Hi! I'm Emerson, a sophomore at Middle Tennessee State University studying psychology with minors in criminal justice and art history. I'm also a Division I track athlete. I've studied French since age five and earned my Seal of Biliteracy in French. I enjoy helping students build confidence in subjects like French, psychology, reading, writing, and study skills in a supportive and encouraging environment.

I have a master's degree in English from Wayne State University and a strong love for the use of proper grammar and punctuation in writing. I would love to help any student strengthen his or her reading skills and comprehension, as well as provide that student guidance on writing, researching, and properly citing essays.

I love reading and writing. My genres of preference are romance, fantasy, and sci-fi, but I'm open to reading any good story. All writers can learn from each other by helping each other whether it's through brainstorming or holding each other accountable for goals.

As a passionate educator with a Master's in Business Administration from Arkansas State University and a Bachelor's in English from Middle Tennessee State University, I am eager to share my knowledge in subjects such as English and supply chain management. While I have experience training associates in a professional setting, I am currently pursuing certification as an English teacher through the ArPEP program. My teaching philosophy centers around creating structured, engaging lessons that break down complex concepts into manageable steps, fostering a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions. I am particularly motivated by the opportunity to help high school students develop their English skills, as I believe that strong communication is essential for their future success. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring literature, which enriches my understanding of the subject and enhances my ability to connect with students.

I am a freelance writer specializing in content writing, editing, and proofreading. I have degrees in English, Russian, and Russian Literature with minors in French and History. I love to bring my expertise in language, reading, and writing to students who want to improve their skills and achieve their goals.

I'm a doctoral student studying rhetoric and composition with a focus on digital composition and cultural rhetorics. I have a strong interest in teaching reading and writing as well as several years of experience teaching them.

I am currently a student at Middle Tennessee State University finishing my last semester on a degree in Industrial Mathematics with a minor in Physics.I've always been interested in math education, be it helping classmates grapple the material, or as a tutor for a nearby community college. I try to explain material in a way that illuminates what's actually happening and connect it with what is already understood. What's better than seeing someone figure out the answer is hearing "Oooh, that makes way more sense. That's why we ____."

I am an instrument rated commercial pilot and a certified instrument flight instructor. I am a double major at Middle Tennessee State University, where I study to be both a chemistry teacher as well as a professional pilot.

I have been teaching for thirteen years now! I currently work in a K-12 private school in Tennessee.

I have a bachelor's degree in History with a minor in Anthropology, and I graduated with a 4.0 GPA. I love trying to understand the context of the people in history by attempting to see through their eyes. Culture and geography work hand in hand with history to provide insight into that context.

I have wanted to be a teacher in some form since I was a child. I love watching my students grow and realize their potential. I have taught second grade, fourth grade, and eight grade science. I have observed all classroom levels kindergarten through sixth grade and even had student teaching in those grade levels. I have a degree from Middle Tennessee State University in Interdisciplinary Studies K-6. I tutor the core subjects (math, English/reading, science, social studies) up until eighth grade. I also tutor for Admissions, College Application Essays, and Writing. My favorite subjects to tutor are math, science, and writing. I think science and writing are a lot of fun, and I love that math has a definite answer. I believe in relationships first and want to build a strong relationship with my students before we get down to learning. I believe students learn best from people they like and people that are funny or personable. I like to laugh and bring humor to my teaching and help understand where students are at so I can bring them closer to their goal. When I'm not teaching, I am taking care of my family, enjoying a nice coffee, growing flowers and plants, and finding a new tv show to watch.

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. -Albert EinsteinAfter completing 4 years of work experience as a business valuation analyst and level 3 of the CFA program, I have taken some time to travel (before Covid) and begin teaching online.My expertise is in options, futures, forwards, swaps and other financial derivatives, which I studied both at Middle Tennessee State University and the London School of Economics. I gained valuable tutoring experience in university after being offered a position in the finance lab as a head tutor, and have since found that those skills have translated well to helping business students thrive at Varsity Tutors.While I also tutor other subjects including Spanish and College English, I have found working with professionals seeking designations or motivated college business students looking to get ahead to be a great fit for me.I now work in business development for a venture capital firm whose operators have created over $3.0B in exit value. I help make sure capital flows to the best and brightest entrepreneurs, and that risk-seeking investors are properly rewarded for their bets.I look forward to helping you advance.

