Over the years, I've taught a wide range of subjects, always with the goal of making even the most complex topics simple and approachable. My teaching style focuses on breaking down challenging concepts into clear, manageable steps, working through problems together, and showing how lessons connect to real-world situations. I believe that a supportive, comfortable learning environment encourages curiosity and confidence, so students feel free to ask questions and explore ideas. Whether your child is building foundational skills or tackling advanced material, I'm committed to guiding them at their own pace, celebrating progress, and equipping them with tools that last far beyond our sessions.

I am a National Merit awardee, and a recent USF Graduate with a D.B.A. with Honors in Philosophy and History, both of which I enjoy thoroughly. My job is to make the material as easy to understand for you as it is for me. I have done this by mastering conversational Socratic ask-and-answer methodology to ensure my students attain the capacity to come to the right answers on their own. Additionally, I have invented multiple general tactics and even detailed strategies pertinent to specific question types, with the ability to translate the above to all learning styles including neurodivergent ones -particularly ADHD and anxiety which I myself have- to radically and adaptably simplify the exam for students as per their personal learning aptitudes.

I am passionate about helping students because even a little additional instruction in a way tailored to that specific student could help them find their own passion or even just get through a difficult subject. My teaching philosophy and teaching style are student-centered and focused on active learning that pushes students to go beyond simple understanding or memorizing. I don't expect students to love every subject we go over, I adapt to their interests just as I expect them to learn to adapt to their own graduation and personal expectations. I aim to foster an environment of mutual trust and respect in which the student can feel comfortable learning while also pushing themselves to go beyond their own initial expectations. I graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School, one of the top public high schools in New York City, and then the University of South Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences. I am currently preparing for the Medical School entrance exam. I have worked with students of all ages, interests and needs for many years. With each of the several dozens of students I have worked with, I have found a unique approach to help them, whether they needed light instruction for reinforcement of material or heavy instruction to catch up on months of information. The subjects I have taught include both the typical English, mathematics, science, and history courses and test preparation courses like high school entrance exams and the SAT. My favorite subjects to tutor are mathematics, English, and the sciences. Mathematics is very straightforward and helps build logical reasoning, English allows a student to look within themselves to find the unique voice they can use in all of their future writing, and the sciences help build critical reasoning and research skills. I love teaching these subjects not only because they are necessary for graduation but also because they help them grow as people and future leaders.

Current Undergrad Student, Neuroscience Emory University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a third year Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology major at Emory University. My tutoring career unofficially began helping my younger siblings with homework, but has since professionalized! I have tutored students ranging in age, interest, background, and academic capabilities. In the past year, I spent most of my time tutoring 3rd to 6th graders, working on math, reading, writing, and science homework. I also edited college English and biology papers. My favorite subjects to tutor are writing and the sciences! I love to get to know my student's interests and fill sessions with fun activities and relevant discussions. My primary goal in tutoring is to build my students' confidence, both in the material and in their ability to take control of their learning. Most importantly, I try to relate what we're learning to real world problems! In my spare time, I like to read the Economist, read a good book, hang with friends and run.

6+ Years Tutoring

Education has always been at the center of my life. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering from Georgia Tech, then went on to study Mathematics at the graduate level at the University of South Florida. Later, I completed a degree in Educational Leadership, which allowed me to combine my love for teaching with strong expertise in tutoring for exams such as the PRAXIS and FTCE. I began tutoring many years ago, and it quickly became one of the great joys of my career. I truly love everything about schoollearning, teaching, and being part of the academic journey. As a high school math teacher, I taught a wide range of subjects, from Algebra to AP Calculus, and I've carried that same versatility into my tutoring work. My goal is always to break down difficult concepts into clear, understandable lessons while keeping students engaged, confident, and never overwhelmed. Beyond teaching content, I focus on building strong connections with my students. I believe that when a student feels comfortable asking questions and isn't afraid to say, "I don't understand," real learning happens. I create a relaxed, encouraging atmosphere that fosters curiosity and growth. Over time, I've also developed a wealth of test-taking strategies, which I share as needed to help students manage anxiety and approach exams with confidence. The greatest reward for me is seeing my students succeednot just in mastering the material, but in gaining confidence in themselves as learners. Many of my students have told me how much easier math feels after working together, and I'm proud to have earned nearly perfect ratings throughout my years of tutoring. At the heart of everything I do is a love of learning and a passion for helping others discover it too. Tutoring is not just my profession it's my calling, and I am grateful for every opportunity to make a difference in a student's academic journey.

