I am a firm believer that Attitude is indeed Everything! My teaching philosophy lies in finding the diamond in the rock in order to make learning fun. If the thought of writing Essays traumatizes students, or if they are overwhelmed by the complex rules of Writing, Grammar, or Reading comprehension, I can help them to master those skills, all while enjoying the journey! I can also walk students through the Critical Writing process by developing a thesis statement to completing the final draft. My goal is to help students discover the joy of Language Arts. I earned a B.A. in English with a Specialization in Creative Writing from Southern Methodist University and a J.D. degree from Florida Coastal School of Law. I have tutored students for over 8 years from K5 through 12 grade primarily in Language Arts, and my specialty lies in the Creative Writing process. I have been writing personally for over 20 years, and my hobbies are dancing, reading fiction novels, and watching comedy on TV. I am a mentor and a motivator, and I enjoy nothing more than helping students to conquer their fears of learning.

I strive to tutor and teach in an encouraging, uplifting manner, and believe that acting as a teammate, mentor and friend to students leads to effective learning and positive results.I received my MBA from SMU in May of 2018, and prior to that, graduated from UT Austin in May of 2013 with a degree in Public Relations and Communications. I currently work as a wealth manager in the Park Cities, and have experience in finance, technology and professional services.

I am a professional Performance Artist with a deep love for Math and Science. I attended a fine arts magnet school from 5th grade until my graduation from high school, where I learned to maintain a healthy balance and integration of my passions for the Arts and academia. I approach tutoring on a case-by-case basis, allowing the student to inform me of what he or she needs and what methods of teaching work best for them. I always hold my students and myself accountable, expecting a reasonable amount of progress over a period of time from us both. I always do my best to integrate fun and play as I teach, so that the work for the students stays as far away from daunting as we can manage.

I am passionate about fostering a love of learning and especially reading in students. I believe that when students are able to have fun, they learn better. I love to game-ify concepts once students are beginning to show mastery. My specialties are reading, writing, and I am a licensed dyslexia therapist.

Hello students and parents!My name is Ned vanSise and I have been a private academic tutor for over 30 years.I specialize in all subjects at the middle and high school level and most subjects at the undergraduate level. I have tutored 1000s of students over the years and often work with both talented and gifted students and students with learning differences including ADHD and those on the Autism spectrum.My approach is to engender trust and confidence and adjust my approach to the unique learning style and needs of each student.

My Master's degree is in Bilingual/ESL Education and that is what I taught for many years. I also have much experience in grades PreK through 8th grade. My teaching style is relaxed and non-judgmental. My passion is to teach mostly PreK through 5th grade with an emphasis on PreK and Kindergarten readiness.

I believe strongly in every student's ability to be successful. I am a first generation college graduate of Brigham Young University-Idaho with a B.A. in Applied Mathematics. December of 2020 I will be finishing a Ph.D. in Computational and Applied Mathematics from Southern Methodist University. I can relate with students who struggle or feel underprepared for a course because I've been there, but I also know you can succeed, because I did. I have been tutoring or teaching in some compacity since 2009 as an undergraduate tutor, high-school math teacher, and online instructor. I love working with students and helping them reach their goals!

I believe that helping others is the greatest thing you can do in life and that is what I am here to do. I'm here to help you with whatever you need and do it with a very patient and different approach.

I hold a bachelor's and master's in art history, with a concentration in early modern European art. I attended THE Ohio State University for my undergraduate degree, and attended Southern Methodist University for my master's. During my time as a master's student, I was a teaching assistant to four different undergraduate art history courses, and spent a significant amount of time teaching, grading, and holding office hours with my students.To simply put my tutoring style: I am a lover of learning. Learning new things myself, and helping others to learn, are life-affirming experiences for me. Knowledge is joyful, and powerful! I want my students to walk away from our sessions feeling similarly.I have begun tutoring for those studying the LSAT and would love to continue to take on LSAT learners. Contrary to what you have learned from major LSAT teaching companies, the LSAT is simple and straightforward: there is one correct answer, and four wrong ones. Slow reading and a careful approach to understanding every stimulus are keys to LSAT success, and I want to help you get there! After beginning at a 154, I have practiced into the 170's, and am still taking the LSAT myself to have that reflected in my actual score.I would also love to spend some of my time with my LSAT students on their admissions applications. I have received a full ride, or more, in scholarships for each degree I have received, and I can help you achieve that same financial success with your law school application. I hope to hear from you and can't wait to help you on your law school journey!

