Hello! My name is Emily and I have been an educator for 6 years now. I have been lucky enough to teach in early childhood and elementary education. I have received a Masters in Reading Specialist for Elementary. I have received a post-masters in Special Education. I have ample years of working with elementary curriculums. I am excited to tutor your scholar!

I fully believe that building strong relationships with my students and their families is what leads to success. I have worked in the behavior field for 20 years and have taught emotional support for 15 years. The most important thing to me is that my students feel valued and loved when they come to school. Personally, I find that they work harder and put effort in when they feel respected and have someone to listen to them.

I am currently a student at West Chester University studying to be a high school English teacher. Deciding on a major was difficult for me because I enjoy many different subjects. The one thing that remained though was my desire to become a teacher. Education is my passion.Every student is unique and deserves individualized attention. No two students will learn exactly the same way, so instruction needs to be differentiated. This is easier to accomplish when only one student needs to be accommodated.Since each student I work with learns in different ways, I first assess their learning style to determine their strengths and weaknesses. Thereafter, the material that needs to be taught will be altered to fit with the student's learning style to ensure academic success.I also believe that the best thing a teacher/tutor can do for her students is to care about them. Students excel when they know that the teacher really believes in them and encourages them. I will personally care about the academic well-being of every student and make sure I do my best so each student can do his best.

This program prepares its graduates to enter the research sector of the pharmaceutical industry. When choosing a tutor, it is important that you are able to not only adapt to their learning style but connect with them on an interpersonal level. My personality is typically outgoing and reliable.In other words, I have a tendency to always be prepared and tackle every problem from multiple angles. My teaching style is dynamic which allows students to always stay interacted. When teaching a certain topic, I will explain some background about the subject and then dive deeper.

I recently graduated from NYU's Stern School of Business and had a great time helping prospective students on the GMAT. I scored extremely high through self-guided study and found I learned fun ways to teach some of the tougher concepts. I believe in making the session fun and student-driven - but also quickly finding any underlining problems with comprehension and addressing them.

I am passionate about empowering students to use their voices to advocate and better communicate. I have experience in a variety of classroom settings, both in person and online, and with with students from grades K-12. I am a certified reading specialist and special education teacher.

Hi,West Chester UniversityB.A. Language & Cultures; SpanishMontgomery County Community CollegeA.A. Liberal Studies

I am a bilingual, ambitious professional seeking to help students realize their full potential. I graduated from West Chester University in 2014 with a B.A. in Political Science and two minors - Spanish and Latin American Studies. Afterwards, I attended Temple Beasley School of Law where I graduated in 2017 with a Juris Doctor (J.D.)

I'm a passionate educator who believes learning should feel encouraging, engaging, and confidence-building. I've been tutoring since I was 17 and have worked with students from kindergarteners learning to read all the way through geometry and high school math. I help with homework, studying for tests, organization, and everything in between!

I am a graduate of West Chester University, with a Bachelors in Science in Biology and a minor in Political Science. I will be pursuing my Masters Program in Biology in the Fall.My strengths lie in mathematics, science, and critical writing. I am extremely proficient in standardize testing as well.Being a student, I understand how difficult learning can sometimes be. My goal is to be able to take the material your child is struggling with and break it down into an analogue or an idea that they can understand.I have had past experiences in working with students and peers one-on-one, and I love to be able to relate to people in any way possible.In my free time, you can find me improving myself either through reading, exercising, or drawing. I have recently picked up fishing as a hobby as well, and I find it extremely relaxing.Please feel free to message me if you would like to discuss a tutoring opportunity.

My passion for education and interest in helping students is the perfect combination to serve as a tutor. I have a wide range of knowledge in subjects related to science, math, life sciences, public health and writing. I additionally have counseled high school students through the college application process and can provide valuable study skills and organization tips from my educational experiences.

