Michael

Calculus Tutor • +24 Subjects

I am currently a fourth year medical student at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and graduated Suma Cum Laude from Yeshiva College with a BA in Biology and Music. As a Writing Center tutor, I worked with undergraduate and graduate students looking to improve their writing, and have also tutored Regents-level biology and chemistry. Most recently, I tutored for Kaplan, teaching an MCAT preparatory course and working one-on-one with students. When not studying, I like to ride my bike, train Taekwondo, play blues guitar (or bass, or piano, or saxophone, or drums), and read a good book.

I currently work as a reader for the literary director of an Off-Broadway theatre company.

Johari

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +20 Subjects

I am an actor/composer/lyricist who loves to write new showtunes. Musical theatre is something I have grown to love, and the love, surprisingly, stems from my own devotion to cartoons and video games. But, make no mistake, while I can often be found watching an episode of Justice League, playing Smash, or giving the City of Angels score another listen, I will always put you first. Hobbies: art, reading, writing, books, music

Sherry

Middle School Math Tutor • +34 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, with a bachelor's degree in psychology and linguistics. Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree in speech-language pathology at Teachers College, Columbia University. In the past, I have worked as a teacher's aide in a public school classroom, a mentor to middle school girls, an instructor and tutor at the literacy education organization 826, and a summer camp counselor. I tutor a diverse range of subjects, and I find that I especially enjoy tutoring language arts, reading, and writing at all levels, from elementary school all the way up to college/grad school test prep. As a tutor, I am committed to helping students reach their full potential as learners. Throughout my years as an educator, I have seen firsthand the remarkable academic growth that can occur when tutors provide students with the individualized support that they need. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, journaling, and learning about other languages and cultures.

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.

Laura

College Algebra Tutor • +37 Subjects

I am a graduate of Princeton University, class of 2014. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with a focus on recent American economic history. I was a pre-med, molecular biology major for my first two years at Princeton, and while I ended up deciding not to pursue a career in the sciences, I took many science classes in high school (AP) and in college, and still enjoy these subjects. Since graduating from Princeton, I have moved to Manhattan where I have started a job as an analyst at a private equity firm. I tutored professionally in Princeton for three years, and am excited to continue working with students as a Varsity Tutors tutor. I have experience tutoring elementary school math, Algebra, Algebra II/Pre-calc, English literature, writing (esp. essay editing), Biology (including AP), Chemistry (including accelerated and AP), SAT, and French (through French III). My own educational experience has had a formative impact on my style as a tutor. I attended a Montessori school from pre-school through 8th grade, and was heavily influenced by the focus on independent learning, discovery, and exploration as a way to develop a more thorough and better understanding of academic subjects. I am passionate about making sure that students enjoy what they are learning, and I try to individualize tutor sessions to match the specific needs of each student. Both my parents are teachers (one a violin teacher and another a professor), which has also influenced my ability and desire to help students learn.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students across Mount Vernon's 20 schools and 2 school districts. With over 7,200 students in the area, we've built relationships with educators and families throughout the community to provide personalized tutoring support aligned with local curriculum standards.

New York has rigorous academic benchmarks, and our tutors are familiar with state learning standards and assessments like Regents exams. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps students master grade-level concepts, close learning gaps, and build the skills needed to succeed on New York State assessments and in their Mount Vernon classrooms.

Students in Mount Vernon typically seek help with math, English language arts, test preparation (SAT/ACT), and New York State Regents exams. We also work with students on algebra, geometry, chemistry, and writing skills—subjects that are critical for high school success and college readiness across both of Mount Vernon's school districts.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1 in Mount Vernon schools, classroom teachers manage significant student loads. Personalized tutoring provides the individualized attention that allows students to ask questions, work at their own pace, and receive targeted feedback—something that's harder to achieve in larger classroom settings.

Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's learning style, current strengths, and areas for growth. The tutor will ask about specific challenges your student faces in their Mount Vernon classroom, review relevant schoolwork, and create a personalized plan to help them succeed.

We work with families to find tutoring plans that fit their budgets and schedules. Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Contact us to discuss options for your student's needs—we're committed to making quality tutoring accessible to Mount Vernon families.

Tutors who work with students in Mount Vernon are subject experts with proven teaching experience. They understand New York's curriculum standards and know how to adapt their instruction to each student's learning style. All tutors are carefully selected to ensure they can help students achieve their academic goals.

We track progress through improved grades, stronger performance on assessments, and increased confidence in the classroom. Your tutor will communicate regularly about your student's development and adjust the tutoring plan as needed. Many Mount Vernon families see measurable progress within a few weeks of consistent tutoring.
