I am a Senior at Lipscomb University majoring in Political Science and International Relations. I also have a minor in Philosophy and Criminal Justice. I was born and raised in Colombia, so as a native Spanish speaker I have the knowledge and experience to teach this language, and as a college student I know the way students want to be approached and the importance of the involvement of the students in a class.I love tutoring History and politics, but especially Spanish, and I want to assist my students in reaching their full potential and achieving their goals, as well as in providing new ideas and perspectives for them.I want my tutoring sessions to be a dialogue because I think the best way to learn, especially a new language, is through a casual conversation with lots of questions asked by the student and by me, therefore I think it is really important to know closely the process the student is going through and provide particular approaches to particular situations.I've had experience in tutoring before. For a couple of months I volunteered to teach English to elementary school children in Colombia. I think that has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, because as a tutor you not only teach but you also learn from your students. Interacting with those children definitely opened my mind and made me want to share the knowledge I have with other people and at the same time learning from what the people have to teach me.

I have found that I actively try to surround myself with any and all things music. From various bands, performance opportunities, teaching music lessons and private theory tutoring. I am also actively studying music at the college level and have found a love for any and all things music. I hope to help students understand music theory and realize its usefulness. It is so relevant in classic and modern music. All we need to do is look through the correct lens to realize its potential and I hope to provide that lens.

As a passionate tutor with a Bachelor's degree in Law, Justice, and Society, and Philosophy from Lipscomb University, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive learning environment for my students. With over 2 years of experience, I specialize in AP English Language and Composition, writing for elementary, middle, and high school levels, and LSAT Prep (personally scoring a 171) My teaching philosophy centers on connecting with students through engaging discussions and personalized feedback, allowing them to express their unique voices in writing. I am motivated by the transformative power of education and take pride in helping students achieve their academic goals. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring philosophical texts, which continually enrich my approach to teaching.

My name is Jennifer, and I am an English teacher. I attended Lipscomb University and graduated in 2015 with a degree in English Education and French, along with a certification in ESL. At Lipscomb, I student taught at Overton HS in Nashville, TN and at ASOY in Cameroon, Africa. After graduating, I taught 9th grade English at Hillwood High School. I have had experience tutoring all ages, particularly in the subject of English. I would be happy to assist students in learning more about English.

I believe that ALL students are destined to succeed in education in their own way and their own terms. Sometimes it just takes others longer to grasp the information being taught to them and that is okay! I was one of those students and now I make it my mission to help those students that struggle the way I did academically. I succeeded and I know they will to!

I have a Bachelors in Psychology and a Masters in Library Science. I have 2 years experience as a tutor and have also taken coursework in education. I particularly enjoy tutoring math, writing, and science and working with students with learning difficulties like autism and ADHD, like myself!

I am a graduate of Murray State University and Lipscomb University. At Murray State, I received two Bachelor of Arts degrees in history and Spanish while at Lipscomb I received my teacher practitioner license. Since graduation, I have traveled extensively, teaching two years in a low-income public high school in Tennessee; three years in Spain teaching English while improving my Spanish, and also tutoring children from low income areas of Kentucky and small towns in Valencia. During this time, I also acquired my TEFL certification. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Spanish, English, and History. I have a strong belief in the idea that anybody is able to learn and those who struggle simply need help in approaching the subjects differently. I love to help prepare for testing and sharing strategies and tips that allow students to succeed. I love to teach language in ways that are both fun and usable in the real world. The goal is to advance and improve in a practical way while also preparing to achieve in any form of testing. I love the idea of helping students smash expectations and learn in ways they never thought possible before. In my spare time, I love reading and running! I also love to travel and learn more about new culture and food.

Having graduated from Lipscomb University with my bachelor's in Computer and Electrical Engineering, I have several years of experience studying and implementing engineering and mathematics concepts. While in college, I worked with students in various subjects, including physics, college algebra, calculus, chemistry, and engineering-specific courses. I love to tutor mathematics and physics, for it is in these subjects that the foundation of engineering is built upon. I also enjoy teaching problem solving to students! I have a passion for helping others understand material that is difficult or foreign to them, and I work hard to try and make the time I have with students meaningful and effective. I am currently a graduate student at Vanderbilt University pursuing my PhD in Electrical Engineering. My hobbies include singing, gardening, playing piano, and computers/robotics.

I am passionate about teaching concepts in a manner that is best for you. With 4 years of teaching special education, I have realized that education is not a one size fits all. No matter how much we try to make it that way.

After graduating Sycamore High School in Cincinnati, OH in 2016, I am currently a sophomore at Lipscomb University. I am working towards getting my Bachelor's degree in social work, with plans to obtain a Master's in school counseling.For a year and a half, I spent two days a week with a middle school-aged student. I helped her complete homework and study for tests of various subjects, including math and Spanish. My favorite subject to tutor is definitely Spanish because it has always been my favorite subject in school. It was something that I always enjoyed, and I loved to learn more about the language.With tutoring, I like to give the student a chance to show me what he or she knows first, so I can get an idea of what level the student is working at. If they are struggling in specific areas, I will work closely with them until it seems like they are starting to understand the content. If they just need a push in the right direction, I will be there to do that, but if they need content retaught to them, then I will provide that help as well.I don't know if I have any "hobbies," per se, but I enjoy baking, playing board games with my family and friends. I also enjoy traveling and becoming familiar with new places. I was raised to love baseball, and it's on my bucket list to visit every MLB park in America!I would describe myself as patient, and laid-back. I am simply here to help students where they're struggling, I am not here to get frustrated when someone may not understand the material! I am hopeful and confident that anyone can learn, but we just all learn differently.

