Amanda
Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects
My name is Amanda Pursel and I am a freshman at Shippensburg University this year. I am majoring in Elementary Education and minoring in Psychology. I have a love for working with kids and have been volunteering in classrooms since my junior year of high school. Senior year I spent every day after school in a first grade classroom with kids. On breaks from college, I work as a substitute aid in my school district at home and have helped over 40 kids with different subjects and things they struggle with. I aspire to become a successful first grade teacher one day, and maybe after that even an elementary school guidance counselor. I take working with students very seriously because I hope to make a difference in their lives and allow them to enjoy what they're learning.
Linda
3rd Grade Science Tutor • +27 Subjects
I am a licensed teacher with 15 years of classroom teaching experience. I am certified to teach grades 1 - 6 and high school English, and I also have certifications in AIG (Academically and Intellectually Gifted) and ESL (English as a Second Language). I received a BS degree in Elementary Education from UWM-Milwaukee and a Masters in Educational Leadership from National Louis University in Chicago, IL. Ever since I started teaching, I have been passionate in my commitment to maximizing individual student performance, inspiring students interest and instilling a sense of self-worth among all students. I have dedicated my career to each of these pursuits, as my resume will attest. In my personal life, I have two grown sons and a very spoiled mix breed dog. I have lived in Milwaukee all of my life but got a chance to experience living and working in another area - North Carolina - for several years. It's beautiful there. I enjoy traveling to places I've never been before and meeting new people; shopping; reading; basketball and attending sporting events. When time allows, I enjoy sewing and taking long walks.

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.
