We're all learning together. Mistakes are part of life, and with practice and patience, we can always grow and improve. Everyone has strengths and challenges, and trying is what matters most. I have six and a half years of experience teaching English in Japan to students of all ages.I'm passionate about tutoring because I love helping students gain confidence in a relaxed, supportive environment where progress is celebrated and learning feels achievable.

Back in high school I started a tutoring group to help my basketball teammates with math problems, it was then I realized I was destined to be a teacher.Math has always been my favorite subject, although I feel like I'm different than most "math lovers". Solving math problems didn't always come me easy to me, I had to work hard and study hard to get good grades. I believe it is this very thing that makes me a great math teacher. I can relate to the students and their struggles, all while keeping them motivated to work hard and be successful. I believe if I can do it my students can too!!With all of that being said, I have been passionately teaching math for the past 15 years at the middle school and early high school level. I would love to branch out of just my community and find other to help, so what better way to do that than through Varsity Tutors.

Hi - I am your tutor (or instructor)I live in New York state. I am excited to be your instructor and I am sure we will have a successful experience.Take a look at my background (Doing this presentation so you know you are communicating with a real live person and not a robot).I am a retired engineer from the General Electric Company.

Hello! I am a high school teacher of Introduction to Biology, Algebra 2 and AP Biology. I have been at my current school for the past two years, and taught at another school for two years before that. At my previous school, I taught Environmental Science and Biology. My first experience as a teacher was right out of college, when I taught summer courses in Biology and Algebra 1. I graduated from Union College in Schenectady, NY, after attending the Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, CT. Throughout all of my education, I have always been drawn to the sciences, particularly Biology. My major in college was in Biological Sciences, with a concentration in Molecular Biology. Because of the enthusiasm and curiosity that my Microbiology teacher in high school instilled in me, I was inspired to work with students to try and turn on that same interest in science after college. My mother has taught for over 30 years, so it must be in my blood! My passion in the classroom is helping students to realize their true awareness of the natural world around them, and I use labs, visuals, models, and a variety of other methods to help them better understand the complex concepts in science. Many students come into the class thinking that the sciences are very difficult and that one must have a predisposition towards them to succeed, but I enjoy showing them that the sciences, particularly Biology, are very simple and elegant. In my Algebra classes, I try to show students how topics can expand beyond the borders of the classroom, also by using a variety of visuals and models. Sometimes, certain students need more than just good analogies and thorough explanations to help them succeed, and this often requires learning effective organizational and study skills. I frequently work with students outside of the classroom to design better ways to schedule their time, and organize their materials. In my free time, I am an avid fan of exploring St. Louis! This is only my second year living in the Midwest and I have been enjoying discovering new parks and neighborhoods whenever I can find time. I like to travel, as well, and visit friends and family on the East Coast, but I feel as if St. Louis has become my new home.

I am a current Ph.D student at the University of Texas at Dallas. I received my bachelors of science in Mathematics with honors from Union College. While in undergrad, I spent all four years working as a course assistant, aiding professors with grading and coursework. I also volunteered with Girls Inc all four years, tutoring students in grades 1-5 in a range of topics, but mostly math. During the summers, I worked with the academic outreach program, as an RA and a tutor for students going into their first year at Union College. Now as a Ph.D student, I have spent two years as a TA for undergraduate students, mostly working in calculus based courses. I find tutoring an incredibly rewarding process; fostering a students growth, working closely with a few students, and really breaking through educational barriers that are difficult to tackle in a large classroom setting.

I am a graduate of Union Adventist University as well as Western Governors University. I have a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a master's degree in mathematics education. I have worked with students from 3rd grade through high school seniors. I am passionate about math and science but have worked with students in all subjects. Outside of academics, I love aviation, cross country skiing, biking, kayaking, baseball, my dog Jack, traveling, and hanging out with my friends.

I am very versatile and have a background of teaching students from various backgrounds and on many different subjects. I have taught English abroad to five year old students, and have also worked with college students as a Teaching Assistant at the University of Hawaii while in graduate school. I am passionate about helping people grow and learn and looking forward to working with you!

