I'm a tutor specializing in English and digital media, grounded in an ethos of collaboration and curiosity. I believe learning is most meaningful when it's driven by genuine interest, so I work with students to identify what excites them and build from there. Whether we're developing an essay, analyzing a text, or shaping a multimedia project, I approach our sessions as creative workshopsspaces to explore ideas, ask questions, and grow skills with confidence. I my MA in Journalism from NYU, and my BA in Journalism with and English minor at Howard University where I focused on how people share stories and make meaning together. My goal is always to support students in finding their voice, strengthening their critical thinking, and feeling empowered in how they communicate. Let's learn together in a way that feels engaging, collaborative, and uniquely tailored to you.

I am an avid learner, which likely explains why I have the highest terminal degree. Thus, I use a developmental approach to tutoring. This approach focuses on identifying and affirming relative strengths and developing a plan to build upon relative weaknesses. My goal is to leave you feeling more empowered about content (e.g., science, math, graduate or medical school admissions, post-graduate work, and executive functioning skill building) after each session.
I have over 20 years teaching and tutoring online in both one-on-one and in collaborative environments. I have worked as a high school teacher, tutor, instructor, academic adviser, coach, mentor, and professor where I taught stacked classes or a combined group of students in an online environment. My philosophy is that learning is fun, and I enjoy interacting and providing instruction to students. I enjoy teaching the necessary material, but more importantly, I enjoy teaching students how to have fun learning. As an Associate Professor, the one thing I like to stress is how to strive for continuous improvement. I want each student to value their educational pursuits by focusing their time and energy in the right place to be successful in their future endeavors.
I am an experienced and dedicated educator with over 29 years in education, including 16 years teaching middle school English Language Arts. I hold a Bachelor's degree in English with a minor in Secondary Education and a Master's degree in Educational Psychology. My career has been rooted in helping students build confidence, strengthen their skills, and discover their own potential as learners.
I love learning which explains my passion for teaching. In high school, I decided that I would become a teacher. I am excited about learning new subjects and attaining new knowledge that I can use for life. As a teacher I can flip my excitement for learning into daily teaching practices. This keeps all my learning environments engaging and filled with edu-fun (educational fun).Now I have ten plus years of teaching experience. I have taught on the elementary, middle school, high school, and in special education classrooms. My favorite grades to teach are the first and second grades. I also really like teaching third and tenth graders.
This tutor earned three degrees over the course of her career-- first she earned a BS degree in secondary English education from East Carolina University, with which she taught high school English for two years before returning to graduate school at her alma mater, ECU, where she then earned a Master's degree in technical and professional communication (English department), with which she contracted in industry with the IRS, HUD, and then ATF while earning her Ph.D. in African American literature, which was earned on full scholarship at Howard University. After teaching 16 years in the university setting, this tutor married and had two daughters and then joined them in the public school system, teaching at her older daughter's high school where her daughter graduated in 2022. This tutor is currently teaching in an alternative school setting, helping students who have fallen behind in academics, teaching in an accelerated academic program. This tutor tutors in reading, writing, grammar, and style. This tutor has always loved English and earned three degrees in English due to her love for reading and writing poetry, with which she published an award-winning collection based on the topic of her dissertation, William E. B. Du Bois, entitled: BROAD SYMPATHIES IN A NARROW WORLD: THE LEGACY OF W. E. B. DU BOIS. Concerning her teaching philosophy and tutoring style, her method of teaching is constructivist, which follows in the path of Dewey, Piaget, Vigotsky, and others. She avoids some kind of knowledge "out there" independent of the learner, especially in reference to poetry. She believes that the value in education is learning to think for oneself, to think critically. She avoids an authoritarian approach to teaching and seeks reflective activity, as Dewey terms it. She endeavors to be progressive and uses poetry in her classes to engage students to think about the process of composing, for the language of poetry is highly structured and condensed, and reading it effectively trains students to reflect analytically as well as critically. Outside of academia, she enjoys long walks for exercise with sprints of running when her body cooperates. She would like to return to her love for bicycling and swimming. Most of all, she loves teaching and seeing the light bulbs turn on when students finally understand complicated concepts. She currently takes classes at the local university to strengthen her teaching skills, as required by the state of Alabama and the Alabama reading initiative. She always endeavors to be the best teacher that she can be, for teaching is what she feels called to do.
