Alix

AP French Tutor • +8 Subjects

I am a French native from Paris and I moved to Cincinnati to continue my education. I obtained a Master’s Degree in Information and Communication from the University of Sorbonne, Paris. My education was completed with a Master’s degree in French literature at the University of Cincinnati. Generalist in French and francophone literature, my current interests involve teaching French as a second language and French American cross cultural differences. I worked as a French Adjunct in the Greater Cincinnati area for five years. During the past years at the University of Cincinnati, I developed a passion for teaching both language and culture to my students. I am mostly using the communicative method in the classroom and I am able to navigate in different styles of teaching. I also have the experience of teaching courses on-line. I just returned from Paris where I taught French at a vocational school for the past year where I am settling down permanently. In my spare time, I like to enjoy entrainments that Cincinnati has to offer; music events, arts shows, cooking….Alors, à bientôt !

Maykel

College English Tutor • +41 Subjects

I have spoken more than one language since I first started to talk. Very young I already knew what I wanted to do as a professional and that was being a language teacher. Languages are my passion and my goal is to transfer that passion to my students through lessons that will allow them not only to speak the language better but also to know much more about that language's culture. Let me help you expand your world!

Alex

College English Tutor • +9 Subjects

Quite simply my passion is literature: I hold two degrees in creative writing (a B.F.A. and an M.A.) and write poetry, fiction, critical essays, and creative non-fiction. While completing my masters from 2012-2014, I tutored students at my university's writing center. It was there that I discovered another of my passions: helping students who are eager to learn. My profoundly meaningful experience as a tutor led me to join Varsity after graduation.I believe in the importance of writing correctly, expressively, and effectively. Being able to express oneself precisely is vital for students of all disciplines, and indeed for all people who are involved in the difficult process of navigating human relationships. Achieving this precision, however, easier said than done. As a tutor, I am committed to helping students express themselves with as much creativity and uninhibitedness as possible while also staying true to the constraints of the English language. I believe that I am able to do this by employing the conversational method of pedagogy: asking questions, prodding students to push themselves creatively and intellectually, and attending to the details of their written work. By submitting ourselves to this process, we not only improve the quality of the essay, we improve as writers, thinkers, and communicators.

Timothy

AP Music Theory Tutor • +2 Subjects

I am a graduate of Central Michigan University with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education. I have worked as a classroom teacher (in Middle School and High School Choir as well as Elementary General Music) and a private lesson instructor of piano and voice. I also have extensive experience a performer on both of these instruments. I served for seven years as Musical Director at Pleasant Lake United Methodist Church where I learned to cultivate an ear for pianistic improvisation as well. My guiding philosophy as an educator is to give students the tools they need to achieve their own academic goals. As a tutor, I help students identify these goals and develop strategies to work towards them. This helps to foster an independence when it comes to academic achievement. This independence is essential for true success. I am available to tutor in the following subjects: Music, Music Theory and AP Music Theory.

Eriks

ACT Prep Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am a current student at Williams College double majoring in chemistry and Arabic studies concentrating in public health on a pre-med track. I speak English and Latvian fluently, and am learning Arabic and French. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but I especially enjoy tutoring in the sciences because I feel that introducing students to the sheer amount of what is possible in the sciences is an amazing opportunity. I feel that an introduction to science should be molded around a student's interests because teaching a student about something that they are already passionate about will always yield the best results. I am currently studying to become an EMT and enjoy being in the outdoors and tinkering.

As an ESL teacher, I provided students with academic support in all subjects. I know that each student has a unique set of talents, experiences, and interests. My goal as a tutor is to help students draw on their strengths, build confidence, and develop skills. As a tutor, I have worked with a diverse range of students on essay writing, test preparation, and homework help.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Trenton's 9 school districts with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Trenton Public Schools district or one of the surrounding districts, we can match them with a tutor who understands New Jersey's curriculum standards and can provide targeted help in their specific subject areas.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly effective for helping students master New Jersey's rigorous standards. With a 13.2:1 average student-teacher ratio in Trenton schools, many students benefit from the focused attention a tutor provides to fill gaps and accelerate learning in subjects like math, English language arts, and science. Tutors can align their instruction with your student's specific curriculum and state assessment requirements.

Students in Trenton seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, with strong demand for math (algebra, geometry, and test prep), English language arts, science, and standardized test preparation like the SAT and ACT. We also connect students with tutors for AP courses, New Jersey high school exit exams, and subject-specific support to meet grade-level expectations.

The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their current strengths, challenges, learning style, and specific goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically and discuss how personalized instruction can address gaps or accelerate progress. From there, you'll work together to create a tailored plan that fits your student's needs and your family's timeline.

Many students show noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, starting point, and frequency of sessions. Research on 1-on-1 instruction shows significant gains when students receive regular, focused support. Your tutor will track progress and adjust the approach as needed to keep your student moving forward.

Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who offer flexible scheduling to fit busy school days and extracurricular activities. Whether your student needs support after school, on weekends, or during the summer, we can find a tutor who works with your family's schedule.

We match students based on their specific subject needs, learning goals, and the tutor's expertise in that area. Tutors working with Trenton students are familiar with New Jersey's academic standards and can provide instruction that directly supports what students are learning in their classrooms. We take care of the matching process so you can focus on your student's progress.

We offer flexible tutoring options at various price points to meet different family budgets. The cost depends on factors like the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We recommend starting with a conversation about your needs and budget—we can help you find a tutoring plan that works for your family while providing the quality instruction your student deserves.
