Joshua
Accounting Tutor • +126 Subjects
As a former teacher and a father of three children, I understand what is needed to get children and students to engage. It's the thrill of seeing a child "buy in" to learning that drives me and makes me stand apart from others. My goal is to help others find a way to achieve their goals. I have a rich background in education as well as 10 years experience working in corporate legal, specifically involved in legal research and e-discovery.
Michael
Algebra Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am currently enrolled as an undergraduate at Columbia University here in New York working towards a degree in biology.For my entire life, my goal has been to learn, and to take what I learn in the classroom and apply it in the real world. I am never satisfied with the easy answer (except for in a timed setting, where shortcuts can be your savior) and am constantly striving to learn new things. I have studied a diverse range of topics, from the hard sciences, to finance, and the arts, and have excelled. This is not because I am a genius. It is because I am truly interested in what I am studying and I have developed a practical system for studying and organizing. While you may shrug organizational skills off now as something only old people do, I have to tell you otherwise. As a twenty year old college student with a full plate, organization is one of the most important things to learn early on.I have worked as a tutor since the 9th grade, starting out with biology and chemistry, and later branching out to SAT prep and most other subjects. My philosophy is this: all students are able to excel at anything they set their minds to. The reason why some do while others struggle has more to do with poor studying habits or a different way of learning material that is not addressed by the teacher's methods. It is my job to diagnose what the problem is and to fix it. I have done this with great success in the past and will continue to do so.In my free time, I love to make films, start new projects, play the piano, read, and work with animals. I am currently working on a music startup as well as several apps with a friend from college. In short, I like to make things.Back to the most important thing; you. Just breathe. We will get through this together. At the end of the day, a string of bad test scores or that "C" in Geometry (ok, "D") is not going to dictate your success in life. Success lies within ourselves and not on pieces of paper.I look forward to working with each and every one of you.
Emma
AP U.S. Government & Politics Tutor • +13 Subjects
Hello! My name is Emma, and I am an educator in Madison, WI. I have experience teaching elementary and middle school, and I have years of experience working at a college admissions office. As an educator, I can help you become a stronger reader by digging deep into high-interest texts. As a former admissions employee, I know how to make your personal statement stand out from the other applicants. If you need help with learning a new language, I also have 6 years of experience learning French and 4 years of Spanish.When I was a student, school did not come easily to me. My love of learning and asking for help when I needed it most allowed me to succeed through receiving both a bachelors and my masters degree in multicultural education. In addition to teaching the content, I want to pass onto each of my students my passion for learning new things and a growth mindset. It's not "I can't do this", it's "I can't do this YET".

Zeinab
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +13 Subjects
My name is Zeinab, but I often go by Rose. I'm currently a travelling wildlife biologist and I am extremely passionate about my work, but have always had a side passion for teaching. As a lover of both academics and field work I take every opportunity I can to teach when not working my main profession, and I found that substitute teaching and tutoring fills the void while allowing me to continue my research during the busy seasons.I like to think I have a well-rounded education, especially in mathematics, language, and biology, and a reasonable teaching background. Not only have I been a tutor my whole adult life but I have worked with both children and adults in an academic setting for many years.Along with general teaching experience, I do possess about 4 years worth of experience as a substitute teacher in many districts in Michigan, and about 2 years as a professional tutor. I was quite well liked by both the staff and students, and truly enjoyed my time there.With my transcripts and resume I hope you find me a suitable candidate to teach with you!
Leah
Algebra Tutor • +34 Subjects
Math is an exciting and rewarding discipline. After getting my bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of Alabama in 2009, I taught and tutored arithmetic, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, calculus, and trigonometry through various venues including Manor College (2012-2013), Blueprint Schools Network (2015-2016), and Kumon Math and Reading Center (2017-present) as well as a few private middle schools. Mathematical proficiency is composed of two parts--procedural skill and logical reasoning.They are both important, since being quick and accurate with arithmetic can help one significantly with understanding the logical component of higher math. The best learning often comes with attempting a tough problem and discovering several approaches to solving it. Students that work through a problem until they "get stuck" are already learning a lot more than if they had never attempted it. I believe that tutors are the most helpful when the student has already struggled with a concept, because the tutor can hone in on the specifics. Math is a skill that gets better with practice, like sports or music. I keep my arithmetic skills sharp through tutoring at Kumon, and my higher math skills through self-study with my college textbooks and tutoring higher math students. I plan on getting a Master's in math in the near future. When I am not teaching, I am engaged in the domestic arts while singing or watching my nieces and nephew grow up.
Jordan
College English Tutor • +14 Subjects
I am a highly motivated and passionate teacher/tutor with absolute devotion to aiding students in their inspiring story. I was born and raised in Utah and have developed a deep background in the principles of creative writing, college-level writing, reading, and literature. I earned a BA in English with a Creative Writing Emphasis at Weber State University and have had some of my fictional work offered to be published in undergrad literary journals. Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree at Western Governor's University in Secondary English Education and have just finished all my coursework. This, along with over three years of experience working with students from diverse backgrounds, is the foundation of my commitment to helping out all my students. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about English, literature, creative writing and academic writing; and most importantly, inspiring students to develop a love for learning and always giving their best effort.

3rd Grade Tutor • +50 Subjects
I have been in the education field for over 15 years. I love assisting others of all ages in exploring and expanding their learning capacity, which in turn, enriches the quality of their lives. My biggest joy as a teacher is seeing someone come to a full understanding of a concept they could not grasp before. Helping the learner reach those "a-ha" moments is what a teacher does!

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.
