I'm a big Boston Celtics fan and I speak three languages. I can get you the test results you need to succeed because I went through the exams myself and performed well.

I tutor in all subjects from French to Essay Writing and Algebra to Chemistry! I want my students and tutees to see the value in themselves and know that they can accomplish anything with determination and hard work! Realizing you can do it is half the battle and working hard to bring that dream to fruition is the other half! Hobbies: reading, music, writing, painting, art, books, photography

Mat

12th Grade math Tutor • +73 Subjects

I am currently a senior at the Stern School of Business at NYU, graduating this semester. I am majoring in Management and Finance with a minor in History. Professionally I aligned to Strategy Consulting overall, but have numerous interests in M&A, Private Equity, and Venture Capital. I have tutored peers and students for the past 7 years of my life and I have always assumed a role of a mentor, instead of being a simple tutor. Tutoring in general is a perfect means of passing down tips and experience gathered over years of schooling that help numerous students, no matter where they are. Outside of all of these aspectes, I am an avid traveler and have a huge passion to touch every little piece of the globe. The world's various cultures and people have lived a different subset of experiences than we have in our Western society. The ability to open one's perspective to these varying views and approaches to life is a key element of learning and such experiences are critical to everyone's development. In teaching I always include all of my perspectives and insights, no matter the subject. I look forward to working closely with all of you!

Tarif

12th Grade math Tutor • +75 Subjects

I am a fourth year Medical Student in the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education at CCNY. This is a seven year BS/MD program, so by the end of the seven years, I will have achieved both degrees. I have a lot of tutoring experience in the K-12 age especially in the 7-12 grade range. I have taught SAT, SHSAT, ACT, SAT subject tests and Regents exams as well. My favorite subject to tutor is math and biology, but I am able to tutor other subject areas like reading, writing, chemistry, and physics. My tutoring style is very student oriented with some lecturing. I make sure that most of the time I am asking questions, even if it is basic, just to get the student to always be on his/her feet. I also make sure to use a lot of diagrams and flow charts when teaching. Outside of school, I spend a lot of time exploring and doing photography. I also love listening to music, watching basketball, and spending time with friends and family. Hobbies: books, photography, writing, reading, music, art

Varuna

12th Grade math Tutor • +101 Subjects

I am from Tulsa, OK and came to Boston for college. I studied Biomedical Engineering at both Boston University during undergrad and Tufts University for my masters. After much thought, I deviated from a medical school track to pursue a career in the medical device industry. My love for math and science started around middle school, and I was strongly influenced by my teachers. Through tutoring, I hope to be a similar influence. I really enjoy working with students of all ages (elementary to grads!) In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, hiking, and volunteering at the Animal Rescue League in Boston. Hobbies: books, music, hiking, art, reading, cooking, writing

Frequently Asked Questions

High school students often struggle with managing increased workload across multiple subjects, adapting to different teaching styles, and balancing academics with extracurriculars. Many students also face challenges with time management, test anxiety, and understanding how to study effectively for different subjects. Additionally, the transition from middle school to high school can make it difficult for some students to ask for help or find the support they need to succeed.

In a classroom setting, teachers must pace instruction for 20-30 students with varying needs. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, tutors adapt their teaching directly to your learning style, identify specific knowledge gaps, and focus on the concepts you find most challenging. This targeted approach allows for deeper understanding, faster progress, and the ability to revisit difficult material without falling behind or holding back the group.

Excellent high school tutors understand the curriculum, have strong subject expertise, and—equally important—know how to explain complex concepts in ways that click for each student. They're patient, adaptable, and skilled at identifying the root cause of confusion rather than just providing answers. Great tutors also build confidence, help students develop better study habits and problem-solving strategies, and stay current with how high school curricula evolve across different grade levels and courses.

Results vary based on your starting point and commitment, but students typically see improvements in grades, test scores, understanding of key concepts, and study skills within a few weeks of consistent tutoring. Many students also gain confidence in asking questions, develop better organizational habits, and improve their ability to approach challenging material independently. The most significant gains happen when tutoring is paired with consistent practice and effort between sessions.

Tutors can support you in a single subject or across multiple subjects, depending on what works best for your needs. Some students benefit from deep focus in one challenging area like math or chemistry, while others prefer ongoing support across several classes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in your specific subjects, whether that's core academics like English and history, STEM subjects like biology and physics, or electives like foreign languages or AP courses.

Tutors help by diagnosing your strengths and weaknesses on standardized tests like the SAT (400-1600 scale) or ACT (1-36 scale), then targeting instruction on the specific skills and content you need to improve. They teach test-taking strategies, help you practice with official materials, build your confidence, and address test anxiety. With personalized prep, students often improve their scores more efficiently than with generic test prep books because the focus is on your particular gaps.

Start by telling Varsity Tutors about your specific needs—which subjects, what you're struggling with, and what outcomes matter to you. You'll get matched with an expert tutor who fits your goals and learning style. From there, you'll work together to create a personalized plan, set clear objectives, and begin sessions. Most students start seeing benefits within the first few sessions as the tutor learns your strengths and customizes instruction to help you succeed.
