Award-Winning Tutors from Lamar University

I am a graduate of Texas State University where I received my bachelor in Business Marketing. After completing my bachelor I went on to obtain my teaching certificate. I went on to obtain my Masters in Educational Leadership from Lamar University. Since obtaining my teaching certificate I have spent many years in the classroom as a teacher. I have 7 years of classroom teaching experience, as well as 2 years of leadership experience as an instructional coach and assistant principal. I love working with all ages of Elementary students, and better understanding what their needs are, and how I can help them to be successful! I believe that in order for a student to be successful you need to get to know them and truly understand their learning style, and I pride myself on ensuring I build a relationship with all of my students and I do everything I can to ensure their growth and progress. Being a mom to 4 amazing children I don't have a lot of spare time, but when I do have it I enjoy being outside!

I have been an educator and sports coach for over nine years. I have taught in elementary, middle, and high schools. I continue to coach girls soccer at the varsity level. I have just finished my master's degree in Educational Administration and will begin my doctorate degree in sports administration.

As a graduate of Lamar University with a Bachelor's degree in American Sign Language, I am passionate about helping students build confidence and achieve their academic goals.

My expertise includes American Sign Language (ASL), Mathematics, Reading, Writing, English Language Arts, Science, Adult Literacy, Phonics, Public Speaking, and Test Preparation.

My goal is to create a supportive environment where students feel confident, engaged, and empowered to reach their full potential.

I am a graduate of Lamar University where I earned a Masters degree in Educational Leadership. I also attended The University of Phoenix and received my Bachelors degree in Business/Accounting. Although I have a degree in Accounting, my passion is in education. I taught 6th grade Math and 4th grade ELAR and I have tutored all grade levels from early childhood through College Educational courses. I have extensive experience as a teacher mentor focusing on instructional strategies that improve student outcomes. I believe that every student can learn! My teaching style includes modeling, clear and precise expectations and celebrating the progress and accomplishments of my students!

As an educator, I believe every student can succeed when they feel supported, encouraged, and challenged at the right level. My teaching philosophy centers on building strong relationships, creating a positive learning environment, and helping students develop confidence in their abilities. I strive to make learning engaging, meaningful, and tailored to each student's individual needs and learning style.

I graduated with a 4.0 from Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, with a Bachelor's of Arts in English. While pursuing my degree, I logged over 600 hours in the public school classroom working mostly with middle school and high school students, although I did have some experience working with elementary school students. I have taught in whole class, small group, and individual settings, and I anticipate receiving my Texas teacher certification by the end of January 2014. I believe all students can learn and achieve through practice and hard work, regardless of the subject area and individual strengths and weaknesses. I love reading for recreation, but I am extremely passionate about writing; I believe that this passion transfers well to my students. I am comfortable tutoring any English related subject, beyond Reading Comprehension and Writing. My other hobbies include listening to music and shopping both of which attracted me to the Austin area. I believe that learning lasts a lifetime, and as a part of my journey to become a lifelong learner, I am currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

As an MBA candidate in Business Analytics with a background in Electrical Engineering, I'm passionate about guiding students through analytical and technical subjects. I tutor Math, Statistics, Data Analytics tools (Excel, SQL, Python, Tableau), and Research Methods. My teaching philosophy is centered on clarity, patience, and helping learners connect theory to application. I've previously mentored interns and supported team learning in a professional research setting, and I enjoy helping others achieve the same confidence and curiosity in learning.

As a dedicated educator with over five years of tutoring and sixteen years of classroom experience, I hold a Master's degree in Business Administration from Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi and a Master's in Principalship from Lamar University. My expertise spans a variety of subjects, including Elementary and High School English, Reading, and Writing, as well as Poetry. I am passionate about fostering a supportive learning environment where students can thrive academically and creatively. My teaching philosophy centers on connecting with students through engaging, interactive lessons that inspire a love for learning and build confidence in their abilities. I am committed to helping each student achieve their personal best and take pride in witnessing their growth and success.

With a background in Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, and Sustainable Research, it may be surprising to learn that I excel at making math topics easy to understand and relatable.

