I am currently working on my masters of education with an emphasis on natural science and environmental education at Hamline University.I am in my fifth year as a science teacher, and I have many years of tutoring experience. I have tutored math (up to algebra 2), Spanish, and a variety of biology classes at the high school and college level.I really enjoy tutoring algebra since I enjoy the satisfaction of solving problems and recognizing patterns. I am also a big fan of astronomy and earth science as these subjects help us appreciate the vastness of our universe while also helping to make since of its complex processes.I like to use lots of questions and examples in tutoring as I believe learning is most meaningful when it is connected to your own experiences.When not teaching or tutoring, I love to spend time with my two adorable cats, Toph and Iroh, or go for a hike and discover a new trail.

Lisa
College English Tutor • +9 Subjects
I am a graduate of Kent State University with a Bachelors of Science in Secondary Education, majoring in English and Theater. I also graduated from The National Shakespeare Conservatory's two-year actor training program, and studied acting at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and completed the Screenwriting program at New York University. Originally from the Cleveland area, I have been in New York for more than 20 years, working extensively in the entertainment and legal industries. I teach acting, voice, and movement to teens and adults, having worked at CUNY's York College in Queens, Manhattan's Breakthrough Studios, as well as private instruction. I did employee training and evaluation in the legal industry for 15 years, and currently provide contract services to companies upgrading their computer systems. While I tutor a broad rangeof subjects, I am most passionate about acting and writing. People are more creative and expressive than they give themselves credit for, and I love helping a student of any age discover that they do, in fact, have what it takes for acting, public speaking, writing, or any other form of creative expression. My approach starts with what the student already knows, and then pushes her or him outside of the comfort zone to discover previously unrealized creativity. This approach works well in other subject areas also, helping students to think outside the box and use creative problem solving abilities for subjects not traditionally thought of as "creative." In my spare time I enjoy writing screenplays, playing my ukulele (I have two of them!) and performing with my friends at karaoke.

I am pursuing a B.S. in Mathematics at Indiana University Southeast. I have 10 years of unofficial tutoring experience and 5 years of official tutoring/teaching experience.I thoroughly enjoy helping others learn and see their true potential. By giving a student the support, encouragement, resources, and information to excel, I hope to make a positive difference in such a way that will allow them to take that information and apply to other areas in life, so that they may succeed and achieve whatever personal or academic goals they have set out for themselves.As I finish my last year in college, I have realized a few common characteristics that make the human condition a beautiful concept if given the right perspective. The first is that all people are unique and individual in their own right. No one person or student is like the other. We all think differently, learn differently, apply ourselves differently, and try to adapt to the ever changing world around us differently. The same concept can be said for learning. It is in the individual and unique approach that each student has when it comes to learning something challenging or new that I take the most pride in being apart of. I realize that as a teacher or tutor I am no more than a tiny fraction of the greater picture for a student's current and future life. However, I do not take that tiny fraction for granted.As a tutor I try to do everything within my ability to help a student excel in their academic life as a means to helping them excel in other areas of their life. If I can be just a tiny yet positive and supportive fraction of the bigger picture that makes each and every student I work with so beautiful and valuable regardless of where they start or what walk of life they come from, then I have done my job as a tutor and mentor.Secondly, I have realized that everyone makes mistakes. In school, making mistakes is a fundamental part of learning. Not only do these mistakes help us to define areas in which we need improvement, but they also allow us, as a collective body of self propelled learners, to truly appreciate a concept once it is understood. Mistakes, whether in school or in our personal life do not by any means define us. What does define us however is our attitude and approach to how we respond to these mistakes. I truly believe that by encouraging the student to be unafraid to make mistakes when learning something new, the student will then begin to see a problem from a more objective perspective and will allow themselves to slowly but surely embrace subjects, concepts, and challenges that they might not have otherwise approached or felt competent at out of fear of making a mistake. If we never make mistakes then we never learn.In addition to realizing mistakes are valuable and necessary lessons, I have learned that grades are not everything. Though grades, especially in today's society, are very important, they do not define an academic student. In my opinion, it is more important that a student at the very least progresses from where they originated from. For example, say a student truly knows the information but on the day of the test they always seem to space out or go blank. But, if you ask the same student in casual conversation about a subject when they aren't being graded and evaluated, chances are they will be able to relay accurate and insightful information. It could be the case that this student has test anxiety or may not be good test takers, which is okay! In such cases, this often means that a student may have to learn how to take a specific test versus what is on the test. But it would be an unfair representation of that student to simply say that just because their test grades do not reflect test expectations, that they are thus not knowledgeable about the subject at hand. In all, grades are a very small percentage of what makes a student a studious and hard working student.In conjunction, everyone learns at a different rate. Some students are slower learners than others. That does not mean that they are any less intelligent than the student who turned in the assignment first or raised their hand first. I have observed, even of myself, that slow learners simply learn a subject at a deeper level than those who appear to be quick to understand a concept. Often though, once they grasp the concept, they are capable of retaining it for longer periods of time that those who are faster to learn a concept. Though this is a generalization, it is an important one to understand in the sense that just because you need or want a tutor does not mean that you as a student are any less valuable or intelligent than those who may not need a tutor.Whether it be a small concept such as learning how to count by two's or a more abstract concept such as learning why a formula works the way it does, once that understanding of such concept has been achieved you can use that knowledge to help better not only your grades but hopefully other areas in your life as well. As a tutor, I tailor my teaching techniques to match the student's rate at which they learn, with the goal that as they begin to understand the material, the rate at which it is applied becomes easier for the student through time and practice.I sincerely look forward to working with each and every student I encounter, as I believe that each student, is uniquely intelligent and worthy of the satisfaction that is achieved when one reaches their individual academic goals and objectives.

