I am a graduate of the University of the West Indies in Jamaica where I completed my BS in Molecular Biology and will obtain my MS in Biotechnology in Fall 2022 from the University of South Florida . I work in an Immunology lab and I have 3 years of experience teaching English to Chinese students ages 4-14 with demonstrated success in improving their phonics, grammar and reading skills. I love to teach and I am passionate about inspiring the younger generation to be armed with character and grit, and to take on the future with fervor and diligence. Furthermore, I aim to incorporate this zest into my teaching style. I will currently be teaching English at the Elementary and Middle school level and as a foreign language. In addition, I will be teaching Pre-AP/AP Biology, GED Science, and Study/Organizational Skills. I am excited to meet each and every one of you and beyond thrilled to build long-lasting relationships and work closely together to successfully achieve your academic goals.

I have been teaching people of all ages and abilities for 30 years. I love helping people learn and master new skills. I can help with music, and elementary math and language arts. I have a Bachelors Degree and lots of patience!
I have been tutoring now for about 8 years. The subjects I have tutored in range from pre-algebra to calculus. Also I have tutored in Chemistry. In fact my degree is in Chemistry. I have a B. A. in Chemistry from USF. I did 2 years in graduate school at USF. Also I have a M. A. in education from Kaplan University. When I tutor somebody I try to help them to the best of my ability.
I am a full time student at University of South Florida, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. During my free time, I like to tutor students in math subjects such as Elementary, Middle, Algebra 1/2, and Calc 1. I've been tutoring for about a year now and have tutored 100+ students. My teaching philosophy is that students should be taught things in a way they understand. In addition, teaching prerequisite knowledge is important.
I am a graduate of the University of South Florida with a bachelors degree in Elementary Education. I have been a classroom teacher since 2010, however I discovered many years ago that I have a passion for tutoring students, working one on one to determine their obstacles for learning and then help them discover what strategies work best for them to overcome their challenges and build their self confidence. Although I have tutored students in grades K-7, and a few adults to take the TABE assessment, I especially like working with the younger age levels to help them achieve a strong foundation of skills to build upon. I have also worked extensively with children on the Autism spectrum. I feel it is essential to build a healthy relationship with my students so they feel safe and secure in their learning environment. Also, the better I know my student the more able I am to provide them with unique and meaningful learning experiences to spur their natural curiosity and keep them motivated. It is also important to teach them that making mistakes is part of the learning process and how to grow from the experience. My overall goal as a tutor is to foster students with a passion for learning and an excitement for discovery as well as help them build a healthy self image and resiliency to overcome challenges and succeed.
I am a higher education professional and college professor with over a decade of experience supporting students in academic success, writing, and long-term educational planning. I currently work as an Academic Advisor at a public university, where I advise hundreds of undergraduate students each year across a wide range of academic, professional, and personal challenges related to college success. I hold two master's in Political Science and one in Cybersecurity. This combination allows me to support students not only with course content, but with critical thinking, research, writing, organization, and study strategies that carry across disciplines. My tutoring style is collaborative, supportive, and structured. I meet students where they are, identify what's holding them back, and help them develop strategies that work for their learning just for one assignment, but for future success.
Make the most out of life.
I was someone who always knew I wanted to be in education. I received my bachelor's degree in psychology and master's in education at the University of South Florida. I am in my 10th year teaching, 8 years in 3rd grade and the last two years working in ESE with K-5 students. I love working with students who are struggling and being there when something finally "clicks"! I currently tutor in reading, written responses and math. I know testing is a stressful time for students and have experience working through different strategies to help them during those times.
Nerd alert: I love all things grammar, writing, and literature. After teaching high school English for 14 years, I am switching to online tutoring in order to focus my efforts on helping students one-on-one with anything from SAT/ACT prep, essay writing, college admission essays, literary analysis, and all the punctuation rules in the world. My "other" job is refinishing old furniture into new and glorious pieces for resale. I also have a husband and son who love it when I correct their grammar.
