Hi! I am entering my 7th year of teaching. I am a certified kindergarten through fifth grade teacher. I currently teach 4th grade and have also taught 1st and 2nd grades. In February of 2019, I was awarded Georgia Charter School Teacher of the Year. I am truly passionate about teaching and look forward to working with new students.

I hold a Ph.D in English from Fordham University in NYC and a valid secondary school teaching license. Plus, I have over 30 years of experience teaching and tutoring students: 26 at the university level and four at the high school level. My expertise spans a wide range of subjects, English Language (grammar, syntax, and all the 'fun" stuff) and composition (the act of written expression), reading for comprehension, literary analysis, Honors and AP English, Mythology, Debate and public speaking, creative writing (I'm even a published author), college application essays, university level research essays, and test preparation coaching for High School, University, and Grad level testing. I am passionate about creating a learning environment where I empower students to find their own unique voices and express their ideas with confidence. I specialize in breaking down assignments into easy-to-follow steps, and I utilize a variety of diverse teaching methods to tailor a tutoring session to what an individual student needs. I'm especially good with neurodivergent or non-traditional students--not only am I one myself, but both my kids are and I've adjusted my practices many times to better fit what a student needs in order to be successful in an academic setting that isn't one-size-fits-all. My goal is to inspire students to realize their own potential and to transform writing from a confusing or intimidating task into an enjoyable and rewarding experience. In all my years as a teacher, the one thing I missed most was the chance to talk one-on-one with a student and really listen to what they needed--tutoring lets me do just that! I'm excited to learn more about you and help you achieve success

I recently graduated from Fordham University with a bachelor of arts in economics and philosophy. While in college, I enrolled in a wide variety of courses and received an extensive interdisciplinary education. My experience at Fordham demonstrated firsthand the value education has in helping people understand difficult concepts and grasp the connections between ideas from different academic subjects. As a tutor, I strive to help students attain comprehension and learn how to approach subjects that may seem daunting at first. During my time as an undergraduate, I volunteered as a tutor for middle school students as part of a joint athletic and academic after school program. I am most passionate about helping people learn history, social sciences, and mathematics. I also assist with standardized test prep, primarily with the Reading and Writing sections of the exams. In my spare time, I enjoy photography, hiking and other outdoor activities, and reading about philosophy, evolutionary biology, and human history.

As a lifelong learner, I am excited to help students achieve their academic goals. With a background in Business Administration, I have developed a strong foundation in Mathematics. Additionally, I have experience with science courses at the middle and high school levels. I previously volunteered to tutor middle students in Math!

I am a graduate student at New Jersey Institute of Technology studying Biology. I went to Fordham University for undergrad. There, I majored in Biological Sciences. I'm excited to help students with a range of science topics.

I am currently an undergraduate student pursuing a Computer Science degree at Fordham University. This is my first year tutoring as my only real experience was helping classmates do their homework. However, when it comes with teaching others math, I've always held the belief that people need to learn each individual step in a mathematical problem. I believe this is something that can improve student's understanding in math. I also make sure students are engaged and have fun with learning math.

I am NYC based educator and director. During my time as an educator, I have worked with many different kinds of learners and adjusted my approach to meet the needs of the students. I have worked with students from the Bronx to Brooklyn to Minneapolis, with at risk youths, students with both learning and social disabilities and accelerated learners. I have a lot of experience working off of my students' creativity and energy. I am always responding to them and in the best moments learning alongside them.My greatest strength as an educator is meeting each of my students on their own terms seeing them as individuals with their own unique strengths and weaknesses.My work has always been centered around writing. My professional life has had me write for marketing campaigns and grant proposals. As well as being a produced playwright, I have worked with many writers to strengthen their own voice, develop structure and fine tune the nitty gritty practicals of the writing process. I have worked with novelists, essayists and poets to help them go deeper and to strengthen the mechanics of their writing.I am able to teach mechanics, vocabulary and grammar, all while helping lead the student through writing as a form of thinking and discovery. I will help any student who is working on essays, preparing for college admissions, wrestling with creative writing assignments, struggling with reading comprehension or preparing for a test.

