I have been working with children for over 10 years. I began babysitting a family friend when I was just 15 years old and my experience since then has certainly evolved. I have worked with elementary age students in grades preK-3 through 8 as an environmental educator, literacy & math tutor, science instructor, and summer camp director. I hold my 013 Elementary Educator certificate in the state of Connecticut. I am first aid certified including CPR and medication administration. I also hold my mandated reporter, Title XI and blood borne pathogens certificates. I am creative, compassionate, and certain that I will provide a fun, safe, and secure learning environment for your child(ren).

My name is Andrew and I am currently working with Varsity Tutors while I finish my Ph.D. in Education at the University of Virginia. I have taught, tutored, and coached for over a decade in more than 30 countries. I was also a Division 1 athlete throughout college, managed an NGO in China, and mentored several students in both academic and non-academic areas since 2012, so I am familiar with the challenges of trying to balance several pursuits simultaneously. I look forward to talking!

Education has been a passion of mine for quite some time. During college, I worked with Upward Bound – an incredible federal program that tutors and mentors high schoolers aspiring to be first generation college students. During my career, I’ve mentored students through several programs in the Greater New York Area. Whether it is as a tutor, coach or mentor – students have always been a part of my life as a professional and volunteer.My educational background is a BA in Political Psychology from Claremont McKenna College and an MA in Communications from Fairfield University. Written and verbal communication is a great strength of mine as both an academic and professional – English, History, the Social Sciences, etc. With that being said, I have worked with students of all ages on a variety of subjects. To me, mastery of a subject is a great accomplishment, but the greater goal should always be refining your broader skills as a student and scholar. These are the overarching characteristics that allow an individual to be adaptable and flourish in a variety of academic and professional environments. In my spare time, I like to stay active, travel and enjoy the outdoors.

"Mathematics is the language in which God wrote the Universe." Knowing how to use mathematics to solve problems is very important. I want to help students learn the mathematics they need to successfully solve the problems they encounter in their math courses and in life.

Teaching, travel, and culture have become a great love and ambition of mine after completing my TEFL teacher training in Paris, France in October 2011. Since, then I have taught private students and at schools both in New York City and in France, focusing on general English, ESL, and various standardized tests (TOEFL, IELTS, SAT/ACT),In addition to my teacher training, I am a writer, actor and performer, possessing excellent skills in communication and being in front of small or large groups of people. I have a burgeoning writing career, writing for various websites and working on a blog and novel.I achieve amazing satisfaction from inspiring others to learn and communicate. Overall, I enjoy the creative elements of teaching and using the student's interests to drive a passion and desire to learn. Amidst my minimal travels across the globe thus far, I have learned that education is the key to understanding and appreciating each other.

When it comes to learning, there is no attribute more valued than passion. My teaching philosophy revolves around the core idea that the student should be the one to find the answers they need. Rote memorization, reciting, and hurling out facts without context will always place second to a true desire to learn when it comes to succeeding in academics. Not only should the tutor and the student aim to understand a subject, they should also try to develop a love for it.

I strive for my students to be their best and will always push to enhance their learning. Language can be hard, but not with the right plan and the right tutor.

Hi there! I'm originally from the Boston area (Go Pats!), lived in California for a few years, and now love life in Detroit.I would love to team up with you to help you feel confident and excited about your academic endeavors.I earned a B.A. in Politics from Fairfield University in Connecticut, and have years of writing experience. Most recently, I helped write Requests For Proposals in the corporate world, and before that I relished writing the news for a news radio and TV show.Excited to work with you and get going!

