Judy

Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects

I graduated from Rice University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Post-graduation, I was a Consultant in Deloitte Consulting's Strategy & Operations practice for four years. Most recently I decided to change my career and am currently pursuing a MS in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fuller.I am most interested in tutoring math (middle school, high school, SAT/ACT, GRE, AP Statistics) for many reasons. My affinity for math dates back to my childhood - I've always been intrigued by it. Because of this interest, I participated in various math competitions and excelled in classes and on standardized tests. I wanted to share my passion with others and so started tutoring peers as early as middle school. Although I graduated from Rice with a BA in Psychology, my time with math did not end there. I took Differential Equations and various statistics courses as electives (for fun)!My tutoring experience includes informal tutoring of peers throughout my lifetime, private tutoring of high school students during college, teaching at a private high school during college, and mentoring peers and new hires during my time with Deloitte.As people think differently, I believe in adapting my teaching style to fit each student. Because of my varied professional background, I am able to explain problems from different angles; this allows students to choose the method they personally find most logical.In my spare time, I enjoy rock climbing, hiking, swing dancing, interesting discussions, and traveling (I have been to over 20 different countries in the last 5 years)!

Armen

Business Tutor • +41 Subjects

My name is Armen and I love teaching and helping others succeed academically!I understand what it’s like to struggle with a subject, since I experienced challenges in school myself. Despite that, I graduated from high school with flying colors, went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from UCSB, a master’s degree from SDSU and a law degree from CWSL.I have taught younger people in the Santa Barbara region for many years in a program called, Academic Chess, and turned some of my students into very high ranking players for their age brackets. I’ve held both group lessons, as well as worked individually to achieve significant improvements in my student’s abilities. I also help friends, family, and relatives with their course work ranging from elementary school through college and am told I’m quite enjoyable to work with.My teaching style is very fun, calm, easy going, but also stress accountability. It is important to set goals and make sure we get the results we’re looking to attain.Pick me as your tutor if you’d like someone who will make learning enjoyable and who genuinely cares to see you achieve and succeed!

I received my bachelor degree in statistics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign this year. With a solid foundation of statistics, Id like to help more students to improve their grades and find their own way of tackling the subject. I'd like to share my learning tips I got when I was a student. Besides statistics, I am also interested in tutoring algebra and calculus. I like to encourage students to ask questions to ensure they completely understand the content and could apply to new problems. The sudden moment when the students understand something they've been struggling with is the truly rewarding to me.Outside of tutoring, I like to watch movies, anime and listen to indie music.

Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects

I would be honored to provide you with tutoring services in Math, Science, English, Essay Writing, or Test Preparation. My love of teaching/tutoring, my ability to explain difficult concepts in an easy-to-understand manner, as well as my deep understanding of aforementioned subjects have allowed for my students over the last 10 years of tutoring to excel. (Being the son of two teachers probably doesn't hurt either!) My goal is to not only give your student the skills necessary to excel in the particular tutoring subject, but also see real-world application of the material. Since I am a Mechanical Engineer currently working in the Aerospace industry, I have examples of how Math, Science and even Writing skills are vital to solving everyday problems. When tutoring, my goal is to truly get to know the student and make the material relevant to his/her life. For example, I would try to incorporate your student's interests into a Math or Science problem in order to make the problem personal. While I love tutoring all subjects, tutoring Math is definitely my favorite! Throughout my tutoring experiences I have tutored students from a wide variety of cultural and religious backgrounds, and I have enjoyed each and every experience!If your student is either struggling or exceling, but would like to delve deeper into Math, Science, English, or Test Preparation, then I would love to help your student meet his/her full potential!

ACT Prep Tutor • +27 Subjects

My first job out of college was as a tutor and mentor in a high school in Chicago. I worked with 9th graders, mainly in Algebra, and I fell in love with both teaching math and working with students one-on-one.I studied Social Policy, with a focus on Education Policy, as well as Economics and Spanish as an undergraduate at Northwestern University, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude. My undergraduate experience solidified my decision to pursue a career working with young people. I am now a graduate student in Social Work at UC Berkeley where I work with foster youth in a case management and counseling role.I have continued to tutor several students in elementary school math, Algebra, study skills, and writing over the last two years. I am hoping to expand my tutoring services, and I am very excited to meet new students through Varsity Tutors!

Justin

AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +17 Subjects

For the last 10 years as a youth mentor I have worked to help students succeed. While mentoring has meant life coaching, counseling and college visits, it has also included a substantial amount of academic tutoring. I have a passion for people and a strong belief in the power of words: written, spoken, and sung! I especially enjoy helping students connect with their passions and then translate that passion to the page. I also have quite a bit of recent experience with the GRE. I believe that taking the GRE is a skill - and that means that with practice you can get better at it! I would love to share specific strategies that helped me and others succeed. I have a BA in Linguistics, two masters degrees in religious studies, and am currently completing a PhD in Theology and Culture at Fuller Seminary. I am a self-confessed nerd (I once presented a paper at a conference on The Hobbit). I am a huge fan of fitness and ran a free CrossFit "garage gym" with over 20 members for several years. I play the guitar and attempt the piano. I enjoy traveling and recently hiked the Incan Trail to Machu Picchu. I can tutor in a broad range of subjects and would enjoy connecting to see how I can help you attain your personal goals!

Jack

AP Comparative Government and Politics Tutor • +25 Subjects

I attended Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas for high school where I graduated with honors and then moved out to California to attend Loyola Marymount University to continue what the Jesuits like to refer to as "Cura Personalis" or "Education of the Whole Person." At LMU I majored in English Literature, but I also had the opportunity to engage in creative writing of all types and flavors including but not limited to poetry, fictional prose, playwriting, and various forms of journalism. I minored in Archaeology, which blended my love of history with my passion for anthropology. I acted as the Assistant Curator at LMU's on campus museum, which grew during my tenure by 60% in terms of donations and acquisitions. As the Curator I had the opportunity to give lectures and tutor college-aged students in history, art, architecture, and historical preservation. I graduated Loyola Marymount University with honors, and decided to attend Southwestern Law School. At Southwestern, I specialized in criminal law, labor law, civil procedure, and constitutional law. I graduated Southwestern, attained my Juris Doctor, and sat for the California Bar Exam in July. Above all things, I prize academic prowess and the desire to learn and master more. As such, I chose a career in which I know I can act as a constant student and a constant teacher. Such a level of dedication is required, in fact, because the law is fluid and in a constant state of flux.I tutor in history, English literature of all types (writing, reading comprehension, analytical thinking), government, and politics. Throughout my educational and professional career I have been regarded as an exceptional writer. I have actually had the opportunity to edit many publications which have appeared in print as well as online. As such, I am adept at aiding students in how to be their own editors and how to see the gaps in their writing and where they need improvement. My favorite subject to tutor is history. I especially love world history.My hobbies include keeping physically active. I love to play basketball and beach volleyball. I enjoy playing golf, but I'm not very good. Golf is an activity which I picked up in my adult life. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. I also enjoy watching movies, reading good books, hiking, cooking, and generally keeping an open mind. I constantly find new activities that I enjoy.
