I believe in the power of mindset and high expectations. The two combined can result in transformation that is exceedingly and abundantly more than we could ever imagine. My purpose as a teacher is to facilitate learning that expands a student's world by exposing him/her to content that opens up opportunities of learning. As a teacher, I prioritize my instruction to be centered around the student and the student's needs. My style is fun, engaging, and rigorous, and my drive as an instructor is rooted in the success and achievements of my students.My philosophy of teaching is simple: what are your needs and how can I help you achieve them.

I believe that when it comes to learning, why is just as important as what and how.My goal as a tutor is not only to help you learn how something works, or what the facts are, but why it is important to know this information. Once a principle is understood, it can be repeated! This includes lessons like standardized testing, and how to use the information on the page to your utmost advantage!I love history, English, theater and public speaking. I specialize in class speeches of all types. I've worked with students of all age groups, from elementary to college level material. Get in touch, and let's see what I can do for you!

I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Communication Design (graphic design) from Elon University in 2016. Throughout my senior year, I worked at the headquarters of Kindermusik International on website, marketing, and teaching tools. The following year, I decided to stay at Elon University and obtain a Master's of Science in Management with a focus in Operational Analytics. This degree was largely focused on statistics but also included background in accounting, economics, finance, and business management. Since graduating in 2017, I have traveled both domestically and abroad. During the summer of 2018, I received my TEFL certificate and moved to Vietnam to teach English for three months. In my free time I enjoy playing basketball, guitar, and piano, as well as cooking and exercising. Though I have experience in many fields, I mostly enjoy tutoring algebra, statistics, English as a foreign/second language, and guitar. I believe that it is essential for students to learn in a stress-free atmosphere and that true academic growth must come naturally. I try my very best to be myself in the classroom and expect the same from my students. I try to gain an understanding of their interests in order to keep tutoring sessions interesting.

I am a recent graduate of Elon University, where I earned a double English major of Professional Writing & Rhetoric and Creative Writing. My college career was defined by my work at the Elon Writing Center and as a Writing Fellow, where I was able to polish my tutoring pedagogy through experience and a full-semester preparatory course. I approach sessions with a collaborative mindset, knowing that knowledge is formed via communication, probing questions, and strategic challenges. In the Writing CenterI consulted with clients on all genres of writing, from the classic five-paragraph essay, to lab reports, to business memos. As a Fellow, I was assigned to a particular history class where I met with each student to go over any writing assignment before it was due. I am passionate about addressing high order concerns (structure and argument) before low order ones (grammar and mechanics), to best help the cognition of my clients. Of course, I can make fun exercise worksheets for areas such as punctuation and grammar rules, too.Last summer I translated the skills I earned through this on-campus job to Vietnam where I helped Vietnamese students prepare to apply to boarding schools and colleges in the U.S. I served as a teaching assistant for English and test-prep classes, from intermediate and advanced writing to SAT classes, TOEFL tutoring, and college essay consultations. It was a joy to put my ESL training to use and to learn how to identify talent in a student and make sure that individuality is manifest on the page.I have a passion for argumentative writing, creative writing, and vocabulary across al age groups. Getting clients excited about a well-finished product, especially the "non-writers," gives me the most satisfaction. I look forward to working with any and all clients that want a boost in their writer's morale!In my free time, I love writing stories, watching Netflix, crafting from Pinterest, and hiking local trails with friends.

My name is Ethan Krone and I am a senior at Elon University. I am currently studying both International & Global Studies and Spanish as my majors with a Political Science minor. As a part of Varsity Tutors, my focus is to help others learn Spanish. I am a native English speaker from Indiana, but I have taken Spanish for over 8 years and have studied abroad in Peru during my time at Elon. I have also tutored students in Spanish throughout high school and college. My goal is to help others learn and improve upon the language.

