Shannon
AP Statistics Tutor • +48 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of North Texas with a bachelor's degree in Psychology. I have completed Master's coursework and research in the field of Educational Psychology, with a focus in Gifted Studies. I tutor many subjects, but I really enjoy teaching various math courses, Advanced Placement, History, and Language Arts. I have worked with students of all ages, from Pre-K to adults returning to education. I have a great deal of experience writing curriculum and tutoring test prep for SAT, ACT, ISEE, STAAR, and AP tests. Additionally, I have a strong passion for working with students who need support in applying for college (applications, essays, etc.). After studying abroad and 6 years of study, I have a strong interest in the French language and culture that allows me to provide tutoring for students taking French courses. In my experience as a tutor since 2013, I have cultivated a variety of tutoring strategies and methods to adapt to each student's individual needs. I feel that the key to helping a student master a subject is to start small, set goals, and find a method of learning that works best for them. In addition to my role as a tutor, I am also a substitute teacher and volunteer as a mentor with underprivileged middle and high schools. The majority of my free time is spent with my family. Often we enjoy outdoor activities, concerts and traveling.

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +34 Subjects
I'm currently a math and physics major at MIT and I've had several years of practice teaching math to high school students. I like to emphasize completely understanding a concept patiently in a way the student would enjoy learning, over blind memorization of facts and formulas.
Anudeep
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +66 Subjects
I'm a freshman at Rutgers University studying Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Computer Science. I've always been curious about how the world works, which led me to explore everything from physics and calculus to machine learning and space research. I'm especially interested in how AI can solve real problems in spacelike predicting satellite orbits or understanding Earth's upper atmosphere. Outside of the classroom, I've tutored students from grades 6 to 12 in math and physics. I love breaking down tricky concepts and helping students find that "aha" moment. My favorite subject to tutor is Algebra 2it's where math starts getting deeper and connects to the real world, especially physics and engineering. I focus on making my sessions clear, supportive, and engaging. Whether a student needs help building confidence or mastering complex topics, I aim to make learning feel less stressful and more exciting.

I believe that every student has unique strengths, and my goal is to tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. I am passionate about fostering academic success and inspiring a love for learning, which I achieve through engaging lessons and constructive feedback. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring new educational resources to enhance my teaching methods.
Katie
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +33 Subjects
I earned a bachelor's degree in psychology at the University of Maryland in May 2023. I would like to use my degree in a field that involves education, children, and studying child cognition. I have over 3 years of tutoring experience, and math has always been a passion of mine. Thus, I prefer to tutor children in math, but I am qualified to tutor in subjects such as Spanish, science, and English. I find it very rewarding to help students learn and overcome struggles they have in school. Their smiles alone make the work worthwhile to me. My past experience tutoring students includes working with children between the ages of 6 and 16. While tutoring, I try my best to keep the student engaged by including physical and virtual math games, physical learning tools, and other learning instruments designed to make learning more engaging for students. My tutoring style is pretty hands-on, but I also try to sit back and allow the student to think more deeply about the content and absorb the knowledge on their own. Outside of academia, I love to draw, especially with graphite, but I do occasionally use charcoal, colored pencils, and pens. I also love to exercise at the gym, but I especially enjoy hot yoga and pilates classes. I was also a gymnast all throughout my childhood and adolescence, and I was a gymnastics instructor at my hometown gym in college.
David
Trigonometry Tutor • +41 Subjects
I am a University of Texas - Austin graduate with honors, BS in Molecular Biology. I also hold an MS in Biology from University of California - San Diego, specializing in Cell Biology. My tutoring experience is, frankly, pretty massive; I have been a tutor almost continuously since 2000. In some cases I taught the same student for several years. Most of these students were international students taught in various Asian countries, but all instruction was in English and the students were from dozens of different nations, including of course many Americans. I also have considerable classroom teaching experience; I have taught Science, Business and Math courses at several high schools and also worked at numerous private schools of different kinds. Due to my academic background my greatest strength as a tutor is in the area of IB Biology and Chemistry, AP Biology and Chemistry, and university freshman courses in the same subjects. However, I can tutor essentially any Science and Math taught in high school. I consider myself an extremely proficient Math tutor especially with grade 10, Algebra II, Trigonometry and any course below that level. IB Higher Math is a bit of a hard slog for me (as for most students!), but IB Core Math and Math Studies are no problem. For university work, I can help with General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry and almost any undergraduate course in Biology or similar subjects, including Microbiology and Botany. My core strength is in Molecular Biology and Cell Biology. In addition, I can help with humanities assignments, including History, Business, Psychology and English. I am a very capable writer and researcher; I have approximately 80 published freelance writing credits. I also worked as a business journalist in Thailand and started a commercial technical editing firm in Shanghai. I have a fairly considerable business background and took a number of MBA courses including Statistics, Management Theory, Finance, and Accounting, with very high marks. I also studied Economics at freshman level and consider it one of the most enjoyable and illuminating courses I ever took. In addition to all this I do have a great deal of test prep experience, especially SAT. Besides SAT I have taught GMAT, GRE, SSAT, SAT-II and IB exam prep in various subjects, especially Biology, Chemistry and Business. My tutoring experience has taught me that almost every student can benefit from tutoring. For gifted students the right tutor can expose them to advanced ideas and connections that they otherwise would not encounter for years, if ever. One of my most talented former students started studying university-level science material in 8th grade. He was later admitted, with my help, to summer programs at Cornell and Harvard that allowed high school students to work in university laboratories; ultimately he went to Berkeley, then medical school and is now a neurosurgeon. I am proud that I had something to do with his success. For students with serious academic difficulties, a tutor can patiently teach them the basic skills they need to surmount their immediate obstacles, while at the same time laying the groundwork for future achievements that in some cases they or their parents would have thought impossible. In our society, it is unfortunately the case that classroom instruction is often ineffective. In my view, the main reasons are a lax classroom environment that does not promote learning; low expectations; and unfortunately, a relatively low standard of professionalism expected of classroom teachers. Although I have seen both sides of this issue as a classroom teacher myself, and there are definitely some brilliant and dedicated classroom teachers out there, this last problem is a major reason why tutoring can be so helpful. During my tutorials, I have heard countless kids say "I didn't get that at all when Mr X taught it in class, but when YOU explained it it was so simple!" At the same time, tutoring is not magic. In particular, a tutor cannot do much with a student who is fundamentally unmotivated, although I have learned ways to build motivation given adequate time. In general I feel that tutoring really helps students to achieve their potential. In terms of my teaching style, I am very direct, professional and no nonsense. To the limits of my capabilities, I try to provide whatever the client wants and will do whatever works in terms of approach and lesson activities, adjusting my methods according to client needs. As for my interests, I have a lot, including writing, reading, travel (I have been all over Asia and lived in several Asian countries), cooking, photography, racquetball and football (both kinds), among others. I have also visited dozens of universities and worked a lot of different jobs, which is helpful when clients need help with university or graduate school applications, or want advice about career options.
Zane
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +20 Subjects
Everybody learns, and everybody learns differently. The importance of pedagogy, the practice of teaching, cannot be overstated. It is not enough to share knowledge; knowledge must be communicated. This is the philosophy by which I have tutored and by which I currently tutor. With 4th grade students and with college-age students, with students in America and with students in Japan, I have helped new ideas and information take root and blossom to the satisfaction of student and tutor alike. I love those moments of recognition as someone internalizes knowledge, when an unfamiliar idea becomes familiar, and the creative ability such moments foster. My aim as a tutor is to understand how my students learn, so that they can do so most efficiently.

