Hello! My name is Arianna Crossman, and I am a senior at Michigan Technological University pursuing a degree in Human Factors Engineering with minors in Business and Mathematics. My experience working with children comes from growing up with six siblings, serving as a teaching assistant, and working as a Sunday school teacher. These experiences have helped me develop patience, communication skills, and a genuine passion for helping others learn. Education has always been something I value and enjoy, and I want students to experience that same sense of curiosity and confidence. I believe learning should encourage students to ask questions, explore new ideas, and understand the real-world application behind what they are studying. My goal is to create a supportive environment where students feel encouraged to grow, think critically, and enjoy the learning process.

I am interested in assisting students succeed by tutoring them. I have a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Master's degree in Operations Management. The Operations Management program is a business program which utilizes science and math to solve business problems and make systems more effective and efficient. I have been working with people in the manufacturing sector for over thirty years. During that time I have had many opportunities to guide new employees and teach training classes. I even had the opportunity to act as a year-long technical advisor to three separate teams of university senior design teams as they completed their senior design project. I am excited about this opportunity with Varsity Tutors to help students!

I hold undergraduate degrees in both Business and Mathematics, as well as graduate degrees in Business and Education, and a doctorate in International and Comparative Law. With over 20 years of teaching experience across English, science, and math, I've worked with students ranging in age from 2 to 20 in three foreign countries and, most recently, in my home country, the United States. My background includes extensive test preparation instruction for the TOEFL, SAT, and ACT, AP and core math classes for middle school through high school and university. I have authored 20 peer-reviewed publications that reflect my commitment to research and academic excellence through interdisciplinary studies where data and policy guide soft legal argumentation. I am passionate about lifelong learning and find great fulfillment in teaching, mentoring, and continuously growing alongside my students.

Nice to meet you! I'm J.T., a mathematician, computer programmer, and general-purpose nerd stereotype from Minneapolis, Minnesota. I hold two master's degrees: one in human rights policy from the University of Minnesota, and one in discrete mathematics from Michigan Technological University, where I also completed my undergraduate studies with a dual major in computer science and mathematics and a physics minor. As part of my master's program, I held an assistantship teaching first-year calculus for three semesters (after one semester of training), and I have worked with individual students for several years through private tutoring work. I've also worked as a teaching assistant for linear algebra and later calculus courses.In addition to my tutoring work, I am also pursuing a public policy career, intending to use my multidisciplinary background to use helping address the complex intersection of developing technologies and human rights issues.

As a passionate educator with a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics from Michigan Technological University, I bring over 25 years of tutoring and classroom experience in subjects ranging from Pre-Algebra to AP Calculus AB. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive learning environment that fosters curiosity and confidence in my students. I strive to connect mathematical concepts to real-world applications, making learning relevant and engaging. I am dedicated to helping each student achieve their academic goals, and I find joy in witnessing their growth and success.

I am a current student at Michigan Technological University and am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in statistics. I started tutoring other students in my area during my last three years of high school. I tutor in various math subjects, but also enjoy teaching technique for marching snare drum and tenor drums. In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music, drumming, watching hockey, playing hockey, mountain biking, and working on coding projects.

I am a dedicated Scrum Master and Project Manager, passionate about empowering individuals and teams to reach their highest potential. With a servant leadership approach, my focus has always been on facilitating environments where collaboration, trust, and continuous growth thrive. Having honed my skills across various industries, I specialize in driving agile transformations, coaching professionals, and guiding teams to optimize performance through thoughtful mentorship and leadership. My experience leading Agile transformations has given me a deep understanding of how to support both individuals and teams in embracing agile methodologies, fostering self-organization, and driving impactful outcomes. By encouraging experimentation and continuous improvement, I have helped teams not only meet their goals but exceed them through innovative problem-solving and process optimization. In my role as a tutor and coach, I aim to instill this same sense of empowerment in professionals working toward project management and agile certifications. I am committed to nurturing their growth, helping them develop the skills, confidence, and leadership necessary to excel in today's dynamic business environments.

I am a master's student at Western Washington University studying how nitrogen moves around an ecosystem. I did my undergraduate at Michigan Tech University where I studying Environmental Sciences and Math, which consequently are my two favorite subjects to tutor! While these two may seem very different, at their core, they're all about how things work. I've always found that if you peak behind the curtain at how something works, nothing is as scary or difficult as it may seem. Let's figure it out together!

I have taught as a math instructor and tutor for the last few years. I began tutoring mathematics as an undergrad in the math learning center at Michigan Tech, where I earned my BS in Applied Math. I then started teaching as a graduate assistant at Oakland University, where I earned my MS in the Spring of 2014. My goal is to help any individual, no matter the age, succeed in mathematics. Outside of academia, I enjoy various summer and winter sports, such as snowboarding, running, and volleyball.

I am a graduate of Northwestern Law, where I served on the board of the Journal of International Human Rights. Prior to law school, I taught courses and provided one-on-one tutoring on the SAT, ACT and GRE. More recently, I have focused on helping students master the LSAT. I particularly enjoy providing individualized instruction. We each have strengths and weaknesses when it comes to learning and test-taking, and I've found that remarkable advancements happen when an approach is tailored to the student's unique attributes.I recently moved to the New York area after working in litigation in Chicago. Outside of work, I spend a lot of time exploring the area and reading.

My education, career, and passion is around geology and the Earth sciences! I am fascinated by how the Earth works, and how other sciences such as biology, ecology, chemistry, hydrology and even planetary geology help us understand the planet we live on. I also have extensive knowledge of the extraction and distribution of natural resources, and how that affects populations, cultures, and politics. I have seen geology up close in 40+ states and 10+ countries. I am accomplished at technical and business writing, and public speaking.

I am passionate about helping students improve in all academic subjects, but I have a special love for math and science. I enjoy working with students and believe that learning is most improved by deep understanding. I am adept at improving both group and individual concept understanding and performance. I like to make learning fun and practical.My goal is to not only assist students academically but also to provide coaching and mentoring.I am the mother of two beautiful girls. I enjoy playing board games with family and hiking.
