I am an aspiring high school teacher. I graduated DePaul University with a degree in Finance in 2013. I worked as an accountant for a large financial services firm for 2 years (July 2013 - June 2015). During my time there, I passed the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Level 1 examination. I have intentions to go back to school for Secondary Education to teach economics/social studies.

Hello, I'm Annabelle! I've been writing and tutoring for around 7 years now. I'm a big believer in connecting personally with my students. I genuinely want them to succeed, and I especially love the one-on-one method of doing so. I bring positivity and upbeat energy to my lessons. The last thing I want is for a student to dread coming to class. I use articles, videos, social media, and readings to support my teaching. I am open to any needs that students have in terms of learning methods!

Hello! I'm a licensed educator with classroom experience who is passionate about helping students build confidence, improve academic skills, and feel supported in their learning. I understand that every student learns differently, and I work hard to create a patient, encouraging, and structured environment where students can succeed at their own pace.

I'm an elementary special education teacher during the year. During the summer I would like to help students enhance their skills in an engaging manner.

I am a professor of philosophy with over ten years teaching experience both in the U.S. and internationally. Currently I teach at a large university in Turkey. Prior to this I taught at a college in Slovakia as well as at a university in Chicago, IL, USA.I earned my Ph.D. in Philosophy at DePaul University in Chicago, my M.A. at The New School in New York City, and my B.A. with a double major in English and Philosophy at Trinity College in Hartford, CT.I am passionate about teaching and discussing philosophy and literature. I also love helping students (and even friends and family sometimes!) craft their arguments and writing in the ways they want. I believe everyone has the ability to become an excellent writer and thinker. Helping people learn how to do that is one of the joys of teaching for me, in part because I always learn something myself. Teaching is, I believe, helping people learn how to teach themselves.Outside of academia, I enjoy watching TV, movies, and sports, especially football, baseball, and soccer. I also like playing soccer and spinning as well as reading fiction, particularly detective novels.

I have a love for learning and a love for teaching. I have my Master's degree in Special Education, Learning Behavior Specialist I (LBS1) and Secondary English Language Arts certifications. My Bachelor's degree is in English from Northeastern University. I am also a Certified Behavior Instructor for students with Autism. Being in the top 15% of my Graduate school class and having graduated college with Summa Cum Laude honors, I know that hard work and dedication in education pays off. I hold myself to a very high standard in my own education, and I like to instill these same values in my students.I spend my days as a Special Education teacher for Chicago Public Schools, working with students in kindergarten through 8th grade. I have also been working as an independent tutor for the last few years. I have extensive experience working with individuals of all ages with a diverse range of needs, including those associated with Dyslexia, ADHD, Autism, learning disabilities, emotional and behavioral disorders, cognitive delays, and general literacy troubles. I excel in differentiation and the creation of successful learning plans for students. While I work in the field of Special Education, I also have experience in general education classrooms. I have tutored English and taught various classes (literature, composition, phonics) at elementary through high school levels. I have designed curricula, assessments, and activities. For over five years, I also worked for an academic essay assistance company, where I helped with academic essays ranging from middle school through post-college work.In my tutoring, I use research-based educational programs, while also integrating the latest educational technology to complement each student's learning program. I have access to applications and programs that are highly accredited and used in schools, and I believe that they not only provide additional practice, but they also increase student engagement. I create individualized and differentiated programs for students of all ages, learning styles, skill levels, and needs. I can simply help students with their homework or I can create an individualized plan to enhance other skills.I always want to make sure that students are satisfied with each lesson. I assign challenging homework but I never do so without providing the proper instruction and assistance. I will also provide you with progress reports as often as you prefer. I am flexible and I am here to help YOU!

As a 20+-year editor and trade journalist with a Master's degree in Writing and Publishing from DePaul University, I have extensive experience with a range of subjects, including AP English Language and Composition, Creative Writing, Elementary School Reading, Essay Writing, and Research Writing. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment that encourages students to express their ideas in order to find their voice and develop their writing skills. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each student, helping them build confidence in order to achieve their current and future academic goals. I am dedicated to nurturing a love for literature, effective communication, and research literacy in my students, and I enjoy incorporating creative activities that make learning engaging and enjoyable. In my free time, I enjoy reading everything from autobiographies to historical fiction and fantasy, writing creatively for publication in various literary journals, and conducting a book club for elementary school children at a local school.

