I received my undergraduate degree from West Chester University. I majored in Elementary Education with a minor in Reading. In May 2014, I earned my Master's Degree from Cabrini College in Elementary Education. I am certified in: Elementary Education (K-6), Middle School English (7-9) and Middle School Mathematics (7-9). Most of my teaching experience has been with prekindergarten, 2nd, 3rd and 5th grade.I love helping my students achieve their own academic success! I take the time to learn about my students and their personal learning styles, needs and preferences. I often incorporate various learning tools, such as manipulatives, white boards, highlighting tape, flashcards, etc. to help my students grasp the concepts. If a student is not grasping a certain concept, I will present the information in an alternative manner in order for my student to understand the material.I currently teach 3rd grade and love every subject! As a teacher, my favorite part of the day is reading out loud to my students. I love to share my passion of reading with my students through a variety of genres, authors and levels of literature. I take pride in helping my students become lifelong readers with strong reading comprehension skills.I have tutored students in each of the elementary grades with significant focus on English Language Arts and Math. Most of the students I have tutored have been in 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade. In addition to tutoring during the school year, I also have tutored students over the summer. Some of the areas we focused on were summer reading projects (reading novels and improving reading comprehension), phonics and grammar. We also practiced various writing styles and how to add detail to writing. Helping my students with math was also a significant aspect of both summer and school year tutoring. We worked on various topics in math such as: multiplication and division, fractions, geometry, basic algebra, and word problems. In addition to Math and English Language Arts, I also have tutored students in Science, Social Studies, and Study Skills/ Test Preparation.Outside of school, I love to go for long runs on scenic trails! I also enjoy other areas of health and fitness. I have a passion for cooking (and a little baking) and enjoy experimenting with new recipes. When I am not busy in the kitchen, I enjoy trying new local restaurants with my friends and family. My dog, Taffy loves when we spend time in the yard playing fetch with her ball or a new stick!I look forward to working with you and your child to help them be successful in school!

My approach is simple: we break the problem into smaller pieces, we find the piece that is giving you trouble, and we work through it together. I do not just give answers. I help you build the understanding so you can solve the next problem on your own. I tutor statistics, probability, algebra, data analysis, calculus 1, and Economcs. Whether you are preparing for an exam, catching up on coursework, or just trying to feel more confident with numbers, I am here to help.
I enjoyed working as a computer science teacher and English teacher for years before I decided to be a math teacher a few years ago. To me, teaching is an ideal career for me and it provides me the opportunity to work with young people and help them learn and help them get ready for college life. I had some great experiences with classes of students and individual students as well. It was my moment when my students told me that they felt more confident in math and they did better than before in class. Math is fun and you will enjoy learning it as long as you work hard and never give up!
With a background in school counseling, I bring a student-centered, holistic approach to tutoring that goes beyond academics. My professional experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of how students learn, what motivates them, and the challenges they may face both inside and outside the classroom. I specialize in building strong, supportive relationships that help students feel confident, capable, and understood. I have extensive experience working with diverse learners, including students with varying academic needs, learning differences, and social-emotional challenges. This allows me to tailor each session to the individualwhether that means breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps, reinforcing foundational skills, or helping students develop effective study habits and organizational strategies.
I am currently a student at West Chester University studying to be a high school English teacher. Deciding on a major was difficult for me because I enjoy many different subjects. The one thing that remained though was my desire to become a teacher. Education is my passion.Every student is unique and deserves individualized attention. No two students will learn exactly the same way, so instruction needs to be differentiated. This is easier to accomplish when only one student needs to be accommodated.Since each student I work with learns in different ways, I first assess their learning style to determine their strengths and weaknesses. Thereafter, the material that needs to be taught will be altered to fit with the student's learning style to ensure academic success.I also believe that the best thing a teacher/tutor can do for her students is to care about them. Students excel when they know that the teacher really believes in them and encourages them. I will personally care about the academic well-being of every student and make sure I do my best so each student can do his best.
My ability to relate the material to the students makes me a great tutor. I believe that scaffolding is essential in the learning process for students of all levels and ability. This is an invaluable technique I used during my time spent student and substitute teaching.
Hello Students! My name is Haley and I am currently a freshman at West Chester University of Pennsylvania. I am studying forensic chemistry. I love teaching others about math and science because they are my favorite subjects! Do not ever hesitate to reach out to me if you need help with anything.
