Award-Winning Tutors from Georgia State University

In addition to my experience, I have earned a Master's degree in Education Curriculum and Instruction and a Bachelor's Degree in Public Policy. I have experience working with youth in the following areas: Program Lead, Educational Coordinator, Substitute teaching, Student support coach, Middle teaching fellow and tutoring. I have tutored and Co-taught Middle school math. I have a strong passion for mentoring the youth and working within an educational setting, which will always drive me to succeed.

I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in psychology from Georgia State University. I have been tutoring since I was in high school and have continued to do so within my community's schools. My experience lies in social sciences, elementary through high school math, biology, and ELA.

It is not only my dream, but my God-given gift to be a servant to others. In particular, interning in the legal profession would allow me to continue my commitment to ridding homelessness and eradicating unequal education for all students. I feel confident that I could contribute substantively to this program while strengthening the skills Ill need for my career. As an elementary school teacher for Teach for America, I was able to see how various practices disproportionately affect students of color and without equal education, life as we know it, in essence, can never be truly equal.For two years, I have worked at the United States Veterans Administration Domiciliary for Homeless Veterans. One veteran (whom I grew to admire) thanked me for simply listening to him vent about being proud of being drug and alcohol free for six months. He specifically indicated that our conversation gave him the gusto to attend an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting that dayone in which he served as the group leader. This experience revealed to me what I already believedthat people are inherently good. We simply need the right set of circumstances in front of us in order for our best selves to shine. And every once in a while, some of us need second chances.Since my career goals are vested in civil rights and equal opportunity, and discrimination generally, I have facilitated various presentations for homeless veterans, parents, school workers, and students on their rights and opportunities to advocate for themselves. This semester, I was elected as the 1L Section Representative and joined the Child and Youth Advocates, situations which have exposed me to the work lawyers can do to promote the rights of students. Additionally, joining the Women of Law has kept me updated on the issues facing female minority students. My work as Section Representative continues to keep me advocating for my peers on issues that affect us as we matriculate through law school. This experience has begun to give me experience in working with people, and working with your company would allow me to gain experience advocating for the specific client populations I hope to assist in my career.Given my background in education and talent for leading students, instructors, and teaching teams toward success, I feel I am in a great position to make a positive impact your company. I would be very happy to work on cases dealing with language or national origin discrimination, but Id also be delighted at the opportunity to work in any of the areas on which your office focuses, including LGBT and disability rights. I am eager to have the opportunity to work for this program and work on issues that enhance our country. I hope that you will humbly accept my letter and consider me for opportunities that may come.

I earned my Master's in Biology from Georgia State University. Teaching across several content areas in science for 12 years has lead to my current position as Director and Lead Facilitator at a local Facilitated Learning Academy. I have acquired skills in teaching such that I can increase your understanding and proficiency in areas including content understanding, problem-solving skills, test taking skills, data analysis skills, and self-evaluation skills utilizing and building upon your current strengths. Many of the skills you will learn with me will help you in other courses. My goal is to contribute to your growth and confidence as a learned individual.

I am a graduate of Georgia State University where I studied Journalism and Psychology. I am currently pursuing my graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am an advocate for literacy and higher education. In all fields, I feel it is important to be able to read and formulate thinking into sentences. I believe by educating and motivating youth they will discover the next big ideas, make a difference in their community, and give back to others.Outside of tutoring I enjoy music and watching television. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

I am currently living in a small coastal town in Spain called Altea. I have experience teaching a wide range of subjects from high school biology to advanced graduate level statistics. I hold a bachelor's degree in Entomology from the University of Georgia. This summer I completed a master's degree in Biostatistics and Public Health from Georgia State University. My research was on complex and multilevel modeling of chronic diseases. I also worked for Grady hospital in Atlanta, Georgia as a Research Assistant for 6 months. I'm extremely passionate about statistics and science in general. As a teacher, I focus on trying to present things using real world applications and examples so that my students can see relevance in the work that we do together and are able to grasp abstract concepts more easily.

I believe that every student learns differently, and effective tutoring starts with understanding how each individual processes information. My goal as a tutor is to meet students where they are and adapt my approach to fit their learning style, whether that means breaking concepts down step-by-step, using real-world examples, or practicing problems together until the material clicks. I'm passionate about helping students realize that difficult subjects can become manageable.