I am an elementary school Reading and Math specialist. I received my MA in reading along with my Reading Specialist certification in 2012. I have been a teacher for 11 years and am passionate about my job. I believe that all students can be successful, but some students just need a little extra support to get there. I work with struggling students in all academic areas, and my patience, skill set, and dedication to my students as well as my ability to individualize all lessons makes me an exceptional teacher. These qualities make me an excellent tutor.I strongly believe that every child has the ability to learn and grow. However, each child is different and these differences in learning styles or prerequisite knowledge have to be taken into consideration. It is up to the teacher to find out what skills gaps each child may have and create an individualized plan to implement in order for the child to be successful. It is also equally important to highlight the student's strengths and use these strengths as a way to connect with the child.

Hi! I'm Joyce, an MBA graduate from Columbia Business School with a background in business, strategy, and entrepreneurship. I am passionate about helping students build confidence and achieve their academic goals through personalized instruction. My teaching approach focuses on breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps while adapting to each student's learning style. Whether you're looking to strengthen foundational skills, prepare for exams, or tackle challenging coursework, I strive to create a supportive environment that encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and long-term success.

My name is Mr. Luke Gibson. I am a middle school teacher with 25 years of experience. I take pride in helping students improve their skills with reading and writing. If your child is struggling in this area, I believe I can provide creative learning in a postive online environment. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and coaching middle school basketball.

I believe that, as a teacher, the greatest gift I can pass on to my students is to make them believe in themselves. Although my students carry much more emotional and financial hardship than children in traditional schools, it is rare that they lack the innate ability to succeed. They simply have had a rough life and they have forgotten that they have worth and that they matter. I try to instill that into them everyday. I just happen to be a math teacher, a discipline that I have come to love. I try to show that enthusiasm so that they too can find their path, whatever that may be. My interests are fitness (our bodies are the only ones we will ever get so let's take good care of them) and animal husbandry (we share the earth, we don't own it).

You may call me a degree collector or an enthusiast of learning. With two Masters' degrees, two undergraduate degrees, and two minors, I studied everything from Russian, Spanish, and Philosophy to Physics and Space Science.My drive to uncover the unknown and zeal for problem-solving proved to be useful in the airspace, oil and gas, and real estate industries where I've worked for more than 13 years.Nothing in my career, however, has been as gratifying as helping students connect the dots. In my extensive work as a math and physics tutor for high school and university students, I have always followed three simple steps:1. identify what the student does not know2. figure out what they know3. help them close the knowledge/understanding gap.In explanations of concepts, I strive to bring the abstract to reality for my students. When we are solving problems, I rarely give my students straight answers. I guide them so they can arrive at the answers by themselves or I point them to where they may find clues.I love seeing "the wheels starting to turn." This is how my students gain confidence in their abilities.My ultimate goal is to model for my students studying skills so that they can eventually handle their learning by themselves. Yes! My goal is for the students NOT to need me. Because independent learning is king and problem-solving skills are gold in real life!My students always master much more than the subject they needed help with.

I am a passionate psychology educator with a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology and 10 years of experience teaching, coaching, and counseling students and clients!

As a passionate educator with a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Scranton, I have over 5 years of tutoring and classroom experience across various subjects, including Elementary and Middle School English and Math, as well as Adult Literacy. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to explore their potential. I aim to connect with each learner by tailoring my approach to their individual needs and fostering a love for learning. I believe that every student can succeed with the right guidance and support, and I am dedicated to making that happen. In my free time, I enjoy reading and exploring innovative teaching methods to enhance my skills further.

Hello! My name is Stephanie Allen, and I have been tutoring students of all grades - from Kindergarten through college for many years, in a variety of subjects ranging from the Humanities to Mathematics and the Sciences. I consider myself a lifelong learner with a passion for education, and I relish being able to help others in their educational endeavors. My approach to tutoring revolves around my belief that everyone has their own approach to learning; as a tutor, it's vital that I respect how the students I work with process and retain information, and help them recognize and utilize their strengths to empower them, which in turn augments their academic abilities. I have tutored students in a variety of subjects including English literature, grammar, and composition; History; Cultural Anthropology; Philosophy and Ethics; Basic Mathematics; Algebra; Biology; Anatomy and Physiology; Spanish. I've also tutored students on research methods and academic writing styles (MLA, APA, etc.).A little about me - I hold three college degrees: I have an A.A. in Psychology, a B.A. in English Literature, and a M.A. in English with concentrations in Writing, Teaching, and Criticism. Besides literature, I also have academic interests in Philosophy, History, Mythology, Spanish language, Art, and the sciences. Culturally, I enjoy attending lectures, the symphony, the opera, visiting art museums. I also enjoy volunteering for charitable organizations.

