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.

Hello my name is Gabriel and I'll probably be the most charismatic and positive young man you will ever meet. With a family of 5 siblings, and me being the second oldest, I've been raised helping out with school work, and just love seeing the joy on their faces, once a child has learned something new.

I am completing my Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and History at Texas Christian University. I have met the requirements for a history certification for the state of Texas in addition to my history degree, and I will also receive a broadcast certificate with my journalism degree upon graduation.I have worked as a mentor/tutor for 6 years, mainly with elementary-aged children who struggle with both academic and social issues in school. I am extremely passionate about my areas of expertise, and I pride myself in the ability to make "dry" information engaging and interesting.I have a broad general world history knowledge, but I have an emphasis in European history. With my journalism degree, I am required to gain a grammar/syntax certification from EGUMPP, a comprehensive online course that teaches every area of grammar and spelling. My writing skills, along with a passion for reading, has allowed me to successfully help tutor students in their own reading and writing skills.Outside of academics, I enjoy yoga, the outdoors, and volunteering at an animal shelter. I am a very outgoing person who has an abundance of patience with others.

Hi y'all! I am a current teacher in Dallas ISD. Other than being a passionate Horned Frog, I also love music and theatre. I cannot wait to meet you and see you grow and succeed!

Hi, I'm Alyssa! I graduated from Texas Christian University in 2021 with a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology and a minor in Psychology (with Honors and a 4.0 GPA!). I am a current Doctorate of Physical Therapy student at Texas Woman's University, continuing my education in Kinesiology and related subjects.During my time at TCU and as VP of Student Kinesiology Association, I often worked with other Kinesiology and Psychology students to help them achieve success in their studies. I love working with students in these subjects because I am passionate about understanding the human body and the human experience, and want to help extend that understanding to others as well! Specific subjects that I tutor include anatomy & physiology, exercise physiology, exercise assessment and prescription, motor development, nutrition and physical activity, biomechanics, psychology basics, developmental psychology, and social psychology. I also have experience tutoring Algebra, and really enjoy working with students to build a strong foundation of understanding that they can use to be successful in their Algebra classwork, as well as any and all future math classes. After experiencing successful standardized testing results, I enjoy helping other students to be even more successful, and to achieve results that they can be extremely proud of (and that set them up for the future they desire!).While working with students, my main priority is to increase and solidify their understanding of the content in order for them to be able to apply and relate the information in any context- whether that be on a test question or in real life! I fill in the gaps when needed and provide clear explanations to help students feel comfortable and confident with the material they are studying. If you could benefit from some additional resources in Kinesiology, Psychology, Algebra, or standardized test preparation, please consider me as your tutor so we can work together towards your success!

My biggest values in my work are compassion, creativity, and conscientiousness. I strive to meet students and individuals where they are and empower them to be the best they can be. I graduated from Texas Christian University with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Psychology, and I am beginning a Master of Fine Arts program in Theatre for Youth and Communities at Arizona State University in Fall 2020. I tutor a variety of subjects, but some of my favorites are Spanish, algebra, writing, and test prep. Watching students grow as learners and as people motivates me to continue my work as a tutor.

Hi there! My name is John (but you can call me Johnny). I'm a fourth year pre-dental biology student at Texas Christian University, set to attend the OHSU School of Dentistry next year. When I tutor, my main goal is to teach my students the confidence they'll need to think quickly and flexibly when the time comes. Biology, chemistry, and math are fascinating subjects. What's great about them is there are skills to learn and practice so that you can crush your next exam. Being a student takes practice, and with practice we can work together to make you the best you can be!

I believe that any student can achieve their academic goals with the right help. As a past tutor with an After School Program, I know what it takes to motivate and encourage students of any age. I am a very patient and kind teacher, but I also enjoy a few quips to keep things light throughout the learning process. I think a sense of humor is sometimes necessary in order to get through complicated lessons! I connect well with kids, teens, and adults, and would love to be of help no matter your goals.

I am a graduate of Texas Christian University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Economics and Political Science. During this time, I was a tutor for the Departments of Economics and Mathematics, where I gained a passion for seeing the "click" of knowledge, where information becomes made personal.

I am eager to tutor students in the subject of accounting. Even if the student does not want to be an accountant, learning accounting concepts will add value in any endeavor they pursue in life. I enjoy accounting because it is a unique way to add value to a business. Accountants provide and analyze information that others use to make business decisions, whether that be management, lenders, or investors.