Hello! My name is Christine and I recently relocated to the Athens, GA to pursue my doctorate in Philosophy. I lived in Chicago, IL for the past five years, where I completed my undergrad at DePaul University in Lincoln Park. Mathematics has been a long standing interest of mine, as my father is a mathematician and engineer. I have incorporated my love for mathematics into my pursuits in philosophy by concentrating in the area of logic.As a doctoral student, my hope is to one day be able to teach at the collegiate level. I love both teaching practical ideas and explaining abstract concepts, and this is one reason I signed on with Varsity Tutors. I am very excited about this opportunity with Varsity Tutors, and I look forward to sharing my passion for mathematics with you!

I'm a passionate World History tutor who helps students make sense of global patterns, turning complex eras into clear, engaging stories. I focus on building confidence through structured explanations, strong analytical skills, and supportive guidance. My goal is to help every student connect past events to the world they live in today.

I am a recent graduate of DePaul University with a BA in English Literature and a minor in Professional Writing. I am also currently working on my MA in English Literature, to be completed in 2021. I have worked as a tutor at my university's writing center for the last two years, collaborating with students on a variety of different written works. I find that helping students to develop their voices through writing is one of the most rewarding things in the world.

My M.A. is in English Literature from DePaul University. Through DePaul's Urban Teacher's Corps, I tutored extensively in CPS high schools and grammar schools from 2002 through 2003. From 2003 to 2006, I taught English and Communication (public speaking) at Robert Morris College. I also taught Humanities and Creative Writing.Presently, I freelance in publishing with a few major academic publishers. Mostly I index, proofread, and copy edit manuscripts.For my B.A., I double majored in English Literature and Philosophy at Miami University (1996). There I tutored extensively for two years, gaining the maximum clients possible (30 students a week) while still holding down full-time coursework. Twice I took the semester long Study Skills class, which certified me as a Study Skills tutor. Along with Study Skills, I tutored English, Literature, Humanities, Formal Logic, writing, and reading. I also have experience tutoring learning disabled and severely disabled students.Thanks for reading!

Nihao! Hello! I'm passionate about teaching Mandarin and ESL. I have been teaching and tutoring for the past seven years in China and the US, and am currently working on a Masters Degree in teaching Chinese language with the goal of becoming a Chinese professor. I believe that tutoring is the ideal way to learn because it allows for a truly personalized and pressure-free learning experience that will help you build your language skills through natural conversation, activities, and games.Last year I taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year level Mandarin courses in the Upper School at the Latin School of Chicago. After graduating from Oberlin College in 2007 I spent two years teaching English at the Shanxi Agricultural University in Taigu, Shanxi Province of China. Since then I have completed three intensive summer immersion Chinese language courses, worked as the assistant director for the Middlebury-Monterey Chinese language academy at Bard College at Simon's Rock, worked as a translator for www.skritter.com (a website that helps students to practice writing Chinese characters), and as a Chinese language consultant for the Yale University Press on the Encounters Chinese project.Hope to hear from you soon to set up some tutoring sessions!

I attended DePaul University, and in December, I received a Bachelor of Arts in English, with a concentration in Literary Studies, and French. During my time at DePaul, I was a Writing Center Tutor at the University Center for Writing-based Learning. There, I worked with students from a variety of disciplines on their writing. For example, I tutored freshman who were working on rhetorical analyses as well as senior psychology majors working on personal statements for grad school. The diversity of writing I worked with fostered a sense of adaptability in me that I bring to every new tutoring session. I also tutored English Language Learners, focusing more on the technical aspects of language and honing their speaking skills. I tutor any subject under the broad spectrum of English: college writing, reading comprehension, literary analyses, speech and argumentative writing, and so forth. I also tutor French! I received my degree in French and spent a semester abroad in Paris, where I lived with a host family and soaked in the culture, like a slice of baguette bread mopping up a delicious sauce.My tutoring style is direct but not overbearing: I know how to direct students to the right answer, but I will do so through leading questions, providing examples, or referencing rules or conventions that the student has learned previously. Students possess the knowledge the obtain the right answer but sometimes have to be guided to it; that's the purpose of education and tutoring. Because education is so monumental in shaping students' futures, it's crucial that they receive the attention necessary to succeed.Because of my love of all things literary, my hobbies include reading, writing, and attending literary events such as poetry and fiction readings. I also love to dance and to play piano; anything musical interests me! I am a certified Francophile: French food, movies, and culture absolutely excite me, and I love to share my knowledge and experience with others!

Greetings! I am Lizbeth Alanis I am 24 years old and I am an elementary education teacher to be. I am so excited to help you with anything that you need!

