I am a Chemical Engineer with a Bachelor's from Missouri S and T and a Master's from the University of Tennessee. I have a lot of real world experience using math and science in industry, which helps me give practical tutoring on a variety of STEM subjects. I am currently teaching one of my favorite subjects, chemistry, at Tulsa Community College. I have also been an Ambassador for the Oklahoma Rocks and Minerals Program which brings science professionals to elementary classrooms to teach them STEM concepts. I have always been great at standardized tests and would love to help you prepare for your next exam or develop a better understanding any STEM subject.

For over 13 years, I have been tutoring independently and for Learning Centers, In-Home Tutors, and other professional Tutoring services. My passion for watching students learn and grow is evident in my work. I make learning fun and enjoyable while accomplishing educational goals.I have a Master's Degree in School Counseling and I am working toward a PhD in Counselor Education. I have tutored elementary students (language arts, reading and math), middle school students (reading, math, science, social studies and algebra), high school students (ACT prep, math, algebra I & II, geometry, pre-calculus, statistics, reading & vocabulary, English literature, chemistry, biology, and study skills), and college students (math, statistics, accounting, economics, pre-calculus & calculus, and study skills).I understand the desire to see your child succeed and the frustration of seeing your child struggle. I have a passion for helping students feel better about themselves and about learning. Seeing students I've worked with build their confidence and enjoy learning is so rewarding!

I'm finishing up my PhD in Chemical Engineering at the University of Tennessee. I went to Texas A&M for my undergrad degree. I like to crochet, read, and watch old black and white movies.

I am a graduate of Clemson University, where I earned a Master of Science degree in Mathematics. I take a student centered and inquiry-based approach, and over the past 6 years, I have helped so many students achieve their academic goals. While I have experience tutoring middle school through college level mathematics, I am most passionate about Algebra and Calculus, where I try to emphasize the logical processes behind solution methods.

I am a lifelong learner and love helping others enjoy learning. Languages are my passion and I help students succeed by putting lessons in a real-world context. Whenever possible, I use film clips, journal articles, songs and literature, so that my students begin to think in the new language and not simply memorize words in a textbook! I graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a Bachelors in International Studies and a minor in French, and I have spent time living in both France and French-speaking Swtizerland. I have over five years of teaching and tutoring experience and have worked with students of all ages, from elementary to adult. I also have extensive experience teaching English to speakers of other languages and enjoy making my own language accessible to those wanting to learn it. I am a patient and enthusiastic instructor and I look forward to sharing my love of French and English.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville (2022) in Animal Science (Pre-Vet concentration) and Psychology (Neuroscience concentration). Following graduation I was accepted into Lincoln Memorial University's Master of Veterinary Biomedical Sciences program which I graduated from in December 2023. While I tutor several scientific subjects, I am most passionate about Neuroscience and Psychology. I believe that even an introductory education in these subjects can change students lives and how they think about themselves. I am passionate about education and have been teaching students in one area or another since I was 14 and a TA in an after school program called "Mad About Science!" My mother was the best math and science teacher I ever knew and her influence lives on through me in how I want to impact the lives of students today.

I am a current senior at the University of Tennessee majoring in Chemical Engineering with a Biomolecular Concentration. During my college career, I have worked as a pre-colligate counselor for my university's College of Engineering and College of Business. I have also completed engineering internships and co-op rotations with global companies that have allowed me to apply the skills that I have learned in the classroom to real world scenarios.During my time in my pre-collegiate roles, I specifically worked with high school students in preparing them for their transition into college.j This preparation consisted of prepping for the ACT and SAT, refining students' study habits, and offering peer-mentor advice for how to succeed in their final years of high school.I am an avid advocate for the STEM field and its subjects. I am most passionate about teaching Mathematics, Science, and English. I strongly believe that creating a strong foundation in fundamentals is essential for students, as this allows them to be propelled into success upon entering college. When teaching students, I prefer to take a collaborative approach by engaging with the student, understanding their unique learning style, and formulating a performable academic plan that is geared toward accomplishing their learning goals. I believe every student can complete anything they set their mind to. I also believe that the keys to success are practice, patience, and perseverance.In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and my cat. I also enjoy staying active with practicing yoga, reading the latest book releases, travelling, and volunteering at local community service events.

