As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering from Washington State University, I am dedicated to igniting curiosity and fostering a love for science in my students. With over 2 years of experience in tutoring and classroom settings, I specialize in AP Chemistry, and AP Calculus, among other subjects. My teaching philosophy emphasizes creating a supportive and engaging environment where students feel confident to ask questions and delve into complex concepts. I tailor my approach to meet each student's unique needs, ensuring they not only master the material but also recognize its significance in their lives. In my spare time, I enjoy reading about scientific advancements and exploring nature, which continually fuels my enthusiasm for teaching and sharing knowledge.

I help law students make "A's," plain and simple. I have hundreds of hours of tutoring, and I have devised a system that is readily available to students to aid them in the reason that they are reaching out for tutoring in the first place -- making "A's." In addition, I have also written a book available on Amazon, "Beating the Law School Curve," that acts as a supplement guide for the 1L student just new to law school.

I'm astrobiologist and PhD student, with a deep love of teaching science. I have 4+ years of teaching environmental science and geology at the college level, and 2+ years of tutoring experience in astronomy. I also have considerable experience with Python, especially in terms of scientific applications and programming.(Ask me about network theory-based potential biosignatures for exoplanets!)

I am a life-long learner and an encouraging, supportive and resourceful teacher who really takes joy in investing in students' progress and learning.I have had over 9 years of direct teaching experience, from university classrooms to kitchen table tutoring to online language teaching. I most enjoy working with students who know what they don't understand and are willing to ask and answer questions, even daunting ones!

I am a graduate of Washington State University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Communication with a focus on Journalism and Public Relations. While in college, I took the opportunity to study abroad in Spain for a summer, where I took three months of intensive language classes. My experience abroad allowed me to achieve a double major in Spanish Language Studies. Throughout high school and college, I volunteered for peer mentoring programs.I spent much of my free time tutoring students in English, Public speaking, and Spanish. I feel passionate about tutoring programs because growing up, I used them. Tutoring is an integral part in the learning process because every person learns in a unique way. People understand concepts differently and the key to making someone enjoy their education is to understand that they may think differently than what is taught in a standard text book.I try to encourage unique learning styles. I try to impart a new perspective for learning, as well as an appreciation for education to all of my students. Since graduation, I have entered the workforce in media relations. I started out as an Account Executive for a Portland radio station. I spent three years working on marketing campaigns for different clients and businesses. The job allowed me to hone my writing and public speaking skills. I now work as a Public Relations Coordinator for the technology company, FLIR Systems. I cultivate relationships with the media, write press releases and coordinate events. In my spare time, you can find me perusing Powell’s Book Store, enjoying the beautiful Portland scenery or running around my neighborhood.

I love to learn and teach others how to love learning. My mission in life is to leave the world even better than I found it. Humor, compassion, and grace are the three big tenets of my professional philosophy. I can tutor in academics K-12 and some professional exams, such as Special Education Praxis, English Language Learners Praxis, and other teacher endorsement Praxis programs.

I am a secondary math teacher with over ten years of tutoring experience. I graduated with a degree in Biology from Washington State University and a Masters in secondary education from Gonzaga University. I love helping students master the concepts that they need to be successful in their classes and on their tests!

I have worked, in various capacities, as a teacher for over twelve years. I began as a home school mom and then became a substitute teacher in public school, focusing on K-5th grade students. I have taught at a private Christian school and tutored no-child-left-behind students through the 12th grade. My main focus now is helping K-6th struggling readers by using phonics instruction. I also enjoy helping students with writing and language arts. My goal is not to just help them pass a test, but rather give them the skills to become strong, independent readers.

I graduated from Washington State University. My major was Sociology with a minor in Human Development. Later, I became a teacher to assist students with learning disabilities. My biggest revelation was that everyone learns differently.I help struggling students find their learning style and apply it. The process may not be pretty but progress is made . One strategy is "no opting out". Students work on a assignment despite believing they cannot complete it.My approach to tutoring is two-fold for students in elementary school to high school. They must practice skills and learning strategies. This approach does not accommodate college students because of the academic workload. For them, our sessions are project-based. I cover all aspects of an assignment, including examples or critique completed projects.I now focus on entrepreneurial education and S.T.E.M. The subjects that I tutor are: English, Language Arts and Basic Math to Pre-Algebra. I look forward to unleashing the learning potential of future clients.

