I've been an elementary school teacher for more 20 years and was honored as the 2021-2022 Teacher of the Year in my school. I tutor elementary math and reading. I particularly enjoy helping students strengthen their math skills, and their reading fluency and comprehension. I earned my Master's degree in Teaching from Montclair State University and later became a certified Dyslexia Specialist through Fairleigh Dickinson University. I believe in meeting students where they are, building their confidence, and making learning engaging and approachable. What sets me apart is my ability to connect with students on both an academic and personal level. I strive to find a personal connection with each student. When students trust their tutor, learning becomes easier and more meaningful.

I am a retired teacher who has a love for working with students. I consider my ability to be able to take complicated information and make it user friendly.

Hi! I'm a freshman at Syracuse University, majoring in History and Political Science (both with concentrations in America) and minoring in Psychology. I have plans to attend law school once I graduate to study civil rights litigation. Someday I even hope to run for political office!I'm quite the busy bee, and I love it! I thoroughly enjoy having a jam packed schedule, it helps me manage my time better. On campus I'm on the executive board for the Syracuse Animal Rights Organization. Activism was always something I dabbled in, but being apart of this club has really helped me grow as not only an activist, but as a person. I'm also a DJ at two radio stations on campus (you should DEFINITELY tune in) and I'm apart of the Advocacy Committee for Syracuse University's branch of UNICEF. Next semester I'll be doing all of that AND picking up a local political office internship as well as hopefully assisting with psychology research with one of my professors! I have such diverse interests that we're practically bound to have something in common! In my little free time I can be found binge watching The Office and Parks and Rec on Netflix and drinking as much coffee and tea as humanly possible.I have big aspirations and I'm constantly striving to make them a reality, but I also really love helping people. In fact, it's one of my favorite things to do. I try my best to do it as much a possible through volunteer work and tutoring. I used to tutor when I was in high school to fellow students in algebra, statistics, english, and history. When your student finally gets it, and they have that "eureka!" expression on their face, it truly makes it all worth while.As you can probably tell I'm a pretty friendly, quirky, and open person, and if I do say so myself I think we'd be a great fit as tutor and tutoree!

I have so many life and work experiences that I can't wait to share with learners young and old. I'm able to create unique, fun, and exciting learning experiences for all ages. My passion for reading, writing and the English language make me want to share my gift with others. I'd love to help you become an excellent writer and master of language.

I am Lindsay. I am an avid lover of language, literature, writing, learning, artistic endeavors, athleticism, nutrition, and enhancement of the mind through those pursuits. That being said, I’d like to share my passion and enthusiasm for learning with you.I have been a teacher for 6 years. My teaching experiences are as follows:- middle school children English in the United States as a classroom assistant- middle school children English in Mexico as a lead teacher- American and international university age students Spanish as a part time instructor- high school age students Spanish as a high school teacher- international adults English at a non-profit center in Syracuse, as a student-teacher- kids yoga classes as the lead teacher- adult hatha yoga classes, asana, pranayama, meditation as the lead teacher- high school girls volleyball,basketball and track coachMy idea when I am teaching is that I am a facilitator. That means that you know how to do everything, you just don’t know that you know. My job is to show you that you have everything you need to do it yourself. Therefore, I ask questions to guide you, and in time you will see that you do indeed possess the necessary mental forces to complete the tasks before you of your own accord!When dealing with language, I use the communicative language approach, and focus on instilling a student-centered learning environment. I both create and ask the student to take part in creating course materials and shaping course content to foster interest in both learning and participating in their personal learning progress. I attempt to create an environment where a student feels no fear to ask questions, and is able to verbalize and communicate, and also is able to travel outside the classroom and use what we’ve learned in authentic contexts. I closely monitor student progress, and also am more than open to emailing and meeting at the student’s convenience.As far as my personality goes, I am a very caring, silly, open-minded individual. I genuinely am concerned for the welfare of those around me, which is why I am a yoga instructor. I also love academic pursuits, which is why I hope to be a tutor for who ever needs assistance.

My name is Monique Witter, and I am a graduate of both the Syracuse University School of Education and the Syracuse University College of Law, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Health and Exercise Science and my Juris Doctor. While in undergrad, I pursued a pre-physical therapy track before transitioning into the legal field. Since graduating from law school, I have successfully passed both the New York and California State Bar Exams. I am especially passionate about supporting students through the college and graduate school admissions process it's one of the most rewarding parts of my work. My connection to Varsity Tutors is personal and meaningful: as a student, I was tutored by a Varsity Tutor who remains a mentor and close friend to this day. That experience continues to inspire the work I do with students today.

