There I lived with a host family and was fully enriched by the beautifully rich Spanish culture; nothing could have been better for my acquisition skills...

...failed to excel in Math. I excelled in all my other subjects, but Math was a different beast. In High School, I resolved to give Math my all, once and for all. I signed up for some intensive tutoring--3 hours a day, 6 days a week, for one month. On a grading scale (UK), where a score of 75% or higher is an A (and I was hoping to reach the 75% mark), I scored...

...writers, readers, and thinkers. At the root of my passion for tutoring is the "growth mindset" outlook: the idea that academic ability is not set in stone; that all students, at all levels, have the potential to grow; and that with hard work and effective support, they will. As a tutor, I am committed to nurturing and maintaining a growth mindset in my sessions. Whether a learner is a top-scoring perfectionist with a fear of...

...pre-algebra to help students prepare for college math to students in Calc 2. Since starting with Varsity in 2018, I have tutored students in high school from introductory algebra to pre-calculus and SAT prep. The biggest thing I've learned as a tutor is that everyone has a unique learning style and I was trained to be able to adapt to these different styles. Outside of school work, I love to go hiking with my husband...

Despite this, I decided to become a tutor because the last thing I ever wanted was for someone else to feel as if they were inadequate or to have someone encounter an instance of rushed tutoring. I have now been tutoring for a little over 4 years and have gained much experience along the way. Throughout these years, I learned to adjust to the students...

...been studying English -- sometimes for years -- but can't speak? That's what I hear(d) from my students. Of course, now they are all speaking!! Once you can speak, learning and using English becomes dynamic. You learn more and your confidence soars. Success makes for more success. I tutor adults -- professionals in business and industry, but also educators and medical doctors. If you are trying to pass the TOEFL, I tutor that as well....

For Math and Chemistry, I believe in trying as many problems as possible to learn all of the various tricks associated with them, as well as going over the different concepts to make sure that the basics are fully understood. For Biology, I use a similar style, but...

It is my pleasure to pass on the love of reading and the love of learning to the younger generation. Out of my love...
