After receiving my Bachelor of Arts in English from Winthrop University I moved to Kennesaw State University and earned a Master of Arts in Professional Writing. Since then I have worked as an instructor and freelance writer. I have been published in The Escapist, Paste Magazine, and Gameranx. I have also designed two critically acclaimed video games.Along with writing, teaching is a huge passion of mine. I've tutored for four years, helping students become better writers. I've also worked as an English instructor at a college and technical school and know what level of academic performance is expected from students at the college level. I wish to help students not only exceed those expectations but also to give them tools that will help them succeed outside of school as well.

My name is Grace. I am a 5th grade teacher who absolutely loves her students!! I teach all subject areas and my motto in my classroom is that you can do ANYTHING! We all learn differently, and I make it my mission to find how each of my students learn best!

I'm a graduate of Kennesaw State University studying computer Game Design and Development. I own a small game Studio, Arius Black Studios, and we focus on mobile and PC development. I love teaching computer science and helping students overcome the harder concepts, and establish good habits in school.

I recently retired after serving thirty years as a public school teacher and administrator in metro Atlanta. I hold four education degrees from UGA, Kennesaw State, West Georgia, and Lincoln Memorial University. My areas of specialization in the classroom were in Social Studies (broad-based History and Government) and Mathematics (up to High School Algebra). I also was a teacher in the Gifted program for fifteen years.In addition to my classroom teaching duties, I also served as an academic tutor for homeless and displaced students and as a basketball coach. My administrative years were spent with elementary school students. As a teacher and coach, I was known for being fun, but firm, interesting, but intense in my expectations.and I was not afraid to try different things to ensure that true teaching and authentic learning occurred for my students. During my last five years in the classroom, my students had a 98+ percent meets and exceeds pass rate on their subject-specific state standardized tests.I was honored to serve as the President of the Georgia Association of Educators for four years; in which, I was able to travel throughout the state and nation engaging students and other educators to advocate for the positive transformation power of how public education empowers and enhances the lives of millions of students and their families throughout our nation.In my spare time, I enjoy amusement parks (love roller coasters), college athletics (Go Dawgs), oldies music (swing and big band), ballroom dancing, and cruises..when I'm not going to the movies with my daughter (my Russian princess) or the park with my rescue dog, Doyle.

Hello! My name is Jaime Rakowski, or "Mrs. Rakowski" to my students. I am a graduate of Central Michigan University as well as Kennesaw State University. In the 8 years after I graduated from CMU with my Bachelors of Applied Arts in Child Development, I worked in many daycares as my husband and I moved for his job. During this time, I worked with infants-school aged children. After settling down here in Georgia, I went back to KSU to earn a second bachelors degree. This time it was a Bachelors of Science in Early Childhood Education. After graduating from KSU, I was hired to teach 3rd grade at the elementary school that I student taught for. I spent 3 years in 3rd grade and moved down to 2nd grade where I taught an additional 3.5 years. In early 2021, I also received my ESOL certification.Working with children from birth-5th grade, I have seen the huge importance of early childhood literacy. Early literacy has a major impact on a student's success in and out of the classroom. This is where my passion lies. But reading isn't the only thing that I love to teach! I also love math and social studies. Above all, I love to learn and I love to foster and build that love of learning within each of the students that I work with.

