Hi! My background includes a Bachelor's degree in English from Roosevelt University, and a Master's degree in Writing and Publishing from DePaul University. In late 2019, I had the opportunity to work as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the College of Lake County (for an English Composition I class). I also had the honor and privilege of working as a Peer Writing Tutor for DePaul University's Writing Center. I collaborated with both Undergraduate and Graduate students of all studies/disciplines on any writing-based projects, both personal and academic. I provided writing support to clients with the goal of helping them become even more successful writers in school and beyond. Currently, I am working as tutor in a freelance capacity. Over the past year, I have worked with dozens of students on the following platforms: Tutor.com, TutorMe and Smarthinking. I helped clients with brainstorming writing ideas, providing sources, improving writing quality, and developing argumentation skills.I firmly believe that learning should be fun. Nothing motivates learners as much as fun does because it comes from genuine interest from within instead of pressure from others. Students are much more likely to invest extra time in the learning process if they enjoy it.

My name is Aesha. I am freshman at DePaul. I am majoring in Health Sciences with a concentration on pre-physician assistant. I am from Woodstock, IL. My academic strengths pertain to science and math. Growing up, I participated in the math team during middle school and high school. I have previously tutored in high school chemistry and high school algebra. My previous students benefitted from tutoring as a significant letter grade increase was noticeable after several tutoring sessions. My tutoring style is very flexible depending upon the student. I can tutor both virtually and on paper. I am also assertive towards difficult concepts to ensure understanding. Overall, I aspire to make learning fun and productive.

After graduating from DePaul University with my Bachelor's degree in English Literature, I then went on to receive my Master's degree in Secondary Education from Saint Joseph's University. I became a high school English teacher in Newark, NJ following an excellent experience coordinating an after-school tutoring program in Cincinnati, OH. As a tutor, a teacher, and a mother, I am committed to the world of education. It has been most rewarding to tutor my students in English, literature, and writing. I firmly believe that students learn best when engaging in material that is meaningful to them. I help my students to find relevancy in what they're learning, and I always tailor my lessons to meet the individual needs of the student. Outside of education, I enjoy practicing meditation, cooking, and expressing myself through bonsai and wood burning art.

I am currently a full-time 5th grade math and science teacher during the school year. I have been tutoring for over 7 years now. I like to build a personal relationship with each of my clients in order to ensure a fun and effective experience. It is important to me for all of my students to grasp the concept they are struggling with, to the fullest extent. This can be accomplished by implementing a variety of strategies and methods. I look forward to working with you.

My passion for tutoring stems from a deep-seated desire to help others grasp complex concepts that have shaped my own academic journey. With a Master's in Business Administration and a Bachelor's in Economics, I have successfully navigated all three levels of the CFA exam. I believe in fostering a supportive learning environment where each student's unique needs are addressed, allowing them to build confidence and achieve their goals. My experience in tutoring CFA subjects has taught me the importance of patience and tailored explanations, as I enjoy guiding students through their challenges and celebrating their successes. Witnessing that moment of understanding is incredibly rewarding, and it fuels my commitment to education.

Recent graduate from DePaul University's College of Education, and a specialist in English, Language Arts, and Creative and Analytical Writing.My degree taught me invaluable skills and strategies that I look forward to putting to good use with my students! I like to take a highly personalized approach to teaching, and I design my curricula with my students' skills, interests, and difficulties in the forefront of my mind.

Using my experience in program initiatives, optimizing the learning atmosphere and promoting a safe environment, I have a proven record of exceeding my goals and expectations set. The use of both Data Driven Instruction and Data Driven Decision Making for planning and evaluation bring goal setting and actualization together in my teaching. I believe my use of effective verbal and non- verbal communication of goals and expectations positively as well as consistently has enhanced over time creating a nurturing/safe environment where learning can thrive.Education:Undergrad - Ohio UniversityGraduate - DePaul University (Chicago)Reading & Gifted Endorsements - University of North Georgia

Hello! My name is Phoebe (she/they) and I am recent graduate from DePaul University with a Bachelors of Art. My degree specialized in art and marketing, but I have extensive experience in writing and reading comprehension. My writing has been published across many platforms, including online blogs and physical magazines.My background in teaching has been brief but extraordinarily rewarding. I have taught remotely at Norris, Marrs, and McMillan Middle Schools in Omaha, Nebraska, where I devised lesson plans and instructed classrooms for after school programs in art and entrepreneurship. My biggest accomplishment does not lie with the lessons themselves, but with connecting with each student on a personal level. I believe that in writing, communicating your own unique voice through word is of the upmost importance, and it is my goal as a tutor to help that voice shine. bell hooks once wrote in 'Teaching to Transgress,' "As a classroom community, our capacity to generate excitement is deeply affected by our interest in one another, in hearing one another's voices, in recognizing one another's presence." This is the standard that I hold myself to in education.

