Hi there! My name is Courtney and I'm a freelance writer and copywriter. I recently moved to the Richmond area from Minneapolis, MN, where I earned my B.A. in French Language and Literature from the University of Minnesota.I have been tutoring since I was in college and love coaching students on writing and reading comprehension and analysis. Most recently, I have been teaching French to a neighbor who is doing work in Niger next spring.Whether it's in French or any other subject, I believe that hands-on exercise and repetition are key for ingraining a concept the mind. I like to present and discuss topics, but after that I think that the student had to get their hands a little dirty. I also believe that many people know way more than they think they do, so part of the learning process is having confidence in your knowledge.

Hello, I have always loved teaching math and more recently CS topics including basic programming, Data Structures, Algorithms, and Machine Learning. I have a BS in Applied Mathematics from University of Minnesota - Twin Cities and I am currently working as a software developer in NYC. I look forward to hearing from you !

I have a Ph.D in philosophy and my teaching experience has been incredible. With my Udemy course, I have been teaching students around the globe and from diverse backgrounds. I earned my Ph.D. in philosophy with a 4.0 grade point average from the Selinus University of the Sciences and Literature, and studied logic under Dr. Paul Tomassi. My primary interests are general philosophy, philosophy of mind and the philosophy of language. I wrote my doctor's thesis in the philosophy of science quite recently. I encourage students, and hope they have a fun and energetic experience!

I am a graduate of the University of Minnesota's German Studies program. I also spent a year studying in Berlin, totally immersed in the German university. Since then (August 2013), I have consistently been working in German speaking educational environments and workplaces. I have worked as a German language Summer camp instructor for ages 4-10, as an assistant teacher for German language after-school programs for ages 5-12, as a lead teacher for the same program, as a tutor for college aged students, as an adult German language tutor at a German language institute, and as a paraprofessional at a German language school.I have gained a wide variety of experiences as a language tutor in a variety of different settings and with a variety of different learning styles. I am equipped to work with any level or age learner on any language based need in both German and English. Personally, I find the structures and histories of languages fascinating and took a year of Greek at the University and self-taught a semester of Latin to learn more about it. Currently, I am also studying Spanish and Ojibwa. Thus, I am well prepared and excited to help with problems related to grammar, vocabulary, sentence structure, writing skills, and reading comprehension.As a tutor, I want you, the student, to be as excited about language as I am, and so I am dedicated to finding that part of language or that expression of language that will fascinate you, whether it be poetry, song lyrics, etymology, or whatever, and incorporating that into our lessons.

I have been teaching since grade school, when my sister and I always got to be the teachers whenever we played school because WE had the nun costumes. (Thanks, Mom!) As a high school sophomore, I was asked to teach the freshman German class because I had learned so much of the language on my own, with the help of an older sister who was studying it in college. (Thanks, Sis!) As a graduate student, my advisor asked me to teach a year-long course in electronic music, a subject that at the time I didnt know well at all. (Thanks, Dr. Stokes!) Thats when I really learned how to learn and how to teach - fast. Since then, I have taught a variety of subjects to everyone from preschoolers to adult learners - and Im still going to school myself.My background in the arts enables me to take novel approaches to asking questions, while my background in health care gives me a strong appreciation for arriving at evidence-based answers. That combination of discipline and creativity is something that I try to pass along to all of my students. If that appeals to you, I would love to work with you!

I am a graduate from the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities with a degree in Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development. I have been tutoring children from the age of four up to 18 for the past seven years and have enjoyed every minute of it. I regularly tutor in math and reading, for students up to 12th grade. I struggled with academics in elementary school, and had a tutor who instilled a deep passion for learning in me then. I strive to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with everyone I work with, and create a personalized plan for each student. I am heavily involved in research in the medical field, and hope to become a doctor one day. Aside from work, I enjoy reading, going on hikes, and exploring new places.

I am a software engineer and logistics specialist with a B.S. from the College of Science & Engineering at the University of Minnesota.I have been a tutor in Minnesota for 10 years. I have taught a wealth of subjects at grade-levels 4th through 12th as well as college graduates and undergraduates. I am most frequently consulted for tutoring in General Writing, Mathematics and Computer Science. Those have been the trend, but not the extent, of my tutoring experience. I am proficient and proven in tutoring a vast number of subjects.I enjoy tutoring because gaining, sharing and inspiring knowledge is a part of who I am. I treasure the chance to watch the unique intelligence of people around me unfold. It's an adventure to encounter and systematically overcome problems put in front of us, as a team. I passionately practice that teamwork-focused approach to tutoring, and my tutees and I have a thrill in that intellectual voyage.In my spare time I like to travel throughout the vastness of the world and the minds of people within it. I hope that in this travel, I will have the opportunity to reach even more talented minds whom I can support in their drive for knowledge and success.

