Iris
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects
As the eldest sibling in my family, I naturally grew into the role of helping my younger sister and her friends with their homework. Before long, my parents suggested that since I was already helping her, why not assist some of their friends as well? And just like that, my teaching journey began. As a kid, I went from tutoring family friends to, later in high school, volunteering to tutor kids with disabilities in math. Now, in college, I tutor several children ranging from elementary to early high school in subjects like English, math, science, and social studies. Through these experiences, I've discovered a profound joy in witnessing the expressions of understanding on their faces when a challenging problem finally makes sense. Their growth and learning fill me with a pride that surpasses even my academic achievements. I've come to realize that teaching is more than just sharing knowledgeit's about nurturing confidence and curiosity in others. My goal is to help as many kids as possible, teaching them not just concepts but also how to believe in their abilities and embrace growth.
Haley Shea
Elementary Statistics Tutor • +143 Subjects
Haley graduated from the University of North Georgia with two bachelor's degrees in English Writing & Publication and Interdisciplinary Studies (Mathematics/Technology, Social Science, and Humanities concentrations), and an associate's degree in Psychological Science (2020). Previously, she completed an associate's in Communication, Film & Digital Media Studies (2016). While at UNG, she worked as a Writing Center Peer Consultant, Supplemental Instruction Facilitator, English Department Student Administrative Assistant, Writing Fellow, and Ambassador for the Center for Undergraduate Research & Creative Activities (in addition to programming stimulus displays for EEG experiments in the neuroscience lab). Her major fields of study are supplemented by three minors: Linguistics, Psychology, and Studies of English Language Learning. Combined, this background enables a flexible tutoring approach that can be customized to meet the needs of both additional-language learners and individuals facing cognitive challenges. Haley Shea is currently pursuing graduate-level education in cognitive science, conducting neuroscientific laboratory research in psycholinguistics and brain-computer interface, and training for a career in human-computer interaction. During college, her top subjects were Advanced English Grammar and Linguistics. There, she was known for her passionate leadership of study sessions for sentence-diagramming, which inspired her laboratory research. An active community member, she was Vice President of the English Honor Society chapter and led the UNG Writers Guild for two years, helping students write and gather valuable feedback from one another, enabling them to better proofread and edit their work for future publications. Many of those writers saw their work in print through UNG's award-winning student literary magazine, for which Haley Shea served as an editor for several years. Other campus engagements included running the community book drive for over two years and founding an all-student improv troupe which went on to perform and compete in tournaments around the state and region. While acting helped her become comfortable on-stage, Haley Shea also greatly benefited from her time as a member of the speech and debate team, placing first in statewide debate and slam poetry competitions over the years. Her favorite topic of both debate and poetry is that of human innovation and interaction with emerging technology, especially in relation to ethical policies on artificial intelligence. Captivated by syntax in both spoken language and computer code, she is fascinated with recent developments in language-based software and hopes to contribute to the field of computational psycholinguistics while earning her PhD. After graduating, Haley Shea knew she wanted to keep supporting other students toward their goals. A scholarship student herself, she always loves any chance to help individuals express their strengths and unique personal histories in ways that will help further their goals. To this end, she continues to mentor applicants for nationally competitive scholarships and other student support opportunities, such as the McNair Scholars Program and Goldwater STEM Scholarship, two major awards which made an immense difference toward the funding of her bachelor's education when she was named an official recipient in 2019, in honor of her interdisciplinary research and commitment to fostering student success on campus. She finds joy in any opportunity to uplift other students--especially women in STEM, individuals facing disabilities, or anyone who seeks to improve their command of the English language. In sharing her passions with her students, she helps them break out of "analysis paralysis" into a fun, personalized routine that helps foster positive associations with the topic of study and strong metacognitive skills that lead to improved performance over time. Special Topic Announcement: Students of English writing, grammar, comprehension, et cetera may enjoy developing their meta-linguistic awareness through Sentence Diagramming. Ask during booking to learn more about how you can become a grammar wiz through one-on-one classes in Sentence Diagramming taught by Haley Shea.

As a Computer Science student in the process of pursuing a PhD, I know how important it is to understand the ins-and-outs of your classes. Not only will you be better off understanding the deeper meanings, but you might also find your passion with learning. If that is not the case, it's all good, I enjoy practical applications but I also enjoy the theory behind things. If you are having trouble understanding specific subjects or yo u just want some clarification I am happy to help.

