As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's in Music Education from Lebanon Valley College and a Bachelor's in English from Columbia College, I have over 2 years of tutoring experience in subjects such as Creative Writing, Essay Editing, and High School American Literature. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel confident to express their ideas and creativity. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet each student's unique needs, inspiring them to develop their writing and critical thinking skills. With more than 8 years of classroom experience and certification to teach in New Jersey, I am dedicated to helping students achieve their academic goals while instilling a lifelong love for learning. In my free time, I enjoy reading, horseback riding, and watching tennis.

I am a native speaker of Mandarin and Cantonese. I was born in China and moved to Hong Kong when I was 11 years old. I am fluent in Pinyin and both traditional and simplified Chinese characters. I came to the US as an exchange student when I was 15 and went to Ft. Madison, Iowa and graduated from Ft,. Madison Senior High School. I have a B.A. from Columbia College in Film and Video Production and I have traveled extensively.I have been teaching Mandarin for over 15 years. My students range from school age children, business professionals and language enthusiast. I have hands on experience in teaching children(form age 3 and up)--using poetry, rhymes and songs as powerful teaching tools. And to reinforce with fun engaging activities.The areas I can help you improve are Writing, Pinyin and Conversation/Speech. I emphasize on the correct tonal and pronunciation of words. The stroke order and Radical identification of words which is very important when using a dictionary. And to develop your unique personal style to communicate effectively. I will design the lesson according to your specific needs and will create materials to supplement the lesson to make it interesting and engaging. I believe in setting goals. And I will teach and help you in achieving these goals to gain confidence and to stay motivated.Most of all I enjoy teaching Chinese. It is a joy to be able to share my love for my language and culture with others. Learning a new language is exciting and challenging. To me its more than just grammar, sentence structure and endless memorization. It is an adventure. The reward of acquiring a new language is immeasurable, it brings new opportunities, broaden ones horizon and knowledge. And truly makes one a citizen of the world.

I graduated summa cum laude from Southern Methodist University in 2012. I received my Bachelor of Arts in political science and my Bachelor of Science in economics. After graduating, I immediately moved to New York City to attend Columbia Law School, where I will receive my JD in May, 2015. Throughout undergraduate, I regularly tutored economics, math, and statistics courses at the school's tutoring center, and helped several students to turn around their class performance. I also enjoy helping students prepare for standardized test, whether that be the SAT or the LSAT. Especially with regard to the SAT Math, I love helping students understand the various curveballs that CollegeBoard often throws, and assisting them in achieving better scores than they thought possible. I am also passionate about Texas Rangers baseball, and fill an inordinate amount of my free time with fantasy sports and statistical research on the sport.

As a teacher I believe in and follow two teaching philosophies: Love and Logic AND Growth Mindset. This ends up looking like it being very clear how much I love and care for my students while also pushing them to learn from the hard moments. While I am encouraging my students to do their best work, I am always reminding them that "we can do hard things." By keeping this in mind, it makes learning so much more fun! I love helping students have those light bulb moments. A little bit about me, I have been a working with kids for 20 years and teaching for 10 years. I received my undergraduate from Columbia College, SC and my partial Master's (for my learning disability teacher license add on) from Furman University. This means that I have a background in both general and special education, all at the elementary level. I love tutoring in reading, writing, math, and social/emotional best! In my free time, I love photography, reading, cooking, and spending time with my my husband and our cat.

I'm an undergraduate at Columbia College. I love tutoring students in math, German, SHSAT, and SAT. I believe that I have good communication and pedagogical skills, and a firm understanding of the subject matter. Having come from Germany at the age of eleven, I know the frustration that can come with feeling overwhelmed by coursework. I performed well on standardized exams like the SHSAT and the SAT and can teach test-taking skills that will ultimately lead students to institutions like Stuyvesant H.S. and Columbia.

I tutor securities licensing exam prep courses for NASAA & FINRA registrations (Series 6,7,63,65,66 and a few others).I own a financial practice, hold the Series 65 and a CRPC designation, and my experience, knowledge and research are current and relevant.

I am a firm believer in the concept of self-directed learning. To me, learning is not about memorizing facts and numbers (although I do love facts) but about creating your own experience. Learning truly becomes passion when it asks as much from the student as it gives back. My role as a tutor is to be a collaborator. I am here to challenge and help, but I am not here to direct the learning. That must come from the student. I truly believe that this approach leads to more passionate and better students.I am a professional improv coach and performer as well. I feel those skills help me be a better tutor. Flexibility is important in maximizing a students potential. I am also obsessed with historical non-fiction. I can talk history for hours.

I am a retired trial attorney with 43 years of experience, a recent five-year tutor, a published writer, and a life-long fan of young people. I have my theory of learning: the brain does not know the word "No Positivity above all. If you learn what to do, you will not do what not to do.."

