My experience with tutoring stems back to my high schools days, where I would work in the language lab to help my peers increase their proficiency with Spanish and French. After graduating from high school with my IB diploma, I attended New York University, where I majored in Politics and Spanish. I then attended Loyola Marymount University where I received my master's degree in Urban Education. I have worked in education for the past 6 years, beginning as a 2012 Teach For America corps member in Los Angeles. I have taught nearly every subject in middle school classrooms, and I have taught both biology and algebra to high schoolers. My favorite subjects to tutor are mathematics and Spanish, as I find them to be the most engaging, but I enjoy and can help with nearly all content areas. When I was in school, I was (and still am!) a self-described "nerd" who really enjoyed expanding my knowledge base and taking on academic challenges. I hope to impart the idea that tackling new concepts can be fun and rewarding at the same time. Additionally, as a generally "good test taker," I enjoy helping students hone their test taking skills to achieve optimal results. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy running, listening to music, a game of tennis, or a good TV-binge session.

I am an educator dedicated to supporting students with various needs, at various ages. Upon graduating from University of Maryland, College Park, I pursued a teaching program, allowing me to manage a self contained class of 3rd graders. I've also had the pleasure of serving early elementary, high school, college, and adult learners. Through earning my Masters in Education, my expertise grew with utilizing Response to Intervention (RTI) strategies to help move learners closer to and above grade level in their Math, English Language Arts, and Social studies assignments and assessments. My entire career thus far has focused on supporting students with all learning styles to reach their goals both inside and outside of the classroom.

I am a graduate of Loyola Marymount University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology and played four years of Division 1 soccer. I will be attending medical school in Fall 2019 at Creighton University. With 7 years of tutoring under my belt, 4 of which included working as a peer tutor for LMU Athletics, I have developed a strong passion for assisting others inside and out of the classroom to reach successful academic goals. I believe having a strong foundation in education is important for future success in our careers and relationships. As a STEM major, I have focused on tutoring in math and sciences as I enjoy working through problems with my students in an engaging manner and finding which methods work for them. Along with tutoring, I am a licensed EMT and perform clinical oncology research for UCLA. In my spare time, I enjoy running, working out, reading, and playing soccer.

I am a former Teach For America corps member who spent several years teaching English and writing in New York City and Atlanta classrooms, working with students from middle school through high school in both classroom and one on one settings. I hold a Master of Fine Arts from Loyola Marymount University and an undergraduate degree in Strategic Communications and Journalism from Ohio State University, which gave me a deep foundation in writing, composition, and communication at every level. My approach is always to meet students where they are. Whether a student is struggling with essay structure, working through a reading assignment, or trying to find their own voice as a writer, I focus on building real skills and genuine confidence rather than just getting through the assignment. I am also a working television writer with credits on Amazon and Peacock series, which means I bring a practical understanding of how strong writing actually works beyond the classroom.

I graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a Bachelor's in Animation. Since then I have worked independently as a publisher and manager in the independent comics industry, and have volunteered and worked in various areas of education for children and teens, as well as workshops geared towards adults. While I have a broad range of art experience, particularly related to animation and comic industry education, I also offer tutoring for SAT Math. Outside of work, I love to read manga and play video games, and I also love spending time with my cats and pet chickens. I am also a longtime horse and bird nerd (and am happy to bring biology education/studies into a discussion on animal and monster character design).

I will help you reach your math goals! I am a former Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry teacher. I also have experience tutoring middle school and elementary school students. I earned my undergraduate degree in Economics from Brown University, and my Masters in Education from Loyola Marymount University. I currently work as the Associate Director of Programs for a non profit organization that puts student centered curriculums in schools and after school programs. I seek every opportunity to help students succeed and feel good about their academic experiences. As a tutor, I believe in learning about my student and his or her needs first, listening to my students goals, setting collective goals, and emphasizing growth (growth WILL HAPPEN!). I stay patient and provide specific steps for concepts. I am clear in my responses, I ask questions, I check for understanding, and I remain encouraging!

I'm passionate about guiding students in the world of philosophy and the humanities more broadly. With 7 years of teaching experience at the college level and many years of tutoring outside of college, I know what it's like to be stuck and lost in navigating difficult concepts. I believe in guiding students in incremental and simple steps to more challenging material, and that every student can be successful.

I am a teacher and tutor with 12 years of experience. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Literature, Master's in Education from Loyola Marymount University, and my Master's in Writing from George Mason University. I have traveled and taught extensively, teaching middle school in California, children and adults in China and Virginia looking to improve their English (as I am a certified ESL instructor); and college-level English and essay-writing. I have served over 1000+ students across my career.

