A passionate and committed educator, I have over seven years of experience working to help students realize their potential. Upon graduation from the University of Pennsylvania, I worked as a tutoring and mentoring program director with Arizonans for Children. After that post, I obtained my graduate degree and worked as a researcher at Teachers College, Columbia University. From there, I moved into the classroom as a teaching fellow with Success Academy Charter Schools, and, most recently, as a New York City Teaching Fellow and tenured New York City high school special education teacher. I hold one master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Teachers College, one in Special Education from Brooklyn College, and a certificate in blended learning and computer science education from Pace University. From these diverse experiences, I have acquired a flexible toolkit of strategies for connecting with students, understanding their needs, and helping them thrive. As a true lifelong learner, I have an infectious curiosity and enthusiasm for learning that I use to inspire and empower students. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my wife and family, playing and watching sports (baseball especially), and finding new and interesting reading or podcast material.

Education has always been very important to me. Many subjects can be very difficult to learn and learning how to deal with the stress of that is something that I can understand. I believe in helping people not only in understanding the subject, but also learning study techniques, planning, organization and how to deal with stress. When you do not know a subject matter it becomes boring and you lose interest. When you know the subject matter it becomes interesting and fun. No one likes to watch Jeopardy when you do not know the answers. When you know the answers, you feel confident and are having fun.

Greetings! I am a legal assistant for a criminal defense attorney in Richmond, Virginia. I received my Bachelor's, majoring in Biology, from Old Dominion University in 2014. As an undergraduate student, I completed an internship as a Laboratory Teaching Assistant for general biology. I also volunteered with the Norfolk Education Foundation as a Teacher's Assistant at W.H. Ruffner Academy. Currently, I attend Liberty University and Virginia Commonwealth University for higher level criminal justice and political certificate programs.As a busy student, I am constantly seeking ways to adapt to seemingly ever-changing learning environments. Receiving my degree in Biology produced a challenge in regards to my present job and aspirations to become a lawyer. The transition has been inspiring, however, due to the confidence and satisfaction that results from learning. I am very excited to achieve the prideful feeling of knowing with you. I believe that with creatively utilizing our resources and focusing on our goals, we can learn anything!Shermese Epps"Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he eats for life"

I grew up in Northern Michigan and attended a very small school, but I moved to Miami as soon as I graduated and got my degree in Sport Management from Barry University in Miami.I'm a non-traditional teacher, probably because I was a non-traditional student. I have ADHD and always have, so I don't always approach education from a traditional perspective. I worked for the Florida Marlins and the Miami Heat before moving back to Michigan and opening a golf shop. When I had kids, I realized it was important to be that I be involved in education, in no small part because I wanted to make sure the school wasn't as awful for my kids as it was for me.I taught kindergarten for 4 years in North Carolina and then moved to Indiana to teach at a progressive charter school. When the school closed, I co-founded School for Community Learning in Indianapolis. In the past 4 years I've taught every grade, from Kindergarten through Eighth Grade. Though I've mostly taught middle school math and Kindergarten through 2nd Grade.I love working with kids who aren't getting the most from their abilities. Whether that's student with ADHD who haven't realized all the advantages that are part of that diagnosis or gifted students who have never learned to really slow down and work because they haven't really needed to, digging in and helping students do their very best is my idea of fun.I'm a sports nut. As I said, I worked in the front office for the Florida Marlins and as a scorer for the Miami Heat. While teaching in NC, I also was a sports reporter for the Fayetteville Observer. I have coached softball for 20 years. I coached volleyball for 6. I coach my kids' baseball teams. I am a die-hard Detroit Tigers, Pistons, and Lions fan, as well as a Michigan Wolverines fan. I play golf and, in truth, my favorite hobby is playing Strat-O-Matic Baseball.I'm a bit sarcastic and love to teach with humor, but I'm also currently working on my Masters in School Counseling, so I'm pretty good at knowing when to joke around and when to be serious and supportive.