I am a graduate of Columbia College Chicago and the University of Virginia. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Art & Design, and my Master's in Architectural History, with a focus on expatriate gardens in Tuscany. My work has taken me to multiple states and countries, from being a Teaching Assistant in Virginia and Texas, to tutoring children and high school students in Italy who wanted to learn and improve their English. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Art & Architectural History, Literature, and English. In my experience helping struggling students through projects, the most fun is in breaking down an assignment and looking into the interesting little details that make the larger project more fascinating or engaging. In my spare time, I enjoy napping, watching documentaries, and eating good food.

I am a current student at Columbia College majoring in English Editorial and Minoring in Communications. I have worked with students in grades 5-12 to improve their English, Writing, and Editing skills. I have also taught students grades 5-12 Spanish at varying levels of proficiency . I am extremely passionate in English, Writing, and Editing because it is an essential part of every students life which will help them later on with whatever they choose to do. I am also really invested in teaching student Spanish because it helps broaden their ability to communicate and adds to their skill set. I really believe in helping students grow and improve their work from wherever they currently are to areas they never thought possible. I want my students to take what they learn and apply it in both their school work and their everyday lives.

I received my bachelors and law degrees from Columbia University in New York. As an attorney who has lived and studied abroad, my teaching style is influenced by my broad experiences and big-picture mentality, understanding that students learn in different ways. I believe the most important thing in teaching is to frame the problem in a way that the student can understand what the bigger questions are, and to create their own frameworks to address issues without outside assistance. I also believe in encouraging consistent and efficient study habits so that students know how to study most effectively. Outside of work, I love to ballroom dance and explore the food scene in New York City.

I am currently studying at Columbia University and am excited to help others reach their academic goals on Varsity Tutors.

My goal is to help support students to do their very best! I love developing meaningful connections with students as we learn and grow. :)

What I love about Salesforce is that it levels the playing field. I came to Salesforce after 15 years in Christian ministry and am so thankful for the resources available to be able to pick up this new career rather quickly. One thing that I picked up in my years in the ministry is the love of teaching, and I believe teaching others the fundamentals of Salesforce is a way that I can "pay it forward" for all I've received from the Salesforce ecosystem.

Certified Teacher | Grades 18 Math & Reading Tutor | Intervention Specialist Hi! My name is Claire, and I am a certified teacher with experience working with students in grades 1 through 8. I specialize in math and reading intervention, helping students build confidence, strengthen foundational skills, and close learning gaps. I have experience teaching middle school, working in reading intervention, and running my own tutoring business, Miss Arnold's Tutoring Table. I enjoy creating engaging lessons that meet students where they are while making learning feel encouraging and manageable. I especially enjoy helping students who may struggle with confidence, attention, reading fluency, foundational math skills, or test preparation. My goal is always to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and celebrating progress.

Striving to reduce language barriers in education. Growing-up as a twin, I spent the early part of my life communicating in a self-made language that has since been forgotten. After years of speech therapy, I can form the sounds of the English language proficiently. Later in my education, I began to learn Spanish, American Sign Language, and Portuguese. In a previous role, I would converse with my Hispanic colleagues in Spanish to expand my vocabulary. Prior to the pandemic, I attended Deaf Night Out in Columbus, OH, to participate in the deaf community. Lastly, I visited Sao Paulo, Brazil, where my conversational Portuguese improved.I am not a language tutor. I never plan to be. I want to create an environment for clients of different language abilities to feel accepted as I guided them to better understanding in the subjects of mathematics and chemistry.During my undergraduate studies, I tutored for 2.5 years in the math and chemistry departments.

I've been lucky to have attended some fine educational institutions, though I don't come from the kind of background where such opportunities can be taken for granted. I believe every student should have the same opportunities as I've had, and I want to do everything I can to make those opportunities available to every student.

I am passionate about helping students recognize that learning is a lifelong journey, one that continues even after graduation as we share our knowledge with others. With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in guiding high school, college, and adult learners in achieving their academic goals, particularly in English and Spanish. Tutoring in Spanish holds a special place for me as it is my native language, and I aim to empower my students to communicate effectively in Spanish-speaking countries. I hold two master's degreesone in Business Administration and another in Health Administrationfrom Webster University, along with a bachelor's degree in General Studies with a minor in Education from Columbia College. My teaching philosophy is straightforward: "Teaching is a lifelong learning process that involves new philosophies and strategies, learning from parents, the community, colleagues, and students alike."

I have taught in Inner City Chicago, the City of Rockford, Il, Florida and Puerto Rico. During my Teaching Career, I was nominated 3 times for a Golden Apple Award. Also through out my teaching career , I have always had a passion to work with children, either tutoring or directing After School Tutoring Programs. Every child has the ability to learn, we just have to provide he/she with the correct tools to succeed. Obtuve mi Licenciatura en Artes de la Universidad Mundial ubicada en Hato Rey, Puerto Rico.

