Loretta

Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects

I hold a BS degree from Vanderbilt University where I triple-majored in Special Education, Secondary Education and Mathematics. I also have a JD degree from Emory University School of Law. In between those two degrees, I spent a number of years teaching Math and Special Education in Ethiopia and in the United States. I also tutored various levels of mathematics privately and tutored all subjects and college test prep through a tutoring company. Finally, I have three children who are now in high school and college and have tutored them through all of their advanced content and advanced placement math courses. I am currently an attorney in private practice, but have not lost my love of learning and my love of teaching. Tutoring is now my outlet for those passions.

College English Tutor • +11 Subjects

I have a BA in English and Creative Writing from SUNY Binghamton and an MFA in writing from Sarah Lawrence College. For more than ten years, I have taught in higher education as well as in the New York City public school system. Currently, I teach writing and literature at Montclair State University and William Paterson University. I have also tutored extensively, both at Bloomfield College and privately, helping students to brainstorm, draft, research, revise, and edit their writing; as well as to be better readers and analysers of literature (non-fiction and all creative writing). In addition, I am a published short-story writer whose work has appeared in national journals (Lunchticket.org, 2015; Folio, Spring 2014; PIF, 2011); and I have strong ties to writing communities in NJ and NY. Writing requires patience, practice, and perseverance. I can greatly help you in this process.

Naama

ACT English Tutor • +38 Subjects

I'm a New York transplant to LA, and a freelance composer and musician by nature. I am an artist and a teacher-- these are my two passions! I'm also a translator, linguistics nerd, avid reader, and fabulous teacher. I went to NYU and studied Linguistics, and am continuing my studies for an Applied Linguistics Masters here in California.I have been teaching and tutoring for many years, since I started college. I've done private SAT Prep tutoring both here and in New York, as well as prep for other standardized tests such as the ISEE, SSAT, and HSPT. I also teach a bi-weekly SAT Prep course in Glendale, and an advanced Competition Math class for two age groups (6-8 and 9-12). It's a lot of fun! I've always found math pretty neat and like to get students interested in it too!I love to travel and have been fortunate enough to do a lot of it during my quarter-century on this planetRussia, all over Europe, the Middle East, Venezuela, Mexico, India, and pretty much every state in this country. You only live once, and I really do learn something new every day.Of all the jobs I've had while pursuing music and art, I've found that teaching is the one in which I have the most to offer and that gives me the most in return. I believe that confidence is the largest factor in success at anything, and preparation leads to confidence. This applies to the SAT test; it applies to performing a concert; it is universal. I want to help build confidence in others, too.

Bryan

Accounting Tutor • +11 Subjects

I completed my undergraduate education at the University of Wisconsin Madison and recently completed my master's degree in Accounting at Saint Joseph's College of Maine. I have worked for global corporations for (30) years and experienced firsthand the importance of accurate accounting, insightful results analysis and proper internal controls. I look forward to helping you realize how the accounting function a serious field of business in its own right can be a reliable and influential business partner in an organization.I enjoy tutoring students on general accounting, managerial accounting, cost accounting and financial reporting. I also enjoy coaching students on presentation skills and business writing - - also needed skills for accounting professionals. My teaching and tutoring philosophy is anchored by two primary objectives. First, I provide a conducive learning environment through contagious enthusiasm. The transactional technical details of accounting can be viewed as tedious. I thrive on the creativity needed to transform a false stereotype into subject matter that suddenly becomes relevant and rewarding. Second, I pair my creativity with my business experience which qualifies me to tie any accounting concept to a real-world example instantly. When I was in school, I pursued an accounting tutor which helped me transform my confusion and frustration to "aha" moments and established my appreciation for this important field of study.I enjoy reading, exercising and spending time with my wife and two children. I am an avid Packers football, Red Sox baseball and Celtics basketball fan. My favorite place to vacation is on the island of Maui and try to get to New York to see Broadway shows as often as possible.

Liz

ACT Prep Tutor • +42 Subjects

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

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.
