Throughout my years of teaching, I have had the pleasure to see my students grow into competent and successful beings. Their confidence grew with our sessions, and they realized that they can do what they thought was the impossible. I enjoy tutoring and teaching because of these moments. There aren’t many professions when you get to help people and see results quickly. This job is one of the few.

BA in Physics and Astrophysics, MS is Physics Education. 21 years experience teaching and tutoring, including online: College Physics and Astrophysics, AP Physics and International Baccalaureate Physics. I have the cumulative skills to reach any student, at any level, with any learning profile and help them reach their goals. I have taken copious numbers of struggling students to a level of mastery in often very difficult subject matter. I am patient and intent on success.

Hi! I am Carlos and I am a professional and highly trained teacher. Education is something I am very passionate about, and teaching is one of the most fulfilling activities I have performed in my life.I have been told by former students that I am a good listener and an easy person to relate to. As a teacher, I look to understand a student's needs and create lessons and activities around those needs.I worked as a bilingual teacher for thirteen years in subjects such as Mathematics, History, Spanish, and Study Skills among others.

I have been with Varsity Tutors since November 2019, and even through the Covid pandemic I helped my scholars improve! I joined Varsity Tutors after realizing the importance of serving children with special needs with love and an open mind. My granddaughter has Down Syndrome, so my family and I had to learn how to provide instructions to special needs scholars especially when it hit home. I have all special needs students while working for Varsity Tutors as an effective Math tutor from the second grade (2nd) to high school (algebra) throughout my tenure. I accept all challenges with a burning desire to prove students with different conditions can still excel if you motivate them and connect the math to similar life experiences so they can connect and remember the steps to solve multi-level equations and word problems. I am a retired high school Mathematics and track coach, who has dedicated my life to helping my students, scholars, and athletes to successfully pass and complete the NCAA ClearingHouse standards to obtain scholarships to elite colleges and universities. During my forty-two years of assisting my athletes in Math, I observed that people learn and retain information differently, so I assess their learning capabilities, and then I strengthen their skills. The key element to higher learning is engaging the student(s), then connecting the complexity of the math problem to their knowledge. This approach gives the student a reference to remember the required steps to solve the problems. I want to help as many students as possible with methods that they can remember for life. I have had success with elementary, middle and high school students for four (4) consecutive years while working for Varsity Tutors! Let me help your child/scholar regardless of their special needs! I have been teaching special needs students for 15 years at the same school! Failure is not an option!

I am a Finance major at Mercy College in New York, having transferred this Fall from Vanderbilt University in Nashville. My goal to simply help my students achieve the results they desire and to help them set up the habits which will let them reproduce these results in the future.

My mission is to inspire students to believe in themselves. I teach students with compassion and patience. I work towards helping students progress by meeting their intellectual and emotional needs. I firmly believe in the implementation of effective practices and fostering an environment that encourages student growth and positive results. Motivating students to be independent thinkers and apply the strategies taught to them will help them overcome challenges. In doing this, students are able to accomplish their goals. I truly enjoy working with students to help them excel and achieve their highest potential.

I am an alumni from San Francisco State University. I hold a Masters of Arts in Mathematics, and a Masters of Science in Physics. I have lecturing experience at upper division level, and I am open to tutor in both fields of study, (I am also fluent in Spanish). My goal is to return to University for my Phd, so my passion for tutoring is greatly held up by the need of staying sharp and focused.

I am a graduate of The University of Rochester, where I acquired a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature, and Mercy college, where I earned a Master's of Urban Education and Policy. Since graduation I have spent 15 years honing my teaching and tutoring skills. I have taught and tutored a broad spectrum of courses but prefer teaching Algebra and Writing. I am passionate about Writing because I enjoy it on a personal level. I enjoy teaching Algebra because as a student I struggled with the concepts and so I can empathize with students who don't understand. As a result, I've developed several different strategies to help explain Algebra to struggling students. I firmly believe that education provides a necessary foundation for life and that the relationship between the teacher and student is a key factor to learning. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, attending concerts, hiking, and spending time with family.

I am a graduate of Duquesne University where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism with a focus on Broadcast. I also received a minor degree in French. I received a Master of Science in Education with a focus on Middle Childhood Education Grades 5-9, from Mercy College. I have also received teaching certifications in the states of New York and Pennsylvania. I am licensed to teach Elementary Education Grades K-6 in Pennsylvania, and I am licensed to teach Elementary Education Grades 1-6 and Middle Childhood Education Grades 5-9 in New York. Since attaining my degrees, licenses, and certifications, I have taught many grade levels that consisted of an array of students from different cultures, races, creeds, and nationalities. In my opinion, the most rewarding part of teaching and tutoring is watching students become enlightened in a variety of content areas that foster academic growth and creativity. I have been tutoring for about seven years now. I love to give each student one-on-one attention. That is why I enjoy tutoring. I believe the more attention a student gets, the more the student is able to learn and retain, which ultimately leads to academic success.