Hello! My name is Seana Henry. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Mathematics from West Chester University. I have found most of my passion for teaching through homeschooling my two children. I am able to teach a wide variety of subjects tailored to their interests and I always end up learning something new along the way as well! I am a big believer in everyone learning at their own pace and in ways that suit their learning styles. I struggled with reading as a child (thanks to my dyslexia and ADD) and was met with immense pressure with little support in overcoming that struggle. What I have learned through teaching my child, who has the same struggles, is that those things can be overcome with the right support! It would be an absolute privilege to continue to pay forward all that I have learned and help other children learn in ways that are both enjoyable and beneficial to their academic development/journey! Outside of teaching, I spend a lot of time hiking, painting, drawing, wood burning, listening to/playing music, baking/cooking and anything else that brings myself and my family joy. I would love the chance to help your child gain the confidence and skills to succeed in schooland maybe help them to fall in love with learning along the way!
Hello! My name is Emily and I have been an educator for 6 years now. I have been lucky enough to teach in early childhood and elementary education. I have received a Masters in Reading Specialist for Elementary. I have received a post-masters in Special Education. I have ample years of working with elementary curriculums. I am excited to tutor your scholar!
I am a Special Education Teacher and have my teaching certification in general education for grades Pre-K through 4th grade. I have experience with working with age groups from toddlers to 8th grade. Teaching has always been my passion and I love seeing the growth and progress my students make each day. My goal is to always be available to my students and allow them to feel confident in their learning.
One of my most profound joys comes from guiding learners in the process of accelerating growth, closing academic gaps, and believing in themselves. Ensuring their future success is more than a passion for me: It is my mission.I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Special Education from West Chester University and a Master of Arts in Administration, Supervision, Curriculum Planning, and Instruction from Georgian Court University. Throughout my teaching career, I have also engaged in numerous training and research opportunities. Most recently, I took a course entitled "Penn Literacy Network 1" as well as several additional educational workshops from the University of Pennsylvania.My philosophy of teaching is that educators must ensure each learner is reaching his/her full potential by attending to "the whole child". In addition to providing excellent academic instruction, teachers must also address the social and emotional needs of students and create exciting learning environments where they are eager to learn and participate. Instructionally, I believe in the use practices that are research-based and rooted in Universal Design. This includes multi-sensory, hands-on, mnemonic, and metacognitive approaches that address the needs of individuals of various learning styles and ability levels. It is also my strong belief that educators must provide well-planned, explicit instruction as well as highly engaging co-constructive learning opportunities that build critical thinking skills, encourage lifelong learning, and pave the way for future success. I work tirelessly to ensure that I uphold all of these values while maintaining a high spirited, engaging, supportive, and motivating learning environment. In reporting on my teaching performance, principals have used descriptors such as: "Mrs. Berodyn takes her students on a journey of excitement and exploration.", "The success rate of her students in high.", and "She is a model for teachers to emulate."My prior experience includes 28 wonderful years as a resource room teacher in New Jersey. I taught in K-5 whole group, inclusionary classrooms as well as in small group, individualized settings for learning disabled students. My passion and dedication was recognized there with a "Teacher of the Year Award" and a listing in Who's Who Among America's Teachers. After moving to Pennsylvania, I also had the great pleasure of teaching for 5 years as a Basic Skills Instructional Aide, providing targeted tutoring to individuals and small groups of kindergarten through 6th grade students. In both career experiences, the goal of my instruction was to inspire a love of learning, increase student skills, and close achievement gaps in reading, writing, spelling and math.Currently, I tutor in reading, writing, spelling, and math for students in kindergarten through 4th grade as well as adult literacy. Although I truly enjoy teaching all of these subject areas, I am most passionate about reading. Because it is most critical to the future success of my students, I have engaged in extensive literacy research and received training in a number of multi-sensory and specialized reading program (such as Wilson, Lindamood-Bell, Preventing Academic Failure, SRA Reading Mastery, Stevenson, Reading Recovery, and Corrective Reading). I take great pride and joy in knowing that I have helped hundreds of students overcome significant reading difficulties.When I am not tutoring, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, hiking, cooking, listening to music, playing guitar, and taking pictures!
I am an honors college student at West Chester University working toward a pre-physical therapy major and a communications minor. As someone who has gone through tutoring and then become a tutor, I love seeing that switch from confusion and frustration to self-confidence and excellence when working with others!
My name is Mr. Luke Gibson. I am a middle school teacher with 25 years of experience. I take pride in helping students improve their skills with reading and writing. If your child is struggling in this area, I believe I can provide creative learning in a postive online environment. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family and coaching middle school basketball.