I have spent a majority of my life within an academic environment. Along the way I have acquired a BSBA in Finance and Marketing, a Juris Doctorate, and a Masters in Business Administration with concentrations in Finance and Management. I have worked with several banks ranging from investment to commercial. I have studied financial compliance. I have passed the Florida Bar Examination.I believe in tailoring academia to a specific student(s) needs, strengths, weaknesses, and requirements. Each subject is different, and no two students are alike. Mastering subject matter can be accomplished in several formats, not simply the most commonly used method. A strong foundation and thorough understanding of basic concepts permits the creation of an efficient pathway to more complicated material that can be easily comprehended at each stage.I have recently stepped away from the private sector in an effort to give back to the community that gave so much to me. I volunteer regularly at various organizations. I teach yoga. Now, I have determined that reaching back to my roots in the academia and sharing the knowledge gained can make all the difference in a student's education and enrichment.
I have taught K-6 Reading, Math, Social Studies, and Science for the past 5 years. I absolutely love helping students reach their academic goals and encouraging them along the way!
Accounting and Business tutor in the Austin area.Background:I graduated from a 5-year accounting program at the University of South Florida and went on to pass the Certified Public Accounting exam and work as an accountant/auditor for a large public accounting firm. Most of my time is now spent on small business strategy and start-ups. I have enjoyed being an accounting and business tutor for a couple years and also coach racquetball.Anyone can pass accounting tests with great grades! Accounting is just a system that we have to learn from the ground up. Usually when we are anxious or nervous about a class, it's just because we missed something or aren't sure what to focus on. I was fortunate to have great coaches when studying for hard tests and it really helped me stay focused and still have fun while being a student. I can help you really understand the topics and focus on the right things so there's not much time wasted studying. I believe in you!
I am a passionate, patient and experienced professional that loves to help people develop and reach their goals. I work with each person to individualize the most efficient and effective plan on their learning journey. My social services background is a valuable asset I bring into my tutoring role because I am able to assess and meet people where they are and build from that.
Currently, I am a professor with 12 years of experience teaching freshman to doctoral level courses at a 4-year university. I have experience teaching anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, neuroscience and pathophysiology.
I am currently a 3rd year student at the University of Florida studying Computer Science, working toward an eventual master's degree. I have worked with students in a larger group setting through my volunteer work in my local community center's Youth Tutoring Program and one-on-one, tutoring a child with learning disabilities over zoom over the pandemic. I like to focus on providing a thorough explanation and making sure a student understands a question conceptually, rather than just how to do it, while also going over important test-taking strategies. I tutor both SAT Math and Reading/Writing. I believe that learning how to deal with high-pressure testing like the SAT helps students prepare for the kinds of difficult testing environments they will encounter more regularly during college.
I am a seasoned teacher and enjoy working with Elementary students of all ages. I like supporting my students to achieve autonomy with want they are learning. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary/Early childhood Education and a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership. I am eager to support learning in any way I can.
I am an M.D., M.S, having graduated from New York Medical College with my Medical Degree and from Tulane University with my Master of Science in Clinical Research Methods. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences from the University of South Florida. While I am able to tutor a broad range of subjects in both math and science, I am most passionate about teaching any of the medical sciences (anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, internal medicine, pediatric medicine, etc.), research and research-related subjects (epidemiology, statistics, etc.), and biological sciences at all educational levels. I also feel confident in my abilities to teach math and science, as it relates to standardized test preparation (USMLE, MCAT, ACT, and SAT). Throughout my own academic career, I have found that I am particularly adept at teaching others of all ages and educational levels. For example, as a medical student, I was often required to educate fellow medical students, pre-medical students, resident and attending physicians, nurses, and the remainder of the healthcare team about patients, medical conditions, journal articles, etc. Teaching and informing these individuals, who all had differing levels of education, at the same time was tricky, but I found that I was able to tailor my teaching to the entire audience, so as to ensure that everyone understood what was being discussed. This is both my teaching philosophy and tutoring style. No one teaching style works best for everyone, and I pride myself on ensuring that every tutoring session will be conducted in a manner which best helps each particular student grasp the topics being discussed. Outside of academia, I enjoy playing my guitar, listening to all types of music, reading, watching movies and TV shows, playing organized sports, and watching sports, in particular the glorious sport of ice hockey. Go Bolts!