I have my B.S. in Exercise Science & Fitness Management and my M.S. in Human Performance. I have 15+ plus years in the Health, Wellness and Physical Rehabilitation profession. I have successfully tutored, mentored and trained over 50+ personal trainers and wellness coaches in the areas of certification prep, working with clients with physical limitations and business marketing development to help them acquire more clients.Overall, I LOVE the health and wellness profession as I am now at a stage in my career and life where it brings me absolute joy to share my knowledge, expertise and passion with others in the profession that are new, fairly new and eager to work in this awesome profession.Due to that passion and just with my perspective on life, I have high energy at times. So don't be surprised if I start to cheer or say "whooohoooo" or "let's goooo" when you get a correct answer or master a certain concept. I love to celebrate people's "wins".One of my favorite quotes is "The greatest wealth is health" by Virgil (A Roman Poet)

I know how difficult school and studying can be at times, and that is why I am passionate about helping students succeed. I am still a student myself as I am wrapping up my M.Ed. degree in Counseling and Human Development at Lamar University. My graduation will be in December of this year. My undergraduate degree was a BA in History at the University of Georgia. My main areas of knowledge are in history and psychology/counseling, and I am a huge fan of those subjects. I really enjoy telling the stories that can be found in history, and I am so intrigued with how the mind works. My teaching and learning philosophy is that anyone can learn anything. Sometimes we just need a little bit of help to get over some hurdles. I have a pretty laid-back style when it comes to working with people as well. In my spare time, I like to exercise, watch sports, do just about anything outdoors, and play adult league baseball.

Hi, I'm Olivia! I'm a certified teacher with experience working with students in both online and traditional classroom settings. One of my favorite things about teaching is helping students gain confidence in themselves and their abilities. I know that everyone learns differently, so I focus on meeting students where they are. I strive to make sessions engaging, supportive, and encouraging so students feel comfortable asking questions, tackling challenges, and reaching their goals.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies from The University of North Texas. Once I graduated, I quickly landed my dream position as a second grade math and science teacher. I then transferred to a school closer to home, to teach 4th grade. I quickly fell in love with teaching older students my favorite subject, math! After four years with 4th grade, I was moved to 5th grade math and social studies. I soon realized I loved the conversations that my classes and I would have when reading articles or learning about the American Revolution. After one year in 5th grade, I decided to go back to school to obtain my Masters in School Counseling from Lamar University. My ten years in teaching have taught me alot, but the most important is that every child learns differently. It is not always easy, but when I can figure out how to adapt to each students needs it is truly rewarding to see how excited they are when they understand new concepts.

I am a graduate of Lamar University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering. I also received a Master of Business Administration from the University of Southern California. I worked eleven years in corporate business as a chemical engineer, until I chose to leave to pursue my passion which is education. For the last thirteen years, I have been teaching developmental math classes at the community college level. In addition, I have been tutoring students of all ages and levels.I enjoy tutoring students, because you get to experience that light bulb moment with them. They realize that things aren't as complex as they were originally thinking. I emphasize showing the rules of math. So often students get confused on certain concepts because they have learned some type of shortcut in the past, which does not apply with all cases. However, if the students just know the rules, they can apply their knowledge with any given problem. The rules will never change; the only thing that changes are the numbers.My tutoring work also helps me be a better classroom teacher, because by working one-on-one you learn where the misunderstandings may be with a particular concept.

"I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way" (Houston, 1991). I love students, and I love to see students light up when they have a "lightbulb moment," and that's what I want to give to the students I serve. I want to see you learn and enjoy what and how you're learning. I love to create lessons that are engaging, interactive, and connects learning to living. I believe the lessons and skills we will remember or the lessons we've experienced. I was a middle school ELA teacher with a certification in ELA/Reading. I am a graduate of University of Houston-Downtown, and I am pursuing a graduate degree in Counseling from Lamar University in Beaumont, TX. As you might expect, I love reading. Books have taken me to places I can only dream of, it has given me a wealth of knowledge, and I can hold dinner conversation with anybody (lol). I love traveling and spending time with my family. I want to help as many scholars as possible realize their greatest potential. Reading and comprehension is key in every subject, and I want to help you learn skills that will aid you in and across content.

I am a graduate Lamar University and Walden University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Family Consumer Sciences and a Master of Science in Public Health. I have been a public school teacher for 9 years teaching 4-8 English Language Arts and Reading and Career Tech 6-12. I am passionate about English Language Arts and Reading and love to witness students "Aha" moments. I aim to bring engagement, fun, and academic achievement to every learner I have the opportunity to work with.

I like math and the critical thinking that it involves. I see math problems as little puzzles to be put together and solved, and puzzles are also one of my favorite hobbies. Math problems can often be solved in more than just one way, and finding different ways to solve one problem is something that always keeps math interesting for me. Math, in my opinion, is one subject that can help develop the ability to see different perspectives of a single situation.I am a certified Texas Teacher. I have taught math in K-4 and in high school. I have also taught special education in these grades, as well. Reading and writing education are also on my list of strong points.I am a good tutor because I strongly think that with proper attention and patience, all students can understand and dominate math.

