Award-Winning Tutors from Florida International University

I am a chemistry graduate from FIU. I have tutored elementary children while doing my bachelors degree. Since graduating, I have tutored high school students in physics, SAT math and ACT science. I start my Doctor of Pharmacy degree at the University of Florida this fall. I use hands-on learning to tutor, and encourage students to like the STEM field.

Throughout my undergraduate college career, I have found a passion in tutoring and teaching. Imparting knowledge, as well as guiding individuals in the right direction with regards to achieving their academic goals are two things that make me happy. I have had the experience of teaching and tutoring children from the age of 4 years old to the age of 17 years old in both the United States and China; such a wide range of age and culture has allowed me to develop an adaptive approach to tutoring individuals. My strength, with regards to tutoring for the varsity program would be in the International Baccalaureate subjects, because of the fact that I have gone through the program myself and have also received the diploma. In addition to that, my education includes a BA in International Relations, a minor in East Asian Studies, a second minor in Hospitality Management, and a certificate in Chinese Studies.As a seasoned, adaptable, and patient tutor I strive to work together with my students, in order to help them achieve the best learning experience possible. I hope to serve as an effective guide on the path that is their academic learning process; should they encounter any obstacles or bumps, I will be there to help them effectively get past them. My student's success is my success.

I'm passionate about helping students because I believe that one of the reasons why humans exist is to continuously expand our knowledge! I've always loved working with students of all ages and levels; being able to provide new knowledge and facilitate learning has helped shape me into the passionate educator that I am today! I received my Bachelor of Music and my Master of Music from Florida International University's School of Music. My specialty is in music, voice, Music Theory, Audition Prep, and piano. Since I did extensive research for my masters degree, I also tutor in English (high school and college), writing, and essay editing. I also speak Spanish fluently and took A-Level Spanish in High School. My favorite subject to tutor is vocal technique, since that is my specialty! I spent my higher education honing my craft as a Classical Vocal Performance major. I believe that, as a teacher, it is incredibly important to encourage critical thinking and self evaluation, regardless of the subject being taught. As a teacher, I always ask my students to provide feedback for their own performance so that we can discuss and critique together, which helps stimulate critical thinking. Outside of academia, I love to read and attend plays/musicals. I'm also a huge fan of all sorts of film genres. I thoroughly enjoy the arts and consider them to be an integral part of our culture and society.

I've been in education for over 15 years. In those years I have taught elementary, middle, and high school as well as college credit courses. My experience comes from having my Bachelors in Elementary Education, and Masters in Reading as well as in Educational Leadership. I look forward to working with you to help you achieve your goals.

When I was a teenager, I hated school. I was unable to see the connection between what I was taught in school and the real world, so I found most classes boring, particularly math and science. As a result, most of my grades were Cs and Ds. At some point, I started to face the negative consequences of my lack of interest and decided to give a try to my math and science textbooks. With the help of a very smart friend who introduced me to the world of mathematics, I soon discovered a new world, one in which I could learn as much information as my brain could process just by reading books and forcing may brain to think critically.In high school, my passion for mathematics and science skyrocketed when I became aware of the role they play in solving many of the challenges our current society faces. Many students struggled with these subjects because they never practiced self-learning. Instead, they completely relied on their instructor's teaching style (which wasn't always coincident with theirs). I enjoyed these subjects, however, because not only I learned to think critically but I also learned to see them as a way to understand and describe our physical world and not merely as an isolated set of facts and formulas. The results I obtained from self-learning- reflected in my salient grades in mathematics and science classes- made it clear that I had to pursue a career in math or a pure or applied science. I realized that my strengths lie in using theoretical knowledge to develop useful products that have the potential to improve society. I also discovered that because I strive to understand the concepts and not only the algorithms, I was able to explain difficult concepts in an easy-to-understand way.Off I went to college and opted in for mathematics as my first program of study. However, soon after I changed this program to Mechanical Engineering as It not only would give me the tools to understand the universe, but I would also learn how to use these tools to design and build useful products. Within this field I developed a special interest in Aerospace Engineering which led me to take a few extra courses to obtain a professional certification in aerospace they were offering. In these courses I learned about flight mechanics, aircraft structures, gas dynamics, propulsion systems, and finite elements. I also developed a marked interest in Mechanical Design and Control Systems where I was exposed to many challenging projects that helped me consolidate and expand the theoretical knowledge acquired in class.In my senior year of Mechanical Engineering, I took a class called "mechatronics" that got me intrigued about Electrical Engineering as it required knowledge from mechanics, electronics, and computer programming. After a thorough look at the Electrical Engineering curriculum, I decided to take on the new challenge. I have not regretted it. I have learned so much about logic design, microelectronics, analog and digital circuits, power systems, communications systems, control systems, and many other subjects that I find it hard to decide what it is I want to do when I graduate, although I feel strongly about Aerospace and Control Systems. However, of one thing I'm sure: I want to keep learning and I want to transfer my knowledge to other students. I want to do a master's in electrical or mechanical engineering at some point in the future, but I first want to spend some time applying the technical knowledge learned in school in the design and implementation of useful products as well as tutoring some of my favorite school subjects