With more than ten years teaching university, graduate and undergraduate students, I am accomplished academic, researcher, and mentor of academics and researchers. I have also trained students in preparation for university, both English testing and humanities. I hold a BA in History and in Philosophy from Spring Arbor University (MI), including studying abroad at Oxford University (UK). I hold an MA in Linguistics with a concentration on Language Teaching from Syracuse University (NY). I am working on a PhD from the Ohio State University (OH) in Foreign, Second, and Multilingual Language Education. In particular, I teach and mentor writers, and am experienced with everything from test preparation to dissertations and publications. Much of my teaching experience was in China, and I greatly enjoy the opportunity tutoring allows for me to work with learners of diverse backgrounds.

I am currently a first year medical student at the University at Buffalo Jacob's School of Medicine. I graduated Syracuse University last year with a dual degree in Biochemistry and Neuroscience. I played hockey for the Orange, and have aspirations to become a neurosurgeon. Feel free to contact me with any questions, or tutoring needs!

I enjoy working with students. Every student is different. Understanding their motivations and their goals helps us to focus and develop weaknesses into strengths. I feel pride when students who felt that they were unsuccessful at a topic blossom into confidence when they have mastered it.

My name is Kara and I received my M.S. in Physiology and Biophysics from Georgetown University and my M.D. from New York Medical College. I enjoy helping students out with most science topics, from high school Biology courses to preparing for the ACT, SAT, or MCAT. This includes Biology, Psychology, Anatomy, Physiology, and more. I work with students to develop effective study methods that work best for the ways in which they learn. The key is to not only learn information, but to retain it. I also enjoy working with young students who may need help with reading, writing, science, and pre-algebra. My tutoring sessions will give students the practice and understanding needed to excel in their coursework. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing tennis, cooking, catching up on new TV shows, and spending time with my family!

I am an experienced NYC and Chicago Public Schools Social Studies teacher. I am also currently teaching math. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Social Studies Education and History from Syracuse University summa cum laude and completed my Master's in Social Sciences at the University of Chicago. I hold Illinois and New York State teaching licenses in Social Science (Grades 5-12), with endorsements in History, Economics, Political Science, Psychology, Geography, Sociology, and Anthropology. During my time at the University of Chicago, I worked as a tutor in the Office of Special Programs for High School Students, where I supported students in AP English preparation, essay writing, and social studies coursework. This experience strengthened my ability to help students develop critical thinking, analytical writing, and effective study skills. I am passionate about helping students build confidence and reach their academic goals through personalized, one-on-one support. In my tutoring sessions, I focus on identifying each student's individual strengths and areas for growth in order to create targeted strategies that improve understanding, organization, and study habits. I work closely with students to strengthen reading comprehension, writing, critical thinking, and test-taking skills while making learning engaging and approachable. My experience working with diverse learners allows me to adapt lessons to different learning styles, academic needs, and language backgrounds so that every student feels supported and capable of success.

I appreciate the opportunity to share what I've learned with others, to help them succeed. I am a retired civil service employee with extensive experience in defense planning and budget. My interests and hobbies include investments, and strategy games.

I obtained my Master's of Science in Microelectronics Photonics from the University of Arkansas and my Bachelor's of Science in Chemical Engineering from Syracuse University. During my Master's studies, I worked as a chemistry teaching assistant and discovered my passion for STEM education. I continued to work with students after my teaching requirement ended by becoming a chemistry tutor and research mentor. I am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Materials Science and Engineering, where I balance my desire to modernize water treatment systems with my love of inspiring students to pursue careers in STEM. My tutoring style emphasizes the learning process as much as the technical content to form a foundation for lifelong learning and problem solving. Together, we will logically break down complex problems into smaller, more manageable pieces. I specialize in introductory university-level Chemistry and Math courses, including AP Chemistry and Calculus. When I'm not tutoring, you will find me cooking a new recipe, hiking in the Ozark Mountains, or cheering loudly for my favorite basketball teams.

Hello. I am a Spanish professor with Austin Community College. I've taught Spanish at the middle school through college level for the last 15 years and I have plenty of tutoring experience.Having learned Spanish as a second language I understand a student's struggle learning the language. Students have told me I am patient and calm as a teacher. Since I have taught young people and older students I feel I have a good understanding of how to present a given concept to a specific student. I am well aware that some younger learners struggle with attention span. For this reason I use fun activities and age appropriate materials. In the past I have tutored businessmen and women who had specific goals for a trip to a Spanish speaking country. I feel comfortable teaching both adults and children. As far as materials I have plenty to offer. I designed my own language learning website that covers the grammar learned in Spanish I and II.I look forward to working with anyone who needs help with Spanish. I am punctual and professional while still keeping a relaxed attitude with my students. If you are looking for a teacher with those qualities I'd love to work with you.