I'm a current graduate student and TA in mathematics at Western Washington University with a BS in Mathematics with Honors from WSU. I started out in Mechanical Engineering, but I realized through tutoring and teaching assistant positions that I really love helping students break through obstacles in their education, specifically in math and science. I firmly believe that math should never be an obstacle to any path someone may want to pursue in life, whether that be a college STEM education or simply passing pre-calculus. I also really enjoy helping with test prep and helping students learn the little tricks to get consistently high scores.

I graduated from the University of Washington in 1996 and traveled across the state to join the ranks of our "arch enemy" at Washington State University for graduate school in Speech-Language Pathology, completing my masters degree in 1998. It wasn't until about 2010 that I realized I have always been a coach. In middle school, I was a peer coach. In high school, I volunteered as a counselor at a nature conservation camp for 5th and 6th graders. In college, I began coaching football at the high school level. My studies lead me to working with elementary and secondary school students focusing on speech and language development. However, I absolutely LOVE teaching math. It's numbers that really show a young person's mind at work. My passion is helping others succeed. When the light goes on in a young person's mind, it brings a huge smile to my face. I simply love coaching others to success. In my spare time, I enjoy reading spy novels, cycling and watching sports.

Are you interested in my experiences teaching or tutoring experiences??? Would you like to hear the story of my backyard classroom when I was 10 years old? Naw! Boring! That is history.I have been teaching and/or tutoring since my student days at Eastern Michigan University. Topics included English literature, writing, and reading. For Middle School topics included social studies and language arts. For High School it was literature, reading and grammar. And for College it was tutoring students in a variety of majors.Washington State University provided a Master's in teaching adults. Those teaching experiences have been the best of all worlds and the worst.The best experience for a teacher or tutor is being granted the opportunity to help a person grow in his/her skills. Observing the growth in confidence cannot be beat as a best experience for any tutor.The worst experience for a tutor or teacher is watching a student struggle, but refuse help. If you are asking for help you deserve an award.My job as a tutor is to tackle with you that pesky topic that is presenting problems. And did I mention have a good time? If you want more background information ask for my resume. I am ready to work with you to improve your skills.

For the past 25 years I have been teaching and tutoring students from Elementary to College. I truly love to see the "light bulb" pop on when a student understands something they have been struggling to learn. I personally believe everybody can learn. In my spare time I read and write books, cook, play basketball, make mix tapes and dance. I can dance anything from the Waltz to the Whip and Nene.

Hello! I have been teaching/tutoring for almost 10 years now and have worked with students from elementary levels to doctoral levels.

If you are struggling, I've been there, and am here to help!

Hi - I'm Carrie Steltz, and I've been teaching all levels of English language and communication classes for over 21 years, 15 of them at Clark College in Vancouver. I have earned three degrees from Pacific NW colleges, including a Certificate in Professional and Technical Writing and Editing from PCC, and a Master's in Education: Policies, Foundations, and Administration, Specializing in Leadership in Ecology, Culture, and Learning from PSU. I'm a firm believer in exciting learning, for all ages, both for myself and my students, and my experience and enthusiasm sure help us stay motivated!I have completed ten additonal professional development courses at Clark for instructors, and my proudest moment was excelling in and obtaining my 2019 Certification of Completion in eLearning/Teaching Online with Hybrid and Online Formats.

I am a graduate of Washington State University with a doctorate of philosophy degree in education. I have been working in education for more than 20 years. My experience includes tutoring, teaching, and program creation, development, and management focused on empowering students through education. My specialty is working with students who struggle in mathematics and writing. Through this work, I have helped numerous students who lacked foundational knowledge in mathematics learn the material to the extent that it opened career options for them and they ended up successfully going into STEM fields. Students I have helped with writing have improved their skills to the extent that they not only successfully completed their college degrees, but were able to get into graduate school and complete their degrees. For some of the students I have helped, I have even sat on their master's or doctoral committees. For you, the sky is the limit. I am here to help you to not only achieve your goals and dreams, but also consider possibilities you have never thought of. I look forward to working with you.

I am a lover of education and learning. Since being a full-time student isn't a practical career choice, the next best thing is teaching and tutoring others to not only understand their subject but enjoy it. I truly believe that learning can and should be fun for everyone, you just need to find out what motivates you! I have an extensive education background in several subjects including math, business, communications, liberal arts, journalism, and international business. In my professional career, I spent over a decade in banking and finance, as well as creating business plans for start-ups and existing businesses, specifically with the goal of securing SBA financing. I then shifted gears and started work in the augmented and virtual reality software industry where I work with clients and engineers to create custom applications for businesses all over the world.

