I'm passionate about helping students build confidence and skills in writing, analysis, and interpretation, especially in social studies. With two years of tutoring experience, I focus on breaking down complex material into simpler chunks and making content interesting and relevant for students. I believe every student can succeed with support and encouragement that is tailored to their needs.

I am a December 2022 graduate candidate studying Biology with a pre-medical track at Providence College. I am passionate about helping students learn science in a fun and unintimidating way. I want students to understand that just because a certain topic has the stigma of begin hard does not mean it cannot be fun or attainable. I am most passionate about teaching math, especially algebra. This is subject that can be confusing but once it is made fun and systemic we can make it a breeze for you. In the future I hope to become a physician for the pediatric population.
I've been in the field of education for fifteen years. In that time I've worked with students from all walks of life, and from all over the world. I've taught/tutored on a wide range of subjects, including SAT/ACT/GED/AP/SSAT Prep. In addition, I have taught college Composition, AP English Language and Composition, Creative Writing, grammar, and reading.My main purpose in becoming a tutor is help students achieve their goals, both academic and otherwise.
I am a retired corporate instructor and for the past ten years a professor at New York University (NYU). Education has been a lifelong passion which I pursue, in part, by tutoring individual students from late middle school through college. I'm married and have three grown children and a couple of very special grandchildren.
I have over 2 years of experience teaching. Most of my experience was teaching abroad in Mexico and South Korea. I love working with people from different backgrounds and cultures. I currently work as a Learning & Development Specialist, so I am always looking for new ways to help people learn. My greatest strengths when it comes to tutoring are that I have a unique perspective; I love to think outside the box and find new ways to help students of different backgrounds and learning styles learn! I am also very passionate about learning and helping others learn. I often focus on enrichment in my tutor sessions, by boosting the confidence of my students and motivating them to do well.
I am a graduate of Providence College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. Upon graduation, I worked in hospital administration until beginning my pursuit of a Master of Science in Medical Science through the Drexel University College of Medicine. I have been tutoring middle school, high school and college students in Chicago through Varsity Tutors since November 2014. My own passion for math and science and my academic history of them has resulted in a focus in tutoring within these subjects. Of these, my favorite topics to tutor are Algebra and Chemistry, as they both have discernible patterns within the material which leads to a better understanding as one builds new topics on previous ones. I have found that students have the most success in first reviewing basic concepts to assess and address where they are having difficulty, followed by continuous problem-solving to reinforce the concepts and strategies until they become second nature. Like the subjects that I teach, I believe that education is an ongoing and ever-growing component that is necessary for a happy and fulfilling life, and that there is always something new to learn each and every day. In my spare time, I like to exercise, volunteer, play basketball, go snowboarding, watch sports (mainly football and soccer) or play video games.
I am a Middle School Language Arts and Social Studies teacher. I specialize as a writing tutor for middle and high school students, with experience tutoring all subjects for elementary and middle school students. I graduated from Providence College in Providence Rhode Island, where I earned my B.A. in History and Education while playing four years of college rugby.After graduating from Providence, I took my first teaching job in Austin Texas.I have spent the past two years completing my M.Ed in Secondary Education from the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.I first began tutoring elementary students when I was in High School, and quickly learned that I loved both teaching and working with children. Over the course of my time in High School I tutored and coached various subjects and sports. In college, I tutored extensively, focusing on individualized writing instruction, college essays, and middle school reading and math skills.In addition to my work as a teacher and a coach, I love to play sports, enjoy a new book, and cook!
I take pride in helping students reach their academic goals and build confidence in their abilities. With a strong background in communication and a genuine love for teaching, I create a supportive and engaging learning environment tailored to each student's unique needs.
In 2009 I graduated summa cum laude from Providence College with a Bachelor of Arts in history and secondary education. I am certified by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to teach history for grades 7 through 12. For the last three years I have been employed at the United Teen Equality Center, a non-profit organization in Lowell, Massachusetts that provides services, opportunities, and supports for 'at-risk' and 'proven risk' youth between the ages of 16 and 24. While working in UTEC's educational wing, I have taught high school history classes in partnership with Lowell Public Schools and served as the organization's main adult education instructor for youth enrolled in the workforce development program. I've also developed curricula across five different content areas. When I'm not teaching, I read, write, and support the mighty Arsenal in their latest Premier and Champions' League campaigns.
My goal is tutoring is to help my students be the best learner that they can be. I am willing to help a student reach higher grades, but more important to me than the grade is that the student is actually getting something out of what we are doing, and truly learning, not just retaining information, but engaging with the material and enjoying what they are learning. I firmly believe that hard work pays off, and with the right encouragement and help, a student can achieve anything they set their mind to. You're never to old to learn something new, and the doorways opened by education are endless.
Hello, my name is Michelle! I am a former elementary and middle-school teacher and am now looking to use my teaching knowledge and experience to tutor. I received my bachelor's degree in Science-Business from the University of Notre Dame and my master's degree in Secondary Education from Providence College. I taught 5-8th grade math for two years and 5th grade math, English/Language Arts, Reading, and Religion for 1 year. I am no longer teaching because I am back in school myself, but would love to use my experience as an educator to tutor you or your child!
I am a caring, passionate, and innnovative English language arts and writing teacher who is ready to help children with any and all of their verbal, reading, grammar, or writing needs. I am a graduate of Providence College, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English, taking many pre- and post-1800 English courses, including Victorian (19th c.) literature, Shakespeare's Tragedies and Romances, and a survey course on Geoffrey Chaucer and his contemporaries. I also took many elective courses in creative writing and theatre outside of my major requirements, such as: Theatre Appreciation, Public Speaking, Oral Interpretation, Short Story Fiction, and Prose Poetry. I recently graduated from Stony Brook University with my Master of Arts in Teaching English. At Stony Brook, I took graduate English courses such as 20th Century American Poetry and 20th Century American Fiction, while also completing teaching courses required for certification (Special Education, Human Development, Methods of Teaching English I and II, and Foundations of Education). I am now certified by New York State to teach grades 5 through 12, though I have also worked with younger age groups as a substitute English teacher at Riverhead Charter School (Calverton, N.Y.) and St. Edward the Confessor (Syosset, N.Y.). Currently, I am employed as a fifth grade English/Math co-teacher at Riverhead Charter School, where I differentiate instruction for many students with disabilities while meeting the learning standards of Common Core for all of my students. However, I am not one to sit still and in my free time I would love to help other students improve their ELA skills and also learn to love writing and reading for its own sake. I look forward to hearing from anyone interested in my tutoring help!
