...preparation the most. I love helping my students find beauty in the English language in addition to helping them achieve their college goals. I also love working with students on their college essays because that's when I feel I get to know my students the best, as we talk through dreams, aspirations, and life experiences. I view education as a skill; education is not around to help us learn specific things, but rather education teaches...

...I enjoy it. Education has opened up so many doors for me, and this is largely because I was fortunate to have some amazing teachers growing up who made learning fun (or at the very least not miserable). My goal is to do the same for each one of the students who I work with, and find ways to make even the most abstract concepts or complex math problems "click" in a student's mind.... Individualization is...

...I will do my best to help students know where and how to find them. I believe that tutoring is most effective when a student comes to acknowledge and utilize the strategies that are best suited for their learning style, which they can then take with them into other subjects and in their future academic endeavors. Outside of the academic arena, I love to read, watch movies, spend too much money on craft supplies at...

...a personal tutor. So I assist students when they are unable to meet with their teacher, clarify concepts the student needs more time on, explain concepts in alternative ways, and review the building blocks that the student needs to complete the tasks at hand. We'll work together so that your student gains skills and confidence. I've enjoyed working with preschoolers to middle schoolers, and high school students are a great group to interact with. Everyone...

...I worked as a student tutor for the Mathematics Department for three years, tutoring calculus, probability, statistics, and finite mathematics. I also tutored independently, tutoring middle school and high school students in Algebra I and II, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus. I love numbers, and want you to as well! Beyond my background in math, I have several other interests as well. I have been a musician since the sixth grade when I first started playing the...

...Instead, I prefer to plant good seeds into the lives of others. Further, I have discovered that I not only love to teach but that I am quite good at it. While I am doing quite a bit of private tutoring on my own, I am now looking for ways to expand my reach. Accordingly, your organization may be a good fit with my skills and abilities. Note that I do not intend to quit...

...dentist, I am currently working towards getting a dental degree. During my undergraduate career, I had several experiences of helping other students with learning materials and quiz/exam preparation. I am excited to have another opportunity to help other students again through Varsity Tutors because I truly believe that education is absolutely imperative to a better quality of life and that everyone is fully capable of learning and making potentials to reality. As for tutoring, I...

...colloquialisms and grammar. Languages and linguistics are fascinating to me and I don't get to speak mine enough, so please speak them with me! My physics background, as well as my years of teaching, means I know a disturbing amount of math (through advanced calculus). Yet, I've also been reading since I was old enough to hold a flashlight (my eyes don't thank me), so if you need help with following any sort of literature,...

...past five years. My greatest passion is making science accessible, especially when it can seem confusing and intimidating. I love activating students' natural curiosity and inquiry, and using that to build confidence in and mastery of a wide variety of academic topics. I graduated from Yale University with a double major in Environmental Studies and International Studies, and I love the way science and real-world issues can interact. Part of my interest in the environment...

...the difference between what a good/bad teacher can provide to a student's learning experience. I aim to understand the student's learning style and altering my methods for each student's needs. I do my very best to not only help students reach the right answer but to make sure they completely understand the subject at hand. It is important to me that students enjoy the learning process, so I aim to make tutoring sessions both intriguing...

I tutor kids of all ages, and specialize in those with ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, Asperger's and Autism Spectrum Disorder, as well as those with emotional and cognitive disorders. My preferred subjects are test preparation (SAT, ACT, GRE, etc.), Math, Science, and English. ... I think it's very important that I relate to students on a personal level so they truly understand that I want them to do well. Once that bond is made, we can work together...

...with a subjects concepts, learn how to stay organized and keep up with their work, I know I have done my job well. I personally love to learn and even after having graduated, I am constantly looking for opportunities to learn new things. Additionally, in my spare time I enjoy reading, board games, and rock climbing. I am excited to work as a tutor once again in order to give students a chance to learn...

...a Bachelors of Arts in Economics with minors in Public Policy and Entrepreneurship. Currently, I am taking classes part time at the University of North Carolina to prepare myself for PhD programs in economics. I have dedicated my life to being an educator. After receiving a PhD, I hope to pursue a career as a college professor while possibly doing some independent consulting work. It is my eventual goal to be involved in academic administration....

I have tutored many people in the past - from elementary school kids to Duke University athletes. I really enjoy the challenge of helping students understand material that was previously foreign to them. I am highly dedicated, make my own lessons and try to make learning as fun as possible.... To make learning as fun as possible. Learning should never be frustrating or painful. There is always a way to enjoy the process!... I make my...

...songs. I have also studied jazz piano and jazz theory to teach more advanced students how to play blues piano. I have studied with several world class instructors including a teacher who was trained in European classical piano techniques by a very renowned concert pianist who had lineage back to Beethoven. My teacher when I was a piano major in college was Ruth Laredo who was an acclaimed concert pianist with three Grammy nominations for...

...full-time homeschool mom of our three children in elementary school. Teaching our own children is both rewarding and challenging! I will work hard to motivate your child to develop an appreciation for learning, and to understand that a good education is a privilege. If you are looking for a kind, patient, and competent tutor for many subjects in K-12 (i.e., English, Reading, Math, Science, Social Studies), please let me know how I can help you....

...and interactive lessons for a wide range of ages. My lab internships at Duke University, Brown University, and UNC-Chapel Hill, as well as college coursework, have further amplified my interest in biology and chemistry. Additionally, I work as a volunteer medical interpreter at Clnica Esperanza in Rhode Island, and conduct administrative and check-in procedures with Spanish-speaking patients. This opportunity, as well as the upper-level Spanish culture and literature courses I have taken at Brown, have...

...small steel-and-refractory fabricator, building lumber kilns for the timber industry. I feel very fortunate to have had this rewarding niche market occupation that put my engineering education to work and provided me with an exciting and varied hands-on real-world experience. Looking back, it seems to me that knowing how math is applied might fill a gap for those learning these ropes for the first time. My only practice teaching comes from training new employees, but...

...I went to NC State for my degree in Statistics. Statistics is the science of explaining complex numbers/data into easy to understand language and I'm proud to say I refined that skill to a expert level. This has shaped the very way that I think about things in everyday life. I'm actively aware of language that might be misleading or lack specificity, which will undoubtedly benefit students learning new ideas. I particularly enjoy tutoring principals...

...choose. As a teacher I have accustomed myself to the many learning styles and diversity of the modern classroom. I retired from classroom teaching in 2015. However, I have been teaching part-time and full-time since my retirement. I love what I do and I fully enjoy the opportunity help students be successful. Having two consecutive careers in science and education allows me to help students bridge the gap between theory and practice. Out of the...