I studied for a Bachelor of Arts in Classics at McGill University, with a minor concentration in History. I then received a Master of Arts in Latin Language & Literature from Fordham University and a Master of Philosophy in Classics & Ancient History from the University of Bristol. I have over 10 years of teaching experience, having taught at the university level and, most recently, at the middle school level. I have taught all levels of Latin, classical literature in translation, and test prep for middle schoolers. I have tutored students in Latin from ages 10 to 20, and can also tutor students in test prep and English. My style of tutoring is responsive to students' needs, and I believe in the value of practice and repetition. In my spare time, I enjoy curling and playing guitar.

I am a teacher passionate about motivating students and investing them in their education to meet their goals and succeed. I have a Masters of Science in Teaching Childhood Education and Special Education, and a background in Political Science and History. I was a teacher for two years in the New York City Department of Education, and over those two years I helped my students attain an average reading growth of 1.5 years/year for each student, and an average math level proficiency growth of 1.3 years/year per student. I have experience teaching students with a wide array of learning needs, and have experience motivating students to enjoy learning and feel inspired to achieve their goals.I look forward to supporting student learning as a tutor with Varsity Tutors.

As a student myself who has used tutoring resources many times, I know the need for good teachers to help students succeed, and I am passionate about giving back these lessons the same way I was able to receive them! I have taught students of many different ages from as little as 6 years old to as old as 16/17. I love teaching all ages in subjects such as reading and math, especially when it comes to the SATs. My philosophy is to never assume. I approach every student as a blank slate where I do not know about their prior knowledge, and as such, I make it a point to explain everything I teach thoroughly to ensure they have a strong foundation. With patience and understanding, I grow with my students to assist them in getting the most possible out of their education with me.

I have 2 math degrees, 7 years of teaching experience and 30 years of tutoring experience in math. I enjoy what I do and I help students enjoy the learning process as well. I help them build their confidence through a series of successes in solving progressively more challenging problems. I look forward to helping students be the best math students they can be.

I'm a 21-year-old Political Science/International Political Economy double major with a Communications & Culture minor at Fordham University. I'm a lifelong learner eager to share the spark of knowledge with everyone. I have been a volunteer educator since high school, teaching mathematics, geography, English, and history at grade schools in Chicago. Most recently, I worked as a senior health educator with the peer health exchange in high schools across New York City. I can't wait to keep the ball rolling with you!

I am a New York State Licensed Social Worker with over five years experience working with youth and young adults as a mentor, life coach and therapist.My hobbies include working out, playing sports, going to professional sporting events, cooking, and event planning.

I am a dedicated teacher from New York City currently located in Spain. I received my MST in Childhood General and Childhood Special Education. In addition to engaging in private tutoring, I have also worked in private schools in the Manhattan area.I encourage my students to develop their questioning skills and take control of their learning. My proudest moments as a teacher are when a child goes home and independently researches or reads about a topic because a lesson has piqued their curiosity. In addition, school content should be both challenging and applicable to the students experience outside the classroom. Delpit argues for this dual aspect of learning that is both relevant and challenging in her work Multiplication is for White People.

My name is Daniel Kearney, and I'm a recent college graduate living in New York City. My entire professional career has been spent working with youth. I love working with kids of all ages. Their ability to soak up information and improve is inspiring, and their energy makes work not feel like work. I believe that all students are capable of academic success and that sometimes all it takes is a novel approach. This is why it is important to understand the unique learning style of each student. I'm looking forward to getting to work at Varsity Tutors and helping students reach their full potential.

I have been teaching young students for two years, while in grad school at Columbia University, studying early childhood education. Before starting grad school, I went to Fordham University where I mentored and worked with young students in many different settings. Overall, I have been working with children for many years and look forward to tutoring, getting to know and learning from my future students!

I am a graduate of Fordham University with an honors finance degree. I work at Morgan Stanley in hedge funds and analyze fund portfolio exposure, risk, financing, and investor for my clients. I have a strong desire to learn and teach my knowledge to others. I have a foundation in teaching college students as a teaching assistant.

I am also proficient in investing and financial concepts through my work and degree.

I have enjoyed helping MSWs to successfully pass their licensing exams. My goal is to help you pass your LCSW exam so you can further your career. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am passionate about helping students build confidence in their academic abilities, especially when learning feels overwhelming. As someone with ADHD, a processing disorder, and testing anxiety, I understand the challenges many students face in the classroom. I also understand the growth that comes from developing effective strategies and learning how to adapt. I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, taking risks, and viewing mistakes as part of the learning process. I believe problem-solving is a critical life skill that extends beyond any single subject. My goal is not only to improve academic performance, but to help students recognize their own resilience, capability, and potential.