Standardized tests and AP classes can feel like a mountain of stress, but I'm here to help you navigate them without burning out. I've been through the gauntlet myself, scoring a 1570 on the SAT, a 1510 on the PSAT, and earning 4s and 5s on my AP exams. My goal is to hand you the exact playbook, strategies, and pacing tricks I used to succeed, broken down in a way that actually makes sense to you.
I am a college student attending the University of South Florida but am originally from North Carolina. I love helping people in any way I can so never feel anxious or afraid to ask me questions! My favorite subjects are maths and sciences and I enjoy watching movies and TV shows, going to the gym, and attending school.
I'm Jessie. I'm 31 with a BA in Theatre Arts from USF and a minor in American Sign Language, an MBA from St. Leo University, and an Ed.S and an Ed.D. from St. Leo as well. I've worked as a professional nanny and a substitute teacher for Hillsborough County through Kelly Educational Staffing, and I currently teach American Sign Language and Theatre at the high school level, full-time. I have experience working with children with Autism, dyslexia, and other emotional, mental, and developmental disorders.
My name is Diego Pardo. Originally from Cali, Colombia, I'm completing a B.S. in Mathematics with a Physics minor at the University of Florida. I've been tutoring since my school years in Colombia. I cover everything from Pre-Algebra and Geometry through Calculus 1 & 2, Statistics, and Physics, including AP Calculus AB, AP Physics, IB Mathematics, and IB Physics. I don't believe in memorizing formulas. Real understanding is intuitive; when you truly get a concept, the formula follows naturally. We learn by doing: I'll walk you through exercises step by step, listening to how you think, so I can pinpoint exactly where the confusion is. In my experience, most students aren't struggling with the current topic; they're missing something from an earlier course that nobody caught. I find that gap and fix it. I'm fully bilingual in English and Spanish, and happy to tutor in either. Let's have a productive and entertaining lesson.
Greetings, I am pleased to introduce myself. My name is Queen, and I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Science from the University of South Florida, home of the Bulls. During my time at USF, I also became a member of The National Society of Leadership and Success, completing their rigorous program to enhance my leadership skills and academic achievements. Throughout my academic journey, I discovered my passion for Algebra and Biology, excelling in both subjects. In my final year of college, I had the rewarding experience of working as a substitute teacher for Kelly Educational Services. This role allowed me to teach students ranging from Pre-K to high school in Hillsborough County, Tampa, Florida. It was here that I developed strong skills and confidence in working with students of all ages. My time as a substitute teacher ignited a passion in me for helping students learn and understand their coursework, particularly in mathematics. I believe that math is an essential and fundamental part of our daily lives, and it is the subject I am most eager to tutor. My goal is to help students not only improve their math skills but also develop a genuine understanding and appreciation for the subject. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to help students achieve their academic goals.
As a passionate advocate for STEM education, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of South Florida, where I developed a strong foundation in subjects like biology, physics, and calculus. Although I have experience tutoring for less than a year, I have engaged in diverse teaching roles, including mentoring high school students in a biomedical engineering program and tutoring underclassmen in college-level courses. My approach focuses on understanding each student's unique background and learning style, allowing me to break down complex concepts into manageable parts. I find joy in fostering a supportive learning environment where students can build confidence and independence in their studies. I am excited to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers through engaging and creative methods.
I hold a BS in Social Science Education and have tutored and taught multiple subjects and age groups throughout my academic career. I currently teach APUSH and AP Human Geography along with Economics and U.S. Government As an experienced tutor, I see tutoring as a way to share my love for lifelong learning with students on an individual basis. I believe that each student has the ability to be a successful learner, it is my job to help them determine how they learn best. My goal is to build up the confidence of your student and to help them to achieve their goals. My experience both inside the classroom and as a tutor enable me to help to provide a balance to assist in the success of your student. In addition to multiple subjects in the social science field, I also work with SAT/ACT/PSAT prep. I enjoy helping students plan and prepare for college;helping to hone their skills to be successful in the admissions process. I view these subjects as a puzzle and a way of understanding the process of test taking skills. In my spare time I enjoy reading historical novels, gardening, horseback riding and pursuing my Master's Degree in History.