Hi! My name is Jenna and I just received my masters in education from Clarkson University, specializing in 7-12 English. Currently, I am in Mexico City nannying for a family and working on my Spanish as well (I intend to become certified in teaching Spanish when I come home).Thus, I am qualified to teach English (reading, writing, grammar, etc.) and Spanish (reading, writing, grammar, etc). To able to tutor is a gift to me, as this profession couples two of my favorite passionsworking with students and exploring the humanities.I have about a year and a half of teaching experience. I did a two full semesters of student teaching (adding up to one year) and I have worked for a year at an elementary school being a permanent substitute. Thus, I have experience working with students ranging from kindergarten to 11th grade.My teaching philosophy is that everyone is worthy of receiving an education. Tutoring is such a great way to ensure that this becomes a reality for our kids. Every student deserves respect, patience, excitement, and faith, and I showcase these qualities in every single interaction I have with my students. Let the learning commence! :)

I received my B.S. from Union College where I majored in Chemistry and double minored in Dance and Theatrical Makeup. I then received my M.S. from Boston College where I specialized in Organic Chemistry. I have been teaching Chemistry and Physical Science in public and private high school for the past 3 years. I have been doing private tutoring Chemistry since I was a sophomore in college. I particularly love showing students how what they are studying is directly related to the world around them using traditional lecture as well as interactive visuals. I truly believe every student can succeed at science and do everything in my power to instill a passion and love for science in all my students. Outside of science, I spend most of my free time reading, running or performing in various dance companies.

I have spent most of the last 20 years teaching and training others both in the classroom and on-the-job. I have a B.S. in Chemistry and Biology as well as an M.A. in Biology. I have taught college-level courses in Introductory Biology, Microbiology, and Anatomy and Physiology. Though, I also teach non-majors, most of my students are planning careers in health care fields such as nursing and respiratory therapy. I also have experience teaching HS level Biology and Integrated Chemistry and Physics as well as math remediation courses for those not prepared for Algebra. I have worked with students of all ages, but I have a particular passion for teaching and working with adults. I particularly enjoy helping adult students overcome their fear of math and science.

I am a student at Union College and I am studying as a pre-med student with a diuble major in Biology and Psychology. I am a member of my school's Leadership in Medicine (LIM) program, which enables me to earn a Bachelors of Sciences as well as an M.B.A. in Healthcare Management during my time at Union College. After graduation, I will automatically matriculate to Albany Medical College, where I plan to complete my four years of medical school. During my time at Union, I have volunteered as a tutor and mentor for disadvantaged elementary school students with a local after school program known as C.O.C.O.A House (Children of Our Community Open to Achievement). Working at C.O.C.O.A House taught me many lessons about teaching, patience, and how to truly listen to students when guiding them through difficult subjects. I teach many subjects that I am passionate about, such as English, History, Science, and Math. My favorite thing to do with students is have them explain concepts back to me, so that they can build up their own confidence in their knowledge and understanding of the material. In my free time, I enjoy working out, playing tennis, learning how to cook, playing video games, and reading.

I have a BS in Mathematics from Union College and a Master's in Public Health from the University of Pittsburgh. I took a break from tutoring mathematics to pursue my other interests in the field of healthcare. I focused on community health and had the opportunity to work with people from all backgrounds and of all ages. I truly enjoy helping others and watching them succeed in whatever area of life they want; that is why I like being a tutor. Previously, I tutored algebra in high school and went on to tutor all levels of math in college with a focus on Calculus and the core skills needed to succeed in that subject. I really enjoyed my time tutoring in college because I really got to know students and watch them progress over the entire class duration. Building that relationship with students is what I enjoy most because it creates a fun environment for learning where students can feel comfortable discussing struggles openly while working toward the ultimate goal of understanding and critical thinking skills. In my spare time, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, reading, exercising, baking and doing crafts.