I am a sophomore at Elon University in North Carolina. I am studying biology, chemistry, and public health and I am on a pre-medicine track. At Elon, I am very involved in the College Fellows (Research) Program and I volunteer through the Kiwanis Family. I love working with kids and I love science, so being a tutor is a perfect fit! I have been tutoring since the beginning of high school and I have worked with students who learn best in different ways, so I can tailor my explanations to make sure the student understands everything. I know that this is not always possible in a classroom setting because one person is often teaching 20+ students, so I am extremely happy and grateful I have the opportunity to help through individualized tutoring.

I strive to find balance in my life through personal and academic success, while being able to make a difference in my community and inspire my students to be more than they thought they could be through positive energy.

I attend Elon University in North Carolina, where I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a Bachelor of Arts in Physics. I primarily tutor physics and math subjects. I especially love tutoring physics because it is an opportunity to make sense of the physical world surrounding us through mathematical relationships. Many students have difficulty with physics at first because it introduces new methods of thinking, so I love trying to help students reach that "click" moment where everything comes together. The actual calculations of physics problems may be daunting, but I aim to strengthen fundamental concepts during my tutoring sessions so that students feel confident to tackle difficult problems on AP and other standardized tests. Outside of my academic pursuits, I love music production, sound design, and song writing.

I value the learning process, and aim to pass on the fundamentals of language and other subject areas I have obtained.

I graduated from Elon University in May, 2022. I received a Bachelor's degree in International Business with a German focus. I also received a degree from the Fine Arts department focusing on dance. I was born in Germany, lived there for six years, and am now a dual citizen of the U.S.A. and Germany. My junior year I enrolled in Heidelberg University to take courses with native speakers. I have a great passion for teaching and have taught German to High Schoolers in the Chicagoland area. Where I used my knowledge from having scored a 5 on the AP test to help other students. Sharing my personal knowledge of the culture enriches the language learning process. I seek to bring this to all my students. I am currently a professional dancer with a focus in ballet and contemporary. I also love painting, yoga, cooking/baking, and going for walks in nature.

Hello! My name is Miss Maddie, and I cannot wait to work with you! I just recently graduated High School, and about to begin my first semester at Elon University as an Engineering Major. I graduated with Distinguished Honors and experience in a variety of leadership roles through several councils and clubs at my High School. I have experience tutoring a variety of math levels for the past two years. I believe that learning is something that should be made enjoyable and productive, and cannot wait to help you reach your educational goals.

I began my experience as an educator as a General Chemistry Teaching Assistant at Elon University. I then served two semesters as an Organic Chemistry Teaching Assistant. My responsibilities in these positions included aiding in the development of students' conceptual and laboratory skills necessary to succeed in the courses.In evaluation of these experiences, it is evident to me that I have undergone personal growth as an aspiring educator and researcher. Providing assistance to other students has given me insight to the inherent diversity through which a student's learning and comprehension may be facilitated. My ability to articulate concepts, techniques, and protocols of varying degrees of complexity has matured tremendously over the course these experiences. I have seen the tremendous diversity of means through which students achieve comprehension and held myself to a high level of dynamism as an educator in order to match my approach with the unique nature of each individual's learning process.One of the keys to my success as a chemistry student is my university's emphasis on conceptual understanding as opposed to rote memorization. The development of a sense of intuition based on fundamental principles lends itself greatly to approaching novel problems and serves as a basis from which complex topics are most effectively built. Emphasis of this approach is invaluable to many subjects in math and science such as Organic Chemistry, where the large volume of content renders rote memorization impractical and ineffective.

A talented go-getter who is passionate about education and learning, communication and media, and literacy for all.

I am currently pre-med working towards a degree in Biology with a minor in Asian Studies at Elon University. I tutor Spanish, English, and various other subjects. I am fluent in Spanish and love to share my language with others. My teaching philosophy is repetition and encouragement.The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you - BB King

I am a 2019 Elon University graduate with a bachelor's degree in English literature (concentration in Victorian literature and history) and will begin an M.A. program in the fall. I have served as a teaching assistant, a university Writing Center tutor, and a personal tutor for all ages. I am available to help with resums, job, internship, or fellowship applications, personal statements, college essays, grammar, and reading comprehension. Please see my subject specialties for a full list.

