Eric

College English Tutor • +43 Subjects

Teaching and learning have been important pursuits in my life for over twenty years. I believe strongly in the rewards and benefits of lifelong learning. I put this principle into practice by successfully completing a PhD in modern European history and by participating in educational pastimes, such as serving as a volunteer with my local historical societies. As a teacher I encourage and support the academic goals of all curious or hesitant learners. Pupils who begin to work with me can expect to enjoy their courses of study and to develop a love of learning. Whether working with students in elementary school or with college undergraduates, I always strive to make learning dynamic, vibrant and welcoming. My aim is to ensure that all students develop a confident mastery and an appreciation of their subject. Students will become eager to learn and they will carry this value with them throughout their academic life.

Zachary

AP Biology Tutor • +7 Subjects

I believe that one of the biggest flaws in education is the lack of intimacy between teachers and their pupils. Instead of teaching students en masse, a more optimal approach is to make each lesson fit for the particular student. I have carried out this philosophy while tutoring in the past and I intend to continue doing so in the present and in the future.

Pamala

Elementary School Tutor • +11 Subjects

The best years of my formal education was my first and second year of school. There I learned to decode words and spell. This was the foundation of my love for the English language. It is so important to have a foundation to build upon. This is the reason I tutor, to give students a foundation to build upon for a lifetime of learning. Learning should both be engaging and fun. As a writer and Poet I love the play of words that Poetry provides me. Equally important is the sound of reading. It is music to the ears of the listener.I attended the University of Louisville. During my time in graduate school, I once remarked that if I could earn a living learning, this would be the life for me. Most fortunately, I found teaching which has afforded me the opportunity to always be in arena of learning. Anything that I want to know is within my grasp. My formative years of schools have provided me the motivation to love learning and school. I want to impart this love to the students I tutor.

Harrison

AP Chemistry Tutor • +7 Subjects

My hometown is St. Charles, MO and I recently graduated from the University of Missouri with a BS in Chemistry. I was employed by the university as a science tutor for my last 2 years. I enjoy establishing relationships with people who are motivated to become better students and show a willingness to learn. My main subject is chemistry, but I am also able to tutor biology and mathematics. My tutoring methods are pretty straightforward -- I will do my best to explain material in a way that is easy to understand, but I will encourage students to work problems on their own to prove they have in fact learned the material.I have tutored 10 students individually and been evaluated as having "outstanding" knowledge, organization, communication skills, attitude and overall tutoring ability. They have said that "he is thoroughly helpful and explains concepts in great detail", he models "good study methods and strategies", and he "describes equations and provides tips to solve them faster on tests."While I may specialize in tutoring intro level college chemistry and high school chemistry, my main goal is to help students develop efficient study methods and time management skills that can be implemented in any class they take. Together, we can make science and math easier to understand. Let's get to it!

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.
