I am currently a medical resident at Brockton Hospital and will be continuing my training in Dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital next summer. I received my medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine and completed my undergraduate training at Northwestern University with a Bachelor's degree in Biology.While I love teaching all subjects, science is easily my favorite because it explains how everything works and is so applicable to the world around us. Not everyone loves science, but I have found that once a student gains the skills and confidence they need, science becomes a fascinating subject that stimulates their curiosity and excitement.Most of the students I tutor come to me for help with science or math; however, I have also helped students with standardized test prep and general study and time management skills. As a medical student, I've had plenty of personal experience with managing a rigorous course load, test anxiety, and time management. My experiences as a student help me relate to my students. Having been through the stressful college and medical school application process myself, I can give my students the advice and encouragement they need to be successful. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, scuba diving, baking, and playing tennis.

I am a successful and compassionate educator with over 5 years of experience working with students in classroom, small group, and 1-on-1 settings. I hold a B.A. in Teaching English as a Second Language, which I have used to prepare over 40 refugee minors to enter into the U.S. public school system, equip dozens of adult learners to obtain jobs and connect with their communities, and expand the horizons of 200 foreign students with the possibilities of bilingualism. Additionally, my thorough knowledge of the English language has allowed me to work as a collegiate writing coach, executing detailed revisions of academic assignments and helping students improve their writing skills. My experience is not limited to language arts, however, as my career has led me to students with a variety of needs and I have tutored students in grades K-12 in math, science, history, and Spanish. Tutoring in and of itself has become a passion of mine, as I have seen the confidence and skills that one-on-one instruction can provide to students who would otherwise be struggling. From kindergarteners who are grasping the tools necessary to excel academically to seniors who are embracing the language required to engage socially, every student is working towards a massive goal and I consider it a joy to provide them with the resources and support to reach it.

I graduated from the University of Notre Dame summa cum laude, receiving my BA in Spanish and Premedical Studies.I have tutored many different subjects at nearly all levelsfrom high school to graduate schoolbut I love to teach college-level science the most. AP Biology is a favorite of mine, as it draws on a lot of my own interests as a student soon to matriculate into medical school.My teaching style is student-focused: I learn concepts in different ways so I can explain those concepts my students in a way that makes sense to them.

I graduated from Drew University in 1988 and went on to receive a master's degree at Kean College of New Jersey in Behavioral Sciences: Human Behavior and Organizational Psychology. I have taught 4th grade, and worked as a college level writing tutor. For many years, I have been a substitute teacher. This means that I am flexible and ready for almost anything. I have always enjoyed working with students at various ages and skill levels as well as teaching a variety of subjects. I am passionate about helping my students to achieve their goals and to be a positive voice for them. When not working, I love to travel and to cook.

I majored in Middle Eastern Studies and minored in math during undergrad at Cornell. Since graduating I've worked in a number of fields and countries, although the common theme is teaching English and researching in the Middle East. As an English Teaching Assistant at Weill Medical School in Qatar, I became competent at editing and guiding students in writing. I'm now a first year fellow studying Policy Analysis at the Pardee RAND Graduate School.

I'm a New York transplant to LA, and a freelance composer and musician by nature. I am an artist and a teacher-- these are my two passions! I'm also a translator, linguistics nerd, avid reader, and fabulous teacher. I went to NYU and studied Linguistics, and am continuing my studies for an Applied Linguistics Masters here in California.I have been teaching and tutoring for many years, since I started college. I've done private SAT Prep tutoring both here and in New York, as well as prep for other standardized tests such as the ISEE, SSAT, and HSPT. I also teach a bi-weekly SAT Prep course in Glendale, and an advanced Competition Math class for two age groups (6-8 and 9-12). It's a lot of fun! I've always found math pretty neat and like to get students interested in it too!I love to travel and have been fortunate enough to do a lot of it during my quarter-century on this planetRussia, all over Europe, the Middle East, Venezuela, Mexico, India, and pretty much every state in this country. You only live once, and I really do learn something new every day.Of all the jobs I've had while pursuing music and art, I've found that teaching is the one in which I have the most to offer and that gives me the most in return. I believe that confidence is the largest factor in success at anything, and preparation leads to confidence. This applies to the SAT test; it applies to performing a concert; it is universal. I want to help build confidence in others, too.

As a teacher, I am excited about the opportunity to apply my skills and experience through the Varsity Tutors platform. During my time as a teacher, I have learned two important things that will help students grow. The first thing is knowing how to adjust to the way a student learns. The second thing is making the material come to life in a way that gets the students excited about learning and understanding their lessons. As an enthusiastic teacher, I am dedicated and passionate about enabling young minds to grow and achieve their academic goals.

Hey there! I'm Calise, and I'm here to help you master, practice or even just explore topics that may seem tricky or new to you! I believe that you can do anything you set your mind to, so- let's do this!

I'm a 2018 graduate of Ouachita Baptist University with two degrees in English and mass communication. Currently, I'm pursuing a master's in library science (focusing on youth services) from Simmons University. I spent two years as a reporter for a local newspaper covering education, where I realized just how much I enjoy working with students. Due to my educational background and personal interests, I'm most passionate about tutoring literature and writing. Words are our most powerful tool! I want to help young people develop their voices and realize that reading doesn't have to be a chore.

I believe all students (motivated and struggling) can achieve their goals; it is a matter of giving them the appropriate tools to reach their goals. So, classes are tailored to the student's individual needs. For example, we find angles and fractions with fun; we improve our critical thinking skills through literature; we improve our English/Spanish skills through interesting conversations, games, and roleplay. We vigorously prepare for Standardized Tests. Students are not only equipped with academic tools but also life tools. I have lived in Spain for many years and have a strong background in teaching L2 students. I graduated from St. Joseph College with a Bachelor of Arts in Literature and a minor in math.