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.

Little did I know becoming an educator would be more than a career choice; it became a time for my own character education. The years I served as a classroom teacher were as much about me learning as they were about instructing others. Since then, my commitment to support the development and self-improvement of others has not wavered.Ten years as a public school teacher equates to approximately 2,000 students and was a pivotal time in cultivating skills as an instructional designer. It was also critical in honing my abilities as a facilitator who successfully engages participants and adapts instruction to meet diverse learning styles.I am NYS certified English teacher with ten years of instructional, design and assessment experience for both general and honors programs, and a Master of Science degree in Adolescence Education. I specialize in tutoring English, Literature, Writing, Vocabulary, SAT, ACT, NYS English Regents, and general topics related to language arts.

I am a graduate of The College of New Rochelle. I received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling with a focus of Adolescents and Families. I also have an Associates in Paralegal Studies, and Bachelors in Behavioral Science, and another Masters in Sports Exercise Psychology. Since graduation, I have been a entrepreneur and coach for single moms and their children on how to reset their lives after the incarceration of a loved one. With my guidance, moms discover how to bury the "prison wifey" stigma as they create a fulfilling life for themselves and their children. I have tutored both children and adults one to one that were seeking extra help in Math, English, Science, Social Studies, etc. and Special Education. As I am a certified Life and Transitional Coach that has experience in working in group home settings, court facilitated settings, schools, and private home based. I am most passionate with Special Education and the flexibility of being able to not only teach and mentor and advocate but to help a student grow. I believe that anybody can learn as long as it is fun and exciting and stretches them beyond their comfort zone. In my spare time, I enjoy golfing, educating my children and traveling and mentoring and coaching in the realm of life skill, mindset, finances, emotional trauma, etc.

As a child, I was privileged to have a positive educational experience within an area of the Bronx that is still considered to be of high need. One thing that has resonated with me in my childhood education were the teachers that I had. My kindergarten teacher Ms. Rolfe showed me how to make pink chocolate on Valentines Day. My first grade teacher, Ms. Clayborne, gave away her lunch breaks so that she could help me with my spelling. My second grade teacher, Ms. Dillon,inspired me to become an avid reader. My third grade teacher, Mrs. Kasper, made sure I did my homework every night when she noticed that I was slacking. The optimism of Mrs. Hamilton in fourth grade motivated me to make the honor roll, and my fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Farkus pushed me to get one of the highest standardized tests scores in the school. Each of these public school teachers created a climate within the class thatpromoted learning and student achievement.Over the years, I have met many professionals that have shared horror stories about their experiences with teachers who doubted them or did not set them up for success. As an educator, I have become cognizant of the fact that I ultimately create the learning environment of my students. Knowing that students depend on me each day to guide them into become better versions of themselves is an incredible task that I amwilling to take. As an educator, I hope to empower the youth of today to become the leaders of tomorrow. And as a New York State teacher, one way in which I know I can achieve thisis by paying it forward. My goal would be to provide the same rigorous and joyful education my former teachers provided me.

As a current undergraduate student, academics have always been important to me. About a year ago I finished up the college application process and was finally able to sit back and be proud of myself and what I had accomplished throughout my high school career.Being proud of my academic achievements has always given me such a sense of fulfillment, and by being a tutor I hope to pass that good feeling on :~)

I graduated from Monroe College in 2003 with a degree in Business Management. In 2006 I graduated from Mercy College with my Masters in Student with Learning Disabilities. I'm currently a Middle School Special Education Teacher. A great tutor is someone who is able to work off of the students' interest and make it part of their learning process, which is a quality I possess. I treat each session as if we are learning together, which we are. Outside of academia I enjoy playing video games, collecting comics, listening to all types of music, and reading.

Hi there, my name is Ysabel! I am Latina, know the culture, customs and grew up speaking spanish. I enjoy teaching and helping others and will like to share my knowledge with you and guide you throughout the process of learning. I have experience teaching children, adolescents, adults, and special education. I am currently in the field of psychology and have experience teaching studying skills and organizational skills. I have experience working with students with various mental health disorders.I enjoy playing chess and other board games. I also enjoy reading, and spending time with my family.

