My name is Kelly and I am a previous 4th grade teacher and recent graduate of Columbia University School of Social Work. I graduated from Texas A&M in 2016 with a bachelors degree in Special Education. After college, I was accepted into Teach for America, where I taught 4th grade reading and writing in inner city Houston. Between my Special Education degree and Teach for America, I have worked with kids from a wide range of ages and disabilities. I am certified to teach General Education (EC-6), Special Education (EC-12), and ESL. I have most experience with elementary reading and writing. I am working at Austin Achieve Elementary School in fall and so excited to be back in Texas!

Learning Spanish from a young age has allowed me to see the world from an entirely new cultural lens and, more importantly, has enabled me to view American or Western culture from an outside point of view. Doing so has made me realize that the United States does not put enough emphasis on learning a second language, specifically Spanish. As a result, we are limited in how we see and interact with the world and other nations.I wish to take my experience studying Spanish and completing a Bachelors of Arts in Spanish to help others explore Hispanic culture by studying the Spanish language. I would concentrate on teaching grammar, with an emphasis on its communicate and conversational application, Spanish conversation, and critically analyze both American and Hispanic cultures as a whole to be able to draw distinctions and gain awareness about their own cultural lens. Furthermore, I wish to draw on my experiences with my TEFL certification, such as creating and carrying out lesson plans about teaching English, towards creating authentic, relevant lesson activities for tutoring Spanish so that they can reinforce and relate to the content they may have gone over in class. Lastly, my experience working in customer service and with children as a chess coach has given me valuable interpersonal skills which I use to be able to connect with students and focus on strengthening the learning strategy that works for them.

Since I graduated from UT Austin in 1988, I have realized that a teacher isn't what I do, it is what I am. Every person has the right to learn and understand what is being presented to them. If you don't understand it, my job is to find a way to bring it to you. By working together, I hope you can find the joy of mathematics that I have found.

I have over fifteen years of educational experience and absolutely love teaching. I have experience teaching and or tutoring from students in kindergarten to college-level students. I have a passion for literacy and enjoy teaching reading, English-language arts, and writing.I am a fairly laid back person with a personality that is welcoming to most individuals. My hobbies are reading, listening to music, binge watching television shows, and attending musical concerts. In my spare time, I enjoy writing poetry.

Hello! My name is Mr. B and I am so excited to be part of Varsity Tutors!This will be my 20th year teaching! I have taught from ages 4 to Adults in various subjects like Math, English, Music, and Spanish (Yo soy latino!).I was born in Ecuador, raised in the US - Hometown: Miami, Florida. I have also lived abroad in countries located in Central America, South America, and Europe. I currently live in Texas. My wife and I have two wonderful children (boy and girl all grown up). We also have our little furball Pomeranian named "Dofe".I love teaching because love to make learning fun and exciting! I enjoy meeting new people! I look forward to meeting you!

I earned my bachelor's degree in English with a focus in writing from Randolph Macon Woman's College. During my junior year I studied abroad in England where I was instructed in writing using the Cambridge and Oxford style essay construction approach. My time in England allowed me to travel in Europe, and this began a love of traveling and meeting people from across the globe. My senior year of college I worked as an international student Orientation Leader and Mentor, and in the spring, I interned at the local high school as an English language tutor for immigrant students. After graduation, I worked in the service industry and also made time for a trip to New Zealand and Australia, while earning a certification in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and Teaching Pronunciation from Oxford Seminars and Eastfield College, respectively. I used these qualifications to journey to the city of Krasnoyarsk, in Siberia, Russia, where for two years I taught English language comprehension classes and exam preparatory classes focused on argumentative style essays and mathematical analysis essays. I taught group classes of children, teenagers, and adults, and I also was engaged as a private tutor through the language school where I was employed. I am currently a student at the University of Texas at Arlington working towards my Masters in Linguistics, which I intend to use to continue teaching English language at a private or public school. I am also employed as a reading comprehension and vocabulary teacher at the Nepali Cultural Center in Irving. I have traveled to 15 countries including Lebanon and the Czech Republic, and I love reading, coffee, shopping, tech gadgets, creative writing, and singing karaoke in my spare time.

I know how it feels to struggle with a course and not be able to find someone to help you out, and I know how much of a difference a that help can make. I have a B.S. in Physics from Sam Houston State, and will be starting my Master's in Biotechnology at Texas A&M in fall 2018. I specialize in tutoring math and physics, both because they're my personal favorite subjects, and because I know many people struggle with those subjects. I believe that mastery of any subject is attainable and that it's just a matter of finding the right approach for each student.

Someone once told me that "educating little humans is a mind-boggling process and one that will also enrich your life!" It is the latter that I find to be more accurate and the reason why I love to teach. I strive to create a classroom environment where students are encouraged to be curious and creative, to appreciate each other's differences, and to instill a love of learning. I am honored to be a part of our students' educational journeys.I was born on a military installation in Heidelberg, Germany. My mother was in the Army, and my father was an engineer. For most of my childhood, I trailed behind my mother and father as they embarked on numerous missions in over 30 countries, across five different continents. I finally returned home upon starting my senior year of high school. Upon graduating from high school, I attended the University of Oklahoma where I later graduated with a B.A in Sociology. After college, I spontaneously decided to teach English in Taiwan. During my time in Taiwan, I learned a lot about Taiwanese culture and language. It was here that I relieved how much I enjoyed teaching and decided that I had to go back to school. In the Summer of 2016, I went back to school to pursue my Master's degree in International Education.I am now in my 4th year of teaching overseas, and I could not be happier. By growing up around so many different cultures and customs as a child, it has helped me to find common ground with almost anyone that I come across. Most importantly, it has helped me to connect with my multicultural students and their families. In my previous position as a 1st-gradeteacher at the American International School in Conakry, I made it clear to both the students and parents that I wanted to set a positive and inspirational learning environment. During activities, I encourage students to speak in their native language to convey thoughts and feelings about specific pieces of literature or to deconstruct a difficult math problem. By speaking both their local language and English, they were able to communicate and collaborate more effectively and thus were more likely to take risks and learn from them. In my current position as a 3rd grade teacher in Saudi Arabia, It is not uncommon for someone to walk into my classroom and see several students nestled in the reading corner, reading a "Just right" book, or to see students using Seesaw to demonstrate their knowledge of various text structures in a nonfiction book. This free and relaxing environment is what I thrived in as an international student and is what I try my best to replicate for the students.

This is my first year tutoring for Varsity but I have more than 10 years of experience teaching kids, teens, and adults.I grew up in Mexico and I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology.I absolutely love teaching Spanish because it helps me to show my students the beauty of the language and the richness of my culture.I hope you will love Spanish language as much as I do!During my classes, we'll have so much fun!The primary methodologies I use are conversations-based and TPRS.The first one is based on conversations. I believe that once you start speaking basic and useful conversational phrases in Spanish it will be easier for you to understand the grammar.The second methodology is called TPRS (Total Physical Response Storytelling). In simple words, it means that we use mimics, facial gestures, vocal tones, stories, songs, and games. It is one of the easiest ways to learn a new language and at the same time have fun.Some of my favorite hobbies are* Travel around the world and learn about different cultures.* Cook and bake are also on the top 3 that's why this year I started to share on social media my favorite recipes I learned during my trips.* Taking pictures is one of my biggest passions and maybe during our class, I will be able to show you some of them.
