...school to adult learners. As a Peace Corps volunteer, I taught English as a foreign language to Ukrainian students in grades two through seven. I have also tutored students in primary school and high school in introductory Latin and led a tutorial for college students in introductory Attic Greek. I taught extra-curricular remedial courses in composition and reading comprehension for grades six through eight and was responsible for submitting weekly progress reports to parents and...

...have found that engaging a student directly in the learning process helps him/her to understand (and remember) the topic more fully, rather than letting them get by on just rote memorization that is forgotten once the test is over. One of my favorite things to tutor is for the verbal part of the SAT and SSAT. I try to relieve the dread that some students have for learning all those vocabulary words by making the...

...this spring with a major in Music. I graduated from high school at Sidwell Friends in 2015, where I was academically focused on math and physics. I also prepared for and took the ACT in my senior year. I'm ready to help students with any of these subjects, particularly ACT test prep, math, or writing, a favorite hobby of mine. I know what it's like to be eager about learning, but not have the natural...

...most about tutoring students in Latin and Italian is helping them build a stronger foundation in their native English language as well as in the foreign language. Over the course of my years as a tutor, I have seen my students expand their vocabulary and rhetorical skills in English through their study of foreign and classical language. I firmly believe that by grasping the roots of language, students will set themselves apart as writers, not...

...from a young age, and that passion spurred me to study other topics with the same fervor. In addition to studying the Latin language, I have also studied Ancient Greek, Old English, Old Norse, Old Irish, and German. I love finding the patterns in languages and using language change to understand how ancient people thought about the world around them. My particular specialty is in kingship rituals, and I wrote my senior thesis about kingship...

...Elementary School in Lynchburg, tutored Greek and Latin at Randolph for two years, and even substituted for my Greek professor several times for her 101 class. I am an ardent proponent of learning for learning's sake and that the classics is a gift open to everyone. Ultimately, I hope my students walk away thinking exactly the same thing. I dedicate my spare time to reading Herman Melville, buying books I don't have room for, finding...

...in math, economics, physics, violin, and music publishing for five years. My favorite subject is math because it involves critical thinking and universal concepts. My teaching philosophy is to target the student's source of frustration, to ensure correct terminology using the student's course materials, to provide strategies for memorizing information, and to focus the bulk of the tutoring session on the student's homework or projects. In addition, I am very understanding, patient, and kind. My...

...to love and be loved. I believe that all animals enjoy happiness, but some do not know how to find it. I believe we all have a spark inside of us; some religions call it a light and science calls it life. From this life we can encourage others. I believe that this spark needs to be fed with love, and from this spark all good, positive, and healthy things grow. Speech is one of...

...and failing. This is why I chose to tutor with VarsityTutors: so that you and I can inspire each other with our stories, and show our communities that nothing can quell the desire to become better. Because if I can do or become what I thought that I could never do or become, then so can you. Because even though you cannot envision the future, you know that, with consistency and effort, you can create...

...currently a fourth year medical student at the University of Maryland. I've always loved to teach. I think one of the most exciting things about learning is to be able to pass it on to others. It is also one of the main reasons I have a passion for becoming a doctor. I went to University of Maryland, College Park for college and majored in English and Biology, my two favorite subjects. I also minored...

...approach timed writings as well as essay writing. In my AICE/AP Language and Composition class, I produced an essay for the short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" which my teacher requested an extra copy of so that she could use it as an exemplar for next year's students. I am a member of The National Society of High School Scholars, World Foreign Language Honor Society, Virginia Senior Classical League, and I graduated Magna Cum Laude with...

...criminal justice and physics, and have written and edited a variety of papers in both subjects. In addition to law and physics, I am also fairly skilled with languages, having taken Spanish for six years, and Italian, Ancient Greek, and Latin for a year apiece. In addition to focusing on law, physics, and languages, I have also had a lot of success with helping students with learning disabilities, such as ADD, ADHD, and dyslexia. I...

Guarantees: I can guarantee you that if you follow the steps I pass onto you, I have no doubt that you will not only pass the class but also end up with an A. That's based on experience and not talk. Once you understand Math, you will...