I have tutored numerous types of high and low level math for many years. I also have my B.S. and M.S. in Engineering. I always have fun tutoring since I find math fun as well (I better, I've been doing it all my life!).I also like to tutor on my free time and my number one priority is to make sure the student understands the concept. Besides that,

I have my Masters Degree in teaching Elementary Education, my English as a Second Language certification, and a Bachelors in studio art. For the past 9 years, I have taught in both in the United States and in Europe. I always strive to make sure my students have fun while learning!

I used to be a university professor for more than 25 years after earning a doctoral degree in Ecology with an emphasis on environmental microbiology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I have taught courses in biology, environmental science, ecology, and microbiology which are my favorite subjects. I can also teach plant biology since my majors in BS and MS degrees are agronomy and plant pathology. I have also extensive experience in research in the area of environmental microbiology dealing with bioremediation, wastewater treatment, and ecosystem analysis. Moreover, I was employed by a biotechnology company where I gained good experience in studying industrial microbiology and enzymes. This will be a great asset for my teaching college students as well as K-12 school students in a real-world situation. As an educator, my teaching philosophy is rooted in creating an inclusive and engaging learning environment that fosters student success, critical thinking, and scientific literacy. I believe in equipping students with the necessary knowledge, skills, and tools to excel academically and professionally, while also instilling a passion for lifelong learning and a deep appreciation for the biological natural world. More specifically, I will employ active learning (e.g., inquiry-based learning and discussion) and mentorship/support for student success in their careers. In my spare time, I enjoy learning computer programs for data analytics, reading books that enrich my life, watching movies, and exercising at the fitness club.

I am a graduate of the University of Tennessee with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I am also a graduate of Lincoln Memorial University with an Associate of Science in Nursing, & WGU with a Bachelor & Master of Science in Nursing. I currently teach the following subjects: A&P, Geriatrics, Basic Nursing/Fundamentals, Skills, Medical/Surgical Nursing, Pediatrics, Pharmacology, & Nursing Math (Dimensional Analysis). In my role as an instructor, I ensure that students are prepared to test for the NCLEX. I am also critically care trained and serve in a supervisor role in the hospital setting. I find it hard to choose a favorite. I enjoy teaching and tutoring all subjects. My approach in my classroom is to meet the needs of students individually.

I am a graduate student at The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology and I am working towards a Master's in Counseling psychology. However, I am currently living in Georgia since classes are online due to COVID. I also just finished up my master's in mathematics at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK). I love helping students learn and conquer subjects. Mathematics is my original passion, and I've always thought of myself as a sociable math nerd. Thus, I enjoy explaining math and get along well with those who love it and those who hate it. I tutored everything from College algebra, to Calculus and Linear Algebra at my undergrad, Georgia College and State University. At UTK, I taught mostly freshmen classes of college algebra, basic calculus and calculus one. I also have a passion for French! I minored in it in undergrad and got to use a bit of it while touring around Switzerland this past winter. In my spare time I love to go hiking or explore a new city. The Swiss alps are definitely my favorite place in the world, but I can't wait to see more of the world someday.

I graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Bachelors degree in English Education. Over the last 20 years, I have successfully tutored students of all ages in a variety of subjects. I am passionate about learning because I feel that an individual can learn new things throughout their life and expand their world view. My favorite field of tutoring is humanities as it relates to historical events. My interests include reading, theater, art and gardening.

Hello! My name is Mercedes and I am a 7th year teacher who absolutely loves what she does! Having a younger sibling with multiple disabilities, I always knew that I wanted to go into special education to "do better" for our students. I strive to be the best teacher I can be, so that my students get the best education possible.As a special education teacher, I understand the importance of differentiating and meeting a student at their current knowledge level. I always strive to find the best way for each and every one of my students to learn, as no one learns the same way. I love working with students and seeing the personal growth they make, both children and adults. Every single student has the ability to succeed no matter their age, disability, or current skill gaps!I encourage you to look at my resume, as I have had many experiences within my past 7 years of teaching. In addition to a special education degree, I have additional certifications in the areas of English as a second language and Gifted and Talented education. I have taught grades K-8 in a typical school setting (ELA, MA, Science, Social Skills, etc.) as well as adults learning the English language which I did at night for parents that had children attending my school. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions as I would LOVE the opportunity to tutor you or your student!