I'm currently a first grade teacher at KIPP Academy Charter school. I graduated from Mercy College in 2006 with a degree in Psychology, and am currently in graduate school pursuing a masters in Early Childhood Education. I have been teaching for over five years. I have a passion for teaching. I love to see students accomplish their academic goals to become successful in life. I'm also bilingual speaking Spanish/English. My teaching philosophy is every child has a strengths, every child can reach their potential and every child can learn.

As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's degree in English from Mercy College, I am dedicated to fostering a love for literature and language in my students. With over 2 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in Elementary School English and UK A Level English Literature. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to express themselves and explore their ideas. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet the individual needs of each student, ensuring they gain confidence and achieve their academic goals. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading and exploring various literary genres, which I often incorporate into my lessons to spark students' interest.

The best way to learn is through play! That's my philosophy. It's the way I learn best, so why not teach that way as well? I like to take my students on a journey of curiosity and investigation until they reach their own conclusion. I spent my childhood running through some of the best and biggest parks in The Bronx letting my curiosity lead the way. While reading, I focus on methods authors use to keep my interest and show my students how to use those methods to improve their own writing. I find the history of our country and our planet to be amazing and have developed projects that make learning about it more interesting. I must admit that like many students, I hated math growing up, but somehow math found its way into my heart (throughout my ten years of teaching) and it refuses to leave!When I am not teaching, I am swimming, dancing, or singing out loud and off key. I try to incorporate fun and laughter into my life whenever possible and LEARNING IS THE GREATEST PART OF LIVING!

I am a New York City Teacher. I am certified to teach both Special Education and General Education grades 1-6. I completed my education at Hunter College School of Education. I have spent the last 3 years teaching grades 1-5 in the NYC Public school system. I have taught all academic subjects, Reading, writing, Math, Science and Social Studies. I have been trained to become an effective Educator through the NYC Teaching Fellow Program. I feel all children are capable of learning and succeeding. It is my job to meet them where they are and help to pull them up. I hope that I will be awarded the opportunity to come into your home via online session or in person to help your child reach their full potential.

I am a graduate of Mercy College and Fordham University. At Mercy College, I received my MS in Urban Education with a concentration in special education. As for my undergraduate studies, I received a BA in Political Science and Spanish Studies with a minor in Latin American Studies. My work experience includes over three years of teaching experience. During that time, I created lesson plans, assessed data, and planned out goals for my students. My expertise is in Spanish and Math, but I have taught ELA, social studies, and science. Moreover, one of my specialties is preparing students for the NYS exams including the REGENTS exams. The teaching philosophy I find most effective is to customize lessons based on the student's interests and learning style. In my spare time, I play tennis and volleyball.

The job of a teacher or tutor involves the consideration of many different factors and variables when working with students. It is not as simple as passing on information about a subject or topic. As instructors, we must not only inform, but also explain, clarify, backtrack, bring in outside examples, and respond to challenging questions. We must comfort and relax our students, and help them develop tools for success. We know that our job is challenging, because if our job were easy, then our students wouldn't need us.I feel that it takes someone who is cognizant of all of these things in order to be a truly effective educator. During my 8+ years as a high school chemistry teacher and tutor, I have developed the experience and the skills in order to help students with challenging subjects, and not only to improve their grades, but to improve their understanding and confidence with which they approach their classes. While my own knowledge of chemistry and math is very strong, that means nothing if I can not pass it on to people learning the subjects. That is where I take pride in my abilities though - my students over the years consistently praised my ability to take complex ideas and break them down into relatable and manageable ideas. I have seen countless students struggle initially, only to succeed and flourish with a little bit of effort and assistance.If you are interested in being tutored, you are most likely a bright, hardworking student. Chemistry and math are very difficult subjects to master, and very few people make it through them without the assistance of teachers, peers, or tutors. I am here to help any students that are looking to feel more confident and comfortable, to improve their grades, to gain better understanding of fascinating topics, and to prepare themselves for the rigors of college or graduate school. I will do whatever it takes to help you master the material, drawing on my years of experience and all of the practice I have had with these subjects. I take being an educator very seriously, and I will help anybody that is looking to help themselves.

I am a graduate of University of New Haven. I received my Bachelor degree in Political Science with a focus on history. Since graduation, worked in government in economic development which caused a love for finance. I have studied for the SIE and passed it and helped other people pass the SIE. I am most passionate about History. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun. 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 reading that which enriches my life, yoga, golf, and working out.

Before I started my career in teaching I substituted in many school zones to see if I would like teaching. I also coached the girls softball team. I enjoy children and found that I really wanted to help the kids. I received my Masters in Earth Science. I have been teaching science for eight years in the New York City System specifically in the Bronx. I am eager to help students in small groups or one on one. Teaching in such a diverse environment really helped in my classroom management and differential teaching methods. Earth Science is everywhere--just outside!