Education has always been a big part of my life. In graduate school, my instructors would often ask me to work with other students in class who needed assistance with the current lesson. This gift of being able to help others resonated with me and I realized very quickly that everyone does not learn in the same way.To tell you a little bit about me, I have over 8 years of working as a Bilingual Speech-Language Pathologist. I'm also certified as a Registered Behavior Technician. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I specialize in a number of subjects (articulation, phonology, receptive and expressive language, swallowing, autism, AAC, etc).I am a patient, kind tutor with a knack for easing anxiety. I understand that students retain best what they do themselves. For this reason, my tutoring philosophy is to allow the student to go as far as he or she can alone and then give the tools necessary to figure the rest out together. This process continues until the student feels confident doing the work alone. I often incorporate motivating activities into my tutoring session to help the student achieve their goals.I currently accepting students to be tutored in the following areas/skills: PRAXIS SLP, articulation, reading, grammar, vocabulary, etc.Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to tutoring you.

I earned my Master's degree in Professional Behavior Analysis from Florida Institute of Technology. I am currently a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and have obtained most of my experience working with children and adults with developmental disabilities. I have worked with adults that have a variety of psychiatric diagnoses in improving maladaptive behavior to replace with appropriate behavior. I also have experience working within the school system with children and adolescents, as I hold a minor in education as well. I enjoy helping students reach their learning objectives by letting the student lead the lesson and be part of the discussion. I believe that for the student to achieve effective learning and progression that they must be included in the lecture. Behavior Analysis is my passion, and seeing students comprehend the content is personally gratifying for me. I believe that student achievement is a direct reflection of the teacher. If the student is achieving their learning objectives effectively, then I have done my job.

I've been an admissions counselor for the past 15 years and it's been an honor to help students achieve their educational goals. My ambition though is to prepare students for college and/or University through writing/english. I hold two graduate degrees, one in Humanities and the other in Visual Arts. I'm working towards becoming an Art History Professor for a College or University. It's never too late to do what you love! I love writing about art and inspiring others! In my Visual Arts degree I concentrated in Photography and I'm more than happy to teach you the basics and help you create an online portfolio. My main emphasis with Tutoring is English as it is an important part of everyday life. You need writing to even apply for a job and express yourself confidently. English is important for writing a story, persuading, informing, or educating. You'll never know what others have to say or be able to express yourself otherwise. I also hold a Bachelors in Business Administration and can also help with business writing. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me for help in writing, grammar, citation, or anything with english or business related.

