Hello! I am a Chiropractic student at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport. I have worked as an Emergency Medical Technician and I have also taught EMT courses. These include Anatomy and Physiology, CPR, and Life Support. Training paramedics is something that I've found to be very rewarding.Outside of this technical field, I have taught ESL and a variety of other academic subjects. My goal is to meet you at your level and explain topics in a way that connects with you and makes sense. By unlocking this, you are well on your way to success. I enjoy working with students of all ages.

Maryann has a lifelong love of teaching. She has a Master's Degree in Special Education. She taught in public schools. For the past several years, she enjoyed teaching online English as a Second Language classes to some wonderful Chinese students. As a mother, she homeschooled 5 children with a 14 year age span for 35 years. She has the flexibility to teach to different learning styles. She looks forward to teaching you and your children!

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 have had the privilege of gaining experience in many subjects. I love to learn! The only thing I enjoy more than learning is sharing my knowledge with others. I possess a BS in Chemistry and Psychology, concentrating in Criminal Justice, where I learned about Criminology, Forensics, and Anthropology. I have worked in Business Administration and tutored elementary math and science to collegiate chemistry. I stay active and was a lifeguard and taught swim lessons. I enjoy hula hoop dancing in my free time and do professional performances, as well as teaching lessons to all age groups. I have taught English as a Foreign Language to almost 1,000 students in many different subjects, such as Core Curriculum, Public Speaking, Grammar, Writing, and Pronunciation, and hold a TEFL certification. I am currently also a professional freelance writer in topics like Marketing and Technical and Creative Writing. I look forward to helping your child reach their academic potential and cannot wait to meet you.

I have a passion for helping students (children and adults) accomplish their goals with learning Spanish. I have several years of experience teaching all ages (as young as 1st grade through the corporate level). I enjoy learning the challenges that individuals face and helping them overcome those challenges, having gone through the same journey to Spanish fluency myself.

The purpose of education is to help our citizenry better itself thru knowledge, better skills, and an enhanced lifestyle. I believe the first step for tutors and teachers is to find a discipline they enjoy, are passionate about, and desire to share it with others. Tutors and teachers must know their audience. I have been a community college accounting instructor for 35 years and taught students possessing a wide range of academic skills, from students possessing a GED certificate to students with doctorates retraining for today's work environment. Incorporating participation from everyone in the class is vital for students to feel welcome and comfortable in the class. As teachers, we must be flexible in delivery methods. The same methods don't work for everyone. With online classes, I try to provide a variety of tools including team projects, discussion boards, narrated slides, practice quizzes, demo problems, and flash cards. Providing as many items as possible without information overload is critical in accounting. I strive to provide extra help and encouragement to struggling students. Many times it's not the subject matter but a wealth of other problems the student is facing. I always try to be empathetic but fair. A good question is: "What would help me if I were the student?" I know and understand that sometimes life gets in the way of our best-laid plans. For a student to feel successful in an online class the student must feel included in the class activities. I never want students to feel an online class is a glorified independent study. I use a discussion forum for every chapter for students to ask questions regarding difficult topics and hopefully post answers to some of these questions. I send email messages to students that miss 2 tests in a row to see what the problem is with their lack of participation. Not always, but sometimes the phone call is all it takes to get the student back on track. Students need to know teachers had to once learn the discipline. I tell my students there is no mistake in accounting they will make I haven't made 100 times. Students need to see the human side of a teacher. Many times a teacher might be the only role model a student has. A teacher should consider this mentoring task a privilege to help guide and shape someone else. Part of a teacher's role is to build confidence and encourage students to reach further. I have community college graduates from my program that continued on to obtain a bachelor's degree and are now CPAs. I am most proud of my students that decide they want to continue their education and then come teach for me. On days when things haven't gone right in the class, I always tell myself, "This is the only time students have to learn about this topic. So don't give up and dismiss class early." We can't afford for students to miss a chance to learn something that might make a difference to them in the future.

I am currently an honors student at Appalachian State University pursuing a degree in Interior Design. I have always loved math! I have been tutoring middle school to high school aged students in math for six years and really enjoy doing it! I love getting to know my students, assessing which teaching style works best for them, and helping them become confident in math.

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 graduated from Wake Forest with a Masters of Science in Business Analytics. I graduated from App State with a Bachelor's of Science in Accounting. I have worked as a business analyst for four years. My best subjects are probably Excel, SQL, and R. I'm also quite proficient in SAS, Tableau, VBA, and general Business Analytics and Finance.

As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's degree in Physics from Appalachian State University, I have decades of experience in tutoring and classroom teaching, primarily focusing on physics and the physical sciences. My approach to tutoring is centered around building trusting relationships with students, which fosters an environment where they feel safe to ask questions and engage in intellectual risk-taking. I utilize strategies like multiple intelligences and graphic organizers to tailor my lessons to individual needs, ensuring that each student can grasp complex concepts at their own pace. My goal is to make physics accessible and enjoyable, transforming the common perception of the subject into a positive experience. I also enjoy astronomy and often incorporate real-world applications to spark curiosity. I look forward to helping students achieve their academic goals and develop a lifelong love for learning. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy spending time with my family. I'm also an avid fitness enthusiast, a kayak fisherman, and I work at a local hardware store where I stay active and engaged in my community.

Howdy! My name is Vivienne Taylor and I'm a recent graduate from Appalachian State University with a B.S. in Environmental Science. As I grow more in my role as a climate scientist and advocate I increasingly understand the vital power that knowledge can provide to youth. I would love to tutor you!!!
