I am very passionate about education, and as you can see from my own educational history, I truly love being a student myself. I love learning and taking on new challenges and this is why being a tutor means so much to me personally. If I can help someone else achieve their dreams and educational goals, it makes all the work I have put into my own education even more worth it. I have worked with students in a variety of settings, including a Faculty Instructor position and tutoring students for NCLEX prep. I have worked with students of all ages and have a passion for education that shows in my approach to tutoring. I aspire to help my students reach their goals, while also building confidence that will help in their future profession. I believe that every student learns differently, and I am very willing to adapt my approach to meet the needs of each specific student in order to achieve their educational goals.I am currently working as a BSN Instructor in both clinical and lab simulation environments, and also am a doctoral candidate at the University of Central Florida earning my DNP in Advanced Practice Nursing. My current degrees include a BA in Forensic Anthropology (2006), AS in Mortuary Science (2008), AS in Nursing (2016), BS in Nursing (2017), MS in Nursing (2020). My MS in Nursing was to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, and I will be sitting for board certification in March 2021. I also hold a Crime Scene Investigation (2006) and an Infant & Family Mental Health Certificate (2020). My educational history was at the University of Central Florida, University of South Florida, St. Petersburg College, and Pasco-Hernando State College.I tutor mostly nursing focused courses, as this is my area of expertise. My favorite subjects to tutor are Anatomy, Physiology, Health Promotion, Pharmacology, and NCLEX prep.I hope that I can help you reach your educational goals through tutoring and look forward to meeting you!

Education changes lives and enriches the future. It nurtures minds and shapes the world around us. To achieve the main educational objectives of both undergraduate and graduate programs, my primary goal is to teach the course materials in a clear, concise, and engaging manner. For this purpose, I take advantage of a variety of pedagogical techniques to make my lectures interactive and to respond to the students' needs and abilities. I help all students learn essential concepts of the course and allow an open ground for students to communicate and share their ideas among the entire class. Beyond transferring technical knowledge, my endeavor is to foster critical thinking among students, enhance their problem-solving abilities, and enrich their intellectual strength, particularly in science and mathematics. It is also important for me to familiarize students with state-of-the-art engineering principles in both practice and research, and to prepare them in developing a future plan to enter the professional work place.
I'm currently a undergraduate student at the University of South Florida. I am currently double majoring in Biomedical Science and Public Health. I enjoy tutoring Math such as Algebra, Calculus, Pre-Algebra, and SAT Math. Chemistry and Biology are other topics I'm really interested in teaching. In high school, I took many advance courses such as AP Calculus AB, BC, AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Human, ect. I'm confident on teaching any of these AP courses as well. Currently in college, I already took General Chemistry 1, 2, and Biology 1, 2. These are some other courses I'm willing to teach as well. I love teaching because I enjoy helping students understand topics they weren't previously confident on. I tutored at Mathnasium and Kumon, where I used to teach variety of different age groups. My teaching style for students is more engaging and interactive. Rather then me talking for an hour, I teach students using examples and practice problems. Some interests I have outside of teaching is that I enjoy hiking, swimming and spending time at the mall. I've been tutoring for years now and I'm so excited to work with new students at Varsity Tutors!
I am so passionate about Reading! Reading has been apart of my life since birth and I would love to help you feel the same.
I am a recent graduate of The University of South Florida with a degree in Biomedical Sciences and a minor in Psychology. My goal is to attend medical school and become a doctor. Growing up the oldest of three siblings, I have been helping others with their studies as long as I can remember. I realized I had a passion for teaching during undergrad, assuming a teaching/leading role during labs and in organic chemistry studies. It was very fulfilling to help other student gain an understanding and mastery over what are very difficult concepts. I primarily focus on teaching ACT/SAT test prep as I am currently studying for my MCATs and know how stressful standardized tests can be at times. My goal when working with students is to relieve some of this test anxiety by preparing students for what they will see on test day as well as building confidence in students by using effective test strategies. My hobbies include watching and playing sports, listening to rock music (my favorite band is Tool), and watching movies.
Every student has the unique ability to learn and be curious, and I enjoy discovering what motivates my students and how I can best inspire them to succeed."Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death." Albert Einstein

I went on to receive my Master's degree in Medical Sciences from the University of South Florida. From my experience, some courses come easier than others, but with enough effort everyone can excel. I believe that a tutor should be knowledgeable, personable, andabove allpatient The only feeling better than helping someone is the feeling that they get when they make a breakthrough. I am passionate about learning and assisting others with the intention of becoming an excellent physician in the future. I am eager to apply the knowledge and skills that I have learned along the way to improve the lives of those looking to better themselves.