This comes after graduating from North Hunterdon High School with a 3.8 GPA and a 2140 composite SAT score. My best subject on the SAT was math, although I also scored highly on both the reading comprehension and writing sections. I also took the LSAT this year, scoring a 168 (96th percentile), which I actually found frustrating because it was lower than every single one of my practice tests (with my personal best being a 174).

I am passionate to help students of all types and situations, to be more successful in a challenging topic like chemistry to accomplish their aspirational goals. Too many students are not given a proper opportunity by not having an instructor who is interested in them and wants the best for them.I have a Bachelor's (BS) in Biochemistry, and a Masters' (M.S.) and Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Chemistry. I have been teaching and tutoring for almost 20 years as an undergraduate student, graduate student, and now a full-time chemistry instructor and have tutored and taught High School students, University-level students, Community College students, military, returning adult learners, you name it, I've probably have taught it.I most enjoy General, Organic, and Biochemistry topics. I teach in a "I do, We do, You do" philosophy where we work through a problem together and then you attempt it. Chemistry, as most math and science courses, is best learned by doing rather than watching and having a professor tell you instead of discussing it with you.

Since 1992, it has been my pleasure to cultivate the minds of Americas youth. As an Alum of Teach for America, I am committed wholeheartedly to shrink the achievement gap to a minuscule number. Most of the youngsters who become behavioral challenges in our classrooms are those who have acute literacy deficiencies. Before his untimely death, I supported celebrity national literacy spokesman Issac Hayes efforts to make America 100% literate. Over the years I have worked in urban public schools with pupils who were underachievers drawn by the lures of the streets. These youths in particular led me to complete a masters degree in Business Administration.For a number of years I have been an entrepreneur, so I know firsthand what it takes to succeed in the marketplace. To that end I have developed career awareness and entrepreneurship programs for my pupils. The key to a thriving financial sector which supports our schools and neighborhoods is the cadre of educators we identify to shape future leaders. Mentoring leaders and teaching business education through my company www.ItzBiz.biz, I am confident that I would be able to translate those skills to helping Varsity accomplish their goal of being the premiere tutoring platform in the industry. Having taught students in California, New York, and Atlanta, I have a coast to coast prospective of what it takes to help youths excel. The opportunity to use my plethora of skills with Varsity Tutors is welcomed.

I am a recent graduate of University of Michigan - Ann Arbor's Master's of Science program, where I studied Aerospace Engineering. I have three years of college level tutoring experience from my time as an Academic Excellence Workshop (AEW) Facilitator during my undergraduate career at Syracuse University. As an AEW facilitator I was responsible for leading a group of students (6-8 similar to a small recitation session) to master course material, while helping them develop their problem solving, interpersonal, organizational, and leadership skills. I often met with professors to discuss student progress and prepare tutoring session material. Furthermore, I held weekly office hours and lead review sessions throughout the semester to help students with upcoming tests. Courses I have tutored in range from Calculus and Physics to early Engineering courses such as Statics and Dynamics. In addition to my tutoring experience, I am capable of helping student with computer programming languages including Matlab and Python. I enjoy seeing students learn and grow and challenging them to overcome problems they initially considered difficult. On my free time, I enjoy listening to music, watching movies and podcasts, or playing soccer with friends. In addition, I am fluent in Spanish, and a beginner in French.

I strive to build a rapport with my students. Each student has their own style of learning. All students can succeed over time given the proper tools. I have a B.S in Elementary Education Inclusive Special Education from Syracuse University. I received my masters degree in education from the University of New England. I also have an Ed.S. in Early Childhood Education and will be receiving my doctorate in Early Childhood Education in 2026.

My tutoring approach is based on the following principles: Bloom's Taxonomy: I believe this is the best model for helping learners transition from a subject's basic concepts to subject mastery Accessibility: All learners deserve the same access to knowledge. Learning should not be limited by time, specialized needs, or learning and expression preferences. The Whole Learner: Each learner's interests, ambitions, and personality are not separate from learning but an essential part of it.

Hello! I'm a patient, supportive K-8 tutor for reading, writing/grammar, and math. I also teach essay writing and reading comprehension for high-schoolers. I'm a new tutor on Varsity, but I've tutored for 5+ years at Central NY organizations and have worked as a summer teacher and after-school counselor. I'm certified in Early Childhood Education and Training Programs through the University at Albany's Professional Development Program. In our first session, I quickly identify what feels confusing, then we build a clear, step-by-step plan. I break skills into smaller parts, utilize examples, and practice together, always with positive, confidence-building feedback. Whether the student needs homework support, catching up on foundations, or extra challenge, I tailor sessions to their goals and learning style so progress feels doable. I'm looking forward to working with you!