I hold a Master's degree in History from the University of South Florida and am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Education at Walden University. With nearly a decade of experience supporting learners from early childhood through high school, I've tutored a wide range of subjects including Math, Science, English, History, Civics, and Test Prep. History is my favorite subject to teach because it builds critical thinking and helps students connect past events to the world they live in today. I love guiding learners toward those "aha" moments when everything finally clicks. My tutoring style is patient, encouraging, and studentcentered. I focus on building confidence through active listening, clear explanations, and personalized support. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading historical fiction, writing music, volunteering, and studying world languages.

Think Newton skipped learning grade school Math or Earth Science and went straight to laying down the groundwork for Physics and Calculus? Not quite. He understood the importance of comprehending the basics.Whether it's Algebra 1 or AP Physics, Geography or International Relations, however complex or simply the question may be, don't let the material intimidate you. I'm here to help you achieve beyond your perceived limits.
My professional career starts at the University of South Florida where I majored in Social Science Education with a minor in Africana Studies. Each summer I either worked at an academic summer camp in Miami with kids Grades 3-5 or at a Nike Sports Camp in Boston with kids 8-18. My first teaching gig was with Economics in Grade 12 and Special Education with a focus on Math. I added the Math Grades 6-12 to my teaching certification and I've been teaching math ever since. I taught 5 years in Florida but also spent 6 years in Qatar teaching secondary math from grades 6-12. I was also at an IB school where I'm familiar with IB MYP and DP Math AI SL. Now I'm back in Florida ready for the new challenges in front of me. I can tutor everything from Special education to Geography to Grade 3 math all the way up to Pre-Calculus. I can even sprinkle in some beginner level French. I'm open to students of all kinds of backgrounds and would love to be your next tutor.
I have been a math teacher for 3 years, and I am currently in the process of a career change. I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Mathematics Education from the University of South Florida.
Certainly Knowledge is Power and a path to Success, but Knowledge is also Pleasurable, Beautiful and a path to Respect for Oneself and Others. My goal as an Educator is to guide Students to Love to Learn and to become Lifetime Self-Educators.The running theme of my professional career has been the meeting place between the Written Word and the Visual Image. Examples of this range from the Medieval Illuminated Manuscript to the Modern Graphic Novel; Renaissance Era Emblems to current Pop Music Artist's Logos; Classic Illustrated Children's Books to the latest Movie Poster.I practiced this myself by working as a professional Cartoonist and Illustrator for over 35 years. I gradually shifted my weight toward Teaching and discovered how much I loved guiding students to understand and appreciate the vast body of knowledge available to us in the Humanities (Arts & Letters).I completed my Masters Thesis on the Illuminated Poetry of William Blake (1757-1827). Blake combined all of his Poetic Compositions with Etched Illustrations printed on his own home studio Printing Press and hand colorized them. I received my MLA degree in 2003 from the University of South Florida in Tampa.Parents, allow me to partner with you in guiding your student toward academic success. Student, let me work with your parent or guardian to help you master subjects that have been mystifying or even tormenting you. Or maybe you merely need to discover more efficient study methods; so you have time to achieve other goals you have for your life. Either way, I look forward to assisting you this year as a Varsity Tutor!
As an Environmental Science tutor, I am passionate about understanding and preserving our planet's ecosystems. With a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science and Policy, I have a solid foundation in ecological principles, climate science, and sustainable practices. My recent academic journey and an internship with the local government equipped me with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. My tutoring approach fosters a deep understanding of environmental concepts through interactive learning and real-world case studies. I aim to inspire students to become proactive stewards of the environment. With strong communication skills and a patient teaching style, I tailor my methods to meet each student's unique learning needs. I am excited to share my knowledge and passion with students, helping them excel academically and develop a commitment to sustainable living. Together, we can explore our natural world and contribute to its preservation for future generations.
My favorite subject has to be math. It is a language of its own, and not everybody understands it, at first. I would like to help people understand math because it is a subject that, once learned, not only becomes something that will help you in life but something you will love as well.