Hello! My name is Sarah. I received my Masters in Arts in Sociology from Northern Illinois University and currently earning my Ph.D Sociology at Georgia State University.

Salute, My name is Joel Everett and I have been tutoring now for 8 years. I started tutoring when I graduated high school at the age of 16 at the college of Tallahassee Community College, and then from there I went to Georgia state University which is where I received my bachelor's of science. From then on, I knew tutoring was not just a passion but also a great skill of mine. Since then, I have worked with large Corporations and Small L.L.C companies so I have quite the experience tutoring all kids from kindergarten all the way up to undergraduate seniors in college. On the other note outside of college I have been competing in chess competitions since I was in 6th grade, I have interned in laboratories at GSU, and TCC. Teaching is my higher than me calling it is something I don't just enjoy for myself but I enjoy help educating fellow people. Education is the key, to the lock of ignorance. After deciding working in a stem cell and cancer biology laboratory is not for me, I ventured into teaching and business. I cannot wait to help and meet the many students I will come across, because we all need each other to help each other, be better for one another.

I have just completed my MA in English Literature at Georgia State University, where I worked as a writing tutor in the Writing Studio and as an instructor for multiple sections of English 1101 and 1102. I have also spent a year working as a high school English Language Arts teacher. My favorite part of these jobs has been working one-on-one with students and writers, helping them improve their ability to convey themselves through writing. I believe in an interactive tutoring style, one in which I do not function as an editor or grammar-checking machine but rather as a collaborator with the tutee. I want to have conversations about writing, meaning, and intention with my tutees so that I can facilitate the flow of their ideas both globally (at the project level) and locally (at the sentence and paragraph level). Using this approach, I have seen writers improve not only the pieces which we worked on, but also improve their relationship to writing as an iterative process of self-expression and personal and professional growth, regardless of their disciplines or goals.My past work experience has reinforced my ability to carry out my pedagogical philosophy. During my time as a tutor, I helped students and alumni with a wide array of writing, including essays, resumes, grant writing, lab reports, screenplays, memoirs, and other creative writing. I worked closely with two MFA students on their art theses (one on sculpture and the other in mixed media painting) and a PhD candidate with her dissertation on chemistry pedagogy. I am familiar with AP, MLA, and Chicago styles of formatting. I also worked with a variety of special needs students. In 2019, I received the "Tutor of the Year" award from the Writing Studio (voted on by my peers and the Studio directors) As a graduate student, I developed strong research methodologies, making me especially adept at helping writers with research projects of any kind. As an instructor, I became adept at providing feedback to my students' assignments, specifically focusing on rhetoric and argumentation. Beyond post-secondary education, my year as a high school teacher made me familiar with the National Standards of Excellence for high school students and many ELA assignments and their learning outcomes. Based on these experiences, I am qualified to work with a wide age range of students and writers from many disciplines.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish from the University of the South in Sewanee, TN. I earned my Master of Arts in Spanish Literature from Georgia State University, and am currently studying for my PhD in Foreign Language education at Georgia State University. My teaching experience includes 3.5 years at the middle and high school levels and 6 years at the university level. I have also tutored at the university level. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, watching baseball and playing golf.

I have always been a reflective person, so when it comes to teaching I am one who reflects often, thoughtfully, and intuitively. I believe that when working with student it is essential to help each student become reflective and metacognitive about their own learning. If students are reflective in their learning process they will be able to advocate what they need to continue learning, they will be able to understand how to seek out knowledge, and they will become life-long learners as a result.

Hello young grasshoppers! Sometimes science can be confusing and boring, but good news I'm here to help! As a biology graduate of Georgia State University and middle school science teacher of 3 years, I've had my share of learning complicated concepts. Let me help you demystify the concepts you're learning in class and watch your grades improve!

