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!

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 have a PhD in physics from University of Wisconsin-Madison and have a B.S. in Applied Physics and a minor in Mathematics from Providence College. I've helped students of all ages and skill levels reach their goals in science and math courses. I enjoy being a resource to help students struggling in math and science, as these subjects can be difficult to understand. I employ a variety of strategies including mnemonic devices, physical manipulatives, and drawings/diagrams to accommodate different learning styles. Typically, I have the students attempt to solve a problem and then ask leading questions whenever he/she gets stuck. If the questions are more conceptual in nature, I start with what the student knows and build upon that knowledge. I am passionate about math and science, and I use that enthusiasm to help develop skills and confidence of my students.

I am a current Masters/PhD Candidate in Human Development and Applied Behavioral Analysis at the University of Rochester. I earned my Bachelor's Degree and first Master's of Special Education degree at Providence College in Rhode Island. I taught Elementary Special Education for two years in the Pittsford Central School District before choosing to return to school to further my career. I am a friendly, interactive and enthusiastic tutor who wants to help students achieve their goals! My tutoring approach is not just about simply getting the best grades- it's about making these subjects interesting, relatable, and even fun in the hope that students enjoy the learning process, and therefore feel more motivated to study hard to earn their good grades. I can tailor lessons around the student's desires and goals, whether it be grasping the basics, explanations of complex concepts, or going through exam questions and SAT/AP prep. I strive to understand the preferred learning style of each individual student so that he/she feels comfortable and is able to remain engaged and learn in a way that suits them. I hope to pass on my enthusiasm for learning to my students.

Hi! I'm Julie, a creative and quirky teacher who loves to read and write and empower students to feel the same way... or at least feel confident in their abilities to do those things! Let me help you with powerful test-taking strategies so that you can approach your test ready to do your best. I love helping students find their unique voice as writers, whether it's in the form of a college essay or an assignment for class. You never know what you can discover about yourself once you sit down to put pen to paper... or fingers to a keyboard!

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.

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 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!

I'm a 4th year medical student at New York Medical College, but I am in Philadelphia for one year for medical research. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and a strong background in science courses, pre-med curricula, scientific writing, creative writing and presentations. I have tutored middle school, high school and college students in science, writing, and research-related topics and tasks like working through peer reviewed papers or designing research projects. I also teach two middle school biology classes over zoom.As a biology major in college, I have a strong soft science background (including marine bio, freshwater bio, ecology, genetics, molecular bio, biochem...) so please connect with me if you would like to work together in a science class.I eventually got to medical school, but a lot of classes didn't come easily for me along the way -- I know how it feels to hit roadblocks, but I have also gained valuable experience about how to overcome them. What kind of learner are you? Visual? Kinesthetic? Don't know? Let's figure it out, and then study in a way that works for you. Lets talk it out, draw it out, make up fun mnemonics-- whatever it takes to meet your goal and ace that test, and more importantly, to learn it for GOOD. I am so excited to work with you!

I am a graduate of Providence College with a Bachelor's of Science. I am currently enrolled in a graduate program at Lesley University where I am studying Secondary Education. In the fall I will be starting my fourth year as a 9th grade Algebra and Geometry teacher.Prior to teaching, I was a substitute teacher for two years. I started tutoring Algebra this past year; I enjoy working with students one-on-one.I understand that math isn't everyone's best subject, but it can be practiced! Nobody should be categorized as a "math person" or "not a math person," because it is a skill that I can help you acquire. Please let me make math easier for you!

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.