I firmly believe that with the proper direction, anyone can learn once they accept the fact that true knowledge can only be achieved by struggling and persevering through the challenges that are presented. I am a compassionate lifelong learner with years of experience in the areas of training and personnel development, who understands the significance of connecting life experiences to the acceptance of new information. I have a bachelor's degree in finance from DePaul University and over 14 years of management experience. Thus, my ability to identify problem area and help students to relate the subject matter to something that they already have an awareness of, is the skill that makes me a great tutor. I'm currently in the midst of a career change working toward a master's degree in secondary education, in the area of mathematics, so that I can actively join the fight to help educate today's youth. I have a passion for teaching math in a way that can be understood in laymen terms so that the beauty of the subject and its relevance to all facets of life can be appreciated. I have worked with high risk elementary students who were performing well below grade level and helped them to meet and/or exceed the required standards by year's end. My teaching philosophy utilizes the backward design method where we begin with the ideal result then we review all of the prerequisite knowledge, skills, and techniques that will be need to solve the problem. With this method the teacher serves as a facilitator who guides the student through the process of using the critical thinking necessary for understanding the desired result. Thus the focus if for the student to gain knowledge of what they are doing and why, not just the answer to a question. In addition to my love for teaching I have an affinity for athletics and a passion for photography, therefore I truly appreciate the hard work and dedication that is required to fulfill a challenging goal as well as the beauty of capturing the moment of triumph. So if you need a tutor who can properly identify a problem area, communicate it in a manner that you can understand, relate it to something that you can identify with, then direct you through the process of obtaining the knowledge and skills necessary for comprehending the solution, I'm your man.

I'm passionate about helping students build confidence in their drawing abilities by breaking down techniques into clear, approachable steps. With 3 years of experience being an instructional assistant, I supported students in small group settings. My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged to grow, experiment, and enjoy the creative process.

I have always had a passion for literacy and multicultural education. During my tenure at DePaul University I completed an externship where I worked at a literacy center tutoring ESL student's and creating individualized education plans. I loved working with students at the literacy center and I felt a deep sense of accomplishment when I was able to help them accomplish their personal goals.I went on to obtain a Master of Education Degree and TEFL certification to help me transition into a teaching career and to prepare me to meet the educational needs of my students. While pursuing my education, I was a struggling single mother with a full-time job, and I was often stressed out and tired. However, I had a wonderful mentor who would encourage me and uplift my spirits when I felt like giving up. It is now my sincere desire to pay it forward. My personal goal is to always guide, uplift and teach my students they can accomplish anything with hard work and faith in themselves.

I have been a college writing instructor for a decade as well as fitness professional for over 20 years. I have tutored hundreds of college and grad students with their essay assignments, projects, and test preparation. Listening is my strongest attribute in helping people write more effectively.Creating challenging, safe, and effective fitness programs is one of the most fun parts of being a personal trainer. Each client deserves a personalized session that is coordinated with their particular goals and addresses any obstacles like injuries or chronic illnesses. Watching clients reach their goals in front of your eyes makes working in the fitness industry exciting. The tests are difficult but manageable and I can help you see where you need to focus your attention to pass the exams.

I am a graduate of DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences with a minor in Digital Cinema. Throughout my college experience, I have tutored in subjects including biology, chemistry, psychology, physics, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. Tutoring is a job that I enjoy because I am a firm advocate of education. When I was growing up, my parents instilled in me the value of knowledge. They often said to me, "Knowledge is something that no one can ever take away from you. It is a gift that only continues to grow as long as you feed it." And so, consequently, I have grown to become a life-long learner. Today, I am pursuing a career as a physician so that I can someday be able to use my knowledge and help others. I will be starting medical school soon, however, in the meantime, I would like to spread knowledge and help students achieve their academic endeavors through tutoring!

Hello, I have a masters degree in biology and work in the biotech industry as a research scientist.I have lived all over the country, which has been a great experience. I attended undergrad at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Then, I completed an AmeriCorps program working in a hospital in Los Angeles, California. I then attended graduate school at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois.While in graduate school, I was a TA and helped several undergrads in biology. I have found that several students have the potential to do well in school. The problems they face can be due to a variety of reasons, and one-on-one tutoring is a great way to help students figure out what those problems are and find out how to master the material.Aside from my math and science interests, I enjoy hanging out with family/friends, reading, movies, traveling, and I'm down for trying almost anything. I also love dogs and have recently adopted my own puppy - a tri-colored, rough coat collie - and I'm having a great time raising him.

