Monique

College Application Essays Tutor • +17 Subjects

I love education. I received a B.A. in psychology as well as a B.A. in sociology at the University at Buffalo. I get so much pleasure and satisfaction from teaching and watching my students grow academically. Right now, I teach kindergarten, but I have taught preschool through Third grade and have also worked with middle and high school children. I also was a teaching assistant at the college level in Psychology and sociology. Phonics, reading, English, language arts, psychology and sociology are my specialties, however, I enjoy teaching any subject. Outside of the classroom, I love to go to the movies, enjoy live theater, read a good book, write, travel, or anything involving the arts. I look forward to helping you or your student reach their education goals!

Bahiya

Elementary School Tutor • +24 Subjects

State certified Elementary teacher (K-6) with Teacher of Students with Disabilities endorsement. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in English. Before pursuing a career in education, I attended Katharine Gibbs School of Fashion, where I obtained an Associate of Science degree in Fashion Design and Merchandising. I have more than 13 years of experience co-teaching in self-contained classrooms teaching students with disabilities. Although I love and enjoy working with children of all ages, I've developed a deeper love for students with disabilities. I believe all children are deserving of equal and fair education and that it's my responsibility to equip students with the tools they need to be successful. I am a firm believer in education and how absolutely necessary it is for an improved quality of life. Although I tutor in core subjects, I am extremely passionate about English and Literature. Most of the tutoring services I provide are to assist students in elementary and middle school, however, I have much experience tutoring undergrad and graduate students as well. I'm an advocate for building self-confidence and encouraging students to try their best all while teaching and/or re-teaching foundational skills.

Keri

Elementary School Tutor • +19 Subjects

My passion is helping students grasp skills that are foundational to future learning. I especially enjoy helping students with reading skills and math skills. I not only want to help students master the skills they are struggling with, but also help them become confident in their skills. I want to instill in students the belief in their ability to master the skills needed.I have been teaching for over 25 years. I have a bachelor's degree in elementary education. I taught second grade for over 10 years in the classroom. I currently homeschool my own children. I have taught or tutored all ages of children, up through high school in all subjects.I have taught hundreds of students to read by giving them the foundational phonetic skills to decode words. This is my biggest joy. It is very exciting for me to see a student finally grasp that they can read well.Math has always been a favorite subject of mine to teach to students also. I value giving students any "tricks" to help master the content they need. I want learning to be more fun, so the students are more engaged and remember more. I like to add little poems or songs with motions to help students remember the content easier.I would greatly enjoy helping your student grow in their skills. I hope to see you soon.

Brittany

Arithmetic Tutor • +26 Subjects

I graduated from Pensacola Christian College with a bachelor's degree in secondary education with concentrations in English and history. After graduating in 2011, I have taught a broad range of subjects, mostly math and language arts for fourth through sixth grade students. I am taking a break from teaching in a formal classroom setting to raise a family and pursue writing. Tutoring has become a perfect fit for this time in my life because I still get to work with students on a regular basis. One of my favorite things about tutoring is working one on one with each student, making each session fit their individual needs. My goal is to strengthen a student's knowledge foundation. Building their knowledge leads to building their confidence. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, crafts, and music.

Laura

Algebra Tutor • +24 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Florida, where I majored in English and minored in Linguistics. I truly love writing and have a passion for spelling and grammar. I am confident that I can help any student become a better writer.Throughout high school, I worked with a boy through his third and fourth grade years to improve his writing skills for the FCAT, the state standardized exam in Florida, which he successfully passed at the conclusion of my tutelage.Standardized testing has always come naturally to me and I scored very well on my SAT test. I would be happy to pass along any tips and tricks I can to help students score higher. My specialty is in process of elimination and strategic guessing.Additionally, I have always been good with Mathematics and Spanish. I tutored my peers in Math throughout all of middle and high school. I love Spanish and studied it for seven years (up until mid-college). One high school sophomore I helped in Spanish raised her D+ to an A!While a majority of my tutoring experience is from high school, I have had plenty of leadership experience since that has kept me aware of successful teaching methods. I was a camp counselor for elementary-aged children for four consecutive summers (2008-2012), and I was a leader and choreographer for my college dance team from 2008 to 2011.I have top-notch communication skills and a fun personality. I would be thrilled to help students achieve their education goals.

Evan

ACT Writing Tutor • +51 Subjects

Hello! My name is Evan Leshinskie, and I am a first-year law student at the University of Utah S.J Quinney School of Law. I recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from Pepperdine University with my Bachelor's of Arts in Economics. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but I have the most experience working with students in SAT, ACT, LSAT, and AP/college economics. I have a laid-back tutoring style, but I make sure to present the content in the most simplified way I can to ensure students understand the material through guided practice. I have been tutoring with Varsity Tutors for over three years now, and I previously served as the course tutor for several of Pepperdine's upper-division economics courses. In my spare time, I love to watch movies and tv shows, exercise, and spend time with my dogs.
