Samuel
AP Microeconomics Tutor • +13 Subjects
I believe that learning should be something that students want to do for themselves, and the teacher should give them material they are interested in to help them learn both facts and methods. As a history major, I know that there is more to history than simply facts and dates, and a teachers job is to help students learn skills like: analysis, writing, interpretation, debating, forming opinions, presenting, and discussion.While growing up, I had many different experiences that helped me develop this student centered approach to learning, namely; Boy Scouts of America, Phi Kappa Sigma social fraternity, and Phi Alpha Theta honors fraternity. While a member of the Boy Scouts of America, I achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. In order to achieve this rank, I was required to draft a proposal, get approval from the DNR, organize volunteers, and lead the project through to completion. Achieving the rank of Eagle Scout was something that I could not have done without intrinsically motivating myself, and helped teach me how to lead large groups of people, and projects. After heading to collage, and joining Phi Kappa Sigma, I was elected to the alumni relations chair, fundraising chair, and new member educator positions. Upon being elected into these positions, I did not have much guidance, due to years of the positions getting neglected, and I took up the task of revamping each role: our alumni relations are now among the best in the fraternity, internationally, we raised more money than the rest of my time as a member combined, and our new member process has been updated to acceptable under new institutional rules. Being a member of Phi Alpha Theta is also something that could not have been achieved without intrinsic motivation to do well in college.Although students need to intrinsically motivate themselves, they will not be able to succeed without the help of the teacher, who's job is to differentiate the instruction to best suit their students. The teacher should differentiate the instruction in such a way to allow students multiple opportunities to access all of the information.
Kenneth
Algebra Tutor • +10 Subjects
As an aspiring physician, I hope to make an everlasting impact on my communities through the skills I have acquired on this path. Medicine is an increasingly dynamic field that offers an environment for endless learning. I always knew that I wanted to pursue a career in medicine because of my curiosity, ability to listen and be empathetic, and my constant desire to help others whenever I could. I believe that tutoring and mentoring will help bolster these skills for me.I have a wide range of experiences as an individual passionate about numerous fields, spanning music and laboratory work. I received my bachelor of arts for Molecular Biology & Biochemistry and Music from Wesleyan University in May of 2019. As my resume indicates, I have been involved as a musical mentor, a peer tutor, biology teacher, and a course assistant for the university orchestra. These facilities have provided me the opportunity to develop skills as a meticulous and passionate individual apt for tutoring.
Micheal
Biology Tutor • +7 Subjects
Salutations! My name is Micheal and I have been a Science tutor since 2009. I believe people naturally excel at things they enjoy, for me that is teaching. Originally my work focused on assisting students with classes I had previously taken while attending Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts. I found an honest excitement helping an individual grapple and ultimately grasp complex subjects pertaining to Chemistry and Biology. There is a personal reward and a level of pride that comes with helping someone learn. This feeling pushed me to seek other teaching opportunities. During my final year in college I was hired as a tutor for Boston Global, a small company which helps recently immigrated students in handling course material. That was a unique experience because it helped develop a talent for connecting to students with whom I may have had little in common. After graduation I moved to Washington D.C. to work at a gene sequencing laboratory. During my time in the capitol I was employed by a tutor contractor which helped me find numerous high school and college level students to tutor. Now I am back home working at Massachusetts General Hospital and looking to continue my career as a tutor. My experience and talent lie in the sciences because put simply, I love Science. That love is evident in my work and in the past has helped me get other students excited about the subject, and with that excitement came good grades.

Ndeh
10th Grade Math Tutor • +37 Subjects
I am currently a Senior Chemistry major student at Howard University. I transferred from Prince George's Community college where I majored in General Education. While at school, I enrolled into the AVID tutoring program, STEM collegian and SIR student programs. Through these platforms, I was exposed to many activities of leadership and community service. The AVID tutoring program was most significant because, I was able to reach out to middle and high school students who needed help in math.My effectiveness as a tutor comes from my ability to communicate and listen attentively to each individual's needs. Given the fact that everyone has different levels of comprehension, I aim at understanding the specific area of weakness and strength for each individual. I then start from what you know and understand easily to what seems to be confusing or difficult to understand. I also make sure that as soon as a concept becomes clear, we move on to solve as many problems as possible relating to that concept for more understanding.I acquired most tutoring skills at PGCC and HU math labs (the schools I attended). The math labs were used primarily for helping students finish-up assignments on time, improve grades in math courses, prepare for math placement exams and get an overall understanding of any subject matter relating to math. At these labs, I did a work-study program and served as a volunteer for 20 hours every week. I helped college students get better grades, get a better understanding of the subject matter and complete their homework in a timely manner. My joy and satisfaction came from the feedback I got from students who would say "you helped me get an A on my exam" , "you helped me pass this class" and many students said "math isn't that hard." I specialize in tutoring the basic concepts/courses in math which I believe is the basis for getting a good grasp of the subject matter. I grew up loving math because I spend hours in my early years in school trying to understand the basic concepts and once I got a hold of certain concepts, it set a tone for higher level math and made it seem so easy. Easier than English. I love tutoring all Grade school courses in math and Pre/intermediate and college Algebra.

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.
