Liz
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +40 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!

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +27 Subjects
I am a graduate of MIT. I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with minors in Management Science and Ancient and Medieval Studies. Since graduation, I have started my PhD at Georgia Tech in Operations Research. Throughout my career I have TA'd several math and computer science courses at the college level. I have also taught at summer programs for gifted middle school and high school students. I am passionate about tutoring kids in math and science because I think that a strong foundation in STEM at an early age can set the tone for their future. In my spare time I like to engage in athletics, and was a Division 1 rower in college. Hobbies: reading, swimming, writing, books, music, running, art

Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing
Mimi
Middle School Math Tutor • +31 Subjects
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
Nina
Statistics Graduate Level Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
Reid
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +35 Subjects
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.
Christopher
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +51 Subjects
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends. Hobbies: writing, art, books, reading, gardening, music

Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across the full spectrum of math, including arithmetic, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, statistics, and more specialized topics like linear algebra and differential equations. Whether you're building foundational skills or tackling advanced coursework, tutors work with students at every level to strengthen understanding and improve performance.
Expert tutors focus on helping students understand the 'why' behind mathematical concepts, not just the 'how.' Through personalized 1-on-1 instruction, tutors help you see patterns, make connections between topics, and develop problem-solving strategies that apply across different types of problems. This deeper understanding builds lasting skills and confidence, especially when facing new or unfamiliar math challenges.
Word problems are a common challenge because they require translating real-world situations into mathematical language. Tutors help break down this process by teaching you how to identify key information, choose the right approach, and set up equations strategically. With practice and guidance, you'll develop a system for tackling word problems systematically rather than feeling stuck at the start.
Math anxiety is real and common, and tutors are experienced in creating supportive environments where students can learn without pressure. Personalized instruction lets you work at your own pace, ask questions freely, and gradually build confidence through small wins and understanding. As concepts click into place, many students find their anxiety decreases naturally and their enjoyment of math grows.
Showing work isn't just about getting credit—it reveals your thinking process and makes it easier to catch mistakes. Tutors guide you in developing clear, organized work habits that help you and your teacher understand your reasoning. This practice also strengthens your problem-solving skills by forcing you to slow down and think through each step rather than rushing to an answer.
Multi-step equations require understanding the order of operations and how to work backwards systematically. Tutors break these problems into manageable pieces, helping you see the structure and develop a strategy before diving in. You'll learn to recognize patterns in different types of equations, which makes solving them feel less overwhelming and more like following a logical process.
Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand different curriculum approaches and can align instruction with what you're learning in class. Whether your school uses a traditional or more progressive approach, tutors work with you to build understanding in ways that connect directly to your coursework and help you succeed on your class assessments.