Learning is a life-long opportunity; it does not require a classroom. Everyone you meet in life knows something that you do not ~ listen and learn from each of them.
Utilization of my organizational, motivational, rapid adaptation and communication skills provide a solid foundation for me to become a desirable, proficient tutor.

This is my 12th year in the education. field My background is in school counseling. I have been a school counselor for 9 years, Test Coordinator for 2 years, 1 year as a Title 1 Private School Coordinator and 1 Year as a third grade teacher. I am a mom of 4, 2 boys and 2 girls age 13, 10, 8, and 3.
I am an MS graduate at the University of South Florida, in the field of ecology and Evolution, with my bachelors from the University of Florida in general biology with a chemistry minor.Since graduating from UF, I planned to either go to medical school, or to seek a position as a professor teaching at a reputable college. I chose the latter; though the pay is less, I find too much joy in both research and teaching to not pursue those as a career at the highest level.Throughout my life, I have found that I am very skilled at teaching both my colleagues and those younger than me. Around my middle school years, I found I have a knack for explaining abstract and difficult-to-understand topics. At which point, I began tutoring on a volunteer basis which later developed into a private tutoring business. I normally teach college courses as a Teaching Assistant at the University of South Florida Tampa campus, while I further my work on my dissertation (centered on genetics).I am comfortable with teaching mathematics through Calculus I (or whatever the equivalent.) I am extremely competent with statistics, as it comprises an integral part of both my TA work and research. I also excel in all areas of academic writing. I am most suited to test prep tutoring sessions: I have invariably excelled at all standardized tests. I am also familiar with ACT and SAT formats, and the particular and differing strategies that maximize the likelihood of high scores for each.
As a passionate and enthusiastic educator, I am dedicated to growing young minds and leading students to success. I am confident my 25 years of teaching experience has provided me with the skills and knowledge necessary to guide students to achieve their very best.
I am a Communication major at the University of South Florida, hoping to use my education to pursue a career in journalism. I specialize in Language Arts and reading, so if you need assistance with grammar, reading comprehension, vocabulary/spelling, or writing, I would be more than happy to help! I can also help with elementary school math, Algebra 1, art history, and Civics. I believe that maintaining a positive learning environment full of encouragement is the best way to become confident in your knowledge of a subject, and that is the type of environment I strive to maintain.
My favorite subject has to be math. It is a language of its own, and not everybody understands it, at first. I would like to help people understand math because it is a subject that, once learned, not only becomes something that will help you in life but something you will love as well.
I'm an engineer with tutoring experience ready to help students of all ages in a variety of math subjects, as well as with standardized testing needs. Being an engineer means that I'm a problem-solver, and that I need to be able to adapt to a variety of situations. I apply that skill to my tutoring: every student is different, and I adapt my teaching methods to those differences.The most important thing I do is make sure each student understands what they're trying to learn, not just tricks to get through their homework. If there's some basic skills missing, I make sure to go back and polish those up before getting back to the main problem. At the end of the day, I want the student to to feel confident they're getting better.I can handle things as simple as algebra or as complicated as calculus. I'm also an excellent test taker, ready to assist with the SAT or ACT exams. I'm confident I can help you or your child get better at math, and hopefully make it a little fun along the way.
Many students come to tutoring because they say they are just not good at Math. After several sessions with me they discover that is not true. They just never had anyone explain concepts to them in a way that they learn. I am a former Math Instructor at the University and taught College Algebra, Business Calculus and Pre Calculus.
As a dedicated fourth-year medical student, I am passionate about sharing knowledge and supporting fellow students in their academic journeys.