I come from a family of teachers and have always felt a need to educate others. I have a strong background in public speaking, reading, and writing, as well as mathematics and music and look forward to working with students over the summer to help further their educational needs.I am certified in special education and music education, and I have my masters degree in special education and autism studies. I play trombone, trumpet, euphonnium, and piano. I attended West Chester University for both my bachelors and masters degree. I look forward to working with you!

I have a Master's of Science in Natural Resource Management and Environnental Interpretation from Colorado State University. An undergraduate in Communications (Speech, English and Theater) from West Chester University. I taught high school and began my own businesses after graduating college. I serve on non-profits and also teach through them. I traveled extensively, learning a great deal from teachers and elders of many cultures around the world. I always have had a burning desire to share what I have learned with others through coaching and teaching. This has allowed me to learn a great deal from my students as well. I have taught all age levels from pre-school to seniors and taught at both the high school and university levels. I pursued advanced degrees at Colorado State University, ran a large non-profit for the University and taught classes in many subjects in natural resources, creative writing, public speaking and organizational start ups and operations. I earned Masters of Science in Environmental Interpretation and Natural Resource Management from CSU and was awarded the Outstanding Teacher Award for the University in experiential teaching. I was an advisor for approximately 50 students each year while with the University.I am also a life coach and have worked with people in that way as well.Twelve years ago I founded a non-profit with a group of people. Our goal was to teach about nature, sustainable living and the wisdom of past cultures. It was also a platform from which I could offer students help in creative writing, public speaking and personal growth courses. I am a public speaker at many conferences and in the classroom and I have had two books published. A couple of years ago I created the White Otter Academy to bring "Wisdom from the past magically stirred with knowledge from the present as a catalyst to transform your future."I coined the phrase "energetic alchemy" to define how I often teach. I take the 'iron' nuggets of knowledge I have acquired, add my own understandings, mix them together magically and .. often - gold emerges thanks to my teachers. I believe true growth occurs from the acquisition of both formal and informal education. With that said, I require a large dose of fun in any teaching or tutoring I do. I like to also acknowledge all the mistakes I have made along the way and admit what a wonderful teaching resource these are. Through some of the above venues I have brought teaching to groups. With Varsity Tutors I am able to work one on one with people - my favorite mode.

Hi! I'm Joe and I've been tutoring since 2004. I have served a wide range of learners, from elementary school students to professionals seeking help with business documents. I have special experience with the humanities sections of a range of standardized tests, including the ACT, SAT, and even the GRE. I can also assist with several AP subjects, including World History and Human Geography.