My love affair with language began in 8th grade when, as I read short stories, I saw how word-crafting could issue in what I call 3-D thinking. Good writing breathes sharp life into ideas, fosters synergy across them while creating new thought patterns for writer and reader. Throughout my 25 years of teaching and tutoring college students at an Ivy League university and at other local institutions guiding them through class essays, research projects, honors and masters theses, and graduate school personal statements--I always found joy in helping students discover what they wanted to sayand to express themselves coherently and persuasively. I hold a B.A. in English from Fordham University summa cum laude and in 1998 I earned a Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Pennsylvania. In the course of completing my doctoral project after a long pause from grad school to raise my son, I cultivated the ability, and empathy, to look at academic challenges resourcefully from both sides of the desk. Given that my research on Hamlet was highly interdisciplinary-- joyous and original--I have carried that intellectual exhilaration into all my work as a lecturer, writing specialist, tutor, academic advisor and administrator, always urging students to seek out more conceptual connections and to write as integratively as possible. Currently I am working part-time by choice, but my staunch resolve that the pen is mightier than the sword remains intact and never fails to excite me. I want to share my excitement, expertise, and love of writing with you--and am ready to motivate you and empower you, as I have done so for numerous students, to write your best thinking!

I am passionate about helping students because without a thorough education, I would not be the person I am today. Education was at first something handed down to me from figures of authority. The more I studied and applied myself, however, a feeling ownership and agency began to develop. Education was less something handed down to me, and more something which I owed that I could engage in at any time. I want to help students discover how fun and how immeasurably valuable education can be, not because an authority figure told them so, but because they know this in their own heart. So far I've tried to impart this idea to students at CitySquash in the Bronx, and Harlem RBI in Manhattan, two programs which blend tutoring instruction and homework help with sports. Tutoring sessions were one-on-one for one to two hours per week.I received my Bachelors in America Studies and in Communication and Media Studies from Fordham College Rose Hill in the Bronx. I'm saving money so that I can eventually enter a masters program in either Journalism, or History. I tutor the subjects of History (European, American, World - high school and AP level) and Language Arts (reading comp, writing, language and literature - high school and AP level). My favorite subject to tutor is American history. Bob Marley once said "A people without the knowledge of their past history and culture is like a tree without roots." As Americans (no matter when we arrived to this land) we need to understand thoroughly our history, so that we do not repeat the mistakes of the past. We must see historical trends so that we can anticipate the future. We must nurture and grow our tree, and to do so we must know our roots.My teaching philosophy revolves around the student learning to lead by himself or herself. Tutoring is temporary, and a student must learn to learn. Memorizing information is great for passing tests, but mastering methods of learning will help a student to succeed throughout his or her entire lifetime. So I try to show students how to learn more than just what to learn.Outside of academia, I love music - reggae music, jazz music, hip hop music, electronic music, all music. I also play the drums, and attend concerts whenever I have the time and money. I enjoy practicing yoga, taking hikes and exploring New York's Hudson Valley. I devour books and one day want to write my own.

I have enjoyed "teaching" since I was a little girl. Through the years, I have helped my nieces and nephews with their schoolwork, science projects... I have also homeschooled my daughter during Covid, and now she is way ahead in her studies. I love spelling, reading, writing, reading comprehension, math... I have edited and proofread many of my husband's novels that he has written. I have helped elementary, junior high, high school and college aged students with numerous projects, reports, homework. I love teaching others, and I absolutely love when we achieve the results we set out to conquer. I have a Bachelor's degree in Sociology with a concentration in Criminology because I wanted to be a lawyer. However, teaching was always my dream and passion. This job would help me achieve my goals of helping others with their schoolwork.

I love sharing my experiences and mentoring others. My varied background in corporate finance, banking and treasury management gives a great global view.

Hello! I am a college student at Fordham University. I am a History major with minors in Medieval Studies and Anthropology.

