I have a PhD in special education and am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst with experience across home, clinic, and school-based settings. I began my career as a special education teacher, working directly with students with significant support needs and collaborating closely with families and multidisciplinary teams, which continues to shape my approach to teaching, supervision, and consultation. My expertise is supporting individuals with high support needs through applied behavior analysis, with a strong focus on meaningful communication, functional skills, and inclusive, socially valid practices. I have provided direct services and consultation in home and clinic environments and partnered with schools to design, implement, and evaluate behavior-analytic supports that are practical and sustainable in real-world settings. I am especially passionate about educating and mentoring future practitioners and enjoy breaking down complex ABA and special education concepts, connecting theory to practice, and supporting students as they build confidence and clinical competence.

I love when the information clicks with a student and they finally understand a concept.

My goal is to help educate the bright minds of our future leaders. I attended college at the University of NC Charlotte and obtained a BSBA in Human Resource Management. I have been educating in the form of homeschooling my own children and tutoring others since 2009. I have taught all subjects across all grade levels, but my favorite is elementary subjects. I love that age because it is the foundation for all learning. What and how they learn in those formative years will impact their ability to absorb information in high school, college, in the work force and beyond.I teach based on each individual students learning style. We, as humans, are not all the same so we don't all learn the same. I've found that most students benefit most from a more hands on approach to learning so I try to incorporate that into lessons whenever I can.Outside of teaching, my favorite things to do are curling up with a good book or spending some time in the pool. I used to swim competitively in middle and high school and, even now, the pool is the best place for me to workout or relax and unwind. I look forward to working with you and your children.

I have a B.A. in Chemistry and Philosophy from UNCC; confusing combination, I know. I've also completed two years of post baccalaureate work in graduate level Biology. I aim to go to medical school and will be taking the MCAT in June. Needless to say, I'm a huge science fanatic and would love to share both my passion and knowledge with you.

I am passionate about making sure that individuals who have the calling to be a nurse can become a nurse.My nursing education includes graduation from a hospital-based school of nursing and a Master's Degree in Nursing Education from the University of North Carolina - Charlotte. I have a total of almost 30 years of practice and educating nurses on all levels (CNAs to hospital staff) in a variety of settings. I enjoy working with non-traditional adult students who are changing careers and may need that extra attention to get them to their destination.I respect that each learner learns differently, and try to help learners discover their unique learning style. I try to incorporate test-taking strategies whenever I am teaching.The NCLEX (RN and PN) is about deeply understanding the subject matter and being able to apply in in theoretical, real-life situations. This not only requires memorized facts, but includes critical thinking to make evidenced-based care choices.

Hi! My name is Jordan Roberts, and I am a current Masters student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have a strong track record of college advising, teaching/classroom management, and essay coaching experience from my past work with local college access-focused nonprofits like Carolina College Advising Corps and Road to Hire. I am well-versed in meeting students from a variety of backgrounds where they are, fueled by my strong passion for college access. I have assisted over 350 students in crafting narratives that highlight their unique personal strengths, experiences, and perspectives. My approach centers on helping students engage their skills in reflection and meaning making to channel their authentic voice through the written word.

I am a graduate of the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History and Secondary Education. I am also a graduate of the University of Phoenix, where I received my Master of Arts degree in Curriculum and Instruction. Upon graduating, I embarked on an educational journey that has allowed me teach a wide variety of subjects over the past 22 years. I have tutored numerous students in the fields of Social Studies, English-Language Arts, and in SAT test preparation sessions, for the reading component of the exam. I have always enjoyed working with my students in both a traditional classroom, and online setting, and I have always strived to incorporate elements of my students' personal likes and hobbies into the elements of my instructional design, to help make learning more engaging and efficient. I am a firm believer in the power of education, as I see it as a means for helping us shape our future in an effort to make our society better. I coached varsity football for 26 years, and still coach Freshman girls basketball, and in my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, working out, and watching sports.

I was born in Colombia and moved to the United States at a young age where I grew up in a Spanish-speaking household. I attended Spanish classes every Saturday to master my grammar, orthography, and pronunciation. By the time I got to high school, I had learned virtually all I could, so I took four semesters of French instead.I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with University Honors, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in French, German, and International Studies. As an undergraduate student, I spent two semesters abroad-- one in Lyon, France and one in Berlin, Germany, where I developed my language competencies.Upon return, I was accepted into an Early Entry graduate program, which I completed in Translating in Spanish, French, and German.During my graduate studies, I was recruited as a bilingual data consultant for Wells Fargo, where I contribute Spanish translation, guidance, and quality control to develop artificial intelligence through natural language processing.On the side, I also work as a Spanish interpreter for two regional language service agencies, facilitating communication between Spanish speakers and medical providers, community staff, and law enforcement officials to ensure mutual understanding, cultural sensitivity, and confidentiality.You'll notice the subjects I tutor are primarily foreign language related, since those are my areas of expertise in terms of education, experience, and passion.Prior to joining Varsity Tutors, I tutored children ages 3-5 to develop basic French vocabulary and sentence structure.I believe all students have natural gifts and aptitudes as well as curiosity. As a tutor, I feel it is my duty to help them identify their natural talents and nurture their love of learning, so that they learn the joy of it instead of viewing it as a chore.In my spare time, I enjoy a variety of leisure activities, like reading, playing sports, and traveling.

My teaching philosophy is centered on patience, encouragement, and adapting to each student's learning style. I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. As a tutor, I focus on building confidence while breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps. I strive to create an engaging and supportive environment where students actively participate in the learning process rather than simply memorizing information.