As an educator, I have always worked to teach my students principles and skills that can apply in many situations, both in the classroom and in their everyday lives. I live and work based on principles as well, and they are relatively simple. First and foremost: all students can learn. Some will struggle in some areas, but struggling does not indicate inability. I have personally worked with students who have been described as unable to function in a classroom, or incapable of meeting high expectations, and I have watched those students grow immensely when given the opportunity. The impact of a caring, positive environment of people who believe in a student cannot be overstated.One of my seventh graders, who had not grown at all as a reader after a year in a classroom setting, attended a small group summer program that I facilitated. Her teachers had become concerned that she may simply be stuck at her 3rd grade reading level. However, in a focused, small group setting, with appropriate support, she made 5 months of progress in two weeks. I could give numerous examples, but they all come back to the same point: all students can learn.My second principle relates to the first: high expectations and proper support are a pathway to success. High expectations are an educator's way of saying, "I believe in you" to their students. Throughout my career, when I have challenged my students, they have risen to meet it and walked away from the experience glowing with pride. I have directed middle school students performing Shakespeare and watched them go above and beyond to create a beautiful production. I have confronted a reading group with a book two years above their reading levels and seen them respond by growing rapidly as readers. When we expect greatness from our students, and support them on their path, we can see success that goes far beyond our initial impressions of their capabilities.

I started my journey while in high school, I took my first anatomy and physiology class and discovered that I wanted a career that would allow me to work with the human body. I was mostly interested in dentistry and orthodontics until I hurt my back in an offseason football workout. After I went to my Chiropractor I realized the importance of the structure of the spine and the function of the central nervous system. While in college I was named captain of our rugby team and enjoyed helping other learn and work together. I was a teacher assistant for an anatomy and physiology class during my time at Fairfield University. I continued my passion of helping others while at Palmer College of Chiropractic where I tutored the first quarter students in general anatomy where I aided them in understanding the anatomy with the use of cadavers. A short while later I was named the president of a chiropractic technique club called: Gonstead Technique. I plan on using my experience and knowledge to help others reach their goals and full potential.

My background is in Physics and Mathematics and I have many years of experience in the education field. I have a B.S. in Physics, and I am working both towards a Masters of Mathematics and a Teaching Certification, which I plan to complete within a years time. I have tutored students from ages 12 to 60 in math (elementary through Algebra, Geometry, Calculus and Graduate Business Statistics), Physics, Biology, Social Studies, Reading, and even Philosophy. I have worked with children and adults as an educator for almost a decade.

My name is Francis Nguyen. I am married and have three beautiful daughters. I graduated with a Bachelor in Math Education in 2000 and a Masters in Math in 2003 from Fairfield University. I have been teaching high school for over 20 years. The subjects I have taught ranged from elementary math to Trigonometry. I love to help children learn math and succeed in math.

I love teaching! Even in the craziness of the pandemic, I am astounded at the resilience of my students and the flexibility of my colleagues. I would not want to repeat the past 18 months, but what I have taken away from it is knowing that I can make lessons engaging and entertaining, that games are a great way to teach and review content, and that building relationships with my students must be a top priority.I am a graduate of Fairfield University, where I majored in History and Education. I have a Masters' degree from the University of Connecticut in Educational Technology. I have been teaching 8th grade U.S. History for 17 years. Specifically, the time period I know the most about is early American history from the creation of the 13 Colonies to the Reconstruction Era.I also teach literacy skills throughout my curriculum, with a focus on reading comprehension, text analysis, and informational and argument writing. Clear communication skills - both verbal and written - are 21st century skills that all students can be successful with. Some students may just need a different approach, more time, or some extra practice to get there.

Beginning in September 2013, I returned to teaching at the College of Staten Island, where I successfully taught two sections of English 111. Prior to that, I had embarked on a career change as an attorney in 2001. I remain a barred attorney in the State of Connecticut, and while passionate about the law, my true calling is as an academic and teacher.My experience includes eight years of teaching Freshman Composition and Upper Division courses at Ohio State University and Capital University. While at OSU, I was selected as a teaching assistant for graduate level theory courses as well.I have participated in the School for Criticism and Theory at Dartmouth, and, generally, I have very strong teaching recommendations. A number of my students from this semester asked if I were available to teach English 152 following its precursor, English 111.Currently, I am teaching a section of World Literature: The Evolving Canon at CUNY (Brooklyn).I would be happy to share student essays and feedback upon request.