I am certified to teach ESL in New York State (K-12) and received my Masters in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) through Fordham University. As a NYC Public School teacher for 6 years, and as a private tutor in South Korea, I have experience instructing elementary, middle school, and high school students, as well as adults, to reach their academic goals. Additionally, I have taught test preparation for the SAT, PSAT, SHSAT, NYS ELA Regents, NYSESLAT exams, and more.I specialize in increasing the literacy skills of all learners through vocabulary building, step-by-step approaches and inquiry. I use direct teaching, video, audio, PowerPoints, and even props to demonstrate concepts. I am excellent at helping students to organize their ideas for essays and to deliver clear arguments to defend any position. If you are looking to create and edit an essay (college application, English essay, science report, etc.), to make an oral presentation, or if you just need some useful writing advice, I will be happy to assist you in reaching your goals!

I am a recent graduate of Fordham University, with a B.A. in Music and Philosophy. I have taken coursework in and have a great passion for all areas of learning, particularly in Humanities. As a Tutor, I have guided students through difficult texts and aided them with essay writing for three years. I have also tutored voluntarily, working with underprivileged youth, in SAT and college preparation. I am passionate about culture and the Arts; hence I teach a broad range of subjects, from Religious Studies to Music Theory. As my majors suggest, I am particularly strong with Philosophy and Music. What I love most of all, is learning new subjects for and with my students. My teaching style is dynamic. It's tailored to each student and subject. I work at whatever pace best suits them. I relate subject material to the student’s other interests to best engage him or her. The only things I keep the same for every student are the values I encourage: thoroughness and patience with regard to work ethic, curiosity and appreciation with regard to the material. Outside of tutoring, I like to listen to and compose music, read and write literature, play video games, and follow contemporary politics.

I started my career in nonprofit advocating for tort reform in the health care space, the right to prescribe for first responders, and health care reform for New Jersey State residents in 2010. A few years after that I graduated college and started a career in government with the Office of the Mayor of New York City. Here I demonstrated data driven change by working with the Office of Management and Budget to fine-tune procurement processes and spending for various programs. The following year, a position was offered to me by the New York City Police Department, to work for the Deputy Commissioner of Management and Budget. This soon turned into a position with the Police Commissioner's Office, working on neighborhood policing policy citywide. I have helped hundreds of people gain access to housing, jobs, hygiene, criminal justice reform, and affordable health care. In 2016 I was appointed by the Governor of New York State to be a local board member on the Selective Service Board in my neighborhood. By now I had traveled to China, Italy, Spain, England, the Caribbean, Canada, Mexico, and Germany, not to mention I had picked up two languages, becoming conversational in Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. Certainly, a lot has happened since I graduated college in 2013. Nevertheless, I feel like I'm only getting started.

I graduated from Georgetown University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Government and from Fordham University School of Law with a Juris Doctor degree. I have ten years of experience as a volunteer and private tutor to high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. I have tutored a variety of subjects ranging from math and science to standardized testing, but I especially enjoy tutoring in the areas of English, literature, and writing.I believe in creating a specialized tutoring plan to address the particular needs of my student. My emphasis is on creative (and hopefully fun) learning techniques that engage my student and help him or her confront problem-solving in a way that best suits his or her learning style.When I am not tutoring, I enjoy reading fiction, going to the movies, and spending time with my friends and family in the sunshine.

Hello, my name is Dilan, and I am an Economics student at Fordham University. I am a dedicated tutor who enjoys helping students build confidence and achieve their academic goals. I specialize on building elementary and middle school math skills to help them build their foundation for a high school career. I want to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students are able to ask questions and see academic progress. I am excited to get to know my students and help them reach their full potential with math.

I am a sophomore in college who enjoys learning and teaching! I am majoring in French and Art History, I also have a minor in psychology. I love to run and read when I am not studying or tutoring.

I am an attorney. I have tutored children for many years as I am an avid learner. Two of my own children have some learning issues and I have worked with them to achieve success. This gave me the ability to tutor other children as I have seen what works with students and what does not work. The key to academic success is confidence. Without confidence there can be no progress.I give each child the tools that they need to boost their confidence and achieve success academically

I believe that anyone can learn and obtain knowledge, when given the proper tools to succeed.

I have experience tutoring students of all ages ranging from elementary to high school in various different subject areas including Grammar, Writing, Essay Editing, and Elementary to Pre-Calculus Math.
