...now I'm learning that sharing those interests with others is almost (if not more) invigorating then learning them in the first place. Beyond that, I'm an open-minded fun dude that finds it easy to relate to just about anyone I meet: I am a "jock": through high school (and as hobbies now) I played football, basketball, hockey, golf, and lacrosse. I am a "nerd": Worked in computer programming, love video games, obsessed w Lord of...

...local elementary school. After loving the experience, I continued spending my time mentoring in college through a program called Reading Friends. After graduating college, I joined Teach for America and began teaching at a middle school in Nashville. Last year I taught Social Studies, and this year I moved into teaching literacy.

...graduate school and earn my master's degree in English. Rather than returning to the classroom after graduate school, I spent 9 years as a writer/editor at the Nashville Banner and Vanderbilt's Alumni Publications. It was while I was writing a story about a special education study at Peabody College that I got the urge to go back to the classroom as a special education teacher. I'm looking forward to using my teaching and writing skills...

...remained in Nashville, and I am currently pursuing a career in journalism and media.

I'm pursuing a double major in Mathematics and English at Vanderbilt University. I have been tutoring math since High School and have native proficiency in Mandarin Chinese. I am dedicated to helping students explore the study methods that will fit their individual needs.

...in new media. I have a tendency to think outside the box when presented with ideas -- sometimes without realizing my audience wasn't prepared for outside-the-box essays. I can help you craft an essay, no matter the subject material, or, I can help you wade through compositional matter. I also love diagramming sentences, which seems to be a lost art form... sadly. That's all I can think of for now, but here are a few...

...school and college level math/science courses including Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Differential Equations, and Physics. I have attained a 3.85 GPA in my 5 semesters at Lipscomb. Outside of school, you will often find me working on my car, photographing nature, or fishing. I cultivated a love of fixing things early on in college, and I refuse to pay a mechanic something that I enjoy doing myself. Getting outside is very important to me, especially since...

Hello! My name is Kimberly, and I love to teach! I have taught Kinder, and 3rd grade, and currently provide reading intervention for 1st graders. I love elementary education, and I strive to be the best educator for my students. To achieve this I stay current by reading educational journals, attending conferences, and seeking out new and interesting ways of delivering lessons.

I have done a lot of different jobs, but I've never found anything I like as much as helping students. I have a gift for explaining things in a way that anyone can easily understand. My students and I have fun but we get things done. I'm very easy to talk to, and I enjoy meeting new people, and discovering how I can help them!... First, I listen to the student to find out how I...

...Olympiad students in high school, I have learned to understand the material from a students' perspective. I try to anticipate the types of questions a student might have, and answer them to the best of my abilities. I also try to teach the same material using different learning styles to make sure my students fully understand the concepts. I like to play Tennis and Ultimate Frisbee during my free time. I play intramural Tennis and...

...a concentration in China and Mandarin Language. I spent six months in Kunming, China, which included one language-intensive semester with a Middlebury College program and two months of independent travel and research.

Outside the classroom, I rebuild motorcycles, write poetry and fiction, and hitchhike.... I believe...

...a minor in Psychology. Over the last eight years, I have taken the ACT, SAT, and MCAT; I have also experienced the rigors of applying to 10+ colleges and 30+ medical schools. I can therefore understand the difficulties associated with preparing for standardized tests and the anxiety about college admissions. I am eager to help students prepare for college applications, including mastering standardized tests, college essays, and study strategies. I am also driven to teach...

I believe all students can learn, it just takes the teacher and tutor to find how that student can best understand the content given to them. That's my goal with working through Varsity Tutors, to find that place of understanding with students to help them connect with the content they're learning.... My teaching philosophy is that every student can learn. We as tutors have a great opportunity to find the right method to engage a student...

...in tutoring communication arts as an adult. Leading students to effectively communicate their knowledge impacts literally every course of study, no matter the age or field. The foundation concepts of communication and literacy, laid well, produce life-improving fruits that will accompany each individual throughout life's duration. That's amazing to me! Third grade thru high school, and college thru adult students benefit greatly from simple, straightforward methods of building words, sentences, paragraphs, and essays. Foreign language...