I am a sophomore at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities studying Political Science and Spanish. Previously, I attended St. Francis High School and Anoka Ramsey Community College as a PSEO student. Some of my experience working with students I have gained through tutoring at Ramsey Middle School in Minneapolis. I tutor 6th and 8th grade math students with Algebra and Pre-Algebra. This experience is actually what led me to become interested in working as a tutor for Varsity Tutors. The subjects I am most interested in tutoring are math, Spanish, and ACT prep.Education has always been important to me, and I love sharing it with others. I love seeing that others are passionate about a particular topic, even if it isn’t something I’m necessarily interested in. I would describe my tutoring style as laid back, but goal-oriented. I am incredibly understanding and patient, but also very driven to help others accomplish their goals. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, traveling, reading, and playing/watching hockey.

I'm excited to share my passion of math and design with others. I enjoy applying concepts learned in the classroom to real-life situations. It's not just about learning what we are supposed to learn, but rather understanding why it is important and what we can do with it.

I'm a mechanical engineering student at the University of Minnesota. I'm passionate about math and science, but I'm also interested in history and literature.

I have teaching and tutoring experience in both fields and I am excited to meet with you and discuss personalized lesson plans and work with you towards your goals in language learning!

I believe that a good tutoring relationship provides students with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive academically and to succeed in accomplishing their goals. Becoming a good tutor requires a genuine interest in those students as well as a willingness to help them with whatever they need to flourish. As a tutor, I will not only demonstrate a positive and enthusiastic attitude about all assignments, I will also act as a positive role model for those who need tutoring inside of sessions and out. Moreover, I will empower students to develop their own strengths, beliefs, and personal attributes while utilizing my own to do so. I will exemplify the value of ongoing learning and growth and ensure that my students know that I value their opinions and initiatives just as much, if not more so, as my own. Most importantly, I will provide guidance and constructive feedback to the students so that they can better identify and use their current strengths to their advantage throughout the year through the employment of communication methods tailored to the needs of each individual student. Each student is different, which means each student learns and grows differently. Therefore, I hope to develop more personal relationships with each one so that each student can find fulfillment and success in their unique paths.As a tutor, I will support students and facilitate growth and learning throughout the school year and into the summer. In my previous work as a math tutor (though I also love to teach Biology, Chemistry, and other science topics), I worked one-on-one with other high school students in subjects including algebra, geometry, and calculus and integrated different methods of teaching to helps students learn the material in a way that worked best for them. I offered support to make sure that each student was able to understand the material and additionally monitored, assessed, and remediated each student's performance when necessary. Now, I am able to give directions, provide helpful feedback regarding homework and other areas of study, and be a source of information for related topics and have expanded my areas of tutoring to liberal arts topics like English and History. I hope to be a role model to those I tutor through my passion for my learning, my kindness, and my patience and be a mentor that students can look to for guidance in times of stress and uncertainty. Furthermore, I want to be an example of how it is possible to not only survive but thrive in school, even if things don't go exactly as planned and guide students through the challenges of, among other things, the right balance between classwork, extracurricular activities, and socialization.I am currently working towards my Bachelors of Science Degree in Biology through the College of Biological Science at the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities with minors in Psychology and Sociology. I am a member of the Phi Beta Chi sorority, an active member of Colleges Against Cancer and the American Cancer Society's Cancer Action Network, and a Sophomore Guild Leader for the Nature of Life Program through the College of Biological Sciences. Outside of school, I enjoy knitting, reading, watching Grey's Anatomy, watching sports (especially baseball, football, and hockey), photography, baking cookies, traveling, and shopping.

I am a graduate of the University of Minnesota. I received my Bachelor of Science in Business with a focus on marketing as well as my Bachelor of Arts in Strategic Communications with a focus on creative advertising. I managed to receive both degrees within four years while balancing the life of a student-athlete competing on Minnesota's swimming and diving team, this taught me a great deal about valuable study skills, organization and maximizing one's time. Since graduation I have spent a few years traveling and living abroad in both Europe and Asia working as an acrobat meanwhile continuing to learn, read and study languages. I am passionate about tutoring as a way to use my knowledge to help others reach their goals. I hold experience as a writing and math tutor, although I feel comfortable tutoring an even broader range of subjects. I am a very hardworking, outgoing, goal-oriented person. I am a firm proponent of education and love finding creative ways to help others better understand difficult material and new ways of reaching their academic goals.