One of my most profound joys comes from guiding learners in the process of accelerating growth, closing academic gaps, and believing in themselves. Ensuring their future success is more than a passion for me: It is my mission.I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Special Education from West Chester University and a Master of Arts in Administration, Supervision, Curriculum Planning, and Instruction from Georgian Court University. Throughout my teaching career, I have also engaged in numerous training and research opportunities. Most recently, I took a course entitled "Penn Literacy Network 1" as well as several additional educational workshops from the University of Pennsylvania.My philosophy of teaching is that educators must ensure each learner is reaching his/her full potential by attending to "the whole child". In addition to providing excellent academic instruction, teachers must also address the social and emotional needs of students and create exciting learning environments where they are eager to learn and participate. Instructionally, I believe in the use practices that are research-based and rooted in Universal Design. This includes multi-sensory, hands-on, mnemonic, and metacognitive approaches that address the needs of individuals of various learning styles and ability levels. It is also my strong belief that educators must provide well-planned, explicit instruction as well as highly engaging co-constructive learning opportunities that build critical thinking skills, encourage lifelong learning, and pave the way for future success. I work tirelessly to ensure that I uphold all of these values while maintaining a high spirited, engaging, supportive, and motivating learning environment. In reporting on my teaching performance, principals have used descriptors such as: "Mrs. Berodyn takes her students on a journey of excitement and exploration.", "The success rate of her students in high.", and "She is a model for teachers to emulate."My prior experience includes 28 wonderful years as a resource room teacher in New Jersey. I taught in K-5 whole group, inclusionary classrooms as well as in small group, individualized settings for learning disabled students. My passion and dedication was recognized there with a "Teacher of the Year Award" and a listing in Who's Who Among America's Teachers. After moving to Pennsylvania, I also had the great pleasure of teaching for 5 years as a Basic Skills Instructional Aide, providing targeted tutoring to individuals and small groups of kindergarten through 6th grade students. In both career experiences, the goal of my instruction was to inspire a love of learning, increase student skills, and close achievement gaps in reading, writing, spelling and math.Currently, I tutor in reading, writing, spelling, and math for students in kindergarten through 4th grade as well as adult literacy. Although I truly enjoy teaching all of these subject areas, I am most passionate about reading. Because it is most critical to the future success of my students, I have engaged in extensive literacy research and received training in a number of multi-sensory and specialized reading program (such as Wilson, Lindamood-Bell, Preventing Academic Failure, SRA Reading Mastery, Stevenson, Reading Recovery, and Corrective Reading). I take great pride and joy in knowing that I have helped hundreds of students overcome significant reading difficulties.When I am not tutoring, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, hiking, cooking, listening to music, playing guitar, and taking pictures!

With a background in school counseling, I bring a student-centered, holistic approach to tutoring that goes beyond academics. My professional experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of how students learn, what motivates them, and the challenges they may face both inside and outside the classroom. I specialize in building strong, supportive relationships that help students feel confident, capable, and understood. I have extensive experience working with diverse learners, including students with varying academic needs, learning differences, and social-emotional challenges. This allows me to tailor each session to the individualwhether that means breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps, reinforcing foundational skills, or helping students develop effective study habits and organizational strategies.

My name is Isma Zarin. I have background molecular biology. I believe every child has the power to be successful and accomplish as long as they are led in the right direction. As a woman in science field, I bring in the experience of working in few of the most prestigious biotechnology companies.

I believe that all students can learn if the right teacher and methods are employed. I have developed methods the areas of problem solving, balancing equations, and developing good responses to essay-type questions that are unique, yet very effective. I enjoy tutoring and feel that I can be helpful to those in need of science help, particularly in chemistry and physical science.

I enjoyed working as a computer science teacher and English teacher for years before I decided to be a math teacher a few years ago. To me, teaching is an ideal career for me and it provides me the opportunity to work with young people and help them learn and help them get ready for college life. I had some great experiences with classes of students and individual students as well. It was my moment when my students told me that they felt more confident in math and they did better than before in class. Math is fun and you will enjoy learning it as long as you work hard and never give up!

Hello! I am Alyssa Sergas and I am a recent graduate of West Chester University. I am certified to teach in an Early Childhood or Special Education setting. I come from a family of five and I have a dog named Murphy. Through my schooling and various field experiences I have learned many skills that have helped me to improve my teaching and tutoring skills. I have experience working with preschool aged, elementary aged, and special needs children. I am comfortable working with various age groups and tutoring in all elementary subjects. During my student teaching I tutored several students in the areas of reading and math before and after school hours. I found this to be a very enjoyable experience and I loved being able to work one-on-one with the students. Additionally, last year I tutored a first grader in reading and phonics.I believe that it is important to really get to know my student so that I can better teach them. I try to learn their interest and hobbies so that I can use them during a lesson. I like to try to make a personal connection with each of my students and really tailor what they are learning to them so that they are able to relate to the material. I believe that students learn best by doing and try to incorporate as much hands on learning as I possibly can.I currently work at a preschool as a one year old teacher and I really enjoy the time that I spend there. When I am not working I enjoy exercising, walking my dog, reading, and cooking new recipes that I find on pinterest. I also love to play and watch sports, such as soccer, baseball, and volleyball.

