I graduated from The George Washington University in 2015 with a BA in International Affairs. After graduating college, I moved to the Mississippi Delta to teach with Teach for America. Teach for America (TFA) is an AmeriCorps program that recruits, trains, and places top college graduates in high needs schools throughout the country. During my time with TFA, I taught a variety of science courses in my placement high school, including state tested biology. I am a certified biology and social studies teacher for grades 7-12. My time teaching has been both rewarding and challenging. One of my focuses as a lead science teacher was to work with students on college readiness. From ACT prep to rigorous lab based science instruction, we saw students grow five points on the ACT and increased the pass rate on the state exam. As my time with Teach for America comes to an end, I am excited to continue my commitment to education with Varsity Tutors. Currently I am working on a Master’s in Public Health at Emory University.

One of my most profound joys comes from guiding learners in the process of accelerating growth, closing academic gaps, and believing in themselves. Ensuring their future success is more than a passion for me: It is my mission.I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Special Education from West Chester University and a Master of Arts in Administration, Supervision, Curriculum Planning, and Instruction from Georgian Court University. Throughout my teaching career, I have also engaged in numerous training and research opportunities. Most recently, I took a course entitled "Penn Literacy Network 1" as well as several additional educational workshops from the University of Pennsylvania.My philosophy of teaching is that educators must ensure each learner is reaching his/her full potential by attending to "the whole child". In addition to providing excellent academic instruction, teachers must also address the social and emotional needs of students and create exciting learning environments where they are eager to learn and participate. Instructionally, I believe in the use practices that are research-based and rooted in Universal Design. This includes multi-sensory, hands-on, mnemonic, and metacognitive approaches that address the needs of individuals of various learning styles and ability levels. It is also my strong belief that educators must provide well-planned, explicit instruction as well as highly engaging co-constructive learning opportunities that build critical thinking skills, encourage lifelong learning, and pave the way for future success. I work tirelessly to ensure that I uphold all of these values while maintaining a high spirited, engaging, supportive, and motivating learning environment. In reporting on my teaching performance, principals have used descriptors such as: "Mrs. Berodyn takes her students on a journey of excitement and exploration.", "The success rate of her students in high.", and "She is a model for teachers to emulate."My prior experience includes 28 wonderful years as a resource room teacher in New Jersey. I taught in K-5 whole group, inclusionary classrooms as well as in small group, individualized settings for learning disabled students. My passion and dedication was recognized there with a "Teacher of the Year Award" and a listing in Who's Who Among America's Teachers. After moving to Pennsylvania, I also had the great pleasure of teaching for 5 years as a Basic Skills Instructional Aide, providing targeted tutoring to individuals and small groups of kindergarten through 6th grade students. In both career experiences, the goal of my instruction was to inspire a love of learning, increase student skills, and close achievement gaps in reading, writing, spelling and math.Currently, I tutor in reading, writing, spelling, and math for students in kindergarten through 4th grade as well as adult literacy. Although I truly enjoy teaching all of these subject areas, I am most passionate about reading. Because it is most critical to the future success of my students, I have engaged in extensive literacy research and received training in a number of multi-sensory and specialized reading program (such as Wilson, Lindamood-Bell, Preventing Academic Failure, SRA Reading Mastery, Stevenson, Reading Recovery, and Corrective Reading). I take great pride and joy in knowing that I have helped hundreds of students overcome significant reading difficulties.When I am not tutoring, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, hiking, cooking, listening to music, playing guitar, and taking pictures!

I am a Board Certified Family Nurse Practition and have been practicing for 14 years across a variety of clinical areas. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am passionate about teaching Nurse Practitioner students because they are the furture of our profession and it is critical to learn as much as possible before going into practice. Nurse Practitioners are essential to our healthcare system and improve the health of our patients consistently.

Hello, my name is Emily. I am here to help tutor students online and help students better understand the courses that they are enrolled in. I have a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration and Accounting. I love math and numbers. I love to read books.

I am passionate about helping students do well in their coursework because I know what it is like to struggle with understanding certain concepts. There would be times where I didn't know how to answer a type of problem or how to ask questions. I found that the greatest solution to being stuck in these situations is to ask for help from someone who knows the material and can explain it to me in a way that I can understand. I work towards helping students understand the concepts behind their coursework so that they'll know how to answer questions they face on homework assignments and exams. I like to ask students questions about the topic with which they are having trouble to gauge their understanding while also challenging them to think.I have a Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences from Rutgers University-New Brunswick. I tutored students throughout all four years of my undergraduate career, ranging from elementary students to fellow undergraduate students. I helped elementary students who spoke English as a second language in math and reading for a year, I taught Chemistry to other undergrad students for a whole academic year, and I tutored middle school students and high school students in subjects with which they had trouble for a year and a half. These subjects were often algebra, geometry, and physics.

