my problem solving abilities. Public speaking has been a strength since early on and I'm always looking forward to the next opportunity to pass on as much knowledge as possible. Currently, I work as a product service engineer for industrial and marine transmissions. Throughout my schooling I have worked in manufacturing, quality control and design engineering fields.I am a strong advocator of making sure my students are able to demonstrate to others the very problems they were having trouble with originally. Certain subjects can be very difficult so you can be guaranteed I have as much patience and different approaches as it takes to help my student understand not only the problem but the concept.

Greetings! I'm Ashley. I'm a full-time Bilingual Family Advocate at one of the leading social service organizations in Milwaukee. My ultimate goal is to be of support to anyone who is struggling academically, so that they can become a success when they go out into the world :)

I spent twenty seven years as a teacher covering all grades Kindergarten through eight either as a classroom teacher or a reading teacher. My bachelor's degree is from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.I have a master's degree with a reading focus from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I have a master's degree in education administration from Marian University.My main areas of interest in this tutoring position are in reading and general mathematics for elementary and middle grade students.My approach is to begin by assessing needs of the student. Sometimes this is done informally and other times it is more of a formal, written process. Once we understand needs, then we can make a plan for moving forward.Outside of education, I play guitar and steel guitar and restore old pinball and arcade games.

I am a humorist, so please don't take my stern photo too seriously!I love mathematics, logic, probability, machine learning, decision making, and non-empirical theories of everything... But that should not intimidate you! I have extensive experience teaching Undergraduates in a variety of subject areas (by the time you read this, I will probably be again teaching in person courses at a University concurrently).Before I get too deep into me... I expect to focus my efforts on general college level mathematics, probability/statistics/decision making (SOA/CAS P Exam qualified), computer science, and data science/machine learning/AI (not robotics other than decision making). If you are studying at a Freshman/Sophomore Undergraduate level or preparing for College, I can meet you at your level at anything I am listed as qualified for. Upperclassmen should ask and the answer will be yes in some areas and no in others! But ask!Personally, I have a BA in Computer Science (Honors) and an MSci in Computational Finance (Honors), areas in which I have published in Academic journals. This prepared me for most recently teaching College Engineering Mathematics (Calculus, Linear Algebra) at a German University (I speak German and can teach in German or Spanish, but I am American and English is my first language). As indicated, I am suited to teach any of a variety of Computer Science related topics as well. (Ask!)I previously received a BA/MA in Philosophy, from prestigious programs, where I concentrated on Mathematical Logic and (what is now considered) Machine Learning. In these programs, I taught Logic, Probability, Inference, and English Composition. This time also infected me with a keen interest in theoretical foundations for Computer Science, Data Science, and Mathematics/Logic.Again, I encourage you to ask me whether I can help you with a topic. In general, I often can't meet a students needs when they are very technical-topic specific or otherwise very specialized mathematical areas... If you need a tutor for the Go programming language, you can probably find somebody, but I am not that person (I do everything I can in Python and its libraries, but know Java/C++/SQL and others, e.g. a bit of Prolog, R/SAS. I also web-scraped the World Factbook to build geo.atheoryof.us)... but just ask and I will help you find your way!

I believe anyone can be successful in math! There is no such thing as being good at math or bad math. All that anyone needs is a willingness to learn and a good teacher.

I am a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I received my Bachelors of Arts in Sociology and International Studies, including one year of study in Kenya. After graduating, I worked for several years as a systems analyst for a medical software company, and later for a children's hospital. This fall, I began a master's program in Cultural Foundations of Education. I teach ESL as part of my practicum in a local community center, and have also taught English in El Salvador. I am proficient in Spanish, including four months of intensive study at a Spanish language school, and am very familiar with how Spanish is taught in a classroom.Additionally, I have several months of experience tutoring in classrooms (especially middle school reading), and also have some experience tutoring the US naturalization test. I hope to complete my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification by June.I am passionate about many subjects, including Spanish, ESL, English, History, and Political Science. I attempt to ground my teaching and tutoring in the daily experiences, motivations, and goals of the student, customizing the materials to meet their needs and learning styles. I believe that education is a two-way street: we can all be teachers, and we can all be learners.

I believe in the power of education.

Hi, my name is Madison. I live in Wisconsin with my husband and daughter. I have a BA in Women's and Gender studies. I am currently getting an MBA. Reading is one of my favorite hobbies. Reading did not always come easy to me. As a young child I struggled to read well. With the help from amazing teachers and tutors I found my passion for reading.

WE can do it.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary/Middle school education and Learning Disabilities from UW-Eau Claire. I completed my post-baccaulaurate degree for Deaf/Hard of Hearing education from UW-Milwaukee. I received my Master of Arts in Education from Viterbo University. I have been a teacher for 26.5 years. I was a general education teacher for 12 years and a teacher of the deaf/hard of hearing for 14.5 years. I believe that all students can learn. I teach students age 3-21. I not only love teaching, but I love learning as well.