Hello! I am a third-year Mathematics student at Howard University. I am a member of the second cohort of Howard University's Karsh STEM Scholars' Program. I have tutored students in many subjects, mostly Pre-Calc, Calculus I, and Algebra 1 & 2. I also have considerable experience in French reading, writing, and speaking. When tutoring, I give students numerous tools and resources to help them understand the material. I provide websites, practice problems, and easy tricks to help students grasp the concepts of each topic.
Science has always been a passion of mine, especially with regards to Biology. It's what drove me to pursue a degree in Biology, and eventually Medicine. Writing has also been a passion of mine. I love to write poetry, fiction, and expository essays. As I have had to write for coursework, college admissions, and medical school admissions, critiquing and correcting papers is something I feel very comfortable with.I like to utilize my creativity in ways that have meaning. As someone who has been through a lot of schooling, I know how difficult it can be to grasp certain topics, so it takes a creative approach. I have always been a proponent of hands-on and visual learning. But I also recognize that each student has their own special way of learning--some may like visual, some may like auditory, some may like movement.I have experience teaching high school science and informally tutoring peers in Biology when I was in college. Teaching high school, I worked with lots of kids who had ADD/ADHD or were on the autism spectrum. It was rewarding to see all my students, regardless of their learning abilities or background, finally understand a difficult or challenging concept. Should you choose me to be your tutor, I look forward to bringing that same feeling to you!
I have over 25 years of experience in education. I graduated from Howard University with a Bachelors Degree in Psychology, before getting my teachers certification. I received my Masters of Education in School Leadership from Cambridge College and a Masters of Education in School Counseling from the University of West Alabama. I have worked in elementary, middle and high school as a teacher and school counselor. As an elementary school teacher, I specialized in the teaching of reading and language arts. My love and excitement for reading followed me into the classroom which allowed me to have great success with struggling readers. As a school counselor, I used bibliotherapy to help students see themselves in characters and learn strategies to overcome various obstacles. When I ran out of books with the topics needed, I wrote my own coping skills book for kids. I help students identifying their learning styles, study skills, and much more while understanding and addressing underlying social and emotional barriers to success.
Hello, my name is Abigail Bradley, and I am a third-year medical student with a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Howard University. My passion for STEM, particularly mathematics, drives my commitment to tutoring students from kindergarten through eighth grade. With over two years of experience, including tutoring at the Maya Angelou schools, I have developed a student-centered approach that emphasizes creating engaging and animated lessons. I strive to make complex concepts accessible by incorporating relatable examples, such as using "crocodile math" to teach greater and lesser values. I believe in fostering critical thinking skills and building confidence through progressive learning experiences, which I find incredibly rewarding as I witness my students' growth and enthusiasm for math and science. My ultimate goal is to inspire a lifelong appreciation for these essential subjects while paving the way for academic success.
Teaching and learning are two sides of the same coin. Students have to know that you care before they care what you know.
Greetings, My name is Michelle, and I am honored to serve as your instructor. I come to you with several earned degrees and state certifications in History, Mathematics, Basic Computer Science, and Language Arts. My professional background reflects a deep commitment to education and to the academic success of every entrusted to my care. My goal is to provide a structured, supported, and engaging learning environment where you ca develop strong skills, deepen your understanding, and grow in confidence.

I am a Math Teacher at a High School. I have taught 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th and High School Math. I have a Master's in Development Economics so I can teach Economics too. My goal is to uplift my students and get them to the next level in math and life.
I believe that fostering a genuine connection with students not only helps them learn technical skills but also ignites their passion for their chosen paths. In my teaching experiences from K-12 classrooms to college lectures I focus on guiding students to discover their true aspirations. Be creative. This approach empowers them to realize their potential and fosters a sense of ownership over their projects. I emphasize the importance of building relationships and exploring diverse opportunities. A little about me, I'm from Oakland, California and got my start assisting on music videos. From there, I got my first writers room gig script coordinating on several tv shows and miniseries. Then I was staffed on an HBO show and FBI:International. I've won two NAACP awards for my work as a script consultant on podcasts. Currently I'm teaching at DePaul while developing more ideas.
I am passionate about helping students maximize their admissions and scholarship potential by scoring high on the LSAT. Let's talk about how I can help you reach your goals!