I attended the University of Texas at Arlington where I obtained a Bachelor's of Science in Economics with a minor in mathematics as well as a Master of Arts in Economics. Additionally, I recently graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas with a Master of Science in Statistics. Whatever the setting or pursuit, I adhered to particular courses of action, inadvertently then deliberately, that may be expressed concisely as the following: comprehension and practice compromise the prudent approach to learning. During my tenure in graduate school, I served as a graduate teaching assistant. This required me to grade, tutor, and proctor at both the undergraduate and graduate levels

I am a senior at Bryn Mawr College majoring in Sociology and minoring in Child and Family Studies and Education. I am currently wrapping up my teaching certification program teaching American History in a Philadelphia public school. I have extensive experience teaching and tutoring English, History and essay writing with elementary, middle and high school students. I strongly believe learning is a collaborative, student directed process and I love helping students acquire long-term learning skills. My favorite part of teaching is watching students gain confidence and pride in their work; eureka moments make my day!

I graduated from the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) with a BA in Classical Civilizations. After graduation, I have worked as a classical languages, writing, and literature tutor, teaching students ranging from middle schoolers to doctoral candidates. I am also a junior high Latin teacher at St. Norbert School. While I love helping students with any language-related subject (in fact, I truly enjoy analyzing English grammar!), I am most passionate about teaching Latin. I find it extremely gratifying when my students realize that a so-called "dead" language can actually be relevant to their lives! When tutoring Latin, I like to focus on using various strategies to help students "read with expectations, " meaning that students engage in linear reading (reading left-to-right, without skipping around), and approach texts with a notion of what makes a sentence complete. More generally, as a tutor, I am very patient and flexible, always keeping a student's goals and motivations in mind when planning and teaching lessons.When I'm not teaching, I enjoy various hobbies: reading contemporary fiction, visiting museums, taking bike rides, and spending time with my pet rabbit!

I am a graduate of the University of Adelaide in South Australia. I received my Ph.D. and Bachelors of Science (Honors) in the field of Microbiology. I have extensive teaching experience being an Adjunct Professor at the City College of Chicago, Stratford University, and Marymount University teaching the Microbiology, General Biology, and General Science courses. I have taught many minority, multicultural, and mature age students studying to enter pre-nursing, medical assistant, and pharmacology courses. I have also been a Volunteer Lecturer at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine. I have attended numerous Grand Rounds and Case Studies presented by Physicians at the Department of Infectious Diseases at UIC and the NIH. I want to provide students with the opportunity to utilize my knowledge and experience in microbiology and the biological sciences. I tutor the subjects of Microbiology, Genetics, and General Biology. My favorite subject to tutor is Microbiology as I have 25 years experience as a research scientist studying the genetics and molecular mechanisms of microbial pathogens at Medical Research Institutions and Universities around the world. I have lived in three countries, have numerous friends from different cultures, and have traveled extensively throughout Europe and Scandinavia.I believe in providing students with a comfortable environment where they have the confidence to ask questions and not be afraid to display their ignorance. This is especially true if they believe the question is too trivial. I demonstrate my own enthusiasm for the subject and explain why I feel it should be so interesting and important to everyone in society. I do this by regaling personal experiences in the field, real-life current situations involving biologically, topical events, and stories I know of scientific researchers who made various discoveries. I also make the subject more human by openly discussing the nuances of newsworthy topical events and real-life situations. I describe how topics in the course apply to their own lives, bodies, and health. As often as possible I use real life and news worthy events to explain the science behind the social discussion. This includes stories related to scientific research, specific infectious diseases, and patient case studies. Putting flesh onto the bones of the course material provides a student with something that is concrete and familiar to them. I am a strong believer in the use of videos, photos, websites, and 3D models to provide texture to some of the more difficult concepts of the course.

I am currently an undergraduate student at Western Washington University pursuing a BS in Environmental Science with an emphasis in toxicology. I am most passionate on subjects that pertain to life sciences such as Environmental Science and Ecology, however have a deep appreciation for the fundamentals taught in biology and chemistry. I have a deep value for education and continuing to stay up-to-date with the current knowledge and research. Hopefully through tutoring, I can pass off this same appreciation for knowledge and get my students excited for learning and understanding new topics.
