Who needs tutoring?
No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.

I am a graduating senior and economics major from Boston, MA, and I'm currently attending Howard University. I've previously held internships at Bloomberg LP and ProShares. I tutor various topics including History, English, and Economics.What makes me a great tutor is my experience and my closeness to the work. Back home my mom owns a tutoring business that I often help out in. I also have experience tutoring athletes at my college as well. As a tutor I am able to recognize what a client needs specifically and use that to push them to reach their greatest potential.

I'm a tutor specializing in English and digital media, grounded in an ethos of collaboration and curiosity. I believe learning is most meaningful when it's driven by genuine interest, so I work with students to identify what excites them and build from there. Whether we're developing an essay, analyzing a text, or shaping a multimedia project, I approach our sessions as creative workshopsspaces to explore ideas, ask questions, and grow skills with confidence. I my MA in Journalism from NYU, and my BA in Journalism with and English minor at Howard University where I focused on how people share stories and make meaning together. My goal is always to support students in finding their voice, strengthening their critical thinking, and feeling empowered in how they communicate. Let's learn together in a way that feels engaging, collaborative, and uniquely tailored to you.
Hello, my name is Kelsie White, and I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Business at Howard University. With over 4 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in subjects such as Algebra, Elementary School Math, and Essay Editing, focusing on fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment. My teaching philosophy centers on building strong relationships with my students, as I believe that understanding their unique learning styles is key to their success. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support your academic journey!
Hello, my name is Destiny and I graduated from Howard University. I majored in Psychology with a minor in Biology and Administration of Justice. One of the most important lessons I've learned from school is the value of asking for help. This can be the difference between simply memorizing some facts and truly understanding the material given to you. In many cases, learning in a traditional school setting is not effective and students should feel free to reach out for extra guidance. I strive to be that source of guidance for all students who need it. I believe that everyone learns in their own way and that the key to helping someone else lies in finding their unique style of learning. I take great pleasure in finding those styles and using them to enrich students minds. My main areas of expertise are Psychology and English. Ive been reading at a college level since middle school and scored 5s on both AP English tests. I also scored a 5 on the AP Psychology exam in addition to receiving As in all my psychology classes. I have extensive experience with essay writing, essay editing, and researching. Other subjects I can assist with include Algebra I and II, Geometry, and SAT/ACT prep. Outside of class, I like to stay busy with school activities and hobbies. I spend most of my time playing the trumpet in my schools marching band or studying. But when I have free time, I typically catch up with my shows or read.
As a passionate educator with a Master's in Business Administration from Wake Forest University, I am dedicated to transforming complex financial concepts into accessible knowledge for my students. With experience in tutoring subjects such as Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting, and CPA preparation, I believe that each student has a unique learning style that deserves a customized approach. My goal is to create a supportive learning environment that encourages students to set achievable goals and realize their potential. By employing practical, common-sense teaching methods, I strive to inspire confidence and enthusiasm in my students, turning challenges into opportunities for growth.
Teaching is absolutely inspiring. Nothing beats the "ah ha" moment a student gets when he or she realizes that they can achieve what they deemed "impossible." People are capable of much more than they think, and, often, it just takes a little encouragement for people to reach new potentials. I want my students to make connections and discover how much fun learning can be.As a tutor I strive to engage, challenge, and inspire growth in my students.
To understand my perspective on education, it is important to know my background. I am the son of a former New York City administrator and educator. I started learning math at the age of three as I was enrolled in a Montessori school as a toddler. Knowing that the quality of the education students were receiving in NYC public schools, my mother sacrificed and sent me to a private parochial school from 1st-8th grade.I tested into Brooklyn Technical High School, one of the three specialized high schools in New York City, but opted to attended a school that had a pre-med program in my borough. I took anatomy and advanced placement courses and earned a National Merit Scholarship based on my PSAT performance.I then attended the leading historically Black university, Howard University, where I majored in Biology an minored in Chemistry. I went on to take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), attend graduate and medical school and I received Masters and Doctoral degrees in Genetics and Human Genetics.I matriculated through the first two years of medical school and successfully passed Step 1 of the United States Medical Licensing Exam of USMLE.In addition to the concepts covered in the classes and courses, I am also very familiar with the application processes and all of the standardized tests required for entry into both graduate and medical school as well as their respective prep courses.My teaching philosophy is that any student can learn any concept if it is presented in a way that is compatible with their learning style. The concept of learning style is one that I was introduced to rather late in my academic career. However, I think this is the key and a major reason that many students struggle in school. After being introduced to the concept, I could identify the reasons that I performed so much better in high school biology than I did in chemistry.With this understanding, one of the first things I ask student I tutor is if they know what their learning style is. If they don't, recommend they use a free online assessment to find out. If you are interested in working with me and do not know what your learning style is, please take a few minutes to take a learning style assessment and find out. You will be glad you did.
