Manjeet
ACT Math Tutor • +16 Subjects
I have always enjoyed teaching students various subjects. I particularly enjoy seeing the response when the student truly understands the topic. I like to focus on finding ways to make sure the student UNDERSTANDS the topic rather than simply learning to memorize the facts. I find that they are always able to retain the knowledge more that way.I especially focus on teaching students to focus on reaching their long term goals in addition to just learning the material needed at the moment.I graduated from Purdue University with a BSEE degree and have worked at Motorola in technical roles as well as an Engineering manager where I managed and mentored junior engineers. I have taught all the subjects and test prep to my daughters throughout their education as well.I thoroughly enjoy working with students and can't wait to help more people reach their potentials.
John
Anatomy Tutor • +6 Subjects
I am a retired orthopedic surgeon who had been in clinical practice for close to 40 years before retiring. I did my undergraduate training at the University of Southern California (go Trojans) graduating with a BS in Biology. I attended the Georgetown University School of Medicine and went on to specialty training in Orthopedic Surgery at UC San Francisco finishing up with the United States Army Medical Corp with the rank of Major. I have been practicing orthopedic surgery since then until retirement. In surgery, there has always been the saying "see one, do one, TEACH one. Education has always been important in my family; and all four of my kids are graduates of the UC system. They all experienced the trials and tribulations of SATs, National Merit, AP courses, etc. In my spare time I have built lifted off-road four wheel drive vehicles, every desktop computer we have owned from components, have mastered unusual computer programs such as AutoCad, and have welded together a utility trailer that even passed California inspection. I plan to learn a musical instrument. The big advantage I would have in the subject matter of human anatomy, biology and physiology is the fact that there is no closer proximity to the subject matter than having actually working on the anatomy when the anatomy is still alive.
Amy
Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +37 Subjects
Ever since playing "the math game" on long road trips, when my dad would quiz me on the multiplication table, I have had a passion for learning and for making learning enjoyable and even fun. As a tutor, I hope to share my love for math and science with my students. I have an approachable, easygoing demeanor and I like working with others. I also consider myself to be very well organized.I am an Atlanta native who just recently moved back to Georgia after graduating magna cum laude from Wellesley College. I was a dual magnet student in math/science and performing arts at North Springs Charter High School in Sandy Springs. While at Wellesley, I was a statistics teaching assistant for two years. I collaborated with professors to design innovative teaching strategies for students to remember and understand mathematical concepts and worked both individually with students and in small groups. I also was actively involved in Science Outreach and a founding member of SLAM DUNK (Science Learning and Mentoring, Discovering and Understanding New Knowledge), a group that partnered with the Science Club for Girls. I was part of a team that mentored middle school students to apply their passion for sports into learning more about biomechanics and anatomy. During my senior year, I completed a year-long independent study project developing and implementing an exercise physiology curriculum for middle school girls. Learning was very active and hands on. One of the primary goals of my teaching style is to try to go beyond the textbook and create analogies that help to make difficult material less abstract.I aspire to be a physical therapist since I will be able to combine my love for running and sports with my academic interest in science. Also, as a physical therapist, I will continue to educate others by teaching patients exercises to rebuild strength.I look forward to tutoring future students and learning more about their interests, learning styles and goals. I will adjust my method of teaching accordingly and look forward to the opportunity to help a student master their desired subject. Not only do I believe that a student will make gains from being tutored, I will be more fulfilled, as I truly enjoy interacting with and helping others.
Andrea
Algebra Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am fascinated by all things science, and I especially have a passion for math and physics. I earned a B.S. in both General Physics and Applied Math from San Diego State University and have a very enthusiastic and innovative outlook on learning. I'm looking to earn my Ph.D. in Physics starting in the Fall of 2015 and have been tutoring for five years at all levels. I love both math and physics and can tutor a range of math subjects as well as physics; I especially enjoy tutoring high school physics. Tutoring should be a two way street of communication and aimed at helping the student in the best way possible, since each student is unique. I feel that building a professional relationship in which the student is fully comfortable with the tutor builds the best foundation for learning, and my philosophy supports mutual respect. I like to employ a back and forth of questions that triggers the student to learn intrinsically, leading to higher retention rather than merely providing the answers. My teaching philosophy also focuses on test taking strategies and reasoning that compliments the subject leading to a very well rounded individual. I didn't always have the most motivating and passionate teachers, so it took time for me to discover my passion on my own. Hopefully as a tutor I can be the inspiration for young students to pursue the sciences early on in their careers.

Mark
ACT Math Tutor • +34 Subjects
I am a graduate of Califonria Lutheran University. I got my bachelor of science in mathematics. I seek to show students that mathematics isn't as droll and difficult as they make it out to be. Math can be fun and enjoyable once one understands what all the symbols represent and that the maths can be used to help in real life situations. However I understand that some people just can't find math fun and in that case I make sure to make the learning process as easy and smooth as possible. I teach my tutees by taking what topic they are learning and defining it in easy to understand terms for better learning. After that I tend to ask them a lot of questions to test their comprehension of the topic.I enjoy games and a good sense of humor. I always like a good joke whether it be math related or not. During my free time, I love to play board games and tabletop games with my friends. But when it comes down to it I just really love mathematics and teaching it to others.