The English language has always fascinated me. It began when I was young, with my mom reading to me and sharing her own passion for literature. I soon began obsessively reading on my own, and that has continued to this day; I have a collection of over two hundred books that I am very proud of.My interest in reading blossomed naturally into writing. In school, I had to analyze the books I was reading, which made them even more interesting to me. They were saying much more than what was written on the page. Being able to decipher hidden meanings in stories and then articulate my ideas about them in writing made it even more exciting for me.When I began college, I chose English as my major so that I could further my knowledge of literature and hone my skills as a reader and writer. I received my Associate's Degree in English from Gordon State College, and then transferred to Kennesaw State University, where I am currently one semester away from obtaining my Bachelor's Degree in English with two minors: Professional Writing and Film Studies. After my Bachelor's Degree, I plan to pursue a Master's Degree in Professional Writing and, perhaps after that, a PhD in Linguistics.During my time at KSU, I have become much more interested in creative writing. I have written several short stories, both fiction and nonfiction, although fiction is my favorite. I have also become interested in the Film and Television industries. My fascination with analyzing literature has grown to include analyzing films and TV, as well. I have begun screenwriting and I hope to one day work for a network as a TV screenwriter. I spend much of my time watching TV shows and movies on Netflix, but I think of it more as research for my future career than leisure, although it is a little bit of both.At KSU, I am also a Writing Assistant at the Writing Center. This is where I began tutoring. I work with members of the KSU community with anything writing related. Through the Writing Center, I have received many opportunities to travel to conferences to discuss writing, my research, and Writing Centers themselves. I have also been given the opportunity to lead a group of young creative writers and teach them the fundamentals of creating a story. With this job at the Writing Center, as well as with working with Varsity Tutors, I found a way to use what I am passionate about to help others.My experience, both personal, academic, and professional, have given me an extensive knowledge of the English language, including the technical aspects of grammar and style. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and watching others discover their potential as a writer.I look forward to working with you on anything English and writing related!

I am a lifelong educator. A student myself I learn things every day and I embrace education at it's core. I enjoy new challenges and I recognize the importance of true learning. I embrace all cultures and enjoy sharing knowledge with my students working towards a common goal. On a personal note I enjoy culinary arts and music. Specifically guitar. I live in KCMO with my Basset Hound "Sundae".

How do you learn? Do you feel like you learn differently than most students? Well, we will be a perfect fit! For more than 20 years, I have worked with students and educators to help them discover how they learn best and build strong learning strategies.You will want to work with me if you want more than just tutoring for a specific course. I will help you learn how to improve your learning skills as we work on a specific content area or skill.My experience as a 6-12 teacher and as a college professor has prepared me to support you in several areas. I can help you with an English or ELA content area including reading and writing. I have 12 years of experience teaching high school literature. I also have extensive experience working with learning disabilities including dyslexia, ADHD, dysgraphia, and language processing disorders.I have a Bachelor's degree in English from Ohio State University, a Master's in Secondary English (6-12) from Kennesaw State University, and I have a Specialist of Education degree from Kennesaw State University in Instructional Technology.I can help you use technology effectively and provide you with online resources to support learning.I believe students who participate in sports and extracurricular activities get more out of their school experience than students who are not as engaged in their school community. I understand that students who have tight schedules may need a little help getting everything done.I look forward to working with you!

I have been a teacher of Mathematics and Physics since 2008. I earned a BA in Mathematics and a MS in Statistics. I believe every student can learn and it's the job of the teacher to ensure that the student's unique learning style is activated. I am certified to teach Physics and Mathematics, and am currently working as an instructor of Mathematics and Programming at the Interactive College of Technology and Kennesaw State University. I believe when a subject is presented correctly, any student can develop a love for it. I have taught elementary students, high school students and college students, everything from basic Arithmetic to Vector Calculus and Complex Analysis. My experiences as a teacher have led me to stress the importance of realizing what the transferable skills are from Mathematics and that it is a human endeavor, above all else. I take a holistic approach to teaching, which means that students are expected to reason through problems algebraically, graphically, pictorially and verbally. When students are able to synthesize these four approaches to concept mastery, real understanding emerges, and students, perhaps for the first times in their lives, see what they are truly doing. Thanks for reading my profile, and I am eager to help your child discover the beauty of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics.

As a dedicated educator pursuing a Medical Doctorate (MD) from Ross University School of Medicine, I have over 5 years of experience in both tutoring and classroom settings. My passion lies in making complex biological concepts accessible and engaging for my students, whether they are tackling AP Biology or preparing for USMLE Step 1. I employ a student-centered approach, fostering critical thinking and encouraging curiosity in subjects like Biostatistics and Microbiology. I believe that every student has unique strengths, and I strive to create a supportive learning environment that promotes academic success. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring nature and keeping up with the latest research in biology, which further enriches my teaching.

