Hi! I am Jordy, a lover of learning and teaching!I am a Georgia Tech graduate with highest honors with a degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering. I have worked various jobs in industry and consulting with my most recent being with a company called Revenue Analytics based in Atlanta, GA. I recently left RA to pursue a passion in flying, so I am now working with ATP Flight School to become a professional pilot!I love to learn and grow my mind and knowledge- and love to share the process of learning with others! My preference is in-person tutoring as it provides the best setting to develop an effective tutoring relationship. I would love to help you or your child better understand and excel in a specific subject, but more importantly, help develop lifelong studying habits for the future!My Tutoring Maxim:1) Never stop learning.2) Struggling is the journey to learning.3) Not knowing what you're talking about is not cool.

Souhaila

Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects

I graduated from Arizona State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2015. While in college, I served as a Supplemental Instruction Leader for biology and chemistry. I enjoyed this experience and I found it very rewarding to help students achieve their goals and reach their potential. I have also served as a teaching assistant. My favorite subject to tutor is biology since I am able to draw on my research experience and provide more in-depth knowledge on the topic. In the fall, I will be matriculating at Duke University. I am excited to start work on my Master's in Biomedical Engineering. Outside of academia, I enjoy belly dancing, hiking, practicing yoga, playing volleyball and being outdoors.

Alexander

British Literature Tutor • +13 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Illinois with a Bachelors of Arts in Liberal Arts and Sciences with focus on literature and classics. I am also graduate of DePaul University with a Masters of Fine Arts with focus on screenwriting, where my thesis earned distinction. Since graduation, in 2020 no less, I have written several film and television pilots and have been apart of some pretty cool film projects in Montreal, New York, and Chicago. While I am able to tutor/work within many subjects, I am most passionate about literature (American, British, Russian, and the Classics) and writing and editing; if it be creative, academic, admission essays or just a run of the mill english paper. I'm passionate about these subjects because I believe that the power to make a difference starts with the written word; in understanding it and being able to pragmatically put it into use. No meaningful change can happen without the ability to properly articulate one's thoughts and feelings by way of the written word. And I try to instill that passion for the written word into each one of my students.

Dharmesh

ACT Prep Tutor • +27 Subjects

Hi! I am an enthusiastic, hard working sophomore at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI. I am studying Biomedical Engineering and aspire to become an oral surgeon. In my free time, you will find me at the gym, running, playing basketball, and lifting weights. I believe exercise to be a fantastic stress reliever and motivator. I have over 250 hours of tutoring experience and am excited to tutor students with their homework or with test preparation. I recognize education is the gateway to a better living, so rest assured, I will make every effort to teach students the concepts, so they can apply their knowledge to unique situations. In a world of increasing automation, it is critical students are versatile and can adapt to new situations on the fly. To that end, I will teach them how to solve a problem rather than state the solution to the problem. Often times, students use my guidance to arrive at the solution themselves. This gives students confidence and sharpens their understanding. I will also motivate my students whenever necessary to keep them excited about learning Chemistry or Calculus. Some concepts can be tedious to learn, so it is important to never lose sight of its real world application. I look forward to tutoring my students and helping them reach the next level! Please feel free to reach out!

College English Tutor • +9 Subjects

I am an intellectual property attorney. Some people may wonder why or how an attorney has time to tutor and my response is I make time. Helping others is a natural part of me, and I have focused on helping others since childhood. Throughout my schooling career, I have tutored and mentored students because I believe in the cliché: the children are our future. For me, nothing is more exciting than witnessing the moment when a child realizes that he or she is learning.I have a fun tutoring style, as I know how cumbersome it is to have to study a subject that either one does not enjoy or that does not come easy to him or her. Math tends to be the one subject I've noticed that students typically aren't excited about and typically have difficulty with, but I believe it is the most fun subject to tutor. I love to tutor elementary and middle school math and I help students with their writing. I look forward to helping your student!

I have a degree from the University of Michigan in Judaic studies, although I switched to that field from electrical engineering and computer science.I've loved teaching for a long time, and my favorite part has always been personalizing lessons and teaching styles for individual students. Everybody is different, and everybody has their own best way to learn. I make it my mission to find that most effective method for all of my students.Aside from tutoring, I like playing music, competitive fighting game tournaments, and game design.

ACCUPLACER Arithmetic Tutor • +15 Subjects

Hello,I am Abbey Sterner. I am a math major at Seton Hall University. I have a passion for math and want to help others. I think people struggle with math because it is not taught in an efficient manor and every one will learn in a different way. I found the way I learn and am able to adapt and help people find the way they best learn.

Jonathan

10th Grade Math Tutor • +51 Subjects

I first became passionate about math when I was in 1st grade and would race my friends through addition problems. Eventually, I felt I had mastered addition and moved on to subtraction and multiplication until I had basically finished the 3rd grade math curriculum by the time I got there. Since then, I have loved and excelled in math. So much so that I decided to major in Math during college and will graduate with a BA in Math in May 2015. I have taken all high school mathematics, all of calculus, linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, modern analysis, group and field theory, and number theory as well as classes in logic.I have had some formal tutoring experience with students in high school and some of my fellow students in college, and I have tutored many informally throughout my education. I really like helping people understand math and fall in love with it like I did. Whenever I was studying math, there was always an "Aha!" moment when something makes sense and clicks. I really like seeing that moment in my students eyes especially when they realize how cool math can be.

Christopher

Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects

I've been working with high school and college students professionally since 2004. I'm drawn to teaching students for two reasons. First, I enjoy seeing the reaction on their faces when they realize they're able to accomplish something they thought was impossible. Watching students succeed is a reward that never gets tiring.Second, I honestly enjoy working on the material personally. When I'm not teaching students how to solve math equations, I'll actually work on some in my free time. I have a collection of math puzzles, logic games, and crossword puzzles that I work on constantly. I never get tired of playing with numbers and words, and I like to bring that enthusiasm to my teaching.Outside of math and logic, I like to read. I love music -- playing and listening to it. And I always try to catch some good movies. Most of all, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially playing with my two kids.

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.