Currently, I am a first year student at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, working towards my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Although unofficial, I will most likely continue on to minor in English/Literature or Art History. My skills vary widely in terms of tutoring subjects. I am personally equipped to teach elementary school through college level courses; however, as I have a passion for literature and the arts, I specialize and do best in tutoring English, Writing, and Literature Analysis & Critique. I love to equip my students with the tools they need to succeed in and out of the classroom - there is a difference between tutoring for the test, and tutoring to expand the way a person thinks, perceives, and analyzes the world. Outside of teaching, though, I love to write and read for pleasure, as well as learn about art and art history. I also play the french horn and the trumpet!

Greetings! My name is Zachary Morrow and I am a Pharmaceutical Product Development major at West Chester University's Honors College. This program prepares its graduates to enter the research sector of the pharmaceutical industry. When choosing a tutor, it is important that you are able to not only adapt to their learning style but connect with them on an interpersonal level. My personality is typically outgoing and reliable.In other words, I have a tendency to always be prepared and tackle every problem from multiple angles. My teaching style is dynamic which allows students to always stay interacted. When teaching a certain topic, I will explain some background about the subject and then dive deeper. Every so often I will allow the student to demonstrate what they have learned, and then revisit previous points to create a well rounded experience. I am a very energetic individual with a passion for successful education since, after all, tutors and all educators worldwide are facilitating a brighter future! With that said, I hope to hear from you bright minded individuals so we can explore the realms of science and mathematics together!
I am an elementary school Reading and Math specialist. I received my MA in reading along with my Reading Specialist certification in 2012. I have been a teacher for 11 years and am passionate about my job. I believe that all students can be successful, but some students just need a little extra support to get there. I work with struggling students in all academic areas, and my patience, skill set, and dedication to my students as well as my ability to individualize all lessons makes me an exceptional teacher. These qualities make me an excellent tutor.I strongly believe that every child has the ability to learn and grow. However, each child is different and these differences in learning styles or prerequisite knowledge have to be taken into consideration. It is up to the teacher to find out what skills gaps each child may have and create an individualized plan to implement in order for the child to be successful. It is also equally important to highlight the student's strengths and use these strengths as a way to connect with the child.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology/Microbiology from West Chester University. I love science! I am a long-time tutor of both biology and English, and I love participating in science outreach and educational programs. Preparing for exams, whether that's in AP classes or college lectures, can be difficult. I like to focus on higher level concepts to make sure students come away with not just knowledge, but a deep understanding. I'm especially excited to encourage students who need help in their subjects. I know how frustrating it can be when you just don't get something. I believe there's always a new way to learn, and I look forward to learning with you!
Hello! I love to teach music and to help others learn and grow. I am always looking for more ways to share my passion and make an impact on the lives of others.I have taught a variety of ages and subjects, from general preschool classes to high school instrumental ensembles. Regardless of the students' ages, however I have always made it a priority to introduce content in a variety of different ways to meet my students where they are and make sure the learning environment is as beneficial to them as possible.I have dual bachelor's degrees in Music Education and Performance from Rowan University, where I worked as a tutor for Music Theory, Music History, and a variety of general education and beginner music courses.

I also am the Northeastern Regional Coordinator of the MusicLink Foundation, a non-profit organization providing lessons to those in need.
I am a bilingual, ambitious professional seeking to help students realize their full potential. I graduated from West Chester University in 2014 with a B.A. in Political Science and two minors - Spanish and Latin American Studies. Afterwards, I attended Temple Beasley School of Law where I graduated in 2017 with a Juris Doctor (J.D.)
As a passionate educator with a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Scranton, I have over 5 years of tutoring and classroom experience across various subjects, including Elementary and Middle School English and Math, as well as Adult Literacy. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to explore their potential.

In my free time, I enjoy reading and exploring innovative teaching methods to enhance my skills further.
I recently graduated from NYU's Stern School of Business and had a great time helping prospective students on the GMAT. I scored extremely high through self-guided study and found I learned fun ways to teach some of the tougher concepts. I believe in making the session fun and student-driven - but also quickly finding any underlining problems with comprehension and addressing them.

I play trombone, trumpet, euphonnium, and piano. I attended West Chester University for both my bachelors and masters degree. I look forward to working with you!
I have had many Math professors throughout undergrad and graduate school and I have found that, although they all know what they are talking about and are all very intelligent, what makes a math teacher great is understanding that not everyone understands things the same way he or she does. Throughout my years tutoring all levels of mathematics, I have developed the ability to readily explore several different viewpoints and methods to help students fully grasp the subject matter. I can present the material in many different ways until we find an approach that works and makes the material easy to understand. Nothing gives me a greater thrill than the look of relief on a student's face when they actually start to "get it" and realize that it is not as difficult as was previously believed.I have a Master of Science degree in Math, over three years' experience as an actuary, and am a member of MENSA. I am highly committed to students' performances and to improve their comprehension of all areas of Mathematics.
