I've always been passionate about sharing knowledge with students. I love learning new things, and I really enjoy helping students do the same. The best part about helping students is that I learn new ideas from them as well!Being a teacher has been my goal since I was a kid. All through high school and college, I tutored students, mostly math topics. I also did some student teaching while earning my degree. Since then, I have had the chance to teach college courses along with tutoring students online. Right now I help with some online math courses targeted at students from other countries. It's been interesting seeing how other cultures approach mathematics.I earned a math degree from Truman State University. After that, I went to graduate school at the University of Missouri in Columbia.I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics, and a masters degree in statisticsI tutor all levels of algebra, along My favorite subject to tutor is statistics. Every day we see statistics in the real world, and I like that I get to teach students how to interpret and analyze that information from a mathematical perspective.I recognize that some people really struggle with mathematics. Sometimes math can seem like learning a new language. As a tutor and instructor, my goal is to give students the tools needed to connect and build on ideas, rather than just memorizing formulas. I like to keep students involved by asking questions. I also want my students to ask me questions. Together we work together to put the ideas in the simplest terms.I enjoy activities that involve problem solving, like jigsaw puzzles. I also like baking treats, and eating them! Plus I'm a big fan of board games and trivia nights with friends.

I am a public policy graduate student at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.I have been working with Varsity Tutors for 7 years, and my students have demonstrated improvement in test scores and class grades across subjects.I attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon, where I studied English, and wrote a thesis on female archetypes in Victorian literature.Additionally, I worked in the Reed College admissions office during my undergraduate studies, so I have a strong understanding of what colleges look for in prospective students.
In the past, I have had great experience working as an English tutor. I did one-on-one English tutoring with K-12 Chinese students and also taught classes of small sizes for four years. The subjects were mainly English reading and speaking. Also, I have taught English with college students for nine years and instructed them pass national English tests, TOEFL, and IELTS for two and a half years. In 2013-2014, I was accepted by a Fulbright program and taught Chinese at Truman State University. The content of my teaching was Chinese writing, grammar, speaking, and reading. All through these years, I really love working with my students. I have great patience and enthusiasm to motivate them in learning languages. I feel great joy and accomplished when I see my students make progress and achieve their goals with my help. As for teaching, I am always punctual and plan lessons carefully beforehand. Besides, I am very flexible in terms of adjusting my teaching methods to work with different students.
I graduated from Truman State University with a BA in Mathematics and a MA in Education. I taught 8th grade math for three years. I tutored students ranging from kindergarten to adult in math, reading, study skills, and test prep at a National learning center for seven years. I have been tutoring independently for three years. My current subjects include elementary and middle school math, pre-Algebra, Algebra Algebra 2, Geometry, study skills and ACT test prep. I want students to succeed and understand math. I relate new topics to what a student understands and build off of that. I am patient and I can usually find another way to explain something if a student is struggling with a concept. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our six children.
I graduated this past May with a B.S. in Physics and minors in mathematics and astronomy from Truman State University in Kirksville, MO. I am currently pursuing a M.S. in Data Analytics and Visualization from the Katz School at Yeshiva University in New York City, NY.I have experience tutoring math and physics for the past three years. I really enjoy helping students figure out how to learn. Having struggled with math in high school and working up to a degree in physics, I am someone who has gone through the process of learning how to learn myself. My tutoring style largely depends on each students strengths and unique way of thinking. I hope to encourage students to tap into their skills, mature their critical thinking, and heighten their creativity in problem solving using science and math.
Hello, my name is Emily and I am so excited to learn with you! I have been teaching professionally for 3 and a half years as an elementary teacher. Most recently I was teaching ESL for adults in Prague. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Education. I have a passion for learning and teaching, especially English! I have taught reading, writing, and grammar. I am a certified teacher and I have taken the Praxis exams. I am highly qualified to help you with these exams. I love tutoring people of all ages. My philosophy is that the teacher should not be the one talking most of the time. The students should be leading the class and doing most of the speaking. Therefore, I make my class a warm, safe environment so that everyone feels comfortable learning together. I can't wait to meet you soon!
Hi, my name is Rachel and I am a certified high school and middle school science teacher. I am taking a break from the classroom, but available to tutor students during the week. I work with students from 6th grade up to graduate programs in their sciences, specifically biology and evolution, but I can often help in other sciences as well. I look forward to meeting and working with all of you amazing students. I'm also highly skilled in English/writing and literature and some history and social studies. I am good with special needs, neurodiverse children and adults, and can help in executive functioning as well as prepare for tests such as ACT/SAT exams. I would be thrilled for the opportunity to meet with new students and start helping them achieve their educational goals.
Getting students where they need to be in the academic world is one of my passions, because I had to work really hard in school as well to get where i really wanted to be. Let me motivate, tutor, and teach you in your learning style so that you can get over your own academic hurdles.
I am a professional teacher and writer with more than a decade of experience teaching students of all ages. I have a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in English as well as a Master of Education with a focus on teaching culturally and linguistically diverse and exceptional learners. I love learning new things and seeing the world, and I feel honored to share my experience and curiosity with my students.
I'm a recent graduate of Truman State University with a degree in economics. I discovered my major later in my college career, so I'm intimately familiar with what it's like to pick up new subjects quickly to get up to speed. My favorite courses have always been those that featured a strong writing and speaking component, as they allow for the deliberate exploration and then presentation of one's ideas. Thus, while I love economics, writing and public speaking will always be near and dear to my heart. The subjects I tutor include writing, college and high school economics, public speaking, and middle school reading. Outside of class, you can probably find me working as a bike mechanic, making coffee, or trail-running.
