Award-Winning Tutors from University of Central Florida

Reluctant student turned teacher and coach.When I was a senior in high school, I had loathed my language arts teacher, which motivated me to become a teacher myself in hopes of one day ridding the world of despicable teachers. Now, I work with secondary students in the classroom and on the field. I get excited when I see my students succeed. It is my life's purpose to help others be the best version of themselves.I love working with students of all different ability levels. My degrees are in language arts education and exceptional education. Also, I recently look my ACT as part of a requirement to receive a grant, so I have first hand knowledge of the requirements and test taking strategies needed to do well on the assessment.

I am proud to say since I was young I enjoyed math and helping others learn what I picked up quickly. I enjoy the 'ah-ha' moment I can give to students when they can grasp the content :)I am currently studying Information Technology in college and I hope to be a cloud architect in the future!

I have been a teacher in Florida for the past 9 years and enjoy working with diverse students and help them reach their full potential. As a tutor, I am committed to meeting the individual needs of my students with dedication and guide them to achieve academic excellence.

I am currently a Second Grade teacher at Palmetto Elementary School. I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Elementary Education. I began volunteering in various elementary schools around Orlando to help students harness their confidence and knowledge. The most rewarding part of tutoring a student is when I see their eyes light up and they understand the concept they have been struggling with. Throughout my tutoring and teaching experiences I have learned various ways to keep my students engaged and excited about learning. I have experience with Common Core and Singapore Math. Outside of teaching, I enjoy staying active by attending boot camps, running, and reading.

My name is Ryan Schuffert. I am currently a professor for the College of Biological Sciences at Valencia College in Orlando, FL. I have been a college professor for 5 years. My background consists of a mixture of medicine and athletics. I grew up as a multi-sport athlete playing football, running track, competing in Olympic weightlifting, and as a competitive cheerleader. I attended the University of Central Florida on a competitive cheerleading scholarship where I earned my bachelor's degree in Health Sciences Pre-Clinical track in 3 years. From there, I attended the Morsani College of Medicine in Tampa, FL where I earned my master's degree in Medical Sciences in 1 year while maintaining my student-athlete status as a competitive cheerleader. Then, I decided to take a step back from medicine and become a college professor. My wife and I now own 2 online companies in parallel to my career as a professor. I love giving back and helping students break-through their potential and I see a great opportunity to help students in many different subjects, all around the World, though Varsity Tutors.

I recently graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I have worked with children before who struggle to keep up with the pace of their classmates, particularly those who are on the spectrum. The subjects I tutor are the ones I am most passionate about: English, Literature, and Creative Writing. My favorite subject would have to be Creative Writing, as I have loved writing stories and poetry since I was a kid. I wholeheartedly believe that the most effective way to learn is to be taught by someone who loves what they do. The quality of a teacher can make or break the quality of the education. When I have free time, I enjoy reading, writing, playing video games, roller skating, and going to theme parks.

I am a graduate of the University of Central Florida, in which I received both my Bachelor of Science in English Education and my Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction. I have twenty-eight years of experience, both in and out of the classroom. I have tutored for test preparation and have assisted in preparing first-generation students to obtain entrance into top-tier colleges and universities. While I can tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and History. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, I am most talented in prepping for the Critical Reading portions of the exams. I myself am a first-generation college attendee and I love helping others find their academic place in society. In my spare time, I love to travel, read, and express myself in artistic exploration.

I am a graduate of the University of Central Florida. I hold a degree in Psychology as well as a minor in Social Sciences education.

Hello! My name is Angeles. I am a graduate of the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences and a Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences. Currently, I am seeking to enter the field of clinical research! As it is clear, my life and career revolved around my education, and most of my work has encompassed academia. From the time I was in middle school, I began tutoring my peers in small groups after-school. This was the start of path as a supplemental educator: classroom setting tutoring in high school, working at a tutoring center my senior year, and providing in-home private tutoring throughout college. I strongly believe in teaching each student specifically to their educational needs, but also tailored to their individual learning habits. I personally always find that I learn the most when the topic is related to my life outside of the classroom (or lecture hall). I then can assess how much I truly have attained when I attempt to teach the concept to another person. These are just a few things about me and my views of teaching. I look forward to where my journey may take me via this opportunity.

