This will be my sixth year teaching middle school math. I have always had a love for numbers and a passion for helping children. Teaching has been a very fulfilling and purposeful career. I enjoy the opportunity to guide students to having a greater mathematical understanding by relating concepts to the real world.

I hold a Bachelor's in Psychology from Florida International University. With over 2 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in Algebra, Chemistry, and SAT Math, focusing primarily on high school and college students, including those preparing for nursing school. My teaching philosophy emphasizes fostering independence and confidence in my students; I believe that with the right encouragement, every student can unlock their potential. I utilize a hands-on approach, often incorporating problem-solving techniques that allow students to engage actively with the material. I find great satisfaction in helping students overcome challenges in subjects like chemistry, where they often feel overwhelmed. My passion for education extends beyond tutoring, as I continually explore innovative teaching methods to enhance learning. I am eager to contribute to Varsity Tutors and help even more students achieve academic success.

Hello, My name is Alejandra Borges Duran and I just started using the Varsity Tutors platform in May 2022.I graduated from University in December 2021 with a B.S. Biological Sciences and a B.A. in Natural and Applied Sciences. During my time at University, I also received a minor in Chemistry.I have always loved the subject of Biology and have loved helping others learn it throughout my time at University as a peer leader and peer mentor.Currently, I am available for tutoring in Biology and IB Biology. I look forward to helping students meet their goals and succeed in their classes.

I am a recent graduate of Florida International University (FIU) and have attained my Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education. I am currently working on my prerequisites so I can continue working for my Master's in Speech Language Pathology. I first discovered tutoring while attending college. I would assist the children of nearby neighbors and I discovered the joy of helping a student finally realize their own talent for learning. I was able to teach them the knowledge that they needed and they were able to teach me both experience and how to adapt my teaching methods to the needs of the student. I teach a broad variety of subjects, but my favorite subject to tutor is mathematics. Math has always been a passion of mine and I like to try and pass on that passion and appreciation of the subject. In doing so, the goal is to teach students that math is not impossible, but within their reach if given enough support. In terms of a teaching philosophy or tutoring style, there is no one way to learn, and therefore, students should be provided multiple ways and entry points to help them succeed and learn successfully. Outside of academics, I spend my time reading, biking, and exploring nature.

Perhaps the best word to describe my love for teaching and learning is PASSIONATE! Since I was seven years old, I knew I would become a teacher. After earning my Associates Degree at Broward College and then obtaining my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education at (FIU) Florida International University, I was fortunate enough to receive a full scholarship from FIU to earn my Master's Degree in Urban Education. It was only a matter of time before I aimed in pursuit of the highest degree one can earn, hence receiving my Doctoral Degree in Advanced Classroom Instruction Professional Studies from Capella University.With exposure to all Elementary School subjects, I have taught a little of everything from 1st grade to 2nd grade to 3rd grade to 4th grade. I even worked as an Educational Specialist for my school district at the time in Miami-Dade County, Florida. It wasn't until I started teaching at the High School level that I realized my true calling: Reading/Language Arts/ Grammar/Writing. The joy on my students' faces when they listened to themselves reading orally on tape and then compared that recording to the one that I had previously recorded of them at the beginning of the school year is to date my favorite experience as an educator.At present, I left the classroom and now tutor full-time. I tutor all elementary subjects (Grades K-5), as well as grades K through 12th in Reading/Language Arts/ Grammar/Writing.My favorite thing to do outside of tutoring is to write. I am proud to say that I have five children's books written and published.I believe in working hard, always trying, doing your best, challenging yourself, and making the best of every situation, and I apply those beliefs in how I teach/tutor. It is my job to teach you. It is your job to let me teach you so you can learn. Let's do this together.

As your tutor, I am dedicated to helping you master challenging scientific concepts by creating a supportive, personalized learning environment tailored specifically to your unique academic needs.

Whether you are preparing for an upcoming exam or working to improve your foundational understanding, I am here to provide the patience, expertise, and strategies necessary to help you bridge the gap between confusion and mastery.

Hi! My name is Hadeel, and I graduated summa cum laude from Florida International University with a bachelor's degree. While attending FIU, I participated in America Reads, where I worked with students in kindergarten through sixth grade to strengthen their reading and math skills. Since graduating, I have continued helping students grow through online tutoring. I truly enjoy getting to know each student and finding the teaching methods that work best for them. My goal is to create a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and building confidence in their abilities. I believe tutoring should be personalized, engaging, and focused on each student's unique needs and goals. Whether a student needs extra support, help preparing for a test, or an additional challenge, I work to create lessons that are both productive and enjoyable. I look forward to working with students and families through Varsity Tutors!

I'm deeply committed to interactive learning, leveraging hands-on activities and technology to engage students. By fostering curiosity and critical thinking, I create a dynamic learning environment that inspires students to reach their full potential.

