My name is Aki and I joined Varsity Tutors because I enjoy learning about science and technology and sharing that gained knowledge with others in a way that will help them make positive differences in their lives.I have a Bachelor's Degree in Marine Science and a Master's Degree in Education. I taught science (middle schools science, high school biology, anatomy/physiology) for nearly ten years before a desire to change fields steered me into information technology. I still tutor in the areas of science, math, ELA, and offer test prep as well.To me, tutoring is even better than teaching in a classroom because you get a better chance to see growth, both in your student and in yourself.

I came to the United States from Puerto Rico right after high school. Back then, my English was limited, but I had the good fortune of meeting professors and tutors who spent some extra time with me and helped me succeed along the way. I graduated from the University of Dayton in Ohio with a major in Business Administration and a minor in Education. Because I saw the impact that people could have in students' lives, I decided I wanted to dedicate my life to teaching. I have been teaching for over 20 years, from junior high all the way to college, which is my current job. I like tutoring Spanish and ESL (we call it EAP at the college level English for Academic Purposes) since those are the subjects I teach. I am also passionate about Math, and although I do not have a degree in that subject, I have taken many courses at the college level for my own personal enrichment. I believe that learning from a teacher and from a tutor is the perfect combination for many students who need the extra time to process knowledge at their own speed and the right setting to feel secure about asking questions without being afraid.

I believe that teaching requires research, effort, dedication, and creativity. I believe, and have proven, that teaching is not simply the administration of material to students in a manner that they can grasp and become successful in the educational climate, but that teaching involves a great deal more. Teachers do not simply educate children in the knowledge of the world, but also mold personalities and the characteristics of our future society

I am looking forward to working with students again! I was a teacher/tutor for several years before beginning my family 2 years ago. My husband and I recently had twin girls and then a little boy so I have taken a break from the 9-5 scene for a bit. I miss teaching and working with students and I am excited to get back into the world of education. Helping students understand different topics in math (specifically) is my passion and I look forward to working with new students to help them gain confidence and comfort with any areas they are seeking help with.

As a lifelong learner, I believe access to high-quality education is a right of every individual. As such, I desire to meet and exceed learners' expectations. Through fun and engaging sessions, I help make seemingly complex topics into easy-to-understand concepts.

Nothing is more rewarding than helping someone make a connection, learn something new or difficult, or see how they apply this new understanding. Some information can be dry, scary, or very difficult to learn, but I believe that learning should not only be productive but also enjoyable.

As a passionate educator with a PhD in Nursing Education from Capella University, I firmly believe that no question is irrelevant. My experience of over 5 years in both tutoring and classroom settings has taught me that curiosity is the cornerstone of learning. I specialize in Anatomy & Physiology, Nursing, Pharmacology, and UK A Level Psychology, and I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and explore complex concepts. My teaching philosophy centers on connecting with students through relatable examples and real-world applications, fostering a deeper understanding of the material. I am dedicated to helping my students succeed and am continually motivated by their progress and achievements.

I've taught all math levels from 6th grade math to Algebra 1. I've also tutored previous students of mine in Geometry and Algebra 2. I LOVE Algebra 1. My passion is to show my students how each math concept relates to one another and build a strong math foundation for wherever the path leads!

I find joy in helping students meet their educational needs and helping them succeed wherever their learning takes them. As Albert Einstein indicated, "Education is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think." To think about your thinking is the key to education and represents my goal as a tutor. You see, critical-thinking is the pathway to engaged learning.

I earned a Master of Science in Human Services, with a specialization in Social and Community Services from Capella University. I also earned a Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitation Services from Wright State University.I have worked with families from all walks of life. Many of the families have been resource rich in very unique ways, but have lived in under-resourced areas. At times, such challenges made it difficult for parents to make sure that basic needs were met, which oftentimes had an impact on the learning process of their children - and additional support systems were needed.In previous roles such as Early Childhood Educator, Tutor, School Based Program Coordinator, Community Based Program Coordinator, and Assistant Camp Director, I worked to get to the root of challenges and helped families and children to move to their next level - whatever that meant for each family- by linking them to resources, or serving as an additonal resource. I most enjoyed building relationships, learning about each individual's strengths, and nurturing interests. I also enjoyed teaching families and children the importance of accountability and helping them to visualize, and embrace, their future story.While I have a broad range of experiences, I am most passionate about nurturing students who are interested in learning Spanish, and those who need support with building better study skills and organizational skills. I believe that everyone has the ability to make improvements. My goal with students is to identify what they do know, and understand, and build on that - brick by brick- focusing on progress, not perfection in helping them to reach their goals.

