Charles

AP US History Tutor • +35 Subjects

I am thrilled to bring my successful experience as an educator, vast subject knowledge and passion for teaching to Varsity Tutors. I possess a Master's Degree in Education from Hofstra University as well as an Advanced Certification in School Leadership from SUNY Stony Brook. In addition my professional credentials include New York State teaching certification in Social Studies (7-9), NYS School Building Leadership and NYS School District Leadership. I have taught social studies for ten years including courses in American History and Government (Regents), AP USH and Civics.I went into teaching because I wanted to change the world. I know this sounds overly idealistic but I have managed to realize this mission. You see changing the world is not the monumental task it seems. What I have found is that when I help one student to learn than I have changed the world. When this learning enables my student to take another step towards realizing their potential than I have changed the world. As an educator this has always been my mission and I am pleased to continue it with Varsity Tutors.

John

Algebra Tutor • +6 Subjects

I received my degree in Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University at IUPUI in Indianapolis. I have worked countless hours with classmates and friends tutoring them to prepare for exams and class projects. I currently tutor pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. I love tutoring Trigonometry best because trig comes up countless times in engineering and it is now somewhat dear to my heart; however, Algebra is just as important since it is the building block towards something greater. My tutoring philosophy is that learning should be fun. The more you know, the stronger you are as a person. Learning shouldn't be a tedious exercise but an empowering tool. When I tutor, I attempt to inspire, to show the big picture and why this stuff matters by using real world examples that students can relate to. Education aside, I'm sure we have a lot in common. I'm a pretty normal guy who enjoys his down time. I like sci-fi movies and books, video games, biking, and hanging out with my friends. I think school and academics are very important; however, having fun and knowing who you are are just as crucial.

Emma

ACT Math Tutor • +20 Subjects

Hello! My name is Emma and I'm 23 years old. My tutoring experience began in high school when I tutored elementary, middle, and high school-aged students in math, Spanish, and language arts. In math specifically, I've tutored students in pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, and have experience working with students who have fear and/or low self-confidence in math. During college, in addition to completing a math minor, I tutored undergraduate and graduate students in statistics. I've also worked as a college instructor, and am familiar with learning processes. If needed, I can provide a reference from a family I've helped to tutor.Outside of my tutoring experience, I have a goal to run a 5K in every state in the U.S. with my mom! We have checked off 27 states so far! I also enjoy knitting, cooking, and reading!I'd love to be considered to tutor for you! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about me or my experience!

Taneka

IB Biology Tutor • +4 Subjects

My students would probably describe me as scientifically sound, passionate, energetic, creative, strict and diplomatic. I hold all of my students accountable and expect them to leave my classes understanding their material down to a Cellular and Molecular level.My background is Science, Research, Education and Fashion Design. I graduated with a B.S. (2003) and M.S. (2007) in Molecular, Cellular and Microbial Biology. I completed my thesis in an Immunology lab that focused on the introduction of immunological cells, such as T-Cells, Dendritic Cells and Macrophages. I analyzed my results through many arrays of mRNA and Protein analysis; such as Real-Time PcR, Western Blots, Immunohistochemistry, and FACs Analysis. I then pursued a Ph.D at Northwestern University in 2006. During this time, I published the results of my Prostate Cancer research surrounding Developmental Biology at the Robert H. Lurie Research Center of Children's Memorial Hospital. After leaving the Ph.D. Program, I began teaching Biology courses at C.S.U. This led me back to school to complete a M.A.T. and Secondary Teaching Certificate at National-Louis University. I then taught for Chicago Public Schools from Middle School to Senior Level, alongside of teaching Biology courses for City Colleges of Chicago. After the major turn-around that occurred for CPS in 2013, I decided to expand upon my Fashion Engineering skills and enroll in a Fashion Design Program. I recently completed my B.F.A. in Fashion Design this past March (2016). Fashion Design has led me into designing, drafting and sewing my own collections; along with working for a modern-day, British, shirt-making company focusing on Visuals, Operations and Sales."The unseen threads that link us together sustain our existence, explain our connections, and define our destiny." ~T.s. Douglas, 2016

