Hello! My name is Sierra Grim. I am originally from the Land of Enchantment aka New Mexico but migrated to Wisconsin where I completed my Master's Degree in Nutritional Sciences just this past Spring. I have lived in Germany for 9 months working as a US Fulbright Research Scholar. I have been known for my fun personality and excitement to learn new information and am passionate to help students like yourself master these difficult concepts! I am looking forward to working with you soon!

Currently, I am a Research Technician at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM. I have tutored as an undergraduate student, and I have been the lead TA for General Chemistry courses at UC Berkeley. Chemistry is one of my passions, and I would love to share my experience!

Hi !! I have several degrees in Mathematics: a PhD, an MS, an MA, and a BS with a concentration in Computer Science. But don't let that scare you away! I've been a professor since a very young age, and have taught many university math and statistics courses since I was twenty. I have also tutored students in remedial classes and those from the highest-ranked high school in the US. My tutoring and teaching style adapts to the students. I try to focus on the student needs, and remind them often that I am their employee, and thus I work for them. I like student feedback. I also prefer to teach/tutor math/stats/etc. with humor. I feel that it's pointless to force someone to learn who is not in the right mindset, so I am rather lenient with my cancellation policy. I tutor Algebra, Trig, Geometry, Calc I,II,III, Probability, Statistics, Combinatorics, Operations Research, Programming in R, ACT, SAT, LCAT, GRE, and will try to help in any way.

Embarking on a journey that intertwined my love for learning and passion for community service, I discovered the transformative power of education. From group homes to the heart of a Dyslexia program, the evolution wasn't without its trials, yet teaching children from K-12, especially those with disabilities, allowed me to be a better teacher meeting students needs to become advocates of their own learning.

Myrtle is a veteran teacher who spent many years teaching students of all ages to learn, read and write. She taught reading in a computer reading lab for ten years. Her research interest is students who are challenged learners. She has presented her research at various conferences including the Oxford Round Table in Oxford, England and to Ambassadors of the 2007 World Forum, which was held in Washington D.C. Two of her publications, Reading as a Struggle: Challenged Readers Making Meaning from Text (2009), and Reading Pedagogy: The Foundation and Cornerstone for the Expansion of Literacy (2007), cast a framework for teaching students who are challenged by texts.

Teaching really is my passion!

I am a graduate of New Mexico State University, with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. My studies there included extensive physics and computer science coursework as well.While in college, I tutored many fellow students, which is how I got my start with tutoring. Since then I have tutored all ages of students, both in-person and online, in many math, science, and computer coding subjects. My tutoring style is interactive. For any student whom I teach, the goal is always that the student is able to work the problems and explain the steps. As professors of mine said when I was in school, "Math is not a spectator sport", and "You can't do physics without a calculator in your hand". When I teach, the student does as much of the work as he or she can; if stuck on something I will provide hints as needed, and I will only take over and complete a problem as a last resort.My personal learning style emphasizes understanding over repetition, although I am very aware that this is not true for everyone - many students require substantial repetition in order to gain confidence and mastery.Most of my spare time recently has been directed towards the development of a mathematically-oriented computer game, which I hope to publish within a year or two. In addition to game development, I also enjoy hiking, biking, camping, and playing chess.

I am a graduate of New Mexico State University. I received my PhD Degree with a focus on Engineering and Math. Since graduation, I have traveled extensively, tutoring students of different ages and different academic levels looking to improve their Engineering and Math knowledge.. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Engineering, Calculus, Trigonometry, Geometry, Linear Algebra and Algebra. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) prepping for the Critical math and science portions of the exams. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, yoga, running, and tennis.

