I will be graduating with my bachelors degree in early childhood education and special education in May of 2022. I love to teach all subjects but my favorites are reading, writing and math. I love to help any students who are in need of extra assistance. I would love it if you chose me to be your tutor!

My name is Ashlee Ogren. I'm a Freshman at Grand Canyon University working for my Elementary Education Major and Minor in Special Education. I love working with students and have a strong passion to do so and I can't wait to meet many of you!

Licensed Registered Nurse with a Masters of Science in Nursing with an Emphasis in Leadership in Health Care Systems. Seven years of experience as a registered nurse providing individualized care to various patients in a skilled nursing facility, plastic surgery office, and hospital/acute care setting. Committed to delivering quality patient care with patience, empathy, kindness, and passion. Over two years experience as a college professor/lecturer. Helping nursing students in the classroom, lab, simulation, and clinical setting to enhance skills and critical thinking for safe patient care. I am passionate about nursing specifically and I strongly believe helping students build a strong learning foundation will set them up for success.

As a dedicated educator with a Master's degree in Educational Leadership from Grand Canyon University, I have 11 years of experience in both tutoring and classroom settings. My passion lies in teaching elementary school subjects, particularly Math, Science, Social Studies, and Phonics. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to explore and ask questions. My approach is student-centered; I tailor my methods to meet individual needs and foster a love for learning. I am certified to teach in Louisiana, and I am committed to helping each child achieve their academic goals while instilling confidence in their abilities. .

I have a Bachelor's Degree from Arizona State University in English, and am currently almost finished with my Master's Degree in Secondary Education from Grand Canyon University! I'm currently student teaching at Centennial High School in an Honors English classroom. I'm an avid reader who's always up for a challenge! I would like to tutor anyone who needs help with their English class, including write papers and essay editing. This is something that I have always enjoyed, and would love to help others.I love to read, travel often, and hang out with my friends. I'm opening minded, and I believe that every student can learn, it just may take a different approach to get them there! Writing can be challenging for any student, so I strive to find a more approachable way to challenging subjects.

I graduated high school from Bakersfield Christian high school and went out to Arizona to now attend Grand Canyon University for a degree studying Special and Elementary Education. Teaching is a major passion for me because I love kids and want each student to find how they can be successful in life by finding their own passion. Through middle and high school, I tutored any elementary subject that was needed for the children I babysat for. For my friends that I tutored, I mostly stuck with math and history because those are the subjects I did best in. I don't have a specific tutoring style because I think it is best to accommodate for the students needs individually, not just assume what works for one child is going to work for another. Although a lot of my time is taken up with school and work, I also enjoy reading, painting, and anything that gives me an excuse to hang out with my friends.

I am passionate about helping students build confidence and develop string problem solving skills in mathematics. My teaching approach focuses on breaking complex concepts into simple, understandable steps and adapting lessons to each student's learning style. I encourage questions, critical thinking, and persistence. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a student gain confidence and achieve success in a subject they ones found challenging.

I have been a special education teacher for 9 years. I specialize in math, reading, and writing instruction for struggling students.

A doctoral prepared nurse with over 10 years of experience in the clinical setting. I also spent 2 years teaching as an adjunct clinical instructor for a local state college. I enjoying teaching our future nurses.

I have a background in applied management, but am working towards becoming a certified teacher. I have experience both as a tutor and also working with children in different settings. I understand how tough certain subjects can be for students since I've been 'that student' myself. For me, my most challenging subject was science. This experience has helped me to recognize the challenges children go through in their education. Furthermore, parents want to help and work so hard, but can easily become overextended while trying to help their children with homework or lessons. This is where I come in! I work directly with children and cater specific teaching methods and strategies to each individual. I think it's important to figure out what makes each student tick and use this to inspire them. It's easy to get frustrated, but together, we can overcome this and achieve your goals!

My name is Zack and I have a BS and MS in Biology from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ and have consistently been involved in conducting and writing scientific/medical research since 2016. Currently, my wife and I live in Upstate NY where we are both currently second-year medical students (MS2) and are about to begin our clinical rotations in Michigan in the Fall. I have joined the Varsity team because I have been a student that struggled and needed help in the past, so I can empathize with and appreciate the desire students have to want to improve. Through my past tutoring and teaching experiences over the last 7 years, I have loved seeing students finally grasp a concept they've had difficulties with, start enjoying what they're learning, and feeling confident in their knowledge and abilities. As I love having opportunities to serve students from all disciplines, I have mostly worked in academic coaching and graduate school preparation for pre-health majors. I am so excited to see how I can be of assistance to students that have the desire to improve and strive to take that initiative. It brings me a lot of joy to see students achieve their goals and feel confident in doing so.