Teaching ExperienceI am a life-long learner and enjoy assisting students of all ages, with all sorts of subjects, developing that same desire. The desire to question, the desire to know that you know, not just that the instructor says that it is so. The ability to know accounting, to engage in successful public speaking, to start that business, to develop that presentation, is within the reach of all of us. The biggest thing that stands in the path of most students is an unwillingness to try. If one keeps in mind that on the road to accounting success, to public speaking success, to building that business, to completing that knock-out presentation, is that there will be bumps along the road but there are no road blocks!I have developed and delivered countless speeches, sermons, and seminars. I am proficient in all Microsoft office products, including PowerPoint and Word! I enjoy assisting, facilitating that learning experience in students of all ages. Of essence is your willingness to succeed, if that is there, if you are willing to put in the time, then we can master any material! Some of the courses I have facilitated include...FP/120 – Essential of Personal Finance – 3 credit hoursETH/316 – Ethics and Social Responsibility – 3 credit hoursACC/290 – Principles of Accounting I – 3 credit hoursACC/291 – Principles of Accounting II – 3 credit hoursACC/300 – Principles of Accounting – 3 credit hoursACC/421 – Intermediate Financial Accounting I – 3 credithoursACC/422 – Intermediate Financial Accounting II – 3 credithoursACC/423 – Intermediate Financial Accounting III – 3 credithoursACC/491 – Contemporary Auditing I – 3 credit hoursACC/492 – Contemporary Auditing II – 3 credit hoursACC/537 – Financial Accounting – 3 credit hoursBBA/373 – Applied Accounting for Business Decisions – 3credit hoursMBA/557 – Accounting Applications for Management – 3 credithoursIf you were to ask my students what sets me apart from other instructors they would tell you that I actually enjoy doing what I do, I am not just doing it for a pay check but rather, it is because I like seeing the light bulb go off with a student when they finally get a concept, when they have developed the confidence to accomplish a task, when they value knowing not just because it will help them with a test, an exam, or with homework, but because they actually have developed the skills that will enable them to know!

I am a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Video/Film Production with a minor in theater. Since graduation, I realized that my passion was in helping and educating others, so I began my career in education as a preschool teacher in Brentwood, TN, cultivating lifelong learners and nurturing the next generation. While I have an interest in a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, Grammar and Composition, and History. As the daughter of immigrants, I firmly believe in the power of education and lifelong learning, as it has proven to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching film and television, photography, collecting vinyl, building Lego sets with my husband, and enjoying a football game.

I have taught at various grade levels, including small and large scale class sizes, and provided individualized tutoring for much of my career. Teaching is my passion and it's fulfilling to take someone along the journey of growth in the subject area of interest.I hold a BS in Psychology, an MA in Clinical Psychology, and a PhD in Psychology. I have numerous peer-reviewed journal publications focusing on various aspects of psychology.I have a wealth of experience utilizing statistics and various available software programs, both in the research work that I've been involved in as well as in the training that I have conducted with students at all levels.Beyond mere subject area expertise, I know what it takes to complete courses, how to prepare and take tests/exams, maximize the time spent in class/tutor sessions, and ultimately create effective study habits that help master course content and requirements.

Language Arts and English are prevalent subjects that everyone uses - and has used for centuries - on a daily basis. We as humans can't help but create language, share stories and cultures, and learn about our history through the literature that our ancestors have left behind. I have tutored English for over 7 years. I am a great tutor because I love the subject I teach, am very passionate about literature, and I am a very patient, friendly person.

I first began became instersted in teaching when finishing up my bachelor's degree. I was tutoring some high school students in math and I decided to obtain my master's to teach. I believe that all students learn in their own way with thier own styles. I value each child as an individual and want to progress them at thier level, achieving successes in the areas they need.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude and Honors with Distinction from Middle Tennessee State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Speech and Theater. I've always been passionate about learning and working with people. My theater background is collaboration-oriented, so I am very aware of how other people work and what I can do to adapt to their strengths and weaknesses.Language and communication are the primary tools of my profession, and I have developed strong editorial, writing, and reading skills. I may not have pursued a career in science, but loved Biology, Astronomy, and Chemistry in school and hope to encourage young people to explore these fields.As a tutor for Varsity Tutors, it is my goal to to help students develop strong study habits, fully comprehend their coursework, and build their confidence. I would choose to tutor any of these courses to help younger students further their education and become engaged in the world around them.