I have always enjoyed helping others learn. Some of my earliest memories are helping my friends with something I already knew, and the amazing feeling I got when I saw they had learned it. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Language at New Mexico State University, where I studied linguistics and Spanish. Once I graduated I moved to Dallas, where I started teaching bilingual elementary school. I also went back to college myself, and got my Masters of Educational Administration from the University of North Texas. As a teacher, I have worked with children in grades 2 through 6, in all subject levels, who are both bilingual English/Spanish and monolingual English speakers. I also taught ESL classes for adults through an Adult Basic Education program. As a teacher I have provided small group and individual tutoring in reading, writing, and math, and I have also tutored my classmates in my college classes when they asked as a favor. I absolutely love reading, and I love teaching reading so I can pass that passion on to my students. I also love working with older students who are improving their reading, because I thoroughly enjoy discussing literature with others. It is satisfying to dig through a text and find every hidden gem, and it is even better to do that with someone who is feeling that joy for the first time themselves. When preparing for standardized testing, I like to play games with the content and find ways to make it as fun as possible. I genuinely believe that education is one of the most important things in life, providing humanity the driving force to improve and solve problems. I am incredibly proud that I am a part of this process, and that my students will grow to pass on their own knowledge to others in a never-ending chain. In my spare time, I enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy novels, cooking, playing games (both board games and video games), and modifying my car.

I have been a Spanish teacher since 2008 and I am passionate about helping students achieve their goals in the Spanish language. I have a BA in Spanish Studies from the University of Minnesota and an MA in Spanish from New Mexico State University. I am also an AP Spanish Language and Culture exam rater for College Board and have a lot of experience in getting my students to succeed in their AP Exams. Finally, I have tutored others to be successful on the Spanish Praxis exam and I am excited to work with you and help you become more proficient in Spanish.When I'm not tutoring or teaching I love to travel, read, go to the movies, and play with my dogs!

As a dedicated educator and passionate advocate for academic growth, I find immense fulfillment in guiding students toward their goals and helping them unlock their full potential. Throughout my academic journey and diverse experiences, I have honed the skills and qualities necessary to be an effective tutor. My journey as a Master of Chemistry student at New Mexico State University has not only equipped me with a strong foundation in my field but has also instilled in me the importance of clear, concise, and engaging teaching methods. As evidenced by my role as a Chemistry Basics Teaching Assistant and an Analytical/Organic Chemistry Lab Facilitator, I have successfully translated complex concepts into understandable and relatable content, fostering a supportive learning environment. Beyond the classroom, my involvement in leadership roles within the NMSU Triathlon Club and church ministry has developed my interpersonal and communication skills. These experiences have enabled me to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds and effectively convey ideas, values, and knowledge. My work as a Computational Chemist Research Assistant further underscores my adaptability and problem-solving capabilities. I've innovatively approached challenges, such as modeling membrane dynamics, and have consistently sought new perspectives to drive scientific discovery. My wide-ranging interests, including running, podcasts, literature, and teaching, reflect a well-rounded individual who can relate to students' multifaceted lives and interests. I am committed to creating a positive and engaging learning experience that empowers students to excel academically and personally. In my role as a tutor, I am eager to leverage my academic expertise, teaching skills, and passion for education to inspire and support students on their unique educational journeys. I am dedicated to fostering an environment where every student can thrive and achieve their goals. Together, we can embark on a transformative learning experience that opens doors to new opportunities and a brighter future.

Like an apple tree produces apples, I teach.The best teachers are life-long students. My best teachers were humble and tenacious. Unafraid to be wrong, they questioned everything. They made a point of acknowledging the natural learning curve of their students, regardless of experience or subject matter. Aspiring to this, I am as transparent with my students as possible. I guide them to "question everything," even me. I highlight as much my own questions as answers, encouraging them to do the same, in hopes to demonstrate that the latter cannot exist without the former, and that each holds equal value. I select readings and design assignments that will resonate with my students current lives; to really learn, after all, we first must be interested. Student buy-in is imperative, and there are many, many ways to learn the necessary skills to succeed in our age of innovation. Typically these skills boil down to the four Cs--critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creative problem solving.The best teaching is relevant, and endures. My students are challenged to learn about themselves and their responsibilities; it is not just the content, but how the student succeeded or struggled, and what they took away, that matters. In brief, this learning-by-doing mimics lifepreparing students to assess and make decisions based on what type of person they want to be, regardless of the their interests or intellect. Like my best teachers before me, I am continually learning alongside my students, so we enter the wide world together, each with better answers and bigger questions.