I have a doctorate in counseling psychology from University of Tennessee-Knoxville and currently am a postdoctoral fellow at Yale School of Medicine. During my graduate program, I gained significant experience in teaching foundational psychology coursework to college students. I served as an instructor for a General Psychology course over two semesters. This gave me the opportunity to create a space for students to clarify course material, have critical discussions about various psychology concepts, and learn through interactive activities the ways in which these concepts might apply to their everyday lives.I also served as an instructor for Research Methods in Psychology for 8 semesters at the college level. Along with teaching basic principles of conducting scientific research, interpreting results, and presenting findings, I emphasized students' roles as research consumers and how they can effectively understand and critique research, both in scientific journals and the popular press. I also enjoy helping students develop their writing, critical thinking, and verbal reasoning skills generally.As a teacher, I pride myself in making difficult concepts understandable through the use of interesting examples, media, and activities, and discussion. I also strive to create a welcoming atmosphere for my students, so that they feel comfortable to ask questions about material and raise other concerns. I am passionate about teaching and look forward to continuing to help students develop their knowledge and skills in psychology, research, and writing/English.

I have a variety of aspirations that stem from my interest working with people - from forming relationships to interacting amongst different cultural backgrounds. I believe in discipline and challenge and hope to incorporate my leadership abilities and ambitions into a positive educational experience.My purpose is to incorporate both engaging and meaningful content into the tutoring experience. We all learn in different ways, so I make sure to listen closely to you! After all, learning should be fun!

I'm here to help in your math and physics classes! As a rising senior in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Tennessee, I've been through nearly every math and physics course. I would like to use my past experience and education to help you excel in your STEM classes. Likewise, I feel that my approach to preparing for the STEM portion of the ACT will be helpful to college bound students. I have been the beneficiary of excellent instruction over my time as a student, and would enjoy teaching others. I am comfortable with any subject that I am certified to teach, and have a ton of resources to aid in your learning.

In 2016, I was introduced to the world of online ESL teaching. I immediately fell in love with this platform of teaching. I primarily taught students from China, and in 2021 I began teaching students from around the world. I also began teaching students of all ages. I am comfortable teaching one-on-one or in groups. I have an extensive background in education. I graduated from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in Special Education. I taught students in grades K-12. While teaching in the school setting, I had the experience to teach subjects such as Math (including Algebra 1), Science, and History. As well as other core subjects. I also had the opportunity to teach Basic Spanish skills in the Elementary setting. One of my responsibilities was teaching the core subjects to students that were too medically fragile to attend their home school setting. I became passionate in helping students with learning disabilities reach their potential for learning well before going back to college as my youngest daughter (she is 27 years old) is Intellectually Disabled. Through this experience, I have learned that I have the compassion and patience to help students learn. As a passionate teacher, I'm fully committed to improving and adapting the lesson to meet each individual student. I am excited to begin this new tutoring journey with your child to help them grow in their area of need.

I am a long time Metro Nashville Public Schools teacher (in my 11th year). I currently teach second grade. My favorite subject to teach and tutor would be reading. I myself love to read and continue to be a life long learner. Showing students reading does not always have to be so painful brings light back into their life. My undergraduate B.S. degree is from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville-GO VOLS! and my masters degree is from Trevecca Nazarene University concentrating in educational leadership. I have served as an instructional coach helping the teachers in my building better serve our students and allow them to reach their goals. I have always known I would be a teacher. I can remember to this day playing "school" with my friends and an old discarded teacher's manual. My goal one day is to be in educational administration.When not tutoring or educating, I love to be at the water-beach or lake. In the fall when the weather is cooler, I enjoy watching college football, Predators hockey, and the sights and smells of Autumn. If I am not with a student in a classroom or at their home, you can usually find me volunteering with the Nashville Humane Association. Dogs are my second love!I am excited to help your child/student and watch them grow and change!