I hope to connect with you soon!

I obtained my undergraduate degree from TCU in Sport Psychology and then went on to complete my Master's in Sport & Performance Psychology from the University of Western States. I am passionate about helping students achieve personal goals and reach new heights. It is rewarding to see student's knowledge grow throughout our sessions as they learn to trust their confidence and preparation. I tutor students in psychology courses, and I love this field because it gives students an opportunity to apply what they are learning directly to their life and experiences. My tutoring style aims to empower students to value their education while also developing ownership and curiosity over their learning experiences. In my spare time, I enjoy watching sports, trying new restaurants, and spending time with friends and family.

Hello!I love exploring the wonderful world of writing and all its creativity and headaches (though I'd like to think with my help you will avoid the headaches). I am also a bit of a grammar Nazi and enjoy refreshing people's memories about grammar rules in order for people to read and better understand their meaning. Miscommunication is frustrating, and great writing that's clear and concise can prevent unnecessary frustration.

I am a 2015 graduate of Texas Christian University with a double major in Economics and Political Science. I am currently an Associate Account Executive for Crystal & Company in the Employee Benefits department. While I was a student, I worked for 2 years as an in-home tutor for kids grades 6-12 and focused on study skills, organization and assistance with homework in math, English and Spanish and SAT preparation. During the fall of 2014 I worked with the TCU Athletics Department where I help the TCU Student-Athletes with Calculus and Economics. I enjoy tutoring both Math and English/writing because I am an analytical thinker and like to encourage students to challenge themselves and reach new goals. I was a Dean's List student for 6 semesters and have been awarded the Priscilla Tate research prize for Women and Gender studies at TCU as well as 2015 Texas A&M Outstanding Undergraduate Research prize for the Project for Equity.Outside of work, I enjoy watching college football, being active outdoors and spending time with my friends. My experience as a tutor has helped me learn how to cater to different learning styles and has taught me how to approach issues from different angles. I am both prompt and professional and would love to help your child grow into a successful student.

I graduated from Penn State with my bachelor's degree in history and economics and from Texas Christian University with my master's in history. I specialize in writing, history, and test prep. I focus on making sure each one of my students reach their full potential.

I graduated from Texas Christian University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, with minors in Spanish and Chemistry. I am applying to Dental School and hope to one day become a Dentist like my Mother.I enjoy working with kids of all ages and learning abilities. I find it rewarding to share my interests with others. My favorite subjects are Biology and other Human Science courses because I think it is very interesting to discover how our bodies work.I like to introduce a topic slowly, so that it doesn't seem daunting. I also like using real-life examples so the topic is understood and not just memorized. I am an enthusiastic, friendly person who enjoys dancing, crafting, watching sports and spending time outside with friends, in my spare time.

I am a graduate of the Honors College at TCU with a BBA in Entrepreneurial Management, minor in Spanish, and certificate in International Studies. I am a part of 3 start-up companies but I love tutoring so I can help students and fund my travel/scuba hobbies.While I have tutored in various subjects much of my experience is in English, in both Spain and the US, as well as Spanish. My favorite subjects are reading/writing, physics, and language because they enable us to describe our world. As a tutor my approach is focused on student discovery which creates confidence in and retention of the subjects.Outside work I enjoy vinyl music, eating/cooking, and sleeping in a hammock while fixing my tan.

I believe piano lessons are one of the best gifts anyone can ever give, either to themselves or to their child. It is a gift that remains for life, and can always be treasured.Over twenty-four years, I have encountered every type of learner, and approach each one individually. I tailor my lessons toward the individual's strengths and learning style, and in doing so, create a positive musical experience.

I am currently a first year medical student at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, TX. In 2020, I graduated with Magna Cum Laude and Honors with a Bachelor in Science in Biology from Texas Christian University. Along with my Biology major, I minored in Chemistry, Spanish for the Health Professions, and Cultural Awareness in Health and Healthcare. I am passionate about learning, which is one of the reasons I enjoy tutoring and helping other students learn. My tutoring style is tailored to each student, but I find that the best way to teach is to explain the concept, answer questions, and then have the student explain the concept back to me in order to ensure they retain the knowledge. I also enjoy providing study tips for how to learn scientific concepts more effectively, and more specifically, how to successfully study for high level science courses or the MCAT.