I have been a licensed nurse for 9 years and a registered nurse for 2 years. I graduated in May of 2020 from Delaware County Community College. I currently work as a transplant case manager, and am back in school to obtain my BSN by way of Chamberlain University. As a former and current student, I am well versed in NCLEX , NCLEX prep, test taking skills, building good study habits and how to stay organized. I have taken the NCLEX twice , once for my LPN and once for my RN. I passed both tests on the first attempt. I do not consider myself a genius, but I know how to study and how to answer test questions to pass just about any test, even when you don't know the answer. I know the stress of test taking. I am most passionate about teaching study tools, habits and organization to pass the NCLEX. Let me help you on your journey in pursuing all your goals.

Business Tutor • +8 Subjects
I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, and went to high school at Montgomery Bell Academy. I completed my Bachelor of Business Administration dual major degree at University of Georgia in the International Business and Finance with a minor in Spanish in May 2015. As evidenced by my majors, I have a passion for international business, having experienced the geo-political and economic landscape via overseas educational opportunities. This unique perspective has broadened my academic horizons and personal development to areas far outside the classroom, equipping me with valuable skills in today’s increasingly global environment.My international interests and travels have instilled the ability to learn and adapt quickly, as well as apply knowledge and language skills effectively and efficiently. In addition to the completion of my Spanish minor, an educational trip to Costa Rica and summer classes in Spain have provided me with communication skills and a thorough understanding of different cultures.My qualified experience includes an internship with a premier real estate fund manager that has proved crucial to my development in areas of finance, and business organizations, organizational delegation and personal responsibility. Additionally, my internship with US Congressman Jim Cooper greatly expanded my knowledge and perspective of current affairs both domestic and abroad, and how they affect our national policies. Finally, 80 hours of tutoring experience in many different subjects at the Boys and Girls Club in Athens, GA has sparked my interest in motivating, teaching, and mentoring students from 8-18 years old.I am confident that my academic experiences and qualifications in Finance, Spanish and International Business have provided me with a unique opportunity and skill-set that I can pass on to others in a way that is easy to understand for students of all ages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Preschool focuses on foundational skills across multiple areas: social-emotional development (sharing, listening, following directions), early literacy (letter recognition, phonemic awareness, print concepts), math foundations (counting, sorting, shapes, patterns), fine motor skills (writing, cutting, drawing), and gross motor development (running, climbing, balance). Age-appropriate expectations vary by program, but most preschoolers develop basic self-care skills, expand vocabulary rapidly, and begin understanding how to learn collaboratively. A great preschool experience helps children feel confident, curious, and ready for kindergarten.
In a classroom, teachers work with 15-20+ children at varying levels, so pacing and activities are designed for the group. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, tutors adapt completely to your child's pace, interests, and learning style—whether your child needs more time with letters, extra practice with social skills, or enrichment in areas they're excelling. Tutors can redirect immediately, celebrate small wins, and adjust activities in real-time based on engagement. This focused attention helps children who struggle with transitions, benefit from repetition, or need confidence-building in specific areas.
The best preschool tutors combine patience, creativity, and genuine enthusiasm for working with young learners. They understand child development, use play-based learning (since preschoolers learn best through play), manage behavior with positive reinforcement, and communicate clearly with parents about progress. They're also flexible—able to pivot when a child loses interest, celebrate effort over perfection, and build strong relationships that make children feel safe and excited to learn. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who bring both expertise in early childhood development and a real passion for this age group.
Yes. Many preschoolers struggle with transitions between activities, sharing, managing emotions, or listening to directions—and personalized support can make a real difference. Tutors can work on these skills through structured play, modeling, positive reinforcement, and repetition in a low-pressure environment. They can also help your child practice specific situations (like saying goodbye to a parent, waiting for a turn, or expressing feelings with words) in ways that feel safe and manageable. Regular 1-on-1 time often builds confidence and emotional regulation skills that transfer to the classroom.
Most families notice shifts in confidence and engagement within 2-4 weeks of consistent personalized instruction. Measurable progress in specific skills—like letter recognition, counting, or following multi-step directions—often emerges within 4-8 weeks, depending on your child's starting point and tutoring frequency. Consistency matters: weekly sessions typically show steadier progress than sporadic ones. Keep in mind that preschoolers develop unevenly (a child might suddenly "get" letters after weeks of exposure), so patience and celebrating small wins are key. Your tutor will keep you updated on what they're observing and adjusting.
The best approach combines both. Play-based learning is how preschoolers naturally develop—through building, pretend play, exploring, and games—so great tutors embed academic skills (letters, counting, vocabulary) into play. A tutor might build letter recognition into a treasure hunt, teach counting through a cooking activity, or practice listening skills through a story-based game. This keeps learning joyful and developmentally appropriate while still building foundational skills. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand that for preschoolers, play is the work.
Consider tutoring if your child is showing signs like difficulty focusing, struggling to recognize letters or numbers despite exposure, avoiding certain activities (writing, group participation), falling behind peers in communication, or if you want extra support during a transition (new school, new sibling). Tutoring can also benefit children who are advanced and need enrichment, or those who just need a confidence boost. The best time to reach out is early—preschool is foundational, and personalized support now can set a positive trajectory for learning. Varsity Tutors can help assess whether tutoring is a good fit and match you with a tutor who understands your child's specific needs.
