Vania

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +36 Subjects

I am a senior at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Biomedical Devices and a Bachelor of Science in Music. I have tutored students from the elementary school level to my current peer group. I have experience tutoring through MIT's Seminar XL and Tutorial Services Room programs in core subjects required for graduation (general chemistry, physics, calculus, multivariable calculus, and biology). I have also tutored students in SAT exam preparation for the past three years. Knowledge is an equalizer, and I firmly believe in paying my knowledge forward. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but my main passions are physics and math. I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful physics professor who turned physics into a way of viewing the world around me with a renewed sense of curiosity. I enjoy being able to spark this love of physics in my students, and as a consequence also sparking a love in mathematics, a necessary companion to physics. I also enjoy helping students prepare for the SAT because it is a test where practice makes perfect. Seeing a student gain confidence and start growing in knowledge is a very satisfying experience. Outside of academics my extra-curriculars and hobbies include: classical piano, EMS, swimming, 3D printing, and medical devices.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a current PhD candidate in experimental geophysics at MIT. I have successfully tutored dozens of students for the GRE; these students report not only higher scores but deeper understanding of the material, even in areas they have struggled with for years. Many of my students have not taken relevant quantitative courses for years and have forgotten much of their fundamental math skills, but after working with me for a short time, they are able to achieve great GRE quantitative scores. Students also enjoy my approach to the verbal section, where we work on decoding the questions and narrowing answer choices based on the type of question. I focus on a strong understanding of the concepts being tested as well as on test-taking skills. After working together, all of my students feel more comfortable entering the exam and sure of their own abilities, and nearly all of my students end up meeting or exceeding their original score goals.

Adriana

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects

I'm an MIT undergrad studying Urban Planning. I loved math in science in school, but know that it can be frustrating and easy to dislike when taught in a way that is difficult to understand, or when it seems useless and pointless to learn. My goal is to get students not only to perform well in these subjects, but to fully comprehend and enjoy them.

Raymond

Calculus Tutor • +15 Subjects

I am a senior at Harvard College, who has tutored students in a variety of contexts while here, and back in high school. My area of focus is Chemistry and Chemical Biology, and I am comfortable teaching in most of the "hard" sciences. Plus, with a minor in Government (and my inherent nerdiness, tendency to go on Wikipedia binges, etc.) I am confident in my ability to offer instruction in related areas of the humanities, having done well in these courses as a student.

Middle School Math Tutor • +34 Subjects

I am a graduate of Dartmouth College, where I received a B.A. in Comparative Literature, with a focus on Spanish and Performance Studies. At Dartmouth, I T.A.'d Spanish classes for all 4 years using the Rassias method, an individualized approach that aims to build fluency by focusing on verb structure, syntax, and pronunciation. After graduating with Phi Beta Kappa honors, I moved to Boston where I worked at software company HubSpot, honing my tech abilities and using my teaching skills to give bilingual support to customers from around the globe. I primarily tutor in Spanish, but I am also passionate about history, literature, and middle- and early high- school math. In my free time, I enjoy writing plays, reading, cooking, and getting outdoors! Hobbies: reading, cooking, music, hiking, art, movies, outdoors, books, writing

I am currently a Computer Science major freshmen at MIT. I'm super passionate about math, physics, and computer science and love teaching other people! I think that while math, CS, and physics can certainly be abstract, the practical aspects of such topics can make learning both interesting and fulfilling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Cambridge has four school districts serving over 8,200 students across 30 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a Cambridge public school, charter school, or private institution, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and academic expectations in the area.

Massachusetts has rigorous state standards, and Cambridge schools align their curriculum accordingly. Tutors who work with Cambridge students are familiar with these expectations and can provide targeted support in areas like ELA, math, and science to help students master grade-level standards and prepare for state assessments. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly effective for closing gaps and building confidence in challenging subjects.

Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify specific learning goals. The tutor will assess your student's current level, discuss any academic challenges, and create a personalized plan tailored to their needs. This foundation helps ensure that every subsequent session builds directly toward measurable progress.

Cambridge students seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, with particularly strong demand for math, science, and English language arts at all grade levels. We also connect students with tutors for test preparation (SAT, ACT, AP exams), foreign language support, and help with advanced coursework. The specific needs vary by student, which is why personalized instruction is so valuable.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject expertise and teaching experience. Tutors working with Cambridge students understand the local academic environment and can adapt their instruction to match individual learning styles and goals. Each tutor is carefully selected to ensure they're a good fit for your student's needs.

Scheduling is highly flexible to fit your family's needs. Whether your student needs weekly sessions, intensive support before an exam, or help with a specific project, Varsity Tutors can arrange personalized instruction that works with your calendar. You can adjust frequency and timing as your student's needs change throughout the school year.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We offer flexible pricing options to fit different budgets, and we're happy to discuss what works best for your situation. Contact us for a personalized quote and to learn about any current offers for Cambridge families.

Progress looks different for each student—it might be improved grades, stronger test scores, increased confidence, or better understanding of difficult concepts. Your tutor will regularly communicate with you about what they're observing and can share specific examples of growth. Many Cambridge parents notice improvements within the first few weeks of consistent, personalized instruction.