Hold on, do you struggle to keep up in your math courses?Ever feel overwhelmed by the pace and volume of your coursework?Do you double check to make sure you didn't take a foreign language class by mistake?I've been tutoring students for over 3 years, and I know how difficult and confusing math can be at times. My framework as a tutor is composed of two things; respecting the student and making the tutoring session as engaging as possible. I'm always at the ready for any questions or messages and respond fast. I look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals.

Hi! My name is MaryClaire. I am living in Fort Worth TX! I grew up in Northern California and moved to Texas to attend college at Texas Christian University. I graduated in 2017 with a degree in Early Childhood Education. The following spring of 2018, I graduated again with a Masters in Curriculum Studies.I started my first official teaching job the following Fall as a 1st grade classroom teacher at a charter school. teaching 1st grade has been a wild adventure and so much fun!Through my first two years of teaching I have discovered my passion for teaching students how to read through phonics and guided reading strategies.I believe that every student learns in a unique way, just as each student is unique in their own way. Positive reinforcement and encouragement go a long way with elementary students and help motivate them to learn and grow to their full potential.

Hello,My name is Tyler and I am excited to be working with Varsity Tutors. I currently teach middle and high school social studies at Bishop Dunne Catholic School in Dallas. I teach 8th Grade US History, Spanish 3, AP Microeconomics, and Economics. I also have experience tutoring middle school Math while in college.I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and still have family there. I very much enjoy spending time with them when I am able to return home. I am also an avid sports fan and follow my teams passionately. In my free time, I love attending sporting events and spending time with friends and family. I am particularly fond of a good cup of coffee and conversation.

I'm a senior at Texas Christian University pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Data Science, with plans to continue on to an MBA in Marketing. I've worked with college underclassmen in math and computer science courses, and I've found that I really enjoy helping others work through material that once felt confusing to me too. I know how frustrating it can be when something isn't clicking, so I focus on explaining it in a way that feels more manageable. I tutor high school and college-level math, including Precalculus, Calculus I and II, AP Calculus AB and BC, and foundational math like algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. I especially like the calculus series because it builds on so many different skills like algebra, trigonometry, and a bit of physics. I believe the best way to learn is by doing, so I focus on guiding students to the answer while keeping them on track. Instead of jumping straight to the solution, I help them connect what they already know to the problem in front of them. This keeps students engaged, builds critical thinking, and helps students understand the material rather than memorize answers.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in History from Trinity University in 2020. I earned my Master of Arts in History in May 2022 at Texas Christian University. Currently, I am a PhD student. Upon graduating, I hope to become a university professor and academic historian. During the school semester, I am also a Graduate Teaching Assistant for the History Department. This opportunity allows me to spend much time either working one-on-one with undergraduate students or in front of classrooms teaching history lessons. I enjoy discussing history and helping students see the ways it's more than dates and events. So much of history is being able to communicate your ideas and put together a solid argument for your interpretation of the past. Since everyone knows how history turns out, the classroom is somewhere to discuss or debate why events occurred. By association, writing is a passion of mine, and I spend much time doing it for my own grad courses and dissertation research.

I am passionate about helping students reach their potential because I know how important it is to succeed in school and in life. Many years of teaching have given me experience in helping students one-to-one. That's my forte. I help students develop what they already know.

Everyone has a right to a great education!

I am passionate and enthusiastic about student learning. I am sensitive to the needs of individual students perceiving each one as a unique and special human being. I believe the quality of education a person receives in early life is indispensable in bringing out that person's potential.I believe all students should have access to quality learning in a meaningful, fun, creative and safe environment to contribute to their growth and overall well-being.I take a student focused approach providing well-balanced, supportive and engaging lessons while remaining flexible to ensure individual learning styles and abilities are addressed.I greatly value student input and involve the student in setting goals which are attained by progressing through small, manageable incremental steps.I hold a Bachelor of Science Degree in Environmental Science from Texas Christian University and an Elementary Education Teaching Certificate from the University of Pittsburgh.I have worked with children and middle school students in various settings for 26 years.From 1998-2005 I assisted the Special Education Teacher in a Kindergarten through Fifth Grade Learning Support Classroom that was part of the Pittsburgh Public School System. Spanning the years of 2005-2015 I ran my own childcare business taking care of young children in their homes providing developmentally appropriate activities and attending to their cognitive, physical, emotional and social development.My area of concentration is Math and Science but I also enjoy teaching Reading, Spelling, Vocabulary and Phonics.I feel I can make the greatest impact and attain the most effective results working one on one and face to face with a student.Meeting the student where he or she is and attending to the unique individual needs of each student is paramount.I prefer a library or home setting as these environments are quiet and conducive to studying.My goal has always been and always will be for the student to reap and enjoy the fruits of his or her labor.

