Award-Winning Tutors in University City, MO

...geared toward preparing the students for the nationally standardized MAP tests. During my 2 years with UrbanFuture, I was able to develop different teaching methods and styles dependent on the student I was teaching. Everyone has their own special way to learn, it's my job to help you find that! From UrbanFuture, I proceeded to tutor with pay privately for my parents' colleague's children in elementary school in mathematics, science, and reading. From my years...

...found it is often an integral part of truly mastering a topic. My tutoring approach takes a hands-on style that lets students work through problems with assistance first, and then on their own. This style allows the student to become confident in his/her knowledge of the material and face new problems with that same confidence. Each student is different and I do my best to quickly learn what works best for their learning style, and...

I'm passionate about teaching students in the areas of reading comprehension, grammar, and English literature. For two semesters I served as instructional associate for a course in introductory grammar at Syracuse University's prestigious S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I had as a graduate student. I loved seeing my students make progress and begin enjoying a course that they had been struggling with.

...of subjects including Psychology, Spanish, French, Reading, and Writing (including ACT Test Prep). My favorite subjects work on are Essay Editing and Psychology, but any subject can be fun! My tutoring style is best described as a relaxed environment so that the student can learn at a pace that best fits their abilities. I love to work with students on an educational plan so that they can reach goals and mark their progress. I am...

...I would describe my teaching style to be very flexible and dependent on the student as everyone learns with different techniques. Often times students don't necessarily understand something in class because they don't prefer the teaching style and so I think as a tutor it is important for me to have various approaches to different problems ready. Outside of academia, I try to stay as physically fit as possible. My interests are running (was a...

...other instructors, motivated students, and led one on one classes during the afterschool program. Also, in high school, I was briefly a tutor for geometry, chemistry, and calculus AB. Currently, I just finished my first year of college at Saint Louis University (SLU). I am premedical student who is majoring Biology, and I am seriously considering pursuing a second major in Anthropology. I have recently been accepted to work as a lecture assistant for the...

...both help students quickly improve their test scores through simple test-taking tricks, but I can also help them develop their abilities and strengthen their conceptual grasp of a more difficult field. I find I get the strongest improvement in the reading and math sections. For STEM subjects specifically, my dual major allows me to communicate math ideas better than most other tutors. I also enjoy working on essays, and I often helped my friends in...

...have learned in the past and use it to help out students to the best of my abilities. Needing tutors myself in the past, I know what I like in them and what I hoped they would improve at. Also taking from my past experiences as a tutor, I now have a working style that I have seen be a success. Using Varsity Tutors, I am excited to be able to work with various students...

...AP and regular science courses, SAT test prep, and MCAT sections. One of my favorite subjects to tutor in is Chemistry as I have taken many courses in the subject and really enjoy it. When tutoring, I like to emphasize understanding of key concepts through practical applications and I like to converse with the student ahead of time to see what learning style works best for them. When I'm not tutoring, I like to read,...

...in the classroom happened when working individually with students, and I'm looking forward to continuing to help students learn and grow. I am most passionate about English and reading; however, I am willing and able to tutor in math and science. I am a firm believer in education of the whole child. While a correct answer is always great, learning critical thinking skills is even better. In my spare time, I exercise, read the news,...
