Award-Winning Tutors serving Tempe, AZ

Hello, My name is Jake. I am currently getting my Masters in Secondary Education from Grand Canyon University. I am currently pursuing a career in teaching middle and early high school math. I believe that math is not just numbers, but a way to see and interpret the living world. I have experience teaching and tutoring in China, Thailand, Vietnam, and the US. I am also qualified to teach English as a Second Language. ... Students...

...high school and online environment - and have also worked as a college mentor for different ASU programs. I am excited to keep on tutoring in mathematics and helping students understand and learn, not just memorize. There is potential for any dreams of any student to come true that is why I enjoy tutoring, and I want to be the support and encourage and to prepare the students. My hobbies include but are not limited...

I believe every child deserves the opportunity to have a teacher who cares for them and knows their individual needs. I work to find out why a student struggles and resolve the problem before moving forward. I like to provide tools to succeed and instruction that accommodates.

...If I can help with that mission in any way, I'm excited and motivated to do so. Since I was in elementary school, I was always the "go-to" girl to help others in my class. I have found that I have a natural gift for helping people feel good about themselves (kids and adults alike) and have translated that gift in my work as a tutor as well as my career. Although I am knowledgeable...

...years of work experience as a special needs instructor. I had the privilege of working with ages birth-fifteen in my free time, where I learned valuable professional skills such as client care, redirection, creative teaching, and behavior function. In both my academic and professional life, I have been consistently praised as hard-working by my professors and peers. Whether working on academic, extracurricular, or professional projects, I apply proven communication, creative thinking, and critical thinking skills,...

...dramatically. More than just adding to the cumulative knowledge of the past, some would say that information is increasing at an exponential rate. Currently, students are being asked to absorb this information; often without a proper structure or guidance as to how this can be accomplished. Having already made this journey myself, I am very excited to join Varsity Tutors and to help motivated students in their quest for a meaningful role within society.

I have 37 years of teaching - special education in Tempe School District, 32 years with Mesa Public Schools, and over 20 years teaching teachers how to teach reading. I have been retired three years, and I miss teaching so I am happy to be able to teach again!

...a child`s development. I hope tutoring will inspire children to become confident individuals in their learning and encourage them to have a desire to learn more. It is essential that as the educator, we inspire students beyond what they believe they can achieve and help them to reach their goals. I strongly believe building positive relationships with individual students' matter; children need to feel able to make mistakes without feeling judged for them to progress...

I have traveled all around the world and love to bring those experiences in with my...

...Certificate in Spanish Translation and Interpretation from Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona. In this program, I received training on medical, legal, commercial, and technological translation and interpretation. As a 2nd language learner of Spanish myself, I have personally experienced many of the common challenges that English speakers face when learning Spanish. Because of this, I am excited to share with students not only my love for the langauge, but also all of the tips...

...all day. She told me that my calc 2 teacher has that job. I want to be a teacher that can help any student feel that way about their most rigorous passions. Being a great learner, (which is perhaps the ultimate goal of both students and teachers) is dependent upon asking great questions. I am excited to help foster those great questions in the subjects I tutor: General Math (any age), Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus.

...sciences: an MA in English with an emphasis on Rhetoric from University of Maryland (UMD) and a Bachelor's degree from Colorado State University (CSU) in Animal Sciences. Additionally, I have a decade of experience working higher education at UMD and Stanford University.

...I have always taught with patience and passion to help my students grasp the concepts which they need to succeed in the class and be able to apply the concepts to solving scientific problems. Some of my former students are currently working as medical doctors, nurses, engineers, teachers, and scientists. I am looking forward to working with students who want to tap into my skill and experience to pass their Chemistry courses. I make Chemistry...

...began to love tutoring and making light bulbs go off in students mathematical learning. I was a full time high school math teacher in Northern California for two years, but came to realise that I missed the individual attention that tutoring gives. Math is not an easy subject for many individuals, and with the new common core standards many students are seeing their math brains being stretched in multiple ways. I aim to break down...

Every student learns differently! Once we find a method you like, success is just around the corner!

...continue to learn throughout the rest of my life! I have extensive experience taking Science, Math, and English courses through the undergraduate level.

My goal is for students to deeply understand each concept we go over. I enjoy learning the "why?" when studying my courses, and I hope those who I tutor...

I graduated with my doctorate of pharmacy from Chapman School of Pharmacy in 2025. ... I would tell them how much education can affect their lives and the lives of others in the future.... I would read it with them and help them figure it out by themselves.... I explain the basics of the concept before answering their questions.... After making sure that they understand the question, I'll sometimes compete with them in a fun way...

...grade my first year and this is my second year of teaching 7th grade Language Arts. I really enjoy working with all the quirkiness that comes with middle school. I have been reading apprenticeship trained, which focuses on students discovering the answers through annotation of a text and meta-cognition. This year, my school has adopted the Engage New York curriculum, so I am familiar with some of the struggles that arise from the new common...

...traveled extensively in the United States and Europe and have made trips to China and North Africa. I am better able to appreciate my travels, since I have a background in geography. My knowledge of French has proven beneficial in that I have made many summer trips to France over the last 25 years and I have also traveled to Switzerland, Belgium, and Morocco on various occasions. I enjoy sharing my passion for French, geography,...

...spent this past summer of 2012 living in a rural village in Africa, teaching school children (ages 11-15) to read, write and speak English. It was one of the hardest and most rewarding things I have ever experienced. Throughout high school and college, I have excelled as a writer and am extremely confident in my ability to write and edit, whether it be creative writing or term papers. I also pride myself on my ability to...