I've taught as a Florida certified high school teacher and also tutored young as elementary children.Some of my students are dyslexic, under the umbrella of special needs, or don't even speak the same language as I do.No matter the child, because I am my energetic and youthful self, students can relate to me and are more in tuned to want to learn from me. If I have to speak to my student in meme, pop culture, or in the lingo of the latest social media trends, they will get my message.I spent my first year of education tutoring only students diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD at an intensive learning center, as the two are often paired. I was trained in methods such as Orton Gillingham and Linda Mood Bell that work better for this target group.The experience taught me plenty about multiple learning styles. Educators must strive to fully stimulate their students. Sometimes it requires triggering all senses and figuring which sense the child learns with best. Repetition of writing, saying, touching, and organizing letters & numbers in the form of chips, blocks, sand and various tactile mediums can make for the best results and sometimes none of this is needed. I, the teacher, have learned to be flexible in approach and to listen to my student the same way I expect him or her to listen to me. So when I teach, we both learn. And through this process, I maintain my youth.Tell me what your specific challenge is, whether it's a particular subject, organization,or just the need for a homework buddy when mom and dad don't have time.Let's see what we can work out

Do you even math? A question like this may bring to mind something like 'doing complicated calculations' or 'working out sums', but it is simply so much more. To me, mathematics is a language, explaining how our world works, such as why things exist as they do in geometrical space.

I am an expert writer, editor, and teacher with nearly fifteen years at the secondary and post-secondary levels of education with additional experience in curriculum development and educational assessment.Among the most satisfying experiences for me as an instructor has been my ability to galvanize students at all levels through a progressive and multi-disciplined approach to teaching. With experience teaching at both a small private university (Marian, Butler) as well as a large urban setting (Ivy Tech, IUPUI), as well as a year teaching Middle and High School Language Arts, I pride myself in keeping up with diverse learning styles. I am enthusiastic about the pedagogy of learning and am always open to new ideologies of critical thinking and techniques of instruction.

The journey of teaching someone something new is very fulfilling. This could be a new language, skill, message, or idea. I have been personally tutoring for over 5 years now and one thing I have learned is that every student is different, but that one skill that you can apply to every individual is the skill of patience, caring, and being consistent with their progress. Creating a comfortable environment for them to learn in without feeling any pressure is critical to their success. I have taught people of all ages from elementary schoolers to retired adults. I truly do like to teach and it is a skill that I am glad I have.

Hi! My name is Ms.Angela and I have been an academic tutor for the last two years. With my experience in elementary/middle school English/Language Arts and elementary math, I have had the privilege of teaching a variety of students, helping them achieve academic success. I love making lessons engaging, supportive, and tailored to each student's needs. My goal is to create a comfortable space where students can ask questions, build skills, and actually enjoy the process of learning.

I'm a friendly, supportive Spanish tutor committed to creating a positive learning environment for my students. My goal is to help students develop practical fluency, confidence and a love for learning Spanish.

As a dedicated educator with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Florida International University, I am passionate about igniting a love for learning in my students.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy exploring emerging engineering technologies and participating in community service projects.

I retired from Miami-Dade Public Schools four years ago after eight years of teaching math at the High School and Middle School level. I miss the feeling of witnessing comprehension over coming a student struggling with a concept or problem as the student becomes aware that this thing can be understood and conquered. That is the greatest joy I experienced as a math teacher, probably the greatest thing I miss about teaching. I am looking forward to experiencing many more moments of assisting students to fight through the riddle of the problem to understand that this isn't so difficult after all.Before teaching, I had versatile career. After receiving a masters of finance and passing the CPA exam, my first job was with Laventhal & Horwath CPA as a tax and financial consultant, after which I left for portfolio management and investment banking before becoming a mathematics teacher.Outside of my professional life, I enjoy biking, canoeing, and hiking. I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail, my longest hike from Georgia to Maine, but I enjoy many weeks of hiking every year on The Florida Trail and interesting trails throughout this country enjoying all that nature has to offer. Hiking and teaching are my two loves aside from my wife, Lene.

I have been teaching English and Spanish for almost 3 decades. I speak fluent Spanish, Portuguese, and Thai. I know tricks and tips to help you learn faster. If you want to learn something from someone, choose someone who has done it themselves. I learned other languages, so I am sensitive to my student's needs.

I am deeply passionate about helping students unlock their academic potential and gain confidence in their learning. There is something incredibly rewarding about watching a student move from confusion to clarity, especially when they begin to realize they are capable of more than they initially believed. Tutoring allows me to be part of that transformative process, helping students overcome challenges and build skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom. I have several years of experience working with students across a variety of age groups and academic levels. From leading peer tutoring sessions in college to working one-on-one with high school students in subjects like biology, chemistry, algebra, and English, I've developed a flexible approach tailored to individual learning styles. Whether helping a student grasp cellular respiration or guiding them through a persuasive essay, I focus on creating a supportive environment that encourages questions, curiosity, and growth

I am an Industrial and Systems Engineer with an Advertising degree that is now teaching kids robotics and STEM Education. I am passionate about helping students understand math and science concepts as well as language and grammar because I believe education doesn't have to be overwhelming. There are fun ways to learn and taking things at bite size makes it easier and doable. I graduated from University of Florida with an Advertising Degree and then from Florida International University with an Industrial Engineering Degree. I can tutor Elementary level Math, Science and grammar. I live using educational videos and fun apps as a resource for learning and teaching. Learning can be fun if you learn how to make it fun.