Hi! I had difficulties in classes and school growing up and understand the importance of having support and encouragement to move forward and gain confidence. I have a big heart and a desire to help others empower themselves through guiding with patience and empathy. I am a non-smoker, music and animal lover and also love to read and continue to learn. I have a Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling and an AA in Music theory and vocal performance. My approach is non-judgmental and I enjoy finding creative and fun ways to help students and client's reach goals. In my counseling field I have provided education classes to clients from children to teens. Throughout college I volunteered as a tutor for underprivileged children and assisted with reading, writing and math homework and have continued to assist students of all ages with homework, test prep and projects. I look forward to the opportunity of meeting with and working with your loved one.

I am a licensed attorney in Florida and a highly-experienced tutor, with over six years' experience teaching English, Literature, writing, and test-prep, and over two years' experience and 1500 hours teaching over 40 students LSAT, law school prep, and bar prep.I scored in the 99th percentile on the LSAT after one month of self-study, and was a Soia Mentschikoff Scholar at the University of Miami School of Law, which I attended on a full academic scholarship.After my 1L year, I was first in my class of over 400 students, having the only perfect 4.0 GPA. I graduated summa cum laude, and was nominated to the prestigious Order of the Coif upon graduation.I passed both the Florida and Multistate Bar Exams after less than one month of self-preparation and practiced as a commercial litigator for three years before turning my attention to LSAT, law school, and Bar tutoring. I am currently developing my own LSAT prep materials, pre-law school prep courses, law school tutoring materials, and law school finals workshops.I am dedicated to helping my students excel in every aspect of their education. I am passionate about learning and I love helping students learn how to learn. My students' success is my highest priority.

Enthusiastic tutor ready to tackle any questions you have in the Life/Biological Sciences! Currently studying for my MCAT to pursue medical school and become the doctor I have always dreamed to be. I have been teaching Biology throughout my 4 year career as an undergraduate student as a Teacher Assistant and Laboratory Instructor. In my sessions, we'll be saying GOODBYE to the boring books and HELLO to a fun class filled of active learning! What do you say? Ready to learn some Biology? :)

You have the right to have fun. You have the right to be different. You have the right to make mistakes and you have the right to question everything. Only then you will meet me in the land of love. I am thankful you chose me as your tutor.

I'm a younger tutor who is currently now in college. I received 5's on both my APUSH and A.P. United States Government and Politics exams when I was in high school, so I am definitely equipped and have a fresh memory of the knowledge needed to receive a high score in both subjects. I currently major in International Relations, so my knowledge on U.S. history and the government expands past the knowledge of these classes, guaranteeing my students a high score on their exams.

As a dedicated educator with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Florida International University, I am passionate about igniting a love for learning in my students. With over 5 years of tutoring experience and a solid foundation in classroom teaching, I specialize in College English, High School Writing, and Special Education. My teaching philosophy emphasizes creating a supportive and engaging environment tailored to each student's unique learning style. I believe that effective communication and trust are essential for academic success. Beyond tutoring, I am an avid reader and continually seek innovative educational methods that inspire my students to achieve their full potential. My commitment to their growth drives my practice and fuels my enthusiasm for teaching.

For me, teaching isn't just a job it's a passion. I've been coaching and teaching for over 20 years, and I still get goosebumps every time I see a student light up when they "get it." Watching you grow and blossom is one of the greatest joys of my life. My approach is simple: I meet you where you are, and if one method doesn't work, I'll keep adjusting until we find what clicks. Every student's journey is unique, and I'm here to make sure you feel supported every step of the way. My journey began with a love of learning and performance. I earned my degree in English Literature from Florida International University and studied music and voice in Milan, Italy, which led to an international award-winning career in opera and music theater. Those experiences taught me that confidence and charisma aren't gifts they're a skill set anyone can learn. Whether it's helping someone overcome stage fright, nail their presentation, or refine their vocal technique, I love helping people find their voice literally and figuratively. I tutor a wide range of subjects, from Business Marketing and Writing (I'm a bestselling author) to the Performing Arts. But my favorite? Public Speaking. There's nothing like seeing a student transform their fear into confidence. Presentation skills don't just help you professionally. They give you a sense of personal empowerment that can change your life. When I'm not teaching, I'm usually practicing yoga or diving into lifelong learning. I'm always exploring new ways to heal, grow, and help others do the same. Whatever your goals are, I can't wait to help you achieve them.

