Straley

AP Statistics Tutor • +255 Subjects

I hold a Master's degree from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a Bachelor's degree from Johns Hopkins University. I tutored GED math for 3 years in college, so I have experience breaking down concepts for students with a variety of learning styles. I've also informally tutored other students in my math and science classes. My favorite part of working with students is seeing people's faces light up when they understand a tough concept. In my free time, I enjoy reading, walking, dancing, and listening to music.

Lorenzo

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +45 Subjects

I'm Lorenzo! I'm a rising senior at the University of Pennsylvania studying engineering and education. Teaching has been a lifelong passion and in school I am a part of multiple tutoring organizations in the Philadelphia area. I am passionate about math and science (especially computer science), as they form a basis of thinking that can help in every other subject. I also thoroughly enjoy teaching Writing, English, and History because their applications are so useful in the real world. Other than my abilities, I bring positive energy and attitude that is great for any student.

Sara

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects

I'm a rising sophomore at Columbia University, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. My journey as a tutor began in 10th grade when I ran volunteer tutoring labs in math, physics, and chemistry. I had classmates struggling with stoichiometry, peers needing an algebra refresher, or a group of panicked kids with a trigonometry test the next morning. With a wide range of needs and urgencies, I learned how to break down complex ideas into approachable steps, fill in gaps in their understanding, and tailor each session to meet individual needs. I've guided high schoolers through personalized ACT and SAT prep, sharing my tips/tricks and improving their current test-taking strategies. I completely understand that tough subjects can be overwhelming when one is confused; the learning journey typically leaves you confuzzled/frustrated. However, I'm here to clear the fog. I focus not just on getting the right answers, but on building real understanding. I'm prone to using odd analogies, clear explanations, and customized study strategies that meet students where they are. My goal is to make students feel confident in their knowledge and problem-solving strategy.

I have an MBA from Rice University and both real-world business experience and teaching experience. Most recently, I taught a first-year college course in Microeconomics for nine years, in addition to other classes in the university's international trade program. My students came from over 30 countries! I've worked in over a dozen countries for the U.S. Department of Commerce, as well as for private firms in building engineering and the energy industry. I enjoy helping students gain competence and master their chosen area of study.

Emily

Middle School Math Tutor • +65 Subjects

I am an Ivy-league graduate (Princeton summa cum laude) and an editor for an academic publishing press. I have years of experience teaching and mentoring at the university level (University of Notre Dame), and I've also tutored students in chemistry, math, the arts, and humanities from elementary school through high school. I've worked and lived in over seven different countries with international colleagues and I'm very understanding of different cultural backgrounds. I fell in love with teaching years ago while serving as a librarian for children and teens, and I enjoy working with students to reach their full potential.

Orne

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +14 Subjects

Hey! My name is Orne Akter and I am an undergraduate student at Harvard College under the majors of Neuroscience and Psychology! After 3 years of teaching Geometry and Algebra at my high school, I have picked up a passion for teaching students like myself! I can teach math (geometry, Algebra I/II, SAT math), English (SAT English, AP Lit/Lang, and general English courses). As I have just gotten through the college processes myself, I can also give deep insight into how the process works, strategies and tips I used to get into Harvard, and essay writing tips!

Stella

Middle School Math Tutor • +75 Subjects

I'm a current PhD student in the history department at Georgetown University who is also an experienced instructor with Varsity Tutors. As a recipient of several degrees, the most recent being a BA in history from Hillsdale College and a MA in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies from Stanford University, I have long sought to make teaching my profession. Meanwhile, as a volunteer grade school teacher and a tutor with this company, I have many years' experience helping students reach their full potential. I am capable of teaching students in many subjects, including reading, mathematics, test prep, Latin, and especially writing, history, and literature. In practice, I am comfortable adapting to different learning styles and specific student preferences. Outside of my academic and career endeavors, I enjoy cooking, reading, and listening to and making music.

Alexander

Middle School Math Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am a researcher who graduated with a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from Penn State University and a B.S. in applied physics from Columbia University. I have found great passion in teaching and mentoring students in physics and materials science, whether through informal educational training activities at the Discovery Space, assisting in laboratory classrooms for undergraduates, or helping students with difficult problem sets for thermodynamics or quantum mechanics. I've seen the best success when students can interact with a complicated concept in multiple ways and pull on their own experiences as metaphors to the system in question - after all, this is part of how science is actually done! Currently in my spare time, I enjoy reading, strategy games, and learning Mandarin.

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.
