Adam
Algebra Tutor • +18 Subjects
Do you struggle to understand your math or physics homework? So did I - math is hard! I always struggled with math all the way through earning my physics degree from Butler University, so I particularly enjoy helping students break down the mathematical barriers in the way of what they want to achieve. I am particularly skilled in explaining why math works and how it might connect If you struggle with math and are frustrated - trust me I HAVE BEEN THERE! I was a high school math and physics teacher for 9 years, so I have a wealth of experience helping struggling students learn a variety of subjects. I taught classes like Algebra Support, Algebra 1, Integrated Chemistry-Physics, AP Physics and everything in between.In addition to a physics degree, I also majored in Middle/Secondary Education, so I have experience working with STEM students in grades 5- 12. My philosophy is to meet students where they are with the content and help them understand how to tackle difficult concepts and break down misconceptions. I do this with a warm, inviting, and understanding approach, so students don't "feel dumb", but instead feel proud of the hard work we do together. I enjoy tutoring physics (at all high school levels including AP Physics ) and algebra. I enjoy Physics and Algebra because Physics explains the world around us, and Algebra is the language we use to describe Physics.Outside of education and tutoring, I like to spend as much time being active as possible. I love riding my bike, climbing, hiking, camping, and generally having adventures whenever I can! I am part of the LGBTQ community, love creating a safe environment in the classroom, through online tutoring, and everywhere I go. I also love spending time watching trashy TV with my two cats, Bradley and Opie, and my wife.
Noe R.
Elementary School Science Tutor • +6 Subjects
I earned a B.S. in biology with minors in geology and government at U.T. Edinburg. I returned to college and got teaching certificates in middle school life-earth science, high school biology and language-learning disabilities. Finally I earned an A.A. in physical therapy. I graduated with honors in all my degrees. I taught life-earth science and special education. In summer months I taught at risk students who were trying to get into college. Later I performed physical therapy on school kids.To finance my physical therapy education, I obtained an SBA loan and opened a tutoring center. Most of my clients were elementary or junior high students, but I did tutor an R.N. who needed to pass introduction to statistics for her career. The most frequent subject I tutored was math which was my favorite. Though math concepts are simple many students are intimidated by them. Students that have struggled with a concept need to bolster their confidence before mastering it. Teaching one to one or in small groups allows me to craft my lessons to match each students learning style.On my time off I attend science lectures at local colleges and started a science meet up group. I also enjoy working out at the gym.
Robert
Electrical Engineering Tutor • +8 Subjects
I enjoy learning and discovering new things. I learn by seeing how things are done and then trying them myself. Also, it may take a couple of attempts before I get it right.I like to tutor in the same fashion by working in a collaborative fashion and demonstrating through examples. Completely understand that it may take a couple of iterations before someone understands the concepts.
Janet
ACCUPLACER Prep Tutor • +51 Subjects
I graduated from Southwestern Illinois University in Edwardsville with a BS in Mathematics Education. My first job was teaching junior high school math in East St. Louis. Some of my students were nearly as old as I. It was quite an experience for a first year teacher. Very challenging. I moved to the northern part of the state and taught middle school and high school in a small district of 7000 students for 16 years. These experiences were varied. I team taught in a school with no walls. We had students working independently with no direct instruction. Each student was given independent tutoring and allowed to progress at their own pace. I also taught computer intro courses. I moved to Chicago in 1989. I taught high school algebra, geometry, and algebra 2 until I retired in 2016. I also tutored students who were prepping for the high stakes standardized tests they take as juniors. I taught after school programs and summer classes for students who were making up credits in order to graduate. I have learned to adjust my teaching approach for the students I have before me. I understand the concept of learning styles. I have experience with students who are bilingual and are struggling with English as a second language. I have worked with students of all skill levels. I have tried to remain healthy by running and going to the fitness center daily. I enjoy keeping current on the news and going out with friends.I am using this extreme stay at home time to enhance my online tutoring skills and to explore the technology that is being employed to bring education into students' homes. I have also explored the possibilities that this unprecedented time in history has caused some to contemplate a new reality for education. Education may never return to what it was before.
John
EMT - Emergency Medical Technicians Tutor • +2 Subjects
As a student myself, I understand just how difficult studying can be. That's why I'm passionate about collaborating with others to make it easier. I am a second year student at American University in Washington, DC studying Communications, Legal Institutions, Economics and Government. Outside of my college life, I am an EMT with 4 years of EMS experience who is passionate about helping new providers to flourish. I enjoy helping students to master statistics, and new EMT students to prepare for their national registry exam. I believe that by breaking down complex topics into basic rules and principles, every student can not only be successful, but can enjoy their studies. If this sounds like it interests you, let's work together.
Mark
AP Physics 1 Tutor • +22 Subjects
I have recently retired from the HiTech industry as an Engineering Executive with a Professional Engineering License practicing more than 35yrs. Additionally, my MS Mechanical Engineering Degree was focused on Structural Mechanics as a specialty. Since retirement from industry, I have been a substitute High School teacher for Math and Science along with being a Varsity Tutor. Both educational roles allow me to be a mentor by helping future STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) students grow educationally, and Engineers pass their FE & PE Exams in achieving Engineering Licensure. The FE & PE License Exam Curriculum that I have developed is highly successful with over a 90% passing rate for those students tutored.