I have a Master's of Science in Natural Resource Management and Environnental Interpretation from Colorado State University. An undergraduate in Communications (Speech, English and Theater) from West Chester University. I taught high school and began my own businesses after graduating college. I serve on non-profits and also teach through them. I traveled extensively, learning a great deal from teachers and elders of many cultures around the world. I always have had a burning desire to share what I have learned with others through coaching and teaching. This has allowed me to learn a great deal from my students as well. I have taught all age levels from pre-school to seniors and taught at both the high school and university levels. I pursued advanced degrees at Colorado State University, ran a large non-profit for the University and taught classes in many subjects in natural resources, creative writing, public speaking and organizational start ups and operations. I earned Masters of Science in Environmental Interpretation and Natural Resource Management from CSU and was awarded the Outstanding Teacher Award for the University in experiential teaching. I was an advisor for approximately 50 students each year while with the University.I am also a life coach and have worked with people in that way as well.Twelve years ago I founded a non-profit with a group of people. Our goal was to teach about nature, sustainable living and the wisdom of past cultures. It was also a platform from which I could offer students help in creative writing, public speaking and personal growth courses. I am a public speaker at many conferences and in the classroom and I have had two books published. A couple of years ago I created the White Otter Academy to bring "Wisdom from the past magically stirred with knowledge from the present as a catalyst to transform your future."I coined the phrase "energetic alchemy" to define how I often teach. I take the 'iron' nuggets of knowledge I have acquired, add my own understandings, mix them together magically and .. often - gold emerges thanks to my teachers. I believe true growth occurs from the acquisition of both formal and informal education. With that said, I require a large dose of fun in any teaching or tutoring I do. I like to also acknowledge all the mistakes I have made along the way and admit what a wonderful teaching resource these are. Through some of the above venues I have brought teaching to groups. With Varsity Tutors I am able to work one on one with people - my favorite mode.
I am an enthusiastic, passionate and motivated teacher. I am certified in Elementary Education, Spanish and ESL. Currently, I teach high school Spanish and tutor privately. I have taught numerous SAT Reading and Writing courses and tutored many subjects over the past 10 years. I believe every student learns differently and gear my lessons according to each student's needs.
You may call me a degree collector or an enthusiast of learning. With two Masters' degrees, two undergraduate degrees, and two minors, I studied everything from Russian, Spanish, and Philosophy to Physics and Space Science.My drive to uncover the unknown and zeal for problem-solving proved to be useful in the airspace, oil and gas, and real estate industries where I've worked for more than 13 years.Nothing in my career, however, has been as gratifying as helping students connect the dots. In my extensive work as a math and physics tutor for high school and university students, I have always followed three simple steps:1. identify what the student does not know2. figure out what they know3. help them close the knowledge/understanding gap.In explanations of concepts, I strive to bring the abstract to reality for my students. When we are solving problems, I rarely give my students straight answers. I guide them so they can arrive at the answers by themselves or I point them to where they may find clues.I love seeing "the wheels starting to turn." This is how my students gain confidence in their abilities.My ultimate goal is to model for my students studying skills so that they can eventually handle their learning by themselves. Yes! My goal is for the students NOT to need me. Because independent learning is king and problem-solving skills are gold in real life!My students always master much more than the subject they needed help with.
My teaching mentality and methods draw from my lifelong journeys as a martial artist and Jewish neurodivergent student (ADHD, anxiety, depression). With empathy, I emphasize personalizing processes and strategies, effort and progress over perfection, understanding over memorization, validation, and fun. Dubbed the Queen of Google Docs, I often tutor using color-codes, odd but apt analogies, examples with Batman, corny jokes, and vitally, plans based on YOUR needs and strengths, aiming to aid on not only your current assignment but also relevant skills for future ones. My students often say that I reduce their assignment anxiety, make assignments clearer and more approachable, and help them see their writing in whole new ways. I love when I clarify concepts and students say, "wait, it's that simple?" I've taught writing as a TA (5 years), an adjunct professor (2 years), and a writing center tutor (10+ years). I am now a PhD student.
I am a passionate psychology educator with a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology and 10 years of experience teaching, coaching, and counseling students and clients!