As your tutor, I am here to help you reach your goals, no matter if you're shooting for a better ACT reading score or to conquer some tricky French conjugations. I will provide expertise in both English and French and use my tutoring experience and graduate studies in education to help you succeed.When working with a student, I aim to identify their learning style and strengths and use this information to maximize outcomes. My teaching strategies are flexible, allowing me to adapt to whatever my students bring to the table. I also believe in the power of setting goals. When students have a clear vision of what they hope to gain out of tutoring, sessions become more effective and students see results more quickly. Finally, I strive to take complex problems and make them simple for students, with clear explanations and helpful tips and tricks.In 2013, I graduated with honors from the University of Virginia with a double major in French and foreign affairs. While at UVA, I spent six months in Lyon, France, published a research paper in French, and took French graduate courses. As a foreign affairs major, I crafted research and response papers and earned excellent marks on my grammar and writing style. During my undergraduate years, I switched over from being my family's French tutor and English grammarian to a volunteer ESL tutor. For three years, I tutored refugees and French adults in English. In summer 2014, I was accepted to study language education at DePaul University. My goal is to ultimately become a secondary French and English language teacher.

"You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself."GalileoI received my undergrad education from DePaul University. I received my Juris Doctor from The John Marshall Law School, and I am currently working on my MBA from the University of Nebraska, with a concentration in Data Analytics.I have worked with kids as an ESL tutor, basketball coach, and writing counselor. I primarily work with those that need help with American History, English, and Social Studies. I absolutely love American history, especially the history of the formation of our government.I would describe my tutoring style by expanding on the quote at the top of my page. "You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself." I really believe the desire to learn comes from within, especially when unfamiliar topics are tied with things in the real world. I try to reinforce these connections.Outside of work and school, I love to play video games and stay active. I love lifting weights and playing basketball and try and find time to join competitive rec leagues when I can.

I'm passionate about helping students build confidence in their drawing abilities by breaking down techniques into clear, approachable steps.

My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged to grow, experiment, and enjoy the creative process.

I love to share my knowledge of the political process and my love for history and philosophy with others. Language is very important to me and I hate it when words are mispronounced and misspelled. My interests are singing, movies, history and television, as well as politics and current events.

Writing clearly and efficiently is the key to effective communication. My warm and compassionate approach to tutoring empowers writers to use their resources, work within genre conventions and work through their own ideas in order to write so other people can pick up what they are putting down. Through the development of an understanding context, audience, and purpose one can learn how to master the ability to write well.

Hello! My name is Christine and I recently relocated to the Athens, GA to pursue my doctorate in Philosophy. I lived in Chicago, IL for the past five years, where I completed my undergrad at DePaul University in Lincoln Park.

I am very excited about this opportunity with Varsity Tutors, and I look forward to sharing my passion for mathematics with you!

It's been over five years since I graduated college and I can honestly say that I miss it. I miss learning. And I miss the free and open discussion with my classmates.Not everyone's experience with school is as positive as mine was, but I don't believe that learning should be a struggle.Going to school builds an academic base for your future and it sets you up for the way you will live the rest of your life. But learning doesn't have to be a chore. I believe that, with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn, any problem can be overcome. I believe that learning how to problem-solve and how to think through your problems is more important than the rote memorization of facts. And I believe that tenacious, hardworking students make successful adults.I would love to help you in your process of learning, creative and growth.

It is my personal goal to instill confidence, encouragement, goal setting, provide support, and push students toward their personal growth for the present and for the future.

In 2015 I graduated from DePaul University with a degree in Chemistry. During the course of my degree I taught multiple classes and was a walk-in tutor for the Science and Math learning center.In my years of being a teacher and a student I've found there is always more than one way to explain any given subject. Moreover,since everyone comes from a different background some explanations make more sense than others to different people. With me as your tutor I will find a way to explain science and math concepts that make the most sense to you.

I am currently studying psychology with concentration in human development at DePaul University, with the intention of becoming a psychologist. I have extensive tutoring experience at DePaul's writing center, and have taken classes which help fine-tune my tutoring skills; I work with a diverse population of students, on a wide variety of writing-based projects. My favorite subject to tutor would be anything related to reading or writing, as these are the subjects I have the most experience with. I am a strong believer of the fact that anyone who writes anything is a good writer, and that with patience and guidance, they will absolutely reach their full potential. In my spare time, I enjoy baking, spending time with my friends, and exploring my hometown, the city of Chicago.

I am a graduate from DePaul university with a master's degree in physics. It was there that I had my first experiences with teaching. I worked as a teaching assistant for a full year, during which I helped teach a full introductory physics sequence. I enjoy teaching because it allows me to communicate with students about physics and examine the material from new angles. My style of teaching involves discussion rather than lecture, and it encourages students to form conclusions themselves. Being presented outright with solutions to difficult problems is extremely ineffective and the information is unlikely to be retained. By encouraging students through insightful questions and hints, an effective teacher can allow those students to reach conclusions on their own and develop an understanding of how things work. Along the way, I supplement my lessons with as many visual aids and practical demonstrations as possible, to ensure that learning is enjoyable, even while being challenging. As of now, the only subject I am qualified to teach is physics, however I have extensive knowledge of mathematics and programming and I would be open to learning to tutor in those subjects someday. Outside of academia, I enjoy music, having played piano for most of my life, and travelling. I also have a great interest in astronomy, with that being the main focus of the research projects I was a part of during my education.