Spencer
AP Statistics Tutor • +57 Subjects
I developed a passion for teaching while I was living in Brazil where my friend and I had a blast teaching our students English while they made fun of our Portuguese (only at first... we got better). I come from a family of educators. My mom, my aunts, my uncle, and my grandparents teach every age group from pre-K to graduate school, so the pursuit of knowledge was always encouraged at my house. I was fortunate to be able to pursue a higher education and graduated from BYU with a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science. My favorite subjects to tutor are math, physics, English, and computer science related courses, though I enjoy tutoring almost any subject.
Matthew
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +43 Subjects
I am one year from completing my Bachelor of Science at the Florida Institute of Technology. I am majoring in both Astronomy and Astrophysics, as well as Planetary Science; with a minor in Computer Science. Upon completion of my Bachelor degree I plan on pursuing a Masters degree, most likely in Physics, Exoplanetary Studies, or Engineering Physics. I find that most students struggle in math and physics because they lack true engagement towards these topics, it is my personal philosophy that how you learn a subject can immensely impact your abilities to succeed in and willingness to pursue related subjects in your academic career. I enjoy working with all ages, as I believe it is never too late to start learning and I enjoy helping students become passionate about their studies. Personally; I am passionate about the fundamental interplay between foundational mathematics and its applications to higher-level physics. My tutoring style/strategies require interactive engagement with students and honest communication; this allows me to understand precisely what is necessary to enhance your learning experience, and encourages students to engage with the content with curiosity and excitement. I feel comfortable tutoring subjects ranging from elementary school mathematics, up to college level mathematics and physics courses. I have experience tutoring my college peers in a wide-range of topics from college algebra and calculus to advanced physics courses such as Electromagnetic Theory and Physical Mechanics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Syntax is the grammar of Python—knowing how to write correct code statements. Programming logic is understanding the thinking process behind solving problems, like breaking down a task into steps or choosing the right data structure. Many students memorize syntax but struggle with logic. Working with a tutor helps you develop both: they'll explain not just how to write code, but why that approach solves the problem. This combination is what makes you a genuinely capable programmer rather than someone just copying patterns.
Debugging is a skill, not just trial-and-error. A tutor teaches you how to read error messages strategically, trace through your code step-by-step, and identify where logic breaks down. Instead of guessing what's wrong, you'll learn to use print statements, understand stack traces, and think like a debugger. Personalized tutoring includes hands-on code review where a tutor watches your debugging process, catches misconceptions early, and shows you techniques that save hours of frustration.
Project-based learning is one of the most effective ways to develop Python skills. A tutor can help you design projects that reinforce what you're learning, break them into manageable steps, and review your code as you build. Whether you're creating a web app, data analysis tool, or game, a tutor provides feedback on code structure, performance, and best practices. They can also help you troubleshoot issues that come up during development, turning problems into learning moments rather than roadblocks.
The best Python tutors combine strong technical skills with the ability to explain concepts clearly. They should be comfortable teaching different areas—whether that's web development with Django, data science with pandas, or algorithms and data structures. Look for tutors who use code review as a teaching tool, ask good questions to help you discover solutions, and adjust their teaching style to how you learn best. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, we match you with tutors who understand both the language and the learning process.
That depends on your starting point and goals. Basic syntax and fundamentals typically take 4-8 weeks with consistent practice. Reaching proficiency where you can write functional programs takes a few months. However, becoming truly skilled—understanding design patterns, optimizing code, and choosing the right tools—is an ongoing process. Personalized tutoring accelerates your progress by targeting your specific gaps, providing focused feedback, and helping you avoid common pitfalls that slow self-taught learners down.
Data structures (lists, dictionaries, sets) and algorithms are foundational, but they're abstract concepts that benefit hugely from guided practice. A tutor can help you visualize how these work, explain why you'd choose one structure over another, and give you problems to solve with increasing difficulty. Rather than memorizing definitions, you'll build intuition through examples and hands-on coding. This makes the transition from 'I understand this in theory' to 'I can actually use this' much smoother.
Yes. While Python fundamentals are the same, the tools and focus differ significantly. Web developers need to understand Django or Flask, databases, and APIs. Data scientists focus on pandas, NumPy, and data manipulation. Game developers use libraries like Pygame. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in your chosen path, so your practice and projects align with your actual goals. This targeted approach means you're not just learning Python in the abstract—you're building skills directly applicable to what you want to do.
