10th Grade Reading Tutor • +68 Subjects
I am a recent cum laude graduate of Claremont McKenna College in Southern California, and this summer I will begin studying at Columbia University Teachers College in New York where I am working to earn my master's in Education for 7-12 English. I have worked as Head Consultant at my school's Center for Writing and Public Discourse for the past three years. I was a member of my school's Educational Task Force where I taught weekend seminars for high school students who were brave enough to come in on Saturday mornings. For these students (many of whom were the first in their families to apply to college), I provided college essay help and was the lead teacher for a semester-long photojournalism/spoken-word course. Last summer I worked at an educational nonprofit in New York to support educational workshops and help organize a College App Essay Bootcamp for 150 students. Two summers ago I was the Teaching Artist Cadre Development & High School Readiness Project Intern at an arts and literacy non-profit in Chicago called Changing Worlds. The next summer as Education Intern I taught, organized lesson plans, and created lending library for a preschool for homeless children in Washington D.C. I have studied French for nine years and have studied abroad twice - once in Brest, Bretagne and once at Universit de Vincennes Saint-Denis in Paris. For fun I love to write satire/humor for a website I created, write and perform spoken word poetry, and train for my next big running goal. I love helping students identify their strengths and build on them to become confident, successful, and happy studiers!

ACT English Tutor • +21 Subjects
I graduated from St. Ambrose University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Multimedia Journalism and Theatre along with a minor in Spanish. While in college, I was the editor of our college newspaper and the theatre e-newsletter, and I also tutored students in Spanish for a couple years. I've explored many aspects of journalism through professional TV, newspaper, and documentary internships and enhanced my Spanish-speaking skills by studying abroad in Costa Rica for a month. While tutoring, I believe it's important to be flexible and try a variety of approaches to a subject to find what works best for each student. I love hands-on activities and finding ways to make each subject relevant, fun, and engaging. I strongly encourage a thirst for knowledge and believe that education leads to greater appreciation of what life has to offer. To me, anything can be accomplished with hard work, organization, positivity, and collaboration.

I am a graduate of Arizona State University. I received a Bachelor of Science in Physics with a Minor in Chemistry with honors. I have tutored students of all ages, from the 7th grade all the way up through college level. I tutor a wide variety of math and physical sciences, but my particular passion is chemistry. I greatly enjoy helping students grow their confidence in the physical sciences, and hope to instill a passion for the STEM fields in students. I believe in safe learning and aspire to create a safe environment for students to learn, grow, and develop the skills that will help them in their future academic aspirations.

Learning is a two-way street, where we can gain only so much by ourselves. It is human nature to interact with one another, and gain from that experience something much more than what can be learned individually. It is for that reason that students need to interact with their learning, such as with a tutor, in order to better cement the content learned in school. I feel that I am qualified to guide students on that journey. I hold a master's in education from Grand Canyon University and a Bachelor of Arts in Education from Arizona State University. Experience in tutoring extends from being the Saturday school coordinator at my local high school, to working with at-risk students in a credit recovery setting at an online night school. Other than teaching and tutoring, I enjoy relaxing by spending time with my wife, playing video games, and cheering on the Green Bay Packers and Phoenix Suns.

“The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards," wrote Anatole France. This statement is an excellent introduction to my teaching philosophy. I believe that the fundamental responsibility and challenge in teaching is to transmit one's own enthusiasm and curiosity to students. In my experience, once students are curious and engaged, teaching is much more effective and enjoyable. I have found this to be successful in lecture, laboratory, and individual tutoring settings.I am currently an adjunct lecturer in the physics department at the College of Staten Island, and I am working on my Ph.D. in theoretical/mathematical physics from Kent State University (Kent, OH). I have been tutoring and assisting students in introductory-level physics courses since 2004, and I greatly enjoy the teaching aspect of graduate school. As a teaching assistant in both laboratory and lecture settings over the course of six years, my average overall rating from undergraduate evaluations is 4.37 (out of 5). In addition to teaching college students, I have mentored high school students working on science fair projects in the Washington, DC, area. I am a member of the American Physical Society and the New York Academy of Sciences.My primary tutoring interests are physics, mathematics, and SAT prep, and in the rare moments when I’m not teaching or working on my dissertation, I enjoy practicing yoga and playing music.

In order to pursue my passion for learning, I chose to study philosophy during my time at Colorado College. Philosophy gave me the critical thinking skills necessary to succeed in the wide variety of courses that made up my liberal arts education. Upon graduating, I used those skills to further pursue another passion of mine, rock climbing. I worked as a climbing guide, bringing people from all walks of life into my world and out of their comfort zones. I learned how to gently push people past their fears. I learned how to use a combination of encouragement and technical knowledge to help people reach their goals. I learned how to read people and find the roots of their struggles. Through this, I could discover the best way to approach each individual and create a plan of action that worked best for their unique needs. Through all of this, I learned of my passion for teaching. I went on to start tutoring students and combined both the critical thinking skills and technical knowledge from my degree in philosophy with the teaching skills that I learned from guiding climbing. I worked with students in a variety of subjects from math, to history, to writing. In every subject, I was able to help lead my students into developing their own critical thinking skills. I also encountered some of the same fear that I saw from people 100 feet up a rock face. I used my guiding experience to help one student overcome what had become a debilitating and illogical fear of math in order for her to pass a college placement test (which she had failed many times previously) so that she could go on to pursue her own passion of fashion design. Through all of my experiences, I have continued to pursue my passion for learning, and I hope to cultivate a similar passion in each of my students.

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.
