Lauren

College English Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am currently an assistant English teacher living in Seville, Spain. I graduated from Colby College in May with a major in Education and American Studies and graduated with honors in both. I have lots of experience tutoring in schools and online and assistant teaching in different classrooms. I spent last summer tutoring 2 Spanish speaking children ages 10 and 11 in English. I was also hired by my college to be a remote tutor for a professor's kids ages 8 and 11 in all subjects. I also was a tutor and mentor for a 6th grade student at Waterville Maine Junior High and tutored her in all subjects as well (math, science, social studies, english). I am passionate about helping students who are struggling to learn online right now and I have lots of strategies and tricks for creating engaging and fun virtual tutoring sessions. I have always loved working with kids because I have four siblings and I also know how important it is for students to have online sessions with someone kind and encouraging.

Alan

ACT Math Tutor • +57 Subjects

Hello, my name is Alan, and I would love to help you in any areas in which I have expertise. I am adept at most any type of math and most any type of language. I do enjoy math, yet I love to read literature and to write.Learning is best when it is fun, and when it is adapted to the learner at hand. I am always interested in hearing what the learner is thinking because I think a lot can be learned from listening to how an individual is arriving at a given perspective.I taught for several years through an organization called Teach For America, and I later earned my master's in education from Harvard University. I was even able to earn a Teacher of the Year award for my school, my city, and then my county. But a lot more important than awards or degrees is that I genuinely have a good time working with students of all ages. Learning itself is fun, and there is often a lot of humor and reward along the way as well!If you think I might be of help to you, I look forward to hearing from you.

Chris

ACT Writing Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a rising senior at Emory University studying Quantitative Neuroscience with a minor in Spanish. I have been a tutor for Spanish, math, and chemistry since high school, where I was a coteacher for AP Spanish Literature and Culture during my junior year. My favorite subjects to tutor are Spanish and calculus--I love to show the visual side of math and the reasoning behind concepts in Spanish, such as the subjunctive. Too often, I think math is taught as theoretical concepts when it is also quite visual, and I've seen graphing approaches be very helpful for my students. Similarly, Spanish is sometimes taught via memorization, but there are many ways to simplify Spanish by learning how to think about it differently. I'm passionate about teaching students effective ways to learn and even appreciate these difficult subjects.

Christy

Conversational Spanish Tutor • +33 Subjects

I learned Spanish while living as an exchange student in Ecuador the year before I went to college (1989-1990). I became fluent during that time. I worked as an Assistant Teacher to the Spanish Department while studying at Davidson College and enjoyed getting to know the students & expanding their understanding of the Spanish language & the Latin American culture. I had the privilege of studying in Spain during my Junior year, which deepened my appreciation for the roots of the language. I worked as a Spanish/English interpreter for the Orange County courts as my Summer job during those years. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share what I learned.

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.