I am a student at Georgia Tech majoring in Biomedical Engineering and pursuing a minor in Robotics. As such, I am skilled in math and science. As an author and researcher, I leverage my reading and writing skills all the time and am passionate about teaching both.I especially enjoy tutoring reading and writing in English and Spanish, from introductory to high school levels. I received an International Skills Diploma Seal and Biliteracy Seal for Spanish on my high school diploma. I believe that learning is fluid and that education is a powerful tool that no one can take away from you.My passion for tutoring developed when I would help younger students and fellow peers and watch that invisible lightbulb light up when they began to understand a topic; it was very rewarding to watch them grow. Learning about students is so fulfilling - there are countless things a tutor can learn.

I am an English teacher who instructs students at the secondary level in English 9 as well as ENGL 1101 and 1102 at the college level. I graduated in 2011 from Kennesaw State University with a Master of Arts degree in Writing. Additionally, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in English Education from Western Carolina University in 2008. I have taught first-year seminar courses as well as learning support English courses at Kennesaw State University; I advised students there for four years after graduation. I teach students who are new to high school and familiarize them with the writing process, and I work with them in reading comprehension, literary analysis, and advanced vocabulary. I am a college adjunct instructor as well and enjoy guiding those students toward becoming academic writers prepared for that specific discourse community. Those courses also focus on rhetoric and writing in all college disciplines. I prefer to tutor students who struggle with writing, and I enjoy seeing the improvement in my students. As a high school teacher, I am familiar with the requirements of the ACT and have experience working with students to improve their scores on the verbal and writing portions of the exam. Education is not just an abstract idea that I believe enhances personal experience and perspective, but it is also my passion and career. When I am not teaching, I enjoy hiking, traveling, and reading.

I am a graduate of Georgia Southwestern State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Middle Grades Education with a focus on Mathematics and English Language Arts.

In my experience, helping struggling students learn effective math strategies that help them understand concepts and master them while making it a positive experence prevents them from despising math. I also prepare for Standardized Tests (with remarkable advancements), by making it fun and keeping them encouraged as they learn how to take their knowledge and understanding of math and apply them to a standardized environment.I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students.In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and visiting historical sites that which enriches my life, expand my knowledge and gives me a better understanding of how to relate to people.

I've also passed my FE Environmental Engineering Exam and can help with test prep for FE exams and SAT exams.

People always ask me why I chose to become a teacher. The truth is that I always knew. Ever since I was a little girl, my mother would always find me with all my toys lined up in front of me, and me in front of a chalkboard teaching them how to draw.There is really nothing like teaching. I think it is the most gratifying profession in the world. I absolutely love the outcome of what I do because I believe in long lasting relationships and long lasting thirst for knowledge. That is exactly what I teach my students. I teach them that the sky is the limit and that "I can't" should not be a part of their vocabulary. I am great at seeing the potential in everyone and not giving up until they see it too and live up to it.For the past 7 years, I have been a part of a wonderful community while working as a High School I.B. Art Teacher for the American School of Quito in Ecuador. I worked with 11th and 12th graders on the production of high quality art production, careful planning, reflection and written critical analysis with creative problem solving skills. This job has brought enormous opportunities for professional and personal growth. Being part of this demanding program has been very challenging but also filled with rewards. Making students' faces light up when their hard efforts pay off and they finally "get it", is priceless!My I.B. annual scores have always been above world average. My students have participated in national and international art contests with magnificent results with prizes and awards. I have formed an amazing bond with them that, I am sure, will last a lifetime. I still have students who I taught 7 years ago, tell me that what I taught them has stayed with them all these years. And like I said, that is what teaching is all about. That is why I became a teacher.I have good conflict resolution skills, I am patient, I am fair and I have enthusiastic energy. I believe I am qualified for a teaching job within your community and I will make a valuable addition to your team.

I have extensive tutoring and teaching experience. I have taught in the classroom for ten years and have about equal years tutoring experience.

I am certified 7-12 English, 4-8 math, reading, language arts and social studies as well as in ESOL and gifted.