I will patiently and persistently guide you or your student to understand the mechanics of the subject and identify which key elements are lacking in their understanding. I easily identify the learning style unique to each student and can teach to suit his or her needs. I am able to tell quickly how a particular student thinks and best learns, and from there I can either make the lessons more game-like or memory based. In every case, I approach the subject or concerning area from the most basic root and build from there. I have been working with children since middle school which made me a very patient tutor in college. Aside from helping my classmates, I formally worked as an English tutor through the Universidad Complutense, the Spanish University at which my study abroad program resided.

Helping fill the pedagogical gaps and providing individual attention are imperative to helping a student achieve academically.

I am a PhD student at UT Southwestern Medical Center. I have received my Master's in Biotechnology at Johns Hopkins University and my Bachelor's in Biochemistry at Southern Methodist University. I've tutored middle school, high school, and college students in math (Algebra I & II, Geometry, Calculus I-II) and science (Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry). I have the most experience with and enjoy teaching Algebra I & II and Chemistry though. I grew up as a athlete myself (figure skater) and so am aware of the strenuous schedule student athletes have and work to be as flexible as I can with my own schedule so that I can accommodate these students.

I am passionate about the subject of History and, more importantly, working with students to not only understand the amazing stories, resonating themes and key events but also how studying History helps to develop communication and critical analysis skills - both of which are more in demand than ever in the professional and academic worlds.

I am a Junior at Southern Methodist University. I am majoring in Applied Mathematics and minoring in both Creative Computation and Computer Science. I have a lot of experience tutoring. For the duration of my spring semester of my sophomore year, I tutored at a low-income public school on the western side of Dallas. I made sure the students understood by making them feel comfortable with not understanding a concept. By establishing this comfort, I was able to get honest responses when a topic or idea was not understood. My favorite subjects to teach are upper level maths, because you can build on understanding by deriving the formulas needed. Outside of school, I like to work out, code, and read.

I recently graduated from Relay School of Education with a master's degree in early childhood education. While studying at Relay, I worked at a charter school in Colorado, teaching lower elementary students. In Colorado, I taught many subjects, but I am most passionate about helping students learn how to read and understand basic math. I have seen the difference small group instruction can make on a student's academic performance and overall attitude towards school. School should be a place you are excited to go to, and sometimes if you struggle in a subject, it can taint the whole experience. I want to foster a love for learning by helping students feel confident in their abilities to read, write, and solve math equations.

I am an academic professional. I currently hold a research assistant position with the Chair in Marketing at SMU- Cox School of Business. I work with research data and also with students on the job.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Engineering and a Master's degree in Management Science. As a tutor, I want to assist my clients to work on their pain points and gain more control on the topic they need assistance with.

I am a Junior Accounting student at SMU motivated to help younger students reach their academic and testing potential, especially when taking the PSAT, SAT and ACT.

My name is Bitanya Dawit, and I'm a sophomore at SMU studying Finance and Statistics with a minor in Public Policy. Math has always been a passion of mine. I competed in math competitions throughout high school and enjoy helping students build confidence and a strong foundation in the subject. I tutor elementary through 8th-grade math and aim to make each session clear, supportive, and engaging. I am also a professional violinist and bring patience, focus, and creativity to my teaching. I am exploring future careers in accounting or law, and love that tutoring allows me to grow as a communicator while sharing something I truly enjoy.

