Dhruv

Elementary School Science Tutor • +18 Subjects

I am currently a student at New York University. Having lived in India for 9 years, my high school was at an International School, for which I was in the International Baccalaureate Program. My higher level classes were Economics, Biology, and English, while my standard level classes were mathematics, Spanish, and history. I Have great experience with the IB and am very familiar with the curriculum of the subjects that I took.I also have experience with SAT tutoring. Having been tutored myself for the SAT, I picked up on the various techniques required to bring up one's score. I was especially proficient in the english writing section.I was on the Varsity tennis team, played drums, and started an e-waste recycling initiative during my time in High School. Since joining NYU, my interests lie in Computer Science and Environmental Science. I am also a part of the Investment Analysis Group.I believe that education is imperative in any society. Having lived in India for the last 9 years of my life, I see it's importance even more. Teaching is easy, being a good teacher takes an entirely different level of care and understanding. I worked with underprivileged children of varying age groups. This allowed me to try varying approaches to see what teaching tactics work on who. I prefer to have a tailored approach for each student to maximize his or her potential.

LeVette

ACCUPLACER Prep Tutor • +37 Subjects

I am a proud graduate of Liberty University. There, I earned a Master of Arts in Leadership and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, with a focus on Healthcare Management. I have an endorsement in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). In addition, I received my Associate of Applied Science degree in Healthcare Management from Ashworth College. I believe learning does not have to stop in the traditional classroom. I have a broad background in Education, Business, and Healthcare that has given me the ability to explore and adapt to different avenues of teaching. My teaching experience is broken down as follows:Private school, 1-8Public school, K-5Online, PreK-12Online, University (ESL; Business; Healthcare)Technology allows me to teach and break down a wide range of topics to a multitude of learners worldwide in a way that fits their individual academic needs. Grammar, Phonics, Public Speaking, English, Writing, and Leadership are examples of topics I truly enjoy teaching. I also love to learn about and tutor Healthcare related subjects such as Medical Terminology. I worked and volunteered in the industry for nearly 10 years and have certifications in Medical Transcription, Electrocardiograph Technologies (EKG), and Nursing Assistant (CNA). Can you say, lifelong student? Along with formal training, I have more than 25 years of teaching experience which has given me the knowledge and skill sets to help students from many backgrounds thrive in their studies. My philosophy is simple. Everyone has the right to receive a good education. Learning won't always be easy, but the harder we work towards our goals, we can develop tools to lighten the load. I aim to help students reach an understanding of the context in learning spaces that interest them. We will achieve this through communication, mutual respect, hard work, and yes, fun!

John

ACCUPLACER Prep Tutor • +46 Subjects

I graduated magna cum laude from Franklin and Marshall College with a major in Physics and a minor in Chemistry. I work as a Research Scientist. Therefore, I have real life experience in what math enables us to do. A favorite slogan of mine is that math allows us to figure things out. For example, we can understand why it only takes about a group of about 20 people to get to a 50% probability that two people will have the same birthday. We can calculate the area of a triangle if we only know the lengths of its sides. I have been involved with tutoring math since 2000. One of my greatest joys is helping students develop to their full potential and achieve some important life goals. I was able to help a student pass her Praxis test in Math after failing about 10 times. She was planning to try one more time. And, with my help, she made it and became a certified teacher. Another student couldn't pass the military entrance exam, but succeeded after working with me. Math at higher levels becomes a struggle if there are holes in the mathematical concepts that came before. It is possible to gain mastery of math so that it is fun to do instead of being something to dread.I coached baseball while my two sons were growing up. I follow the Yankees, Eagles, and Penn State football. I do a variety of outdoor activities including: biking, hiking, gardening and playing recreational sports such as softball and tennis. The longest bike trip that I have taken was a two day 185 mile bike hike on the C & O canal tow path. Indoors, I play table tennis and like to read. I read biographies and histories of wars and I like to play the computer game called Shanghai. I enjoy reading Scientific American to keep up on the latest developments in science.

Nada

College English Tutor • +9 Subjects

Hello :) I am a graduate in the field of International Relations from the American University of Sharjah (AUS) in the United Arab Emirates, and I am currently pursuing my Masters of Public Policy at the University of Central Florida. With more than four years of experience in tutoring, I grew more passionate in teaching English, Academic Writing, and subjects related to Social Sciences (Political Science, Sociology, Anthropology, etc.). Working at the AUS Writing Center, I interacted with students from different fields and backgrounds to help improve their research, writing, and research skills. With my experience at the Al Thiqah Club for the Handicapped, I also taught students with disabilities the basics of the English language. I have also travelled to Nepal and Jordan to teach young students English communication skills. With that, I learned to have a flexible teaching approach, focusing mostly on the student's needs and ensuring that the student is comfortable with my teaching style.

Karishma

ACT Prep Tutor • +26 Subjects

I am very dedicated to helping students excel in school and in helping them develop study methods and styles that work best for them and that will serve them throughout school. I previously tutored with Boys Hope Girls Hope in Evanston, IL. I tutored middle and high school students in Spanish and English, and I was able to help them develop study strategies such as using flashcards or translating a sentence they had spoken aloud that day in their heads for extra language practice. I am very excited to be able to tutor again and to work with students. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a previously struggling student excel and to have helped them improve along the way.

Anna

Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am currently a junior at Georgia Southern University. I will be graduating in the Spring of 2022 with a Bachelors in Communication Studies. My first two years of college were spent going to McHenry County College (MCC) and getting my Associates in the Arts. While attending MCC I spent a lot of my time tutoring other students and children still in high school and below. While I tutor in a broad range of subjects, I am really passionate about English, and Public Speaking. In my experience, I find the most joy in seeing the improvement in students. I am fully aware that not every student is going to get an A. But when I see that a student is getting better, and their grade improves even in the slightest bit, I know that their brain in growing. I really believe that all education is important, even when the kids ask the question "when am I going to use this in the real world?", they just don't understand that we are helping their brains grow.

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.