I am eager to meet you! I have experience teaching and tutoring both English as a Second Language (ESL) and Language Arts. I also received 5s on both of the English Language and English Literature AP tests. In my free time I like to paint, draw, read and work out. I also love trying new foods at local restaurants. I hope that we can connect and work out a time to tutor!

Hi there! My name is Iselee, I am a graduate of Loyola Marymount University with an undergraduate degree in Spanish, and I am currently a visual artist pursuing further studies in digital and web design.I formerly taught bilingual math and science, and I am a certified bilingual education teacher in the state of Texas. I love learning, imparting knowledge, and bilingualism, and I am eager to assist students with academic goals. Previously, I've taught 3rd grade bilingual courses including English and Spanish literacy and grammar as well as math, science, and social studies. I have also tutored high school and university writing and math. I have extensive writing and editing experience as well as lesson planning, curriculum assessment, and critical evaluation ability.A lifelong student, I would be delighted to help you find your passion for learning as well as equip you to independently pursue academic excellence.

I have received my Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia with a focus in image and minor in Business Administration from Loyola Marymount University. Currently, I am working to get my Masters in Secondary Education, also from LMU. In addition to my Masters, I hope to earn my Teaching Credentials as well. As an undergrad, I tutored for the Academic Resource Center on campus for about two years; I have worked one-on-one with students as well as worked with a group of up to 15 students. In addition to this, I mentored for CollegeSpring, a SAT prep program, during the summer after graduation. At the end of the summer, my student's average scores increased by 200-300 points.Because I was an art major in college, I am a bit out of practice when it comes to Pre-Calculus and such, but math was my best subject in school and I can pick it up again quickly as I have seen in my experience with CollegeSpring. Math is my favorite subject because solving problems is like solving a puzzle; there are many ways to go about finding the solution but, at least for this level of math, there is only one answer. The subjects I feel the most confident tutoring are SAT Math, Algebra or below, Public Speaking, and Essay Editing/ Writing.From my experience as both a student and a tutor, I find that the best way to teach students is to leave the pen/pencil in their hands for at least 90% of the time. Although it is vital to give examples and work through problems together, the tutor's job is not to give answers and simply show how problems are done. This may cause students to memorize techniques rather than learn the critical thinking process that allows them to do work on their own. I strongly believe that my job as a tutor is to ask the student questions that will assist them to arrive at an answer on their own. Of course, examples need to be given and I may give more help in the beginning, but the goal is to ween students off help after time. I cannot stand over their shoulder during tests or be there as they go through college so they must learn how to approach work on their own.Outside of work and school, I enjoy cooking, exercise, and drawing. The way food affects our mood, body, and health intrigues me- which is why I love cooking. In addition to food, a healthy mind and body must have proper exercise. While I may not be the best when it comes to running, I have started weight training and am looking for other ways to get cardio into my routine which includes hikes. Drawing, however, remains my passion. While it is time consuming and I do not have as much time for it as I used to, I love figure drawing, impressionist painting, and illustrating cartoons.

I've been working as a math tutor for most of my life, and I pride myself on my ability to work with an individual student to figure out how to connect with them, since the first thing any student needs is a willingness to try.

I attended Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas for high school where I graduated with honors and then moved out to California to attend Loyola Marymount University to continue what the Jesuits like to refer to as "Cura Personalis" or "Education of the Whole Person." At LMU I majored in English Literature, but I also had the opportunity to engage in creative writing of all types and flavors including but not limited to poetry, fictional prose, playwriting, and various forms of journalism. I minored in Archaeology, which blended my love of history with my passion for anthropology. I acted as the Assistant Curator at LMU's on campus museum, which grew during my tenure by 60% in terms of donations and acquisitions. As the Curator I had the opportunity to give lectures and tutor college-aged students in history, art, architecture, and historical preservation. I graduated Loyola Marymount University with honors, and decided to attend Southwestern Law School. At Southwestern, I specialized in criminal law, labor law, civil procedure, and constitutional law. I graduated Southwestern, attained my Juris Doctor, and sat for the California Bar Exam in July. Above all things, I prize academic prowess and the desire to learn and master more. As such, I chose a career in which I know I can act as a constant student and a constant teacher. Such a level of dedication is required, in fact, because the law is fluid and in a constant state of flux.I tutor in history, English literature of all types (writing, reading comprehension, analytical thinking), government, and politics. Throughout my educational and professional career I have been regarded as an exceptional writer. I have actually had the opportunity to edit many publications which have appeared in print as well as online. As such, I am adept at aiding students in how to be their own editors and how to see the gaps in their writing and where they need improvement. My favorite subject to tutor is history. I especially love world history.My hobbies include keeping physically active. I love to play basketball and beach volleyball. I enjoy playing golf, but I'm not very good. Golf is an activity which I picked up in my adult life. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. I also enjoy watching movies, reading good books, hiking, cooking, and generally keeping an open mind. I constantly find new activities that I enjoy.

