I am a former elementary Dual Language Teacher with a passion for learning. I graduated from Texas State University in 2019 with my Bachelor's in Spanish, with minor in International Relations. I immediately continued on to graduate school and completed my Master's degree in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, specializing in Language Acquisition at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona in December 2020. My Master's thesis investigated a student's second language learning abilities depending on differing teaching platforms: face- to- face vs. live video lessons. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring natural areas, yoga, and rock climbing.

I attended Yale University and the University of Texas at Austin where I majored in English and minored in Philosophy. I recently completed a Masters in Professional Counseling at Texas State University. I first began tutoring while teaching ESL for two years in Taiwan after college. It was a great experience! Alongside teaching classes, I tutored individual students and adults in English language arts, and led SAT prep and humanities study groups at the Princeton Review. I love teaching and tutoring and am passionate about what my father, a former university professor, calls "the world of ideas." In particular, I am interested in literature, poetry, and the mechanics of writing, as well as issues related to psychology, philosophy, economics, and history. My long-term career goals include bringing together my training as a therapist and my background in education by working in higher education counseling settings.

I enjoy working with all levels of students. I listen and support students so they can be successful. I bring over 30 years of experience to training and teaching, on many subjects. I enjoy helping with English writing and reading; professional training, literature, social studies, and public administration.

Thank you for considering me as your tutor. I am an educator and former teacher. I have taught reading and math at the elementary level and middle school math. In addition, I have tutored in reading and coached speaking events. Most of my experience in education has been working with struggling learners. My favorite story to tell is about a student I met in middle school who was in a special education math class. She was very unsure of herself but after working with her for two years, she was able to transition into a general education math class with accommodations. She will be starting college this fall. Her story and many like it, are the reasons I strive to work with students.Math is my favorite subject to tutor because of it's progression from concrete to abstract concepts and real world connections. I use Socratic questioning to find points of confusion and assist students in clarifying those areas.I currently hold the following certifications: Special Education (Early Childhood-12th), Generalist (4-8), and Principal Certification and earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees at Texas State University.

I am a graduate of Texas State University with a BA in English and with a minor in French. I have always been passionate about languages, as well as world history and culture, and would like to help others better understand the past and how to communicate with others from around the world. I recently returned from France as I was an English teaching assistant who helped native French speakers learn and comprehend English, as well as US culture and American history while doing so. I believe that language is one of the most important facets of being human, as with it you are able to express yourself and foster connections with people different from yourself. During my free time, I like to read, study history and culture and I indulge in video games as well.

I Graduated from Texas State University in 2019 with a Bachelor's of Science in Microbiology and minored in biochemistry. After working as a research assistant at UT Health in Houston, I recently moved to Manhattan to begin graduate school. I am currently a PhD student at Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan. I enjoy learning, sports, exercising, and reading in my free time. I am an ambitious, young academic who aspires to be a research scientist after completing my PhD. I have a passion not only for science, but for learning of all kinds and helping others. This is why I believe through my passion, tutoring young minds in subjects such as math and all sciences can help stimulate their interest and inspire them to pursue these fields into their college education and beyond. I also wish to equip them with great study habits and academic approaches which can translate to all fields of study they may go through and spark any interest in school and learning. Additionally, I feel that through my experience from college and the workforce I can teach students lessons not only concerning the specific subject but ones to help them succeed in school or higher education and in life.

I am a native Japanese speaker, from Tokyo, Japan. I graduated from Komazawa University with a Bachelors of Arts in English Literature in 2015 and received my certification in Japanese Instruction from the Sendagaya Japanese Language Institute in 2017. I am currently in a Graduate Program at Texas State University in Adult Education. Teaching students about my native language and culture is my passion. I have had many students that have successfully passed Japanese proficiency exams, and some that have even moved to Japan. Whatever your goals in the Japanese language you have, I am here to customize your lessons to help you achieve them.

I love working with students, building connections, and helping students achieve their goals. My favorite subjects to tutor are math, French, and English. I am excited to work with students of all backgrounds!