Kurt
Astronomy Tutor • +25 Subjects
I have always used the philosophy that anything worth doing, is worth doing right. This is also very true in the learning process. Some content may be difficult to understand, but with effort and persistence, it can and will get done.I currently hold a professional secondary teaching certificate which allows me to teach/tutor grades 7-12 in all sciences. I really enjoy the earth sciences and physical sciences. I think that there are tons of examples that we can observe in the world around us everyday.I enjoy being outdoors, especially on the water. I love summer time and try to get outside as much as possible.
Samuel
SAT Reading Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Bard College, where I studied Written Arts and Arabic. I wrote a 70,000 word novel as my senior thesis, and I am now attempting to have it published. I love cooking, and in the past I worked as a cook in a restaurant. I also worked as manual laborer for a landscape company, but, unfortunately, that did not lead to a love of gardening. I am an avid reader of all genres, and I love movies and TV as well. I love to travel , and I love languages, although my fluency in anything but English is questionable.
Emma
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +30 Subjects
As someone who considers themselves a lifelong learner, I am passionate about learning new concepts, and I am motivated to share this attitude with my students!I graduated from Indiana University Bloomington in 2017 with a BA in Speech-Language Pathology and a minor in Psychology, and in 2020 with an MA in Speech-Language Pathology.In the future, I plan to serve as a Speech-Language Pathologist in an urban school district with students who come from diverse ethnic backgrounds and SES.As a student pursuing Speech-Language Pathology, I have had extensive experience in teaching individuals from ages 4 to 80 by providing speech therapy and have become an expert in tailoring my teaching style to best meet the needs of my students.I have served as a graduate clinician in several elementary schools, where I have provided speech therapy (e.g. reading groups, targeting narrative retell, grammatical concepts, phonological awareness, core language, social skills, study skills, organization, etc.) in small group settings. Additionally, I have worked as a graduate teaching assistant in Indiana University's American Sign Language Department, where I co-taught American Sign Language with Deaf professors and provided office hours for undergraduate students. I have also worked alongside special education teachers, general education teachers, and paraprofessionals to design language-enriching curriculum in a summer camp setting for elementary school students with special needs, and served as a camp leader as well.Subjects I tutor include Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Algebra 2, PSAT Critical Reading, PSAT Mathematics, PSAT Writing Skills, Psychology, Elementary School English, English Grammar and Syntax, Elementary School Reading, Elementary School Writing, Elementary School Science, Essay Editing, Finite Mathematics, Science, Special Education, Study Skills and Organization. I also provide preparation for SAT and GRE exams, as well as the PRAXIS Speech-Language Pathology exam.As a tutor, my philosophy is to serve as a guide to aid students in discovering concepts for themselves. I break complicated problems into smaller, more manageable problems and always start with simpler concepts and ensure my student has mastered them before moving on to more complicated ones. I am constantly assessing how the student is understanding the lesson by asking comprehension questions and adapting my teaching style to better suit the student's needs. I also make use of technology and multimedia to maximize efficiency of my tutoring sessions and students' success.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Hoboken's 4 school districts and serves the full range of students in the city's 16 schools. Whether your student attends a public, charter, or private school in Hoboken, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and New Jersey academic standards they're working toward.
Tutors working with Hoboken students are familiar with New Jersey's learning standards and can target instruction to help students master grade-level expectations in math, reading, science, and other core subjects. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, students get support tailored to their specific gaps and learning pace—something that's harder to achieve in Hoboken's average classroom size of 12.2 students per teacher.
Students in Hoboken commonly seek tutoring in math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, and standardized test prep for the SAT and ACT. We also see strong demand for foreign language support—particularly Spanish—and help with writing skills across grade levels. The specific needs vary by student, which is why personalized instruction works so well.
The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals—whether that's improving a grade, preparing for a test, or building confidence in a subject. The tutor will ask questions about what's challenging, review recent schoolwork, and create a personalized plan. Most students leave the first session with a clear sense of direction and momentum.
Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions—we work with families to find options that fit their budget. Many Hoboken families find that investing in targeted tutoring prevents the need for more intensive intervention later and often leads to improved grades and test scores. We're happy to discuss pricing options during an initial conversation about your student's needs.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and proven teaching ability. Many tutors have education degrees, professional teaching experience, or advanced degrees in their subject areas. Each tutor is selected based on their ability to work effectively with students and understand the academic standards and curriculum your student is learning.
Yes, we connect students with tutors experienced in standardized test prep, including SAT, ACT, and AP exam preparation. Personalized tutoring is particularly effective for test prep because tutors can focus on your student's specific weak areas—whether that's math problem-solving, reading speed, or content mastery—rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Start by telling us about your student's needs—their grade level, subject, and specific challenges. We'll match them with a tutor who's a good fit, and you can schedule a first session at a time that works for your family. The process is straightforward, and most families connect with their tutor within a few days of reaching out.