I have recently graduated from the University of Minnesota with a BA in English literature. Ironically, as a child, reading and writing were my most difficult subjects. I required the guidance of several tutors. By high school, I was able to enjoy AP English courses and became a tutor for numerous courses myself. During my senior year of high school I joined the Air Force, where I would be assigned as an instructor in Washington, DC. After the service, I resumed tutoring through volunteer work with ESL, GED and citizenship exam preparation. Although I am experienced in a plethora of subjects, I most enjoy helping others grow in their writing and communication skills with essay and speech assistance. I understand how it can feel to need help and have the patience required for one-on-one instruction. I believe with enough time and guidance we can all unlock the potential within, and that sometimes the hardest lessons are our most valuable; therefore, it is vital that we never abandon education. Thanks to the tutors in my life, I now write and publish lyrics in my spare time. In tutoring, I work to enrich my students’ lives through acquiring once unattainable knowledge.

I am currently working towards a PhD in Entomology at the University of Minnesota. I also have an Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts from North Hennepin Community College.My tutoring experiences include serving as a peer biology tutor, and as a general STEM and writing tutor for K-12 and adult learners through the public library. I have also taught freshman college level courses in entomology and human biology.I am a broadly trained biologist and can provide tutoring for a variety of biological topics. My current research is split between ecology and molecular biology. I have also received training to tutor essay writing and have experience working with ESL students.I believe that STEM is for everyone and that mastering biology is within every student's reach. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, dancing, and hiking.

I am eager to share my knowledge and expertise with those seeking to develop their skills.In my experience as a tutor and mentor, I have found that the best way to help students learn is to tailor my approach to their individual needs and learning styles. Whether you are struggling with a specific concept or need help developing a study plan, I am committed to working with you to identify your strengths and weaknesses and help you build the skills and knowledge you need to succeed.If you choose to work with me, you can expect a tutor and mentor who is patient, supportive, and dedicated to your success. Whether you are a high school student just starting or a college student looking to take your skills to the next level, I am here to help you achieve your goals and reach your full potential.

I am an educator and artist with a passion for languages. I have experience teaching in both Minneapolis and Paris, and I have tutored in K-12 core subject matters - math, science, language arts, and social studies. I have my Master's of Education from the University of Minnesota in Second Languages and Cultures with a narrow focus on English as a Second Language. I am fluent in French and have an intermediate level in Spanish and Arabic. My main goals when working with students is to meet them where they are at in their learning, as well as use creative ways to make knowledge accessible. When I'm not teaching, I am spending time outside, reading up and working on anti-oppression, and watching movies. I am also a novice herbalist and astrologer, and hope to dedicate more time in learning about our plan(t)cestors and how they help with healing.

I am a very sociable and dedicated computer programmer from Minneapolis, MN. I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a major in Computer Science and a minor in Japanese. I love to teach and I love to learn all things computer science.Technology is a fast-growing area and there is always something new to get your hands on, whether that be mobile, web, api, or even game development. It's important to stay up-to-date on your skills, especially in the world of technology, and I want to make that as easy as possible for every student I work with. Through positivity, mutual interests, and taking the time to understand each student's needs and preferred way of learning, I hope to help people learn about the exciting world of computer programming.

I am a current sophomore in my undergraduate career at the University of Minnesota and I have been tutoring students for 5 years. I am passionate about working with others and making them excited to learn and seeing them grow! I tutor in a variety of math, english, ACT prep, russian, and spanish courses, and I would love to work with you! I have been speaking russian and spanish since I was 5, and I was in a secondary math and reading program from a young age as well, which allowed me to succeed academically. My teaching style emphasizes compassion and patience, because I have been a student in a tutoring center myself, and I know how stressful it can get at times! I also believe that learning should make students feel proud of themselves and make them excited, which is my main goal. In my time away from tutoring, I help with psychology lab research, I try to travel when I am able, and I love to work out!

A lifelong learner, my heroes have always been my teachers. Now my goal is to be that person for today's students. I returned to school after a business career and earned my PhD. For the past 5 years, teaching and tutoring math and statistics students within the Minnesota State colleges and universities system has been both challenging and satisfying. Helping students overcome their math frustration is a highlight. These subjects are not for everyone. However, it seems reasonable that successful learning comes when tutoring complements individual interests and educational goals. Some people aspire to win an Olympic medal; scientific minds would like a Nobel Prize; and those who like more drama, seek an Academy Award. Graduation is our ultimate goal as it helps advance an improved quality of life. Looking forward to working with you during a successful school year.

Criminal defense attorney looking to tutor part time. My areas of interest and expertise are in LSAT tutoring as well as history and social studies tutoring.

My objective as a tutor is to deliver maximum life-long values: conceptual understanding, a rekindled love for learning, confidence, genuine self-esteem, and friendship. I deliver these by focusing on conceptual understanding. Most difficulties with the current materials come from not having mastered the earlier concepts or skills. I locate these earlier misunderstandings by asking questions like, "Walk me through this problem and explain your thought process" or "How are you thinking about this problem?" It's normal to get confused responses to these questions, but whatever response is offered, I can dig deeper by asking additional questions. Upon finding underlying areas that are not understood, I deliver focused learning experiences designed to quickly, easily, and enjoyably bring about conceptual understanding. I can off these kinds of mini-lessons immediately and without additional preparation because I myself have conceptual mastery of nearly the entire math and physics curricula from elementary through the first 4 years of college.When I am not tutoring: I am seeking employment in the medical device and aerospace industries as a Quality Engineer or Reliability Engineer, creating heart and mind expanding experiences for my wife and daughters, supporting my daughter's acting career and rigorous talent development programs, reading for learning or pleasure, authoring heart and mind expanding books, engaging in aggressive personal development, exploring the fullness of what life has to offer, laughing, learning, and creating values for the world.