Hello. I am a Spanish professor with Austin Community College. I've taught Spanish at the middle school through college level for the last 15 years and I have plenty of tutoring experience.Having learned Spanish as a second language I understand a student's struggle learning the language. Students have told me I am patient and calm as a teacher. Since I have taught young people and older students I feel I have a good understanding of how to present a given concept to a specific student. I am well aware that some younger learners struggle with attention span. For this reason I use fun activities and age appropriate materials. In the past I have tutored businessmen and women who had specific goals for a trip to a Spanish speaking country. I feel comfortable teaching both adults and children. As far as materials I have plenty to offer. I designed my own language learning website that covers the grammar learned in Spanish I and II.I look forward to working with anyone who needs help with Spanish. I am punctual and professional while still keeping a relaxed attitude with my students. If you are looking for a teacher with those qualities I'd love to work with you.

I started out tutoring my peers while I attended college at Texas State University, where I graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology. When I was not studying, my time was consumed by many activities including my job as a medical scribe in the emergency department of Seton Hays Hospital and my membership with my sorority, Alpha Delta Pi. I volunteered on weekends through the Ronald McDonald House Charities and San Marcos's local Senior Citizens Home.After college, I decided to continue my education and pursue a medical degree. I am currently enrolled in the Medical Sciences program at the University of North Texas Health Science Center's Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. While I await decisions from medical schools, my time consists of working out, running outside, eating mac & cheese, and now tutoring those who were once in my shoes.I want to provide those in need with the skills to become the best versions of themselves through the arms of education. Whatever the goal may be, your success will not be measured by how many times you fail, but by whether you decide to stop trying. If you never stop trying, then you will succeed.

With a bachelor's degree in English and a certification to teach 8-12 ELA, I served as an educator for 5 years.

I have been a private tutor for over 20 years. Primarily, I have worked with elementary and middle school aged students. I have tutored my students in a broad range of learning, which has completely prepared them for high school. Additionally, my professional degree is in business and I have a background in college preparatory education for high school students. This knowledge has equipped me to mentor the older learner towards their academic goals. My personal motto is "Encourage Confidence: Every student is close to achieving their excellence." Many of us have a tendency to identify ourselves academically (high-achieving or struggling) but I am here to help you find your way to your personal best .

I have earned my Bachelor's in Mathematics at the University of North Texas, and a PhD in Mathematics Education at Texas State University. Since graduation, I have been working as a Professor of Instruction at universities. I have taught many years at the university level over all levels of mathematics. Predominantly, this has been with algebra, pre-calculus, and calculus students. My philosophy for teaching is to prepare my students with a foundation in the content of the course as well as how to apply that knowledge in new contexts. I find it key to help students answer the questions they have while also preparing them to answer any other possible questions that could come from a context.

Hi, I'm Adalberto, but most people call me Adal. I'm a Computer Science graduate from Texas State University with a minor in Mathematics and a background in full-stack development, data engineering, and machine learning. I've worked professionally building ETL pipelines, cloud-deployed applications, and search infrastructure using Python, React, and GCP, and I currently freelance as a software engineer building production web applications. What sets me apart as a tutor is that I don't just know the theory, but I build things every day. Whether it's a real-time facial analysis app using MediaPipe and Three.js, data pipelines with asyncio and pandas, or full-stack platforms with React and REST APIs, I bring practical context to every concept I teach. I know what it's like to wrestle with a recursion problem at 2 AM or debug a Docker container that worked five minutes ago, so I meet students where they are with patience and real-world examples. I'm passionate about making CS concepts click, especially for students who feel intimidated by programming. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, which helps me connect with a wider range of learners. Whether you need help with intro Python, data structures and algorithms, database design, or web development, I'd love to help you build confidence and actually enjoy the process.

