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!

I am currently a student at Duke University studying Biomedical Engineering and Economics. Just a little bit about me and some of my interests. Some of my favorite academic interests include memoirs and modern classics. I think Catcher in the Rye is still one of my all time favorite books but Percy Jackson, a modern classic, is up there too. Beyond academics, I take great guilty pleasure in watching TV shows such as Westworld, Sherlock, How I Met Your Mother, and even The Bachelorette when I'm at a low point.

Middle School Math Tutor • +35 Subjects

I am currently attending Johns Hopkins University, pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Applied Math and Statistics. I love helping students and I love the feeling I get knowing that I was able to use my knowledge to make someone else happier. My favorite subject to teach is math because there are so many ways to learn it and if one way does not help I can use another. I used to teach taekwondo and interacted with all kinds of students, and I'm excited to help out more! Hobbies: books, reading, music, writing, art

Isabella

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +27 Subjects

I am a graduate of MIT. I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with minors in Management Science and Ancient and Medieval Studies. Since graduation, I have started my PhD at Georgia Tech in Operations Research. Throughout my career I have TA'd several math and computer science courses at the college level. I have also taught at summer programs for gifted middle school and high school students. I am passionate about tutoring kids in math and science because I think that a strong foundation in STEM at an early age can set the tone for their future. In my spare time I like to engage in athletics, and was a Division 1 rower in college. Hobbies: reading, swimming, writing, books, music, running, art

David

Competition Math Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am a graduate of Stanford University, where I received a BS in Cognitive Science and an MS in Computer Science. After graduation, I spent a summer in Palestine, where I taught web development, app development, and entrepreneurship to a cohort of overenthusiastic high school students; now, I've moved halfway across the country from the Bay Area to the Twin Cities. From volunteering with organizations like Twin Cities Rise and The Mid-Continent Oceanographic Institute to checking out art institutions like the Walker and Mia, it's been such a wonderful time settling into this new place that I call home.

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +52 Subjects

I'm available to tutor biology, chemistry, physics, math from Algebra up through AP Calculus, SAT test prep, and French. I've been tutoring students in science and math for 7 years. I also spent 8 months working and studying in France, and have tutored high school and adult students in French. When I'm not working or studying, I love playing volleyball (indoors or on the beach!) and spending time outside, canoeing or hiking with my dog. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across a wide range of technology and coding subjects, including:

  • Programming languages like Python, Java, C++, JavaScript, and more
  • Web development (HTML, CSS, React, etc.)
  • Computer science fundamentals and algorithms
  • Database design and SQL
  • Mobile app development
  • Game development
  • AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A
  • Coding interviews and technical problem-solving
  • IT certification prep

Whether you're just starting to learn to code or preparing for advanced technical interviews, there's personalized tutoring available to match your goals.

In a typical classroom, coding instruction often moves at a fixed pace that doesn't always match individual learning speeds. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your specific challenges—whether that's debugging logic errors, understanding complex concepts like recursion, or building real projects from the ground up.

Tutors can adapt explanations to your learning style, provide immediate feedback on your code, and spend extra time on weak areas without anyone falling behind or getting bored. This targeted approach typically leads to faster skill development and stronger conceptual understanding than classroom-only learning.

Tutors work with students at every level—from complete beginners taking their first steps with coding fundamentals, to intermediate learners building projects and learning new languages, to advanced students preparing for technical interviews or tackling specialized topics like machine learning and system design.

Whether you're in middle school exploring coding for the first time, a high school student in AP Computer Science, a college student in challenging CS courses, or a career-changer preparing for a tech interview, personalized instruction can be customized to your current level and goals.

Yes. Tutors can guide you through the entire project development process—from planning and pseudocode, to writing clean code, debugging, and optimization. This hands-on approach builds real problem-solving skills that transfer directly to your coursework, internships, and job interviews.

Many students work with tutors to develop portfolio projects that demonstrate their abilities to potential employers or universities. A tutor can help you choose meaningful projects, work through technical obstacles, and refine your work to a professional standard.

Concepts like object-oriented programming, recursion, data structures, and algorithms can feel abstract in a classroom setting. Tutors break these down into digestible pieces, use concrete examples and visualizations, and build understanding step-by-step rather than lecturing at pace.

With personalized instruction, you can ask questions freely without worrying about slowing others down, and tutors can re-explain concepts in different ways until they click. This deliberate, concept-focused approach helps transform confusing topics into skills you can apply with confidence.

Yes. Many students work with tutors to prepare for technical interviews, coding assessments, and competitive programming challenges. Tutors can help you practice problem-solving under time constraints, develop efficient algorithms, communicate your thought process clearly, and build the confidence that comes from solving real interview-style problems.

Whether you're preparing for an internship, your first tech job, or advancing your career, structured interview prep with personalized feedback significantly improves both your technical skills and interview performance.

Students typically see improvements in multiple areas: stronger foundational understanding of core concepts, ability to write cleaner and more efficient code, faster problem-solving skills, increased confidence tackling new languages or frameworks, and better grades in CS courses. Many students also report improved debugging skills and the ability to learn new technologies independently.

The timeline varies based on your starting point and goals, but most students notice measurable progress within a few weeks of consistent, personalized instruction focused on their specific challenges.
