I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Alejandro

Certified Tutor

I obtained a Bachelors in Science with a major in psychology from Barry University in 2012. After college, I took one year to travel abroad and experience different cultures around the world. I have always had a passion for learning and for imparting my knowledge onto other individuals. I took this opportunity to enhance my interpersonal skills and cultural knowledge. During my college years I became a private tutor for different subjects such as elementary math, algebra, SSAT prep, reading and writing among others. I taught various students ranging from 1st grade to seniors in high school. I took great pleasure in seeing my students progress throughout their academic years. I consider my teaching style to be very flexible as I like to allow my students' personality and strengths to mold my style. Moreover, I am an advocate of individualized learning as every child is different and unique in their own way. I have worked as a case manager for the past 2 years with children ages 5 to 18 where I provided social services and assistance to improve their social, psychological, and educational functioning. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, playing and watching sports such as soccer, and reading comics and novels.

What is your teaching philosophy?

I believe an instructor should be able to accommodate to the needs and personality of each student.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

Get to know the student better and try to assess what their true academic weaknesses are, so that time may be used efficiently

How would you help a student stay motivated?

By helping them see that with effort comes improvements. There is no better motivation than results.

If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do?

Find a way to relate that concept to the student's interests so it can be better understood.

How do you adapt your tutoring to the student's needs?

By making sure that I know the student that I'm working with so that I may cater my tutoring to their personality

How would you help a student get excited/engaged with a subject that they are struggling in?

By relating the material to the student's interests and hobbies and helping them see that nothing is too hard
