Esther

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +35 Subjects

I'm currently a Junior at the University of Pennsylvania majoring in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics and a 2014 graduate of Phillips Academy. As a product of great tutoring myself, I focus on being patient, flexible, and kind with all of my students. Outside of my academics, I'm a member of the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority and am heavily involved in student theatre, usually directing 2 productions each year. Dogs of any and every breed, iced coffee, and spending time in NYC are a few of my favorite things!

Johari

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +20 Subjects

I am an actor/composer/lyricist who loves to write new showtunes. Musical theatre is something I have grown to love, and the love, surprisingly, stems from my own devotion to cartoons and video games. But, make no mistake, while I can often be found watching an episode of Justice League, playing Smash, or giving the City of Angels score another listen, I will always put you first. Hobbies: art, reading, writing, books, music

Charlie

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects

I am a current student at Cornell University with a 4.0 GPA. In High School, I was a National AP Scholar and a National Merit Finalist. I am passionate about helping students succeed, and I am patient and enjoy walking through multiple methods to help a student find what works best for them. I enjoy helping students reach their potential. While I tutor a range of subjects, I am most interested in and best equipped to tutor students in SAT prep (math, English, and test-taking strategies), history, economics, and statistics. In my spare time, I am likely watching baseball, playing basketball, or watching The Office.

I am currently a fourth year medical student at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and graduated Suma Cum Laude from Yeshiva College with a BA in Biology and Music. As a Writing Center tutor, I worked with undergraduate and graduate students looking to improve their writing, and have also tutored Regents-level biology and chemistry. Most recently, I tutored for Kaplan, teaching an MCAT preparatory course and working one-on-one with students. When not studying, I like to ride my bike, train Taekwondo, play blues guitar (or bass, or piano, or saxophone, or drums), and read a good book.

Sherry

Middle School Math Tutor • +34 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, with a bachelor's degree in psychology and linguistics. Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree in speech-language pathology at Teachers College, Columbia University. In the past, I have worked as a teacher's aide in a public school classroom, a mentor to middle school girls, an instructor and tutor at the literacy education organization 826, and a summer camp counselor. I tutor a diverse range of subjects, and I find that I especially enjoy tutoring language arts, reading, and writing at all levels, from elementary school all the way up to college/grad school test prep. As a tutor, I am committed to helping students reach their full potential as learners. Throughout my years as an educator, I have seen firsthand the remarkable academic growth that can occur when tutors provide students with the individualized support that they need. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, journaling, and learning about other languages and cultures.

Maya

Calculus Tutor • +37 Subjects

I am a Yale University graduate with over seven years of tutoring experience with children and adults of all ages, specializing in writing, reading, English, college prep, and working with differently-abled learners. As a writer and entrepreneur, I have tutored since high school because it is something I truly enjoy. I approach tutoring with patience, and with finding a motivation to learn and excel that is specific to each student. With young adults and older learners, I approach each skill with purpose in reaching their individual goals and dreams, and with younger learners it is all personalize-practice-reward, working with parents and mentors to understand their needs and facilitate their individual learning and success. I'd love to hear from you and discuss how we can make the most out of our time together!

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students across Mount Vernon's 20 schools and 2 school districts. With over 7,200 students in the area, we've built relationships with educators and families throughout the community to provide personalized tutoring support aligned with local curriculum standards.

New York has rigorous academic benchmarks, and our tutors are familiar with state learning standards and assessments like Regents exams. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps students master grade-level concepts, close learning gaps, and build the skills needed to succeed on New York State assessments and in their Mount Vernon classrooms.

Students in Mount Vernon typically seek help with math, English language arts, test preparation (SAT/ACT), and New York State Regents exams. We also work with students on algebra, geometry, chemistry, and writing skills—subjects that are critical for high school success and college readiness across both of Mount Vernon's school districts.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1 in Mount Vernon schools, classroom teachers manage significant student loads. Personalized tutoring provides the individualized attention that allows students to ask questions, work at their own pace, and receive targeted feedback—something that's harder to achieve in larger classroom settings.

Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's learning style, current strengths, and areas for growth. The tutor will ask about specific challenges your student faces in their Mount Vernon classroom, review relevant schoolwork, and create a personalized plan to help them succeed.

We work with families to find tutoring plans that fit their budgets and schedules. Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Contact us to discuss options for your student's needs—we're committed to making quality tutoring accessible to Mount Vernon families.

Tutors who work with students in Mount Vernon are subject experts with proven teaching experience. They understand New York's curriculum standards and know how to adapt their instruction to each student's learning style. All tutors are carefully selected to ensure they can help students achieve their academic goals.

We track progress through improved grades, stronger performance on assessments, and increased confidence in the classroom.
