Adult Literacy Tutor • +9 Subjects

Teaching is my fourth career. I've learned my way through the first three by watching others and choosing how to adapt and apply their techniques to the specific purpose of my projects.In high school I was a STEM student before the term existed, but I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Vassar College with a major in Drama and a double minor in English and Art.Starting out on my career path in New York City, I took and taught theater crafts and began to develop prototype design skills while working in live theater, opera, dance, and television/video, and after contributing to Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and The Muppet Movie, relocated to London through the Jim Henson companies to work on feature films such as Dark Crystal, Dreamchild, Labyrinth, and Little Shop of Horrors.After a time, being at the intersection of a script and its visualization excited me the most and led me to emulate my colleagues who were into concept creation by beginning to research and write story treatments for Labyrinth.Returning to the States to raise a family, I applied what I'd learned about production to the corporate world. My experience and imagination yoked to a client's vision and purpose allowed me to take on a variety of roles: creative director, writer, producer, graphic designer, and occasional project management.As in the past, I often worked in the trenches, this time learning the software that supported and enhanced our efforts. But overall, my focus was to communicate, through language and visual representation, how a project could be realized. I knew that the plan might grow and change as it progressed, so had to be mindful that collaboration, communication, and flexibility were key to adapting to change as we moved toward the client's goal.Although I returned to college and earned a Master's in English and a Certificate in Creative Writing, my progress in the real world still relies on both words and pictures. The more we engage our senses, the deeper will be our ability to convey our intentions to those with whom we live, work, and play.Therefore, I wish to find out how you learn best so that together we may craft a plan for your progress, whatever your goal. Please share your expectations and concerns. Your goal may seem hazy at the start, but as learning is about observing, trying, and sometimes failing, your vision will come into focus. We can course correct as we move forward together to ensure a resolution, even if the destination changes somewhat. That's life, isn't it?

College English Tutor • +25 Subjects

As a teacher, I have seen students first hand struggling to learn in a congested classroom setting. Even one in which there are a significantly reduced number of students in the room. This goes for both general education and special education students. I have also seen them flourish after being given extra one on one attention and time to learn concepts that he or she is struggling with. That is why I wanted to become a tutor in my spare time. I spend every day as an educator and not always able to give the extra attention to the students that require it the most. When tutoring, I am able to spend as much time as necessary on a concept, and use different methods to convey that concept to my students.

I am currently an upper elementary teacher through Teach For America, and I've passed all of my elementary certification exams, while working on finishing my teacher license this academic year from calumet college, St. Joseph. My undergraduate degree is in Economics from the University of Chicago, and I did a lot of statistics, too!I like having kids how to read, write, and do math. Because I loved doing those in school, and I'll be teaching that this up coming school year. To have a struggling reader all of a sudden love reading and attack hard words never before tried is the best feeling in the world.I believe education should be fun, loving, inviting, challenging, and organized.

Hello Prospective Students!I was very lucky as a kid because my parents never held me back and they always helped me exceed expectations in all subject matters. I understand the value of private tutoring because my parents provided me with tutors whenever I needed it.As a result, I did extremely well on My SHSAT and attended the Bronx H.S of Science. With the help of my parents and tutors I was able to do very well on my SAT's and gain acceptance to some of the toughest Undergraduate institutions NYC had to offer (NYU, Macaulay Honors College,etc).Most recently I graduated a top-ranked MBA program, and am ready to give back some of the knowledge I have gained throughout the years to those that need it.Currently I am an Adjunct at CUNY Queens College,teaching Mathematics to graduate and undergraduate students. I also tutor High School students (all Math Regents exams, and Math SAT) and Junior High School students for the SHSAT math section.My hobbies include basketball, soccer, and Judo. Throughout High School I was nationally ranked in the sport of Judo and was an Academic All-American.I have competed nationally and internationally for the United States and have placed at tournaments such as the Junior Pan American games.I know what it takes to be a champion both on and off the mat. I am confident that I can help your children exceed their goals in the field of mathematics!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Smyrna's 20 schools and both school districts with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in Cobb County Schools or another district in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can provide targeted support aligned with what they're learning in class.

Tutors work with students on Georgia's standards-aligned curriculum, whether that's Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE) for core subjects or state-specific benchmarks for specialized courses. With Smyrna's average student-teacher ratio of 12.9:1 in classrooms, personalized tutoring provides the focused, one-on-one attention that helps students master concepts more deeply and catch up quickly if they've fallen behind.

Students in Smyrna seek help across a wide range of subjects, including math (algebra, geometry, precalculus), English language arts, sciences (biology, chemistry, physics), and test prep for SAT and ACT. Many students also benefit from tutoring in foundational skills like reading comprehension and writing, as well as AP and honors-level coursework to stay competitive in advanced programs.

During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current level, understand their specific challenges, and learn about their learning style and goals. This helps establish a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs—whether they need help with a struggling grade, preparation for an upcoming test, or enrichment in a subject they love.

Many students see noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent, personalized tutoring, especially when they're working on specific skills or test preparation. The timeline depends on your student's starting point, the subject, and how frequently they meet with their tutor—but consistent practice and focused instruction accelerate progress significantly.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and teaching experience. Tutors are vetted for their ability to explain concepts clearly and adapt their teaching to each student's learning style, ensuring they can support Smyrna students across all grade levels and subjects.

Getting started is simple—tell us about your student's needs, grade level, and subject, and we'll match them with a qualified tutor who fits their learning style. Once matched, you can schedule your first session at a time that works for your family, and your student will begin receiving personalized instruction right away.