I have a B.A. in Journalism/Communications from Temple University and am currently working on my M.A. in TESOL at West Chester University. I work as a graduate assistant in the University Writing Center at WCUPA and coordinate the Conversation Partners program, which I also developed and implemented. I worked as a tutor at Burlington County College for two years where I focused on assisting students taking composition, literature, and ESL/ELL courses. I love to cook, bake, make candy, read, and travel abroad. I love experiencing new cultures and seeing everything the world has to offer. I was an exchange student in high school and spent time in Russia. During college, I studied in England.

As a passionate educator with almost 3 decades of teaching experience, I hold a Master's degree in History from West Chester University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelor's in Secondary Education - Social Studies from the Pennsylvania State University. I specialize in AP Human Geography, AP Comparative Government and Politics, AP European History, AP World History and IB Philosophy, alongside general high and middle school social studies curriculum. My teaching philosophy centers on personalizing learning to meet each student's unique needs, utilizing a blend of the Socratic method and diagnostic assessments to identify student strengths and weaknesses. I am dedicated to fostering critical thinking and engaging discussions, particularly in my IB Philosophy course, where I guide students through complex ideas and encourage them to form their own arguments. Outside the classroom, I enjoy gardening, basketball, reading, writing, and serving as an advisor for the high school Dungeons and Dragons Club, which helps cultivate creativity and teamwork among students. I look forward to helping students succeed with their educational goals and discover their potential!

I want to introduce students to the wonder of new peoples, places, events, and ideas that will expand their understanding and appreciation for the world in which we live.

Currently, I am a first year student at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, working towards my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Although unofficial, I will most likely continue on to minor in English/Literature or Art History. My skills vary widely in terms of tutoring subjects. I am personally equipped to teach elementary school through college level courses; however, as I have a passion for literature and the arts, I specialize and do best in tutoring English, Writing, and Literature Analysis & Critique. I love to equip my students with the tools they need to succeed in and out of the classroom - there is a difference between tutoring for the test, and tutoring to expand the way a person thinks, perceives, and analyzes the world. Outside of teaching, though, I love to write and read for pleasure, as well as learn about art and art history. I also play the french horn and the trumpet!

Most of my teaching experience has been with prekindergarten, 2nd, 3rd and 5th grade.I love helping my students achieve their own academic success! I take the time to learn about my students and their personal learning styles, needs and preferences. I often incorporate various learning tools, such as manipulatives, white boards, highlighting tape, flashcards, etc. to help my students grasp the concepts. If a student is not grasping a certain concept, I will present the information in an alternative manner in order for my student to understand the material.I currently teach 3rd grade and love every subject! As a teacher, my favorite part of the day is reading out loud to my students. I love to share my passion of reading with my students through a variety of genres, authors and levels of literature. I take pride in helping my students become lifelong readers with strong reading comprehension skills.I have tutored students in each of the elementary grades with significant focus on English Language Arts and Math. Most of the students I have tutored have been in 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade. In addition to tutoring during the school year, I also have tutored students over the summer. Some of the areas we focused on were summer reading projects (reading novels and improving reading comprehension), phonics and grammar. We also practiced various writing styles and how to add detail to writing. Helping my students with math was also a significant aspect of both summer and school year tutoring. We worked on various topics in math such as: multiplication and division, fractions, geometry, basic algebra, and word problems. In addition to Math and English Language Arts, I also have tutored students in Science, Social Studies, and Study Skills/ Test Preparation.Outside of school, I love to go for long runs on scenic trails! I also enjoy other areas of health and fitness. I have a passion for cooking (and a little baking) and enjoy experimenting with new recipes. When I am not busy in the kitchen, I enjoy trying new local restaurants with my friends and family. My dog, Taffy loves when we spend time in the yard playing fetch with her ball or a new stick!I look forward to working with you and your child to help them be successful in school!