Hello! My name is Kyera Phillips, and I am a second-year architecture student at Howard University. My agenda as a tutor is to focus on getting students build confidence in their reading, writing, and math capabilities and to help them truly understand the subject at hand. I have 5 years of experience working with children ages 5-12, and have previously been an instructor for elementary students as well as an instructor at an art school.
I am a current undergrad student at Howard University with a major in Chemical Engineering and minor in Spanish. I have experience helping with other students in my class and high school students in math (Calculus I and Algebra), general chemistry (high school, AP, and College), and Spanish (Spanish I-IV). I am also knowledgeable about study skills. I enjoy making detailed plans for success, so I make sure to carefully organize each session's activities. I think communication is key, so these plans are flexible as I always pay special attention to each individual's needs during sessions.
I originally hail from Chicago, IL, but I am currently a MD Candidate at the Medical College of Wisconsin. My previous academic achievements include a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Howard University followed by a Master of Science degree in Medical Physiology from Case Western Reserve University.Throughout my undergraduate and postgraduate career, I set aside time to teach as well as tutor basic biology, ecology, chemistry, math, reading and writing to students ranging from kindergarteners to high schoolers.As a tutor, I make sure my sessions are something the student will look forward to by trying to relate to each individual student on a personal level to ensure they feel comfortable asking questions if and when they may not understand a concept. I know how one can feel discouraged from their studies, but with the right preparation, study tools, and tutor, it can be enjoyable.Any concept I teach, I make sure to relate them to real life scenarios in a way that the student could understand and appreciate because learning and studying resonate well with any student when relatable in a familiar fashion.A typical introductory session with a student includes learning what type of learner the student is and their current methods for studying. I like to see what works for the student and what doesn't and how I can help improve those areas. My goal, as a tutor, is to encourage and equip students with the necessary tools to be successful so that one day they can pay it forward.Outside of work and studies, I like to dance, hang out with friends, surf pinterest and do DIY projects.I look forward to working with you!
I've been speaking up for others since I learned to speak for myself. My passion for advocacy and my abhorrence of unjust have been the main motivators and values that I hold dear to me, take with me, and implement in all work that I do. Growing up, I never advocated for myself, so seeing someone else do it , let alone a teacher, was incredibly foreign. To be collectivized with other ambitious students meant that I had to want more for myself just as they want for themselves. Now I wanna be that teacher that helps and sees the good in students, just as they saw in me.
There are many wonderful views and thoughts on the benefits of education that spark inspiration and motivation. At this moment, the one I would like to share with you is from the late, critically acclaimed filmmaker Stanley Kubrick: "I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach anything by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker." As a proponent of formal and lifelong education, self-discovery, and self-expression, I believe in the exchange of ideas and evaluation of information to successfully choose one's path moving forward. Ignorance and misinformation get us nowhere and only hinder our progress and success. Perhaps the main reason I view education as a passport to personal success is that it allows people to find happiness and satisfaction within themselves instead of using external metrics to measure their accomplishments. This allows people to build confidence within themselves and chase their dreams and unleash their passions. With a background in journalism and education, I obtained degrees from Howard University in Washington, DC (Journalism) and Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas (Educational Technology Leadership). Since 2005, I have taught a variety of subjects at the middle school, high school, and college levels including English, Language Arts, Writing, English as a Second Language, and First-Year Experience: Education 1300. In addition, I have worked as an online editor and freelance writer, so I enjoy teaching anything that involves reading and writing. I have also passed TExES teacher certification in the state of Texas. Another aspect of teaching that I enjoy is meeting a variety of people, as diversity is important, and creating relationships by identifying what we have in common. I want to transform people's negative experiences with education by meeting them where they are and helping them chart a personal path to attain their goals and dreams. And when I'm not involved in education, you can find me making music, watching Netflix or Disney+, or plotting my next trip to an unknown destination. If you have ever viewed education as a "punitive" or "hurtful" process, I'd like to change that. Feel free to drop me a message or jump right in and give me a try. Looking forward to meeting and working with you.
I was born and raised in Trinidad, one half of the country of Trinidad and Tobago. There I fell in love with Mathematics, studying varying aspects of it, from Pre-Algebra to Applied Mathematics.I furthered my interest to tutor in college at Howard University, where I gained experience tutoring university student athletes. This occurred for three years while I reviewed statistics for the university's admission office.Fast forward to 2013, when I started my matriculation to gain my Masters of Finance at University of Rochester, I tutored my fellow classmates and other students at the university that needed help with differential equations and calculus based questions.I have experience working with Mathematics for years, and Finance (I have six years career experience) and am excited to tutor you the students!
