Samuel

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am an undergraduate student at Harvard University! I am studying history and linguistics, and plan to teach English abroad for a few years post-graduation. Though I enjoy tutoring a wide range of subjects, I have the most experience helping students with their writing. I would love to help you improve your writing skills in general, or to look at specific essays or papers. I also enjoy tutoring English/ Language Arts more broadly, including ESL, and math. I do hold a TEFL certificate. I try to keep lessons with students interesting, because I think it's really hard to learn when you don't enjoy what you're learning! I hope to work with you to develop lesson plans that are curated to your goals and interests.

Natasha

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +50 Subjects

I'm a graduate student at MIT. I started tutoring from my first year of undergrad because I had such wonderful experiences when I was in high school learning with friends and upperclassmen. I am personally a social learner- I learn best when I'm talking and wrestling with concepts out loud and in a group. When I can express myself coherently, I know I have mastered the material. Hobbies: reading, music, writing, painting, art, books

Marisa

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a senior at MIT majoring in Writing with a specialization in Digital Media. I have also completed a minor in Business Management. As one of ten writing majors at a school full of people pursuing science and technology rather than humanities subjects, I have taken a default position as tutor for anyone struggling with any writing assignments. I have helped fellow college students on a wide variety assignments ranging from analytic papers on race in the media, to papers on scientific theories, to scholarship essays. In high school I was a Link Crew tutor for three years, making myself available for tutoring sessions after school for whatever subject students required help in. Hobbies: books, music, art, travel, reading, writing

I have founded my own business as a Productivity Coach, specializing in executive functioning and motivation. I also enjoy helping students learn with tutoring!

Theodora

Middle School Math Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a graduate of Emory University, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I then received a Master of Science from Johns Hopkins University where I focused on Biotechnology. I am currently pursuing my M.D. in Boston, MA. During my time in graduate school, I tutored middle school and high school students in science and math. I love tutoring science, especially health sciences as I am in school to become a physician. I also enjoy teaching math and I find it to be one of the most rewarding subjects to watch a student grow to understand. Throughout my academic career, I have taken the SAT, GRE, and MCAT so I am especially passionate about test preparation.

Vanessa

Calculus Tutor • +20 Subjects

I am a graduate of Harvard University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Social Studies with a focus in food policy and law. During my undergraduate studies I spent my time in political organizations and in research, teaching fellowships on political philosophy at Harvard Effective Altruism and serving as a Visiting Researcher in food policy at the University of Cambridge. After graduating, I spent time as a researcher in political science and history and mentored students working towards attending top schools in the US and UK, providing one-on-one help with applications and developing seminars on topics like Sociology and English. Most recently, I have started a non-profit organization in Ecuador focused on educating families about healthy cooking and providing nutritional assistance. At the same time, I am excited to continue pursuing my passion for teaching and helping students navigate subjects like History, English Literature, ESL, Spanish, and Standardized Tests like the ACT, AP, and IB tests. I believe that the knowledge young people receive in primary and secondary education is the ultimate individual enrichment; an essential part of understanding who they are and a key to seeing who they may become. In my spare time, I walk, read history books like Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals, and listen to music like Led Zeppelin and Lana del Rey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Lowell's 35 schools and all 4 school districts with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Lowell Public Schools district or another local system, we can match them with a tutor who understands their specific curriculum and academic needs.

Massachusetts has rigorous academic standards, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction is one of the most effective ways to help students master grade-level content. Tutors work with students on the specific skills tested in Massachusetts assessments, whether that's MCAS preparation, advanced math concepts, or writing proficiency. With a 11.8:1 student-teacher ratio in Lowell schools, tutoring provides the individualized attention students need to close gaps and excel.

Students in Lowell frequently seek tutoring in math, English/language arts, and test preparation for standardized assessments like the SAT and ACT. We also connect students with tutors for sciences, foreign languages, and AP/honors courses. The specific needs vary by grade level, but personalized instruction helps address both foundational skills and advanced coursework.

During the initial session, a tutor will assess your student's current level, discuss specific academic goals, and identify areas where personalized instruction will have the most impact. This might include reviewing recent classwork, understanding challenges with particular concepts, or discussing test preparation strategies. The tutor then creates a customized plan to help your student succeed.

Many students show noticeable progress within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring, especially in areas like homework completion and test scores. However, meaningful improvement in understanding and mastery typically develops over several months of regular sessions. The timeline depends on your student's starting point, the subject, and how frequently they meet with their tutor.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have subject expertise and experience teaching or tutoring in their areas. Tutors work with students across Lowell and beyond, and many have backgrounds in education, advanced degrees in their subject areas, or proven success helping students master challenging material. Each tutor is selected based on their ability to provide effective, personalized instruction.

Tutoring can be scheduled around your student's school day, extracurriculars, and family commitments. Whether your student needs sessions during the week after school, on weekends, or during school breaks, Varsity Tutors works to find times that fit. This flexibility makes it easier for Lowell students to get consistent support without adding stress to their schedules.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor qualifications, and the level of instruction needed. We offer flexible options to fit different budgets, and many families find that investing in personalized tutoring pays off through improved grades and test scores. Contact us to discuss your student's specific needs and get pricing information tailored to your situation.
