I started tutoring because of my passion for learning and education.I tutored college level Math and History for over two years through the VCU Campus Learning Center. One of the math courses I tutored for was the lowest level of math offered at the university. Many of my tutees were students who disliked math because of their struggles with the subject. I was very successful with these student because I helped them find the relevance in what they were learning. I have worked with a wide range of students including adult learners, students with learning disabilities and ESL students. I have now been tutoring for Varsity Tutors for over three years.What makes me a great tutor is my patience, positivity and passion for seeing my students succeed.

"I just get it the way you explain it" is a refrain I cherish in my teaching experience. I have taught all middle school academic subjects even though my degrees are in music. A passionate learner myself, I strive to share that with my students. Whether leading a classroom, instructing my own children, or teaching private music lessons, personalizing and customizing the learning experience is and always has been the ultimate goal. I hold bachelor's and master's degrees in music performance which I eventually used to get my teaching certification. I am certified to teach middle school math (including algebra), ELA, and science; math is my passion. When not teaching, I love to travel. On my bucket list are seeing the brown bears in Katmai, Alaska and polar bears in Churchill, Canada as well as Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. I cherish working with learners, facilitating the skills that will help them open doors that will maximize their potential to positively engage in our world.

BA Virginia Commonwealth University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, with a Bachelor of Science in Mass Communications and a focus in Journalism. Since graduation, I have worked as a writer and editor for several start up magazines, an English and Math tutor for students from pre-K through 12th grade, and a nationally touring stand up comedian. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but I am most passionate about reading, writing and public speaking. I believe in making learning fun, and showing students how the subject is relevant to their life in a very practical way. I'm also a big believer in self learning; whenever possible I try to guide the students to the point where they can find the answer on their own, rather than just telling it to them straight out. Outside of tutoring, I love reading, comedy, superhero movies, and music.

Thank you for considering me as your tutor. Here are my hard qualifications: - 4 years of experience teaching middle school reading and writing. - 6 years of experience tutoring college-level essay writing, reading analysis strategies, and studying techniques. - 4 years of experience tutoring all of K12 writing and reading. My hard qualifications show my earnestness to work with a vast selection of clientele. With this in mind, I find particularly helpful to approach learning with a knowledge of my students' personal strengths and interests upfront. Not all students are equal, and I appreciate my students' necessities to not only learn different strategies, but to learn these strategies in a way that coheres with their inner strengths.

MS Pennsylvania State University • BA Virginia Commonwealth University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Penn State University. I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering from Virginia Commonwealth University, my Master's degree in Applied Statistics from Penn State University, and am working for another Master's degree in Systems Engineering at Old Dominion University. My tutoring experience consists of tutoring high school students in their math courses as well as tutoring college and graduate students in their math/statistics courses. The subjects that I tutor students in are Algebra I-II, Geometry, Trigonometry, Statistics, ACT/SAT Math, Calculus, Differential Equations, GRE Quantitative, and graduate-level statistics. These are my favorite subjects to tutor students in because they are subjects that I have a very good knowledge of and want to help people succeed in these areas. My methodology for tutoring people is as follows: [1] Find out exactly what parts of the math subject the student needs help with [2] Make a tentative schedule for going over the said parts. [3] Cover those parts to the point that the student has no more difficulties in the math subject. Outside of academia, my main hobbies consist of chess and running. I also have a tricolor Shetland Sheepdog named Captain.
