Chris
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +48 Subjects
I am a UCLA Bioengineer. I am a well qualified tutor and have had many years of experience in both paid and unpaid roles from 6th grade to 12 grade to present. I have always excelled in academics, math, writing, and english and have scored well on all standardized tests and state tests. I have scored 800/800 in SAT 1 math, SAT 2 math. I have scored 760/800 in SAT writing. I received scores of 5/5 in AP Calculus AB and BC and have taken numerous other APs, passing the APs in Physics, Biology, Literature, Language and Composition, Environmental Science, Economics, US history, and Chemistry. I was the President of my high school's only tutoring club and only math club, Infinity Math Club, where I dedicated my time tutoring struggling students in all math levels. I was a tutor in my high school's RAMS program for all academic subjects. I love working with students and love to see them succeed in subjects that they once struggled in.

I am interested in becoming involved in educational policy at the national level later on in my life. Teaching is a joy that has always rivaled the happiness I receive from reading a great poem or communicating in another language. English and French literature are the two great passions of my life, and it is when I'm teaching that I feel most like I am doing meaningful and rewarding work. When I'm not reading poetry or practicing my French, I like boogie-boarding (a recently acquired skill), hiking, baking (often French desserts), and knitting.
Keith
Calculus Tutor • +11 Subjects
I am a graduate from the Northwestern University School of Law and am in my fifth year of practicing law in California. I am originally from the Los Angeles area and attended UCLA for my undergraduate degree in political science. Since graduating law school, I worked at both a major law firm and a small law firm until I was appointed as an attorney for a federal judge (a.k.a. “law clerk” position). I primarily tutor clients for LSAT preparation. I scored in the 99th percentile when I took the LSAT exam, and have since refined my strategies that are crucial to a successful LSAT score. My ultimate goal is that my students will score even higher than I scored, and I look forward to observing the progress and success of each of my clients. In my free time, I like to spend time outdoors playing tennis, jogging, hiking, and meeting with friends. I also love to travel and appreciate the uniqueness that each city--much like each person--has to offer. I feel my easy going nature and curiosity for life will rub off on my clients, and possibly even help them enjoy the sometimes daunting experience of taking the LSAT. Hobbies: reading, music, hiking, art, travel, nature, outdoors, books, writing
Daniel
College Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects
I am currently working toward a MD at Loma Linda University. My tutoring experience includes mentoring Christian college students during a 2 year post-graduate program, helping primary school kids with homework in an after-school program, and tutoring my high school sister in various subjects. I enjoy tutoring subjects like English, Writing, Critical Reading, Math, and Science. My favorite subject to tutor is writing because I enjoy helping my students come up with ideas and synthesize them in an essay. In my tutoring sessions, I like to encourage my students to find their own solutions to problems, because I believe that the best learning results from self-discovery. My role as a tutor is that of a guide, one that leads the student on the right path to find the answer. I hope to not only impart understanding of the subject material, but also an appreciation for the subject to all my students. Outside of academics, my hobbies include going to church gatherings, running, and singing.
Shant
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a graduate from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychobiology with a minor in Geography and Environmental Studies. Throughout college I developed the ability to effectively communicate to a variety of demographics while simultaneously garnering skills in time management, course preparatory techniques, and teaching. Since graduating, I have been working with teens as a Health Educator at multiple high schools throughout Los Angeles. While I am capable of tutoring on a variety of subjects, my interest in practicing medicine bolsters my passion for tutoring in the sciences. I truly believe that creating a strong foundation during high school will ensure a smooth and successful transition into college. In my spare time, I enjoy finding alternative methods for enriching my health such as exercise, running, cycling, swimming, and researching new healthy recipes.

John
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I am most passionate about English, History, Math, and the SAT. I am fascinated by the SAT. I love teaching struggling test takers how to view the SAT as an approachable, accessible set of riddles and games instead of as an intellectual brick wall. I firmly believe that the majority of people can find great joy in academics once they discover the individual approach that works for them. I see it as my job to help them find that path. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, running, travel, and reading. I am also a section editor for the Los Angeles Review of Books and the literary manager for two theater companies based in New York and Los Angeles.
Raquel
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects
I am currently attending UCLA School of Dentistry. I have spent a big chunk of my life tutoring. I had 600 hours of volunteer experience tutoring 5th graders in language. I also was the Tutoring Head of the Science National Honor Society in high school and spent every week tutoring high school level biology and chemistry. I spent one summer working at Kumon tutoring children in basic math and reading. In college, I spent two years tutoring adults to pass their GED. I was also an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant (UTA) for a development and physiology biology class, as well as a Peer Tutor for other intro level biology classes. If you chose me as your tutor, I look forward to working with you and helping you be the best student you can be! Hobbies: cooking, music, art, books, writing, reading

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Pomona's 46 schools and all four school districts with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in the Pomona Unified, Chaffey Joint Union High, or other local districts, we can match them with a tutor who understands the specific curriculum and academic standards they're working with.
Pomona's average student-teacher ratio of 21.7:1 means many students don't get individualized attention in the classroom. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills that gap by giving your student dedicated focus on their specific learning needs, pacing, and questions—something that's difficult in larger classroom settings. This targeted approach helps students master challenging concepts and build confidence faster.
Tutors who work with students in Pomona are familiar with California's standards and expectations across grade levels and subjects. They can help students strengthen foundational skills, prepare for state assessments, and align their learning with grade-level benchmarks—whether that's mastering early literacy, building math fluency, or preparing for high school transitions.
The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals. They'll assess what's working well and where support is needed—whether that's catching up on missed concepts, preparing for a test, or building skills for the next grade level. This foundation helps create a personalized plan that actually works for your student.
Students in Pomona seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, with particularly high demand for math (especially algebra and geometry transitions), English language arts, science, and test prep for high school entrance exams and college readiness. Tutors also help students learning English as a second language and those needing support in advanced or AP courses.
Absolutely. Tutoring works best alongside classroom instruction—tutors can reinforce what students are learning in their Pomona schools, fill gaps in understanding, and provide extra practice on challenging topics. This partnership between school and tutoring helps students build stronger foundations and feel more confident participating in class.
Many students see improvement within a few weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject and how far behind they are. Tutors focus on identifying the root cause of struggles—whether it's a specific concept, study habits, or test anxiety—and address it directly. Regular sessions with a tutor who understands your student's learning style can help them catch up and regain confidence.
Getting started is straightforward: tell us about your student's grade level, subject needs, and goals. Varsity Tutors will match them with a tutor who fits their needs, and you can begin personalized instruction right away. Most families appreciate how quickly the process moves—from initial conversation to first tutoring session.