Currently working as an Environmental Engineer in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and obtaining a background in Chemical Engineering has granted me a diverse fundamental skill set in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Writing and English. I possess an extensive history of hands-on experience in these fields ranging from internships, academic research opportunities and professional development teams that gives me greater context in understanding applicability of these concepts. The benefit in selecting me as a tutor is my ability to effectively translate high-level concepts into fundamentals that can be understood by all. My focus is to motivate my students to develop mindsets that are not afraid to take on any academic challenge. As a tutor, it is my job to make my students feel as though they can conquer the world.
I am a graduate of Howard University and of the University of Michigan Law School. In addition to my law degree, I have received undergraduate degrees in English and Philosophy. I have also done graduate work in philosophy at Temple University. I have worked several years as a professional journalist. My work has been published in many newspapers and magazines including USA Today, the Nashville Tennessean, the Baltimore Sun, the Asbury Park Press, the Michigan Daily, the Army Times, and the Honolulu Advertiser. I have won several awards from state and national press associations for my work. I am also an adjunct legal studies professor in the Roher College of Business at Rowan University. Since 2003, I have tutored students preparting to take the SAT, GRE, and LSAT. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about English and Social Studies. For both subjects, my tutoring style is focused on ascertaining and addressing the student's specific needs, but tends to focus on improving student's ability to read texts actively and for understanding, teaching students to take and rewrite class notes, and learning to write effective essays. I have many hobbies and interests. I am a huge sports fan. I follow the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Phillies, Philadelphia 76ers, and the Michigan Wolverines. I am an avid reader of literature and history. I enjoy writing, cooking, biking and golfing. I love to travel. Most recently, I have traveled to Ethiopia, South Africa, and Switzerland. I plan to visit China this summer.
I've been an educator for over ten years and have worked in both public and non profit institutions. My experience is with students in math, social students, writing, reading, and literature of all ages from Pre-K through high school. As a traveler, teacher, and trail blazer, I work to build my students' confidence through practice and encouragement. I am excited to work with your student and help you reach your academic goals.For the last 4 years, I have been working as a teaching assistant during the school year for the Dept. of Education. As part of this role, I've supported students from all backgrounds and skill levels including high achievers, students with ADHD, students on the spectrum, and vocational students.
Hello! I am a recent graduate of Howard University. I received my Bachelor of Business Administration in Computer Information Systems. I have various experiences working with children for the past 5 years or so. As a volunteer at the Casserly House in Boston, Massachusetts, I tutored first to sixth graders in various subjects to strengthen academic skills as well as prepared lessons, activities, and discussion questions for children in the summer learning camp. I was also an active volunteer at the community center in Boston which allowed me to assist children during recess and field trips to promote a safe environment. I tutored middle school students to have them better understand class material and monitored students during arts and crafts projects to ensure safety and productivity. Lastly, I was a senior counselor with PBHA on Harvard University's campus for the summer where I managed my own classroom. Feel free to contact me!
I have a graduate degree and a lot of experience in Chemistry. In addition, I have minored in Physics during my undergraduate studies. I have taught undergraduate Chemistry classes for 5 years. I enjoy helping students learn chemistry and Physics. I teach the concept of Science (Chemistry, Physics)and make students practice problems for new ideas and skills. Finally, I teach students the application of the ideas of Science to the real world.
Science has always been a passion of mine, especially with regards to Biology. It's what drove me to pursue a degree in Biology, and eventually Medicine. Writing has also been a passion of mine. I love to write poetry, fiction, and expository essays. As I have had to write for coursework, college admissions, and medical school admissions, critiquing and correcting papers is something I feel very comfortable with.I like to utilize my creativity in ways that have meaning. As someone who has been through a lot of schooling, I know how difficult it can be to grasp certain topics, so it takes a creative approach. I have always been a proponent of hands-on and visual learning. But I also recognize that each student has their own special way of learning--some may like visual, some may like auditory, some may like movement.I have experience teaching high school science and informally tutoring peers in Biology when I was in college. Teaching high school, I worked with lots of kids who had ADD/ADHD or were on the autism spectrum. It was rewarding to see all my students, regardless of their learning abilities or background, finally understand a difficult or challenging concept. Should you choose me to be your tutor, I look forward to bringing that same feeling to you!