I am a graduate of Florida International University earning a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering in 2008, and Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya with a Bachelor of Science in Optometry in 1996.My style of tutoring is quite flexible. I like to adjust to the learning needs of the student, because each person learns in a different way. Each subject is also different and I tutor many, ranging from Algebra to Spanish. I am originally from Barcelona, Spain so I really enjoy conversational Spanish and also Catalan if you are interested!Currently I am working in the field of Data Analysis, and I am located in the South Florida area.Other than tutoring, I like exercising a lot. I've been involved with sports all my life so I run, bike ride, play tennis when I have a chance, etc.I hope we can work together and I can help you achieve your academic goals!

Hello, my name is Tabassum or Tab for short. I am a graduate from Florida International University with a degree in computer science. Since college, I've been involved in programs in helping young students become exposed to the tech field and get an interest in it early on. As a student myself, I found a shortage of programs or mentors at such an early age. Because of this, I have worked with Coding Minds Academy and Code/Art in helping young children learn about tech through creative platforms. My goal is continue making a change and become a mentor going forward. In my spare time, I love to draw and enjoy going on walks or runs during the day.

Hi there fellow scientist!I have been working in the field of behavior analysis as a trainer/educator for more than 5 years. I am looking forward to support you in your learning journey.My passion for self improvement also led me to become a yoga teacher and inner development coach.Teaching Spanish is one of the most fun things I could do. I lived and traveled to many Spanish speaking countries and not only learned the nuances of Spanish between them but also their culture and traditions. I promise you that you will learn more than just how to communicate in Spanish if you choose me as your teacher.

As a lifelong educator, my goal is to make the process fun, relevant, and exciting. Helping students find value in what they do is important as is the moment in which students have their "aha" or lightbulb moment, when a concept is mastered!

Education is a pursuit of knowledge proven through academic excellence. This definition does not capture the broader experience and formative effects on a persons physical ability, character, and mind.My start in tutoring was for student organizations in chemistry and mathematics as well as organizations I led, including Panther Linux User Group. It wasn't until I was recommended for the Learning Assistant Program in Florida International University to tutor Calculus, that I became responsible for a classroom of students for semester-long periods and tutored professionally.I have a competitive spirit proven from two years in intercollegiate competitive programming contests representing and sponsored by Florida University International, communication skills from years in teaching, student organizations and sales, and a can-do attitude.

I enjoy helping students advance in their academic journey and in their career. I am passionate about health and have a PhD in Public Health from Florida International University, an MS in Dietetics and Nutrition from Florida International University, and a BSE in Exercise Science and Health Promotion from Florida Atlantic University. I have been working with undergraduate and graduate college students for about 6 years. I am also a Registered and Licensed Dietitian. I have provided tutoring for the credentialing exam for Registered Dietitians (RDs) and was the Program Director for an ACEND-accredited Bachelor of Science in Dietetics and Nutrition Program, which lead to the RD credential, for 3 years.I have expertise in the Microsoft Office Package including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. I am also an expert in Microsoft Outlook functions.I am enthusiastic about tutoring in the following subjects: nutrition, public health, exercise science, math, research fundamentals, and writing including thesis and dissertation writing and APA formatting and citations.My tutoring style is flexible. I enjoy meeting the student where they're at in terms of pacing and style of tutoring. For example, while some students appreciate hands on examples, others prefer demonstrations. While some prefer to come to a session with specific questions while others prefer to be given a specific calendar of tasks to work on day by day and so forth.I am excited to continue working with students and hope to get you excited about your educational journey soon!