My earliest childhood memory is in a classroom in Germany. I started school overseas on an Army base and I remember feeling fascinated with my surroundings. New books, new people, toys, paper and crayons were all within my grasp and sweet faced old woman was standing in front of the room excited to equip me with the knowledge of how to proceed. I loved school and academia since then and gravitated towards the sciences around middle school. I knew from early on that I wanted to become a physician but I also knew that I additionally wanted to continue to pass the information that I learned on. See one, do one, teach one has become of my favorite mantras.In teaching students I believe in using real world applications to excite the audience about the material they are getting ready to learn. I believe the first 10 minutes of every lecture is the most crucial and typically start off with a problem/quiz that will relate to the information of the day to captivate the classroom. Interaction is a key to learning. I attempt to personalize it at every opportunity hoping that students realize that sitting back and passively absorbing knowledge is not an option or a key ingredient in the recipe for success.Another important aspect to teaching is incorporating methods that apply to all different learning styles. Realizing that students are diverse and you are constantly speaking to a mix of auditory, visual or tactile learners is important and should be noted with every lesson plan. The beauty of science is that the topic can be manipulated to accommodate all styles and promote knowledge.Ultimately, my goal is to give someone the same sense of wonder that so many excellent professors have done for me over the years. To quote Socrates "I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think" and hopefully as an adjunct professor that is exactly what I will do.

I am a Georgia State University graduate with a bachelor of science in biology. I love science, helping others, and a good laugh. I am very patient and like to use creative teaching methods. I have worked with all age groups and have tutored in a variety of subjects.I look forward to working with you !

As a passionate educator, I am dedicated to helping students excel in their Bar Exam preparation or in their classes!

My approach includes focusing on the Black Letter Law, strategizing, learning how to gather and understand performance data, and preparing for what to expect on Exam Days!

I am passionate about helping students learn, reach their goals, and have some fun in the process. I am a speech-language pathologist by training with five years of prior research experience studying language recovery after stroke. I received my Bachelor's degree from Rice University and my Master's at Georgia State University. I have successfully helped students achieve their academic dreams with higher SAT/ACT scores and top-of-the-class grades. My teaching philosophy is student-centered, interactive, and individualized to each student's goals, needs, and strengths.

I graduated from Georgia State University. I received my B.A in English with a focus on Creative Writing. I also have a minor degree in Entertainment Media Management. During college, I spent a great deal of time mentoring middle school and high school students. I held the position of Leadership Liaison which means I taught lectures on becoming a leader and building a personal brand. My goal with each interaction with each student is to get them on the path to self-guided discovery and growth. After graduation, I became a nanny for children under the age of 5. We worked on early childhood development and focused on phonics. I am passionate about helping students because no one should have to face challenges alone. One person can provide one word and change your perspective.My focus as a tutor is English, Composition, and Creative Writing. As a student of English and the written word, I believe communication is the central thread to all beings on the planet. Learning how to tailor your communication style to your audience is the key to understanding people and their lives.Outside of academia, I am passionate about dance, music, art, and culture. I enjoy visiting art exhibits, dance performances, music concerts, and watching documentaries just to name a few. I look forward to working with the great minds of the present and future.

Hello,I am a graduate of Georgia State University who earned my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. As a freshman and sophomore in college, I tutored inner-city middle school students within a 10 mile radius of my campus. Since graduating from college I have taught pre-kindergarten and first grade, and I have continued to tutor elementary through high school age students in both Math and English.I believe in offering as many hands-on learning experiences as possible. Children and adults, alike, tend to learn best by "doing." It's also important that I teach each student according to their learning mode. For example, in order for my visual learner to further grasp the lesson that I'm teaching, I may use a graphic organizer.During a tutoring sessions, I have the opportunity to mentor my students as well as teach them academic skills they need. As I get to know my students, I often bring their interests into my lessons. I have been given the pleasure of witnessing the progress of the students I tutor quicker than I would in a classroom of twenty-five students. I believe that both the tutor and the student have much to gain from tutoring sessions.

Hi! I'm Priya, a mathematics student with a passion for helping others build confidence in math. I believe every student can succeed with the right support, patience, and approach. Whether you're preparing for an exam, working through homework, or trying to understand a difficult concept, I strive to make learning clear, engaging, and stress-free. As both a math major and a tutor, I understand that everyone learns differently. I tailor each session to the student's individual needs, breaking down complex topics into manageable steps while encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving skills. My goal is not just to help students get the right answer, but to ensure they truly understand the material and feel confident solving similar problems on their own. I look forward to helping you reach your academic goals and making math a little less intimidatingand maybe even enjoyable!