I am a former New York City public school teacher with experience in English, journalism, economics and global history. I believe that all children can learn and that it is my responsibility to help each student discover which style of learning suits them best. My goal is to help students build stamina—important in an age of increased standardized testing—and provide learning strategies that will help them become life-long independent learners.One of my favorite ways to teach is through the use of questioning—a strategy that dates back thousands of years to Socrates. During tutoring sessions, observers will notice that I will usually ask a series of questions designed to allow the learner to reach a correct conclusion on his or her own. This teaching strategy develops critical-thinking skills and provides a sense of personal satisfaction to the learner that does not come from being simply provided with answers.To keep things interesting and aid retention, students may also be asked to assume the role of teacher during a tutoring session. (Research suggests that student retention increases to 90 percent when the student is asked to teach a concept or skill to another person.)Also, students will sometimes be asked to tell me everything they know about a topic, then be encouraged to write down a series of questions they may have. Our tutoring session then may focus on strategies to help the student answer his or her own questions. (This format for tutoring sessions is suited to students who are struggling in a given subject area and to those who are expecting to continue their education after high school.)As a high school teacher, I was known for using technology in my classroom in order to help every student learn at his or her own pace. Students often participated in online discussions using their cell phones and created essays that were posted online for other students to review.Before becoming a teacher, I was a newspaper reporter and manager at national magazines such as Harper's Bazaar and Fitness. During my career in journalism, I learned that the written word is a powerful tool. I decided to become a teacher to empower students through the use of writing.

Highly motivated educator with demonstrated leadership in improving academic and personal development of students from diverse populations. Experience includes working in urban public school districts in the Bronx, Harlem, and Brooklyn, New York. International ESL/ELL teaching experience in two well-known universities in Saudi Arabia. Highly motivated communicator skilled in building positive relationships with a commitment to helping all students meet their highest potential.

I teach High School algebra in NYC. I have a Bachelors in Mathematics and I'm currently a Grad students at CUNY Lehman College, with concentration in Math Education. I have great passion for teaching and have been an educator since 2012.

My belief is that anyone can learn. We all learn in different ways.In life when we set clear goals and bring a ready mindset, our goals are ready to become a reality.My teaching style is based on honing in on the multiple intelligences.I implement a well structured learning hour.A lesson will consist of modeling for the student, student practice by motivating students and focusing on their strengths while gently helping them with their academic weaknesses.In the last five minutes of each session, I incorporate writing in a journal, so students can write down goals and ideas about their school day or even one new concept they have learned and mastered.Later on in time, students can read their journal and see how much they have accomplished!

Embarking on the journey of education can be an exciting and equally anxiety provoking endeavor. There are many exams to take, projects to complete, and deadlines to meet. This is in no way an easy journey but it is a worthwhile one. A journey that will see you grow into your true potential. Whenever you gain a new piece of understanding of the world around you, your perception of the world forever changes, you see things you could not see before. This is a magical process; my life is dedicated to facilitating this process for others. I began my own journey of higher education with the Biological Sciences. During my third year of college I constantly found myself in a position where I was helping my peers understand the material and I realized that I thoroughly enjoyed doing this. I began working as a tutor at my college and then worked as a teaching assistant in the Gross Anatomy and Cell Biology Labs. From there I went to medical school in Brooklyn, NY. During medical school I continued developing my passion for teaching. Running tutoring sessions for my peers and underclassmen, organizing a medical education and exposure program for high school students known as HPREP, creating educational materials in the form of video demonstrations, and eventually being hired as an adjunct professor of Gross Anatomy for the Occupational Therapy program at Downstate Medical Center. I am currently in the medical education track at my school and in training to become a full-time faculty member after graduating. My teaching style is focused on meeting the student where they are. I always begin assessing the current knowledge base and level of understanding so I can have a good idea of where to start. From there we will work together and I will adapt my teaching style according to how the student best assimilates knowledge. I take pride in being adaptable and flexible. Thank you for taking the time to read my personal statement. I would be excited to obtain the opportunity to work with you.

I am an intuitive listener who likes to communicate with people and to analyze what they say in order to understand them, connect with them, and influence their growth into more optimistic and moral people.

My Name is Dykeisha and I tutor both ELA and Art. I have a passion for both these subjects as I love reading writing, and creating from my mind. I love teaching students to understand the basics of ELA and Art so that they can advocate and express who they are. Like everything in life, these subjects are a process and no one is perfect in them. I do not believe in perfection. I believe in strong effort and not giving up. I have a bachelor's degree of Fine Arts and majored in Computer arts and design with a concentration of 2D character design and Animation. With a masters of arts in Teaching. I love teaching outside the box especially because I know what its like to not see yourself in certain industries. I am now in my 6 years of teaching Special Education and each year is different and exciting.