Hi! I'm Rachel. I have a pretty relaxed teaching style and adapt well to all kinds of students. I really aim for students to understand concepts rather than make great test scores. However, great test scores are a good side effect of understanding concepts better.

Light sparkles in the eyes of every engaged student, from K4 early readers to 12th-grade senior-thesis authors; and from dedicated life-long adult learners to "night-before-the-big-test" college-crammers. Fifteen years as both private and contracted tutor has profoundly enriched me as witness of the light of knowledge emerging in receptive minds. I can't wait to meet you!For me, tutoring must be more than a lecture session starring *me.* Instead, I seek to thoughtfully engage each student in dialogue, using open-ended questions: "What did you notice about that letter?" or "If you were building a city, what would you do?" or "Why do you think looking at the twinkling stars inspired ancient scientists to develop systems of mathematics?" Such questions help create an environment in which new ideas are safe, exciting, and heard.Although math was always my favorite subject in school, I also find such joy in tutoring communication arts as an adult.Leading students to effectively communicate their knowledge impacts literally every course of study, no matter the age or field.The foundation concepts of communication and literacy, laid well, produce life-improving fruits that will accompany each individual throughout life's duration. That's amazing to me!Third grade thru high school, and college thru adult students benefit greatly from simple, straightforward methods of building words, sentences, paragraphs, and essays.Foreign language learning is a critical key of humanity's interdependent growth. While attending the University of Vienna, Austria, I had my first contracted tutor job with a group of soldiers from the Austrian army, teaching English as a second language. All these concepts lead seamlessly into the grammar needed for foreign language study. My BA in German language is a demonstration of this love of language. Additionally, I have studied 4 years of French, 2 years of Spanish, and recently began Mandarin Chinese.Truly, I eagerly anticipate working with you, as we journey, learning and growing together!

As a dedicated educator with a rich background in special education and instructional technology, I am passionate about helping children unlock their potential. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Special Education from Tennessee Technological University and a Master's in Education from Middle Tennessee State University. In addition, I have an AMS Montessori Teacher Certificate (Level I, ages 6-9). I take great pride in creating a supportive, individualized learning experience for every child. Whether your child is mastering early literacy skills or reading comprehension, I tailor my approach to each child's unique strengths and needs. I like to work with students who have learning difficulties, ADHD, or a diagnosed learning disability. My goal is always to break down complex concepts into simple, digestible steps, ensuring that students feel confident in their abilities. I specialize in teaching phonics using Orton-Gillingham strategies and reading comprehension.

I am studying mathematics as a graduate student at Middle Tennessee State University. I graduated from University of Florida with my BS in Mathematics. I have Pre-Calculus - Calculus III tutoring experience and have taught College Algebra. I am great at explaining complicated mathematical ideas and helping students build the tools and intuition to learn how to solve such problems.

As an educator, I am deeply passionate about inspiring, enriching, and empowering students across a wide range of areas within English and History. With over 20 years of experience teaching children, teenagers, adults, and consulting with parents, I firmly believe that learning is essential nourishment for the mind and that every individual is capable of growth. My expertise lies in various English subjects such as Phonics, Literacy, and more, while my background as a degree holder in History and an active Historian allows me to guide students of all levels with insight and precision. I live by the principle, "Each one, teach one," and it continues to shape my approach to education, mentorship and the success of my students, every day.

Hi! I am a current sophomore attending MTSU. I am a psychology major with minors in biology and chemistry, and am also a pre-med student. My goal is to help you learn in any way possible that is comfortable for you. Even if I need to learn a new technique, my goal is to help you, and help you succeed

I am a former teacher and current graduate student studying biology, but I love all areas of STEM, including algebra and chemistry, and geology. I am also an educator with ADHD, so I love to share executive function strategies like time management and organization to help students with similar struggles. My graduate research centers around making biology education at the undergraduate level more inclusive to all learners.

