Tameem

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +37 Subjects

I've been a tutor for almost four years now and have always had a passion for both learning and teaching. I started tutoring in my neighborhood in the 9th grade. My experiences range from teaching 5th graders all the way to college students in both a classroom and a one-on-one setting. I am qualified to teach math subjects up to Trigonometry, SHSAT, SAT, and Economics. I would have to say that teaching SAT prep is my favorite course in that it tends to be the most stressful and intimidating subject for high schoolers. Seeing students overcome such boundaries is what make tutoring worthwhile for me. I believe that learning should be both challenging and rewarding, not scary and pointless. Having a tutor can take the fear away from learning a new topic and help the student better understand both the new topic and himself or herself. Currently, I am a premed student at Cornell University, working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Economics.

Jan

5th Grade Math Tutor • +11 Subjects

I hail from the small town of Lambertville, NJ, and have a BA in Political Science from Rutgers University and a BA in Diplomacy & International Relations from Seton Hall University. My passions lie in English, History, and teaching in general. I believe the quest for knowledge and understanding is paramount to living a better life.Based on my teaching experiences, I have developed a teaching philosophy that gives the students the room they need to create and take ownership of their studies. My goal is to foster independence in every student and allow these students to thrive individually and when working with others in group settings. My methods have been developed through my own experiences in the classroom and through observation of effective educators.I believe that a strong focus should be placed on reading comprehension and comparative analysis, for I firmly believe that students will understand the subject matter better and have a stronger sense for context of what they are studying if it is relayed to them in the proper framework. I want students to be able to explain the events instead of merely reading and repeating what is in their textbooks.I would describe my teaching style as very communicative, calm, and friendly, all while achieving great results from my students.

Michelle

ACT Reading Tutor • +29 Subjects

Hi! I'm an undergraduate of senior standing at Wheaton College majoring in Economics and minoring in Urban Studies. My favorite tutoring experience was with Concordia Language Villages, teaching Japanese every day for a four-week program. Combined with teaching Japanese entirely in the Japanese language, my teaching methods focused on interactive activities and applying learned knowledge through fun games and practicing the content to retain understanding.My teaching philosophy is that while every student is different, requiring unique lesson plans and teaching styles, everyone can greatly improve with some guided effort. Encouragement goes a long way!Outside of tutoring and school, my hobbies include piano composition, reading Japanese books and travelling across the world. I look forward to connecting with you!

Akanksha

Algebra Tutor • +44 Subjects

As a student, I understand how difficult school can be. Breaking down difficult concepts to more basic, understandable ideas can make all the difference. Learning should be tailored to one's needs, and classrooms cannot always teach that way. I look forward to helping students work to their full potential, and make the learning process easy.In terms of experience, I have been tutoring for 6 years now, with ages ranging from kindergarten through second-year college students.

Amber

Bar Exam Tutor • +24 Subjects

My passion for education has been evident my entire life - one doesn't earn three post-graduate degrees without loving learning! But that passion extends to teaching, too, and I love being able to share my education and understanding with others.I am a graduate of Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, earning a bachelors degree in Communication Studies. I continued in that subject matter at the University of Iowa, where I earned a Master's degree and Ph.D. in Communication Studies, with emphasis in rhetoric, interpersonal communication, and persuasion. I also earned a J.D. at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, and am a member of the Minnesota bar.I have been teaching and tutoring for over 15 years. I have tutored in small group and individual settings for students taking the LSAT, GRE and Bar exams. Additionally, I have significant experience teaching college classes, including communication theory, public speaking, interpersonal communication, and research methods.Particularly in cases of test prep (but also as a general guideline), I like to focus on a student's strengths, not weaknesses. I evaluate to see what kind of thinking a student employs and teach them how to identify and answer those questions. Then we look for ways to use those strengths to address other questions and build up expertise from that. I have found that this helps students feel confident about their own intelligence, able to improve in challenging areas, and create a long-term learning strategy.

Brett

Accompaniment Tutor • +24 Subjects

I first became interested in tutoring and teaching back in high school when I got involved in tutoring elementary and middle school students for FCAT prep. As I progressed through my four years at Northwestern I found tutoring and teaching high school students and my peers to be something I very much enjoyed, so I am seeking to continue this since I have graduated.I approach any subject by trying to reinforce the foundation of that subject while learning new concepts. If a student is working on algebra, while learning new information its good to reinforce the ideas and concepts learned in pre-algebra. This serves as a base for algebra. This helps students remember new ideas and concepts in the long term but also will help them develop a foundation to pick up information quicker while seeing an improvement in scores.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Newark has 20 school districts serving over 59,000 students across 93 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized instruction. Whether your student attends a Newark Public School, a charter school, or a private institution, we match them with tutors who understand the specific curriculum and standards they're working with.

Newark's average student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1 means many students don't get the individualized attention they need to master challenging concepts. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills that gap by allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning pace, learning style, and specific areas of struggle—something that's difficult in a traditional classroom setting.

Tutors connected through Varsity Tutors are familiar with New Jersey's learning standards and assessment expectations, including the New Jersey Student Learning Standards (NJSLS) across subjects like math, ELA, science, and social studies. They tailor instruction to ensure students build the skills and knowledge required for grade-level success and standardized assessments.

Students for students in Newark seek help across a wide range of subjects, with math and English language arts being the most common. We also connect students with tutors for science, social studies, test prep (including SAT and ACT), and language learning. The specific needs vary by grade level and individual student goals.

The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their learning style, current strengths, challenges, and goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically and discuss a personalized plan for moving forward. This foundation helps ensure that every session that follows is targeted and effective.

Start by telling us about your student's needs and goals. Varsity Tutors will match them with an expert tutor who fits their learning style and academic focus. Once matched, you'll schedule your first session and begin personalized instruction tailored to your student's pace and goals.

Absolutely. Whether your student is struggling with fractions in elementary math, algebra in middle school, or complex essay writing in high school, personalized tutoring targets those specific gaps. Tutors break down difficult concepts into manageable pieces and use practice and feedback to build real understanding—not just test-taking tricks.

Varsity Tutors works with students on all kinds of goals—raising grades, preparing for the SAT or ACT, getting ready for AP exams, mastering a challenging subject, or accelerating ahead of grade level. Tutors create a customized plan based on your student's specific objective and timeline, making sure instruction stays focused and measurable.