I am a master's student at Brown University. I graduated from Howard University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. While I tutor a wide variety of subjects, I am most passionate about Spanish, math, and English with over 5 years of teaching experience. I also have a Seal of Biliteracy, meaning I am able to teach in both English and Spanish. I hope to work with you soon!
I am a New York native and a graduate of Virginia State University. I am a young, hardworking student that will probably be a student long past receiving my Ph.D! I have a hunger for education and will never stop learning. My experiences range from Criminal Justice and Sociology to ESL and U.S. History! I hope to share this passion for knowledge with anyone willing to listen.
In my first year at Howard University, I found that my inclination towards the social sciences not entirely fulfilled. Although I am a proponent for the social sciences, it was important that I compliment this understanding with a major in the humanities. I decided to double major in Philosophy and Political Science, giving myself the breadth required to formally contemplate life and society. I needed philosophy to attain a grasp of personhood. This would allow me to reflect more deeply on the individual within structures that serve to hinder or enhance their life experience. In classes, I found myself pulling philosophical concepts and using them to analyze working political ideologies' efficacy in society.My studies alone have not made me the person I am. I am a social activist and created a nonprofit organization for a student-student mentoring program, the Urban Youth Alliance. As a leader of two programs pertaining to social justice (also being an Editor-in-Chief of on online magazine Watch that Negro), I have furthered my academic pursuits with hands-on experience. As director of UYA, a college coaching nonprofit organization for public high school students of color, I honed my skills as an administrator. I have proven successful in the design and implementation of many programs and similar to the goals held by Varsity Tutors and I understand the importance of mentorship within academic work.As a mentor and tutor, I want to emphasize my desire to coordinate my research with my creative writing. Like a thought experiment, prose can shed light on the realities of my suppositions. Not unlike how my favorite authors James Baldwin, Haruki Murakami explore the nuances of human life within their literature, I want to write novels that lend themselves to dialectical argumentation and answer profound questions through the narratives of characters that only exist on paper. In this way, I will support my research with prose to reach the broader population. I intend to become a professor who instructs their students to creatively engage with their passions. To begin this process, I will pursue a doctorate in philosophy immediately after attaining this scholarship.I am most interested in political theory and philosophy of the mind for the discovery of a quality life in the pursuit of happiness. I have been separating this interest into distinct parts to answer this question: how should society value happiness despite the diversity of identity and conflicting interests? Influenced by the Rawlsian theory of justice, I wrote a short story paralleling justice with happiness. The story examines a dystopian society that prioritizes the population's happiness over all other virtues. In this society, the government extends its powers to ensure happiness. It is the extreme conclusion to the extent of how political bodies can function as insurance of citizens' happiness. The protagonist and all other minors are raised separately from society and upon entering adulthood at eighteen years old are administered a psychological examination to determine their "happiness potential." If the results are unsatisfactory, they are prescribed mandatory pharmaceuticals to keep them content, an unideal end, but one that captures the extreme hypothesis.My most recent independent research is an evaluation of the necessary conditions for happiness, which I determine is forgetting one's emotional past, using an emotional state theory of happiness. The differing views of theories of happiness in the field today are external versus internal, gratification versus a psychological state. Although my current research seemingly focuses on only the psychological by using the emotional state theory, an individualistic theory, I recognize how outside experiences affect the emotional state. This creates a compound theory that acknowledges intersectional experiences.Still, the interaction between identity and happiness is ostensibly a psychological topic. Furthermore, sociological and psychological research has proven that people in society who suffer from multiple intersections of oppression are most likely to suffer from depression and other mental illnesses. My research becomes philosophical when I theorize a definition of happiness suitable to this reality and research to what extent societies can prioritize happiness knowing that one person's happiness can cause unhappiness for another. People have conflicting interests and with limited resources, it seems impossible to satisfy everyone. When transgender people are able to use whatever restroom with which they identify, to some extent their oppression is lessened, giving them a degree of contentment. Simultaneously, some devout Christian groups are staunchly against trans-rights and will be unsatisfied if this occurs. In a case like this, whose happiness is more important? Real world answers are necessary if we are to live in a content society. It is obvious that the world is obsessed with how to be happy. A plethora of self-help books discuss just this, but they rarely tackle how intersectional experiences affect psychological happiness. If real-world happiness is possible for all people within a given society, I will find how.
