Suganthini
Business Tutor • +19 Subjects
I am currently a practicing CPA in the public accounting industry. I received my bachelor's and master's of Accounting from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. I now live in Hoboken, NJ!I am currently tutoring in most math and business subjects, as well as for the ACT and CPA exams. As a CPA, I have always loved and excelled at math. In college, I often led review sessions for my math classes and also peer reviewed essays.I do not have a particular tutoring style. I like to say whatever works best for the students works best for me! I believe the key to mastering any subject is understanding it in your own way. During our sessions, that will be one of our biggest goals, determine your learning style and how you best understand, absorb, and retain material.Outside of tutoring and my job, I love to dance! I am very into fitness and have been dancing since I was 7 years old. I was even on a competitive dance team in college! I also love trying difficult baking recipes and colored pencil portraits.

Medicine Tutor • +5 Subjects
I have been a Nurse for 33 years, and it has always been my nature to care for and help others. Therefore, I very much subscribe to Mr. Roger's statement, "to look for the helper people" when you are anxious or in need.I took the long route in my nursing career because I am a single parent of two boys, well, men now. I started my nursing career as an LPN for 14 years while working on my Associate's Degree in Nursing. I then finished my Bachelor's Degree and my Master's Degree in Nursing Education in 2020. I have developed organizational and study skills over many years as a student. I am a Nursing Lab Professor known for my creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. I currently teach first-semester nursing students Health Promotion and Assessment Lab and Pharmacology Lab.I have always been drawn to vulnerable populations, and before becoming an instructor, I worked for 17 years as an Adult Medical/Surgical Hematology/Oncology Bone Marrow Transplant Nurse.I look forward to meeting and working with you!Brenda
Anju
ACT Writing Tutor • +59 Subjects
The experience of graduating from Medical school as an ophthalmologist, then pursuing a Ph.D. from PennState, followed by an M.H.A from PennState, has really trained me to be a lifelong student and learner. My almost four years of experience as an instructor/professor has given me the opportunity to pass on learning skills to students. My most rewarding feedback is when students learn how to learn independently. Then I know they are on the path to success, nothing can stop them then. And that is true education.

Michael
Bar Exam Tutor • +8 Subjects
I am a lawyer with almost 40 years of experience practicing law having been admitted to the Pennsylvania and Federal bar in 1982 after graduating from Rutgers Law School. As a result, I have a background in a wide variety of legal areas, most of which involve representing real people. These areas include: consumer and small business bankruptcy and all matter related to people suffering from debt problems, all types of civil litigation, criminal law (including my internship in law school and Court appointed representation of criminal defendants) Family Law, Court appointed Dependency work, wills, deeds act.; and collections, insurance defense and subrogation, My years of practice have taught me how to communicate not only with the Court and my colleagues, but also to clearly communicate the sometimes complex legal issues to my clients. In addition to learning to speak publicly. I have also learned to write effectively when drafting court documents like Motions and Briefs (some of my reported cases are on my resume).I love being an attorney. especially being able to effectively represent my clients in what is often one of the most difficult times of their lives. It may be good to be the King, but for me, practicing law is more rewarding and my idea of fun. Outside of my work, my interests include history (which was my major at Penn State University) reading, swimming, and following sports and politics.
Amber
6th Grade AP Language Composition Tutor • +148 Subjects
I want my students to feel comfortable in their classroom. I try to be as warm and welcoming as I can.Rapport building is important to me. I want the student to feel cared for and safe in this space, considering we never fully know what their life, school, or world pressure they're under is going to be in their daily lives, their tutoring sessions with me can be a time for fun and learning.There is no need for this to be something they dread, but instead, something they look forward to. My spaces are relaxed, safe, and still offering the most amount of learning I can give the students. I don't want any student in the group to feel left out or behind. I play to the strengths they show and give those the chance to shine.I use positive error correction and don't focus on mistakes for too long per session, because we can always revisit it as lessons go on.Learning should not be scary.Students should feel free to ask questions and be wrong, or right, or close. Fear of being wrong keeps a student from realizing how close they are to "getting it". Teaching is collaboration.Rewarding and positive correction are the best ways to encourage students to keep trying even after a mistake is made. I also think that due to the nature of learning over time, focusing too long on one mistake, especially in grammar at least, is not as conducive as saying, good practice, we will keep working on this, and going to the next point.In lots of events, the thing that confuses them may become clearer through more examples of it, or from a different concept allowing the difficult to manage concept to "click". Focusing on one issue a student isn't grasping causes more harm than good when it causes the child to become so frustrated that they simply shut down and stop trying to learn at all.Assessing learning styles after repeated issues with problems is necessary. If a student needs to sing, they can sing their reading assignment to hear the errors. They can tap their body as they learn the stronger math concepts. They can hear the directions read, they can read in silence and be asked comprehension questions. There is no need to stick to a formula that matches every student as there is no such thing.

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.