In my spare time, I enjoy not only cooking and running, but also watching movies from India and South Korea.
As an educator, I believe deeply in the power of a growth mindset. I create a positive, supportive learning environment where mistakes are viewed as opportunities for growth and learning. Students are encouraged to embrace challenges, persevere through difficulties, and build resilience in the face of setbacks. By setting high expectations and using differentiated instruction, I support each learner in reaching their full potential. I value collaborative learning, enabling students to learn from one another while strengthening communication and teamwork skills. Learning in my classroom goes beyond memorization, emphasizing critical thinking, creativity, and real-world application. I also continuously reflect on my teaching practices and pursue professional development to enhance my effectiveness and better serve my students.
I am passionate about helping students discover the beauty and power of their words through clear, concise writing that focuses on planning and revision. I have helped hundreds of students over the years improve their writing skills through simple but highly effective methods. Let me help you!
I am a graduate of The University of South Florida. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Social Work and a Master of Arts degree in Adult Education. Since graduation, I have taught Mathematics in various institutions, starting with adults in Tampa looking to receive a GED diploma; students in Middle School where I was a special needs teacher, co-teacher and then 7th Grade Mathematics teacher; and high school students grades 7 to 11 at an International School in Kingston Jamaica. While I tutor a broad range of Math courses and curriculums, I am most passionate about helping my students love math. In my experience, I enjoy helping struggling students work for and achieve set goals, improve ability and confidence. 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.
I am an experienced scientist and have learned the importance of patience and consistency when teaching science to those just beginning their journey. I have dealt with new students and experienced scientists and realize that complex ideas are best taught with a lot of understanding and patience. Nothing satisfies me more then to see a student's reaction when they finally grasp a concept and be able to use it in their thinking. Science is important to our civilization and our understanding of the universe and our future. We live in exciting times and we should not miss a thing around us.
Hey there! My name is Divya Sunny. I graduated from the University of South Florida in May of 2018. I majored in Cell and Molecular Biology. Currently, I am applying to medical school and hope to become a doctor one day. However, I have a passion for teaching and love helping out others. What makes a great tutor is the desire to help those around you who might not understand a subject and also a mindset that enjoys education and appreciates it. I began tutoring in Middle school in the subjects of Math, Reading, and Writing. I started tutoring my friends first and then moved on to tutoring other students in my classes and other grade levels. I love sharing my knowledge and helping those who do not understand a subject. When I see them pass the test and do well in the class after my tutoring, I feel glad that I was able to help in a little way. My hobbies include singing, dancing mainly to Bollywood and Indian Classical dance, riding my bike, and making new friends. I love meeting new people and getting to know them. I have been working with Varsity Tutors for over 4 years now and have loved it!
Certainly Knowledge is Power and a path to Success, but Knowledge is also Pleasurable, Beautiful and a path to Respect for Oneself and Others. My goal as an Educator is to guide Students to Love to Learn and to become Lifetime Self-Educators.The running theme of my professional career has been the meeting place between the Written Word and the Visual Image. Examples of this range from the Medieval Illuminated Manuscript to the Modern Graphic Novel; Renaissance Era Emblems to current Pop Music Artist's Logos; Classic Illustrated Children's Books to the latest Movie Poster.I practiced this myself by working as a professional Cartoonist and Illustrator for over 35 years. I gradually shifted my weight toward Teaching and discovered how much I loved guiding students to understand and appreciate the vast body of knowledge available to us in the Humanities (Arts & Letters).I completed my Masters Thesis on the Illuminated Poetry of William Blake (1757-1827). Blake combined all of his Poetic Compositions with Etched Illustrations printed on his own home studio Printing Press and hand colorized them. I received my MLA degree in 2003 from the University of South Florida in Tampa.Parents, allow me to partner with you in guiding your student toward academic success. Student, let me work with your parent or guardian to help you master subjects that have been mystifying or even tormenting you. Or maybe you merely need to discover more efficient study methods; so you have time to achieve other goals you have for your life. Either way, I look forward to assisting you this year as a Varsity Tutor!
I was someone who always knew I wanted to be in education. I received my bachelor's degree in psychology and master's in education at the University of South Florida. I am in my 10th year teaching, 8 years in 3rd grade and the last two years working in ESE with K-5 students. I love working with students who are struggling and being there when something finally "clicks"! I currently tutor in reading, written responses and math. I know testing is a stressful time for students and have experience working through different strategies to help them during those times.
