Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Maple Grove, MN

...I graduated from Wayzata High, and I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's of Science in neuroscience. At the University, I'm usually in class, studying, hanging out with my friends, or at club meetings! In my free time, I love to breakdance, write poetry, debate politics and economics, and participate in practically every nerdy endeavor possible (huge Star Wars fan!!). I love to talk and will talk your ear off if you let me! I love trying...

...answers, and understanding what the questions are really saying. I value critical thinking as my philosophy of education, because students who have developed the ability to reason through new concepts and be confident in the conclusions they reach are not only well-prepared for tests, but also well-prepared for everything they encounter in life. When not tutoring, I spend my time reading a wide variety of books, knitting, running, playing Ultimate Frisbee, and hiking.... I am convinced...

...the world, and I hope to communicate the importance of this to my students regardless of which direction their academic pursuits take them. I grew up in Toledo, Ohio and have lived and traveled all over the US. I've also traveled overseas and spent six years living in Germany. I studied Photography at the Cleveland Institute of Art and have a Master's of Fine Art in Public Art and New Artistic Strategies from the Bauhaus...

...Now I work as a preschool teacher in a Spanish-English dual immersion preschool; I co-teach a class of 17 three and four year olds. Beyond academics, I love to bike around the Twin Cities, find new nooks to explore, read, and practice yoga. I've traveled to Mexico, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Panama, and hope to see more of Central and South America soon. I write and perform poetry, and coach a team of college slam poets....

...Political Science major at the University of Minnesota. In addition to being a tutor at Grade Potential, I work as a debate coach at Como Park High School in St. Paul. I have previously worked as volunteer tutor at East Side Neighborhood Services and as a Resident Assistant at the University of Michigan Summer Debate Institute. This summer I will also be working with high school students at the Minnesota Debate and Advocacy Workshop.

...degree in math, and I spent the majority of my four years there working in the math tutoring center. I loved being able to work one-on-one with students and see their growth as they started to understand the material. I strongly believe that understanding concepts is just as important as being able to work out technical problems, and that all students (regardless of perceived mathematical intelligence) have the ability to do so. I also understand...

I'm an undergraduate student at Washington University in St. Louis. I'm pursuing a degree in Economics and Healthcare Management.

...After graduating, I lived abroad in Guatemala for over three years where I was a teacher and a columnist for a magazine. I have taught literature, English, Spanish, math, study skills (including designing a very successful study skills program), ACT test prep and leadership. Typically, students that I work with show immediate gains in their subject area. Students I work with will work hard--but we will also have a good time and laugh a lot...

...fellowship as an actuary. I have always enjoyed helping my peers in classes with unclear teaching methods, which led me to tutor at a young age in my K-12 school, then in college. The cumulative nature of math poses challenges to many students, and I like to find ways to connect the dots to help my students have a better grasp of difficult concepts. While I have tutored a variety of subjects, such as math,...

...in psychology, summa cum laude, with a minor in music performance (trumpet). I was a department fellow and tutor, primarily working with psychology and writing students, and also worked as a stage manager in the music department. After college, I headed to The Ohio State University where I earned a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology with a specialization in college teaching. While I was a graduate student, I taught general psychology and ACT prep courses and...

...my life in the central Minnesota area. I attended high school in Elk River, MN and am currently student teaching through St. Cloud State University. I expect to receive a BS in 5th-12th Grade General Science/Chemistry Education this spring. I've spent my time at St. Cloud State studying various subjects with a focus on math, chemistry, biology and other sciences. I've had multiple opportunities to observe and teach in schools around the area, with time spent...

...pursuing a BS in mathematics, as well as minors in creative writing and computer science. While I do not have any formal experience with teaching, I have spent much of my academic career tutoring friends and family to help them succeed in school, and I have personally improved the grades of many of my peers through studying sessions with me by as much as 30%. I am a friendly and casual tutor, but my enthusiasm...

...naturally. Having completed most of the courses prior to my younger siblings taking them, it was natural to spend time answering their questions and working through problems with them. Having graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, I was oftentimes called upon by my peers to help explain a difficult concept, or work through a difficult exercise. In addition to my extensive education in mathematics, I also worked at a Writing tutor...

I recently graduated summa cum laude from the University of Minnesota with a Bachelor of Science degree in Global Studies and Public & Nonprofit Management with a minor in Art. During my time at the U, I took classes in a wide variety of subjects and departments, always looking for new things to learn. I also studied abroad for six months in Sevilla, Spain, where I immersed myself in Spanish culture and honed...

...teaching, students and education. I like to impart this enthusiasm for learning to my students through positive interactions, questioning and investigating, and applying skills as they are learned. I enjoy online teaching and learning, and find this a viable and fun way of teaching. I teach with goals that are attainable and curriculum based, while offering strategies that are effective and relevant. I make learning accessible, explicit, engaging, relevant, level-appropriate and fun.... My philosophy of teaching...

...Chicago majoring in Environmental Engineering. My first tutoring experience was volunteering at my high school to help my classmates with math and reading subjects. I loved it because I got to make so many new friends while also helping them achieve their academic goals. Thanks to those students, I have learned to think of topics in new ways and apply that to my tutoring. I look forward to talking to you soon!

...Bachelor of Science with a minor in Financial Management. I received my Master of Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle. I believe the key to academic success is a mix of attitude, support, and the tools that work for the individual student. It is my firm belief that the Tutor needs to approach each individual student with the appropriate methods and processes that suit them best, and seeks to let them achieve their goals in a positive...

...I believe everyone is a writer and has the power to communicate their own unique ideas effectively. While I mainly tutor writing, I am also eager to expand my teaching skills into more English Literature and Book Club subjects to share my passion for and knowledge the power of reading. My ultimate goal is to become an English Literature professor and I'm so grateful to grow as an educator with Varsity Tutors! I look forward...

...offer objective feedback without diminishing the confidence of the student. I also love helping young writers find their voice! I'm a firm believer that you don't have to give up your creative spark to get a certain grade; there is always a way to achieve both. Whether it's getting an A on an assignment or writing or a top-tier college admissions essay, I look forward to helping your student reach their goals!

...Minnesota with minors in math and astrophysics. Since then I've been working as a software engineer, primarily with Python and HTML/CSS/JavaScript. During college I enjoyed working as an algebra and geometry teaching assistant with the University of Minnesota Talented Youth Mathematics Program (after finishing the program myself), and since then I've continued to help math students after school and volunteered in coding workshops to teach kids about Python via computer-generated drawings and Minecraft modding. For...
