Rhea
AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects
I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.
Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing
Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.
Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Waltham's 14 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Waltham Public School District or a private institution in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic needs.
Massachusetts has rigorous academic standards, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction is highly effective at helping students master grade-level content and prepare for state assessments. Tutors work with students on the specific skills and concepts emphasized in Massachusetts curricula, whether that's building reading comprehension, strengthening math foundations, or preparing for MCAS exams.
Waltham students most commonly seek help in math, English language arts, science, and test preparation (including MCAS and SAT/ACT prep). We also support students in foreign languages, social studies, and subject-specific courses like chemistry and algebra. Varsity Tutors can match your student with an expert tutor in whatever subject they need support with.
During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current understanding, learning style, and specific academic goals. They'll discuss what's working well and where your student needs the most support—whether that's catching up after falling behind, preparing for an upcoming test, or building confidence in a challenging subject. This foundation helps create a personalized learning plan tailored to your student's needs.
With an average student-teacher ratio of 10.3:1 in Waltham schools, classroom teachers do excellent work, but personalized 1-on-1 tutoring provides something different: focused attention on your specific student's learning gaps and strengths. Tutors can reinforce what's being taught in class, work at your student's pace, and provide extra practice on concepts that need more reinforcement.
Absolutely. Varsity Tutors works with families to find scheduling that fits their lives, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school breaks. We also offer flexibility in session length and frequency—some students benefit from weekly sessions, while others prefer intensive support during specific times like exam prep season.
Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and experience working with students at your child's level. Tutors are carefully selected and vetted to ensure they're equipped to help students succeed in Massachusetts classrooms and on state assessments.
Getting started is simple—just tell us about your student's academic needs, grade level, and preferred subjects. Varsity Tutors will match them with a tutor who fits those needs, and you can begin personalized sessions right away. Most families see their students feel more confident and engaged in their learning within the first few weeks.