As an OG reading specialist and EF coach, I support learners who struggle with reading and skills like organization, time management, and task completion. Many families come to me feeling frustrated or worried because traditional tutoring hasn't workedand I understand that feeling deeply. My personalized sessions focus on phonics, decoding, and multisyllabic reading using structured, multisensory OG instruction, paired with EF strategies that help learners stay organized, focused, and confident. I believe real progress happens when students are supported academically and cognitively. Sessions are engaging, research-based, and always delivered with patience and care. I meet each learner exactly where they are and help them build independence and skills that last beyond tutoring sessions. I'm honored to be recognized in the 2025 Edition of Who's Who in America for contributions to educational equity and empowerment. I'm ready to partner with you to help your learner thrive!

I have experience mentoring young and mature adults in reading and writing skills. As a New York public school teacher, I taught reading comprehension and writing skills to South Bronx high school students at The Metropolitan High School. I have contributed to the above average ELA Regents pass rate at my high school through assignments developed to build confidence in reading and writing skills. I also helped develop a college prep course focused on the skills required to improve career decision-making and scores of college entrance assessments. As a production manager for ten years, I also have experience mentoring clients of small publishers and printing companies as they prepared their texts for print production in a global marketplace. My experience in public school teaching and in copy editing and proofreading helps me teach students the reading and writing skills required in academic and business communication.Data from students’ written work and assessments helps me plan curriculum that increases understanding of basic reading and writing mechanics. I use graphic organizers to help students analyze literary and informational texts. When possible, I incorporate technology in classroom presentations to modify instruction for learning modalities.

With over 20 years of experience in education, I bring a deep passion for helping students grow into confident, capable readers and writers. I've spent my career working closely with learners of all levels, guiding them to strengthen their math skills and English Language Arts skills from foundational skills to mastering skills. My teaching style can be described as the 3C's of success: captivate, consistency and catapult. Captivate=Every student can learn when given an opportunity to engage them in captivating lessons that reflect their interests while covering the core curriculum. Consistency=Tutoring is most effective when it functions like fitness training repetition is key to retention. Catapult= Learners will elevate their skills, gain and retain knowlege which boost their confidence. Whether you're looking to improve your ELA or math skills, tutoring with me will help you better understand and build strong academic skills. I'm here to help you reach your goals.

I am a graduate student at Mercy College, studying to earn my Doctorate of Physical Therapy. Two things I am passionate about are movement, and helping people, which luckily fits very nicely to my career goals. Education is so important and should be a fun experience for everyone. By helping students on an individual level, I hope to make learning science more enjoyable. Biology is my specialty but can help explain basic concepts in Chemistry and Physics as well. I have helped a variety of students, ranging from 2nd grade to undergraduate in college. In my spare time, I am often studying, running, playing with my two dogs, or watching sports (football, hockey, and basketball are my favorites, but I'll watch anything).

Teaching as always been my favorite thing to do. As a child I would always try to teach my teddy bears and dolls. As I continued to grow I found the love of Mathematics. I figured if I put both of these together it would be a very good career path, which is why I am a Mathematics Education Major today.The challenge of thinking and processing the logics of mathematics as always attracted me. As a member of the Mercy College Community I think that I would be a great fit for you and your needs with Mathematics. My ultimate goal in life is to be a 7th - 8th grade Mathematics Teacher with a focus in the topic of Algebra.

I am a certified English teacher who has taught and tutored students in grades 7 - 12 for 23 years. I attained my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and Secondary Education certification in 2000 from Lycoming College. I then attained my Master of Arts in English Literature in 2011 from Mercy College. I enjoy teaching and tutoring because I love to witness the moments when my students are successful. My objective as an educator is to learn about my students in order to assist them in discovering their strengths. This is so that they can learn how to help themselves at reaching their own goals.

Algebra became my favorite subject in High School, so much so that I tutored Algebra in College for 2 semesters. Today, I'm a Substitute Teacher for Osceola Public Schools, preparing to take the FTCE to become a certified Math Instructor.

I focus on practical, human-centered learning tailored to the needs of the student. I have 5+ years in business leadership with industry-recognized certifications and experience mentoring across startups, nonprofits, and enterprises. My approach is grounded in active listening and adapting to each student. I connect lessons to real-world scenarios so students understand both the what and the why, and can confidently apply what they learn.