I am currently a fourth grade teacher in Harlem. I live in Astoria, Queens. I have been teaching for five years and I am very passionate about teaching. I have taught math, reading, writing, science and social studies at the elementary level and am certified to teach special education as well.

During my years as a student, I had a hard time remembering concepts and terms. I had a near perfect attendance record, but still struggled with performing well on tests. I thought to myself, why was this happening?Students have so much pressure to perform well on standardized tests. We cram with flashcards, pull all nighters, and even sacrifice our social time to prove to the world that we retained what we learned that year.But are we *actually* learning? My goal as a tutor is to make your studies enjoyable. I love to use visual and real world examples to help you grasp difficult concepts. At the end of our sessions, it is my mission to make sure that you can not only solve sample problems, but actually understand your coursework on a deeper level!

I try to look at everything I do from every possible angle, every possible situation and every circumstance. I'm very open minded and my only goal is to challenge you why do you think the way you do. What is at the core of that ?

I am a dedicated, student-focused teaching professional with a passion for motivating students to learn and achieve goals. I specialize in K College Level Math, HESI Math/English, TEAS Math/English, GED Math, Math SAT/Regents Prep, as well as Nursing Medication Dosage Math.

I am a second year medical student in the new MD program at Nova Southeastern University. I began tutoring students on a volunteer basis when I was in high school and was employed by a tutoring agency while in college. I have experience working with students in Math, Sciences (Biology & Chemistry), and Spanish and have experience tutoring students in Elementary, Middle, and High School as well as college. I also have experience with SAT and ACT prep as I obtained high scores on those standardized tests as well as the MCAT (medical school admissions exams).My goal is to help your student succeed. I like to help students move from a point where they need lessons and reteaching provided to a point where they become Masters of their own learning. Not only do I want students who work with me to gain competency in content, but I enjoy helping them learn how to identify areas of strength and weakness academically, ask good questions, and develop successful study habits which will help them do well in the future and excel in more than the topics I am tutoring them in. I hope to make the lessons fun and engaging, especially for students who are struggling so they have the motivation they need to succeed in school.I look forward to meeting you and working towards your goal of academic success together. Whether you want to catch up if you are falling behind, get ahead on a difficult topic, boost your scores on an exam, or learn something new just for fun, I am here to help you learn!Happy TutoringBrianna

I recently obtained my master's degree in American Studies and Education. These degrees have helped me to think critically about history and current events. I am excited to help students connect their classroom information with the world that they live in now. I love helping students learn how to express themselves through writing and speech, and I am most passionate about guiding students to engage with their classes in ways that make them successful.

Hello! My name is Anya, I'm so happy that you are considering me to be your tutor. The experience that makes me qualified to be your tutor is best exemplified in my resume, but like anyone else there is so much more to me than what you can see on a piece of paper. Besides having a lot of experience tutoring and being qualified educationally; I am also a funny, outgoing, goodhearted and friendly person. I love to build personal relationships with my clients, which makes me unique in that each tutoring session is structured around the individual needs of my student. However, although I am friendly and fun I also am fairly strict and rigorous in my tutoring style- (my mom always told me that one day I would appreciate how strict she was with my schoolwork- I guess today's that day haha). I am so excited to get to know you and to help your child reach his/her dreams and goals!

Adaptable educator versed in collaborating with parents and students to best meet each individual's unique needs. Attentive to the physical, emotional and social needs of each student.

Having taught in a variety of settings and worked with diverse populations such as incarcerated inmates, international adults and ivy league undergraduates, I have come to understand first hand that every student learns in his or her own unique way. My approach as a tutor is to listen carefully to the student and to try and understand where he or she is coming from. It is through this student-centered learning that I encourage the student to express themselves and to find meaning in the work. My background in English writing and education, and first hand as an undergraduate professor of Critical Writing, allows me to push my students to work hard on the subject at hand. I believe that all students are capable of writing well and performing well on the SAT, and my job is to coach and steer the student in the right direction.