I have years of experience in tutoring ages 4 to 18 in various subjects. I enjoy helping students succeed and believe that every student has great potential.

I love working with students; it's a joy getting to know them as individuals and tailoring my tutoring methods to fit their specific needs and interests.I recently graduated from Georgia State University, where I received my BA in English Literature. I've tutored for five years; primarily, I've been a private English Language Arts tutor for middle and high school students. I am also a freelance editor, so I have a keen eye and practiced knowledge on grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc.Some of the things I can help your child with include:-Developing and writing essays-Reading comprehension-Understanding sentence structures and writing complete, grammatically correct sentences-Using punctuation, including the ever-dreaded commaI believe in the importance of seeing and working with your child's individuality and creativity! I will take the time to learn about your child's specific strengths and challenges, so I can create lessons that keep them engaged.

I received my PhD in Literary Studies/English from Georgia State University. My primary concentration was Medieval Literature, and my secondary concentration was History of the English Language. I love literature, words, and writing! While earning my PhD, I spent a semester in Venice, Italy, which really broadened my perspective on all aspects of language and writing. I taught English 1101/1102 English Composition to hundreds of students for five years at GSU. I also taught Survey of World Literature there, as well as Academic Writing at Mercer University as an adjunct professor. My doctoral dissertation has been downloaded hundreds of times around the world, and counting! It focuses upon specific representations of fantastic beasts and monsters in Old English writings (you've perhaps heard of the redoubtable Grendel?). Over my years of teaching, I immensely enjoyed working with students to enhance THEIR enjoyment of the writing process, which many did not initially feel that they possessed. I have always taken great satisfaction from accompanying students through the various stages of the writing process until arriving at polished finished products of which they were proud to call their own. In my spare time, I love reading (not a shock there), looking up word origins, writing, traveling a bit, and spending time with my family and friends.

In December 2014 I graduated with honors 2014 from Georgia State University, majoring in Early Childhood Education. Helping students and serving as a positive male role model is my primary goal. While I tutor a broad range of subjects and age groups, I am most passionate about English, Literature, Math, and Science. During my time at Georgia State I worked as a student intern for two and half years, teaching in elementary classrooms and ESOL classes. I have worked with students of all backgrounds and learning styles, and I believe it is important to connect and relate to students in order for content to appeal to them. In my spare time I like to swim, play volleyball, draw, write, read, play card games, video games, and collect comic books.

I have a Masters of Teaching from Georgia State University in Behavior and Learning Disorders. I currently teach 7th grade ELA in a National Blue Ribbon School in Georgia. I am a certified Reading Specialist and I hold a Gifted Endorsement. I truly love learning, and I believe the greatest way to impact a person's life is to teach them to love to learn. Learning may be difficult for a multitude of reasons, but learning does not need to be dreadful. When we make learning accessible, students can engage, and that is when learning happens and students thrive. I am experienced teaching and tutoring in the following areas:- Language Arts (Reading, Writing, Grammar, Poetry) grades 6-12- Reading, Phonics, Literacy Interventions grades K-12- Executive Functioning Skills, Study Skills, and Organizational Strategies grades 6-12I am particularly passionate about working with students and adults with dyslexia. My daughter is dyslexic, and I absolutely love her brain. The dyslexic brain has such an incredible ability to visualize in dimensions that most of us can't even comprehend. We are beginning to learn more about this, and I am convinced that soon we will understand enough to see the superpower we've been missing because we've all been focused only on the weakness. I am on a mission to help as many children and adults with dyslexia develop their reading skills, but do so while building confidence and trust in their strengths. This is what drove me to leave a successful business career and become a teacher.Prior to teaching, I spent 10+ years in business. I have a Bachelor's of Science in Human Resource Management. When I left the corporate world to learn more about what was happening with my daughter's difficulty learning to read, I was Vice President of Organizational Development of a publicly traded company. I have vast experience with HR, business process design, leadership development, customer experience, management, resume writing, and interview skills.

I am currently a senior marketing student at Georgia State University, as well as a public relations assistant. Throughout the years I continue to rediscover my love for learning and teaching and hope to share the value of education through unique, fun, and productive experiences!I primarily teach elementary reading and writing, English as a Second Language, and public speaking.Fun Fact: Outside of the academic space, I also love to teach dance!