Bonjour!I learned French while living with a French family in Grenoble, and the rest is history. I immediately fell in love with the French language along with the challenge of learning a new one. With only my experience to thank, I have had the opportunity to conduct French interviews, "Bosser" in a French real estate firm in NYC, pass my DALF examination, and "enseigner" the language to my family members. I will be there to guide you every step of the way while making the experience relatable, relevant, and current. I look forward to learning with you soon!
Teaching and learning are two sides of the same coin. Students have to know that you care before they care what you know.
I love to teach because I love to learn. I help my students learn how to learn. Critical thinking is critical for passing certification and other standardized tests. Knowing what to do when you aren't sure of the answer is key.I passed the NC Real Estate exam on the first try.
I am excited to have a chance to assist my students to achieve success in their academics. There is no other feeling like working hard on something and finally accomplishing that goal. It is my pleasure to assist any student to achieve this kind of personal power!I have an general passion for learning new things that inspires my love of teaching. Also, I have taught in 8th grade, 9th grade, and 2nd grade classrooms, as well as provided support to students of varying ages and grade levels in other educational programs.Learning should be student-centered, meaning that everything that happens in a tutoring session should be tailored to the needs of the student.I have the experience, the drive, the passion, and the skills to help young scholars accomplish their goals. I am humbled by the opportunity to serve and look forward to meeting you and your scholar!
I have been a tutor for the past six years and have tutored students from kindergarten to college. I specialize in science and math but am very good at English composition and writing. Each student learns and understands differently, so I prioritize teaching in a way that suits them. That philosophy can apply to their learning style but also their lifestyle. I've found that this comprehensive approach helps students feel less intimidated and allows them to build confidence as they tackle challenging material. The process of breaking down complex concepts, improving students' performance, and self-assurance is why I love tutoring.
I am currently a Senior Chemistry major student at Howard University. I transferred from Prince George's Community college where I majored in General Education. While at school, I enrolled into the AVID tutoring program, STEM collegian and SIR student programs. Through these platforms, I was exposed to many activities of leadership and community service. The AVID tutoring program was most significant because, I was able to reach out to middle and high school students who needed help in math.My effectiveness as a tutor comes from my ability to communicate and listen attentively to each individual's needs. Given the fact that everyone has different levels of comprehension, I aim at understanding the specific area of weakness and strength for each individual. I then start from what you know and understand easily to what seems to be confusing or difficult to understand. I also make sure that as soon as a concept becomes clear, we move on to solve as many problems as possible relating to that concept for more understanding.I acquired most tutoring skills at PGCC and HU math labs (the schools I attended). The math labs were used primarily for helping students finish-up assignments on time, improve grades in math courses, prepare for math placement exams and get an overall understanding of any subject matter relating to math. At these labs, I did a work-study program and served as a volunteer for 20 hours every week. I helped college students get better grades, get a better understanding of the subject matter and complete their homework in a timely manner. My joy and satisfaction came from the feedback I got from students who would say "you helped me get an A on my exam" , "you helped me pass this class" and many students said "math isn't that hard." I specialize in tutoring the basic concepts/courses in math which I believe is the basis for getting a good grasp of the subject matter. I grew up loving math because I spend hours in my early years in school trying to understand the basic concepts and once I got a hold of certain concepts, it set a tone for higher level math and made it seem so easy. Easier than English. I love tutoring all Grade school courses in math and Pre/intermediate and college Algebra.
I am third-year MD-PhD student at the University of Pittsburgh. I attained my Bachelors of Science from Howard University in Biology and Psych and Chem double minor. I have always had a niche for ensuring those around me could understand what I understood even if that meant looking at everything from a different angle. My primary tutoring experiences have been with peers in some of my more difficult classes or more frequently helping my nephews/nieces with homework ensuring they can perform well on exams after I assist them. My best-tutored subjects are Elementary and Middle school math as I tend to take an approach that involves re-analyzing the problem and ensuring the foundation is there before re-attacking the problem. I also have passed my first board exam in medical school, Step 1 and offer tutoring services for that as well. As a side note, I do have a certification in Youth Mental Health First Aid that included training on how to deal with related issues that may arise.