I graduated from The Ohio State University in 2020 where I received my Bachelor's degree in Food Science and Technology. I then continued my Food Science studies at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, graduating with my Master's degree in 2023. I researched in a food chemistry lab specializing in food chemistry, with my own work focusing on organic chemical synthesis. During this time, I also worked extensively with biopolymer creation and characterization, polymer characterization, and microbiological analysis. Both prior and during my college education, I have been a student tutor in all math and science fields that I have been educated in (introductory through calculus math; introductory, organic, polymer, and analysis chemistry as well as biochemistry). I have also been a Teacher's Aide during my high school, undergraduate, and graduate career for various math and science courses. Currently I am an adjunct instructor at Roane State Community College. I have loved the time I spent on my own educational journey and am very excited for the opportunity to assist others in theirs.

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 a recent college graduate who is excited to share my hard-earned knowledge with students in need of help. I majored in a Geography and Economics with an emphasis on urban studies and quantitative analysis, but the academic skills and concepts from those disciplines apply to a large number of social science fields. I think that education at its best is a collaborative experience between students and teachers to meet the students' goals, and I approach tutoring with that same mindset. I will work with students to help them define their goals and then act as a coach and mentor to help them achieve.In general, I'm a cheery, extroverted guy. I love talking to people about just anything, but Economics and my cat are my favorite topics. In my more introverted moments, I play video games, watch Netflix, and read all kinds of books. I also keep up to date on the world around me by reading the NYTimes and Wall Street Journal during the quiet moments of the day and by reading a "smart" non-fiction book every once in a while. Most of all though, I spend my time thinking about interesting problems and solutions because I am fortunate to truly love what I do.

I am a recent graduate from the Math Honors program at University of Tennessee, Knoxville and I will begin my PhD in Mathematics at University of California, Santa Barbara this fall. Like many students whom I've tutored, I have not always been a successful mathematics student. In fact, it wasn't until later on in my undergraduate degree that I decided to take on a mathematics major. Choosing to make mathematics a career has changed my life and been incredibly rewarding both in my professional and personal life. Besides the basic math skills needed in live, mathematics may seem irrelevant if you aren't planning to be a mathematician or engineer, but it is such an important subject because it teaches you how to think. It helps you better understand science and think critically about complex problems. I also believe that the rigor of thought which it provides can help you in your personal life by helping you discern truth from untruth, and understand when someone's logic (including your own) may not be logical at all.An important thing that I have realized is that mathematics is challenging and it requires work to achieve success. More importantly, even though mathematics can be difficult for myself, I have found that one of the keys in my success was to stop fearing mathematics and reassuring myself that I *can* do it. Part of the beauty of learning math (or any subject) is struggling and making mistakes and working your way through a problem by understanding. It is humbling to accept that it is okay to be wrong and trying to understand why you were wrong in the first place. Learning math has also built my own confidence and it has made me an independent learner. Having tutored a diverse group of students, I have learned that anyone can understand mathematical concepts to a reasonable level. I also encourage my students that it is okay (and highly recommended!) to seek help when it is needed. I too would not have achieved the same success if I had not sought assistance from my teachers and mentors. Mathematics does not always come quickly even to the most skilled students, but if you seek help, continue to practice, and are confident in your abilities, you will achieve success!My first real experience tutoring students occurred in when I took multivariable calculus and linear algebra courses during undergrad. I performed very well in these courses and I wanted to help my friends and peers achieve the same success. I began leading study sessions to review for exams and many of the students improved significantly, developing the critical reasoning skills necessary for success in mathematics. I am grateful for my desire to help my colleagues improve because this experience also helped me learn the material in more depth, and I otherwise would have never realized my potential for teaching.Since then, during my last three years at UT I was fortunate to work at the university math tutorial center, where I regularly engaged students to help them achieve success in their math courses. Providing students with a deeper understanding was incredibly rewarding and motivated me to develop new ways to build their intuition. Many students continually struggle with fundamental concepts in mathematics. I have found that one of the core causes of this issue is that rather than being challenged to think critically about mathematical problems, students instead develop methodical ways to solve the problems which rely heavily on memorization. As a tutor, I aim to help students build necessary skills to think critically about mathematical problems. My goal is to help motivate why mathematical solutions work and help students better understand how they should approach similar problems. I believe this approach to learning mathematics makes the process much less problematic---rather than feeling fearful when trying to attack problems, you begin to ask yourself "How should I think about this problem? What do I know, and how can I use this information to arrive at the conclusion?".I have experience tutoring a broad list of subjects, including:- algebra: Algebra I & II, college algebra, intermediate algebra- precalculus/trigonometry- elementary calculus: Calculus I & II, AP Calculus AB/BC- multivariable calculus: Calculus III- ordinary differential equations- elementary and abstract linear algebra- intro to proofs (set theory, induction, function theory, etc.)- abstract algebra- point-set topologyI have had the most experience tutoring elementary calculus, as this subject was highly requested at the math tutorial center at UT. I have also taken an honors sequence in real analysis, in which we study the theory behind calculus on a deeper level. Thus, I understand the fundamental concepts very well, and I can better determine the issues that students face when studying the subject. I also plan to be a teaching assistant for a calculus course at UCSB this fall, where I will be responsible for teaching recitation sections. Preparing for this job has helped me become a more skilled teacher of the subject.One of my favorite courses to tutor is linear algebra. A particular issue with this course is that many lecturers teach this with a focus on nothing more than methods of solving systems of equations but fail to help students understand the underlying theory and make connections between the different topics within the broad subject. I have many practice problems and examples on-hand to help students better understand how systems of linear equations relate to matrices acting on vector spaces. I also like to provide geometric intuition for the topic to help the subject "come to life".

