4+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Appalachian State University with double degree in Mathematics and Philosophy, and a minor in Computer Science. I am currently working toward completing my degree in Computer Science at Oregon State University. Since graduating I have been a classroom teacher of Mathematics and Computer Science. I have taught every math class ranging from Elementary Algebra to Calculus. Students in my classes know they will be asked to explore topics and think critically about the content. I believe that students learn best when the material is meaningful and interesting. For that reason, I use lots of real-world examples and I work to learn about what my students are interested in so that I can connect the material to their life. I believe education is important because it helps us continually grow as individuals and intellectuals. In my spare time in enjoy playing video games, reading, and playing music. I am also working on multiple coding projects in Python, Java, and Javascript.

I have 8 years in special education and 4 years as a certified teacher. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and 44 master's hours toward an MEd in special education.

I can help with all subjects in grades 1-6 and some specialty areas such as astronomy, history, social studies, and art. I love to teach and seeing the spark of understanding within any subject. My philosophy of teaching is that I truly believe that ALL children can learn and I never stop trying to find what works for your child.

I enjoy teaching, helping students gain knowledge, skill, and thereby power. I think the strength and skills of the younger generation are the most important things we can pass on. It takes education to develop those characteristics. I have an admiration and respect for Science, in particular Biology and Environmental Science, and I can not imagine a better way to spend my time than to talk about these two favorites, along with Math, with young people. And lastly, I have had a very supportive and happy experience working with Varsity Tutors, and I wholeheartedly approve of the way they manage the relationship of parents and students with we tutors. I tell everyone this is the best "job" I every have had.

I am a graduate from Appalachian State University with a Bachelors in Elementary Education and a concentration in science. I am also a Masters degree candidate in reading education with a certificate in teaching emergent bilinguals. I've been tutoring an emergent bilingual student for several months and I hope to continue more students of different backgrounds. While I am well prepared to tutor any subject, I am most passionate to teach math since I've always liked solving for word problems and working with numbers. In my spare of time I enjoy hiking, and spending time with my family. I enjoy helping students, especially those who struggle in a subject and want more guidance because this allows a more one on time with students in the areas they might be falling behind and it gives us an opportunity to guide and help that student achieve their goal.

I am a graduate of Appalachian State University. I received my B.S. in Applied physics and my M.S. in Engineering Physics with a focus in Laboratory Automation. I worked as a TA for intro physics and electronics labs and am currently teaching math courses for an after-school program for accelerated students. My passion for math and physics has led to me greatly enjoying teaching others and watching them discover the laws that govern the world we live in. My teaching style involves leading students with questions to find the answers themselves. Understanding the underlying concepts is the key to mastery, not just memorization of equations and formulas.

I believe that chemistry isn't just a subjectit's a way of understanding the world around us. My approach to tutoring is to meet students exactly where they are in their learning journey, building confidence step-by-step. I focus on making complex concepts accessible by connecting them to real-world applications, whether it's the chemistry behind cooking, environmental issues, or everyday materials. By linking theory to practical examples, I help students see the relevance of what they're learning and develop the skills to think critically, solve problems, and succeed in the classroom and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tutors who attended or graduated from Appalachian State University bring firsthand familiarity with rigorous coursework, local academic standards, and the specific challenges students face in your area. They understand the curriculum depth at App State and similar institutions, which helps them pitch instruction at the right level and anticipate common stumbling blocks. This direct experience means they can share proven study strategies and offer insights into what professors expect, making instruction more relevant and effective.

Tutors with App State backgrounds excel across a wide range of subjects, particularly in core academics like mathematics, sciences, English, and business—areas where App State maintains strong programs. Many have advanced expertise in engineering, education, health sciences, and liberal arts disciplines. Because they've completed these coursework sequences themselves, they can break down complex topics clearly and guide students through the same material they once mastered, providing confident, informed instruction.

Yes. Tutors who graduated from Appalachian State University are excellent guides for high school students preparing for college. They've navigated the transition themselves and can help you build the academic habits, time management skills, and conceptual depth that college instructors expect. They can also speak authentically about what life at App State is like, answer questions about balancing coursework and campus life, and prepare you for the intellectual rigor of university-level instruction.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to focus entirely on your learning style, pace, and goals in ways a classroom setting cannot. An App State alumni tutor can adjust explanations on the fly, spend extra time on weak areas, and accelerate through concepts you've already mastered. Research consistently shows that individualized attention significantly improves learning outcomes—tutors can diagnose exactly where confusion starts and address it immediately, rather than moving at a group pace that may leave gaps in your understanding.

Varsity Tutors matches you with tutors based on your subject, academic level, and learning needs—including the option to prioritize tutors with App State experience. Once matched, you'll work directly with your tutor to schedule sessions, set goals, and build a customized learning plan. The process is straightforward and designed to get you productive instruction as quickly as possible, so you can start making progress on the skills and subjects you need most.

Absolutely. When a tutor has walked the same academic path you're on—completing the same coursework, passing the same exams, and mastering the same concepts—it builds confidence. Seeing someone who succeeded reassures you that the material is learnable, and their specific guidance helps you develop the skills and understanding to succeed too. Over time, as concepts click and your grades improve, that confidence compounds, making it easier to tackle harder material and take on new academic challenges.

Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can work around your schedule, whatever that looks like—whether you need sessions early morning, evenings, weekends, or during semester breaks. This flexibility means you can get support exactly when you need it most, whether that's during midterms, before major projects, or to help you master foundational concepts early in the semester so later coursework feels more manageable.
