For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a teacher. I believe that teaching is more than a job, more than a career; it is a calling. Making a difference in the lives of others is important to me. I can't think of another job that offers that opportunity as much as teaching.

Lisa

Arithmetic Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Hope International University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Human Development with a focus on counseling and biblical studies. I am applying for Graduate School this summer, so I can further my education in Psychology and Cultural Anthropology. My passion is listening to and working with children; and, I hope to become the kind of therapist that families, including our soldiers and veterans, will come to when they need help. While I have been working on my education, I have spent the last several years as a para-educator teaching children of immigrants in California for the "No Child Left Behind" program at an elementary school. I also edit and tutor writing composition for individual clients in middle school and high school using APA and MLA formats, focusing on good research methods, proper citing, and correct bibliography and reference pages. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Math, and test prep. I've always felt a great joy when my students experience their "aha" moment. They have just received something that belongs to them for the rest of their lives - knowledge. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be the key to a high quality of life; and, I try to impart this appreciation to my students by being a good role model, since I am also a student. I teach good work ethics, responsibility, and accountability so my students will not only gain an education, they will be productive and dependable adults one day. I love spending time with my teenager, swimming, drawing, volunteering for Feed The Children and Save Our Beaches. One of our goals is to create the best mac 'n cheese "known to man."

Graduate Test Prep Tutor • +30 Subjects

I received my B.S. in Biology from Villanova University in May of 2012. Throughout my four years of undergraduate college, I tutored hundreds of students in a variety of subjects. A month after my graduation from Villanova, I was on a plane to California to start work on my Master's degree. I studied Entomology at the University of California, Davis and conducted a field research project that investigated how pesticides affect honey bee behavior. I also worked as a teaching assistant at Davis and co-created and taught a course about current issues related to beekeeping and bee conservation.I finished my M.S.in Entomology at the beginning of 2015. I have a sincere love of learning and find great joy in helping others achieve their academic goals. I believe a teacher must be patient with their students and truly understand what issues they face in order to effectively communicate with them. I strive to cultivate a positive teaching environment that inspires my students with the same passion for learning that I have.I have recently focused on tutoring standardized tests including the GRE, SAT and ACT. I most enjoy tutoring the GRE because of the complexity of its questions. I love teaching students how to see through the tests tricks and pitfalls, while also analyzing the subtle clues provided by the questions. Other subjects that I have experience tutoring include math up to calculus, biology, statistics, essay composition, chemistry and physics.

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +18 Subjects

I've always loved teaching. It started in 11th grade when I taught math and science to younger students. Math is fascinating; once you grasp the basics, you can work miracles. I've been a home tutor and freelance guide, assisting students with exams and assignments. I completed a Master's in Electrical Engineering, where I realized engineering is the practical application of math and science. I believe in inspiring and empowering students to explore these fields, shaping a better future.

Joshua

Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects

I began my college education at Portland Community College where I studied Mathematics, Physics and engineering prerequisite classes such as Statics and Dynamics. While at PCC I would volunteer in the study hall by helping fellow students with their math homework. From PCC I transferred to Portland State University. I am currently working on my bachelor's of science in mechanical engineering degree. I currently tutor Algebra 1 through 4, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus 1 and Physics. My favorite subject to tutor is Calculus 1 because that is where I find mathematics to become very interesting.I believe that each student has their own unique approach to learning new subjects. It is the obligation of the tutor to shape their method of teaching around the student's unique set of strengths and weaknesses. By discovering where a student has a gap of understanding in a subject and helping the student to bridge that gap, a foundation can be created in order to progress to the next level of a subject.Outside of school I like to Play and record music at home, read books and work in the garden.

Frequently Asked Questions

Library Sciences requires students to master both theoretical concepts and practical skills—from understanding information organization systems like the Dewey Decimal Classification to conducting effective research using diverse databases. Many students struggle with the transition from general "looking things up" to systematic information retrieval, cataloging, and metadata management. Additionally, keeping pace with rapidly evolving digital resources and emerging technologies in library systems can feel overwhelming without personalized guidance.

Personalized tutoring allows students to focus on their specific weak areas—whether that's mastering search strategies, understanding classification systems, or grasping information literacy concepts. A tutor can adapt explanations to match how you learn best and provide immediate feedback on assignments like research papers or database navigation. This targeted approach is especially valuable in Library Sciences, where hands-on practice with actual research tools and real-world problem-solving can significantly accelerate understanding.

Strong Library Sciences students develop expertise in several interconnected areas: information organization (classification systems, cataloging standards), research methodology (keyword development, source evaluation, database searching), information literacy (evaluating credibility and bias), and technology proficiency (library management systems, digital archives). Additionally, understanding user-centered design and community needs is increasingly important as libraries evolve. Balancing these technical and conceptual skills is key to success in introductory and advanced courses.

Effective research requires deliberate practice with multiple search strategies, database types, and evaluation frameworks. Rather than relying on quick Google searches, students benefit from learning Boolean operators, subject headings, controlled vocabularies, and how different databases (academic, archival, proprietary) serve different research needs. Personalized tutoring can help you develop a systematic approach to research problems and teach you to evaluate sources critically—skills that transfer directly to better grades and stronger academic work across all subjects.

Expert Library Sciences tutors combine deep knowledge of information systems, cataloging standards, and research methodologies with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly. They should be comfortable with both traditional library science principles and emerging technologies, and able to provide hands-on guidance with real databases and research tools. The best tutors help students develop critical thinking about information—teaching not just how to find sources, but how to evaluate their quality and relevance to specific research questions.

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who can provide customized support for your specific Library Sciences needs—whether that's preparing for exams on classification systems, completing research projects, or mastering new library technologies. Tutors can work through challenging assignments one-on-one, clarify confusing concepts immediately, and help you develop strong research habits that improve your work in Library Sciences and beyond. This personalized approach has been shown to significantly accelerate learning, particularly in subjects requiring hands-on practice and skill development.

With consistent personalized instruction, you can expect to develop faster, more efficient research strategies, gain confidence using multiple information systems, improve your ability to critically evaluate sources, and earn stronger grades on research papers and Library Sciences assignments. Beyond academic improvement, you'll build transferable skills in information evaluation and retrieval that enhance your performance in all subjects and prepare you for information-intensive careers. Most students see measurable improvement in both their research speed and the quality of sources they locate within a few weeks of focused tutoring.