I am a graduate of The University of Tennessee where I received a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. I also have an MBA from Tennessee Tech University and am a CPA. Outside of my academic accomplishments, I have worked in a Fortune 200 Energy company within its Finance and Accounting functions and have worked for a global healthcare company that is ranked 258 on the Forbes Global 2000 list performing various financial and accounting leadership roles. Most of my current work includes financial modeling and controlling for a global IT project, while running the FP&A function for our domestic HR Team and assisting our operations team with various types of financial analysis. I would say that I am most passionate about teaching CPA prep, Accounting, and Finance, as I have found so much practical use out of those subjects in my daily life. I practice Accounting and Finance every single day when building financial models and supervising my co-workers, some of whom are new to this subject matter. I enjoy helping people who are either students or early in their careers not only understand the subject matter they are trying to learn but also helping them understand how that knowledge can help them in their careers.This translates well to helping students prepare for the CPA exam, learning advanced financial modeling techniques, as well as basic finance and accounting. I believe that education, next to health, is the most important thing in someone's life as it opens doors to so many opportunities. In my spare time, I enjoy vigorous exercise, world travel, and I am an avid college football fan.

I have been a teacher for almost 20 years. I have taught a variety of subjects. I've taught 4th graders, senior engineers and all ages in between. I've primarily tutored students who need help with writing assignments. I've taught algebra and calculus in the classroom and online. I have a passion for visual learning. My pictures, charts and diagrams will make learning grammar and math easier for you.

I have always loved learning. As I determined my career path, I realized the joy I experience in working with people with disabilities. I also realized learning does not always create joy for others (in some instances it creates anxiety or anger).My passion is to specifically help people who feel frustrated and angry about learning for any reason. I want to be the catalyst for a new educational experience.I left a career in Advertising in 1999 and chose to educate myself on how to work with people with disabilities. In 2001, I received a Masters Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling. Along the way, I worked with adolescents in rehabilitation for drug abuse and traumatic brain injuries. I worked with adolescents in a residential facility and adults in residential reentry program after incarceration. Finally, I worked with college students with learning disabilities and children, engaged in a community mental health program, while living at home. In 2009, I chose to work in Special Education in the public school system. In 2012, I earned my second Masters Degree. I have worked in the public school system since 2009 as a Special Education teacher because I believe all students deserve to have a teacher dedicated to their academic needs despite their disabilities. I also work with students without disabilities that simply have achievement gaps. I teach my students how to succeed in school. We work on the work, but, more importantly, we work on how to engage in the learning environment to be successful. There are three basic rules I teach all my students. The first rule is: Arrive on time and be prepared to engage in learning. The second rule is: Maintain a positive attitude about learning no matter the challenges. The third rule is: Always submit your work so your teachers can attest to your efforts (even if you don't understand or your work is not accurate). Teachers will see how they can help and often feel even more committed to help. The bottom line is I am committed to teaching and learning.