I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology & Experimental Neuroscience from Elon University, located in North Carolina. Shortly thereafter I began to work towards my PhD in the field of experimental neuroscience research. My strongest subjects include statistics, math, and the sciences. My favorite subject to tutor would have to be statistics, mostly because I have taken so many classes in this subject that it is like second nature at this point. Outside of my education, I am an avid golfer. As a scratch handicap, I went to college on scholarship to play for a Division I NCAA team.

I received a BS in Chemistry from Elon University in May of 2014. Since then I have pursued a career in the NFL (very short) and joined Penske Racing as a member of their pit crew. My tutoring experience before Varsity Tutors consisted of working for the athletic department at Elon and tutoring my teammates and other athletes in Chemistry. This is the field that I have the most passion and experience in and therefore my main focus as far as tutoring goes.What has given me success in tutoring in the past is finding multiple angles to look at and describe complex theories and problems. This gives the student multiple chances to have the information "click" for them and then apply it in the future.

I'm a graduate of Elon University in North Carolina. I studied international relations with an emphasis in Latin American studies. While in college, I was lucky enough to travel to 7 countries, and I have a huge appreciation for culture, travel and taking photographs along the way. After graduation, I taught ESL to high school students, helped start an education non-profit, and coordinated tutoring efforts for Title I low income schools for the Tucson region.When I returned to Texas, I worked with a local community college in the college access field to prepare students for college. I was a substitute for a bit, but now I am currently a certified 6th grade bilingual teacher in North Texas. I have taught in public schools for going on three years, teaching English/Spanish language arts, and now I'll be moving onto teaching math. I have been a tutor since I was a teen volunteer and have tutored Math, Spanish, and test prep.My teaching style is very easy-going! I want to make a personal connection with my students to understand what they like and how they think. I try to tie these all together with content to teach concepts and connect them to the real world, which is the point of education. In my opinion, education is needed to understand and make sense of our surroundings. I think my job as a teacher is to make education fun and relevant-not just something you have to memorize for a test and never remember again. Education is meant to impact lives and change them for the better!My family is from Puerto Rico, and I have been speaking Spanish my entire life. I have a dog and his name is Mo and he is the love of my life :-). I love to travel, be with my close friends and family and DANCE. I love working with students and have taught and tutored from 4th grade through college. I look forward to working with you and helping you be successful in school.

Since graduating with a Bachelor's in English from Elon University, I have traveled extensively and taught English to a wide variety of students. I started out teaching children aged 10-15 in Korea where I learned how to incorporate technology and multimedia materials to make lessons as engaging impossible and developed a holistic, project-based, interactive style of teaching. Later I moved to Europe where I got my Master's in Literature in Germany and began teaching adult learners and private clients of all ages English both in person and online. I was also a university English instructor to Japanese exchange students for courses such as Essay Writing, Advanced Grammar, Oral Presentation, and American Culture. I enjoy getting creative in developing lessons and getting to know my students in order to figure out the more effective way to increase their skills. I have a passion for all subjects related to English, particularly writing, but I also enjoy teaching a wide range of subjects.

Graduate of Elon University, I received a Bachelor of Arts in History and International Studies. I am most passionate about history, writing, and the social sciences with extensive work in research and writing methods and am eager to help students harness their inner curiosity and creativity. I have experience in education as a teacher, working with K-5th graders, as well as tutoring experience with high school students. My number one priority is to help students understand themselves and the world.

As a teacher, I love sharing my passion for language with students of all ages and from all over the world. Language is an incredible tool we all use every day to communicate. Learning how to do so in new languages inspires us to see the world in different ways. I've been a Spanish Teacher for 4 years in the classroom, traveled and studied throughout Central and South America, and really value the cultural exchange possible when you learn a new language. As a teacher, I developed my own curriculum which prioritizes learning that the student values and wants to do, and have had lots of success with it. I use strategies such as Organic World Language and Comprehensible Input that are driven by my students' interests.