Dear students,It is my pleasure to introduce myself. I am an educator for more than 25 years of experience at both K-12 and university levels. I got my PhD in Education from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee in 2017, and my master's in Educational Leadership in Higher Education from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh in 2014. Besides, I have Bachelor and Master's degrees in the English Language and Literature from the University of Jordan.My students were from different backgrounds and nationalities. I have an international experience as I lived and worked in three countries before arriving in the United States. I started my career as a high school teacher of English in Dubai for 11 years. Then, I taught at higher academic institutions in Jordan, Oman, and the United States.Working at higher academic institutions for more than 14 years enhanced my professional skills and reinforced my opinions about diversity and inclusion. I am fortunate to have students from different backgrounds and ethnicities who are a rich source of understanding and appreciating other cultures.I received several awards for my dedication, commitment, and my positive contribution to education.

I tutor college physics and teach physics at a technical college. To me, tutoring is a relationship, forged with each student individually to meet you where you are and help you along your own best path toward mastery. In my free time, I love reading and writing science fiction and fantasy.

I am a Middle School and High school social studies teacher. I have a passion for teaching and helping students of all ages and I am eager to work with you!

I'm a caring, concerned, and focused tutor and coach. I work hard with my students to ensure that they "get it." With a positive attitude and determination, every student will achieve their goals!A little bit about me:I'm a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee; receiving a Bachelors in Elementary Education with an English Language emphasis, and a Masters in Non-profit Management and Leadership, with an emphasis on Education. Additionally, I've received coursework for exceptional education (special ed.) and have worked extensively with students with special needs. I've tutored students for a total of 8 years. My favorite subjects to tutor are Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. My ideal students fall between grades 1 through 6. Outside of the academia, I enjoy hobbies such as reading, writing, poetry, dance, art, music, and tennis.

Before I liked biochemistry, I was more into mathematics. So, how did I get interested in PhD.? Well, if you had met me 5 years ago, my answer would have been a strong No. But during the year 2014-2015, it was my Senior Design project that sparked that light of curiosity in my head about biochemistry. I was working with microalgae, and the work fascinated me towards biological pathways. This made my choice for PhD. much easier. When I got into PhD program, my focus of study was clear. I joined this group that has synthesized several anticancer drugs. And to learn about the drugs interaction with cellular pathways, that leads to its anticancer effect was itself very interesting and worth exploring.

Hello! I am a medical student who recently graduated with degrees in biochemistry and neuroscience from the University of Wisconsin - Madison.While I am capable at helping students with specific content in their classes, I feel that my strengths are in helping students to optimize their studying and understanding with tested methods and resources. I have successfully completed both the ACT and the MCAT, and can assist students in content related to the exams and study techniques related to them.I have conducted research in the Department of Integrative Biology as well as the Department of English at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. These experiences make me a great resource for students who desire feedback on personal statements, essays, and research papers.These last 6 years have been a whirlwind of interesting academic and personal experiences for me, and I would love to share my knowledge with other students and give them the advice I wish I had on my journey.

I love accounting! Yes, you read that right. I love accounting!What do I love more than accounting? Many things, one of which is the opportunity to help others understand accounting. Whether you are taking a single accounting class or looking to make a career of it, I'd like to work with you at your level to achieve positive results.I am patient and attentive and am willing to adapt to your learning style. I look forward to working with you!

I've been teaching for 3 years and absolutely love it! I have worked with mostly high school kids but have also worked with middle schoolers. My daughter started school in the last few years and we are always working on homework and her skills. I enjoy seeing others learn, let's make this happen!I believe in presenting students with the information and skills they need to become stronger academically and build the confidence and skills required to navigate today's world as an independent learner. All students can improve if they desire and I strive to aid students to find their best.

My success in teaching has been in teaching small groups of math and teaching students one on one. I will always try to teach a math skill so students have multiple ways to come to an answer and they have a complete understanding of what is going on. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee with a degree in Middle Childhood -Early Adolescence Education. I have taught in Milwaukee Public Schools for the last year and a half.

I am a world-traveled teacher, with a degree in Global Studies and a certificate in Peace and Conflict Resolution. I have taught English in Rwanda, South Korea, and France. I have also led many workshops in non-violent communication. More recently, I created and taught a course on cryptocurrency for beginners. I am also a beekeeper who loves to teach people about honeybees and the importance of pollinators and sustainable agriculture. As a tutor, I connect easily with students, and I make learning fun and memorable while ensuring they are confident in the material.

I use my education and life experiences as a guide to living in general and in my personal interactions with others.In teaching, I combine my extensive educational background with related professional experience. I am willing to go an extra mile for all students who are willing to make a serious commitment to learning.It is my personal opinion, the use of common sense, will lead to rational and logical life decisions. Often this leads an individual to realize some things are not as difficult as they may appear.

I was introduced to teaching while pursuing, and eventually completing, my Ph.D. in analytical chemistry. Teaching in a lecture setting was a largely impersonal process. I wanted to teach in a setting where the student was comfortable asking questions, which is not an easy task in a large classroom. Teaching for me has always been more rewarding when doing so in a one-on-one setting. In this scenario, I can easily tailor the lessons to the needs and pace of the student. Teaching with Varsity will allow me to teach the way I like to.
