I have a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts. I was an English teacher for two months in South Korea. In college, I wrote a play that was produced by a middle school. I am an honors graduate of a medical transcription and editing program from the online school Career Step. This included courses in grammar and punctuation. With this program, I also gained proofreading and editing skills as I edited work that I had transcribed to be sure it was grammatically correct. I love to travel and have new experiences. Every day I work on learning new things and developing new talents. There are so many interesting things about this world.

I graduated from the University of Oklahoma in 2011 with Bachelor's degrees in International Studies and Letters and a Spanish minor. I studied abroad in Chile from 2009 to 2010, where I first started giving private instructions in English. After graduating from the university, I worked as an English instructor at the University's Center for English as a Second Language (CESL), where for three years I taught academic reading and writing, communication skills, and standardized exam preparation. I enjoy tutoring, and have experience giving private instruction in English reading, writing, and speaking, and preparation for the following standardized exams: SAT, ACT, GRE, TOEFL and IELTS. It's been my pleasure to work with students from a variety of national, cultural and social backgrounds to help them achieve their personal, academic, and career goals. I'm an avid reader, musician, outdoors-enthusiast, chef, and movie-watcher.

I have received my Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia with a focus in image and minor in Business Administration from Loyola Marymount University. Currently, I am working to get my Masters in Secondary Education, also from LMU. In addition to my Masters, I hope to earn my Teaching Credentials as well. As an undergrad, I tutored for the Academic Resource Center on campus for about two years; I have worked one-on-one with students as well as worked with a group of up to 15 students. In addition to this, I mentored for CollegeSpring, a SAT prep program, during the summer after graduation. At the end of the summer, my student's average scores increased by 200-300 points.Because I was an art major in college, I am a bit out of practice when it comes to Pre-Calculus and such, but math was my best subject in school and I can pick it up again quickly as I have seen in my experience with CollegeSpring. Math is my favorite subject because solving problems is like solving a puzzle; there are many ways to go about finding the solution but, at least for this level of math, there is only one answer. The subjects I feel the most confident tutoring are SAT Math, Algebra or below, Public Speaking, and Essay Editing/ Writing.From my experience as both a student and a tutor, I find that the best way to teach students is to leave the pen/pencil in their hands for at least 90% of the time. Although it is vital to give examples and work through problems together, the tutor's job is not to give answers and simply show how problems are done. This may cause students to memorize techniques rather than learn the critical thinking process that allows them to do work on their own. I strongly believe that my job as a tutor is to ask the student questions that will assist them to arrive at an answer on their own. Of course, examples need to be given and I may give more help in the beginning, but the goal is to ween students off help after time. I cannot stand over their shoulder during tests or be there as they go through college so they must learn how to approach work on their own.Outside of work and school, I enjoy cooking, exercise, and drawing. The way food affects our mood, body, and health intrigues me- which is why I love cooking. In addition to food, a healthy mind and body must have proper exercise. While I may not be the best when it comes to running, I have started weight training and am looking for other ways to get cardio into my routine which includes hikes. Drawing, however, remains my passion. While it is time consuming and I do not have as much time for it as I used to, I love figure drawing, impressionist painting, and illustrating cartoons.

Hello! My name is Ethan Swerdlow, and I am currently working as a Mechanical Engineer at Boeing's Huntington Beach facility.I received a Bachelor of Science degree from Lafayette College in Mechanical Engineering, with a minor in Mathematics. I played Division-I Football for all four years of my undergraduate experience.I was born and raised in San Diego, and attended La Jolla High School. During my high school years, I played varsity football and lacrosse, and completed a rigorous course load.Because of my 8 years as a student-athlete, I understand the complexities of time management that students face when balancing difficult coursework and other activities. Throughout my higher education, I have enjoyed tutoring. My strengths and passions are in math and science. Growing up, I struggled a bit with other subjects, and because of this, I have a great appreciation for the importance of a helpful tutor.

Hello friends!Pleased to e-meet you :). Tutoring with Varsity Tutors intrigues me because I am a natural teacher and communicator, and because I enjoy the opportunity to help young people who want to further their education! Writing, reading, history, and German are my specialties. I'm actually a writer and poet myself, on top of being a singer and songwriter.Education is so important to your youth and to our society, and I'm just happy to be a part of it. And I believe that education is not just teaching how to do something. Education is also building a relationship and building a positive and welcoming environment. Those things are what truly opens up new potential.Thanks for reading. I hope to meet you in person very soon so we can get started!Best,Danny

Hi everyone! I'm Rebecca, an energetic, passionate and inspired educator. Originally from Sunnyvale, CA, I first discovered tutoring while an undergraduate student at the University of California, Irvine, helping international students improve their English skills. As I progressed through undergrad and graduate school, I expanded my tutoring repertoire to include French and Japanese, two languages I have studied extensively, while obtaining my teaching credential in Music. After graduate school, I headed to Japan to live and teach ESL for two years, before heading back to Silicon Valley to purse a career as a music teacher. I'm super excited to be your ESL, French, Japanese, or Music Theory tutor!I find that the one-on-one environment of tutoring is truly special because of the tutor-student relationship that can develop over time, and the learning and growth that can happen in such a setting. I love interacting with my students and helping them directly, and I love seeing students meet their learning goals.When I'm not teaching or tutoring, I enjoy singing karaoke, hiking, traveling, photography, and learning languages (currently working on Spanish!)

I am a recent graduate of the University of Richmond, where I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Literature, with a a minor in Creative Writing. I have studied Essay Writing at Oxford University and Literature at Harvard University. In my free time, I am a volunteer for several charitable organizations such as Romanian Children's Relief, Stop Hunger Now, and Relay for Life.Though I tutor in a wide variety of topics, I am most passionate about English. I am a highly skilled writer and editor who can provide valuable tutoring to any student struggling with the written word. Most importantly, my methods of teaching can help encourage students to regain the confidence in themselves needed to feel prepared and at ease in any academic setting.Next year, I plan to go back to school to get my Master's Degree in Publishing or Digital Journalism. I am also currently in the process of writing a novel of Young Adult Literature featuring a strong and insightful female hero.

I recently earned my Bachelors of Science degree in Mathematics from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona and am a certified CLRA tutor from Chaffey College Math Success Center. From my 4 years of tutoring experience, I have experienced the joys of teaching and have become attracted to the art, which has guided me to aspire to become a professor of mathematics. Although I want to become a professor to teach at the university level, I also enjoy teaching younger students because I believe that having a strong foundation, understanding of the basics, is key to succeeding in any math course. Aside from tutoring math, I enjoy indoor and outdoor rock climbing. It is a great pastime because no matter how long I have climbed, the challenges keep coming!

I am a graduate from the Northwestern University School of Law and am in my fifth year of practicing law in California. I am originally from the Los Angeles area and attended UCLA for my undergraduate degree in political science. Since graduating law school, I worked at both a major law firm and a small law firm until I was appointed as an attorney for a federal judge (a.k.a. “law clerk” position). I primarily tutor clients for LSAT preparation. I scored in the 99th percentile when I took the LSAT exam, and have since refined my strategies that are crucial to a successful LSAT score. My ultimate goal is that my students will score even higher than I scored, and I look forward to observing the progress and success of each of my clients. In my free time, I like to spend time outdoors playing tennis, jogging, hiking, and meeting with friends. I also love to travel and appreciate the uniqueness that each city--much like each person--has to offer. I feel my easy going nature and curiosity for life will rub off on my clients, and possibly even help them enjoy the sometimes daunting experience of taking the LSAT.