Why reinvent the wheel? The wheel is so boring....I have been teaching for almost 20 years. I have a unique style of getting to know each student personally and meeting them where they are. I believe that technology has made the educational playing field level as each student has the ability to have a truly individual education tailored just to them.

Hi! My name is Alli. I have been tutoring for the past four years, but I have been helping my fellow classmates for most of my life. I have worked with elementary to early high school students. My main focus is math but I am able to tutor any subject for the younger grades. I have been in the Gifted and Talented and AP programs my whole life so I am good at challenging work. I look forward to working with you guys! Please let me know if you have any questions!

I have been an educator for nine years. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies at Prairie View A&M University and I earned my Masters In Teaching Leadership at Lamar University.

As a teacher with 10 years of experience, I am excited about the opportunity to apply my skills and experience here at Varsity Tutors. In addition to my Masters in Education, I have found history, government and economics extremely exciting and linked together in many respects. I also have 3 years experience teaching history and government to high school students. What I have learned through that experience was that to get kids to understand and value historical events, I had to make these events come to life. I implemented unorthodox teaching strategies such as combining film, biographies and historical accounts together to make these events memorable for them. I am passionate about teaching and helping students come to love the act of learning and I would cherish the opportunity to transform the way your students view history, government and economics.

I am a graduate for Hardin Jefferson and then went on to get my bachelor's in history at Lamar University. I love History and I what to pass that passion for the subject on to my students in the classroom or when tutoring. I am a strong believer in Using Graphic organizers to help organize the information in history. I know the subject isn't easy and I will do all I can to make sure your student is successful.

Throughout high school, I struggled in my Algebra classes, so I know what it is like to "not get it." As an adult, I FINALLY "got it!" I have been teaching Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 for the past 25 years, and I would have to say that my passion is helping students who struggle like I did. I pride myself on being able to explain things in a way that my students understand what it is that I am talking about. My work experience also includes 12 years at the community college level teaching College Prep Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced Algebra. I have a BBA in Marketing, Texas Secondary Math Teacher Certification, ESL Certification, and a MS in School Counseling. I love working with high school students and I find great joy when I see my students not only learning, but having fun while doing so.

After more than fifteen years teaching high school and college American history, I find that some students either need or want additional help/instruction after the school bell rings. I have tutored students for the last 7 years in small group or one and one to help them master certain aspects of history: content, skill based, or test-taking strategies.I specialize in US History with emphasis on writing for standardized tests and AP exams. I have a MA in History from McNeese State University and I am AP certified, Social Studies 7-12 certified, and I am an AP reader for the College Board. I have years of training on AP US History writing styles and rubrics.I believe in meeting students where they are academically and helping them understand content and writing skills to pass classes and/or tests. I love American History and also hope to help students learn to love it....or at least tolerate it a bit more.

It will be my pleasure to work with you toward the success of your assessment. As a 15 year veteran to education, I have been involved in many different facets of standardized tests, assessments, and preparation for college. As a current doctoral student, I have pledged myself to become a lifelong learner and I hope that you will too!

I am a passionate educator who loves inspiring students!

I am a lover of life, learning, and love. I strive to increase the capacity to learn as well as the enjoyment of learning. I continue to strive to increase my knowledge and wisdom to share with those around me.

I am a graduate of Midwestern State University with a Bachelor of Business Administration and Economics and Lamar University with a Master's in Education Administration. I am a secondary math certified teacher and absolutely love math and love teaching students. One of my favorite things about tutoring is seeing students build understanding and confidence. I've been a secondary math curriculum and instruction specialist for a large school district where I wrote math curriculum and coached math teachers. I've also been an administrator in the roles of Academic Achievement Specialist and Director of Instruction. I use many strategies to help students learn and remember the content! Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading, walking, and bowling.

I am a graduate of Lamar University with an M.A. in English with a focus on writing and an M.Ed. in Education Administration. I have been both a junior high/high school English teacher and a college English instructor for 11 years. I've also taught P.E., Speech, Professional Communications, and Theater Arts. Also, I spent 2 years as an administrator for an elementary school campus. In addition, I have been a freelance copywriter/content writer for 5 years. While I tutor a wide-range of subjects, I'm most passionate about helping students become better writers. I believe that strong reading and writing skills will help students be successful in whatever they do. Also, I believe that every student can succeed if given the proper support and motivation. That's why I got into education and why I continue to tutor students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and watching fantasy and scifi, exercising, and writing both fiction and digital content.