Ahmani

Algebra Tutor • +3 Subjects

I am a junior at the University of North Florida. I am a double major, my first major being Math Education with a concentration in grades 6-12 and my second major being Mathematics.Math has always been my strong suit and I have always loved helping people with their math. However, being a math teacher was not my first career choice. Before college, I thought of being an OBGYN, right before I went to college, I changed my mind to be an Athletic Trainer.I finally decided to change my major to Math Education after helping 3 friends pass their college math classes. And after my first official tutoring gig, I decided to add the second major, Mathematics, so that I can get a deeper concept of math.Currently, I work at Panera Bread and also the UNF Preschool. Although I will keep both jobs, I want to tutor to really get that experience of helping different students with their math, as each student is different and may need different teaching styles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Third graders learning French typically find verb conjugation challenging, especially distinguishing between present tense forms of regular -er, -ir, and -re verbs. Many students also struggle with gendered nouns and adjective agreement, since English doesn't require this precision. Additionally, pronunciation of nasal vowels (on, an, in, un) and the French 'r' sound trips up beginners, while vocabulary retention becomes harder as lesson complexity increases beyond basic classroom topics like colors and numbers.

In a typical classroom, each student gets only minutes of actual speaking time per lesson. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, a tutor can dedicate the entire session to conversation practice, correction, and confidence-building—allowing students to speak naturally without the anxiety of peer judgment. Tutors can also tailor speaking exercises to your child's current level, whether that's simple present-tense descriptions or more complex storytelling, and provide immediate feedback on pronunciation and grammar in real conversation.

The most effective approach balances both: explicit grammar instruction helps students understand patterns (like why 'je suis' means 'I am' while 'j'ai' means 'I have'), while conversational practice builds intuition for how French actually sounds and flows. A skilled tutor introduces grammar rules in context—explaining verb conjugation while practicing real sentences—rather than drilling isolated rules. This combination helps third graders internalize patterns faster and retain vocabulary more effectively than either approach alone.

Tutors can break down French pronunciation into manageable pieces, teaching mouth positioning for sounds that don't exist in English—like the guttural 'r' (produced in the throat rather than with the tongue) and nasal vowels. Through repeated modeling, listening exercises, and corrective feedback during conversation, students gradually train their ears and mouth to replicate these sounds. Many tutors also use techniques like shadowing (repeating after the tutor immediately) and recording practice to help students hear their own progress and adjust.

Spaced repetition—reviewing words at increasing intervals—is far more effective than cramming, and tutors can build this into lessons by revisiting vocabulary from previous sessions in new contexts. Connecting words to images, gestures, or personal experiences also strengthens memory; for example, learning 'le chat' (the cat) becomes stickier when a tutor acts out cat behaviors or relates it to a student's own pet. Tutors can also encourage students to use new vocabulary in sentences immediately, which activates deeper learning than passive review.

Beyond vocabulary and grammar, tutors can weave in cultural context—teaching songs, games, or holiday traditions that make French feel alive and relevant rather than abstract. Some tutors use authentic children's media, simple French stories, or cultural discussions to build listening comprehension while exposing students to how French speakers actually communicate. This cultural immersion helps third graders understand that French is a living language spoken by real people, not just a school subject, which boosts motivation and retention.

Look for tutors with native or near-native French fluency, teaching experience with elementary-age learners, and familiarity with age-appropriate teaching methods that balance grammar instruction with conversational practice. Tutors should understand common third-grade learning challenges—like how children's short attention spans require varied activities—and be able to explain grammar concepts clearly without overwhelming young learners. Experience with different proficiency levels is also valuable, since some third graders are beginners while others may have prior exposure to French.

Tutors should provide regular feedback on specific skills—noting improvements in pronunciation, verb conjugation accuracy, or vocabulary recall—rather than vague comments. Parents can also listen for tangible signs of progress: increased willingness to speak French aloud, correct use of new vocabulary in sentences, or ability to understand simple French instructions. Setting clear, measurable goals at the start (like 'master present tense of 10 common verbs' or 'confidently introduce yourself in French') makes progress easier to recognize and celebrate.
