I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Sarah

Certified Tutor

I am currently studying at Armstrong State University to be an elementary school teacher. I have tutored for a little over a year now and also worked at a Montessori School. My favorite subjects to tutor are math and English but I enjoy working with test prep, all types of homework, and other subjects. When I meet with my students I like to get to know them a little more than just homework and the school work we are trying to do. I also coach 2 U10 soccer teams and played a variety of sports growing up so those are some things I like to do outside of school and work.

What is your teaching philosophy?

I believe that learner-oriented teaching promotes learning that is both purposeful and enduring. As a tutor, it is my responsibility to know who my learners are, what kinds of knowledge and experience they bring to the sessions, and what they want to achieve so that I can tailor to fit their needs (and yet leave enough room to allow for unassisted success). By assessing where my learners are with respect to our mutual learning goals, I can provide the scaffolding they need to build connections between what they already know and the new understandings they seek to create.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

Typically, I will ask them what their favorite subject is, what their least favorite is and why, and whether they are visual learners or can they read the information and understand it. I will also get to know that student outside of school, such as hobbies, interest, favorite things (movies, sport, etc.). I like to really try and create a bond and trust among us so that we have an open and comfortable environment. I will also answer any questions or concerns they may have for me.