Hi! My name is John, and I'm a dedicated English Language Arts tutor with over five years of experience. I have a deep love for both reading and teaching, and I get a lot of joy out of building relationships with students and supporting them to achieve their academic goals. A little bit about me: I graduated from Howard University in 2022 with a Bachelor's Degree in English, and I am currently an English Literature PhD candidate at UCLA, where I'm working on my dissertation. I developed a love for teaching while working as a tutor and instructor at UCLA, and I'm hoping to work as a teaching professor or a high school teacher once I finish my program. I can help students in any English related areas, including writing, reading comprehension, and AP test prep. I can assist students with coursework or design my own lesson plans to meet student needs. In my free time, you can usually find me reading in a coffee shop, hanging out with my friends, or skateboarding around Los Angeles.
I received my Bachelor of Arts in English and Spanish from Howard University and worked as an educator and as a communications administrator for several years post college. During my career as a communications administrator, I enrolled at Massachusetts College of Art and Design in pursuance of my Fashion Design Certificate. My education from MassArt inspired me to become a wardrobe consultant and to found A Balanced Wardrobe LLC. Though I've transitioned from academia to business and fashion, I still rely heavily on my reading and writing skills. These skills transcend all professions, as they are fundamental to our ability to learn and to communicate effectively on paper and in-person. During my years in education, I engaged with many students who struggled in reading and writing, and typically, these same students struggled in other subjects; in math they struggled to read word problems and in science they struggled to write their lab results. Working with these students gave me first-hand experience at how to help students strengthen their comprehension without hurting their confidence. Over time, I found that patience, consistent positive reinforcement and persistent redirection are key, and it is these same techniques that I utilize with my Varsity Tutors students. Without reading and writing skills, I would have never been able to traverse so many different fields and discover my passion, and through tutoring, I hope to help my students achieve the same.
I am a graduate of St Matthews University School of Medicine. From St. Matthews, I received my Doctorateof Medicine. I received my Bachelor of Science, with the focus in Mathematics, from Howard University.Since graduation, I have practiced medicine in Jamaica and taught mathematics in New York City. While Iam able to tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite is mathematics. I love math and I am passionateabout helping students master mathematical concepts. More particularly I try to instill a similarenthusiasm for the subject within my students by showing them how math can be applied to benefit them in their real lives. I try to build on their confidence in their mathematical ability while emphasizing howthe process of reaching their academic goal can be a lot of fun. In my personal time, I enjoy runningand traveling.
I was trained in the Army to be a combat medic and LPN. I went back to school thanks to the post-9/11 GI Bill. I graduated from Howard University with honors and passed the NCLEX-RN on the first try. I look forward to helping the nursing field grow this my contribution. We need strong and compassionate nurses, and I am here to help.
Hello! My name is Kyera Phillips, and I am a second-year architecture student at Howard University. My agenda as a tutor is to focus on getting students build confidence in their reading, writing, and math capabilities and to help them truly understand the subject at hand. I have 5 years of experience working with children ages 5-12, and have previously been an instructor for elementary students as well as an instructor at an art school.
As a high energy personality who loves to help other people meet their goals,I takes pride in being a part of someone else's success story. I graduated from Howard University with a major in Economics and a minor in Math. Early in my academic career I had a desire to invigorate others with knowledge.I have tutored in various math subjects from middle school level to Pre-Calculus level. I gained this experience working as a middle school teacher's assistant ans a an on campus peer tutor. I believe in learning by doing. Have a student create a question through which they can find the answer builds another level of understanding and comprehension. being able to work through a problem is one thing, but true understanding is another.During the day, I work in corporate America. Outside of the office, I enjoy creating and learning about art. I also spend a portion of my free time giving back to the community that made me who I am today. I look forward helping students enjoy math as much as I always have.
I first started tutoring as a sophomore in high school, helping kids younger than me get through some of their tougher classes. When I was in college I continued tutoring after approached by my Biology and Chemistry professors. The one thing I enjoy most about tutoring is helping someone to achieve that breakthrough moment. Two heads are often better than one. When you get stuck on a particular concept, it's great to have someone who can help you out of that rut!
As an individual, I am passionate about assisting students in being their best selves in different avenues of life, especially academics. Seeing young people become confident in a subject that they previously had difficulty in is inspiring and motivates me to help children master academics. I graduated from Howard University with a Bachelor's in Psychology. I am currently working on a Master's at Montclair State University in a Counseling program with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health. I tutor elementary school and middle school level mathematics and ELA. My favorite subject to tutor is Math because the rules are easy to explain and breakdown. My teaching philosophy is to ensure that the student would be able to complete the assignment by themselves. Personally, I enjoy reading, drawing, and painting as hobbies.
