Vivian

Calculus Tutor • +65 Subjects

I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in violin performance at the Juilliard School. I have tutored privately and through Chegg Tutoring, Varsity Tutors, PrepExpert, and iLearn World throughout high school and college, with most of my experience being in standardized test prep and English. The most fulfilling moments that I have with my students are when I see them applying previous lessons and skills to new challenges. I believe that a good teacher not only helps a student tackle specific, formulaic kinds of questions, but also imparts the skills necessary for adapting to the diverse intellectual challenges that life presents. My goal is always for my students to leave their sessions having learned something that will be useful for years to come, not just on the next test that they are preparing for. After all, education is a lifelong process!

Samantha

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am currently a senior at the University of Pennsylvania studying cognitive neuroscience and philosophy. I have always loved learning and sharing my love for learning with others. For this reason, I have tutored throughout my time in high school and college. By working with students ranging in age from 5 to 20 years old, I realize that everyone learns in different ways. I am passionate about teaching in a way that works for each individual student. While I have experience tutoring in many subjects, I specialize in essay writing, particularly with personal statements and supplemental essays for college applications. I also specialize in resume writing. Still, I enjoy tutoring subjects like math, ranging from Pre-Algebra to Calculus 1, psychology, and English. For fun I enjoy reading, running, and listening to podcasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Art tutoring covers a wide range of disciplines including drawing, painting, sculpture, digital art, art history, and design principles. Whether you're interested in developing foundational skills like perspective and shading, exploring specific mediums like watercolor or charcoal, or preparing for AP Art and Design portfolios, tutors can tailor instruction to your interests and goals. Many students also seek help with art theory, composition, and critique skills to deepen their understanding of how art works.

Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who work with students at every skill level, from those picking up a pencil for the first time to advanced artists preparing for portfolio reviews or competitions. Tutors start by assessing where you are and building from there, whether that means mastering basic mark-making and observational drawing or refining advanced techniques. The personalized approach means you move at your own pace without feeling rushed or held back.

In a classroom setting, instruction typically follows a set curriculum and pace that works for most students but may not match your specific needs. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, tutors focus entirely on your goals—whether that's improving a particular skill, completing a portfolio, or exploring a specific style or medium. You get immediate feedback on your work, can ask questions without hesitation, and spend time on the areas that matter most to you, rather than moving on to the next lesson when the class does.

Yes. Many students work with tutors specifically to develop and refine portfolios for college applications, art school admissions, or scholarship competitions. Tutors can help you select your strongest pieces, understand what admissions programs are looking for, provide constructive feedback on your work, and guide you through improving pieces that need strengthening. They can also help you articulate your artistic vision and process, which is often just as important as the finished pieces themselves.

Yes. Tutors work with students pursuing AP Drawing, AP 2-D Design, and AP 3-D Design to develop strong portfolios and understand the AP scoring rubrics. This includes guidance on selecting works that demonstrate breadth, depth, and personal investigation—the three components AP graders evaluate. Tutors can provide targeted feedback on composition, technique, and conceptual strength, helping you present your best work and maximize your score.

Definitely. Whether you want to learn oil painting, digital illustration, sculpture, printmaking, or any other specific medium or technique, you can connect with tutors who specialize in those areas. Personalized instruction is especially valuable for hands-on skills because tutors can demonstrate techniques, watch you work, and give real-time adjustments to help you improve faster than you would on your own.

Yes. Tutors help students strengthen their understanding of art history for AP Art History exams, college coursework, or general enrichment. This includes learning about major movements, artists, works, and cultural contexts across different time periods and regions. Personalized tutoring helps you make connections between historical periods, understand why certain styles emerged, and develop the critical thinking skills needed to analyze and discuss art—whether for exams or class discussions.