Cada nino tiene la capacidad de aprender, solo tenemos que proporcionarle las herramientas correctas para que tenga xito.

Helping students is my passion because nothing beats the moment when a student says, "I understand" or "I know how to do this!" and it is clear that meaningful learning has taken place. Throughout most of my teaching career I have worked with students who have been challenged by learning and who have needed some one to one or small group remediation and instruction. I earned a B.A. Degree in Elementary Education and a Me.D. in Divergent Learning at Columbia College in South Carolina. Additionally, I earned a Me.D. in Curriculum and Instruction from the American College of Education in Illinois. The subjects I can tutor include most elementary subjects and middle school subjects including math. My favorite subjects to tutor would be reading, because I enjoy it so much, and math, because I have taught math for more than several years. My teaching philosophy is simple. It is important to help students learn academically but it is also important to get to know the students that you are working with. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, crocheting, reading and going to the beach.

I am a graduate of Columbia College of Missouri. I received my Bachelor of General Studies with a minor in Elementary Education. Later, I attended my alma mater to obtain my Master of Arts in Teaching. Since graduation, I worked as a third-grade teacher in Scottsdale, Arizona teaching students of diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, stories and abilities, tailoring my instruction to meet their individual learning needs, and ensuring an inclusive, supportive environment for all learners. During my time as an elementary teacher, I tutored small groups of students in reading and math, as well as prepared those students for their state standardized assessments. While I have experience tutoring children in reading and math, I also have the knowledge and skill to tutor in other subjects/learning opportunities such as study skills, organizational skills, writing, and more. As a former teacher, my goal is to teach the material in a way that is not only engaging, but also varied. I enjoy using different teaching methods and strategies to get a concept across such as whole-body movement, pictures, written notes, and repetition to name a few. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my toddler and husband, reading thriller books, watching college football (go Ole Miss!) and catching up with friends over coffee.

I am a graduate of Columbia College where Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education. Additionally I received a Master in Education degree from Lesley University. I have been a teacher for 18 years. 14 of those years, I devoted my time in the classroom as a full time teacher. The most recent 4 years I transitioned to being a Math Interventionist. Being a teacher has been a rewarding experience for me. Knowing that I have helped shape and nurture students has filled my heart with joy and contentment. Most recently as a Math Interventionist, I was able to work 1:1 or in a small group with students. Also, I was able to tailor lessons to meet their learning needs and help them build and enhance their number sense/fluency. Many students were afraid to struggle or make mistakes. I help to build their confidence and reassured them that mathematicians will make mistake and struggle from time to time. My job as an educator has always been to motivate students to become independent thinkers and confident learners. These are the qualities they need to have in order to be successful individuals in society.

I have a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Management, a Masters Degree in Education and currently I am on a hiatus from my Doctoral program of Higher Education and Adult Learning of which I have two courses including a research course and project to complete, prayerfully I will return to complete the program soon.I am excited about where I am today, Education and serving in the community service is my passion, currently I work as an Educator in the North East area of Minneapolis.

I currently serve on the Board of First Step of Hope, Inc., as well as President-Elect of the North Minneapolis Rotary Club and Minneapolis Dept. of Health; Community Action Network Committee.I have a passion for Education I happen to believe it is the key to open doors for a successful life and self fulfillment.

I am nearing my Senior year as an English Major at Columbia College. For years now I have been passionate about all things Englishputting words down effectively (and beautifully) on paper, reading classic (and sometimes not-so-classic) literature, and mastering the nuts and bolts of the language. My goal as a tutor is (obviously) to help you understand and master these subjects adequately enough to pass your test or class, but also, I hope to inspire in each student an appreciation for this amazing language and unlock the tools necessary to allow students to face future writing/reading/English-involving situations with confidence and skill.For several years I taught privately as a violin teacher, and since violin is considered one of (if not the) most challenging instruments to learn, this experience gave me valuable lessons in teaching patiently and creatively. Each student and academic situation are unique, and as such, requires varying teaching methods. I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach, but instead, strive to meet each student where they are and adapt the content to fit each students learning needs and preferences.Some of my other interests include traveling the globe, running long distance, all things outdoors (kayaking, camping, horseback riding, and the like), spending time with my family, and watching baseball (Go Royals!).

To help students gain a proper understanding of the subject material and gain confidence in their abilities.

I am a graduate of Columbia College in Missouri. I received my Bachelor of Science in Management and Finance. I have been working in the accounting and tax industry for my entire career.

I am a Marine Corps Veteran that has turned her focus into teaching/tutoring/mentoring. I majored in Psychology. I have tutored children from all types of backgrounds and grades pre-k-12. I have even worked with children with special needs to include: Autism, and ADHD. I believe every student learns at their own pace and they are all capable of improving. I'm looking forward to helping students succeed in school.