Hey! My name is Connor, I go by Ken, and I am currently a student at MTSU trying to become a high school teacher within the next two years. I've always been pulled towards helping others when they are struggling with things in their lives be it personal matters or academic problems, and I've put together that teaching is right up my alley. Ever since I took step one with MTeach (which let me teach in a real classroom three different lesson plans that I made) I knew that teaching is a passion and I've been working towards that goal ever since.Outside of School I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, golf, Frisbee, tennis, a few video games, reading, writing, playing the ukulele, and simply exploring the world around me. When I'm not working in the lumber department or heading the Kids Workshop at Home Depot I am normally at home watching my roommates two Blue Heeler dogs or am outside in a hammock enjoying life.If you are looking for a positive attitude, an environment where mistakes are a stepping stone, and are ready for a few laughs you found the right tutor!

My name is RJ and I am a previous teacher and current astrophysics student at Middle Tennessee State University! I have taught mathematics and music to students for years in hopes that they also find a passion for the STEM subjects. Aside from my degree and tutoring, I spend my time doing research in physics and performing orchestral music.

I am a graduate of the University of the South at Sewanee. I studied Political Science and Economics and currently am a certified public accountant. I also have an interest in Physics, Mathematics and Philosophy. I enjoy sports and follow the market and economic news.

I am passionate about fostering communication skills in my students, as I believe that the ability to express thoughts and feelings is fundamental to human connection. With over 32 years of teaching experience, including middle school, high school, and college levels, I specialize in English Composition, Literature, and Spanish. My educational background has equipped me with effective teaching methodologies tailored to diverse learning styles. I thrive on creating engaging, interactive lessons that incorporate technology, games, and collaborative activities, ensuring that each student feels empowered and motivated to learn. Whether I'm guiding a seventh grader through essay writing or helping a high school student grasp complex Spanish grammatical concepts, my goal is to build confidence and proficiency in their communication abilities. I find immense joy in watching students grow and succeed, and I am dedicated to providing a supportive and dynamic learning environment.

With a degree in English and in Psychology, I strive to teach and tutor my student with patience, guidance for improvement, and differentiation for meeting each student's personal educational goals. My experiences in the public school setting have been in the middle to high school levels. However, I have substituted at all grade levels because I was in high demand by school administrators. I currently am a graduate student at Point Park University. I will graduate with a M.A. in Curriculum and Instruction with Reading Specialist certification. I earned my undergraduate degrees from Middle Tennessee State University. I love teaching and watching my students grow and learn.

Hello. My name is Alex Hancock. I am a recent college graduate from Middle Tennessee State University. I received my Bachelor's of Science in Professional Mathematics. I am eager and willing to help in anyway I can. Please reach out and help is on the way.

I was born to be an educator. My Tennessee father went to live in Colombia where he met my mother. He was a Spanish professor. My mother is also a Spanish teacher. My rebellion was studying French. So now I am fully trilingual.I received my PhD in Comparative Literature and have a degree in Medieval Studies from The University of Paris-La Sorbonne. I've taught teens in France, college students in the U.S., and professionals from Latin America.I am here to help those working on writing their dissertation, thesis, or essays.I am available to tutor students of Literature or Medieval Studies.I am also accepting students who are learning English, French, or Spanish.We all have different reasons for wanting (or needing) to learn a different language or to get a degree. Knowing the student's motivation is the key to how I approach our work together. The student's life goals are always at the root of how I approach the presentation and engagement with material. In essence, I am a mentor or a coach who seeks to push the learner towards their LIFE goals by ensuring they master the educational and/or personal benchmarks that brought them to me.

