Pauline

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects

I am a PhD student at UT Southwestern Medical Center. I have received my Master's in Biotechnology at Johns Hopkins University and my Bachelor's in Biochemistry at Southern Methodist University. I've tutored middle school, high school, and college students in math (Algebra I & II, Geometry, Calculus I-II) and science (Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry). I have the most experience with and enjoy teaching Algebra I & II and Chemistry though. I grew up as a athlete myself (figure skater) and so am aware of the strenuous schedule student athletes have and work to be as flexible as I can with my own schedule so that I can accommodate these students.

I am a graduate from the University of Florida, University of Pennsylvania, and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I have graduated with scholarship honors in Chemical Engineering with a Bachelor of Sciences from University of Florida, Masters of Computer and Information Technology from UPenn, and a degree in Master of Business Administration from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I have been a private tutor and also a Teaching Assistant for my four years of study at the University of Florida. I teach various subjects ranging from math and the sciences to test prep such as the ACT. My favorite subject to teach is Chemistry because of my overall background in the field. I enjoy working with students of all ages from grade school to college. It makes me really happy when a student is finally able to comprehend a subject they found difficult before. I am very patient with my students and I will do everything in my power to give them the best education possible.

Alexander

Middle School Math Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am a researcher who graduated with a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from Penn State University and a B.S. in applied physics from Columbia University. I have found great passion in teaching and mentoring students in physics and materials science, whether through informal educational training activities at the Discovery Space, assisting in laboratory classrooms for undergraduates, or helping students with difficult problem sets for thermodynamics or quantum mechanics. I've seen the best success when students can interact with a complicated concept in multiple ways and pull on their own experiences as metaphors to the system in question - after all, this is part of how science is actually done! Currently in my spare time, I enjoy reading, strategy games, and learning Mandarin.

Benicio

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a current student of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where I am studying biology and Spanish primarily. I've tutored for many years under school programs in a variety of subjects, but I am most passionate about biology, math, and history. I like to use my personal experience in these subjects as a stepping stone to help those that I tutor. I find that a teacher's connection to the subject is valuable in forming a student's own connection and understanding.

Jarrod

AP Environmental Science Tutor • +48 Subjects

I am a graduate of Princeton University and Louisiana State University (LSU). I received an undergraduate degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Princeton and a Ph.D. in Biology from LSU. As part of my doctoral work, I completed all coursework for a Ph.D. minor in Experimental Statistics. I have more than 20 years of experience conducting research and teaching biology. I have worked as a research biologist with the US Forest Service and US Geological Survey and as a biology professor at the University of Puerto Rico and Eastern Kentucky University. For the past 8 years, I have taught biology at a public high school in Mississippi as well as at two local community colleges. I am passionate about biology, in particular ecology, environmental science and botany. As a teacher and tutor, I always focus on creating an environment that is student-centered and promotes student success. I feel that a solid background in science is essential for success in many careers, and I enjoy working with students to help them achieve their goals. In my free time, I like to spend time outside hiking, canoeing, and birdwatching.

Straley

AP Statistics Tutor • +255 Subjects

I hold a Master's degree from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a Bachelor's degree from Johns Hopkins University. I tutored GED math for 3 years in college, so I have experience breaking down concepts for students with a variety of learning styles. I've also informally tutored other students in my math and science classes. My favorite part of working with students is seeing people's faces light up when they understand a tough concept. In my free time, I enjoy reading, walking, dancing, and listening to music.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors offers personalized 1-on-1 instruction across a wide range of science disciplines, including Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Science, Anatomy, Physiology, and more. Whether your student is tackling general science in middle school, preparing for AP exams, or diving into specialized college-level coursework, our expert tutors can provide targeted support tailored to their specific curriculum and learning goals.

Science tutoring addresses the specific gaps in understanding that hold students back. Our expert tutors break down complex concepts into digestible explanations, work through challenging problems step-by-step, and help students build confidence in labs and on exams. With personalized instruction focused on your student's weak areas, they develop deeper mastery of the material and stronger problem-solving skills—both essential for grade improvement.

We work with students at all levels, from those just beginning to explore science in middle school through advanced college coursework and professional exam preparation. Whether your student needs foundational support in core concepts, help advancing to honors or AP-level science, or specialized tutoring for a challenging major, our expert tutors can meet them where they are and help them progress.

Absolutely. Our expert tutors help students prepare for standardized science exams including AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics, and others, as well as state assessments and college placement exams. They develop targeted study plans, review key concepts, work through practice problems, and help students build test-taking strategies so they can approach exam day with confidence.

In a classroom, teachers must move at a pace that works for the majority of students. With personalized tutoring, our expert tutors focus entirely on your student's learning style, pace, and specific challenges. They can spend as much time as needed on difficult concepts, skip material your student has already mastered, and adapt explanations until the material clicks—resulting in deeper understanding and faster progress.

Yes. Beyond conceptual understanding, our expert tutors can help students with lab report writing, data analysis, experimental design, and hands-on problem-solving skills. Whether your student needs support understanding what happened in a lab or developing stronger scientific communication skills, personalized tutoring covers the practical side of science learning.

Many students show noticeable improvement within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring as key concepts begin to click. However, the timeline depends on factors like the student's starting point, frequency of tutoring sessions, and how actively they engage with the material between sessions. Our expert tutors work with you to set realistic goals and track progress toward them.