Hello, my name is Carolyn L., and I have a sincere passion for teaching and learning. Therefore, as a teacher, I use my energy and love for English and history to inspire my students to enjoy the learning process as much as I do. I have enjoyed success in the areas of English Language Arts, Reading, and Reading Comprehension; therefore, I use creativity to engage the students I teach. I focus my tutoring on reading, writing, English, and all areas of history and social studies.

Before becoming a nurse I worked as a medical assistant for 10 years. It was during that time my passion and love for the medical field really blossomed. I am now a Medical Assisting Program Director instructing future MA's to love what they do and have a career, not just a job. I received my BSN from UAMS College of Nursing, my Master's from Miami and I am currently finishing my dissertation through Grand Canyon University. I enjoy tutoring pharmacology, medical terminology, anatomy & physiology, laboratory courses & skills, EKG, phlebotomy and preparation courses for the RMA/CMA licensure exams. I am also proficient in nursing fundamentals, pharmacology and med/surge. If you are struggling I am here to help!! It's never to late to turn things around.

Greetings,I have over 30 years of experience working with children on various levels. I began my journey working with children as a pre-teen babysitting neighborhood children. As an adult, I've broadened my horizons of working with children by earning my A.S in Early Childhood Development, B.S in Learning Disabilities, and M.A in Education Leadership. This has led me to be the full-time Special Education teacher I am today.I have educated students with Cognitive Impairments, ASD, ADHD, Learning Disabilities (in math and ELA), and Emotional Impairments, as well as but not limited to physical impairments.It has always been a pleasure working with our special needs population. Working with students that have different dis'ABILITIES' has taught me how to be patient, humble, and creative.I am grateful to have a career that I enjoy daily and improves the lives of other people!In my spare time, I enjoy being with my family, playing games, and watching movies.

Educating students for over 10 years has been a privilege. Particularly gratifying is the opportunity to witness my pupils progress in mathematics. After teaching math for nearly a decade, I completed my graduate work last year in Educational leadership with a follow up credential in administration. In the past, my students in mathematics routinely have returned to visit, sharing their continued successes following what was learned as a member of my classroom. I want to continue to help children "get it" as they are called on to rise to new heights in an increasingly competitive academic and occupational climate. I have decided to continue within the Varsity Tutors platform with the goal of increasing the scope of students I can assist in their math skills development.

I like to inspire students to their fullest potential. Encouraging them so they want to learn is a delight for both student and teacher. I have taught in the public school system for over 20 years, so I have lots of experience with all different kinds of learning abilities. Both my Master and Bachelor degrees are in education, this allows me to be able to provide the tools needed to meet students and produce growth.

I create an environment where students feel safe and at ease, a place where they do not have to worry about how they are perceived, and where it is good to make mistakes. I instill ethical and moral behavior and teach them tolerance of others. I also instill a love for learning based on rational and critical thinking. I teach them in a way to highlight problem solving and real life situations. I provide a challenging learning environment that is child-centered, well balanced, and aims to develop the "Whole Child" to the fullness of his or her potential. I seek to ensure that each child develops the appropriate knowledge, skills, and awareness necessary in preparation for future challenges. I seek to ensure that cultural diversity of our community and the needs of our global society are both understood and addressed.

Science is amazing! It explains the living and non living aspects of our world. It is also the study of the chemical and physical laws around us.

I am a graduate of Arizona State University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in film and media studies. Since graduation, I have worked as an educator, teaching high school English in Arizona; I have tutored children and adults in Phoenix looking to improve in English (as I am a certified Subject Matter Expert), and I have held revision workshops. While I tutor English, I am very passionate about this subject. In my experience helping struggling students, I have remarkable patience and a passion to make students succeed.

I am a full-time math teacher with eight years of teaching as well as tutoring experience in mathematics. My subject areas are elementary math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, and Geometry. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry and Biology from the University of Redlands and Portland State University. My Master of Education degree is from Grand Canyon University with an advanced mathematics endorsement. Math has a massive effect on student self-esteem. When students believe the negative narrative of being bad at math, their confidence level drops, and math anxiety develops. It is my passion to come alongside students and help them believe they are capable of learning difficult math concepts. My teaching philosophy is that through consistency and diligence, every student is capable of learning and can achieve success in education and life. I enjoy connecting with students and getting to know them personally. In my spare time, I teach myself classical piano pieces from Mozart, Schubert, and Chopin and dream of expanding my repertoire.

I'm passionate about teaching and working with students. I believe that we need to meet them where they are. Then we can build confidence using attainable goals. Looking forward to working with you!

Every person is created with purpose and my role is to help students develop the foundational skills they need to pursue and fulfill that purpose. Education is a means to equip students with a "tool belt" of essential skills like reading, writing, mathematical reasoning and social-emotional understanding.
