Karen M.

Elementary School English Tutor • +13 Subjects

I love kids and I love learning. I have both an undergrad and graduate degree in English Language and Creative Writing. I have taught E.S.L. for the last two years and have been working with children of all ages for nearly thirty years now, from my own private childcare business to homework help, and tutoring. I enjoy helping students take a subject that they struggle with and turn it into a subject they are interested in! I'm particually good with young children, but also do well with pre-teen, high school, and college level students. My favorite subjects to teach are reading, creative writing, and public speaking as these are my personal passions. It's important to me that my students also have fun! if they don't want to be in my classroom, they are less likely to absorb and remember. I like to incorporate their interests into my lesson plans as much as possible to keep things interesting!

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +11 Subjects

Teaching and Learning is my life's work. I enjoy helping learners become scholars and scholars become academics. My love for tutoring, teaching and learning comes from my experiences as a first generation college scholar and 15 years of experiences working with central-city and at-risk youth. From learners in primary grades to Adult-English Language Learners to first generation college scholars, my goal is to promote growth and empower my learners and scholars to achieve their academic goals. In my spare time, I enjoy reading historical fiction and informational material, blogs, editorials, articles etc. etc. etc. that enriches my life and expands my knowledge. I also enjoy attending Bodypump, Zumba and other group fitness classes, watching and attending collegiate and high school athletic events, playing lacrosse, pick-up basketball, coaching football and learning. I look forward to growing and learning with you!

I am a graduate of Clemson University, where I earned a Master of Science degree in Mathematics. I take a student centered and inquiry-based approach, and over the past 6 years, I have helped so many students achieve their academic goals. While I have experience tutoring middle school through college level mathematics, I am most passionate about Algebra and Calculus, where I try to emphasize the logical processes behind solution methods.

David

Algebra Tutor • +43 Subjects

Although formally trained in the biological sciences and in the art of medicine, I have amassed a strong base to be a successful educator. My prior experiences include over 10 years of teaching, tutoring, and educating over a wide range of both community and academic settings ranging from the collegiate to post-graduate level. I have highlighted some of these experiences in the following paragraph.During my undergraduate years, I worked as a TA in both the "Introduction to Biology" and "Biochemistry" courses, where I was responsible for both private and group tutoring. While earning my doctorate in Medical School, I employed myself as an MCAT tutor, providing educational tutoring as well as test-taking and time-management skills coaching. As a medical intern, one responsibility consisted of simultaneously directing the teaching of medical school students and outpatients coming to the various subspecialty clinics for educational workshops. During my post-graduate residency training, I was responsible for providing intraoperative education and scheduled lectures appropriate to the training level and interests of medical students and visiting residents.

Algebra Tutor • +8 Subjects

I am a Medical school graduate who is looking for tutor before starting my residency in July. I have worked with Princeton Review before I started medical school and tutored for the SAT Math, Verbal, and Writing sections. I enjoy teaching and find it a rewarding experience. As a medical student, I tutored underclassmen as well in various basic science subjects. Ever since I was in grade school myself, I enjoyed doing math problems and always found a fun way to work through them. Though I have not been certified to teach in an education system, I have plenty of experience teaching.When I don't have my head stuck in a medical school text book, I enjoy dancing, cooking, crafting and hiking. Growing up, I did well in school. Each new academic challenge was exciting and motivational. I've learned that hard work and determination can come a long ways, and sometimes when you hit a subject that you struggle with, it may be very discouraging. I wish to help those who find a certain subject harder than the rest and keep them from giving up and instead help them to finish school, find a job, and build a career.

Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a Senior at UC Berkeley, expecting to graduate next spring with a degree in Engineering Physics. Since I began tutoring, it has always been my philosophy to make sure the student understands a subject by breaking down concepts in the easiest way. My passion for the sciences drives me to not only teach what is on paper, but offer deeper insights to the material. I also love to laugh, and because of that, I try to make sessions light hearted, and less intimidating. Furthermore, as a problem solver, I will stop at nothing to ensure a student succeeds and fully understands a subject.

We all learn in different ways, and I love figuring out what makes the light bulb go on for individual students. I view my job as helping you achieve your goals in a way that's informed by how you grapple with facts, concepts and tests.I am a 2009 graduate of the University of Chicago in Statistics and Political Science. I have been a tutor for test prep (including ACT, SAT, LSAT and AP testing), academic and creative writing, and general academic assistance for three years.When I am not tutoring, I am doing data science for a start-up, playing basketball, or doing stand-up.

College English Tutor • +52 Subjects

Learning is about awakening curiosity, engagement and creativity. What a gift it is to enhance our capacities to express our views and arguments. For more than fifteen years, I have worked with students as a University teacher both in England and in New York, Chicago, Ann Arbor and California. We have developed writing, enhanced critical reading capacity, honed grammar and strengthened subject-based knowledge. Ask what connection a task has to your life and the things you care about as a way of awakening your interest. Let's focus on critical analysis and creative reflection along with basic skills and structure as a way to give your exams and essays a boost. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

Brooke

Algebra Tutor • +19 Subjects

Since graduating with my PhD in Nuclear Physics from the University of California, Davis in 2009, I have spent 7 years as a community college physics professor. As a community college graduate myself, I understand the challenges facing students and I am a passionate teacher. I am currently taking a year in Cambridge to complete a Master's degree in the Harvard Graduate School of Education to further improve my skills. As a tutor, physics is my favorite topic, but I am also enthusiastic about math as well as GRE test prep. From my experience in the classroom, I have discovered that it's very important to tailor the learning experience to each student. Every student is different and will benefit from varied methods. In general it's important to minimize lecturing and to give a student the opportunity to try and succeed at problems with gentle guidance. Outside of teaching, my interests are diverse. I enjoy reading, movies, CrossFit, theater, and dancing, specifically Salsa and Swing.

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.