I'm a student at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis studying for my BA in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science, and I am expecting to graduate in May 2018. I've been tutoring mathematics in various places since 2015, including Mathnasium: The Math Learning Center in Plymouth, MN.I loved tutoring as soon as I started doing it for the first time, because I love the subject of math and the difference I can make for people in their classes. School can be stressful, so it's a great feeling to help a student overcome a difficult problem or concept. Over the past few years I've learned specific techniques for teaching individual age groups, from K-12 to college students. This is because it's not enough to just know the subject; in order to be a good tutor, you must also know how to teach it. I've striven to continue to gain experience in teaching so I can someday be a professor, so I'm very excited to be a part of Varsity Tutors, a modern solution to teaching.

I have worked as a teaching assistant of Math 155r (Combinatorics) at Harvard University, where I got my B.A. in Applied Mathematics in 2017, and will be teaching (most likely) Calculus starting in the fall of 2017, while I begin my Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. I have worked as a tutor (ranging from middle school to high school/SAT math) since 2010, and have also enjoyed tutoring other subjects, such as SAT English, physics, and chemistry. I am extremely invested in making challenging topics less intimidating and am happy to work with students of all levels!I have worked as a math tutor since 2010, and really enjoy working with students to help find contexts that make mathematics more understandable and relatable. Further, I am personally very interested in mathematics, since I will be working in math research/teaching as a graduate student.I became proficient in French in 2013 following high school, after which I have maintained proficiency by taking upper-level French courses and taking part in immersive experiences such as working for French-speaking families. Since I grew up a native English speaker, I understand the difficulties that come with learning a new language, and am excited to help people work through these challenges and enjoy the benefits of multilingualism.

As a writing instructor, I believe that my job is not to "tell students what to do," but rather to coach and develop, to ask questions and give feedback as needed. In my experience, students who are open to this feedback--and show an eagerness to grow--are the most rewarding to work with. I believe that written communication is one of the most valuable skills one can master, and that all students, regardless of their past experiences with writing instruction, can become effective communicators of their ideas. I relish the feeling of writing something meaningful and effective, and I hope to impart that same experience to the students I get to work with!

I'm a recent graduate from University of Minnesota. I completed a dual degree in psychology and mathematics. I have been tutoring for more than a year and I am looking forward to meeting new students here and helping them achieve their goals.

I will be graduating from the University of Minnesota this spring, and before I go back to school I would like to help others the same way I got help as a student!

I am an incoming Epidemiology and Global Health Master of Public Health student at the University of Minnesota. I received my undergraduate degree in Mathematics from Grinnell College in 2020 and also have extensive coursework in philosophy, biology, chemistry, and physics. I worked as a calculus tutor in Grinnell's math lab and tutored a professor's 8th grader in recreational math, competition problems, and ACT math test prep. I'm an alumni of the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY) and enjoy juggling, sudoku, and creating origami tessellations.

I am a pre-Occupational Therapy student majoring in psychology with minors in neuroscience and art. I will be graduating with honors from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities in May, and I will begin Washington University School of Medicine's Doctorate of Occupational Therapy Program this Fall. My academic pursuits have made me confident in my abilities to tutor those pursing degrees in social sciences along with those pursuing careers in health care. Currently my favorite subject is neuroscience. I fell in love with it after I started college and I plan on specializing in neurorehabilitionation as an occupational therapist.I have many years of experience working with children of all ages and abilities in many settings, including previous tutoring. I also have many years of experience working with children and adults with mental and physical disabilities. These experiences have provided me with skills to develop individualized plans to help individuals achieve their goals. I have had much success when applying these skills to my tutoring plans. I have also used and developed these skills further in the research I have conducted on promoting independence in adults with Autism and early intervention programs for children with Autism. My individualized interventions in both research projects resulted in increased fine motor skills in children (increasing their independence in daily cares) and successfully preparing adults for independently working in their community. These skills are also utilized in my other job at an assisted living facility for nonverbal adults with Autism.I am very happy and willing to help anyone of any age reach their full potential and pursue any goals they possess.Contact me personally for weekend availability. Currently I will often have some availability each weekend day but the time varies due to my other job. In the future, I can schedule these shifts around tutoring sessions if you wish to meet with me on the weekends.
