My name is Sharon, and I have been an educator for over fifteen years. I am passionate about education. I enjoy using innovative techniques to incorporate skills that will be useful to my students. My goal is to enhance each student's learning and help them rise to a higher level.Some of my hobbies are cooking (I'm a foodie), reading, and going on nice walks or scenic drives.

I am a state certified music educator with 30 years of experience in the public-school setting. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Music Education-emphasis in Piano and Voice (Texas Southern University-Houston, TX), a Master of Liberal Arts (University of St. Thomas-Houston, TX) and a Master of Divinity (Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University-Dallas, TX).In addition to teaching general music, I have been a middle and high school choir director, a private piano and voice instructor and a church choir director and musician. During my time in all positions, I have created effective age-appropriate teaching tools and lessons based on state guidelines and employer expectations.I am highly motivated by my strong desire to create an exceptional musical experience for children and adults. In my approach to private instruction, I am always intersted in learning as much as possible about the intellectual needs, the personal motivation and the musical potential of my students. This knowledge allows me to create a specialized program for each student that will ensure success.While much of my time has been spent educating others and developing my musical skills and spiritual life, I have not been alone on this journey. I share space in Texas with my husband of 24 years, our two college-aged children and two very demanding felines.
I am currently an undergraduate student at Texas Southern University, pursuing a bachelor of science in Computer Engineering. I have worked as a tutor, mentor and student instructor since my first year of college and this has brought me in contact with different students, who i have been privileged to work with. I tutor mathematics majorly, more specifically anything from basic level math to college algebra. Math as a subject has always been one known to get the hearts of most students racing, and this problem begins right from the very basic level. However, my passion for this subject has led me to find easier and more effective ways of understanding mathematical concepts and i have ever since tried to share the same knowledge with as many students struggling as i possibly could. I also believe that the problem of the "idealized difficulty" of mathematics that most students have, has to be tackled early and this course encouraged me to become a math tutor, using every knowledge and skill i have acquired to help students overcome this fear of mathematics and also to help enhance their understanding of the subject. Asides tutoring, i am also a huge fitness enthusiast, a personal trainer and a dog lover.
Hey! I'm Noella here to give my best tools and tips to become a top succeeding student. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BS in Biology and chemistry minor from Texas Southern University's Honor's College. I have a proficient background in tutoring kids with Autism and other learning deficits. I'm a great tutor, simply, because I care and personally know the struggle to achieve academic success today! The best approach to learning is longevity and consistency, and that's what I try to teach, along with simplifying concepts in fun, interactive, and intuitive ways!
I began my academic journey at community college where I identified how important small class sizes and individualized attention in math and science was to my success in college. I then transferred to a large university in Southern California where I was challenged by large class sizes and no academic support. It was during that time that I had to seek out outside resources to pass my courses. Over the course of my education I had the experience of taking education courses as well as earning a Bachelor's degree in chemistry. Along side my chemistry knowledge, traveling and studying abroad in England and West Africa, I am most certain I want to become a professor in chemistry and train and develop the next generation of scientist that is relate-able and understanding for all backgrounds.
I, Faith Otieno received my Bachelors of Business Administration in Accounting from Texas Southern University in May 2012. I am currently pursuing a masters program in Business Administration at Texas Southern University. During my graduate school year, I held several positions as a tutor, teacher assistant, and mentor to students. I enjoy tutoring business courses especially accounting, finance and economics. My experience as a tutor has enabled me to assist students in understanding difficult concepts, and this has normally resulted in a positive feedback. I have a passion to assist people in achieving academic goals and objectives. I do believe that knowledge is a powerful asset, and it can be attained through excellence in academics! Moreover, I can also tutor mathematics and English subjects. My teaching philosophy is to explain the difficult concept, and illustrate using an example for the student. Moreover, I do urge students to develop a study timetable that would enable them to review class materials in advance of the class time.My interests outside of academia include engaging in outdoor activities (rock climbing,kayaking) , going to the movies (comedy/action/thriller), visiting scenery attractions, travelling to new places, following a few television series, and reading inspirational books.