I would have to say that all of my education since grade school has focused on math and science. I went to Michael E. DeBakey High School for Health Professions in Houston, Texas. It was there that I really found my niche in both science and math, where AP Physics and AP Calculus were my favorites. I later went to Howard University, in Washington D.C., where I majored in Biology, but I later discovered that I didn't quite satiate my curiosity for science. After college, I went to school part-time, at the University of Houston. While there, I completed several classes, such as Biochemistry I, Biochemistry II, Endocrinology and Human Physiology.Soon after, I was presented with the opportunity to teach at a local charter school, here in Houston. I first taught Chemistry, as a 10th grade long-term substitute and was later asked to stay to teach 9th grade Algebra. While teaching, I focused on the various learning styles of my students and played upon that constantly. While teaching, I set a new goal to continue to teach until I retire.Recently, I received a Masters of Arts in Biotechnology from Columbia University in the City of New York. While there, I continued to fulfill my love for the sciences and took several more science classes, such as Developmental Biology, Neurobiology II, and Molecular Pharmacology. After completing my last semester, at Columbia, I found that I have taken nearly thirty science classes at both the undergraduate and graduate level. I will now use all this information to teach as an adjunct faculty, in the Biology department, at a local community college. In the Spring 2013, I will teach Anatomy & Physiology I and Nutrition.Now, while tutoring, I simply wish to translate my love for both science and math to my students.
I am your trusted Tutor, having worked with hundreds of students, on the Varsity platform. I specialize in helping students grasp Basic and Advanced Options concepts, test taking strategies that build mastery instead of memorization and techniques that guide students across various licensing exams. I have a conversational approach that I pair with my knowledge of the various course materials to make common sense of what appears to be impossible. I will use KAPLAN, STC and the Knopman Marks platforms to ensure that you get a multitude of perspective along your journey to mastery. As a financial professional, I look forward to helping you to master the information with a keen attention to detail and your willingness to approach this learning process with an open mind. I look forward to helping you to meet your specific needs and to foster an environment for continuous growth.

I am a New York State Certified Teacher in grades 1-6. I received my M. Ed from Mercy College. I have been teaching for the past 10 years and I have taught grades 4-6, and 8th grade. I spent 7 years alone in 5th grade where I developed my own curriculum on fractions. There are 4 presentations on fractions each covering all 4 operations. Each day's lesson is embedded with videos of me giving a tutorial on how to solve the specific type of problem we are addressing.A school is a place that should be fun and engaging for all parties involved. I create content so the classroom structure is more student-centered and use apps to engage scholars. No subject should be stressful especially for a 10-year-old.My undergrad degree is in Theatre Arts: Acting from Howard University and I spend my free time writing and shooting movies.
I am a graduate of the University of Maryland College Park, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a focus on political rhetoric and my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, and Howard University School of Law where I received my Juris Doctor. After graduation, I traveled extensively and took time, when available, to tutor students in a variety of subjects. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Political Science, and History. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. I look forward to helping you advance in your studies.
I am a graduate of Howard University and Howard University School of Law. I have a B.A. in Political Science and a J.D. I am most passionate about tutoring in writing and law. Having taken a fair amount of high-stakes standardized tests through my academic and professional career, I prefer to take a student-centered approach that addresses anxiety and self-doubt while also making strides towards the student's goals.
I began my career in education as a tutor. As a college student at Howard, I woke up early on Saturdays to work with my small group in math. While I can't say that I loved waking up early, I loved working with my kids! After that I was hooked. Helping students feel brilliant was something I had to do every day!So, after I graduated from Howard University with a Bachelors in Business Administration, I received my Masters from Georgia State University in Early Childhood Education. I taught 5th grade math, science and writing. I then transitioned into working with struggling students in small group and coaching teachers. I love giving my teachers strategies to help students feel smart.While coaching teachers is my role, I never stopped tutoring because there's nothing like hearing my kids shout "Ohhhhh!" after doing math they never thought they could handle. I think most kids struggle in math because they think they can't memorize all the steps. I work hard to help students find strategies that make sense to them. When my students see that there are so many ways to get to the answer, they become mathematicians.When I'm not teaching, I am building towers or playing train sets with my toddler! We have a blast. I love singing. I prefer to be curled up with a good book over shopping. I enjoy dinner with friends or my husband. Game nights are my favorite. When the weather warms up, my favorite place to be is the beach or the pool. Love being in the water!I'm looking forward to working with you. Can't wait to help you see how smart you truly are!
