As an experienced Title 1 coordinator and educator, I am passionate about helping students reach their full potential. I have a strong background in creating inclusive educational programs, with a focus on reading, writing, and math interventions. My work with Beyond The Ordinary Services highlights my dedication to providing tutoring and early intervention, ensuring personalized support for each learner. I bring a global perspective to my teaching, fostering critical thinking and real-world connections to make lessons engaging. I am committed to empowering students and making a lasting impact on their academic journey.

I'm excited to be working with students and helping them achieve success.I've been a teacher for 14 years. I've taught 9th, 10th, and 11th grade English/Language Arts, Reading. 7th & 8th Grade electives, and 9th grade Career Research. I've also taught remedial writing at the college level. I've also worked for SAT. so I'm familiar with both the old and new formats of the test.Outside of my work hours, I enjoy reading, creative writing, going to theme parks, lazing around at the beach, visiting my local zoo, tending to all my pets (1 cat & 25 fish) and spending time with my friends & family.

I enjoy mathematics and of my goals is to enhance my student's knowledge of mathematics while helping them to see the beauty behind it and how we utilize it every day.

There is nothing is more fulfilling to me than helping young people learn. As a sixth grade Reading Language Arts teacher, I get to journey with my students as they discover everything from fantastical fictional worlds to essential language and communications skills. And I would love nothing more than to engage in that process with your student through tutoring.

I am an educator of 15+ years, primarily in English/humanities, though I occasionally dabble in math/science and such. I hold a Masters in Education specializing in secondary education, but I've worked with a wide variety of student demographics: K-12, college/university, returning students, ESL/ELL, gifted and/or reluctant learners, etc. I enjoy the challenge of stepping outside of my comfort zone in terms of teaching assignments, and I believe my passion for being in the classroom rubs off on my students. My teaching philosophy includes having a learner-centered growth mindset that takes into account students' social-emotional health and personalized learning needs. I enjoy both the in-person and virtual classroom, and am a passionate advocate of both standards-based learning and the STEAM curriculum. I believe I am an approachable, efficient, and competent teacher/tutor whom students can tell genuinely cares about their academic success and personal well-being. I look forward to acclimating myself into the Varsity Tutors culture. Nice to 'meet' you!

I love to teach and especially like helping others gain their confidence in learning. Everyone can learn. Most need to be reminded. Working together we can achieve anything.

I have a background in applied management, but am working towards becoming a certified teacher. I have experience both as a tutor and also working with children in different settings. I understand how tough certain subjects can be for students since I've been 'that student' myself. For me, my most challenging subject was science. This experience has helped me to recognize the challenges children go through in their education. Furthermore, parents want to help and work so hard, but can easily become overextended while trying to help their children with homework or lessons. This is where I come in! I work directly with children and cater specific teaching methods and strategies to each individual. I think it's important to figure out what makes each student tick and use this to inspire them. It's easy to get frustrated, but together, we can overcome this and achieve your goals!

Hi! I'm Alli and I have my bachelors in education with a ELA endorsement. I'm a stay at home mom and am excited to use my degree and skills to teach and tutor online.

I believe all students should have the opportunity to have an education no matter who they are. All students should be treated equally. My strong point in education is helping and guiding students who need extra attention. I break material down and create an atmosphere where student want to learn and look forward to the next class.

I believe that education is the most certain way to create success. However, I also understand that our current school system is not tailored to help individual students. As such, I aim to give students the extra help they need but cannot get in the classroom. I am in school at Grand Canyon University and am working on obtaining a degree in Elementary Education. I currently work full-time as a literacy interventionist in a local elementary school. I'm very good at staying organized and enjoy most school subjects.

I have taught preschool, third, fourth and fifth grade students. The last two years I have been in a resource classroom teaching reading and writing. My favorite thing about teaching is seeing the student grow and learn. I always tell my students to say "I have not learned that yet," not "I cannot learn that." Learning is a mindset and when the mindset is right, the learning will come. I cannot wait to get the chance to help you learn all that you want to learn.

The reason I am passionate about helping students is becauseI love to see children learn. It is a joy watching them discover new skills. To know that I had a part in that makes me continue in my work. In every grade level I taught, my students have succeeded above average. As a matter of fact, 90% of my 6th grade class exceeded their state exam scores. 70% of the students were accepted into the honors class the very next year as a result of passing that exam. Those students came into my classroom as the lowest academic children for that grade level but left as honor students. That would not have happened if I did not have the desire to pull the best out of them.I have taught and tutored children for over 12 years. As a classroom teacher, I taught Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 4rth, and 6th grade. As a tutor, I worked with children from kindergarten to 8th grade. For 7th and 8th grade,I only tutored the subject Reading/ELA.I received my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Indiana University, Bloomington and later earned my master's degree in Early Childhood Education.I tutor math up to the 4th grade. However, my favorite subject to teach is Reading. I currently teach Reading (English Language Arts) up to the 6th grade. Younger children love the way I read stories to them. When I taught preschool online during the pandemic, I recorded myself reading stories. One of the parents told me that her daughter would ask to view one of my story videos before going to sleep. It doesn't matter what grade level, I am always commended by school administrators and parents for my ability to teach reading. In the younger grades, I am successful with teaching children how to read. In the upper grades, I am successful with developing reading skills. My classes always have the highest reading scores compared to my comrades. This is not to brag, I am just sharing the results of my experiences. Reading has always been a favorite of mine. I was reading the King James Bible by the second grade. I was reading above grade level all throughout my school years. I was always the one in class reading with expression. Today, I try to get children excited about reading as well. The more excited children are about reading, the more they will become interested in reading which in turn will help develop their reading skills.I like for children to learn naturally - to use everyday life situations as the basis for their learning. I am certified to teach Montessori in the home, which is a holistic way of teaching. Learning in a natural way is less stressful for children. I will be honest, however, it can be difficult for me to use my teaching philosophy when I am not in the right type of environment. I'm always concerned about others' opinions.Outside of academia, I do a lot of traveling for the church, usually in the summertime. I am a youth leader of an organization that focuses on developing youth that brings out their God given talents and interests. It's a lot of fun.