I am a graduate of the University of Florida and the Thurgood Marshall School of Law Texas Southern University. As an undergraduate, I majored in History, focusing on African History, and in law school, I focused on legal writing and analysis.I value the importance of good quality education as I'm a living testimony of how it can open doors of incredible opportunity in life.Since graduation, I have worked as a legal professional covering multiple areas of law and as a public-school teacher. I decided to make the unusual transition from law to teaching because I felt called to make more of a meaningful impact on the lives of others. Sure enough, I discovered my gift and passion in education as I inspired and empowered students in the classroomencouraging them to become the best they could be despite their shortcomings in the past.My love for teaching revealed a whole new world and helped me to realize that I had always been an influential teacher in one form or another. For example, in high school, I commonly taught and tutored my peers who had a tough time digesting the information as delivered by the teacher. I discovered that I had a particular ability to make complicated concepts relatable and, therefore, easier to understand.I believe that a real teacher (one called to teach) fundamentally can teach anything. Therefore, I teach and tutor a wide range of subjects. However, I especially enjoy History, English, and the Social Sciences. Also, my legal education has significantly assisted in my ability to teach, among other types, persuasive writing, critical thinking, and reading comprehension.
As a native Houstonian, I am a proud product of the Houston Independent School District.Many of my best childhood memories occurred within the walls of Herod ElementarySchool, Sharpstown Middle School, and Lamar High School. I attended Texas SouthernUniversity's honors program majoring in Biology and am now a graduate student at theUniversity of Houston-Victoria studying Biomedical Science and Film. My mother, asmall-business owner/educator and my father, an electrical engineer instilled the value ofeducation in me at an early age. I learned a lot of my teaching style from them; patience,repetition, organization, and motivation to name a few. I began tutoring my cousins inmy youth who struggled with math, science, or english. In college, this continued as Itutored underclassmen in the biological sciences, organic chemistry, algebra, and writing.After graduation, I had a natural inclination to service students in the classroom as a highschool biology teacher for two years in HISD. Now, as I continue to pursue my academicendeavors in graduate school, I wish to be able to tutor and share my unique experienceswith our youth in hopes of enlightening their perspective of academia and life in general.I am fun loving, personable, and can relate to the younger generation through variouscommonalities; school, sports, music, social media and more. I look forward to meeting youand your child and taking his/her progress to the next level!
As a tutor, I am committed to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel confident asking questions and taking academic risks. I believe that every student has the ability to succeed when given the right tools, guidance, and encouragement. My role is not only to teach content, but also to build skills, strengthen confidence, and foster independence.
What makes me passionate about tutoring are the priceless "ah-ha" moments when a student, who once thought learning math was hopeless, realizes that anything is possible with a little concentration. Although content mastery is very important, there is nothing quite like the positive reinforcement of confidence building when trying to conquer a difficult task. I encourage my students to celebrate the small wins and use the momentum to steam roll the next obstacle. My goal is to remind my client that he/she can conquer anything with the right mindset, and, through the application of mathematics, we shift the mindset from doubtful to unstoppable.
A senior at Texas Southern University pursuing a Bachelors of Accounting. I've been tutoring since I was a freshman in high school. I've worked in childcare, tutored at an elementary school, and mentored a group of middle school students. Patience and honesty is my approach when teaching both younger and older children.
In the winter of 2004, I had the pleasure of earning my first degree from Texas Southern University. I received a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology. From there I entered the classroom and began my teaching career. I began working with at risk students at an alternative school for behavioral concerns. I noticed that many of the students there were smart but had behavioral characteristics that hindered their learning process. I started as a teacher aide but enjoyed it so much that I decided to become certified. I chose to receive my certification in grades 4-8 in all content areas. My personal belief is that these are those most critical times of a students educational career. My desire to want to become a counselor blossomed in those first four years. I made the decision in 2008 to work towards a Masters' degree in School Counseling. I attended University of Houston-Clear Lake and obtained my degree in 2012. During the road to my degrees, I had the pleasure of teaching middle school students in all content areas. Now that I have been a school counselor for the past fours years I have come to miss the classroom environment. There is so much joy in watching students learn something new and the excitement they present. The primary subjects that I tutor are English & Language Arts and middle school level Math. Essay writing would probably be considered my favorite subject since I consider myself a writer as well. Many students struggle with the subject because they are not sure what to say. My advice to students is always to follow your knowledge of the topic and let your mind flow freely. When working with students I try to get to know them as an individual so that learning can be tailored to their needs. There are no two brains that think alike and therefore should be taught using different methods at times. One of the largest components that becomes a hurdle in student learning is study skills or lack thereof. Before I start working with a student I always investigate their studying style. Based on the method they utilize I do my best to tweak the needed changes to maximize student learning. Whenever my time is not devoted to educating I love to listen to music and write poetry. I try to be a student of all genres of music because I believe songs tell the story of a person. My favorite sports are basketball and boxing although I find myself drawn to anything that has a competitive nature.