Hello! My name is Francisco J Ronquillo. I was born in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, but was raised along the border in southern New Mexico; therefore, I am blessed to be bilingual and bicultural.

Everyone has a particular learning style and method by which retaining information becomes effortless. Finding that gem is the key- and this is where having a tutor can really help you excel. Often students do not have as much difficulty understanding a topic, if only it is presented in a manner they personally can digest.I believe that we all have the potential to do great things, in our studies, our personal lives, and in the lives of others- we just have to take that initiative. Taking the initiative to seek a tutor to assist in your educational goals requires dedication and courage. As a physician who has had extensive educational experience, I am very passionate about learning, teaching, and helping others.I look forward to helping you grow, unlock your full potential and surpass your goals!A little information about myself- Native to Seattle, WA but have lived and traveled all over- Received undergraduate degree in Biology with minor in Spanish and Biochemistry- Completed medical school and pediatric residency- Currently am undergoing specialized fellowship training in Pediatric Emergency Medicine- Interests in teaching/education, hiking, dancing, and trying new things (including food).

My passion for helping students stems from my love of the sciences and the amazing teachers that helped me a long the way. I currently teach Middle School Science, but I also have prior experience with pre-school age students and university students. While at university working on my bachelors degree in geography and natural resource environmental science I taught after school pre-school programs and then was a peer instructor for Kansas State University where I taught study skills, time management, and academic success strategies. Later after completing my Masters of Science degree in Wildlife Science at New Mexico State University I taught at Dona Ana Community College as an adjunct instructor. It is not just my education though that sets me apart but my career as a biologist, researcher, and project manager that gives me real life experience, helping me to relate diefficult science and academic concepts to all learners. I returned to my passion for teaching where I now teach middle school science full time. I absolutely love working with all age students. I tutor general science for elementary and middle school age students, study skills, and other disciplines as listed on my profile.

I graduated from New Mexico State University with a Bachelors Of Science in Computer Science. I tutored while I was a student at New Mexico State University. I believe students want to become confident,independent learners prepared to meet all academic and perfessional challenges. I always like to bring the big picture and why to topics, I feel the underling why is a big motivator. I feel privileged to help people become the movers and game changers of the future. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter. I listen to music a lot. Program in Python when I can.

I am a 4th Grade teacher in Columbus, OH. I have been a teacher for 8 years and have also taught 6th Grade Social Studies. I have lived in Ohio for 2 years, having lived in New Mexico my whole life. I am very interested in history and geography so moving to an area with such rich history is a treat for me! I am spending my free time making trips to new historic sites and museums.I truly believe every child can and will learn. It is my job as the educator to find out the best way that student learns and then capitalize on it. I believe in teaching using the 4 modalities of learning to help each student find the way they can be successful.I look forward to meeting you and your child!

I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Biology with High Honors from New Mexico State University. Before that, I graduated from high school with a class rank of 3 out of 656 students. I have always been a strong student who loves to learn and help others learn. I have been tutoring my peers, siblings, and neighbors my whole life. My tutoring style is very adaptable; I change it based on each individual's specific needs. I like to get to know everyone and use metaphors about things they enjoy to help relate subjects to them. I am pretty versatile in all subjects, but prefer tutoring in the science and math realm.

I am currently working on a graduate degree in Chinese history from the University of British Columbia. Prior to this, I have worked as a test prep instructor in Korea and China with The Princeton Review and as an ESL teacher at New Mexico State University. As a test prep instructor, I taught SAT, SSAT, TOEFL, and GRE. Test Prep, as I have come to experience it does not mean the memorizing of 10,000 things. It is understanding that standardized tests are logic games, that they test nothing outside what you have already learned in school. The rub comes from the presentation, that standardized tests are designed as puzzles. There are rules and operating procedures to be followed, and if those rules and operating procedures are followed, you can improve your scores. This all boils down down to what the student wants from the test and the following school experience. As such, I strive for an individualized session that is molded to your needs and interests. And really, this is what I believe education is all about, finding a dialogical space for individual and outside world so that both can grow.