I have a B.A. in Journalism/Communications from Temple University and am currently working on my M.A. in TESOL at West Chester University. I work as a graduate assistant in the University Writing Center at WCUPA and coordinate the Conversation Partners program, which I also developed and implemented. I worked as a tutor at Burlington County College for two years where I focused on assisting students taking composition, literature, and ESL/ELL courses. I love to cook, bake, make candy, read, and travel abroad. I love experiencing new cultures and seeing everything the world has to offer. I was an exchange student in high school and spent time in Russia. During college, I studied in England.
Sometimes finding the right way to look at a problem is the hardest part of solving it. Early on I realized I am not a visual learner and unfortunately a lot of the early education system is built around that skillset. So, from the time I started school I was always looking for new ways to approach problems. As a result I am drawn to situations where I can solve problems and help people understand things better. Tutoring and teaching, for me, is the pperfect intersection of my skillset.Regarding my education, I recently completed my Associates of Life Sciences from Montgomery County Community College and am now working towards my Bachelor's degree in biology with a specialization in cell and molecular studies and a minor in psychology. After completing my degree I intend on enrolling in a Master's program for genetics counseling. While I do tutor a variety of subjects, I am the most passionate about the biological sciences. These subjects make up the foundation of all living things, and even though they are complicated, how could you not wonder where life comes from or how it works? I love helping students discover their love of biology, plants, and animals! I love fostering curiosity and exploration through education by helping students understand these challenging subjects and showing them how they can use what they are learning in the real world. I love hearing stories about how their knowledge came in handy on a camping trip or how they were able to help explain a difficult concept to their peers using the different methods they learned in their sessions with me.While I am the most passionate about biology, I also use my science and psychology-minded approach to tutoring other subjects as well and love helping students discover passion for things that they were formerly struggling in.I am happy to work with students who have learning disorders. It can be so difficult and frustrating for a student to try to explain why there is a disconnect in the information that other people read and understand so easily but just will not come easily for the student. I am personally dyslexic and have ADHD and remember the struggles I had growing up and getting through school. It took me years to develop coping mechanisms and tricks that let me read and write efficiently because I was diagnosed later on. As a result, I have an intimate understanding of what tips and tricks helped me stay on track. I am happy to help with reading and writing, organization, how to set goals and stay on task, and focus/listening skills.Building a strong and sound educational foundation is imperative to setting students up for success. Doing it while having fun and learning important problem solving skills helps impart confidence in students. It also helps them learn the importance of following through with what they start and the reward of completing something difficult.All students face challenges and how we approach them can make all the difference. I am excited and passionate about helping students face challenges head on and accomplish their goals.
My passion for education and interest in helping students is the perfect combination to serve as a tutor. I have a wide range of knowledge in subjects related to science, math, life sciences, public health and writing. I additionally have counseled high school students through the college application process and can provide valuable study skills and organization tips from my educational experiences.
As a tutor, I strongly believe that education and practice are essential components in becoming more successful. I have a vast variety of educational degrees and personal experiences, that I would like to share with you, so you feel confident that I am a good match to tutor your student.I graduated from Bensalem High School in 2001, and then continued directly to West Chester University. While at college I held two part-time jobs on campus, one was as a Secretary at the Counseling Center, and the other was a tutor for college level Math classes. In May 2005, I graduated from West Chester University with a BSED in Elementary Education. I then continued to Drexel University to obtain my Teaching English as a Second Language Certificate. Finally, I finished getting my Masters Degree in Educational Leadership with Principal Certificate from Cabrini College in 2009.Previously I have tutored for college students, and high school college prep students. This focused on preparing for standardized tests such as SAT's and ACT's, working on college essays and applications, as well as maintaining good grades in regular subject areas. Also, I was a contracted teacher for in 5th grade, 6th grade, and in High School & Elementary School ESL, as well as having student teaching experience in 2nd grade, 3rd grade, and various substitute teaching assignments.Personally, I enjoy tutoring Mathematics and Writing the most. Due to my personality of being serious and logical, having one concrete answer helps motivate me to work a problem through to completion. Also, I can be a bit silly and expressive and the ability to have many potential correct great answers allows more freedom to use interesting words to convey a meaning.Outside of teaching and tutoring, I have held another full time job for the past three years, as well as becoming a small business owner. I do not have a plethora of free time, however when I do have a clear agenda, my hobbies include cuddling my cats, watching movies, going to concerts, traveling, taking photographs and sleeping. I take my work very seriously and dedicate my time to achieving goals, but I also have a goofy fun side, that I hope will make me a perfect fit as a tutor for your student!
I have a lifelong fascination with the past and with all human cultures, this is my passion and I'm driven to share that passion with others. I want to introduce students to the wonder of new peoples, places, events, and ideas that will expand their understanding and appreciation for the world in which we live.
