David
PhD Stanford University • PhD Amherst College
8+ Years Tutoring

My expertise is in classroom, small group, and one-on-one instruction in physics of the first year. I have, however, taught at all levels from non-science major courses through the graduate physics curriculum. My education includes a bachelor's degree in physics from Amherst College and a doctorate from Stanford University. During my career I spent time at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, the University of California, San Diego, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the California Institute of Technology, and Brandeis University, where I worked for nearly 40 years. I am a firm believer that students learn in STEM fields only by doing, not by merely listening. Thus the core of any tutoring experience with me is working on problems. The most formative experience a student can have is to work through a problem, explaining each step to the tutor as he or she goes through it. Only by explaining the concepts and skills to someone else can one be sure of his or her own understanding. My goal in any tutoring interaction is to assist the student in gaining the necessary skills, knowledge, and confidence to attack any conceivable problem set to him or her by a classroom teacher.

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Newton's 14 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a Newton public school or one of the area's private institutions, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.

Massachusetts has rigorous academic standards, and Newton's strong school district works to prepare students for success on state assessments and beyond. Personalized tutoring helps students master core concepts at their own pace, build confidence in challenging subjects, and develop the critical thinking skills emphasized in Massachusetts curriculum frameworks—all while complementing what they're learning in the classroom.

Newton students most commonly seek support in math (especially algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus), English/language arts, and sciences like chemistry and biology. We also work with students preparing for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, as well as those pursuing AP coursework. Whatever subject your student needs help with, Varsity Tutors can connect you with a qualified tutor.

Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and establish learning goals. The tutor will assess your student's current understanding, identify areas where they need the most support, and create a personalized plan moving forward. This foundation ensures that every subsequent session is focused and productive.

While Newton maintains a strong 10.3:1 student-teacher ratio compared to national averages, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring offers something unique: instruction tailored entirely to your student's learning style, pace, and goals. A tutor can spend full attention on your student's specific challenges, adjust explanations in real-time, and provide immediate feedback—something that's difficult to replicate in even well-resourced classroom settings.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families to create flexible arrangements that fit their budget and schedule—whether that's weekly sessions during the school year, intensive support before exams, or ongoing help with a challenging subject. Contact Varsity Tutors to discuss pricing options and get matched with a tutor.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and teaching experience. Many are certified teachers, subject matter experts, or experienced educators. All tutors are carefully selected to ensure they can deliver high-quality, personalized instruction that helps Newton students succeed.

Getting started is simple: contact Varsity Tutors and tell us about your student's needs, goals, and schedule. We'll match them with a tutor who's a great fit, and you can begin personalized instruction right away. Most families see their student gain confidence and momentum within the first few sessions.
