Hello Parents and Amazing Students,My name is Teacher Heny and I'm super excited to teach your child! I'm focused on connecting with him or her fulfilling their individual needs. I have 2 children, ages 11 and 8. I have volunteered in their classrooms for the past 5 years. I have read children's storybooks to the class and helped the kids with arts and crafts and projects. I love it and I'm happiest with kids! I feel a sense of accomplishment when I see the light in their eyes and make them happy. I love to color, draw, read poetry, and even learn about the weather patterns! I would love to teach students these various topics, but best of all, I enjoy tutoring English. I love teaching elementary school topics and seeing children progress when they're very young. It provides a sense of accomplishment. As a child, I used to use my favorite reading books to trace their covers such as The Berenstain Bears. I started in elementary school as early as age 8, and still enjoy drawing very much. For the past year, I have been teaching Language Arts, Reading Comprehension, Grammar, and Writing online and I would love to continue teaching it on Varsity Tutors. In middle school, I loved learning about America's states and capitals. At a young age, I also have written poetry just for fun. I would love to show children their hidden talents through writing and expressing their thoughts. Great teachers are patient, friendly, challenging, and make sure the kids are having fun! I love working with kids and watching them grow as students! As a parent, I strive to do what is best for my children. I hope to do the same for yours and look forward to working with you! Hope to see you in class soon!EXPERIENCEFor the past 2 years, I have been teaching ESL online to children ages 3-12 on the VIPKid, QKids, and Outschool platforms. Those lessons include phonics, math, free talk, science, sight words, sentence patterns, and grammar. I have the International Open Academy's 120 hour TESOL Certificate, as well as the 120 hour TEFL Fullcircle Certificate. I also have a Bachelor's Degree in Healthcare Management and Education from Thomas Edison State College in New Jersey, USA, and a license to practice Nuclear Medicine Technology from the Univ of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ.

BA Thomas Edison State College • Current Grad Student, Math The University of West Florida
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a former high schools physics teacher and current graduate student in mathematics.I've had experience tutoring math subjects since my undergraduate days-- in a distant epoch-- and was lucky enough to teach the first AP Physics course at a high school in Florida.I believe that my approach to teaching mathematics and physics was borne out of an initial dislike and fear of the subject in middle school. Far from the 'arm-raised-straight-up' type, I was perfectly comfortable dreading being called on and relying on assured knowledge that I'd never needing such useless facts again.However, a curveball was thrown my way after reaching the 10th grade where I uncovered a nascent interest in physics. After reading A Brief History of Time and realizing that math and physics were so inextricably linked, I decided that I wanted to learn more about the field that Gauss called, "the queen of the sciences."I believe that if I an learn it, my students can learn it. It may be hackneyed, but I really do believe in the old adage that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. In my experience, what often seems to the student a lack of ability to understand math or physics conceptually stems from easily taught (but not easily practiced) study skills.

Positive life changes begin in the mind - a grateful mind.Optimism, perseverance, focus and determination to achieve a set goal all have one common denominator--ATTITUDE. Your attitude determines your altitude and ability to achieve great success in all that you do.For the past 25+ years I have been (and still are) an actively practicing Accountant. I am currently the Director of Accounting at a firm and an Outsourced CFO for four of our clients. I have degrees in both Accounting and Business Administration. Within the industry I have had the opportunity to not only work hands on with a variety of clients but also to mentor, instruct business and accounting coursework, software and life skills training through conferences and group sessions to some of the most prestigious entrepreneurs and company teams ever in existence:).I am a lifetime learner! A lover of all things that challenge my brain, and push me to be a more productive person with each day that I am privileged to have.Through Varsity Tutors I have over 15 subjects that I am willing to tutor to help students young and young at heart accomplish their learning objectives.The greatest thing I've found about providing tutoring or training sessions over the years is that though I am leading a session, I am able to seize many opportunities to expand my own knowledge every day to learn something new - be it large or small! That is one of the things a 'lifetime learner' does they never say that they know everything because they are still open to learning more things!My online tutoring sessions are very interactive. I will not lecture you or be insensitive to any challenges you may face - we will work them out together. We will laugh, chat, absorb the information then explore ways to help you understand your subject matter in the most simplistic form. I look forward to the opportunity of assisting you.

When I was a child, I found and read the book series The Story of the World by Susan Wise Bauer. I positively loved the series and it inspired my love and interest of history. This has continued with me into adulthood and influenced my decision to pursue a bachelors degree in history. However, prior to college, I was homeschooled through high school which allowed me to be flexible and self-motivated in learning. After high school, I went on to study at a college level, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in History from Thomas Edison State University. I received many of my college credits from taking CLEP and DSST tests allowing me to graduate with a degree by the time I was eighteen. For completing my degree in this way, I received the Arnold Fletcher Award, an award for students with exceptional achievement in nontraditional learning.While studying at Thomas Edison I also had the opportunity and privilege to help coach a speech and debate group for a year, helping students improve on their speaking abilities. I also later worked as a chess instructor helping the students learn about the fundamentals of chess. Currently, I work as a substitute teacher at a private school. For the past several years I have also worked as a bookkeeper and I currently working in the finance office at a school. So, I am equipped to help students with finance and with computer application. With whatever I teach though, I believe that I should not instruct just for the purpose of people of obtaining knowledge so they can pass a test. I want knowledge that I give them to be used as wisdom for how they live life; applied knowledge. So, I hope that I have the opportunity to serve students through tutoring and help equip them for school and for life.

I love tutoring because I try to supply some of that same illumination for my students. My favorite sciences are chemistry and astronomy.My tutoring style is relaxed but focused. I help students prepare a plan to achieve their academic goals, whether it be the SAT, a homework assignment or the next big test. I pride myself on my professionalism and subject matter knowledge. A typical tutoring session includes a planning portion, we will schedule out your study plan with and without me. I will offer lectures or explanations on the core concepts to help you understand why you are learning any one skill. We will spend the majority of the time working problems. You will leave each session with a multitude of carefully explained examples to help you study further on your own. I am easy to talk to and I will take the time to understand how you approach problems. Sometimes we will need to rewire your approach and I can help with that.Outside of my tutoring assignments I work full time as a pharmaceutical chemist.

During my time as an active-duty service member in the United States Navy, I had the great pleasure of working as a mass communication specialist and telling the Navy’s story to a worldwide audience. I served as a primary journalism and public affairs instructor at the Defense Information School (2011-2014) where I had the unique opportunity of teaching service members of all branches of service the fundamentals of military journalism and public affairs. Through extensive lesson plan development, classroom engagement and a passion for setting others up for success, my students were able to graduate and become the future of military communicators. I highly enjoy tutoring in the subjects of writing, English, journalism and speech. Possessing the ability to communicate an effective message to a variety of audiences is a skill I pride myself in. I feel every student has a unique learning style and it’s important to ensure a plan of study is developed based on techniques that are curtailed for each individual student in order to ensure their success. I’m very passionate about teaching, tutoring and coaching students to achieve their goals academically and broadening their skill-sets. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students.