Hello, my name is Dariyn. I graduated undergrad from the University of Tennessee in 2019 and I have been a tutor since I was a sophomore in college. I have significant experience tutoring various math and sciences of all age groups and I look forward to helping you achieve your best potential! :)

I am a passionate educator that enjoys learning and helping others learn. Providing individualized help in understanding challenging subject matter and helping you achieve your "light bulb" moments when things click is why I enjoy tutoring.I have a Bachelor's, Master's, and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, and I have been tutoring, teaching, and mentoring students in engineering for over 10 years. I have 3 years of experience teaching both in person and online courses at 2 different Top 100 undergraduate engineering universities. My passion subjects are thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mechanical design, and the FE exam, but I'm a quick learner and can provide guidance in other related subjects as needed.

I am a language arts teacher in every sense of the term!To tell you a little about my professional life, I have been working in Seoul as an English teacher for the past 5 years. I've taught in middle school, high school, and university positions but have most recently been working in a gifted school for English-fluent students looking to study advanced language arts concepts. I obtained my bachelor's in English literature and my master's in secondary English education from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. I have recently relocated to the United States and am anxious to continue my teaching career.My enthusiasm for teaching is boundless. My aim is to promote global citizenship and a broader understanding of our post-technological revolution world through bettering understanding of the English language, its contextual intricacies, and global communication. I have worked hard to build holistic environments which encourage questioning, student-created content, and a consistent focus on language processing.Now, on a more casual note, I love traveling and have done it extensively throughout North America, Asia, and Europe. I also love to bake, am extremely extroverted, and have been trained as a choral singer since I was 7. I like to think of myself as laid-back, but professional and highly driven. I find myself comfortable in almost every situation I find myself in!I look forward to speaking with you further about how I can best help you reach your goals!

I have 3 years of experience as a math tutor, and I want to keep doing this as much as I can because I love being a good teacher and I enjoy making people more comfortable with math.

My name is Amanda, and I'm a Biomedical Engineering student at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I've spent the last few years living deep in math, science, and engineering, everything from calculus and differential equations to genetics, fluid dynamics, and systems modeling. Along the way I've found that I enjoy explaining the "why" behind problems just as much as solving them myself, which is what draws me to tutoring with Varsity Tutors. In my own coursework, I've often been the person classmates text when they're stuck before an exam or lab report. I'm used to breaking down dense material, building step-by-step roadmaps through practice problems, and turning intimidating topics into patterns that actually make sense. In research and internship settings, I've also had to translate complex technical ideas into clear language for people with very different backgrounds, which has strengthened my ability to meet students where they are. My tutoring style is patient, structured, and collaborative. Early on, I like to figure out how a student thinks, what they already know, where the gaps are, and what their goals and timelines look like. From there, I focus on building a strong conceptual foundation, then layering in strategies for problem-solving, test-taking, and independent study so that they leave each session more confident and more capable of tackling work on their own. Ultimately, I want students to feel that they have someone in their corner who genuinely cares about their progress. Helping a student go from "I'm just not a math/science person" to "I can actually do this" is one of the most rewarding experiences I know, and I'd be excited to bring that energy and support to Varsity Tutors.

I'm a graduate of both the University of Alabama and the University of Tennessee, and I hold Master's degrees in both Library and Information Studies and European History. As one whose life was influenced for the better by my teachers and instructors, I want to share the love of learning with my students. As one with more than eight years of teaching experience, I look forward to being of help to you in your learning journey. My special passions are European and U.S. History, Literature, and Latin.