I love learning and feel that learning is an ongoing process. We should be learning something new each day. For that reason and more, I enjoy teaching and learning from those individuals that I tutor and teach. I find that there are so many opportunities to share viable information that can be life changing for those on the receiving end. Informative, fun, engaging and interactive are four ingredients you will get from a session with me. Hopefully, this will help you to retain the information better.

I view teaching as an opportunity to make learning joyful and meaningful. I design lessons that spark laughter, creativity, and connection, because students learn best when they feel comfortable and inspired. By meeting learners where they are and encouraging them to trust their abilities, I help them develop confidence that extends far beyond the classroom.

I have been in education since 2003 and taught in the public school system for the last 16 years as a classroom teacher, and 4 years abroad in China and Thailand. My teacher certifications are in General Education, Special education, and English as a Second Language. I also have a Masters Degree in Education Administration and Leadership. I received my Bachelor's from Texas State University, Teaching Certificates through Huston-Tillotson University, and Master's Degree from Capella University. I have taught 3rd grade for 16 years, and one-year as a 4th grade Science and Social Studies teacher. My philosophy of education is that all students can learn. I believe through motivation and hard work students will achieve, when high standards are set and students receive consistent feedback.

As a Navy Veteran, tutor, and Certified Life Coach, I am passionate about helping students unlock their full potential through personalized learning strategies.

I am always overjoyed when my students that would only write a few sentences in the beginning of the school year can produce five-paragraph essays towards the middle of the school term. In between summers, I have tutored students on ACT and SAT preparation with emphasis on the Reading and Writing components. Nervous and anxious test takers leave my tutoring sessions feeling like victors! I am excited to working with your child in preparing them for either academic or test prep victories.

The abilities and levels of students in such courses as literature, reading, writing, public speaking, dance, and other forms of expressive art greatly varies and it is the responsibility of the teacher to provide motivating and stimulating leadership efforts to help put aside such frustrations, allowing them to experience the class in order to unlock their unknown potential. These subjects can provide individuals at any age, the ability to keep themselves mentally, physically, and spiritually healthy, but it takes a dedicated teacher to lead their participants toward this path of well-being. They must understand the role they are required to take as they commit themselves to the consistent work and dedication involved in this reciprocal relationship. Teachers must follow Situational, Transformational, and Participative leadership models if they hope to be successful in their teaching strategies. These three leadership models can have a direct effect on the relationship between teachers and their students. Hopefully, beneficial properties of such a program could be recognized by participants so they will continue practing their skills outside of this unique educative setting. Advocacy for the use of movement practices to teach other forms of academic subject matter is another favorable point that can be taken when connecting the value of engaged learning within these leadership models. Bowie (2000) conveys that educational goals that are successful are usually based on a reciprocal relationship between teacher and student. Instead of being coerced into learning, Bowie states that students should be influenced and 'treated as joint seekers of the truth'. This notion of thinking for oneself helps develop educational independence that could promote personal responsibility. Motivation and performance in dance education is an extremely important relationship among teacher and student (Lazaroff, 2001). Lazaroff explores several meanings of the term "performance" in reference to both dance and general education by linking those meanings to current theories of human motivation. As seen in dance in education, Lazaroff explains that various aspects of performance can be understood as decisive components of education programs in a variety of fields, contained in and out of the performing arts. Morton, Keith, and Beauchamp (2010) illustrate how individualized consideration gives teachers the ability to promote inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and idealized influence. Morton, Keith, and Beauchamp express how this is transformational leadership because it is an effective way to inspire, empower, and challenge students to achieve higher levels of functioning. Morton, Keith, and Beauchamp support that individualized consideration takes the time to truly recognize the individual needs of others by celebrating their personal achievements and displaying a sense of genuine care and concern for their well-being. By energizing and inspiring others to go beyond minimally accepted standards, Morton, Keith, and Beauchamp believe that leaders such as teachers who utilize inspirational motivation communicate high expectations from the beginning. Intellectual stimulation promotes the contribution of new and alternative ideas by empowering students to disregard conventional ways of learning and embrace the unknown. Ultimately, my viewpoint is that the goal of a teacher is to completely involve and engage their students in their learning to unlock their creative potential. Therefore, it is a reciprocal relationship that requires both the students and their teachers to work together to learn through a stimulating and commitment based partnership guided by the situational, transformational, and participative leadership models.