I am a person who is very passionate about anatomy and physiology 1 and 2. I have been tutoring this subject for 3 semesters now at UNC Charlotte and enjoy seeing my students really understand the material. Anatomy and physiology is definitely a hard class so I will be there to help my students succeed in this difficult subject.

Working with students is something that is truly so rewarding to me. I look forward to doing it for a career, but until then, I am eager to get every chance I can to work with students as much as possible! I am a junior student at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in the college of education working towards my B.A. in Elementary Education (K-6). I have gained an incredible amount of experience working with elementary students while studying in this program as weekly I visit elementary schools and work closely with a mentor teacher as well as the students. My tutoring experience comes from being in school as well, as the college of education partnered with HEART tutoring, which allowed me to tutor a second and fourth grader in math once a week this past semester. With that being said, I have more experience tutoring elementary math, however I have completed K-2 coursework for reading/writing as well. Math is probably my favorite subject to tutor just because I love to hear students explain their reasoning when solving a problem and seeing them reach the correct solution is pure joy. Outside of academia, I love to read, workout, paint, and play with my cat (his name is Dash)!

I graduated from the University of North Carolina Wilmington with a degree in mathematics and am current pursuing a masters degree in secondary education at the University of North Carolina Charlotte.

I have 3 years of experience tutoring a wide array of math topics such as algebra, calculus, and geometry. In addition to that, I have three years of teaching experience in all high school math topics including AP calculus AB. Working with people and math are two of my favorite things and I am truly passionate about what I do!

I am a junior at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science with a concentration in Software Engineering and a minor in Mathematics. My passion for education and technology has driven me to share my knowledge and help students unlock their potential, especially in subjects like web development, Java programming, and foundational coding concepts. My teaching experience as a Technical Lead at iCode has shaped my ability to make learning both engaging and impactful. I mentored over 15 students, guiding them through web development fundamentals like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as introducing them to game development using Unreal Engine. Witnessing their skills improve by 80% and seeing their creative ideas come to life has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my journey. In my tutoring sessions, I aim to break down complex concepts into simple, relatable ideas using clear explanations and visual representations. I believe in fostering curiosity and confidence by tailoring lessons to a student's unique pace and learning style. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring new technologies, watching T.V., cooking, and staying active with outdoor activities. My ultimate goal is to inspire students to embrace problem-solving and critical thinking, equipping them with skills that extend far beyond the classroom. I look forward to helping students achieve their academic goals while nurturing their enthusiasm for learning and technology.

My goal is to show everyone I teach their full potential. I want to help build confidence and make learning fun again.

I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Belmont Abbey College in 2014. Recently, I received my Master of Science degree in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Throughout this time, I was able to gain invaluable experience engaging students one on one and in a classroom setting. For two years, I worked as a lab instructor at UNC-Charlotte where I taught labs for genetics and general biology. I quickly found that teaching, and particularly working with students one on one, is a passion of mine. Whether the student is advanced in the subject or is heavily struggling with the basics, I greatly enjoy working individually with them to guide them towards improved academic performance. I fully believe that no two students are exactly alike and therefore my teaching approaches can not be exactly alike for every student. This philosophy of being flexible in my methods of engaging students enables me to get the most from every student. I am very passionate about teaching many areas of the biological sciences including cell biology, physiology, immunology, microbiology, and molecular biology. Outside of academics I enjoy going to the gym, hiking, and supporting my favorite sports teams.

I am passionate about teaching and tutoring because I believe that teachers can make a positive impact on our society through education, training, tutoring and mentoring.

I have been in education, around the country, for over 20 years in various roles, serving in other educational capacities such as department chair, team leader and principal. He has worked for the U.S. House of Representatives and on several state and local campaigns. The most important moment in a teacher's life is when the "ah-ha" moment occurs with a student. That moment is the one that I have lived to see over and over again. When I see that moment in the face or eyes of my student, I know my job in nearly completed.I have taught many different course over my career along with some ELA, and business courses as well as physical education. My main course of studies was the discipline of social studies, including but not limited to United States History or American History, World History, Civics and Economics or Government, World Geography, and African American Studies. My focus is on helping students understand American government and American history. I try to tie in specific contribution of the many different communities and cultures that have made up the United States to help make clear the many contributions that went into making the country what it is today.My teaching philosophy is to start in a lecture format to set up the background of the lesson and then expand to a conversation where all parties can contribute to the discussion as we learn how and why situations and concepts evolved as they did. I will present information and ask for feedback to what we are learning and why it matters. As we get further along, I will ask students to help present the lesson as to bring about ownership of the subject so can all learn together.

As an educator, I am deeply passionate about guiding students toward academic success.

I have recently completed my 25th year in education, with experience in teaching and intervention from kindergarten to grade 6 in addition to graduate study in curriculum design and educational leadership. After exploring different opportunities, including administration, curriculum design, and curriculum coaching, I have rediscovered my love for teaching and interaction with students. I struggled with mathematics as a student because I am an analytical thinker and it was not until I learned how to teach mathematics developmentally that I understood where my teachers had failed me. I made it my personal mission to never miss an opportunity to help a student connect to mathematical knowledge in a meaningful way and to develop multiple paths to understanding so that each one of my students will have the opportunity to interact with content in a way that makes sense to them. I have a passion for fostering developmental thinking in mathematics and believe that the way to excellence is building a strong foundation in number sense and multiple paths to knowledge. The way to understand mathematics is to do mathematics, breaking through the barriers of what a student thinks they should know and drilling down to find the obstacles that are holding them back from true understanding.

With almost 20 years of elementary education teaching experience, I come with a variety of skills and strategies to help children grow in any area!