I am a recent graduate of The University of South Florida with a degree in Biomedical Sciences and a minor in Psychology. My goal is to attend medical school and become a doctor. Growing up the oldest of three siblings, I have been helping others with their studies as long as I can remember. I realized I had a passion for teaching during undergrad, assuming a teaching/leading role during labs and in organic chemistry studies. It was very fulfilling to help other student gain an understanding and mastery over what are very difficult concepts. I primarily focus on teaching ACT/SAT test prep as I am currently studying for my MCATs and know how stressful standardized tests can be at times. My goal when working with students is to relieve some of this test anxiety by preparing students for what they will see on test day as well as building confidence in students by using effective test strategies. My hobbies include watching and playing sports, listening to rock music (my favorite band is Tool), and watching movies.
I am dedicated to learning. I am currently working on my own advanced degree and I experience fulfillment through helping others to learn.
I come from China, and came to United States at January 2012. I received my master degree in science from University of South Florida, majored in Finance.When I was in college back in China, I tutored a boy English for two years.He was in fourth grade when I started. His English teacher in school said he had trouble to follow up with what he was teaching. After 2 months, his score went to top 10 of his class. After I came to the States, I helped my friends' children to learn Mandarin during the summer of 2012. They were two 7 and 9 year-old brothers, both American Born Chinese. Their parents wanted them to speak Mandarin. After that summer, the boys can communicate in Mandarin. I enjoyed my tutoring with these children. It makes me feel fulfilling and I find myself can be very patient and effective with my students in language learning. Also my students seems to have a lot of fun in learning, because I used some fun ways instead of just teaching textbook.Languages are complicated subjects. I like to make different plans for different students, focus on what they are weak in or want to learn most, and use various methods to achieve our goal.In my spare time, I like reading books, watching movies, running and singing. I used to go to karaoke all the time with my friends when I was in China. (Speaking of Friends, that is my favorite TV series. The six gave me great joy. But most of all, they were always loyal and honest with each other. That's what I learned from them.)
I have a Masters Degree in Adult Education from the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida, and a Bachelors Degree from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, FL. My experience in tutoring spans from Elementary school to college/adult students. I was also hired as an English-Speaking Teacher by the Korean government (SOME) in Seoul, S. Korea. I have had the privilege of meeting students from every walk of life and I am forever grateful for that. Yet, my expertise in tutoring is NOT limited to my education and teaching experience. I have learned also from my experiences during my early high school years. I didnt take education seriously and thus I didnt think I could learn. However, as I progressed up the Education ladder and attained my Masters Degree, I made a promise to myself and to those I have taught and will teach, that I will teach with an understanding and compassion for the learner who can learn, but who may not have the confidence. The truth is, everyone can learn. Its just that sometimes we need help discovering that we can accomplish more than we think.

I motivate my students to reach their potential with every project they take on. My goal as an educator is to spark joy and excitement during the learning process and set my students up for success.I love to teach adults and children of all ages. I am a born storyteller, and I enjoy helping others tell their stories with passion and purpose.I have a BA in English Creative Writing with a concentration in Poetry and am an MFA candidate in Poetry at Queens University of Charlotte. My writing has been published in several literary journals, including *Thread* and *Coastlines*.Outside of teaching, reading, and writing, I love singing, crocheting, enjoying delicious food, and spending time with my loved ones.
Hi! I'm Gabrielle. In high school, I was a high achieving student. I earned the title of valedictorian and was awarded a National Merit Scholarship. This gave me access to a full ride at the University of Florida, where I fell in love with science and became a Chemical Engineer. I have spent 3 years as a pharmaceutical engineer and recently scored a 99% MCAT, earning me a spot in the USF Morsani College of Medicine Class of 2030. One of the reasons that I love tutoring is that I experienced the hardship of trying to learn STEM material. I am not a naturally gifted student - it was only through working with others, practicing, and talking through the subjects that I was able to succeed. I have put in the effort to get where I am and know that, with the same dedication, you can succeed in your studies as well! I hope to share the lessons I've learned as a scientist. If you think we would align, don't hesitate to schedule a session. I look forward to meeting you soon!