I am an experienced editorial and communications professional with a strong background in rapid-response editing, grammatical and structural revisions, and clear, accessible messaging. I have spent the past five years editing hundreds of blog posts, op-eds, regulatory comments, policy briefs, and digital materials under tight deadlines, ensuring accuracy, clarity, and consistency. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to express themselves and develop their skills. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet each student's unique needs, ensuring they not only grasp the material but also find joy in learning. I am motivated by witnessing my students' growth and confidence as they master challenging concepts. With a MS in Conflict Analysis and Resolution from George Mason University and a BA in Public Relations/English from Howard University, I possess a mastery in writing, reading, and workflow management skills.
I am delighted when my students accomplish their goals. Their achievement is my joy.
As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from Howard University, I have over 2 years of tutoring experience, specializing in subjects such as Conversational Spanish, Elementary School Math, and High School Accounting. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and explore their interests. I strive to connect with each student by tailoring my approach to their unique learning styles, ensuring that they not only grasp the material but also develop a genuine love for learning. In addition to my academic pursuits, I enjoy playing the piano and violin, which I believe enriches my ability to inspire creativity in my students.
Currently working as an Environmental Engineer in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and obtaining a background in Chemical Engineering has granted me a diverse fundamental skill set in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Writing and English. I possess an extensive history of hands-on experience in these fields ranging from internships, academic research opportunities and professional development teams that gives me greater context in understanding applicability of these concepts. The benefit in selecting me as a tutor is my ability to effectively translate high-level concepts into fundamentals that can be understood by all. My focus is to motivate my students to develop mindsets that are not afraid to take on any academic challenge. As a tutor, it is my job to make my students feel as though they can conquer the world.
I graduated from Howard University in 2011 where I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology. While at Howard University, I was selected to work as a Biology and General Chemistry tutor for all four years. After graduating, I worked for 3 years as a provider at a group family daycare center and oversaw the educational processes of the k-8 clients. I am passionate about the role that engaging supplemental education can play in building a student's self-confidence and in creating new opportunities for personal and professional success.Tutoring students is one of the most rewarding activities in which I have ever participated. Passing on my passions for knowledge and success is something I try to accomplish with each person with whom I work with. Every student deserves a tutor who will approach their needs in different and innovative ways. I accomplish this by getting to know my students as unique individuals. In this way, I can vary my teaching style to suit each student and stay open to adjusting as necessary. Teaching the sciences is one of my passions, as it is a mystery to many students but one of the largest gateways to success. Helping students with their math is also a challenging but rewarding task. With the right student-tutor relationship, I believe anything can be accomplished.My approach to teaching is that of confident comprehension of subjects, rather than reaching an answer. The student who understands why his or her incorrect answers are wrong will, in the long term, consistently arrive at the correct response. The confidence that students have in themselves plays a big role in learning, whereas fear and anxiety are a hindrance to learning and memory. This is a key player when it comes to exams as well. My main goal is thus always to help the student to learn how to confidently maneuver through problems and obstacles.I have experience tutoring elementary school, middle school, and high school students-- but I am also more than willing to tutor other age groups! I love to make learning fun, especially because schoolwork can often be frustrating and exhausting.
Former Algebra, Geometry and their respective honors courses teacher that loves to make math easy and fun for all! I've been named "Best Math Teacher" by former students and help you no matter your learning style :)
I am a New York State Certified Teacher in grades 1-6. I received my M. Ed from Mercy College. I have been teaching for the past 10 years and I have taught grades 4-6, and 8th grade. I spent 7 years alone in 5th grade where I developed my own curriculum on fractions. There are 4 presentations on fractions each covering all 4 operations. Each day's lesson is embedded with videos of me giving a tutorial on how to solve the specific type of problem we are addressing.A school is a place that should be fun and engaging for all parties involved. I create content so the classroom structure is more student-centered and use apps to engage scholars. No subject should be stressful especially for a 10-year-old.My undergrad degree is in Theatre Arts: Acting from Howard University and I spend my free time writing and shooting movies.
