My name is Vernica. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY but I'm currently in Columbus, Ohio studying neuroscience.My career in tutoring began when I was in 6th grade. I attended an advanced school that gave us the opportunity to take standardized tests meant for high schoolers three years earlier in middle school. Essentially, I finished high school before I ever began it.Because of that, high school was a series of AP and college courses. In May of 2015, I graduated with an Associate's degree in Biology before graduating high school in May of that same year.Math has always been my favorite subject so hopefully I can make it yours too!

I am a rising Sophomore at Princeton University. I am majoring in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, most likely with a minor in Computer Science. During my Junior and Senior years of High School, I tutored a few students on a regular basis. I specialize in Math and Science. More specifically, my strongest subjects are Algebra 1/2/3, Geometry, Trigonometry and ACT Science. I have always found the maths and sciences to be both the most interesting subjects, but also the most applicable to real world problems - this is why I chose to major in what I did. Because I usually tutor in Math, I often tutor in the style of showing how to do a few problems step by step, and then having the student try a few more difficult problems, asking questions along the way. I do this because in my experience, this is the best way to learn and prepare for Math related exams. Outside of academics I play Viola, enjoy running and exercising to stay healthy, and listening to all kinds of music.

I am a graduate of Hamilton College, with a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and a minor in Cinema and Media Studies. I have a passion for teaching students English, writing analysis skills, and Literature, and have tutored these subjects to both middle and high school students in New Jersey, and college students in New York. In my lessons, I encourage my students to gain new insights and perspectives about literature, English, and various written works, especially when I teach them how to approach the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the SAT. I was previously a Teacher's Assistant to multiple Literature professors during my college years. When I'm not teaching and reading, I enjoy Latin dancing, blogging about media and entertainment, and analyzing cinema.

I believe that students excel when they learn in a supportive, encouraging environment. As a tutor, I strive to create a stress-free space for students to learn and thrive.In 2011, I graduated magna cum laude from Davidson College with a degree in English and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. I also have a Master of Divinity degree from Columbia Theological Seminary, where I won numerous awards, including the prize for highest academic distinction.I have experience teaching ancient Greek, ESL, ELA, and religion, and am able to tutor in a variety of other subjects. If you are interested in growing as a learner, I would love to work with you!

My lifelong personal, professional, and academic experiences have given me extensive knowledge of Spanish, French, and Italian. I was raised in a multilingual environment and hold degrees earned in 3 countries (a BA in the U.S., a Master's in Venezuela, and a Doctorate in France). I find it easy to transmit my passion for languages to students and offer courses that challenge and motivate them, through meaningful and, at the same time, fun activities. I enjoy tutoring high school and college students who want to improve their grades, and also adults in general who are interested in becoming proficient in either Spanish, French, or Italian, and in understanding the cultural complexities of the countries where these languages are spoken.

I started tutoring when I was in college when one of my professors encouraged me to work with other students taking chemistry. I have taught chemistry, physics , physical science algebra I and II, and biology over the last 30 years to high school students. I have also tutored at various locations through colleges and on my own. I majored in biology and chemistry then got teaching certificate. I have taught at all girls schools most of my career but also taught at a Navajo boarding school which was coed. I have worked with mostly middle and high school students from a wide variety of backgrounds. I have also taught a forensic science class in a brick and mortar school and through an all online school.I feel the best way to ensure a student's success is to encourage good communication between the student and the tutor and if applicable the parent. I believe in finding out what the students already know and working from there using as many different ways of teaching and explaining as possible. I want to work with the student's strengths and learning style to help the student progress as far as they are able.I have raised four children of my own so understand both sides of the student dynamics, as a parent and as a teacher/tutor. I enjoy working with students and helping them to reach their potential.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction with TESOL. I am certified in Elementary and Primary Education with an American Sign Language endorsement. I have been teaching ASL for the past 15 years to high school students. Prior to that I taught elementary school for 11 years. Before public school teaching I taught in preschools and obtained my Montessori certification. I am passionate about teaching and helping spark interest in many different subjects. When not teaching academic subjects I teach Pilates to adults and teens.

First and foremost, I love being a teacher. In fact, I loved to play school when I was a kid. (Yes, that was many years ago.) I could not imagine myself being anything but a teacher.I graduated from a small Christian College. Southern Wesleyan University in 1985. In 1991, I received my M.Ed. from The Citadel.However, I am a lifelong learner. I am constantly growing and improving myself.You guessed it. I have been teaching for many years. I have spent the last 25 years teaching special education in an inner city school district.Through the years, I have taught Freshman Literature as well as Sophomore and Junior Literature.I have taught everything from Shakespeare, The Crucible, and Two Trains Running by the late August Wilson.I have taught all the major essays such as narrative, descriptive, and persuasive essays. When I analyze your essay, I take both a holistic and a line by line approach.Currently, I am teaching a reading program that incorporates all these different approaches to writing.Needless to say, my favorite subjects to tutor are writing and literature.I am a hands-on teacher. I am going to take where you are in your skill and move you forward. I have a very positive approach to teaching. Of course, as a special education teacher, I often take a different approach to teaching. My approach is individualized to your particular needs.During my free-time, I enjoy creative writing. Reading. Spending time with my friends and family.Salsa dance lessons.

To me, being an educator means believing that every student can succeed and helping students to believe that about themselves. It means finding a student's strengths, celebrating every big and small moment of growth, and being a constant cheerleader and role model in a student's life. I come to tutoring with a BA in English and Cognitive Science from Vassar College and a history of teaching and working with students in a variety of environments. I worked for years at an inclusion camp, supporting students with and without special needs in academic and social activities. While in college, I was a volunteer tutor at a local elementary school working with ESL students and students with special needs. At the same time, I worked as a peer tutor at Vassar's Writing Center. I have also taught middle school science and math over the summer through Breakthrough Greater Boston, a program working to close the opportunity gap by supporting low income students and students of color. In the past three years, I have worked one-on-one with students in public schools as a special education aide at the elementary school and high school levels. Though I enjoy tutoring a range of subjects, I have a special love for teaching writing because it is so powerful for students to find their voices and express themselves. As a tutor, I am a calm and optimistic person who enjoys building deep relationships with my students. When I'm not teaching, I love playing ultimate frisbee, reading, playing board games, going for walks, and hanging out with my guinea pigs.

As a tutor the ultimate goal is making learning fun and easy to understand. Subjects like science and math can be explained in ways that everyone can understand so my goal is to gain knowledge on how to effectively tutor each student the way THEY learn best.