I find all children fascinating but especially those from 2-6 years of age. I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way (Thank you Whitney Houston!) Early Childhood (especially Montessori education) is my forte; making education equitable for ALL is my passion. While I am fond of teaching and tutoring, educational leadership is what I am good at. Inspiring teachers to become the best they can be is something I am very enthusiastic about. Helping early childhood educators develop their strengths and discover their love for teaching is what I aim to achieve. Curriculum and leading the way to best practices in all aspects of education, specifically in Montessori, is what I enjoy. "Now, what really makes a teacher is love for the human child; for it is love that transforms the social duty of the educator into the higher consciousness of a mission." - Dr. Maria Montessori

My objective as a tutor is to deliver maximum life-long values: conceptual understanding, a rekindled love for learning, confidence, genuine self-esteem, and friendship. I deliver these by focusing on conceptual understanding. Most difficulties with the current materials come from not having mastered the earlier concepts or skills. I locate these earlier misunderstandings by asking questions like, "Walk me through this problem and explain your thought process" or "How are you thinking about this problem?" It's normal to get confused responses to these questions, but whatever response is offered, I can dig deeper by asking additional questions. Upon finding underlying areas that are not understood, I deliver focused learning experiences designed to quickly, easily, and enjoyably bring about conceptual understanding. I can off these kinds of mini-lessons immediately and without additional preparation because I myself have conceptual mastery of nearly the entire math and physics curricula from elementary through the first 4 years of college.When I am not tutoring: I am seeking employment in the medical device and aerospace industries as a Quality Engineer or Reliability Engineer, creating heart and mind expanding experiences for my wife and daughters, supporting my daughter's acting career and rigorous talent development programs, reading for learning or pleasure, authoring heart and mind expanding books, engaging in aggressive personal development, exploring the fullness of what life has to offer, laughing, learning, and creating values for the world.

I graduated from Washington and Lee University with a BA in English then earned my MA in English from Southern Methodist University. My standardized test scores and essays gained me admission offers from Wake Forest University and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

I am a graduate of Southern Methodist University. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Studies, with a focus on acting and directing. Since beginning high school, I have spent much of my extracurricular and summer time tutoring, mentoring, and counseling students elementary though high school age. While a tutor a fair amount of subjects, I sincerely enjoy exploring English, Literature, and French. I love the English and Literatue because both subjects connect deeply to my love for theatre, and I love French because I have lived in France twice; once when I was 7 in Paris, and again when I was 16 in the Nord Pas-de-Calais region. I would say my teaching style depends directly on the student, but generally, I love acting like I'm a student too and find fun ways to address the issues they're facing in practical ways. I always try to get my students to appreciate the skills they develop by showing them how they're useful in everyday life. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy trying new restaurants, going for a swim, practicing my singing, and going to acting class.

My mission here is to not just teach but empower and motivate students to reach their full potential. I took a plethora of STEM courses in college and understand that the assistance of others in these courses is essential to becoming successful throughout ones academic career. My main strengths are Mathematics, Physics and Economics

As a tutor, I firmly believe in the power of personalized attention. Each student is unique, with their own strengths, weaknesses, and aspirations. I am committed to identifying these individual qualities and tailoring my approach to ensure their academic growth. Whether we are working on homework assignments, preparing for exams, or developing essential study skills, I will provide guidance and mentorship to help my students succeed both inside and outside the classroom. I strongly value effective communication and collaboration. I encourage open dialogue with both students and parents, as it is essential for establishing clear goals and expectations. I am always open to feedback and believe that ongoing communication is key to creating a positive and successful tutoring experience. Beyond academics, I strive to instill important life skills in my students. Time management, critical thinking, problem-solving, and resilience are just a few of the skills I aim to cultivate. I want my students to develop a sense of confidence and independence, enabling them to tackle challenges not only in their academic pursuits but also in their future endeavors. I am thrilled to be a part of the Varsity Tutors community, a platform that values excellence in education. It is my genuine belief that education is a lifelong journey, and I am committed to accompanying my students on that journey, guiding them towards their goals and dreams.

