I am a graduate of Vassar College with a B.A. in Political Science. I put my Political Science education to use for more than a decade working in State and Local politics, first as a Communications Director for a New York State Senator and then as the Chief of Staff to the Putnam County Executive. I have also worked on many political campaigns for election and re-election. I decided to attend law school at night while working as Chief of Staff and I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Pace Law School. I completed a two-year term clerking for a Federal Judge and now I prosecute criminals with the Westchester District Attorney's Office. I have also taught Criminal Justice at the New Rochelle campus of Monroe College.I found that when I began teaching at Monroe College, an institution known for pulling most of its students from the poorest neighborhoods of the Bronx, that many of my students would have benefited tremendously from a one-on-one tutoring relationship. That is what has brought me to Varsity Tutors. I feel compelled to work with students who, for whatever reason whether it be their own personal learning style or the difficulties associated with classroom teaching, cannot get the help they need in the traditional classroom. I feel that I have an incredible understanding, being a classroom teacher, of exactly what students need but are unable to obtain from a lecture setting. I am excited to develop this personal relationship with students in a setting that will help them get as much out of their education as possible. Every student is an individual and every student has individual needs. I want to assess students based on this philosophy and tailor a curriculum that suits their learning abilities and strengths. I believe that everyone has the ability to learn, they just have to figure out their unique personal style that will enable them to do so.In my spare time, I am an avid football, baseball, and hockey fan. Since I am originally from Pittsburgh, PA, I follow the Steelers and Penguins religiously. In my younger life, I was a professional dancer, performing in musical theater productions that toured all over the United States, and I continue to work out at the gym every day. I also love to read and have three, yes THREE, dogs who make my life very hectic but fill my home with much love.

Hi all! I am a Southern-raised and educated aspiring musical theatre actress living in Manhattan. I can provide your children with fun (as a lifelong theatre/ comedy lover and performer) as well as dedicated and serious homework help and tutoring. I was raised in a home where academics and good grades were considered my "job," and playtime a "privilege." Because of this, I graduated with a 4.7 GPA from high schoo.I am fluent in Spanish as I majored in it at UNC, studied abroad in Seville, Spain for six months, and then volunteered in Costa Rica in a daycare for five weeks. I also majored in History (American) in college, which I greatly enjoyed. In high school, I took AP Euro and AP US History and excelled on these tests, as well as the SAT subject test. I feel I can be the entertaining, dedicated, and knowledgeable tutor you may need! I look forward to hearing from you!

I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Oregon and graduated with departmental honors in 2009 with a bachelor of science in geological sciences. I completed an honors thesis on post-glacial fluvial incision in the central southern Alps of New Zealand, which incorporated field work conducted during my study abroad experience. Shortly after graduating I was hired as a geologist by a company trying to develop low temperature geothermal resources in Texas, but the company was unable to secure funding so I started working at the Bureau of Economic Geology in Austin, Texas. In the winter of 2012 I was accepted at the Colorado School of Mines and began working towards my Masters degree in June of 2012, which focused on characterizing the water chemistry variability in 20 perennial tributaries to the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. I graduate with a MS in May of 2014, and have since transitioned back to Oregon. I have a strong background in earth sciences, chemistry, math, and physics and would love to have the opportunity to assist students in these areas. I am passionate about applied science and believe that it is extremely beneficial for young students to learn this material with context, because without any context these subjects can seem like a waste of time and not worth the effort to learn. I enjoy physical activity, mostly through hiking, running, or playing soccer. I have gone on several long backpacking treks along the Pacific Crest Trail in the Sierras and around South Lake Tahoe. My biggest hiking trip was 180 miles along the John Muir Trail from Yosemite National Park to Bishop Pass over 10 days. I have two dogs, a beautiful wife, and a new baby girl.

My interest in tutoring stems from my passion for learning, planning, and optimizing productivity. I graduated from Macalester College with a Psychology major and a Mathematics minor. Since graduation in 2013, I have taken a great interest in practicing strategies to increase productivity. I have found that the most simple planning and a devotion to a small set of strategies can help a person accomplish in a day what they typically do in a week, without burning out! I believe these strategies are the most powerful in the hands of students by allowing learning to be engaging and genuinely enjoyable. The future will be shaped by motivated, fearless, efficient learners.

I love helping students find their own uniqueness and truly begin understanding how their brain works to help them learn in the most effective way.In the beginning of my teaching journey I worked as a substitute teacher in a variety of schools around Queens, NY.The following year, I was a traveling science teacher for grades K-3.I also was a test prep tutor for grades 3-5 to prepare them for their New York State standardized tests.I taught 3rd and 5th grade full time in Queens, NY for 3 years.In the summers and on Saturday mornings I taught ESL to small groups of students in various Chinese schools throughout Queens and tutored struggling students in one on one sessions.After having my own children, I created a baby sign language business where I taught beginner American Sign Language Vocabulary through music and song in mommy and me style class to parents with infants and toddlers. I often recommend that parents teach struggling readers the American Sign Language alphabet because research shows that it helps students enhance their spelling skills.I also taught English to students in China on an online platform.I received my bachelor's degree in general education grades 1-6 with a minor in english and my master's degree in teaching student's with disabilities. Both degrees are from St. John's University. I also have an TESOL certification that I received when I began teaching online.I tutor all subjects in elementary school and I especially enjoy teaching reading, test prep, ESL and math.I believe all students are capable to progress in their learning when a love of learning is present. I love motivating students to do their best by incorporating their interests into our lessons.Currently I am a homeschooling coach. I have an online course and offer one on one support to help new homeschooling families confidently homeschool their children. I have 4 children of my own that I've been homeschooling for the past 12 years.

I really enjoy when the learning process is collaborative. I will not pretend to have all of the answers. I will encourage and motivate my students to go on an adventure with me and find the answers together.In my free time, I enjoy reading, dancing, and volunteering. I also am an avid baker and am continuously learning and going on adventures.

I enjoy helping kids learn and grow as better people.

My name is Claudia, and I am originally from Boston, Massachusetts. I am an incoming third year at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), pursuing a double major in Political Science and International Development Studies. I have been tutoring for nearly five years (with organizations such as Steppingstone Academy in Boston and Alfa Group in Cluj, Romania) and have most experience working with 4th-8th graders, high school students, and college students. I have tutored students in English, Political Science, US Government and History, Geography, SAT prep, and Italian. I can speak both English and Italian fluently and have limited proficiency in Mandarin. Currently, I work at the UCLA Undergraduate Writing Center, where I help my peers improve their writing skills by assisting them with their essays, research assignments, and personal statements. Given my passion for writing and clear-cut arguments, I hope to attend law school one day.

I am a certified middle school math teacher. I am passionate to teach student learning Math, Mandarin and understanding the logic behind it.

I am a Kindergarten teacher in Atlanta, Georgia. I graduated from Auburn University with a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I am currently working towards my Master of Education degree in Reading, Language and Literacy Instruction at Georgia State University.
