Leah
AP Biology Tutor • +21 Subjects
I graduated from St. John's University with summa cum laude. I received my Bachelors of Science in Biology and I am currently applying to medical schools. Throughout college, I have tutored numerous immigrant children all over New York in subjects such as Science and English, and I taught English to adults who immigrated from South America. While I can tutor a wide range of subjects, I am very passionate and eager to teach all levels of Biology and English. In my experience the English language can be very challenging to grasp, yet with the right mindset and consistent study it is very much possible! Similarly, the subject of Biology can seem difficult and intimidating at first, but my goal is to exhibit how interesting and fun this vast subject area actually is. I am very excited to help each and every one of my students succeed in any academic endeavor and I look forward to getting to know everyone very soon!
Simon
Arrangement and Composition Tutor • +26 Subjects
I'm eighteen years old, and I'm about to start my freshman year as a Musical Theatre major at Oklahoma City University. After being born in Colombia and living here in the United States, I've become completely fluent in both Spanish and English, which has helped me quite a bit in finding different ways to help my students solve problems and overcome issues. As a recent high school graduate, I understand how teenagers feel about school and studying, and it's easy for me to relate to that. It's comforting for teenagers to work with someone who knows what it's like to be a high school student, so it's easier for me to connect with them. In my free time I enjoy playing music, singing, watching films, and reading a good book.

This past year I studied abroad and worked in China with the Chinese Flagship Program. I love studying history, languages, literature, and writing, and when I'm not helping students as a tutor, you can find me swing dancing, listening to jazz music, experimenting with vegan baking, and walking my dog.

Sammy
Conversational French Tutor • +5 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Jordan. I got my Bachelor's degree in French Language and Literature. In my fourth year of college, I got a recommendation from the Dean of the faculty of Foreign Languages to work for the IFPO ( the French Institute for the Near East) as an interpreter. The institute is affiliated to the Embassy of France in Amman, Jordan. I am trilingual and have a big passion for languages, specially French! I am fun, enthusiastic, and a goal oriented person. I always convey my passion to my students. A lot of clients felt that they had more desire to learn French than before. My students' age have ranged from the age of 5 to 40. However, I am up to have the opportunity to teach older people. Currently, I work as an International Advisor in a medical insurance company. Also, I am working on my programming skills before applying for a graduate program in Computational Linguistics. My goal is to be a computational linguist! I'll help you improve your French in a fun way. My objective is to make the student like the language and score well on it in school. Nevertheless, I do ask about the client's goal for getting French tutoring, so that I work on specific patterns with him/her.

I'm a first year medical school student the University of the Incarnate Word School of Osteopathic Medicine. I graduated from Rice University with a degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Sports Medicine. I teach a lot of math, science, and foreign languages (basic Chinese and Spanish). I personally prefer to write many things out, especially when I'm explaining a concept. I will try my best to cater to how your student learns best, and will share any tips and tricks that I've learned over the course of my own education. I love feedback during tutoring sessions, and will help you with whatever you need. In my free time, I conduct research and love to read. I look forward to working with you

I am a recent graduate from Harvey Mudd College, a top undergraduate engineering and liberal arts institution in California. During my time there, as the class sizes were small, I was able to establish many meaningful connections with my incredible professors. Inspired by their example, I quickly developed my own passions for education and mentorship and since then, I???ve sought out many different opportunities to become a better educator, leader, and scholar.First, I joined an on-campus research group to study educational psychology. In my studies, I learned a lot about the disparities that students from different demographics face when providing and receiving feedback on engineering design. Subsequently, I took classes on Equity in STEM Education to learn more about what I could do as an educator to practice more inclusive pedagogies. I then took up a leadership position in Harvey Mudd's Office of Institutional Diversity as a Mentor and Tutor for their summer bridge program. In this role, I helped support incoming first-year students from marginalized backgrounds by counseling them through emotional crises, leadership development, and countless hours of academic tutoring. To continue mentoring and tutoring, I joined Harvey Mudd's Homework Hotline team, where I assisted K-12 students with homework over the phone. This experience equipped me with training that covered common core, active listening, and effective over-the-phone communication. More importantly, I learned to empathize and connect with a diverse set of students as well as parents.Now, I am working as a member of the Varsity Tutors to continue my work supporting students who desire a strong academic foundation. I seek to help students gain excellence in math through fun and enjoyable learning strategies that are personalized to their unique learning style. I want all of my students to feel that math is approachable, accessible, and meant for them--no matter what their academic background is. I hope that by working with my students, I can empower them to not only be more motivated to do well in school but to also genuinely enjoy learning and developing their academic foundation.