I am an Electrical and Electronics Engineering student and aprofessional full-stack software developer.

I accepted this position and quickly became very interested in composite materials. I began to not only do research on the subject of composite materials but also began to write papers and present at conferences. Ultimately, I would like to obtain my PhD in mechanical engineering and pursue a career in academia.

Hi! My name is Ms.Angela and I have been an academic tutor for the last two years. With my experience in elementary/middle school English/Language Arts and elementary math, I have had the privilege of teaching a variety of students, helping them achieve academic success. I love making lessons engaging, supportive, and tailored to each student's needs. My goal is to create a comfortable space where students can ask questions, build skills, and actually enjoy the process of learning.

I am excited about the opportunity to join Varsity Tutors and help students achieve their academic goals. With several years of tutoring experience, I am confident in my ability to provide effective and engaging instruction. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment tailored to each student's unique needs. I am passionate about education and committed to helping students succeed.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Florida International University (FIU), where I majored in Biological Sciences and minored in Chemistry. I am currently in my gap year awaiting matriculation into medical school August of 2016. My first instructing experience was as a shooting line coach in the U.S. Navy, where patience and attention to detail served me well in improving my fellow sailor's skills. My academic instructing experience includes being a Peer Led Team Learning (PLTL) leader for science-based subjects, a Learning Assistant for Human Anatomy, and tutoring students in various subjects or for graduate school entrance exams. My favorite subjects are Biology, Physiology, Anatomy, and Biochemistry because I am intrigued by how the human body functions. I find it important to always facilitate a positive learning environment by being supportive, enthusiastic, and accessible. I enjoy teaching because it helps me better learn a subject, while connecting with people on a meaningful level as I help them succeed academically. In my spare time I enjoy playing soccer, reading, playing guitar, freediving, and travelling.

I am currently a Certified Public County school teacher. I earned my certification officially last year, and this upcoming school year will be my third year teaching at an elementary school. I am enrolled in Florida International University to obtain my Graduate Certification in Communication Sciences and Disorders, and I graduated with my B.A. from FIU in 2020. I am hoping to begin the M.S. of Speech-Language Pathology at FIU next year. I have always been about helping others and seeing them succeed, so I find tutoring and teaching to be extremely rewarding. On the side, I like to participate in research to attempt to discover new methods of helping others, such as discovering new forms of communication for those who cannot speak. I am currently a Pre-K ESE teacher in my county, and my first year teaching I did first grade math, science, and social studies. In middle and high school, I tutored a lot of students varying from 6-12th grade, so I have had my fair share of experience amongst a variety of age groups. I personally believe that learning begins once the barrier of fear and stress dissipates from the learners mind, so I aim to always maintain a safe and fun learning environment. I try to accommodate to each learner that I encounter in order to match their learning styles and find different real-life applications to concepts. I am able to tutor English, English writing, reading, math, and beginner to intermediate level Spanish. My favorite subjects to tutor are math and language because I see them both as a game; once you know how to solve it, you can fit the pieces together, rinse, and repeat!

With a Masters in Mathematics Education and four years teaching at the high school level, I feel well prepared to address the needs of a wide variety of students. My method consists of asking students the right questions so that the students can figure out the problems themselves. I model the best ways of thinking so students learn how to ask themselves the right questions when I am no longer by their side. I seldom have students rely on "tricks"; instead, students will learn the underlying reasoning so that they can extend their solving methods to new related problem types. I look forward to applying my years of tutoring and teaching experience to help many motivated students.

I view all of my students as unique individuals who learn best using their strongest learning style. I teach to their modality strengths to help foster academic success. It is important to make students aware of their learning accomplishments. Bolstering a student's self-confidence helps provide the foundation on which advance concepts can be taught. I believe strongly in the process of setting goals, meeting objectives, and continuous self-evaluation to further learning. My interest and enthusiasm for teaching and my students is what makes me an excellent teacher.