From the moment I learned what a job was, I knew I wanted a job where I was helping others. Raised by a teacher and professor, it felt as if teaching was in my blood. Becoming a teacher, with the main goal of helping my students succeed, was a no brainer. I attended the University of Central Florida (Go Knights!!!) and earned my degree in Secondary Education- Social Studies. Social studies is an umbrella with A LOT of subjects under it. My personal favorite has to be government and politics! I have taught AP and Honors Government and Politics (12th grade) and World History (6th grade). I have a ton of passion for the subject I teach and I aim to make that apparent to my students. I truly believe that students should enjoy the content that they are learning and that their enjoyment will lead to success. I keep this in mind in my teaching and tutoring. Outside of teaching and tutoring, I am a huge foodie. I love to try new restaurants and cook new meals. I also love broadway and miss going to see shows in person. Lastly, the perfect day to me is a day spent at the beach.

I am a highly experienced (10+ years) elementary and middle school teacher who has focused upon math teaching and special educational needs. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Education majoring in maths and have subsequently earned a Post Graduate Certificate in Special Educational Needs Coordination. I also have an additional qualification in dyslexia.I have substantial experience of tutoring in person and online. My last role was Head of Mathematics at a top London private school preparing children for the best schools in the world. The UK education system is ranked Number 1 in the World according to US News and World Report and my work with the lower ability children helped bolster my previous school to being in the Top 50 in the entire country! While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about math and English. I have significantly improved children's math, reading and spelling scores. I have helped struggling students to prepare for highly competitive entrance tests and fully familiar with Standardized Tests requirements and techniques.My methodology is to boost confidence, enjoy the subject and in turn results will increase. I make my lessons fun and engaging and encourage children to think beyond a process. In doing so, children will retain information, and this leads to success! Outside of tutoring, I have my own wonderful family who I adore. I enjoy going to the gym, skiing and being the best mum, I possibly can be. I recently moved to the USA from the UK to support my husband's career.

I have been a CFO and Educator over the last 25 years. I am currently teaching at leading colleges and universities. My experience also includes international students. My goal is to show and help students understand how their education in business applies to their careers. I am a seasoned business professional, and our relationship will be more than just questions and answers. I am an excellent business consultant. I look forward to working with you.

I'm a professional engineer by day and tutor, well, all the time. My day job requires me to interact daily with non-engineers and to constantly recall my schooling. Consequently, I love to explain facts in an understandable and interesting way. Many people have told me that I am a natural teacher because I am a natural learner. My profession and education as an engineer challenges me to learn new things every day and to figure out how things work.I graduated Columbia University (Master's Mech. Engineering) and The Cooper Union (Bachelor's Mech. Engineering) both with a 3.9 GPA so I know what it's like to study hard and excel in rigorous programs. One important way I got through my college and graduate school was to teach and be taught by others. This is why I love tutoring.Tutoring to me is more than just giving the answers. It's about imparting a mindset of working hard until you can solve the problem. It's about finding out WHY the answer is right and understanding the answer well enough to able to teach it to someone else. I want my students to know that hard work makes you a better person and that it's fun to learn new things; and I'm just here to show you how to do that.

Anyone can learn, and everyone wants to know something. I love to help people learn because my years in the classroom and travels throughout the world have shown me the value of knowledge and the right to learn. More than that, I consider writing the most valuable skill a person can acquire. If you want the world to hear your voice, learn to write. With a doctorates in Creative Writing and Literary and Cultural Studies, I have worked for more than forty years in classrooms, online and individual instruction with students age 7 to more than 60. I have even taught in prisons, and always learned something new.A student once said more people learn to write from me because I refuse to let them fail. The truth is I do my very best to teach and expect students to do theirs to learn. I am tough but fair - never waste a student's time, nor do I waste mine.Friends say I am an intellectual, because I love to think, read and write as much as I love to laugh. I have a master's degree are in Theology and another in Biblical Studies. To complete those programs, I also learned to read Ancient Hebrew and Greek. My undergraduate diploma is in History and Humanities with a specialization in African American Studies. That led me to learn to read in French, Spanish and Italian.

I have a great work ethic and regard educating all children as a valuable mission. Children form their personalities at a young age and I want to be able to provide a healthy, stimulating environment for them to grow and build strong, sustainable personalities and relationships.I have a college degree in Psychology and a Masters Degree in Education specializing in Reading and Mathematics. I have two children, one in 6th grade and another in 4th grade.