I am an Instructional Coach, and I specialize in reading, grades 1-12. I also assist students in preparing for state assessments and college preparation for the ACT. I have been teaching 22 years and I believe that all students can learn and with support they can be successful. I teach at a school where we put special emphasis on learning through technology, and teach kids how to productively use Google Docs, iPads, and laptops to their advantage.I have always enjoyed teaching and I know this is a special calling because I am never tired of working with children. I feel that I am also a motivator, because students tend to want to learn when we are together. I have never run from a challenge and sometimes tutoring can be, but I am willing to go the whole distance.

I began tutoring my fellow peers in Chemistry when I was a Sophomore in High School. I enjoy sharing my own techniques and tools to help obtain a different level of understanding.

I am currently on track to become a high school Chemistry teacher, tutoring is something I have always enjoyed over the past 10 years!

I have a deep appreciation for nature and enjoy watching birds, as well as caring for puppies, kittens, horses, and other animals. My sense of humor, coupled with my enthusiasm for engaging with students, allows me to create a lively and inclusive learning environment. I also enjoy tutoring students who are slow learners or those who struggle with reading and math, helping them build confidence and self-esteem. In my spare time, I listen to music, read novels, care for pets, garden, nurture house plants, and engage in crafts, poems, and short stories. Conclusion As an educator, I am captivated by this generation of learners and am continually inspired by their experiences and perspectives on the world. I am committed to fostering a learning environment that encourages growth, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.

I am a graduate of a well-known business university and work for a local college campus in the Financial Aid department. I have a few years of tutoring young students with basic math and English. I believe in incorporating the real world as examples to help students understand the information.

Growing up from my childhood I have always loved math and did much better in it than any other class subject. I would feel stupid in class when they were teaching other class and super smart when it came to math. I was considered smart by people who are way smarter than me. But because I excelled in one thing that they did not they thought I was doing great in everything else which I did not. I now have a degree in Electrical Engineering and feel strong tutoring for math and science subjects.

As a committed tutor pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with a focus in ESOL from Grand Canyon University, I began my teaching journey about five years ago as a substitute teacher, gaining experience across a variety of subjects, including ELA, Science, and Math. I am now in my third year teaching a middle school math enrichment class for students in grades 68 who are struggling with fundamental math concepts. I enjoy teaching ELA as well, especially because I am bilingual and can use a range of strategies to support students with phonics, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. I specialize in Conversational Spanish, Elementary and Middle School Math, and Spanish 1, and I am driven by a passion for creating a supportive and engaging learning environment. My teaching philosophy emphasizes the importance of building strong connections with students and using interactive, relevant methods to make learning enjoyable. I firmly believe that with tailored support and encouragement, every student can thrive academically. Beyond tutoring, I enjoy exploring new languages and cultures, which enhances my ability to connect with students and enrich their learning experiences.

I am a student of Grand Canyon University currently pursuing a degree in Software Development. I have a strong background in both math and computer science subjects. Such subjects are satisfying to problem solve and I get a lot of joy talking about them, and I hope that I can give a little bit of that joy to the people I teach. I believe that all students learn differently, and so it is paramount to understand and adapt to the style they learn from best. Whenever I have time to myself, I am definitely quite the gamer, and that has contributed to my desire to one day become a successful Game Developer. I firmly believe anyone can do anything once they learn math and software, I know I can, and I know I can help you do so too!

I have a Master's degree in Education from Grand Canyon University. I found my passion in assisting students to achieve that "lightbulb" moment. Since graduating I have worked primarily in reading and math. I have a love of reading that I want to share with others, as well as the creative outlet of writing. I struggled with math when I was in junior high, so I have a great deal of patience with students who struggle, and am willing to find ways to make subjects more understandable to students. My biggest hobby in life is reading. I have found great joy in expressing myself in writing, and very happy when I can assist students in expressing themselves in this same way. I have always felt that every child is capable of success, and I desire to help each individual achieve their personal best in all subjects. I find history fascinating, and try to help others appreciate it as well. I also enjoy puzzles and crochet, as well as taking the dogs for walks.

Hello, I've known that I would become a teacher since the age of 12. I have been retired for two years after a successful career from a large School District. I have also been tutoring for the past fifteen years. I continue to tutor because my passion is still teaching and helping students achieve academically.I received my undergraduate degree in Education from Temple University and a Masters of Education in Reading Curriculum and Instruction from Grand Canyon University. My favorite subjects to teach are reading, math and writing skills. I am able to break down these subjects to their bare elements which allows for student success. In addition, as stated above, my passion to assist young people (or all ages) in gaining understanding is truly what drives me. My philosophy for teaching is to first of all, present a non-threatening environment where the student feels free to make attempts to achieve. I also feel that the student must be made aware of what is expected in their learning, their strengths and weaknesses. I will then give them the tools which will guide them in advancement of the subject matter. Two outside interests are reading and sewing.