I graduated from MTSU with a B.A. in English and a minor in Religion. I tutored at the University Writing Center there, working with writers of all backgrounds and levels of experience. Typically, I saw a string of writers with little time to engage with them as individuals, so Im especially happy about having the opportunity to engage with students on a more substantive level. Im a creative writer who has worked on the staffs of multiple literary journals, and I always try to bring that creative perspective of language to my sessions, whether in my interactions with students or in my lesson plans. First, regardless of the subject, well look at the patterns present in the material, and then, well work our way into understanding the conceptual bases of the subjects at large. Tutoring should always be a collaborative effort that encompasses a way of learning beyond any particular subject. By the end of our sessions together, I hope that you will have learned how to teach yourself; fostering that sense of independence is my main goal.Even though I specialize in material geared toward the English language, the humanities, and the social sciences, I have a background in natural scienceecology and microbiologyand have done a fair amount of basic research in those areas. I am always happy to return to those roots with you! I work from multiple frameworks that adapt to not only each individual student, but also their progress and its ever-changing trajectories. Rather than relying on visual learning, which I myself tend to do, I try to connect the visual with the verbal in order to tune eyes and ears to the metaphors that are the basis of any subject. In my spare time, I write poetry, so I highly value fluidity and dynamism in all aspects of education. Because of my love for understanding the aural/verbal styles of learning, I tend to work well with multilingual students and others who are revisiting the process of learning and loving English!My academic background: After high school, I attended UT-Knoxville on a full-ride as a member of their Scholars Program. Overall, I was very successful with my college applications and can help you with all aspects of that process. Admittedly, I changed my major many, many times, but that journey has led me to my love of writing and a wealth of knowledge from diverse areas and subjects! My specialties include poetry and drama; definitely contact me if youre doing either!

While earning my bachelor's and master's degrees in English literature, I have had the opportunity to give students a number of tools to develop their literary craft, and I have helped students increase their reading comprehension by introducing them to a multitude of written works. I enjoy tutoring high school and college students, especially after teaching freshman English and working in the writing center as a graduate assistant at Middle Tennessee State University. My particular areas of expertise are assisting students with writing projects at any stage of the writing process, including brainstorming, outlining, researching, writing rough drafts, and editing. I also enjoy working with ESL students as they develop their conversational skills, reading comprehension, and writing. Furthermore, I assist with test preparation for both the GRE and the GMAT. Personally, I love all genres of literature, and I maintain a broad range of interests in composition, rhetoric, critical theory, the Renaissance, Romanticism, and Modernism.

I have been an educator for 18 years, and I love working with students! Prior to becoming an educator, I worked as an RN in high-risk OB, labor and delivery, post-surgical settings, home health, case management, and research.As an educator, I have supported students in different settings and programs. I initially taught at traditional brick-and-mortar universities and transitioned to online teaching in 2008. Over the years, I have supported pre-and post-licensure students in PN, ADN, BSN, and MSN programs. I've also worked with students preparing for the NCLEX. I've taught a huge variety of courses, including Microbiology, Evidence-Based Practice, Health Assessment, and Pharmacology.My passion is supporting students in reaching their goals! I'm focused on student success, and I don't give up! My teaching style is very interactive and relaxed, and I tailor information so that students can learn in a way that is best for them. When tutoring students, I help them better organize and understand the content, assist with difficult concepts, and provide test-taking strategies.I look forward to helping you be successful and reach your educational goals!

In 2007, I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology, with Minors in both Sociology and English, from MTSU. I spent several years in the medical field before deciding to pursue a career in education. I completed a summer residency with Nashville Teaching Fellows in 2011 before entering the classroom in the 2011-12 school year. I still maintain an active TN teaching license for English grades 7-12. All of my classroom teaching experience has occurred in non-traditional school settings. As the first generation college graduate in my family, I understand the challenges students often face when navigating the school system in both K-12 and college settings. This unique perspective motivated me to work with students that were often struggling with school or lacked the motivation to tap into their potential. As far as my teaching style and philosophy, I believe that every student can achieve greatness and there is always room for growth. I often approach learning with out of the box thinking, and use materials that engage the student, allowing them to make connections and learn concepts with topics that interest them. Once a foundation is laid, it can easily be built upon by applying the same techniques with other texts or materials that may not be quite as interesting, yet still required to demonstrate mastery of a skill. I have a record of success in my classroom, and was recognized as having the highest growth for English III in my district for the 2014-2015 school year. My favorite subjects to teach and tutor are Literature and Writing. I believe words are powerful, even more so when you dive into their often unspoken meanings. In my spare time I read everything I can get my hands on, re-purpose furniture, and explore real estate.