I am a proud graduate of Howard University where I received my degree in Business Management. I've worked with children for ten years as a dance teacher, daycare manager, and private tutor specializing in online learning support during COVID. I am most passionate about Math at the elementary level. I believe that building a foundation where students love to learn, no matter the subject, fosters independence, confidence, and a skillset that will serve them in conquering more advanced subject matter. In my free time, I love dancing, reading, pilates, and going to live concerts/theater performances.
I love to teach because I love to learn. I help my students learn how to learn. Critical thinking is critical for passing certification and other standardized tests. Knowing what to do when you aren't sure of the answer is key.I passed the NC Real Estate exam on the first try.
I received my Bachelor of Arts in English and Spanish from Howard University and worked as an educator and as a communications administrator for several years post college. During my career as a communications administrator, I enrolled at Massachusetts College of Art and Design in pursuance of my Fashion Design Certificate. My education from MassArt inspired me to become a wardrobe consultant and to found A Balanced Wardrobe LLC. Though I've transitioned from academia to business and fashion, I still rely heavily on my reading and writing skills. These skills transcend all professions, as they are fundamental to our ability to learn and to communicate effectively on paper and in-person. During my years in education, I engaged with many students who struggled in reading and writing, and typically, these same students struggled in other subjects; in math they struggled to read word problems and in science they struggled to write their lab results. Working with these students gave me first-hand experience at how to help students strengthen their comprehension without hurting their confidence. Over time, I found that patience, consistent positive reinforcement and persistent redirection are key, and it is these same techniques that I utilize with my Varsity Tutors students. Without reading and writing skills, I would have never been able to traverse so many different fields and discover my passion, and through tutoring, I hope to help my students achieve the same.
I'm passionate about building confidence and strength through education. I have been tutoring for 2 years now and absolutely love seeing kids find confidence in subjects they once struggled with!
Hi! My name is John, and I'm a dedicated English Language Arts tutor with over five years of experience. I have a deep love for both reading and teaching, and I get a lot of joy out of building relationships with students and supporting them to achieve their academic goals. A little bit about me: I graduated from Howard University in 2022 with a Bachelor's Degree in English, and I am currently an English Literature PhD candidate at UCLA, where I'm working on my dissertation. I developed a love for teaching while working as a tutor and instructor at UCLA, and I'm hoping to work as a teaching professor or a high school teacher once I finish my program. I can help students in any English related areas, including writing, reading comprehension, and AP test prep. I can assist students with coursework or design my own lesson plans to meet student needs. In my free time, you can usually find me reading in a coffee shop, hanging out with my friends, or skateboarding around Los Angeles.
I am a junior at Howard University, majoring in psychology and criminology, and minoring in political science. As a literature enthusiast, natural empath, and intrinsically motivated activist with a passion for knowledge, I am the ideal candidate for helping students reach their highest level of potential. I use techniques that I found work best for me and my students, through my experience as a University student.
I have been serving with a Before & Aftercare enrichment program, AlphaBEST, here in Montgomery County as a Site Director for almost 7 years. As part of supporting those students with that program, I help them out with Homework Help Time with understanding what they are working on with the homework worksheet packets from their school homerooms for the week and make sure that those things make sense to them and feel comfortable and less scary than they might have before. I also help them learn new things in 5 different kinds of activities about Art (ex. learning about different artists all over the world & how they made some of their most famous artwork), World Languages & Cultures (ex. learning how to sign in ASL or about different kinds of Chinese foods with Mandarin vocabulary words), STEAM (ex. how to make their own stop-motion animation movies), Fitness (ex. working on better aim with soccer goal shots), & Makers (ex. engineering a special invention to survive on a deserted island with a packet of materials), & Social-emotional learning (ex. how to handle your "big thoughts & big feelings" in healthy, safe ways with each other). Before that, I finished stints serving with the Peace Corps in Eastern Europe & low-income immigrant & resettled refugee children & families with AmeriCorps in DC from 2003-2006. I then finished my Master degree in Social Work with a concentration in working with Displaced Populations in 2008 and worked with youth in DC's child welfare system and completed additional play & art therapy training for 5 years before coming to work with AlphaBEST. My favorite part about working with students is getting to build safe spaces for youth where everyone is included and accepted for who they are for all they are and (like "Lilo & Stitch") where no one gets left-out or left behind. I also love watching that moment on students' faces when the challenging, hard parts with learning new things starts to click for them and they start to feel more confident that they can figure those thing out now, too.