I aim to increase understanding and retention of information as well as developing not just the skills to solve a specific problem, but the mindset needed to then solve all future problems. Also, I try and make the process as enjoyable as possible!

As a writing tutor and Composition and Literature professor at Wright College in Chicago for twelve years, I was dedicated to helping students at all stages of the writing process. I can help during the beginning stages when a writer may be confused about an assignment, all the way to the end when they need to polish an essay before submitting it, and all the moments in between. I cover a variety of topics and writing techniques, including thesis development, finding/citing sources, brainstorming, and proofreading for syntax, grammar, clarity, and tone. I have tutored students across the entire college curriculum, not just English: History, Biology, and even tech classes are well known to me. I also specialize in working with ESL students and high school students doing AP English Language and Composition. My educational background is a Master's degree from DePaul University in Writing and Publishing and a Bachelor's from the University of Illinois at Chicago in Creative Writing. My background, both as a student and a teacher and tutor, has led me to tailor my approach to meet each student's unique needs. I want to create the best learning experiences I possibly can, and that means listening to what my students need!

Let me start by saying I was never academically inclined. I had a really hard time in a high-pressure traditional school environment. That is why I decided to pursue a career in teaching. I am attending DePaul university and hope to work for CPS in the future. I had a hard time in high school and I want to help other kids with what I picked up over the past many years. I tutor English and History. I love these topics and I want to inspire love and interest in them, not just high grades. If this sounds like you or your child's fit please talk to me!

Hi! I'm a history and social studies teacher with a PhD in Curriculum Studies and an MA in History. I've spent my career helping students at the secondary and college levels build the skills they need to succeed — whether that's understanding historical events, writing a strong essay, tackling a research project, preparing for an AP exam, or simply becoming more confident readers, thinkers, and writers. I love working with students one-on-one because I get to meet you exactly where you are and help you figure out what clicks. If you're looking for someone patient, encouraging, and genuinely excited to help you grow, I'd love to work with you!

I am a friendly, punctual, and reliable instructor. I find teaching to be fulfilling and compelling work. I enjoy working with people, specifically assessing the needs of the student and assignment, while teaching the underlying skills needed to complete this type of work in the future. I am a professional homework helper.I write poetry and music professionally, so I am well equipped to teach the fundamentals of creativity and the joy of words. I also graduated with highest honors from DePaul University in 2005 with a degree in relational, group, and organizational theories of communication. During this time, I learned the grammar and mechanics of language, and the various methods necessary to write essays and research papers.Since then, I've been touring the world as a professional songwriter and musician. I have a passion for writing and listening to music, films, film editing, and writing and reading poetry. In 2014, I started tutoring students in essay writing and English for an online tutoring service. I have edited thousands of papers and taught students of all ages, from kindergarten to college level. I have gained the experience to be able to quickly and efficiently teach writing methods.

I hail from the greater Chicago area, and I am a senior at DePaul University studying Computer Science and Game Development. While programming is exciting to me, one of my other passions is teaching the math and science subjects that accompany Computer Science. I learned very early on that it wasn't the material that was most essential to learning, but it is the proper learning environment that really pushes students to do their best. That is the goal of my tutoring sessions: to create an environment where it's great to ask questions, and perfectly okay to not quite get it at first.

I am a Math Teacher at a High School. I have taught 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th and High School Math. I have a Master's in Development Economics so I can teach Economics too. My goal is to uplift my students and get them to the next level in math and life.

I am currently a neuroscience student at DePaul University in Chicago. I have always enjoyed working with students. I tutored in high school and found that the opportunity to teach/tutor is also an opportunity to learn. I also took AP and Honors courses throughout high school, I was part of the National Honors Society, and was involved in the band, psychology club, philosophy club, and mathletes just to name a few. Currently, I am part of the University Honors Program and the Pathways Honors Program (for science students) at DePaul. I look forward to meeting you!

Learning can sometimes be a challenge. However, I believe that with a bit of creativity and a fresh approach any subject can present an engaging and satisfying opportunity for growth. I've been living in Detroit since I finished my masters program at DePaul University in Chicago in 2011. My tutoring experience started while I was in the Marines from 2001-2005; I frequently had to help some of the troops out with all kinds of topics, ranging from personal finance to hydraulics. After serving, I dedicated myself to helping returning veterans get situated with their GI Bill benefits and application essays. I respect those who seek knowledge and personal improvement and I believe that it is my responsibility to honor that by creating customized, learner-centered, multi-modal educational offerings for my students. I look forward eagerly to working with you.