I just recently graduated from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, with a Bachelor of Engineering in the field of Aerospace Engineering. In the fall, I begin graduate courses for a Masters degree in the same subject, all the while working as a Teaching Assistant in our Engineering Fundamentals program. My tutoring experience is, although limited, in advanced subjects that appear in the third or fourth year of undergraduate level classes. This said, I believe I possess the mindset and the passion to educate students, as I have already been qualified to do this at the professional level.My favorite subjects involve a combination of math and real world sciences, most notably anything that falls under the category of physics. I am also very well versed in computational syntaxing, I have written thousands of lines of code and amiably make competition out of the process with my classmates.When I teach, I go at the students pace, never moving on if a topic isn't properly understood. I approach the issue from as many angles as practically possible, so that success is maximized. Even if a student understands a topic well, I may entertain a different perspective, to keep any potential doubt from lingering. And as always, a positive atmosphere is highly conducive to the learning environment.When I can I like to build and fix things, paint/draw, play guitar, write poetry, read novels/graphics, learn new words, watch superhero TV shows, run, and probably other things because there are so many I can't keep track of them all!I love learning and I love sharing what I have learned. I have a deep respect for education, it has the potential to empower people and transform lineages. I identify with my students because I am still a student--one of my peers, my environment, and of myself. Tutoring those in need would be the least I could do, because keeping knowledge to oneself is a terrible fault. Also, seeing the aha moment in a student's eyes fills me with an unparalleled vigor (selfishness for the greater good).

I received my MS in math from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and my BS in math from Augusta University. I was pursuing a PhD in math at UTK so I have 5 years of teaching experience on top of 4 years of tutoring experience in undergrad. I love helping students one-on-one and that's why I tutored middle and high schoolers privately while also working at the math lab at AU tutoring adults. I tutor any math class from middle school to undergraduate, and I also excel with test prep (SAT, GRE, etc.). My approach to tutoring is helping students understand not only how you complete a problem but why we complete the problem that way; I also try to instill academic confidence in my students.

I am a senior level college student majoring in French and Francophone Studies with a minor in World Language and ESL education. I am passionate about both teaching and the French language, and I am so grateful I have this opportunity to do both.My love for French was discovered in high school. From the very beginning, it clicked with me and I knew within my first few French classes I wanted to make a career out of it.Throughout high school, I tutored French and took on as much learning as I could, whether it be helping grade papers, scouring McKay's for books written in French, etc.With language, I think the best way to learn is through immersion and contextual based curriculum.Outside of French some other subjects I love are English, History, Math, and anything to do with Art.In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my horse and dog, hiking, or just being outside in general.

I am currently in my fourth year of medical school at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Learning science is my passion, but I also enjoy running, trying new food, and reading classic books. I would love to be part of your journey by helping you love mastering the task at hand. No doubt, you will see your best results once you have learned to enjoy the grind of becoming an expert of the material placed before you. Together, we can learn to enjoy the process as well as enjoy the results you will achieve. Whether you are working through upper-level science courses to complete a pre-med degree, taking the MCAT before applying to medical school, or studying for the USMLE Step 1 or 2 exams to get into the residency of your dreams, I can help you achieve your goal. With whatever content we are mastering together, we will work to be as organized and planned as possible. "Those who fail to plan, plan to fail!"

I am studying Biological Sciences; I am also on the pre-medicine track. After tutoring Science Olympiad students in high school, I have learned to understand the material from a students' perspective. I try to anticipate the types of questions a student might have, and answer them to the best of my abilities. I also try to teach the same material using different learning styles to make sure my students fully understand the concepts. I like to play Tennis and Ultimate Frisbee during my free time. I play intramural Tennis and club Ultimate Frisbee at University of Tennessee. I also like to read, paint, and cook.

I am a medical student with a passion for science, research, mentorship, and advocacy!I love helping students achieve their academic goals.I have worked with students with dyslexia, ADHD, and Autism to create schedules and plans to help them achieve their academic goals.I love all things science and health. During my free time, I love traveling, listening to music, and trying new things.