As a recent college graduate, I know firsthand the great value of education. I am passionate about helping students develop technical skills and problem-solving abilities.

Beyond my professional experience, I have a deep appreciation for education and mentoring. I have led children's Bible study groups, facilitated interactive learning sessions, and presented technical concepts in engaging ways. My goal as a tutor is to make complex topics approachable, whether it's coding, networking, or cybersecurity. I believe in a hands-on, practical approach to learning, where students build confidence through real-world applications and problem-solving exercises.

The human brain's primary way of dealing with the world is making connections. My job is to help you make connections that are giving you trouble. We will succeed. You will learn.

I am an independent learning consultant with undergraduate and graduate online and in-person teaching, course curriculum development, research, and presentations. I provide academic direction, instruction, editing, and proofreading support for subjects including writing and editing dissertations, doctoral projects, capstones, and master's theses; technical writing; digital marketing; and basic computer skills. Additionally, I have more than 25 years in government and corporate training arenas and online learning. My teaching philosophy is grounded in and built around my experiences as a student. I learned from both the good and bad teachers I had. I make a concerted effort to remember and implement the good techniques and qualities and avoid the bad techniques and qualities that hinder or block understanding, competency, and success. I recognize everyone learns and demonstrates what they have learned differently, and I consciously implement different teaching modalities to accommodate learning styles and evaluation. I look for learning problems students may be having, and work with them to overcome the problems so that they succeed. I recognize that age, culture, and life conditions (work, family, economics, environment) also influence how students learn. I consciously look for those influences and will work with students so that these influences do not become a barrier to students' learning experiences and successes. I also recognize that technology is a part of the learning experience and include it to facilitate access to course content, classmates (to support peer learning), and myself. I believe that teaching is not a 9 am-5 pm job, and I meet with students before or after classes, or online to provide the direction or support they need. My focus and goal are student success, and I believe this success will influence the rest of their days.

I am a graduate of the University of Central Florida. I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and my Master of Education in Elementary Education. In addition to completing a graduate degree this year, I served as an Elementary Teacher for Orange County Public Schools for 2.5 years, where I taught Kindergarten and Second Grade. I created lessons that engaged all learners by applying a variety of teaching methods and utilizing SMARTboard technology. I formed cooperative learning groups, organized individualized projects, created learning centers and implemented interventions. Alternative assessment methods, such as portfolios, rubrics and performance assessments, in combination with traditional tests, enabled me to evaluate the students individually and comprehensively. I communicated with parents and attended all parent/teacher conferences and professional development workshops that were held. Furthermore, I have been a substitute teacher for Orange County Public Schools, a German language teacher and dance instructor for Elementary school children. I have a passion to teach and love to work with children in creative ways. Being fluent in three languages, English, German and Russian, as well as have lived in four countries revealed my love for diversity.

I have recently graduated from the Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida with a Bachelors degree in Biomedical Sciences. This upcoming year I am going to the Institute of Human Nutrition at Columbia University to get an MS in Nutrition and Metabolism.I have been a tutor for college students for 2 years at my university, teaching Organic Chemistry 1 and General Chemistry. I've also helped high school students with college admission essays, and with kindergartners in the Junior Achievement program.I enjoy working with children and finding creative ways for them to learn the material and to try to inspire a desire to learn by making learning fun for them. I also really enjoy teaching general chemistry, because I find the material fascinating. When I tutor a student, I don't just give them the answers, but rather I guide them to the answers. It is important that a student learns how to find the answers themselves so they do not become dependent on outside sources.

I have been a teacher for 8 years after graduating from UCF with a Masters Degree in Elementary Education. My Bachelor's Degree of Science was obtained from Bowling Green State University before my move to Florida. I am passionate about teaching because I believe all students love to learn something new. I love to see the moment a skill or concept becomes "easy" after a time being a challenge. All students should have the opportunity to become independent learners and build their self-confidence, as they work to accomplish their goals. My role is to guide and support each student on their journey to discovery! I enjoy teaching all subjects, but my favorite is reading. Reading has the ability to open the world to a student, make them laugh, share experiences with character's and enjoy fantasies. When I am not teaching, I enjoy organic flower and vegetable gardening, spending time with my family and our multiple pets.