10th Grade Reading Tutor • +63 Subjects
I am a graduate of Oberlin College and Wesleyan University and I am currently a PhD student at Harvard University. I received my BA in English, my BM in Jazz Studies, and my MA in Ethnomusicology. My PhD research is in West African music. I have many years of experience as a tutor, beginning as a writing tutor for a college writing center, then giving private music lessons, and working as a teaching assistant for undergraduate students in music and African studies courses. I tutor in many different areas, but my passion is in working with students in writing, literature, critical reading, music, and French. In working to prepare students for standardized tests, I can offer a wide variety of strategies for vocabulary, writing, and time management. As an educator, I am particularly interested in the transitions from high school to college, and from college into the professional world. Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing and listening to music, hiking, playing soccer, and spending time outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions
First grade science introduces students to foundational concepts across life, earth, and physical science. Common topics include living things and their habitats, seasons and weather patterns, basic properties of materials, simple machines, the five senses, and how plants and animals grow and change. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on exploration and observation skills rather than memorization, helping students develop curiosity about the natural world.
Science tutors break down abstract concepts into concrete, observable experiences. For example, instead of just reading about how plants grow, a tutor might help your child plant seeds and observe changes over time, connecting theory to real-world outcomes. Tutors also teach the scientific method—asking questions, making predictions, and testing ideas—which builds both understanding and critical thinking skills. This approach helps students move beyond memorization to truly grasp why things happen in nature.
Great first grade science tutors are patient, curious, and skilled at making learning interactive and fun. They should understand how young learners think, use age-appropriate experiments and activities, and ask open-ended questions that encourage exploration. Look for tutors who can explain concepts simply, connect lessons to things your child sees every day, and adapt their teaching style based on your child's interests—whether that's animals, weather, plants, or how things work.
Personalized science instruction means your child learns at their own pace with a tutor who can pause on confusing ideas, repeat explanations in different ways, and choose examples that match their interests. Unlike classroom settings where teachers manage many students, one-on-one tutoring allows for immediate feedback and hands-on experiments tailored to your child's learning style. This focused attention helps build confidence and a genuine curiosity about science rather than anxiety about getting the right answer.
First graders often struggle with understanding cause and effect (why does this happen?), observing carefully, and using scientific vocabulary to describe what they see. Some students also find it hard to sit still during experiments or to predict outcomes before trying something. A tutor can help by breaking these skills into smaller steps, providing plenty of opportunities to practice observing and predicting, and making experiments engaging so your child stays focused and excited about learning.
Tutors choose simple, safe experiments that produce clear, immediate results—like observing how water changes states, watching seeds sprout, or testing which materials sink or float. They guide students through each step slowly, ask questions to help them notice patterns, and encourage predictions before revealing outcomes. This hands-on approach makes abstract concepts concrete and memorable, and helps students feel like real scientists rather than passive observers.
Simple activities make great science learning: observe bugs in the garden, watch clouds change shape, plant seeds indoors, compare how different objects float or sink, or notice how shadows change throughout the day. Ask your child "why" and "what if" questions to encourage curiosity, and let them lead exploration. A tutor can suggest specific experiments and activities tailored to your child's interests and help them develop the observation and questioning skills that make home learning more meaningful.
