Clara

Algebra Tutor • +37 Subjects

I believe that education is the most effective way to empower an individual to live up to their full potential. In my mind, it truly is the greatest equalizer. As a Stanford graduate, I have experienced firsthand the opportunities that come with a world-class education. As a psychology major, I have spent years learning about the psychological and social barriers to learning and how these barriers can be overcome. As a tutor, I hope to apply the lessons I've learned and share the knowledge I have gained throughout the course of my education.In terms of my experience tutoring, I began tutoring community college students in math and science when I was in high school. At Stanford I continued my work as a private tutor, focusing in particular on high school math and science. In addition, the summer after my sophomore year at Stanford, I worked part-time as a psychology and chemistry tutor for Stanford students taking summer term courses.I look forward to continuing tutoring in the Philadelphia area.

Suzanne

Business Tutor • +18 Subjects

I recently graduated summa cum laud from Taylor University with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Philosophy. While there I tutored philosophy, political science, and religious studies students for two years. I am currently working on a Master of Arts in Philosophy at Georgia State University, where I serve as a teaching assistant and writing consultant. I currently tutor in the areas of test preparation, government, philosophy, and religious studies. My passion for education stems from the joy I find in helping students achieve their goals. My teaching style involves asking lots of strategic questions to help students discover answers for themselves, a process which my students typically find quite empowering. Still, I recognize that each student has unique needs, questions, and learning styles, so I strive to listen first and then craft individualized plans to meet each student's particular objectives. In my spare time I like to get outside hiking, playing soccer, or volunteering at my church's community garden. I also enjoy reading, watching football, and cooking.

Eve

College English Tutor • +41 Subjects

I have been a teacher all my life whether in the classroom or just in life. I love learning, and I am constantly seeking out new areas of interest, whether it's online courses or working on a new degree or taking up a new hobby. Interacting with students of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities always leads to that rewarding experience of helping someone learn something new. I'm always up for the challenges of teaching -- as a wise man once said, "There are as many kinds of intelligence as there are individuals"! Understanding each individual's unique learning process is the key that helps any student learn any subject.

Business Tutor • +17 Subjects

Learning is an ongoing process, and tutoring is the catalyst. In my opinion, tutoring andmentoring are two sides of the same coin. I have been in academia and in business for30+ years, working in Australia, New Zealand, Central Asia, Jamaica, China, Pakistanand in other parts of the world. My Undergraduate degree is in Economics, Graduatedegree is in Hospitality Management, and my PhD is in Curricular and InstructionalStudies.At present, I am teaching at the University of Akron's College of Business (AdvanceAccreditation Council Business Schools Programs), and School of Communication.These experiences have given me firsthand exposure to the emerging challenges andmolded my global approach in working with my students. I have learned that one of thebest methods to assess learning outcome (LO) is to first understand and identify theneeds of my students and focus on their strengths to motivate them. Students andtrainees (at all levels) have one common goal i.e., success in what they set out to do.Two basic questions that guide my teaching pedagogy are, how relevant is theknowledge of today for the graduates of tomorrow? And what do I need to do to workwith my students/mentees to create a trusting relationship?I look forward to working with my students to strengthen their confidence in publicspeaking, understanding marketing concepts and human resources practices, andinternational business. The process is often long and requires patience - there are nomagic bullets.

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.