I am passionate about helping students reach their full potential because I enjoy helping people and I love to teach. I received a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Texas Southern University. I have helped people in over 30 states pass their MPJE and NAPLEX board exams. I like to work on content, study strategies, test taking strategies and how to read and understand questions (especially important for the MPJE). I have a conversational style and am very easy to get along with and can tailor our sessions for what you need.
Hi. My name is teacher Ben. I am from the United States of America. I work as an English teacher. I have more than ten (10) years of teaching experience. I love teaching English because I can help others improve their skills. It gives me joy and excitement meeting learners around the world.
I am a great tutor because I address the content differently than it is explained from the book, in school and online. I believe every student can learn and is capable of understanding the most complex material if it is taught in the way a student learns. I love raising animals, sports and reading.
With a passion for learning and helping others, I have spent years tutoring elementary students in subjects like math and reading, striving to make complex concepts accessible through patience and creativity. Graduating as valedictorian from law school and passing the bar exam taught me the importance of perseverance and clear communicationskills I apply when helping students break through learning barriers. My approach to tutoring is centered on fostering understanding and confidence, making learning an engaging and empowering experience for every student.

An Alumna of the University of Maryland University College and Texas Southern University, I have a BA in Communications and a Masters Degree in Business Administration (MBA). Tutoring for me, brings new perspectives, knowledge, and infinite problem solving possibilities together. I enjoy meeting new students and learning more about my current ones.

I have my B.S. in Exercise Science & Fitness Management and my M.S. in Human Performance. I have 15+ plus years in the Health, Wellness and Physical Rehabilitation profession. I have successfully tutored, mentored and trained over 50+ personal trainers and wellness coaches in the areas of certification prep, working with clients with physical limitations and business marketing development to help them acquire more clients.Overall, I LOVE the health and wellness profession as I am now at a stage in my career and life where it brings me absolute joy to share my knowledge, expertise and passion with others in the profession that are new, fairly new and eager to work in this awesome profession.Due to that passion and just with my perspective on life, I have high energy at times. So don't be surprised if I start to cheer or say "whooohoooo" or "let's goooo" when you get a correct answer or master a certain concept. I love to celebrate people's "wins".One of my favorite quotes is "The greatest wealth is health" by Virgil (A Roman Poet)
As a 5 year tutor at varsity tutor, I enjoy working and providing quality tutoring for 5 years now!
I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Texas Southern University in Psychology, and am presently working on my Master’s degree in School Counseling at Capella University. I tutor students in Math from the elementary level through Algebra 1. I enjoy tutoring in math because it is often a subject that students dislike, and through working with them I have been able to help many appreciate that math is needed every day, and is not as daunting as it seems.When I was in school, I didn’t know how to ask for help when I was having trouble understanding the information we were learning. I still managed to earn high grades every year, but there were several moments of self-doubt and fear of being perceived as incompetent for asking for help. As I began tutoring during my undergraduate studies, I realized that those negative thoughts were silly and there is no shame in seeking help when you don’t have the answers. When I work with students, I do my best to build their confidence in the subject area through practice and positive affirmations, and encourage them to ask any questions they may have. I never want my students to feel like they cannot or should not ask for help when they need it most.
I always keep in mind these important rules to approach my professional goals:1- Develop my skills: My education doesn't stop after I cross that stage and graduate. I am willing to take the extra step to keep learning what it takes to be a brilliant in my field.2- Take responsibility: Take responsibility for my actions and current situations in life. There's no one else to hold accountable for my life other than myself.3- Staying productive: The only way I am going to accomplish my goals and reach success is when I stay productive. Fill my time with productive and positive activities that will help me accomplish my goals.4- Impacting is another way to describe my future vision, making an impact wherever I go, whatever I do, and making a better difference.Tutoring would provide me a lot of tools in terms of theories, network, and also will provide a personal development enhancing my leadership skills and management level vision. It will help me become an entrepreneur and run a very successful yet professional live. It will help me sharpen other skills that I am not exposed to in daily life. It will also prepare me with the economic reality we live in today.Looking forward to help others achieve their goals through me :)

I am a committed tutor and a current student pursuing double majors in Computer Science and Biology. My passion for teaching comes from a strong desire to help students realize their potential, build confidence, and reach their academic goals. In addition to my academic background, I bring a unique perspective as someone with dyslexia and a language-comprehension disorder. These experiences have shaped the way I learnand the way I teach. Because I've had to develop personalized tools, strategies, and problem-solving methods to effectively process information, I deeply understand how important it is to meet students where they are. This insight allows me to create supportive, adaptable learning experiences for students who also struggle with comprehension, focus, or traditional learning methods. I have experience working with learners from a variety of backgrounds and skill levels, and I tailor my approach to fit each student's unique needs and learning style. Through my academic journey, I've built a strong foundation across Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science. While I enjoy helping students in all of these areas, I am especially passionate about Biology and Computer Sciencefields that beautifully combine theory, creativity, and practical problem-solving. Sharing that intersection with my students is one of my favorite parts of tutoring. My tutoring philosophy centers on patience, encouragement, and flexibility. I strive to create an engaging environment where students feel confident asking questions and exploring new ideas at their own pace. By using real-world examples, structured thinking strategies, and interactive learning methods, I aim to make challenging topics more approachable, relevant, and easier to understand. My goal is always to empower students not just to learn the material, but to find strategies that work for themjust as I have learned to do for myself.