I completed my MBA in Financial Management last December at Pace University in new York City. In 2011, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelors of Business Administration in Finance and Mathematics from Georgia State University in Atlanta.Tutoring has always been a second nature to me as I regularly helped my two younger brothers with their homework throughout their middle and high school years. I currently work as a business counselor where I teach entrepreneurs and young business owners how to write business plans and create their financial statements.I tutor Algebra, Calculus I, Introductory Finance, Introductory Accounting, and French although my true passion is Maths. If I had to describe my tutoring style in one word I would say flexible. My goal is to make sure my students feel comfortable and enthusiastic about learning. It is important for me to listen to them, learn which teaching mechanism works best for them, and adapt myself to maximize their learning experience.Some of my favorite hobbies are reading, swimming, and puzzles!

I hold a Doctorate in Counseling and Community Care, a Master's in Reading and Literacy, and a Bachelor's in Education. Over the past 2 decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring students in all subjects, K12, with a special focus on college and career readiness, reading comprehension, vocabulary, and test-taking strategies across subjects such as English, History, Civics, and the Sciences. I'm an educator and counselor with over 24 years of experience helping students, teachers, and families grow in confidence and success. My journey in education has taken me from the classroom, where I've taught grades 1 through 12, to the counseling office and district level, where I've supported schools in strengthening both academic and behavioral growth. While I've spent most of my career working with middle and high school students, my passion lies in helping learners of all ages become stronger readers, critical thinkers, and confident achievers. My goal is to meet each student where they are and equip them with the tools to reach their academic goals and beyond. Affectionately known by my students as "Dr. J" or "Dr. Sunshine," I bring warmth, encouragement, and faith-driven positivity into every session. I believe that every student has a light to share, and I'm here to help them shine forward with purpose, confidence, and hope.

I have 9 years experience as a classroom teacher and 12 years experience tutoring students who have English as a second language. I also specialize in helping students on the spectrum. I hold a Bachelor's degree from Georgia State University with a focus on Education and I have also done additional coursework in Education at Governors State University, a leader in teacher training in Illinois. In my teaching, my focus is on determining HOW a student can best achieve their learning goals. Being familiar with the seven learning styles, I believe that everyone can achieve success. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a student succeed!

I believe that education is the foundation of all things to come in life. We are constantly learning from birth through adulthood, and I am here to support that learning in a healthy and nurturing environment.

My research area is Artificial Life: developing simulations to model co-evolution of ecosystems.I tutor Mathematics and Computer Programming at the High School, Collegiate, and Professional levels. I believe that education should be practical and useful, and I encourage students to apply their newfound knowledge into projects and work that they enjoy and prosper from.

Gratified Georgia State student, biomedical major breathing science, living science, and thinking science. With knowledge we can conquer anything!

Quite simply my passion is literature: I hold two degrees in creative writing (a B.F.A. and an M.A.) and write poetry, fiction, critical essays, and creative non-fiction. While completing my masters from 2012-2014, I tutored students at my university's writing center. It was there that I discovered another of my passions: helping students who are eager to learn. My profoundly meaningful experience as a tutor led me to join Varsity after graduation.I believe in the importance of writing correctly, expressively, and effectively. Being able to express oneself precisely is vital for students of all disciplines, and indeed for all people who are involved in the difficult process of navigating human relationships. Achieving this precision, however, easier said than done. As a tutor, I am committed to helping students express themselves with as much creativity and uninhibitedness as possible while also staying true to the constraints of the English language. I believe that I am able to do this by employing the conversational method of pedagogy: asking questions, prodding students to push themselves creatively and intellectually, and attending to the details of their written work. By submitting ourselves to this process, we not only improve the quality of the essay, we improve as writers, thinkers, and communicators.

I am law student at Georgia State University. I have a B.S. in Management with a Certificate in Marketing from Georgia Tech, where I was in the Co-op Program and the Honors Program.

I love to travel and have traveled extensively in Europe and Australia, as well as around the US.

I am a game designer of Georgia State University who is striving to achieve a Bachelor of Art's degree. While I am interested in a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Game Design, Unity, and Unreal Engine, and I am excited to help anyone seeking assistance in understanding the process of game design and video game production in general. I will try my best to share what I understand with my students, and will take time to help them follow their passion.
