Hi! My name is Frannie and I have been passionate about mathematics since I can remember. I worked as a Quant in the energy industry doing statistical risk analysis and modeling for 8 years, and have dual Masters of Science degrees in Applied Statistics and Computer Science. I am excited to meet new students, and to join them on their journey with math and computer science. I absolutely love getting to know my students and helping them get those "light bulb" moments with the material. My specialties are Algebra, Precalculus/Finite Math, Statistics and Probability, and Computer Programming in C, C++, Python, R and SAS. I also have used Excel daily for 10+ years and can teach data manipulations from simple to advanced as well as VBA macros. I am very much looking forward to becoming your tutor!

I found my love of tutoring and teaching during my undergraduate work at Jacksonville University studying Marine Science. I always hosted study sessions and worked with my classmates to prepare ourselves for our exams and found that I got such joy from helping them understand the material! I graduated Suma Cum Laude from Jacksonville University with a Bachelors of Science in Marine Science. I then began teaching at a private school for the next 3 years. Following that, I began working for a local virtual school and tutoring at Florida State College of Jacksonville. I loved working individually with students, helping them learn how to better understand the material themselves.I have taught and tutored middle school, high school, and college aged students. Most of my experience is in the life sciences (Biology, Environmental Science, ect), but I have experience with tutoring Chemistry and math through Algebra 2. I love sharing my passion for the sciences with students!I enjoy reading and walking in nature as my hobbies.I look forward to working with any student online or in the Jacksonville area!
Doug
Algebra Tutor • +12 Subjects
I'm originally from Houston, and I've moved back home to begin my engineering career after graduating from the University of Arizona. While I was in school, I spent time tutoring fellow students in math and logic classes. Doing this I found that I really enjoy helping people learn and overcome obstacles.After I learn a bit about my students I try to adapt my teaching style to fit their learning style, auditory/visual/etc. I strive to generate those 'lightbulb' moments, when suddenly it all clicks "everything seems so simple now!" Hopefully in the shortest amount of time possible!In my free time I enjoy playing Ultimate Frisbee with the Houston club team, amateur web development, martial arts (Kung Fu!), and cooking.

Sabrina
College English Tutor • +11 Subjects
As a double-degree recipient from Columbia University, with a B.A. in political science and a M.S. in journalism, I am best at helping my students take their academics to the next level in reading, writing, and essay composition. One of the biggest hurdles in writing is getting past writer's block and crafting a unique composition; I help students through that by breaking down the process into easy, digestible steps. Once the anxiety and trepidation is gone, writing becomes fun.

I'm a fourth year medical student who will graduate from Georgetown University School of Medicine in May 2025. I have been tutoring since high school in a wide variety of subjects at all levels of education from elementary school to the graduate level. My tutoring philosophy is to identify where and how students are struggling and to use each student's learning style to break down concepts and learn in smaller steps. While I have a wide breadth of subjects in I am comfortable tutoring, I am most experience in the maths and sciences
Richard
Admissions Tutor • +6 Subjects
I am a current undergraduate student at the University of Pittsburgh. I am studying Applied Mathematics, with a concentration in Theoretical Statistics and World History. I currently tutor other undergrad students at the tutoring center on campus and have been doing so for the last five months. I enjoy tutoring students in a wide range of subjects, but I have the most fun tutoring students in Calculus 1 and College Algebra. I believe that earning a high score on homework assignments and exams is important, but being able to see a student firmly understand a concept is where I gain my most enjoyment. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, reading, and playing video games with my friends.

Frequently Asked Questions
German literature presents several common obstacles for students. Understanding dense philosophical texts and complex sentence structures—German sentences often build meaning across multiple clauses—requires careful analysis. Many students struggle with historical and cultural context necessary to appreciate works by Goethe, Kafka, or Brecht. Additionally, reading in German while simultaneously analyzing literary themes demands significant vocabulary knowledge and grammatical understanding. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps students break down difficult passages, build relevant vocabulary, and develop strategies for engaging with challenging texts at their own pace.
The best German literature tutors combine native or near-native fluency with deep knowledge of German literary history, major movements (Romanticism, Expressionism, etc.), and key authors. They should be able to explain cultural and historical contexts that shape understanding of texts, guide close reading analysis, and help students develop critical thinking skills specific to literary study. Look for tutors who can bridge language instruction with literary analysis—someone who understands that studying German literature strengthens both your language skills and analytical abilities simultaneously.
Personalized instruction allows tutors to work with you on passages that confuse you most, explaining sentence structure, idiomatic expressions, and cultural references that impact meaning. Tutors can teach you active reading strategies specific to German literature—like identifying key themes, tracking character development, and recognizing literary devices. They can also provide historical and biographical context that illuminates why authors made specific choices. This targeted approach is far more effective than classroom instruction, where teachers must move at a pace that serves thirty students rather than focusing on your specific comprehension gaps.
You don't need to be a grammar expert, but understanding key grammatical structures helps tremendously when analyzing literature. German's cases, complex verb forms, and sentence construction directly affect how meaning is created and conveyed in texts. A good tutor helps you understand grammar not as abstract rules, but as tools authors use for stylistic effect. For example, understanding how word order shifts meaning helps you appreciate Kafka's unconventional syntax or recognize when an author deliberately breaks grammatical conventions for emphasis. Tutors can address grammar questions as they naturally arise during close reading, making the learning feel relevant and purposeful.
Absolutely. One major advantage of personalized 1-on-1 instruction is sustained conversation practice unavailable in typical classroom settings. Tutors can engage you in meaningful discussions about texts, ask probing analytical questions, and help you articulate literary interpretations in German. This develops both your conversational fluency and your ability to use academic language for literary analysis. Discussing themes, character motivations, and authorial intent gives you purposeful speaking practice with immediate feedback on your language use—something that strengthens both your German skills and your critical thinking simultaneously.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors experienced in various German literature curricula and standards, whether you're preparing for AP German Literature exams, International Baccalaureate coursework, or college-level seminars. Tutors can align their instruction with your specific course requirements and the texts your teacher assigns. They help you master required works, understand literary analysis frameworks your course emphasizes, and develop strong essay and discussion skills aligned with your curriculum's expectations. If you're studying particular authors or periods—whether Weimar-era modernism or contemporary German writers—your tutor can build expertise in those areas to support your coursework.
With consistent personalized instruction, students typically develop stronger reading comprehension skills, deeper appreciation for German literary traditions and authors, and more confident analytical writing about texts. Many students see improved grades on essays and exams as they learn to construct stronger literary arguments. Beyond academics, many find their overall German language skills—vocabulary, grammar understanding, and reading fluency—improve significantly through engaging with literature at a sophisticated level. Students often develop genuine enthusiasm for German authors and cultural traditions they previously found intimidating, making literature study feel rewarding rather than burdensome.
