We all learn differently. As Albert Einstein said, "Study is not the learning of facts but the training of the mind to think." Thomas Edison said only five percent of people think; another 10 percent think they think; and 85 percent would rather die than think. Let me help you be one of the five.

Hasan

10th Grade Tutor • +119 Subjects

I am a graduate of Brown University, where I earned my B.A. in Literary Arts and Visual Arts, taking courses in a wide array of subjects ranging from contemporary American fiction to ancient Indian classics. My first teaching experience came in college when I had the privilege of creating and teaching a series of literature courses at a local community center. There are few experiences I find more enriching than facilitating a meaningful dialogue centered around great works of literature and art. While literature and art are my passion, I also tutor in variety of other subjects, including math, science, and test preparation. I currently work as a lead teacher in the after-school program at Archway Classical Academy in Phoenix.

Caroline

College English Tutor • +10 Subjects

I am currently applying to MFA programs and working as a tutor in NYC. I went to Boston University where I studied Mandarin, Political Science, and East Asian Studies. After spending a lot of time in Shanghai and coming back to the US where I worked at a midsize marketing firm, I realized I am really most passionate about literature and reading. I left the marketing world to pursue academia and have been fully immersed in this world of learning and tutoring for over a year. Outside of Varsity Tutors, I also tutor an 11th grade boy several times a week in AP English and AP Biology. Personally, I also enjoy writing fiction, specifically short stories, and I play acoustic guitar.

Imani

Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects

As a tutor, I find it rewarding to help students improve and fortify their academic skills. I love to see students gain confidence, grasping and applying knowledge they didn't understand before. My teaching style is adaptable to the learning style of my students, so I love to spend a little time getting to know my students and incorporate their interests into what they're learning. I can't wait to meet all of the young thinkers on their academic journey and help them unlock their potential!One of my favorite quotes is Albert Einstein's words: "Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think."

I am currently a high school Latin teacher, but I have co-taught all levels of high school English, as well as Math I and II. I have also taught College Prep, which includes not only SAT and ACT prep but also coaching for college admissions essays.Back in my student days, I studied like a maniac and took more standardized tests than I care to remember. As a result, I was admitted to UChicago for undergrad and to Yale for my Ph.D. I'll be happy to pass on all of my study and test taking strategies to you.

Kevin

Algebra Tutor • +10 Subjects

My first math lesson was when I was three years old. When I learned how to add numbers, I realized that there are numerous ways to find a solution, which propelled me to math being my favorite subject. I enjoyed seeing how numbers, logic, and operations come together. Now as a college student pursuing a dual degree in Finance and Business Analytics, I need to apply these math concepts into the business world.Out of all the subjects I have taken, math has been the consistent honors class I take every year. In other words, I always take the highest offered math course that school year allows me to take. In my 5th grade honors math class, I got the highest prealgebra pretest grade out of the whole class. While other students scored in the 50s, I got a 82. Since then, I knew math was my passion. I also did math league competitions and math Olympiad throughout middle and high school. I understood everything the teacher said and quickly became a secondary teacher for my classmates outside the classroom.My first tutoring experience took place in high school. While I took the most accelerated math subjects, I assisted others on their lower math subjects-subjects I took years before. I took my interest of math into AP Statistics, AP Calc, and Multivariable Calc and loved how the symbols created almost a new language of math. When I tutor students, my biggest advice is to understand and memorize the concept before applying formulas and operations into the problem. Practice is a big emphasis to succeed, especially higher degree math. I can teach basically any type of math lower than multivariable calculus, with exception to geometry, since I am not as strong as algebra or calculus. I really do not have a favorite math subject to tutor, since they all connect with each other and I have different styles to teach each of them.Outside of math, I am a big sports fan, and love applying statistics to specific teams and players. I also love playing poker.

Anatomy & Physiology Tutor • +18 Subjects

I am currently a Registered Nurse and MSN candidate. I am currently enrolled in a Dual FNP + Nurse Educator program. I have experience in Medical-Surgical, Surgical-Trauma Critical Care, and Medical Appeals/Quality Assurance/UR.While in nursing school, I was a peer tutor and truly loved helping others succeed. I have decided that I would love to continue this by going to grad school for Nurse Education. I graduated with honors and got all A's and B's while in nursing school. I found a great way to organize my lectures into study guides. I am currently enrolled in a Nurse Educator program and student teach as part of my courses. Currently, we are hybrid and I assist in the virtual aspect of the course. I would love to pass on my knowledge and passion for nursing to those who need help.I would also love to help any high school or middle school students that require assistance in my qualified areas.As a nurse, anatomy/physiology is something that I feel like I am nearly an expert in. I did very well in Pharmacology earning high scores on all exams and recognition from my nursing instructor. I also have a strong background in medical-surgical and complex medical populations. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and truly enjoy learning about human nature.I passed the NCLEX in less than 40 minutes with 75 questions. I studied very hard. I have learned how to read the question in order to ELIMINATE the answers. That is the KEY to NCLEX! And learning how to read what the question is ACTUALLY asking you. But more about that later.I would love to help you not only study, but get organized and stay on track! With my help, you should be able to pass your courses and move forward every semester! :)

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Hoboken's 4 school districts and serves the full range of students in the city's 16 schools. Whether your student attends a public, charter, or private school in Hoboken, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and New Jersey academic standards they're working toward.

Tutors working with Hoboken students are familiar with New Jersey's learning standards and can target instruction to help students master grade-level expectations in math, reading, science, and other core subjects. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, students get support tailored to their specific gaps and learning pace—something that's harder to achieve in Hoboken's average classroom size of 12.2 students per teacher.

Students in Hoboken commonly seek tutoring in math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, and standardized test prep for the SAT and ACT. We also see strong demand for foreign language support—particularly Spanish—and help with writing skills across grade levels. The specific needs vary by student, which is why personalized instruction works so well.

The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals—whether that's improving a grade, preparing for a test, or building confidence in a subject. The tutor will ask questions about what's challenging, review recent schoolwork, and create a personalized plan. Most students leave the first session with a clear sense of direction and momentum.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions—we work with families to find options that fit their budget. Many Hoboken families find that investing in targeted tutoring prevents the need for more intensive intervention later and often leads to improved grades and test scores. We're happy to discuss pricing options during an initial conversation about your student's needs.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and proven teaching ability. Many tutors have education degrees, professional teaching experience, or advanced degrees in their subject areas. Each tutor is selected based on their ability to work effectively with students and understand the academic standards and curriculum your student is learning.

Yes, we connect students with tutors experienced in standardized test prep, including SAT, ACT, and AP exam preparation. Personalized tutoring is particularly effective for test prep because tutors can focus on your student's specific weak areas—whether that's math problem-solving, reading speed, or content mastery—rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Start by telling us about your student's needs—their grade level, subject, and specific challenges. We'll match them with a tutor who's a good fit, and you can schedule a first session at a time that works for your family. The process is straightforward, and most families connect with their tutor within a few days of reaching out.
