I am a graduate of the University of Massachusetts with a Master's degree in Business Administration and a Bachelor's Degree in Financial Management from Upper Iowa University. I also hold a credential as a Certified Fraud Examiner and as a Certified Financial Crimes Specialist. I have gained much experience in business, finance, and securities through my position as a Market Regulation Examiner with the Chicago Stock Exchange, Examiner with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and my positions as a Manager of Internal Surveillance in the Financial Crimes Risk Management division of Charles Schwab. I currently hold a position as a Risk Analyst with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. My position requires excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, to various levels of organizations both internal and external. The Certified Fraud Examiner Membership is the standard of professional excellence in the anti-fraud profession. Obtaining the CFE membership requires a high moral character as well as annual certification of Continuing Professional Education credits in both Fraud and Ethical related studies. With this credential, in addition to my educational background, I would be an excellent addition to your company. I've completed the Series 7 exam, which is the entry-level industry standard exam for the securities industry. Additionally, I completed my certification as a Certified Financial Crime Specialist, furthering my passion and expertise for fraud and finance. I have also passed the Series 24 exam, which is the General Securities Principal Exam for FINRA.

I am a dedicated, professional and passionate educator with an accomplished career. My strengths include;differentiating activities and goals to meet each student's individual needs and abilities,enhancing instructional practices at the classroom level and raising the level of student achievement through differentiated instruction. As a teacher, I believe in mixing up my teaching based on the material presented. All students learn differently. Through communication, both teacher and student can establish the delivery method that works best for them. Teaching is my passion, reading is my expertise.

I have a National Certification as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). I particularly enjoy teaching EMT skills to others and find it very gratifying when I help someone succeed in their EMT class and pass the national EMT exam. I have assisted many EMT students with passing the national certification, including preparation for fire school, as well as helping them with EMT skills training, practice, and testing. I have worked with many students with different learning styles, as well as learning disabilities. More recently, I was working with disadvantaged students through the State of Florida. I will work with all students until they are ready to take their EMT test. I have trained as a paramedic, and I can use those skills to help you pass the NREMT. I know many NREMT testing strategies that can assist the student. I have been working with disadvantaged students through the State of Florida in both academic and self-help topics. I believe that critical thinking with rational goal setting, focused self-discipline, and the education to learn the relevant skills can transform any life from where the student is today to wherever they want to go.

I am here to help. I teach web design and digital design at a local high school. I have also been a professional photographer for over 30 years.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!

I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