I love math, economics, and finance! I just graduated Summa Cum Laude from Texas Christian University with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Economics. All throughout college, I have worked with students of all ages and levels! I do not start my full time job as an Actuary until the winter, and want to continue my passion for tutoring this summer and fall, and even when I begin work because I LOVE sharing my passion for math and helping others learn! Some other fun math facts about me - I scored a perfect 800/800 on the math portion of the SAT, I've passed three SOA actuarial exams, and I was the first undergraduate to work the TCU math tutoring center!

Any time someone asks me why I tutor I remember the worst teacher I ever had. She told me that because I was different, that I would never amount to anything, I would never graduate college, and I would never hold down a job. No student should ever have to hear this, much less believe it. As a result, I make it a point to help others that having trouble. As for the teacher in question, I made sure to send her an invitation when I graduated from TCU. Sometimes the best revenge is to prove someone wrong.As a person who is not too far removed from being a student himself, I am well aware of the difficulties that young people face today. Throughout my academic life, whether it was elementary, junior high, high school or college, I always had to work extra hard to make the grade. Some people can never touch a book and still make straight A's. I am definitely NOT that person. Even though I had to study a lot harder than most people to get good grades, I have something they don't: I actually remember what I learn!This is what makes me effective as a tutor. For one thing, I have ADD and this is something I have learned to use to my advantage. Before I learned coping skills in high school, I used to have to sit on the floor of my bathroom, clear everything off the counter tops and turn on the vent fan just to stay focused. It may sound crazy, but anything that distracted me even the slightest bit was a potential grade-killer. In order to be successful over the years, I had to develop strategies for effective learning. A lot of people will prepare for a test by "cramming" information in their brains, only to forget it as soon as they leave the classroom. That has never worked for me. I prefer to teach the same way that I learn-through applying the information and by having a thorough understanding of the subject matter.Just as a house that is built on sand will surely topple over, information that has no meaning or practical application in our daily lives will never be fully understood. When learning any subject you have to work from the ground up, starting with the basics and slowly building on them with more complex parts. To achieve this, I use mnemonic devices ("My Very Earthly Mother..."), analogies and metaphors and maybe a few flash cards thrown in for good measure. I find that these techniques teach the student in a way that simple memorization simply cannot do alone. By learning to associate visual images with the subject matter they represent one is able to better process the things they are reading and hearing.Finally, I help the student to learn effective organizational skills. I achieve this by teaching the student effective note taking skills, by helping them to become better organized and teaching them critical thinking skills through active participation. It all depends on what works for you. We are all wired a little differently-I know I am and I feel that I can help people who are having trouble. When it comes to learning, everybody is different. There is no right or wrong way to study it's all about what works for you.

I am an upperclassman Mechanical Engineering and Physics major at TCU, with research interests in Semiconductor Materials and Plasma Physics. I have a passion for STEM education. I have participated in multiple research opportunities on campus--from cancer drug manufacturing research with an esteemed Welch Chair to industry-contracted materials research for Lockheed Martin. In Spring 2013, I won the Engineering Department award at the Student Research Symposium for my work in Rapid Prototyping Materials Properties for Lockheed Martin, and soon after some of my chemistry research was published in ACS's research magazine. For the past year I have worked for a Dallas engineering firm as a Structural Designer.I have been a private tutor for over 10 years, working in both one-on-one and group tutoring, specializing in courses relating to Science, Math, Test-Prep, and Engineering. I also have much experience with and am very comfortable with tutoring those with learning and social disabilities.I've heard people say that the best way to learn is to teach. I embrace this idea in my approach to tutoring, where I have the student walk me through what they understand, so together we can explore what they don't. This positive approach allows the student to see how much knowledge they actually already have at their disposal. It encourages the student and gives them the confidence they need approaching their coursework. My job is to give students the skills and tools necessary to be able to understand, analyze, and work through problems on their own.

As a dedicated educator, I am deeply passionate about sharing the richness of the Spanish language and its diverse cultures. My teaching philosophy is rooted in my own heritage, and I strive to create an environment where students don't just memorize vocabulary but truly connect with the language. I find great joy in helping my students overcome challenges and helping them develop a lifelong curiosity for learning and growth.