Hello, my name is Alan, and I would love to help you in any areas in which I have expertise. I am adept at most any type of math and most any type of language. I do enjoy math, yet I love to read literature and to write.Learning is best when it is fun, and when it is adapted to the learner at hand. I am always interested in hearing what the learner is thinking because I think a lot can be learned from listening to how an individual is arriving at a given perspective.I taught for several years through an organization called Teach For America, and I later earned my master's in education from Harvard University. I was even able to earn a Teacher of the Year award for my school, my city, and then my county. But a lot more important than awards or degrees is that I genuinely have a good time working with students of all ages. Learning itself is fun, and there is often a lot of humor and reward along the way as well!If you think I might be of help to you, I look forward to hearing from you.

I was introduced to VT by a friend. I love interacting with students and share my knowledge with them, watch them learn subjects and succeed. I enjoy the results that we get out of our shared effort.

As an educator with over 20 years of experience, I am committed to nurturing independent learners and fostering a love for language. My teaching journey has taken me to diverse environments in South Korea, Mexico, Oman, and Japan, where I have taught students of all ages, from young children to corporate professionals. I specialize in English for different purposes, such as: for specific purposes, including business and academic English (for school). I thrive on creating engaging, student-centered lessons that resonate with individual interests. My teaching philosophy prioritizes student talk time, encouraging learners to express their thoughts while enhancing their language skills and confidence. I am particularly excited about the opportunity to inspire new students at Varsity Tutors and to continue my own journey of lifelong learning alongside them.

Over the years, I have tutored many students in math and science. I have learned how to make a sometimes complex subject into something fun & simple.Since I made the decision to learn the math, I have excelled in the subject ever since. This resulted in my peers and family asking me for help in math & science for over 25 years. During my undergraduate studies, I made A's in all my mathematics courses and was invited to join the Math Honor Society.I enjoy helping others understand math and science, whether it's simple mathematics like addition and subtraction or more complex subjects like calculus and physics. I have helped a number of students who were struggling in math & science succeed in these areas to drastically improve their grades.My schedule is pretty flexible and I look forward to meeting with you.

I love working with children. This passion began when my siblings and I would "play school" with our green Disney chalkboard. We would take turns being the "teacher", and I delighted in the feel of chalk in my hands. Upon graduating from New Mexico State University with a degree in elementary education, I became a fifth grade teacher with Las Cruces Public Schools. Again, I enjoyed the powdery feel of chalk in my hands, but this time, I wasn't playing. I took my responsibilities very seriously and with great joy. As life took me to other school districts and different grade levels, time replaced chalk with dry erase markers and district-developed instructional goals with common core standards. However, my love of working with elementary-age children has never been superseded. In reflecting on those years, I bring these research-based practices to the tutoring platform: --Parents are a child's first and most important teacher; communication with parents is vital to a successful elementary tutoring plan, --Working towards mastery in mathematics leads towards a student's confidence and independence in mathematics, --Incorporating a child's interests into the curriculum is more likely to help students develop proficiency than one that does not, --Instruction in handwriting should remain in the curriculum due to its association with fine/gross motor development, gains in reading and writing, and memory benefits, --Developmental ages and stages must be taken into account when planning and carrying out a tutoring session. For example, an off-task student may need a "wiggle break" or review of how to carry out an assignment before they can return to task, --Shaming is never an acceptable form of discipline. Teacher preparedness and pacing of instructional delivery have a huge impact on student behavior, --Horse, then cart: Establishing a student's base of information must precede hands-on mathematics and science for maximum retention of concepts, and --Training in HOW to test is likely to result in a reduction of test anxiety and higher test scores.