My passion for education began in college while tutoring K8 math. For the past 10 years, I've worked in Special Education and now serve as an Educational Diagnostician. I'm dedicated to understanding learning struggles, identifying the root of a student's disconnect, and building the foundational skills that guide them toward their next milestone.

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.

Hi ! Nice to meet you :) I am Ms.Latson, I am so excited to be able to help support you in learning English. I have many years of experience working with students all over the world learning the English. English yes is difficult but can be fun too. Let me be your tutor, we can discover and explore the language so you see it is not so scary. I have taught students from 13- 18 years old. So I am well prepared to work with diverse backgrounds.

I believe that a student's learning foundation is very important to their success in their educational career. Helping students develop that strong foundation is my passion.

My name is Nathan Rose and I am currently a Junior at Lamar University in Beaumont. I am studying Mechanical Engineering, so it may be obvious that I enjoy math! I know that math doesn't come easy to a lot of people, so I am excited to take this opportunity to help you achieve your goals.

As a dedicated educator with a Doctorate in General Education, I am passionate about fostering a supportive learning environment where students can thrive in mathematics. With over 5 years of tutoring and classroom experience, I specialize in Algebra, Geometry, and Middle School Math. My teaching philosophy centers on building strong relationships with students, using interactive methods to engage them in problem-solving and critical thinking. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and I am committed to helping them achieve their academic goals. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and watching college football.

I have a BS degree from Texas Women's University in Kinesiology/Math specialized in coaching. I also have a MEd degree from Lamar University. My career consisted of 30 years teaching middle and high school math classes, serving as the high school testing coordinator and middle school assistant principal. Several years were spent coaching girls sports at the middle school and high school level. During this time I have taught all levels of math classes as well as all levels of students. I understand students learn from different types of instruction, different types of environments and sometimes lots of patience. As an educator I have taught other topics besides math. I always build on what the student already knows about the topic. If very little is known, then we explore and create a base of knowledge.

I am a graduate of Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. I received my Bachelor or Science degree in 2006, with a teaching certificate for English, Language Arts, and Reading, (4-8) and Social Studies (4-8). I received my Master of Education in Administration in 2009, with a principal certification. I also have Dyslexic and 504 training. While in college I tutored algebra and geometry. My favorite class in college was trigonometry. After college, I taught reading and social studies at the junior high level. i enjoyed teaching both, but I believe I am most passionate about reading. I am also really good at helping my students with test-taking strategies. If you understand how to read the question, you have a better chance of passing the test. Each student dictates my teaching style. I know not all students learn the same way. Being dyslexic myself, I like to see what learning style best meets the needs of my students and I adapt my teaching style to meet their needs. Outside of teaching I love spending time with my grandchildren. They are the light of my heart. Spending time with family and friends.

I consider myself to have two lives. For the 18 years of my adult life I worked at various positions at a major oil company assisting lawyers, geologists, and engineers. I decided to complete my bachelor's degree and become an educator. I have a bachelor's degree in Applied Arts and Science, master's degrees in School Administration and School Counseling from Lamar University. I have the following certifications: Special Education, ESL, Generalist (Grades 4-8), Principal, and School Counselor. I have training in assessing for dyslexia and providing skills training for the identified students. I have worked with struggling learners in both the special education and general education population. I have worked with other educators to develop appropriate educational plans for individual students. I believe that all students can learn but that each student needs to be reached in the way that is appropriate for him/her.

I am a lifelong learner with a diverse academic background, holding four nursing degrees (LVN, RN A.D., BSN, MSNEd), a BA in Psychology, and a BA in History. I passed both the NCLEXPN and NCLEXRN in 76 questions. My clinical strengths include psychiatric/mental health, endocrine, cardiology, immunology, pharmacology, and medical/ surgical nursing. I have spent much of my career in mental health and have volunteered with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the Kidney.fund and UNOS (United Network of Organ Sharing), where I inform the world about Organ Donation. I recognize that the NCLEX is a challenging exam, but I believe that structured collaboration makes success achievable. Together, we will review your test scores, create a clear outline, and engage in focused discussions. From there, we will build a personalized plan and schedule that defines your progress step-by-step. My goal is to guide you with clarity, consistency, and support as you move toward passing the NCLEX.