I believe all students of all ages can increase their knowledge in a subject area. I can provide the correct tools and motivation to help students succeed! I am friendly, honest and detail oriented.I teach English Language Arts and French to middle school students.I have worked with English language learners as well as advanced learners.

I believe that everyone can learn, provided the teacher finds the proper channel through which to reach the students.I was born in Martinique, raised in Paris where I studied latin, Greek and philosophy. I have a DUEL from University of Paris X/Nanterre. I later moved to New York City and Chicago where I obtained a Bachelors in jazz Performance/Upright bass. I also graduated from DePaul University with a Masters in Education and from Vandercook College of Music with a Masters in Music Education. I have taught music in the chicago Public school system, as well as tutoring students of all ages in French, since it is my native language. I do miss speaking my language and I am still an avid reader of French literature, be it the classic or the most recent literature of the francophone world: Africa and the Caribbean.I am passionate about sharing my language and my culture and hope I can share this passion.

I am currently a neuroscience student at DePaul University in Chicago. I have always enjoyed working with students. I tutored in high school and found that the opportunity to teach/tutor is also an opportunity to learn. I also took AP and Honors courses throughout high school, I was part of the National Honors Society, and was involved in the band, psychology club, philosophy club, and mathletes just to name a few. Currently, I am part of the University Honors Program and the Pathways Honors Program (for science students) at DePaul. I look forward to meeting you!

My name is Aesha. I am freshman at DePaul. I am majoring in Health Sciences with a concentration on pre-physician assistant. I am from Woodstock, IL. My academic strengths pertain to science and math. Growing up, I participated in the math team during middle school and high school. I have previously tutored in high school chemistry and high school algebra. My previous students benefitted from tutoring as a significant letter grade increase was noticeable after several tutoring sessions. My tutoring style is very flexible depending upon the student. I can tutor both virtually and on paper. I am also assertive towards difficult concepts to ensure understanding. Overall, I aspire to make learning fun and productive.

I am a graduate of DePaul University with an International Studies degree. I also received my Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh in Spanish and International Studies with a focus on Latin American Studies. Since graduation, I have translated, interpreted and tutored children in Spanish and ELL. I have also been a substitute teacher for at least two years. I strongly believe that "No Child shall be Left Behind." I am currently obtaining my teaching certificate for the State of Wisconsin in Spanish while attending Educate Wisconsin/St. Mary's University of Minnesota. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Spanish, Latin American history, and International Studies which includes governance, history, culture, language, religion, economics, etc. In my experience helping struggling students by having fun keeps the student engaged in their studies. Every child should be provided the means to strive forward to gain the knowledge and skills to be a University student.It is important in this day in age to at least have your Bachelor's degree to get a good job and I understand that writing and reading is the most important to graduate. In my spare time I like to travel south to see my parents and many different areas in Mexico. I like to read newspapers about politics, volunteer during my spare time with the Salvation Army, Toys for Tots, domestic violence shelters, etc. For fun, I am pretty laid back, I like to sing, I like to watch movies, independent films, and reality tv.

I love to share my knowledge of the political process and my love for history and philosophy with others. Language is very important to me and I hate it when words are mispronounced and misspelled. My interests are singing, movies, history and television, as well as politics and current events.

My name is Brittany. I am a fourth year educator with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and a master's degree in Special Education from University of Illinois Chicago. My favorite part about teaching is developing a relationship with each child and taking their strengths and incorporating it into the learning process!

The tutor and student relationship should always be a positive, interactive, and creative experience that continues to grow with the student's academic ambitions. In my eyes, the word "student" can easily be replaced with "thinker" or "individual," because everyone is unique when it comes to their perspective and thought-process about the world around them.In my view, the best part about my approach to tutoring is that "we" get to decide what personal practices will create the greatest learning experience for you. Of course, the final product of any assignment that you are given needs to be exactly as your school teacher wants it. But the roads, the turns, and the pace that we take to complete that finished product is entirely up to you! If your assignment was to create a painting, I will bring the paint and the brushes - but you will paint the masterpiece with your own ideas.I promise to do my very best to help you get the job done and learn some new critical thinking skills along the way. I am enjoyable to work with, and I promise that you will feel proud about the work that we do after every session!Sincerely,James

"You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself."GalileoI received my undergrad education from DePaul University. I received my Juris Doctor from The John Marshall Law School, and I am currently working on my MBA from the University of Nebraska, with a concentration in Data Analytics.I have worked with kids as an ESL tutor, basketball coach, and writing counselor. I primarily work with those that need help with American History, English, and Social Studies. I absolutely love American history, especially the history of the formation of our government.I would describe my tutoring style by expanding on the quote at the top of my page. "You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself." I really believe the desire to learn comes from within, especially when unfamiliar topics are tied with things in the real world. I try to reinforce these connections.Outside of work and school, I love to play video games and stay active. I love lifting weights and playing basketball and try and find time to join competitive rec leagues when I can.

