I graduated with highest honors from Texas A&M University and received a B.S. in Forestry and Ecological Restoration. While in college, I worked for three years as a tutor for the A&M Athletics Department, tutoring in multiple math subjects, biology, chemistry, ecology, botany, history, English, and forestry. I spent one semester working in the writing lab, helping students write and edit their essays. I also worked as a teaching assistant for two years, creating my own lectures and exams while leading lab experiments for classes of up to 15 students at a time.I currently work as an environmental educator for Plano ISD, leading classes of up to 10 students of ages 6-12. I've been tutoring through Varsity for over a year, working with students of all ages and helping them with a wide variety of subjects. My strongest subjects to teach are science and math, and I also have a lot of experience helping students prepare for college entrance exams like the SAT and ACT.Teaching is a highly rewarding experience for me. I understand that everyone has a different learning style, and I strive to always adapt my teaching style to the needs of my students. After years of working with students who struggle with learning what they consider to be boring subjects, I've amassed countless creative techniques to help students better process difficult information and retain the most knowledge. My teaching philosophy is based on patience, positive reinforcement, and the breakdown of difficult material into easier-to-process parts. I believe no student should ever have to feel unintelligent. We've all fallen behind on schoolwork at some point and we've all encountered a few subjects that just wouldn't stick, but this in no way reflects our capabilities to learn.

I am a student and a researcher with a lifelong passion for teaching! A twice exceptional* student myself, I specialize in helping other 2e and neurodivergent students reach their goals while making learning a fulfilling process. However, I love working with all students and cultivating a love of learning and curiosity.

I am a graduate of The University of Kentucky and received my Bachelor of Arts in Special Education (K-12.) I have taught for 17 1/2 years, teaching the last 16 years in Gilbert. I have experience teaching all subjects and grade levels in elementary schools in special education classrooms and general education inclusion settings. I enjoy tutoring students in all subjects and find that I am most passionate about Reading and Math. I advocate for students and believe that all children can learn but differ in the ways they learn and the timeframe in which they learn. Each student brings unique qualities, talents and interests to learning and it is my job to use those to enhance and influence their learning. My interests include reading, watching movies and going to garage and estate sales.

With 20 years of experience in Human Resources, I have gained knowledge in every area of the Human Resources field and have become a subject expert. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Human Resources Management as well as a Professional Human Resources Certification (PHR). Currently, I am pursuing my Masters's degree in Human Resources Management at Florida International University (FIU). I have a passion for teaching and have been a volunteer teacher for many years. I also have many years of experience training and teaching HR topics. I take pride in preparing for my classes and personalizing them for each individual's learning style. My goal is to bring the lesson to life for my students in a way that's practical and gives a real-world understanding of the subject matter. I look for different learning and memorization techniques that work for each individual to help them grasp the information. I provide coaching to those looking to pass their Human Resources Professional Certifications as well as training and guidance to those growing in their HR Careers. I am also available for job seekers and career planning.

I was never a straight A student, in fact, I struggled to get B's. It was never a problem with the content I was learning but the context in which that material was presented. After learning about the many different learning profiles that exist in the classroom I realized that students like myself were being left out to dry. I decided three years into my first college experience that I wanted to become an educator. Transferring to Wright State University and enrolling in their Teacher Preparation program is undoubtedly the best decision I have ever made. This upcoming fall I will be working in the Dayton Public School district to help students who, like myself, who struggle with "playing school."Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading science-fiction and taking hikes at the many metro parks in the South Dayton area. I occasionally work at a locally owned running store on the weekends and even do some coaching in the fall and spring. I have spent most of my life in Dayton but also moved around a lot as my father was in the military. I hope to move and teach in Philadelphia some day in the future but for now, my focus is on revitalizing the school system in Dayton.

Hi! I'm Marla. I specialize in SAT Prep (Math and Verbal), Elementary and Middle School Math, Algebra, Geometry and Essay Writing. I particularly enjoy test taking and solving tricky math questions. I will help your student learn to enjoy the process, so he or she is better able to excel!I am originally from Los Angeles and have a BA in Psychology from Pomona College. I'm also a singer and musician and recently went back to school to pursue a graduate degree in Music Education. My long term goal is to become an Elementary or Middle School Choir Director.

I am a certified English teacher at the middle school level and the high school level. I have over ten years experience in private schools and public schools. I am patient and kind. I welcome the opportunity to work with you to find clarity and skill in the subject of Engish.

As a highly motivated, goal and success oriented tutor, I have a proven track record of providing excellent tools for everyone around me to overcome the challenges that they encounter when facing difficult situations. I will graduate from Baruch college with a bachelor's in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and have always received A's in all my mathematic courses. I am always positive and enthusiastic, and I love to share that with everyone. I have been a tutor for about 6 years now, in French and Mathematics. I have helped my students to build the necessary skills that they need to succeed. I show my students how to study effectively. For instance, Mathew who is a former student of mine did not like algebra at all. I showed him how easy it is with 3 effective rules to master in algebra. Read-Follow-Do. Now he is taking calculus and is doing well. My previous experience as a tutor and my daily life as a student has enabled me to develop not only specific skills to be the best tutor, but also to be patient and understanding. This is because I have lived the frustration of not understanding a subject myself. This pushes me to read and go find the help that I need. Living this myself makes me devoted and goal oriented, and motivates me to help my students even more. I want to get my PhD in I.O. in the future and develop more and better skills to be the best tutor that I can ever be.

I have been tutoring since I was in Middle School. I really enjoy helping students that are struggling. It's my goal to help the students really understand and enjoy what they are learning. It's really fun when you finally understand the material.On my free time I like to go hiking.

My decision to pursue a teaching career is because I have a strong desire to make a difference in the lives of my students. I see teaching as the best way to do this. I also have a strong love for learning and as an educator, having this quality is essential if one is to instill a love for learning in his/her students. I am helping students reach their fullest potential. I am laying the foundation for lifelong learning and achievement and to me that is the greatest job of all.I have taught a wide variety of students in both early childhood and elementary grades in both public and private settings. I have also helped colleagues prepare for different standardized exams such as the GRE, PRAXIS and the New York State teacher examination. My experiences have taught me a lot about what are best practices and how best to implement these best practices. They have taught me the value of being patient and the importance of differentiated instruction.I have my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Pace University. I also have a Masters in Science in Childhood Education (1-6). In addition, I have a 15-Credit Post Masters in Early Childhood Education (Birth-2nd Grade). I am able to tutor reading (comprehension, phonics); writing (style, grammar); math (number operations, measurement, geometry, problem solving, and number sense); science (biology, health, physiology, astronomy; weather, earth science); and social studies (civic engagement, geography and history).My favorite subjects to tutor are reading, writing and math. As an educator I take the time to get to know my students and what really interests them. I believe this is essential to learning how to best teach the students I am teaching or tutoring. It is important to help make the content relatable and accessible. This means getting to know my students and their learning styles.Outside of academia I enjoy doing yoga, reading, traveling and spending time with family and friends.