I'm Kaelyn, and this is my ninth year as the speech pathologist at Cherry Park Elementary in Portland, Oregon. I LOVE working with my students, and I enjoy using technology as much as I can. I understand that kids think and learn differently, and it's my job to help them grow and make progress.Want to know a little about me? I am a graduate of the University of Oregon (Go Ducks!) and Washington State University.

I am a graduate of Washington State University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Management and Operations. The day after my graduation I opened my own business: a gaming lounge for young adults and kids. I have a passion for working with the youth and have recently begun getting into the tutoring field again. I was an emergency substitute for my local school district as well as a student tutor during my college career. I am most passionate about mathematical studies and technical writing. I believe that the purpose of education is to gain perspective. In my free time, I enjoy playing the drums and playing fortnite with my daughter.

Educating students for over 10 years has been a privilege. Particularly gratifying is the opportunity to witness my pupils progress in mathematics. After teaching math for nearly a decade, I completed my graduate work last year in Educational leadership with a follow up credential in administration. In the past, my students in mathematics routinely have returned to visit, sharing their continued successes following what was learned as a member of my classroom. I want to continue to help children "get it" as they are called on to rise to new heights in an increasingly competitive academic and occupational climate. I have decided to continue within the Varsity Tutors platform with the goal of increasing the scope of students I can assist in their math skills development.

Hello! I am currently a graduate level student that will begin work towards my Human Health and Environmental Systems MPH at Oregon Health and Science University in the fall. I held my first tutoring job in high school, where I spent after school and summers working with local elementary school students on reading, writing, and math skills. I loved the rare chance to see the look on a child's face when a tricky concept they had been struggling with suddenly made sense.More recently, I have been working at the Washington State University Vancouver Writing Center. There I did both face-to-face and online consultations with students about pieces of their writing. We would discuss the papers ideas, argument, organization, flow, grammar mechanics, and citation style. When working with papers, I follow strategies that we were taught to use at the writing center, which include reading papers out loud to help find problematic sentences, doing reverse outlines to check the organization and effectiveness of the papers argument, and teaching the sandwich method of using quotes to help students avoid overusing other people's words.My favorite concept to explain from my time working at the writing center is how to use semicolons! Many people are both confused and scared by that particular piece of punctuation, but it's actually fairly simple to get the hang of if explained in plain language (rather than what I think of as 'grammar language'). I always enjoyed having regulars that came in stop me to show off their effective use of a semi-colon in a paper, when they have previously been too uncomfortable to use it.While I have not previously tutored in sciences or standardized testing, I am very knowledgable in the sciences due to my degree in Environmental Science and can share testing strategies that help avoid making mistakes and falling for trick questions. I believe a tutoring session should be a discussion, rather any type of lecture, where you should feel comfortable enough to ask questions or let me know if something isn't working. Personally, I struggle in math and never thought I would be able to get a degree that requires the math skills that my BS did and MPH will. However, I now believe that anyone can succeed in any subject, as long as the information is presented in ways that they can understand and they put in the hard work needed to make success happen.

I'm a first year undergraduate student at the University of Washington, majoring in International Studies with Honors. I can work with ages K-12 on a wide variety of subjects. While I specialize in English and History, I'm comfortable teaching science and math up to general Biology and Algebra II. I love working one on one with students, and tailoring our lessons to fit different learning needs. Whatever goals you have, I would love to help you succeed!

I am a graduate of Washington State University Vancouver with a Bachelor of Arts in Education. I am endorsed in Elementary Education and ELL. I have worked with all grades K-12 through my student teaching and substituting. I love teaching math and helping students grasp mathematical concepts. I believe that everybody is capable of success and learning, and I love being a part of that process. Outside of teaching I love getting involved in theatre, singing, and watching movies.

I am a current undergraduate student at Washington State University. I will graduate with a BA in Humanities and I plan on returning to either Washington State University or Western Washington University to get my post baccalaureate degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences. After earning my second BA, I plan on attending graduate school with the hopes of obtaining my clinical PhD and becoming an audiologist. I love learning and plan on attending continuing education workshops throughout my career. I have previous tutoring experience that ranges from tutoring students with learning disabilities to helping my fellow peers in college. I tutor in all levels of Spanish, English, Grammar, Reading, Biology, and Public Speaking. I currently work as a receptionist at a company in Portland and I feel very happy and rewarded at my job. In my personal time, I enjoy jogging and plan on running a half marathon some day. I also enjoy cooking as I am gluten-free and have fun experimenting with different recipes which sometimes turn into disasters. I love getting to know people and cannot wait to meet new faces and share knowledge!

