Candy

ACT Math Tutor • +16 Subjects

I graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School and am currently a sophomore in the Cooper Union Civil Engineering major. I have taken Calculus 1 and Calculus 2. I have a strong foundation of Calculus since I joined an intensive Calculus program in City College in my junior year in high school and got a 5 in AP calculus AB in my senior year. The math course in Cooper Union is very challenging, but that's what motivate me to do better. I have developed strategies to break down math problems into smaller pieces for my students to help them understand fundamental concepts. The smaller pieces are simple, and once the students understand the concept, they can apply it to any math problem.

Eric

Abstract Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects

Coming from a large family with both parents and many siblings being teachers, one might say I was born a teacher. But one would be showing their need for tutoring in Biology! With highly educated parents, education to me was like water to a fish. My undergraduate work was in Physics and Math (BA) with graduate work in math, Theology, and educational leadership (M.Div., M.A. Ph.D.). My calling as an educator has been to promote life-long learning in areas of life that assist the learner in rising to new heights of understanding, productivity, and healthy relationships. Some seeming deviations from this calling have been becoming a pilot, playing a lot of golf, and running international schools in South America for a missionary organization. I am a relational teacher and leader, warmly personal, and a strong adherent to principle with clear personal values, I am an encourager, a good listener, and an effective communicator. I love kids(/all people) as evidenced by having 4 of my own with 10 grandchildren (so far)!

Alex

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +57 Subjects

My primary experience is in education: I majored in Classics (emphasis on both Latin and Greek) and obtained two masters degrees, one in Classics and the other in philosophy. I am also a certified secondary English teacher in Florida through the online TeacherReady program. I have 5 years experience teaching ESL, entry exams (including GMAT and ACT), and humanities (history, philosophy, literature, and creative writing) at the high-school and college levels. I am also interested in writing, both academically and creatively, and languages: I am fluent in French and Mandarin Chinese and can read Latin, German, and Greek. In my ideal job I serve as a medium to help people develop their interests and ideas; at the same time, I love having the opportunity to engage in in-depth discussions, brain-storming, and critical thinking. In the future, I hope to expand my skill-set to include STEM based subjects like math or computer science.

The good in life is inexhaustible.I wish to be a student the rest of my life, and I strive to share this conviction wherever I travel; as I am a born traveler: I have lived in New York City, Chicago, Honolulu, New Orleans, and Mexico City. There's much to be learned in the streets--rejoicing in them with their native peoples.I believe it is only education that can truly crystallize a purer vision of the world, so I pursue learning without end.

Lauren

Certified Reading Intervention Tutor • +23 Subjects

As an enthusiastic educator for 10 years, I thoroughly enjoy guiding my students to their highest potential. Coming up with new ideas to guide a multi-sensory and individualized learning experience is one of my favorite aspects of this field. I am a patient, caring, and understanding OG instructor and I find true joy in teaching/tutoring students of all ages.Before becoming a tutor, I studied Psychology at the College of Charleston and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in 2010. Through a reference from my Psychology of Conditioning and Learning Professor, I immediately began working as an ABA therapist. This led to my knowledge of the Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching. After taking the course and passing the practicum, I earned my associate level O-G accreditation. Tutoring following the O-G approach has shown to be highly successful as my students have made exceptional progress in reading, spelling, and writing. I look forward to meeting new students and guiding their progress as their tutor.

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.