I began tutoring as a senior in high school with a fifth-grade student at a local elementary school. After loving the experience, I continued spending my time mentoring in college through a program called Reading Friends. After graduating college, I joined Teach for America and began teaching at a middle school in Nashville. Last year I taught Social Studies, and this year I moved into teaching literacy. I will continue in this position next year as well.Not only do I have extensive experience tutoring and mentoring, but I also have experience that is varied. I have worked with different age groups under various settings, such as a more academic one in my own classroom and others that were more for guidance as with my college and high school experiences.

I believe all students can learn. My goal as an educator is to create lifelong learners through engaging and rigorous learning experiences.I have been a middle school teacher for 6 years and love my career. I work with students who speak many different languages and are from all over the world.Outside of teaching I have many hobbies. I enjoy cooking, reading and crafting.

Hello!My name is Kimberly, and I love to teach! I have taught Kinder, and 3rd grade, and currently provide reading intervention for 1st graders. I love elementary education, and I strive to be the best educator for my students. To achieve this I stay current by reading educational journals, attending conferences, and seeking out new and interesting ways of delivering lessons.

I owe much of the academic success I've enjoyed to the teachers I had at Smyrna High School, where I graduated as Valedictorian in May 2013.I took several AP classes which pushed and helped me to become a National Merit Finalist. After graduation from high school, I was awarded a full-scholarship to Lipscomb University, where I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering. I hope to use my studies to help those in the 3rd world with the necessities we take for granted.As a tutor, I believe the most important thing I can do for you is to push you to think on your own. I've tutored students before who simply wanted me to do their work for them, but that will not help you to learn at all. If you want to become self-sufficient, I will help you reach your goals. I tutor many high school and college level math/science courses including Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Differential Equations, and Physics. I have attained a 3.85 GPA in my 5 semesters at Lipscomb.Outside of school, you will often find me working on my car, photographing nature, or fishing. I cultivated a love of fixing things early on in college, and I refuse to pay a mechanic something that I enjoy doing myself. Getting outside is very important to me, especially since I tend to be cooped up in my dorm during the school year. Photography and fishing allow me to experience the alone time in fresh air that I need.

I am passionate about all students having access to education and ensuring they have an access point regardless of their primary language, disability, or background.

Additionally, I received a $50.00 gift card to be used for my personal use.I enjoy spending time with my family, especially on Sundays when we all gather at our house for Sunday dinner. I also enjoy quilting, sewing, and reading.

I believe firmly that to be a great teacher, you have to be a great student. When I first began tutoring middle school students through my church while I was in high school, I learned that learning works best when it is a two-way street. I love when my students give me feedback about where they are, as this helps inform me on the goals to work toward.I am a native Tennessean from a town in northwest Tennessee called Troy. I graduated from Lipscomb University with a double major in Communications and Spanish in 2013. I have lived in Honduras and Paraguay and made many trips to Mexico, and I am fluent in Spanish and teaching both the language and culture.

Hello! My name is Matthew, I'm an incoming junior at Lipscomb University in Nashville majoring in Mathematics and Psychology, and I specialize in tutoring students in mathematics. I worked at Mathnasium Math Learning Center in high school, where I tutored students ranging from 1st-12th grade, so I feel comfortable tutoring students of any age!

I am a former high school math teacher with 9 years classroom teaching experience as well as 3 years of individual tutoring experience. I have a physics teaching degree with a minor in math from Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN. I have a masters in education from Bethel University in McKenzie, TN. I have taught in 3 very different school settings throughout my career. I have taught algebra 1, algebra 2, integrated math 1, 2, and 3, IB math, and physics. I believe that all students CAN be successful in math and my goal is to help them realize their learning potential. My favorite thing about teaching/tutoring is when a student finally makes a connection and understands something that they previously were confused about. Seeing the lightbulb turn on and them begin to feel confident in their math abilities is why I do what I do.

I graduated from Lipscomb University with a Bachelor of Science degree, majoring in Biology, and from Volunteer State Community College with an Associate of Arts, focusing on English. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to use what I've learned to help struggling students. I see tutoring as a mutually beneficial relationship; my students can hone and strengthen their weak points, and I can hone my teaching skills and get more comfortable teaching in different ways, as every student is unique. I teach English as well as Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, and Geometry. In my free time, I enjoy reading (fantasy is my favorite genre, but I can't get enough of reading about outer space and our universe), doing logic puzzles, editing stories, and a good adventure game every now and then.

I have always been deeply passionate about education, and this passion has guided my career from the moment I earned my Bachelor's degree in Spanish Education from Lipscomb University.

I am committed to creating dynamic, engaging lessons that cater to diverse learning styles, drawing from the latest teaching methodologies to keep students motivated and challenged. My energetic and creative approach ensures that every classroom is a supportive and safe space for learning. I strive to make learning not only effective but also enjoyable, fostering an environment where students feel confident and excited to grow.