With over a decade of teaching experience, I listen carefully to help me more fully understand what a learner knows and where they are growing. I partner with learners to help them discover the strengths and strategies that will help them as they move forward in mathematics.

Our purpose in life is to continue to experience it. To learn, to grow, and to help others. We do not have to have all the answers, but we should strive to ask all the questions we can.I hold a Bachelor's Degree in English and I am currently pursuing a Masters Degree with the intention to teach in Public Education.I have experience as an 8th Grade Language Arts teacher and worked as an administrative tutor and mentor consultant for the Writing Center at Washington State University.My focus as a tutor is to ensure a comfortable environment for students so that they may strive without the fear of failure and provide everything I can so that we can reach the goals of the student.

I graduated from Washington State University with a B.S. in Mathematics and a B.S. in Biotechnology. While in college, I tutored for almost four years in classes ranging from high school algebra to college level calculus, and in a variety of environments, including tutoring in small groups and online.I enjoy tutoring math because it is often one of the most frustrating subjects for students. I like to show students that math doesn't have to be painful. In order to do this, I will often start with a basic problem that has an intuitive answer, identify the concept behind the problem, and then expand the concept in order to solve more complex problems. Teaching this way also provides students with a blueprint to independently solve problems in the future. In this way, I think it's important to teach students how to be more self-sufficient in the learning process, and that includes relaying tips for taking tests and managing one's time.In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball, watching the Portland Trailblazers, and cooking.

I am a graduate of Washington State University. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Social Sciences, with dual minors in history and psychology.

I am passionate in helping people learning the complexities of our political and criminal justice environment. I am committed to breaking down complex ideas into thoughts that everyone can grasp. As someone with ADHD, I heavily encourage anyone with a learning disability to book my tutoring session. I believe anyone can learn anything with the right tutor and mindset!

Anyone can learn anything with just a little work and guidance. I hope to be able to work together to achieve those goals.

I was raised by two English teachers; my dad went on to write a few novels which I assisted in editing. In competitive speech I made my way to the Nationals, and I ran away to join the circus as a ringmaster. My scholarship to college was in Speech, as is my Bachelor's degree. Since then, I taught junior achievement, and ran computer training centers for the now defunct CompUSA. My students will benefit from a deep knowledge of public speaking, knowing how to train and coach, and how to do business presentations. On the business side, I sold my last restaurant due to Covid, and split my time tutoring, writing food related content and doing recipe design. As an owner and in other jobs, I have interviewed hundreds of people and seen many resumes. Staying current, I can share the STAR approach for interview prep with my students, along with all my additional experience. My solid writing skills also make me very qualified for resume writing and direction. I raised two children, one on the autistic spectrum, volunteering in their classes throughout elementary school. My young students will enjoy the rapport I will develop, and efforts to explore their own interests as tools for better instruction.

I am currently a sophomore at Washington University in St. Louis majoring in Biochemistry and minoring in Anthropology. As a student myself I know the importance of getting the right instruction and guidance. Whether you are struggling with a simple concept or a prospective college student grinding to get that standardized test score, I am here to help and provide valuable tips, thinking strategies, and tricks so you ace that test and reach your academic goals. My expertise is tutoring Chemistry and Mathematics and the math/science sections on the ACT.

My goal has been and always will be putting students first. No matter what a district will demand, my students come first. When a students mental health is addressed and answered for, their identity validated, learning flows like no other. We are programmed to learn, excited to learn, sometimes we just have to convince the students that the material they are to learn is pertinent to them. This have proven true, no matter the age of population. This idea has always remained true; treat the students as individuals with their own goals and aspirations, they will respect you back and let what you say sink in.

My goal as an educator is to set my students up for success. I try to address the individual needs of my students and cater to their different learning styles. I am genuinely invested in helping them meet their goals. I have developed a flexible teaching style that is designed to develop critical thinking in conjunction with course content. In addition, I train students to think broadly and encourage students to identify multidisciplinary approaches to solving problems. In addition to over 15 years of college teaching experience, I also possess rich, relevant, academic credentials, having achieved a Ph.D. from Washington State University. I also hold a Bachelor of Science in Zoology from the University of California Santa Barbara, and I possess a wide variety of wet lab and computing skills, which allows me to design coursework and exercises for practical and conceptual learners. I am truly passionate about education and want to help students obtain their academic goals. I am available to tutor students across a broad range of STEM subjects.