AP Statistics Tutor • +39 Subjects
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I have a Bachelors degree and two Masters degrees in Mathematics from the United States Naval Academy, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Georgia. All of my degrees were earned with at least a 3.9 GPA and I earned the honor of being named the top math major from my undergraduate institution when I graduated. I have also had the pleasure of teaching mathematics at two different colleges and started tutoring math and physics over 20 years ago. Please allow me to accompany you on the exciting journey of exploration into math and physics!
Krishnabalaji
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +20 Subjects
I graduated from the high school of BASIS Chandler and I currently major in Computer Science at Arizona State University. While I did do some volunteer tutoring for Algebra I and II in high school, my more formal work experiences include teaching Math and English at Kumon to mostly primary and middle school kids and working as a Undergraduate TA at ASU to assist college freshmen with EEE 120 (Digital Circuit Design). While I can teach a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones to teach are programming and mathematics. What draws me towards instructing others is that having gone through education myself, I developed an ability to efficiently analyze and break down problems, and this is something that I'd like to pass down! As a bonus, each new piece of knowledge learned expands your world a little!

Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across the full spectrum of math, including arithmetic, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, statistics, and more specialized topics like linear algebra and differential equations. Whether you're building foundational skills or tackling advanced coursework, tutors work with students at every level to strengthen understanding and improve performance.
Expert tutors focus on helping students understand the 'why' behind mathematical concepts, not just the 'how.' Through personalized 1-on-1 instruction, tutors help you see patterns, make connections between topics, and develop problem-solving strategies that apply across different types of problems. This deeper understanding builds lasting skills and confidence, especially when facing new or unfamiliar math challenges.
Word problems are a common challenge because they require translating real-world situations into mathematical language. Tutors help break down this process by teaching you how to identify key information, choose the right approach, and set up equations strategically. With practice and guidance, you'll develop a system for tackling word problems systematically rather than feeling stuck at the start.
Math anxiety is real and common, and tutors are experienced in creating supportive environments where students can learn without pressure. Personalized instruction lets you work at your own pace, ask questions freely, and gradually build confidence through small wins and understanding. As concepts click into place, many students find their anxiety decreases naturally and their enjoyment of math grows.
Showing work isn't just about getting credit—it reveals your thinking process and makes it easier to catch mistakes. Tutors guide you in developing clear, organized work habits that help you and your teacher understand your reasoning. This practice also strengthens your problem-solving skills by forcing you to slow down and think through each step rather than rushing to an answer.
Multi-step equations require understanding the order of operations and how to work backwards systematically. Tutors break these problems into manageable pieces, helping you see the structure and develop a strategy before diving in. You'll learn to recognize patterns in different types of equations, which makes solving them feel less overwhelming and more like following a logical process.
Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand different curriculum approaches and can align instruction with what you're learning in class. Whether your school uses a traditional or more progressive approach, tutors work with you to build understanding in ways that connect directly to your coursework and help you succeed on your class assessments.