I am a Counseling Master’s degree candidate at Texas State University and have a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. I have completed some course work in Public Affairs at the University of Texas. I have tutored students in after school programs and believe that one-on-one tutoring has a great positive effect on a student’s focus and learning abilities. During my education and experience, I have learned that not everyone has the same learning curve and approach. I strive to meet students where they are and work with them to discover the learning method(s) that best suit them. Practice is an essential part of learning, thus I work to keep students engaged in learning activities outside of tutoring as well.In many cases, grades are considered extremely important by the student and the student’s school, thus I always encourage my students to ask me questions until we both are completely satisfied that they know what they are learning.As a counselor in training, I understand that students must feel engaged, motivated, and confident in order to work to their full potential. I utilize my skills to provide a safe, accepting, and positive environment in which they may thrive. I look forward to working collaboratively with all involved individuals to bring about the desired results for students. Thank you for your consideration!

I am currently in the final year of my MFA in Creative Writing program. I received a BA in English from Texas Tech in 2020 with minors in Spanish and Ethnic Studies. Writing is my biggest passion, and I have been a writing tutor across all subjects since 2018. I believe that everyone has the ability to grow in their writing and learning, and my favorite thing about tutoring is helping students build self esteem and empower themselves. When I'm not tutoring or in class, I love reading, making art, and hanging out with my cats.

I am currently a graduate student at the University of Indianapolis studying Human Biology. My experience teaching began my junior year of high school when I started student teaching in the elementary music program. I have taught microbiology labs at Texas State as an instructional assistant and will be teaching freshman anatomy at the university of Indianapolis this year. These experiences have given me an appreciation and love of teaching. They have also taught me techniques for getting through to students who may not immediately grasp concepts. I think that the skills gained from these experiences make me a good tutor.

I received my Bachelors in Finance and Masters in Secondary Education at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. During and after my studies, I have been tutoring and teaching high school math students for the past five years. I am a certified Math teacher in the state.

I am passionate about learning and empowering students through helping them reach their educational goals. I graduated at the top of my class with a 4.0 from Texas State University's Honors college in International Relations and Business Administration and currently live in Australia exploring the other side of the world! I am a State-qualified Debate and DECA competitor. I was raised in France and Germany in a very multicultural home and learned English at a British school in France. I use an engaging teaching style and opt towards real world applications for clarifying concepts and helping stymie learning. I incorporate humor and creativity into my classes to help students enjoy learning with me and provide a unique and worthwhile experience.

I am a graduate of the awesome Texas State University (Southwest Texas State University). I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Aquatic Biology with an emphasis and minor in Chemistry.

I love to travel, I love to learn, I love sports, puzzles, hiking, music, and anything that seems challenging. In my free time I love to help people, which is why I became a tutor. I had been tutoring for years for my friend's children in church and youth programs, so I decided to join Varsity Tutors to have more of an impact. Education is key. I'm passionate about all things science, and love to make learning fun. I'm enthusiastic and energetic when teaching so be prepared to have fun and learn at the same time!

I have a Master of Education in Reading and extensive experience instructing reading comprehension, grammar and vocabulary. I truly enjoy reading challenging literature in my spare time.

Through personal adversities and my diverse professions, I've learned to exemplify the inherent characteristics I possess to cultivate an inclusive environment in every room I walk into, an environment where differences are recognized and respected by serving as a catalyst, providing support, and ensuring collaboration and accountability.

My name is Alex Kinney. I am currently a student at Texas State University going to school to obtain a bachelors of science in the field of manufacturing engineering. I am very patient when tutoring and I have been told I'm good at explaining concepts in a simple manner.

Tutoring individuals and small groups is a passion. I love when I am able to teach my students simple memory tricks and other skills that they can use in other parts of their lives as well. I use all four learning modalities simultaneously: seeing, hearing, feeling, and movement.

I am a Physics PhD student at the University of Houston set to graduate this year. Throughout my academic career, i have helped many other students, formally as part of my Teaching Assistanceship, and informally when helping out friends and classmates with homework. I have found that i enjoy sharing my understanding of math and physics, as well as the joy from solving problems. It is probably for this reason that in my free time I enjoy games and puzzles that challenge my problem solving skills.

