I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it).

Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley and Duke University. I received my Bachelor's degree in History and my Master's degree in Religious Studies. Since graduation I have tutored students in American History and Biblical Hebrew, which were exceedingly rewarding experiences. I am especially passionate in helping students learn to think critically, and enjoy the process of learning. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am most enthusiastic about tutoring in History and Writing because these subjects utilize skills that students will use and cultivate throughout their lives and are applicable for many careers. I would describe my teaching philosophy as hands on and project-based learning. I strive to include fun and relevant videos, songs, and activities into my curriculum to ensure the engagement of my students. Outside of academia I like painting, baking, hiking, photography, and having game nights with friends.

Caleb
Middle School Math Tutor • +33 Subjects
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and I am studying social studies with a focus on Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. I have lived my whole life until college in the incredible countries of Rwanda and Kenya (with one year in Egypt). Since education wasn't easily accessible to me through elementary school, very early on I had to learn how to love learning and teach myself. Even after many years of more formal education I haven't lost that spark and that ownership of my education yet! I love tutoring because it allows me to bring people into that same kind of ownership of their knowledge. I love tutoring all sorts of different subjects, but I have the most experience (and maybe the most love) for tutoring in calculus, French, Arabic, English as a second language, and test prep!

Jonathan
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +14 Subjects
I am a freshman at Vanderbilt University currently pursuing a B.S. in Biochemistry. My inquisitive nature has fostered a love for mathematics, the natural sciences, and how they interact to produce the world we experience every day. This extends to my teaching strategy, where I emphasize the importance of conceptual understanding rather than pure memorization of equations and steps. My recent experience in a wide variety of Advanced Placement courses lends me insight to recent changes in course objectives and exam formatting.
Taariq
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +30 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Duke University, where I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 2014. I am primarily a math tutor but I also enjoy teaching chemistry and physics. Math was always my favorite subject in high school and I continued my love of math at Duke. I have also been a middle school and high school tutor throughout my time at Duke through the Program in Education. One of my crowning achievements at Duke was winning the DT Stallings Award, which is awarded to a Duke senior who has shown sustained and dedicated service to tutoring local school children. When I am tutoring a student, I prefer a very hands-on approach. I love working out problems with my students after working through an example problem completely. By working problems out with my students, I am able to help them if and when they get stuck. I hope to convey to every student the ability to think logically and persevere when things seem difficult.
Tammy
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +33 Subjects
I'm graduating from medical school at Duke University this summer and finally have quite a bit of flexible time to tutor, something I really enjoyed doing all throughout college. Hobbies: reading, cooking, music, art, books, writing
Katherine
Calculus Tutor • +42 Subjects
I am willing to help a student reach higher grades, but more important to me than the grade is that the student is actually getting something out of what we are doing, and truly learning, not just retaining information, but engaging with the material and enjoying what they are learning. I firmly believe that hard work pays off, and with the right encouragement and help, a student can achieve anything they set their mind to. You're never to old to learn something new, and the doorways opened by education are endless. Hobbies: travel, reading, music, writing, art, books, traveling, photography
Ify
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +38 Subjects
I am open to helping any student of any age with nearly any subject (math, reading, writing, biology, chemistry, economics, civics, Spanish etc). I'm also happy to help with test prep (hello SAT and ACT takers), as well as college application assistance. I'm a strong believer in a patient, non-judgmental, non-intimidating approach to tutoring, and I really try to prioritize the comfort of my students. As someone who has used tutoring myself in some of my harder classes in college, I understand that not everything comes easily to everyone, so I want all of my students to feel comfortable asking any and all questions they might have, or going over a topic as many times as needed to understand it. I'm all about friendly, humble service!
Renee
Calculus Tutor • +36 Subjects
I am a PhD student in Literature at Duke University. I have been tutoring (and directing tutoring programs) for years and am looking forward to working with you to meet your goals! I have spent nearly every year since college tutoring in some capacity, including as a volunteer through my current church. I enjoy the challenge of discerning the best way for each particular student to understand and absorb information, and am always thrilled to see when they regain their confidence in their own abilities. Hobbies: books, hiking, travel, reading, music, swimming, writing, painting, art, movies

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Jacksonville's 36 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in Onslow County Schools or another district in the area, we match them with tutors who understand North Carolina's curriculum standards and can help them succeed academically.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus on the specific gaps in a student's understanding relative to North Carolina's academic standards. Rather than keeping pace with a classroom of 16+ students, tutors can slow down on challenging concepts, provide targeted practice, and ensure students master the skills they need to progress—whether that's in math, reading, science, or other core subjects.
Students in Jacksonville most commonly seek help with math and reading comprehension, especially as they transition between grade levels. We also work with students preparing for standardized tests like the EOG (End of Grade) exams and those needing support in science and social studies. Every student's needs are different, so tutors create customized lesson plans based on individual learning goals.
The first session focuses on getting to know your student—their learning style, current academic challenges, and goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands, identify specific areas needing support, and develop a personalized plan moving forward. This foundation ensures that every session after that is targeted and productive.
Many students show noticeable progress within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, the student's starting point, and how frequently they meet with their tutor. Regular sessions combined with practice between meetings accelerate results. We recommend discussing realistic expectations with your tutor based on your student's specific situation.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and teaching experience. Many hold degrees in their subject areas or have classroom teaching backgrounds. Each tutor is carefully matched to your student's needs, and you can discuss their specific qualifications and experience when getting started.
Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and how frequently your student meets with their tutor. We work with families to find flexible scheduling and pricing options that fit their budget. Contact us to discuss your student's needs, and we can provide transparent pricing for personalized instruction.
Getting started is straightforward—tell us about your student's academic goals and challenges, and we'll match them with a qualified tutor who's a good fit. Once matched, you can schedule sessions at times that work for your family. Most families see the value in starting with consistent weekly sessions to build momentum.