We all have are own way to learn, many of us do not lean new things in a traditional way. I believe we always need to always look for to approach a situation. Especially in game design where creativity is key. Just because a student is doing something you are not used to does not make them wrong, as long as we both keep an open mid we can both improve together.

I received my bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Kennesaw State University in 2016. Since then, I've been working as a design engineer.

Hello, my name is Anita and I enjoy helping others. Presently, I work as an associate attorney, and in my free time, I mentor young adults and volunteer at various organizations serving the less fortunate. I love reading, exploring new places and cultures, and I enjoy meeting new people.My academic career has been challenging but rewarding. I understand we are all different and some people tend to be better in some things than they are in others. I too understand my limitations. However, I have tried to help others in any way possible. Most recently, I have tutored students that sat for the Pennsylvania Bar Exam. However, I have also assisted students in elementary school, high school and college. I love learning new things and so for me school was always about exploring areas that I knew nothing about. I recognize that not everyone shares the same passion but I do not believe that the lack of passion should result in negative grades or outcomes. Education is very important and so whether you need a little push or simply more ideas on a subject matter, I look forward to working with you.

I help students gain confidence in math and science by simplifying concepts, teaching step-by-step problem solving, and building strong foundational skills.

After having a fantastic Spanish teacher starting in kindergarten through grade five, I had a bit of hiatus in my learning until going to college where I reached fluency by interacting with friends and teammates along with my own studying. Soon after beginning college, a synergy emerged when I bolstered my informal learnings of Spanish with formal university classes. I graduated from Kennesaw State University with a B.S. in Integrative Studies and a minor in Spanish in 2018 after testing out of several upper level Spanish courses. During my studies, I tutored fellow Spanish learning college students in the Foreign Language and Resource Center on campus, helping those having trouble along with those that wanted to put in extra work for the love of the language. I continued on to study abroad in Malaga, Spain where I was fortunate to be able to travel much of southern Spain, as well as Europe, learning bits of storied history and culture at every turn. It is my goal to help you achieve your goals! For students of all learning levels from struggling to gifted to adults; I am a passionate proponent of not just helping students learn the material, but helping them to learn how to learn the material by allotting focus on not just a student's goals, but the process therein. Some of my interests beyond Spanish and foreign languages are space exploration, playing guitar and soccer, technology, the outdoors and science fiction books and tv/film.

I use websites like DeltaMath and Paul's Online Notes to get practice questions.

I am an undergraduate student at Kennesaw State University, pursuing a Bachelor in the Arts of English alongside a Minor in Professional Writing. Since I was a kid, I've loved reading and writing. After graduating, I decided to share my expertise with other students, and realized that English is a subject many students struggle in. It is a difficult subject to teach, but an important one in our day and age; whatever a student's aspirations may be, a firm grasp of reading and writing is an essential skill.That's why I'm so passionate about tutoring this subject. In a large classroom, it can be hard to take the time to give each student the personal attention they need. Every student's level of understanding is different, so I believe in offering specific, personalized help for students who want to improve their writing. I love tutoring all things English, from Essay Writing and Editing, to Reading Comprehension, all the way to Composition.I believe communication is essential to our professional and personal aspirations, and hope that my students and I can help each other learn and grow as readers and writers.

"Those who don't learn history, are condemned to repeat it...same with the material in your classes, this is where I come in."

As a graduate with a Bachelor of Science in English Education, I am excited about the opportunity to apply my skills and experience in a tutoring environment. In addition to my degree and field experience at the high school level, I also had the pleasure to work with students of all ages abroad, teaching them English. After teaching abroad I began teaching secondary English (grades 5 - 12) at a private school that specializes in teaching students with various learning disabilities and behavioral disorders. I believe that every student deserves patience and enthusiasm placed in their education. My best teachers were ones that took time with me, challenged me, and encouraged me. They are the reason I became a teacher myself, and I hope to share that same kind of passion with the students I work with. I look forward to expanding my own horizons as a teacher and working with students in order to expand their own knowledge.