I currently am attending the University of Houston in the pursuit of a PhD in Economics. After finishing three years in the program I currently have two more left and really look forward to reaching my goal.As far as tutoring is concerned, I have taught for a number of years and through the process have come to recognize a few key principles to learning.I understand that a lot of students have various difficulties in school, but most of them boil down to a small number of causes which are completely fixable. The two which I try to isolate in my tutoring sessions are the fact that Math and Economics seem COMPLICATED and BORING to students.Math is complex and overwhelms a number of students. Many students get a problem incorrect before they even begin to work towards the answer simply because they freak out after reading it. I remember back before I learned one little precept by which I now live my life, I used to stare at some Math problems and think "How will I ever solve this, it is impossible!" What I didn't realize then, but do now is that Math is EASY if you split it into steps. Just like pro golfers will say "I just take it one hole at a time", Math experts take each problem one step at a time. And, after you put the steps together you will be surprised with how simple the most complex problems can be.Math is also boring, to most. Yet, it can be surprisingly entertaining to some and the difference is driven by one's ability. Getting problems incorrect is certainly no fun, but when you reach the level of solving 90-100% of the problems correctly, it begins to grow into a passion. And, you start making the connections to how Math is actually important in your every day life. I like to emphasize to my students how it feels to work out problems completely correctly and the sense of accomplishment that one gets from a perfect answer.I realize this sounds extremely Utopian , but it is the true story of how I went from an average Math student in high school to scoring perfectly on the Quantitative portion of the GRE. And, my goal as a tutor is to impart some of what I have learned over many years of schooling onto my students in the hope that they will enjoy school as much as I have.Tutoring/Teaching Experience:Tutor- Texas State Student Learning Assistance Center (2008-09)Tutored upwards of 30 students a day in a variety of college coursesTutor- University of Houston Athletics (2010-11)Tutored athletes in 1-on-1 sessions in Math and Economics coursesInstructor- Principles of Macroeconomics at the University of Houston (2011-2012)I currently teach Economics courses at the University of Houston.

I graduated from Texas State in San Marcos and I have traveled extensively, including a summer teaching in China. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Language Arts Writing, and Critical Thinking. In my experience in helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, I see a lot of progress in all subjects when I weave in games with skills practice. I am a big proponent of individualized lesson plans that focus on the child's strengths, interests, and areas that need improvement. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, yoga, walking trails, and the fun, free events in Austin.

I believe all students can learn!In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, yoga, running, and cooking in my Instant Pot.

As a teacher, I believe in teaching children and young adults how to think for themselves through critical thinking and knowledge of the liberal arts. When it comes to education and pedagogy, I follow the philosophical traditions of Plato and Aristotle. While acquiring my Master's Degree in Philosophy from Texas State, I learned and thought a lot about pedagogy and the best way to communicate and interact with students. My unique education background allows me to take a different perspective in teaching kids, and this is often what is needed.Throughout my higher learning I have both struggled and been successful. I think the struggles I faced academically and overcoming them gives me unique insight in helping students, and that's why I'm passionate about teaching them.

I am a registered nurse in Central Texas with a unique academic and professional background: I earned my Bachelor's and Master's in history in 1999 and 2001, respectively. From 2002 to 2014, I taught introductory American History courses at the local community college.I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2014 and my Master of Science in Nursing Education in 2019. Between 2014 and 2020, I worked in a variety of roles - as a staff nurse in the Cardiovascular ICU and Progressive Care Unit, and later as a nursing supervisor, manager, and clinical educator. All the while, the classroom was calling me back to academia. I missed that connection with my students, so I became a nurse educator in 2019. It felt amazing to help aspiring and new nurses meet their potential. Helping students connect with a subject that many of them struggled with was an absolute joy.As the pandemic raged on, I felt a pull back toward the bedside, so I became a staff nurse again in October 2021. I started tutoring as a way to continue helping students while also caring for patients.I take a holistic approach to tutoring NCLEX. I spend time getting to know my students: what they struggle with, how they've prepared in the past, where they'd like to focus their energy and time, and how they handle test anxiety. I then develop a tutoring plan to meet each person's individual needs. I teach content review, testing strategies, and in-the-moment stress-reduction techniques to help my students feel prepared as they go into the testing center.