I have done mission work in Mexico for several years which is one of the ways I became fluent in Spanish. I'm currently going to Florida International for a degree in Spanish, and I am also a freelance interpreter/translator. I believe knowing a second language is very beneficial, especially in the USA where the Spanish-speaking population is ever-increasing. I will give students some of the same techniques and tools I used to learn Spanish while also teaching them how to sound like a native speaker.

I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Chemistry from Florida International University. My favorite subjects to tutor are Chemistry and Algebra, but I also tutor Geometry, Trigonometry, Arithmetic, pre-Algebra, Middle School math and Science. As a student, learning has been a major part of my life. Through the years, I have learned that school can be fun and interesting. However, school can also be challenging, and tutoring has been an important tool throughout my college career. As a tutor, I personally enjoy being able to provide that same help to other students who may need it in order to succeed in their courses. I would appreciate getting the opportunity to encourage and assist anyone who is struggling to understand certain concepts, and take them through each step, until they attain a good understanding of it. My hobbies and interests include reading, playing sports like tennis, and watching movies.

I am a licensed attorney in Florida and a highly-experienced tutor, with over six years' experience teaching English, Literature, writing, and test-prep, and over two years' experience and 1500 hours teaching over 40 students LSAT, law school prep, and bar prep.I scored in the 99th percentile on the LSAT after one month of self-study, and was a Soia Mentschikoff Scholar at the University of Miami School of Law, which I attended on a full academic scholarship.After my 1L year, I was first in my class of over 400 students, having the only perfect 4.0 GPA.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction with TESOL. I am certified in Elementary and Primary Education with an American Sign Language endorsement. I have been teaching ASL for the past 15 years to high school students. Prior to that I taught elementary school for 11 years. Before public school teaching I taught in preschools and obtained my Montessori certification. I am passionate about teaching and helping spark interest in many different subjects. When not teaching academic subjects I teach Pilates to adults and teens.

I am a great tutor because I hold education to a high standard. I believe that every child should have access to a great education; if they aren't allowed that in school, then that's where tutors step in to fill their gaps with knowledge. I work hard to make sure students understand connections between topics and concepts so that they can move on to the next level within that concept. I love watching the moment the student "gets it" and feels confident within themselves when they finally realize they can do it on their own. What sets me apart from other tutors is that they tutor for a paycheck, however, my paycheck is seeing the light bulb go off in a students' head once they understand what I am teaching them. Some of the students that I've tutored have psychological hardships which makes learning a challenge for them; I make sure I work even harder to help connect the dots for them. I am a reliable tutor for your student because I am patient, work hard, produce results and never miss an appointment.

I am a graduated teacher from FIU.I have worked with students grade k-5th, mainly focused in reading and writing intervention.I love having fun while learning and am excited to teach new students.

Two things that have always been embedded in my soul has been my desire to learn and my desire to share that knowledge with those around me. Throughout my undergraduate, I squeezed in as many extra curriculum classes and worked in several research labs alongside working as a lead STEM tutor at my university's learning center while obtaining my Biomedical Engineering degree. Despite being done with school, I continue my pursuit of knowledge working in different labs and spending free time continuing to read, and I know it'll be a continual lifelong pleasure to help others connect with their own intrinsic knowledge as well! Looking forward to helping you succeed in your academic endeavors!

As a recent graduate in English Literature with a newfound passion for education, I am eager to contribute to the academic growth and development of students at your esteemed institution. Becoming a mother to my daughter marked a pivotal moment in my life, deepening my connection to the education system profoundly. Witnessing firsthand the remarkable influence teachers wield over our childrenoften spending more time with them than parentshas illuminated for me the paramount role that educators play in shaping young minds. Although my daughter's journey through schooling is still relatively recent, the unmistakable passion she brings home for certain subjects speaks volumes about the impact of dedicated teachers. This observation has not only strengthened my admiration for the profession but has also ignited a desire within me to be part of this transformative process. I am committed to fostering a supportive and stimulating learning environment where students can thrive academically and personally, much like the inspiring teachers I have encountered and admired. As a lover of English Literature, particularly the works of Dickinson, Poe, and Rand, I am thrilled to finally pursue my dream of sharing this passion and perhaps inspiring others to love Literature as well. From the intricate poetry of Emily Dickinson to the haunting tales of Edgar Allan Poe and the philosophical narratives of Ayn Rand, my appreciation for these diverse literary voices has shaped my understanding of the world and the power of storytelling. I am eager to bring this enthusiasm into the classroom, encouraging students to explore and appreciate the rich tapestry of English Literature. My goal is to create an engaging and dynamic learning environment where students feel inspired to delve into literary works, develop critical thinking skills, and find their own voices through writing and discussion. By fostering a deep appreciation for literature, I hope to contribute to their academic growth and personal development.