I am a master's student at Brown University. I graduated from Howard University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. While I tutor a wide variety of subjects, I am most passionate about Spanish, math, and English with over 5 years of teaching experience. I also have a Seal of Biliteracy, meaning I am able to teach in both English and Spanish. I hope to work with you soon!
I hold a Masters in Education (Reading Specialist), from Howard University (Washington, DC) and my earlier academic pursuit, in Speech Pathology and Elementary Education, was completed as a dual Bachelor of Science degree from Central Michigan University (Mt. Pleasant, Michigan). My 25 plus years experience in the profession of Education has been a labor of compassion, commitment, and an extraordinary experience, that led me to receive STEM Certification from Columbia University and Adams University, from NASA Endeavors Fellow Program. Since retirement from the public school systems of Washington, DC and Baltimore County Public Schools, I have tutored and mentored students from other countries, Alternative Education Programs, and Public Schools; and during the last two years, tutored online. (Which I found very exciting!) I have taught grades K-6; and 7-8.I have managed STEM programs and have received various recognition from national organizations and the Department of Education (retired Secretary of Education Arne Duncan).I am most passionate about Reading and Literacy. I have experience helping struggling students who have gaps in their reading comprehension and writing areas. I come from a family of educators, musicians, and community activists, who strengthen my knowledge for learning and having fun while learning. I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. I enjoy reading and watching movies. I have traveled to China, Haiti, Nigeria, Mexico, and various states. When I was young, READING about far away places encouraged me to visit different areas of the world. With that experience, I felt the world was smaller than what I thought and I deserved to help improve it.
I would have to say that all of my education since grade school has focused on math and science. I went to Michael E. DeBakey High School for Health Professions in Houston, Texas. It was there that I really found my niche in both science and math, where AP Physics and AP Calculus were my favorites. I later went to Howard University, in Washington D.C., where I majored in Biology, but I later discovered that I didn't quite satiate my curiosity for science. After college, I went to school part-time, at the University of Houston. While there, I completed several classes, such as Biochemistry I, Biochemistry II, Endocrinology and Human Physiology.Soon after, I was presented with the opportunity to teach at a local charter school, here in Houston. I first taught Chemistry, as a 10th grade long-term substitute and was later asked to stay to teach 9th grade Algebra. While teaching, I focused on the various learning styles of my students and played upon that constantly. While teaching, I set a new goal to continue to teach until I retire.Recently, I received a Masters of Arts in Biotechnology from Columbia University in the City of New York. While there, I continued to fulfill my love for the sciences and took several more science classes, such as Developmental Biology, Neurobiology II, and Molecular Pharmacology. After completing my last semester, at Columbia, I found that I have taken nearly thirty science classes at both the undergraduate and graduate level. I will now use all this information to teach as an adjunct faculty, in the Biology department, at a local community college. In the Spring 2013, I will teach Anatomy & Physiology I and Nutrition.Now, while tutoring, I simply wish to translate my love for both science and math to my students.
My name is Abigail, and I am a Physician Assistant student at pursuing my Master's degree. I have a Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Science from the University of Maryland, College Park. Throughout my academic and clinical training, I have developed a strong passion for education and mentorship, particularly in helping students build confidence and achieve their academic goals. I have experience teaching and mentoring students of various ages, teaching mathematics (Algebra, Calculus), English writing, and clinical sciences. I enjoy breaking down complex concepts into clear, understandable lessons and tailoring my teaching approach to each student's individual learning style. As a tutor, I strive to create a supportive, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and challenging themselves.
I first became introduced to tutoring my junior year in college when I received the opportunity to work with students in a failing high school. We were tasked with getting the students SAT/ACT ready and subsequently apply for college. One of my proudest moments to date was receiving the news that all students from the program had applied to college.My tutoring experience has since moved on from to a more privatized setting but the reward has remained the same. Working students to build their confidence in and outside the classroom is an indescribable gift that I am fortunate enough to possess. My tutoring style of getting to know the student and parent and developing an action plan unique to the student has proven to be successful and appreciated in the past.I am recent graduate of Howard University, B.A. in Political Science, Magna Cum Laude. I have since been accepted into law school and intend on going in the fall.