I am a retired educator with almost 30 years of experience in the classroom and library. A large part of my classroom instruction involved tutoring in all core subject areas in grades K-5. As a librarian,I had the pleasure of working with middle school teens as a resource and mentor in academic competitions and other activities. My teaching philosophy involves listening to the student and assessing weaknesses and strengths. I use scaffolding to build upon small successes until the student has mastered skills and achieved his/her goals.

I graduated summa cum laude from Southern Methodist University in 2012. I received my Bachelor of Arts in political science and my Bachelor of Science in economics. After graduating, I immediately moved to New York City to attend Columbia Law School, where I will receive my JD in May, 2015. Throughout undergraduate, I regularly tutored economics, math, and statistics courses at the school's tutoring center, and helped several students to turn around their class performance. I also enjoy helping students prepare for standardized test, whether that be the SAT or the LSAT. Especially with regard to the SAT Math, I love helping students understand the various curveballs that CollegeBoard often throws, and assisting them in achieving better scores than they thought possible. I am also passionate about Texas Rangers baseball, and fill an inordinate amount of my free time with fantasy sports and statistical research on the sport.

I received my BBA in Accounting from Southern Methodist University, and I am currently in the Master of Accounting program at the same university. I have not looked back since my first financial accounting course, and I greatly enjoy helping others better understand accounting. I know that just memorizing answers will get you nowhere in your accounting courses. I strive to help my students understand the why and how behind the answer so they can apply their knowledge to a greater range of problems.

I am an avid learner and passionate advocate for the social sciences, I have always believed that understanding our world is essential for personal growth and civic engagement. My journey in social studies has been shaped by both academic pursuits and real-world experiences, which I am eager to share with students through tutoring. My academic background includes a degree in Secondary Education with a focus in Social Studies, where I explored diverse cultures, political systems, and historical events that have shaped our society. I have always been fascinated by the interconnectedness of human experiences and the lessons we can draw from the past. This curiosity has motivated me to engage deeply with topics ranging from economics and geography to sociology and government. I have taught many social studies courses including, law studies, US History, AP Macro, Government, Economics, Personal Finance and more. It is my duty as an educator to mold students into not only a stellar student but also an active and well informed citizen.

I've been fortunate to have spent half of my life living in South America and am therefore native bilingual in English and Spanish. I came to the United States to obtain my undergraduate degree from Brandeis University in Waltham, Ma. Six years later, I moved to Dallas, TX to work as an elementary school teacher in an urban school district. I've been here for ten years and have spent the entire decade working in education. I have taught all subjects and almost all grades in elementary school. In 2011 I graduated from Southern Methodist University with a Master's in Bilingual Education. In recent years, I have worked as an instructional coach and academic specialist, which has allowed me to look at education from a different lens and therefore given me a comprehensive look at curriculum and instruction.I am currently completing my principal certification and hope to pursue this goal in the near future. The rest of my time is spent with my wife and two children of 1 and 4 years. I played varsity tennis in college and continue to play locally.

Helping students grow into confident, independent thinkers is one of the most rewarding parts of my professional life. I'm passionate about education because I believe it's a powerful force for unlocking opportunity and creating long-term impactboth for individuals and for communities. Over the years, I've worked with learners at many levels, from high school students preparing for college to graduate-level professionals deepening their technical expertise. My experience spans academic settings, corporate environments, and competitive learning platforms where I've guided students in mastering complex topics and building real-world skills. I hold a master's degree in data science and have taught a range of subjects including Python programming, machine learning, data analysis, AI, statistics, and project management. I especially enjoy tutoring in algorithmic thinking and problem-solving because these skills not only build technical fluency, but also empower students to approach challenges with clarity and creativity. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive, collaborative learning environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions, make mistakes, and think critically. I adapt my tutoring style to the needs of each learner, combining structure with flexibility and always tying concepts back to practical applications.