Learning can sometimes be a challenge. However, I believe that with a bit of creativity and a fresh approach any subject can present an engaging and satisfying opportunity for growth. I've been living in Detroit since I finished my masters program at DePaul University in Chicago in 2011. My tutoring experience started while I was in the Marines from 2001-2005; I frequently had to help some of the troops out with all kinds of topics, ranging from personal finance to hydraulics. After serving, I dedicated myself to helping returning veterans get situated with their GI Bill benefits and application essays. I respect those who seek knowledge and personal improvement and I believe that it is my responsibility to honor that by creating customized, learner-centered, multi-modal educational offerings for my students. I look forward eagerly to working with you.

I am currently finishing my M.A. in English at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. I am excited to help you reach your goals-- whether that is preparation for testing, or working towards a better grade in a troubling class. I can't wait to work with you!

I am an educator and mentor dedicated to helping students build confidence, improve performance, and achieve their academic goals. I recently earned my Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) from the University of Miami with a 4.0 GPA and Academic Merit of Distinction. I create supportive, engaging, and goal-oriented learning environments while adapting my teaching approach to meet each student's individual learning needs.

Hello! My name is Nathan and I have been a teacher for two years. Before teaching full time, I was a long term substitute teacher and a tutor. The majority of my experience is with students age 5-12. I currently teach fourth and fifth grade special education.As a special education teacher, I have experience adapting text for students, using multiple types of questions to build student success, and using technology to practice skills my students are acquiring.Tutoring can be an intensely rewarding experience for students and their tutors. Learning from different people in different settings prepares students to be learning all the time! I will happily provide parents and students with additional resources, and I look forward to your child's success.

Let me start by saying I was never academically inclined. I had a really hard time in a high-pressure traditional school environment. That is why I decided to pursue a career in teaching. I am attending DePaul university and hope to work for CPS in the future. I had a hard time in high school and I want to help other kids with what I picked up over the past many years. I tutor English and History. I love these topics and I want to inspire love and interest in them, not just high grades. If this sounds like you or your child's fit please talk to me!

As a passionate tutor with a Bachelor's in Computer Science from DePaul University, I have over 2 years of experience helping students excel in mathematics and computer science. My teaching philosophy centers around fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and explore concepts deeply. I strive to connect with each student on a personal level, tailoring my approach to their unique learning styles and goals. Witnessing my students grow in confidence and understanding is incredibly rewarding, and I am committed to guiding them on their academic journeys.

I am a High School math teacher. Currently I am teaching AP Calculus, Probability and Statistics, College Algebra, and Algebra II. I started tutoring while I was getting my Bachelors degree. I worked for the college tutoring students who needed help with their math classes. Since then I have been tutoring independently and love doing it. I finished my Masters in Math Teaching in 2015. And I look forward to helping as many students as I can through Varsity Tutors.

I grew up in Chicago's Rogers Park and, later, Morton Grove, IL where I attended Niles West High School. After graduating, I enrolled in the Chemical Engineering program at the Illinois Institute of Technology. While an undergraduate, I was a peer tutor in General Chemistry. My favorite subjects in college always involved using computational models of chemical processes; pursuit of this niche sub-discipline afforded me an opportunity of a semester at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. Upon obtaining my Bachelor of Science Degree, I continued my education to obtain a Master's degree in Chemistry. Subsequently, employed by various companies in the industry, I worked in the fields of Semiconductors, Natural Gas and Energy, and provided technical consultancy to instrument companies and universities. Perhaps as a tribute to experience with tutoring as an undergraduate, and lecturing Chemistry as a graduate student, I had been especially adept at taking a complex scientific or mathematical concept and breaking it down to the level of comprehension by a lay person or a professional of varying discipline -- a precursor to my present occupation. After transitioning from the industry to education, I was fortunate to discover passion and fulfillment in helping students achieve their personal goals, be it basic education, performance in math and science, standardized testing, high school equivalency attainment or self-improvement through further education and more lucrative career options. In addition to being a tutor, I volunteer at the Howard Area Community center as an Adult Basic Education Tutor and at Horizons for Youth, working with at-risk urban youth.