I bring a unique blend of academic excellence and professional expertise to tutoring, with three advanced degrees, a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering (graduating magna cum laude and third in my class), a Master's in Computer Science specializing in Cognitive Artificial Intelligence, and an MBA in Finance with a focus on investment analysis. My academic journey began with tutoring my younger siblings in Math and Science, which grew into leading study groups of up to 50 students across grades 612. Over time, I expanded my teaching to college-level Physics, Mathematics, and Applied Mechanics, helping students connect complex theories to real-world applications. Throughout graduate school, I served as a teaching and research assistant, tutoring freshmen and sophomores in core subjects such as Algebra, Calculus, Statistics, and Physics. My teaching philosophy is rooted in Educational Essentialism, a structured, progressive approach that equips students to master increasingly difficult concepts while preparing them for higher academic and intellectual challenges. Recognized for academic excellence, including receiving the CITGO Graduate Student Award, I emphasize critical thinking and problem-solving skills that extend beyond the classroom. In addition to academic tutoring, I bring more than 20 years of professional experience in finance, engineering, and data-driven problem solving. I am proficient in QuickBooks, financial modeling, and exam preparation for competitive assessments such as the SAT, ACT, GRE, SHSAT, and FINRA licensing exams (SIE, Series 7, and Series 79). Whether guiding a high school student through Calculus or helping a professional prepare for a finance certification, I create a personalized, engaging learning environment where students build confidence and achieve measurable results.
I have a Master degree in Business Administration from Texas Southern University. I also have more than five years of experience in Tutoring Moths and French respectively from overseas, France, Senegal and in the United States at Houston Independent School District. I love tutoring French, my general education was in French (Elementary, Middle school in France}. My tutoring experience in Moths was amazing, my students made tremendous results after their first month. My teaching philosophy essentially consist of teaching and re-teaching. So consistency is one of my strategy used, combined with regular quizzes to evaluate the student's knowledge. I love to go to the movies on my free time.
As an advocate for all students it is imperative that I deliver an instructional virtual platform which is meaningful, engaging, supportive strategies which are conducive regarding high level required standards and learning materials which will advance students academically, socially and emotionally towards becoming life-long learners in a highly technological diversified society in the 21st century while implementing SEL which enhances a child's human development (e.g. social emotional learning) with 90% accuracy.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and graduate of Baylor University (MSW) and Texas Southern University (BSW). I received my Master's in Social Work with a specialization in physical and mental health and a concentration in Immigration Policy. Since graduation, I have worked with the following populations: Immigrant and refugee families, children and adolescents in school and hospital settings, survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, and adults in an acute psychiatric setting.I first began tutoring during my Master's (MSW) program at Baylor University. Nearing the end of the last semester, I decided to start an LMSW study group to support my fellow colleagues to better prepare ourselves for the LMSW exam. Some of the topics discussed in tutoring were focused on social work theories, individuals, couples, families, organizations, and communities. I provided insight on abuse and neglect, ethics, human behavior, intervention strategies with clients, and much more. Through this experience, I extended my tutoring group to several others who were interested... Many of which have become licensed like me! This motivated me to share my style of tutoring with any MSW interested in passing the LMSW exam.Outside of tutoring, I enjoy cooking, swimming, hiking, and walking my dogs! I am looking forward to working alongside you and helping achieve your ultimate goal of passing the LMSW exam!
