MS Grand Canyon University • MS Concordia University-Wisconsin
6+ Years Tutoring

I have been an educator for 11 years. I obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Natural Science from Concordia University Wisconsin in 2004 and a Master's Degree in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University in 2010. I have taught all ages, from kindergarten, to high school, to adult learners, both in a classroom setting, as well as in a homeschooling setting and in individual tutoring sessions. My joy and passion is teaching, especially when I can see the students that I work with grow in their understanding and knowledge and really start to "get it". Not only am I teaching reading, writing, math, and other specialized skills, I am also instilling confidence, self esteem, and belief into the students I work with. It is so very exciting for me to see students develop and blossom over time. My hope is that my passion for teaching will be felt and that I can connect with my students that will positively impact their academic futures, both in the short term and in the long term.

Robert
MS Grand Canyon University • BA Arizona State University
1+ Years Tutoring

For my undergraduate education I attended Arizona State University and graduated with a Bachelor's in Communication and a Bachelor's in Psychology. Now, I am pursuing a Master's degree in Communication with an emphasis in Education. I currently work at Grand Canyon University as an Instructional Assistant for a few classes, meaning that I assist different professors with day-to-day tasks. Due to my job I work regularly with students in a variety of courses such as Sociology, Communication, and Psychology. I also help many students with their academic papers, lending a hand in terms of making sure they answer all parts of the paper and that everything flows smoothly. For me, the best moments are when I can sit down with a student that doesn't understand the content and through some time and effort, help them reach that "A-ha moment" where it all clicks together.

1+ Years Tutoring

Educating students for over 10 years has been a privilege. Particularly gratifying is the opportunity to witness my pupils progress in mathematics. After teaching math for nearly a decade, I completed my graduate work last year in Educational leadership with a follow up credential in administration. In the past, my students in mathematics routinely have returned to visit, sharing their continued successes following what was learned as a member of my classroom. I want to continue to help children "get it" as they are called on to rise to new heights in an increasingly competitive academic and occupational climate. I have decided to continue within the Varsity Tutors platform with the goal of increasing the scope of students I can assist in their math skills development.

Jennifer
BA Grand Canyon University
2+ Years Tutoring

I am passionate about helping students because I was one of those students that struggled, but had wonderful support to succeed. I believe every student deserves the support necessary to succeed in whatever goals they have. I have worked within grades 1 to 6, and have found that they enjoyed my method that focuses on rapport building and using that rapport to help relate students to what they are learning. I got my education at Grand Canyon University, graduating with a dual Bachelor degree in elementary and special education. I also have an associates degree in general studies as well as credits in an associates in English, with credits in nonfiction as well as fiction/folklore reading and writing. With my background and experiences, I tutor math, reading, and writing, but am passionate about supporting students in science and social studies. If students need help with reading as well as science and/or social studies, I use the passages from science and/or social studies to target reading comprehension skills that need support.