I am a national merit finalist and a top 1% percentile scorer on the SAT. I am currently studying biomedical sciences in the Bs/Md program at the University of South Florida.

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.

Having volunteered now hundreds of hours into helping schools tutor students in a wide variety of mathematics, I have gained an understanding of where a lot of people are coming from when they require help, and how to approach various situations when they call for different methods. Along with this, I love getting to meet new people, and learn from their own experiences through dialogue and getting to know them, and will always try to make tutoring a personal event just as much as an academic one.

8+ Years Tutoring

I grew up in Canada and my first degree was from Mt. St. Vincent Women's University in Nova Scotia, Canada. I received a B.A. in political science with a double minor in Women's Studies and Psychology. From there, I moved to the United States, where I started teaching and earned my Master's degree in Education, Special Education from Cambridge College. I went on to complete an Ed.S. online with Old Dominion University in Virginia, with the hopes of doing my doctorate. I stopped my doctorate before completing my dissertation during COVID as the school I was attending closed its doors permanently, and I haven't found an alternative. I may go back someday and finish, but for now, I'm happy with things as they are. I love teaching reading the most, because I am such an avid reader and feel that it is a wonderful skill to have. I have worked in other subjects such as Writing and Social Studies, but I am most passionate about teaching reading and helping students to overcome their struggles with that subject. I have been teaching for all of my adult life and started when I was 17 years old as a tutor for older adults who struggled with literacy skills. This ignited my passion for teaching. My love of teaching has stayed with me for my entire life and though it has been tested over time, I have never thought of doing any other job. My philosophy includes believing that all people are deserving of an education that can help enrich their lives and advance their skills. My life involves enjoying music, writing, reading, animals and nature. Those are the things that have helped me cope with things beyond my control, as well as have provided much-needed alternatives during this new post-pandemic world. I did suffer mild disabilities in speech and Math as a student when I was a kid, so I am particularly sensitive to the needs of students with disabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Tampa's 242 schools with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in the Hillsborough County district or a charter school, we match them with tutors who understand Florida's curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with Florida's B.E.S.T. standards and how they're taught in Tampa classrooms. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps students master grade-level expectations in math, reading, science, and social studies—and prepares them for Florida assessments like the FSA and end-of-course exams.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 16.6:1 in Tampa, many students benefit from the focused attention that personalized tutoring provides. One-on-one instruction allows tutors to identify learning gaps, adjust pacing to match your student's needs, and provide the kind of individualized feedback that's harder to deliver in larger classroom settings.

Tampa students frequently seek tutoring in math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, and test prep for standardized assessments. We also work with students on writing skills, science, and subject-specific support across elementary, middle, and high school levels.

The first session focuses on getting to know your student—their learning style, current challenges, and academic goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands in their subject, discuss what's working and what isn't in the classroom, and create a personalized plan for moving forward.

Many students show improvement in confidence and understanding within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring. More significant gains in grades or test scores typically emerge after 4-8 weeks, depending on the subject and your student's starting point. Consistent, ongoing tutoring produces the strongest long-term results.

Yes, Varsity Tutors works with families to find tutoring times that fit your student's schedule—whether that's after school, evenings, weekends, or during school breaks. We understand Tampa families have packed schedules, so we offer flexible scheduling to make tutoring convenient.

Start by telling us about your student's needs—the subject, grade level, and specific challenges they're facing. Varsity Tutors will match them with a tutor who's a good fit, and you can schedule the first session at a time that works for your family.
