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.

Hello!I am an experienced tutor and classroom teacher with a passion for helping students learn - especially when it doesn't come easy. I love teaching math, especially since I know that it can be hard. While I specialize in working with middle and high school students, I have worked with students as young as kindergarten and those well into adulthood.For those of you based in the Chicagoland area, I am an experienced Test Prep tutor who has successfully helped several students gain admittance to selective enrollment high schools and highly competitive universities such as the University of Michigan, Georgetown University, Northwestern and the University of Chicago. (I'm also an alum of the University of Notre Dame and the University of Michigan, so I'll be sure you not only do well on the test, but that you'll be ready for the work once you're a freshman.)I hope that we can work together soon!

I am passionate about my subject matter and believe that that passion is contagious when it comes to students. I think it's important for students to "buy in" to education and to see how they can implement what we are teaching them in their lives. I strive to make students feel as comfortable as possible and convey that making mistakes is all part of the learning process, and it's how we improve.

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!

HiI am a certified Spanish teacher with seven years of experience in public schools . I am very helpful with any homework . Also, I can help you to improve your listening,writing, reading, and oral skills in Spanish.

I graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a Civil Engineering degree. I worked as a CVE for 5 years and decided to change careers and become a Secondary Ed. math teacher. I earned my teaching certificate from Providence College and taught for 5 years. I also have my masters degree in Guidance Counseling. I have been a math tutor for over 10 years and am very excited to join Varsity Tutors! I tutor students in Algebra I, II, Geometry, and Precalculus. Tutoring allows me to do what I love while simultaneously helping students become successful confident math students. My teaching/tutoring style is flexible and unique to each student. I encourage students to think for themselves rather than give them the answers. It is important that students learn how to approach different problems using prior knowledge. I encourage them to do that while also giving them the math support they need before frustration sets in. Tutoring has been an extremely positive experience for me and I look forward to continuing that with Varsity Tutors!

Hi everyone . My name is Liz, I am a 28 year old K-5 Math Instructional Coach in Tampa, Florida. I am in my 6th year of education, where I spent four out of my six years teaching in New York City. After moving to Florida, my school promoted me to be an Instructional Coach. Although, I am in the math role, I have experience teaching all grade levels of reading as well. I am certified in K-6 Elementary Education as well as Special Education in Florida and New York. I have my Bachelor's Degree from Providence College and Master's Degree from Relay Graduate School of Education. In a few months, I also anticipate finishing my Master's in Education Leadership from Florida Gulf Coast University. My career goal is to become a school principal. When I work with your child, I will get to know him/her for their strengths and their interests. I will ensure that I use this to build on their content knowledge and close any academic gaps, while making learning fun. I look forward to working with you!

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 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'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 recent graduate of Providence College, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, with honors. At Providence, I tutored general chemistry to freshmen in the individual and group settings. In my sessions, students used problem-based learning for better understanding of the subject and to strengthen their problem solving skills. I really enjoy helping students tackle this oftentimes challenging subject and grasp difficult concepts. Chemistry is a subject that builds on the previous learned skill, so when necessary, I will always take the time to go back to the fundamentals to make sure the student understands the bigger picture.Since graduating, I have been working as a research assistant on clinical trials at a hospital in Manhattan. In my free time, I like to run long distance, read, bake, and explore the City.