Matthew
Business Tutor • +9 Subjects
There are so many things to learn in the business world and so many opportunities, which is one of the many reasons why I love it! After getting my degree in Finance from East Carolina University, I spent a couple years working in Finance and later moved on to start my own real estate company.Business is more than just a subject matter to me, it became a part of my lifestyle! Everywhere I go I look at different businesses and try to understand what they do, how did they get there, why are they there and what would I do if I need to improve their business? One of the many reasons why I love teaching people about business is because it gives me an excuse to talk about it. More importantly, it also allows me to help people learn this world and show how you can be independent without taking on a lot of risk.I look forward to helping you in the world of business by using examples that you can relate with and showing you my "out of the box" approach towards simplifying the learning curve when you're starting in business.
Melissa
American Council on Exercise (ACE) Tutor • +9 Subjects
My background is in Athletic Training. I have a bachelors degree and a masters degree in AT. My love of sports and for the human body has led me down this path. I am a current college professor teaching a wide variety of courses in health, anatomy and physiology, and exercise science. I have recently gone on to continue my education and just completed my doctoral degree in kinesiology. I teach college students primarily but do have experience teaching middle school age students through an anatomy camp each summer. I also have 3 children in elementary school in which I am probably overly involved in their learning.As far as my teaching style goes, I love to present information in multiple ways. I often look for youtube videos on content that students don't understand, and use them instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. I also like to use images, both labeled and unlabeled. Often times it takes hearing something more than once for it to be remembered and my goal is to provide repetition but in a way that it not so repetitive. I also encourage my students to teach me. If you can act like the teacher than you know the content.When I'm not teaching, I enjoy traveling around and showing my kids different historic sites and National Parks. I think one can learn a lot when traveling and it is one way I like to teach my own children about our world, culture, country, and even math. I'm a former soccer player turned soccer mom now, but I love all sports. Because I teach anatomy, health, and exercise science, many of my students are athletes so I am able to use sports to teach concepts.We can learn from the world around us, we just need a little encouragement to get started.
Sanya
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +14 Subjects
I've always believed in the saying " having a purpose is the difference between making a living and making a life." I have been working in the Financial Industry for Thirteen years, I have completed my Bachelors in Law and Society. I initially chose Law because I have always wanted to embark on a career path where I can make a difference. My passion for service and my purpose in making a difference was what led me to the field of study in law.I have spent the past 13 years working in Corporate America as an Administrative Assistant supporting senior managers booking travel, managing calendars etc. Although I love my job I always feel I wanted to do more, I felt I wasn't making much of an impact and contributing to society. Working with senior managers has helped me to become a well rounded individual but something was missing.I've always looked for ways I can do more and fulfill my purpose by making a difference. I have a passion for learning and as a result I have always looked for ways to increase my knowledge. I have volunteered with organisations such as LIU school of continuing Ed. where I use my weekends to tutor students learning English I have also volunteered at 1199 Adult Learning Center each time I completed a class I would feel so fulfilled I felt I was making a difference and this made me happy. I have also completed a TESOL program during the time I was tutoring to help me be better equipped to assist the students. I have also traveled to Tanzania numerous times and found the Swahili language interesting as well as the people.Education is very important to me and this is the reason I have decided to enroll in the World Language Teacher Graduate Certificate Program. I do believe that shaping minds from a young age is essential to how one's future is shaped. The youth are the future training young people at an early age by giving them the tools to succeed and educating them will boost their confidence and give them a better quality of life and also prepare them to become leaders.Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in preparing for a wide range of professional certifications, including IT certifications (CompTIA, Cisco, Microsoft), project management (PMP, CAPM), finance and accounting (CPA, CFA), healthcare credentials (NCLEX, pharmacy technician), and many others. Tutors can work with you on exam-specific content, test-taking strategies, and practice problems tailored to your certification's format and requirements.
One-on-one instruction allows tutors to identify exactly where you're struggling and adapt their teaching to fill those gaps, rather than having you spend time on concepts you already understand. Personalized tutoring also provides accountability, structured study plans, and the ability to ask questions immediately when you're confused. Research on learning shows that individualized instruction significantly accelerates progress compared to self-study alone.
Preparation timelines vary widely depending on your starting knowledge, the specific certification, and how frequently you meet with your tutor. Some certifications require 2-3 months of focused study, while others may take 6+ months. Your tutor can assess your baseline knowledge and create a realistic timeline with specific milestones, helping you stay on track to meet your certification deadline.
Yes. Tutors work with students at all knowledge levels, from those brand-new to a field to those with substantial experience. If you're making a career transition, your tutor can start with foundational concepts and progressively build your knowledge toward certification-level competency. This scaffolded approach helps you develop both the conceptual understanding and practical skills needed to succeed on your exam and in your new role.
Effective strategies include breaking complex topics into smaller, manageable pieces; using practice exams repeatedly to identify weak areas; and spacing out your study sessions over time rather than cramming. A tutor helps by explaining difficult technical concepts in ways that stick, creating focused practice plans, and providing feedback on your progress. This combination of targeted instruction and strategic practice leads to stronger retention and better exam performance.
Your tutor can help you assess readiness through practice exams, diagnostic reviews, and honest conversations about your confidence level. Most certification exams have published study guides and pass rates you can reference. A good benchmark is consistently scoring at or above the passing threshold on full-length practice tests under exam conditions. Your tutor can also help you decide if you need more preparation time or if you're ready to schedule your exam.
Varsity Tutors works with tutors across many industries and certification types. If you're preparing for a specialized certification, reach out with details about the exam and field—tutors often have expertise in niche areas, and we may be able to connect you with someone who's a great fit. Even if a direct specialist isn't available, tutors skilled in related subjects can often help you master the material and exam strategies.