My educational philosophy has been based on the premise that :I believe thatEvery child can learn and has the potential to succeed.Every student is an individual and has their own individual learning style.Every student should be assessed in the way that allows them to best express their abilities.Learning should be student centered & curriculum based on the needs of the students in align with the state standards as a guide.Learning should be authentic and interdisciplinary.Learning should be interactive, engaging and creative. If the student is not engaged , able to interact with the teacher & able to express one self creatively than learning is no longer taking place bc the student has checked out:(.The classroom climate is set by the teacher's attitude which should be positive & focused on the progress & attempts by learner not just the result.The classroom creates a family of learners, working together for the common goal of learning a little bit more each day & encouraging all attempts to take risks in their educational journey!The classroom should be a safe, inviting and stimulating environment where depending on the needs of each learner is student focused or teacher directed / modeled .As a teacher , my main goal is to get to know each child & see what motivates them to just "try" & take a risk (whether it's getting their mouth ready to sound out a word or holding their pencil & trying to write any part of the first letter of just/her name & to access their unique style of learning & provide engaging , creative, brain growing lessons. I don't believe that any individual whether child or adult is able to grow in their learning if they are scared of a negative consequence to their attempt to try & take a risk in their learning. Positive reinforcement & praising my student for their attempts & getting the student to try a little bit more each time we meet is my way of creating a learning environment engaging to all. I meet my student where they are at & take them where they need to be!As a parent of three drastically different but so unique & gifted kiddos in their own way; I have celebrated their attempts as well as their accomplishments.The simple mottos of "just try" & "mistakes are proof of us trying in our house" led to two honor roll students in high school & my youngest in the gifted self-contained program. I taught all three of my children to read & print when their fathers work had us traveling most of the year. It was challenging & so fun ... but learning should be:)!The most important thing I did as a parent & educator at that time was to learn a new skill while teaching my kids because it helped me empathize so much with all the information overload that we have a tendency to put on their growing brains & it reminded me of what it feels like to not get something right away when it is so easy for everyone else. Because of my ADHD this skill was so hard & so challenging to learn bc there was so much information & it was all new! Normally that would be fine but all of the students learning with me picked it up so easily . I had to work twice as hard & study twice as hard as my fellow students but it was totally worth it . Not only was it worth it for me to take risks & keep trying even though I didn't get it (boy , I was frustrated at times)but it immensely helped as a parent & educator to slow down , to celebrate any & all attempts made , and to breathe ...with enough practice, patience & encouragement my kids or students would get it. My main objective with your child is to give them courage to take risks with me & feel safe to "just try".I look forward for the opportunity to work with your child & getting to know your child so that we can have an educational experience that will give them confidence to take risks in their learning career each & every day!Ms. Nicole

As an education enthusiast, I am dedicated to the process of learning through interactive efforts. I believe in a holistic approach that incorporates the various learning styles of auditory, visual, kinesthetic and those (like myself) that must physically feel the pen hit the paper. I am fun, friendly, and passionate about helping students succeed and gain confidence in subjects they may have felt uneasy about previously.

I completed my undergraduate education in three years at Georgetown University in Washington, DC where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service. I then attended Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles where I was part of the Partners in Los Angeles Education (PLACE) Corps. There I earned my Master of Arts in Secondary Education and my California Single Subject Clear Credential with an authorization in social science. I am currently in the process of adding an English authorization to my credential. I will return to Loyola Marymount to work on a second Master's degree in the Fall.I have been in the classroom for almost four years teaching social studies, religion, and English to grades 5 - 12. I have experience at both the high school and middle school levels. I also was previously a coach for the Catholic School's Junior High Academic Decathlon for multiple subjects. I regularly hold tutoring for my students have much experience tutoring a variety of subjects at the middle school level.I am in education because it is a constantly changing field where one can always work on improving one's teaching. I enjoy the challenges of teaching and tutoring because it means that no two days are ever the same. In addition, I enjoy using research based methods in education. I also believe in empowering students to reach their goals.I enjoy cooking on my free time, researching topics in Junior High Academic Decathlon, and keeping up with my friends.

I graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 1994 and began my teaching career right after that. I have taught all levels of High School Mathematics, from Pre-Algebra all the way through AP Calculus BC and AP Statistics, as well as adjunct teaching at the Community College level. I work hard at making Math easier for students to understand, and realize that helping students make sense of the logic is imperative to success. I use a variety of methods while tutoring, including the use of manipulatives and dialogue to help students gain concrete understanding of topics. While not in school, I enjoy singing and playing my piano and guitar, as well as the occasional round of golf. I am also a volleyball official and can be found many weekends at the local courts (both indoor and outdoor) honing my craft.

After attending Rice University in Houston, I taught chemistry in Los Angeles, moved back to Houston and taught chemistry, algebra 1, algebra 2, and geometry to high school students.At Rice I was pre-med for a while before I decided to become a teacher and major in psychology. In Los Angeles I earned a Masters in Urban Education and credential in science education. I taught SAT math to 9th, 10th, and 11th graders here in Houston.

I am a multi-level, multi-subject educator offering 8+ years experience in instruction; consistent performance record and excellent reviews; and innovative instructional methods to maximize student understanding and performance across various learning styles, abilities, and interests. It is my pleasure to educate through Varsity Tutors.

Passionate and communicative teacher who enjoys being creative and group problem solving.I am a junior at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, double majoring in film production and screenwriting. I am a super hard worker, and I love talking with/getting to know people. I am also very adaptable and can jump between teaching styles whenever needed; I have taught all grade levels K-12.I enjoy teaching, film, animation, writing, chess and more!

I have a BA in Economics from UCLA and studied for MBA at Loyola Marymount in LA. Since then I have been Controller, CFO, CEO for at least seven small businesses. I have had to grow my own employees everywhere I have gone working mostly with students and entry-level employees. I have done with patience, teaching, providing examples, and then giving responsibility to the student. I am starting tutoring with accounting and economics due to my strong background in these subjects. Outside of tutoring, I love PAC-12 sports, cooking, remodeling and traveling.

I enjoy helping students with high school and college level math problems. I have been tutoring math online for the past 8 years. I like to make each tutoring session as student-centered as possible by letting the student do as much work as he or she can.

I am a graduate of Loyola Marymount University (LMU) in Los Angeles. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a primary focus on filmmaking and cinematography. I have worn many hats in the film industry including camera and electric departments as an inroads to opportunities in cinematography. I also worked as a photo assistant shooting 35mm, medium and large format for many large profile clients. I eventually chose to pursue cinematography through my own work and allowing my learned knowledge and innate skills speak for themselves. I eventually found my passion for shooting narrative films, both short and long form and have had the good fortune to work with talented directors, actors, producers and others from around the world. Films I shot have been screened at film festivals around the world and one feature film was awarded best cinematography at a NYC film festival. During this time I also utilized my skill and knowledge as a cinematographer to photograph mostly fine art and more recently into portraits and product photography. I created and taught an intro to photography class to traveling students at a photo studio in Manhattan in which the students were able to create and composed their own images by the end of the workshop. I also created and taught an intro to filmmaking class to middle and high school kids in which I guided them through writing a script, shooting and editing the film along with many of the details that are involved in the process. I have loved the work that I do and find myself at a time and place where I want to share my knowledge and experience with others - especially middle and high school kids - who have an interest in pursuing that same passion and love.

I graduated from the University of Southern California with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, and completed some graduate coursework at Loyola Marymount University in order to receive my teaching credential in Biological Sciences. I have experience both as a tutor, working with high school students in AP Chemistry, and a classroom teacher, working with middle school students in Life & Physical Sciences. I have a broad range of subjects that I am comfortable tutoring in, ranging from English and essay editing to Algebra and middle school math. But I am most passionate (and get most geeked out about) teaching science, especially topics in Biology and Life Science, because I love learning about how our living world works! My teaching philosophy revolves around students harnessing their strengths to become independent learners, and my job is to facilitate making those connections. Outside of education, I love spending time outdoors and doing yoga (a combination of both would be ideal!).

Hi! I am really excited to be a varsity tutor. My favorite subjects are probably Math and History. I dig anime and art. It's going to be really fun to work with you.I specialize in special education environments. I work as a tutor for foster youth in CUNY colleges currently and have also worked in high school as a resource specialist as well as in Montessori settings as well. I have worked with many students who are classified ELL/ESL. I also have about 15 years experience with all forms of learning disabilities, especially students with ADD/ADHD and Autism. I can work however with anyone who feels like they need something alternative to a traditional learning setting. Learning with me will be fun and productive.I am a phenomenal guide for boosting your scores on the ACT, SAT, PSAT, CHSPE, SSAT, ISEE, GRE, GED, CSET, and CBEST exams.
