Spencer

AP Statistics Tutor • +57 Subjects

I developed a passion for teaching while I was living in Brazil where my friend and I had a blast teaching our students English while they made fun of our Portuguese (only at first... we got better). I come from a family of educators. My mom, my aunts, my uncle, and my grandparents teach every age group from pre-K to graduate school, so the pursuit of knowledge was always encouraged at my house. I was fortunate to be able to pursue a higher education and graduated from BYU with a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science. My favorite subjects to tutor are math, physics, English, and computer science related courses, though I enjoy tutoring almost any subject.

Felipe Fabricio

Physical Science Tutor • +18 Subjects

I have a deep passion for teaching and learning, and few things bring me more personal fulfillment than witnessing students grow, overcome challenges, and reach their goalsknowing I played a meaningful role in that journey is incredibly rewarding. My experience working with students began in high school, and over the past 15+ years, I've had the opportunity to tutor learners of all ages and backgrounds. This journey has taught me that consistent, open communication is key to understanding students' needs and adapting my teaching style to best support their success. I hold a bachelor's degree in Geophysics from the University of So Paulo, a master's in Physical Sciences from the University of Chicago, and a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from The Ohio State University. Throughout my academic journey, I've worked as a private tutor, contracted instructor, and teaching assistant (TA). These roles have given me extensive experience teaching a wide range of students across diverse learning environments and settings. I tutor in languages (Spanish, English, and Portuguese), mathematics, and sciences (physics and chemistry) at all levels. I find joy in teaching each subject for different reasons. Language tutoring allows for a uniquely personal connectionthrough conversation and cultural exchange, I learn as much from my students as they do from me. In contrast, teaching math and science is thrilling for the opportunity to spark curiosity and excitement in students, helping them unlock new ways of understanding the world. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with friends, playing video games, reading, and immersing myself in the artsespecially through visits to museums and galleries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Portuguese builds critical thinking and problem-solving skills that apply across academics and careers. A strong foundation in Portuguese opens doors to advanced coursework and prepares students for standardized tests.

Many students find that success in Portuguese boosts their confidence in related subjects too.

Common challenges include gaps from earlier material, difficulty with specific concepts, and trouble applying what's learned to new problems. These issues compound quickly in Portuguese because topics build on each other.

A tutor identifies exactly where you're stuck, fills in gaps, and gives you targeted practice until the concepts click. That 1-on-1 attention makes a big difference.

Look for someone with strong Portuguese knowledge who can explain concepts in multiple ways until you understand. Patience and the ability to adapt to your learning style matter as much as expertise.

Varsity Tutors vets all tutors through background checks, credential review, and teaching evaluation—so you can focus on finding the right personality and teaching approach fit.

For students who are struggling, stuck, or want to excel, tutoring often pays off in better grades, stronger test scores, and reduced stress. The 1-on-1 format lets you move at your own pace and focus on what you actually need.

Many students also develop better study habits that serve them in other subjects.

Most students benefit from 1-2 sessions per week. If you're significantly behind or have a major exam coming up, more frequent sessions can help you catch up faster.

Yes—both are core parts of tutoring. Tutors help you work through challenging homework problems while teaching the underlying concepts, so you're not just getting answers but actually learning.

For exams, tutors provide targeted review, practice problems, and test-taking strategies specific to Portuguese.
