Clara

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +31 Subjects

I am tutoring I tend to ask my students to try to "teach" me concepts they are struggling with, or walk me through a problem that is challenging them, so that any conceptual mistakes or assumptions they are making become clear. In addition, I am a firm believer in never providing the answer to a specific problem, but instead empowering students to work toward it by asking directed questions and teaching them to use their resources.

Justin

Calculus Tutor • +38 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Currently, I am in the master's program at the University of New Mexico where I am continuing my education in philosophy. Ultimately, I hope to go on to earn a PhD in Philosophy so that I can continue engaging in my passions for learning and teaching. While in school, I have spent countless hours coaching high school speech and debate both in person and working online with students across the country. My focus in coaching has been to emphasize philosophy and critical thought to prepare students to think through novel arguments on their own. I am passionate about teaching and tutoring because I love seeing students learn to be intellectually independent and think through problems on their own terms by developing their critical thinking skills. I have devoted my life to education because I am passionate about it, and I try to share some of my passion for learning with the students I work with. I tutor all sorts of Standardized Tests, and I particularly enjoy working on logic-based problems like analogies and math sections. When I am not tutoring or reading for school, I enjoy strategy games (both board games and video games), listening to music, hiking, playing basketball, and just relaxing with friends.

I am excited to be home and help fellow straphangers on their educational paths! My largest wealth of tutoring experience is in foreign languages--particularly French--but I also feel very comfortable editing essays of any kind and working through standardized test concepts. My availability is extremely flexible, and anywhere in New York City works for me. I look forward to working with you.

Christopher

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +51 Subjects

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends. Hobbies: writing, art, books, reading, gardening, music

Justin

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +48 Subjects

I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.

Ingrid

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +51 Subjects

I am exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the first-generation and low-income student community as the Outreach Chair of the Quest+ Scholars Network, and getting involved with the Society of Women Engineers' outreach committee. I currently hold a work-study position as an administrative clerical aide in the Institute of Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern and was an undergraduate researcher in the John Rogers Lab. As I look forward with aspirations of applying to graduate school, areas of research in biomedical engineering and biotechnology that I am particularly interested in include biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery systems. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy learning on my own and sharing my experience and knowledge with my peers and other students. I hope to make use of my experiences with academics and learning in high school and so far in my undergraduate career in order to effectively tutor students who may be experiencing the same struggles in learning that I also experienced.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors offers personalized 1-on-1 instruction across a wide range of science disciplines, including Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Science, Anatomy, Physiology, and more. Whether your student is tackling general science in middle school, preparing for AP exams, or diving into specialized college-level coursework, our expert tutors can provide targeted support tailored to their specific curriculum and learning goals.

Science tutoring addresses the specific gaps in understanding that hold students back. Our expert tutors break down complex concepts into digestible explanations, work through challenging problems step-by-step, and help students build confidence in labs and on exams. With personalized instruction focused on your student's weak areas, they develop deeper mastery of the material and stronger problem-solving skills—both essential for grade improvement.

We work with students at all levels, from those just beginning to explore science in middle school through advanced college coursework and professional exam preparation. Whether your student needs foundational support in core concepts, help advancing to honors or AP-level science, or specialized tutoring for a challenging major, our expert tutors can meet them where they are and help them progress.

Absolutely. Our expert tutors help students prepare for standardized science exams including AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics, and others, as well as state assessments and college placement exams. They develop targeted study plans, review key concepts, work through practice problems, and help students build test-taking strategies so they can approach exam day with confidence.

In a classroom, teachers must move at a pace that works for the majority of students. With personalized tutoring, our expert tutors focus entirely on your student's learning style, pace, and specific challenges. They can spend as much time as needed on difficult concepts, skip material your student has already mastered, and adapt explanations until the material clicks—resulting in deeper understanding and faster progress.

Yes. Beyond conceptual understanding, our expert tutors can help students with lab report writing, data analysis, experimental design, and hands-on problem-solving skills. Whether your student needs support understanding what happened in a lab or developing stronger scientific communication skills, personalized tutoring covers the practical side of science learning.

Many students show noticeable improvement within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring as key concepts begin to click. However, the timeline depends on factors like the student's starting point, frequency of tutoring sessions, and how actively they engage with the material between sessions. Our expert tutors work with you to set realistic goals and track progress toward them.
