Jacob
Algebra Tutor • +32 Subjects
I am a current senior at the University of Chicago about to graduate with a BA, double majoring in Anthropology and Philosophy. My interests have always been pretty diverse, from both stem to the humanities, and I am comfortable teaching in a variety of different subjects.Tutoring has long been an important part of my life and I take a lot of joy in being able to teach others. I started on a volunteer basis during high school, where I taught middle school Math and English, and I have continued tutoring middle and high school students while in college. I definitely have the most experience teaching Math, and I think I have seen the most immediate improvements while teaching Math. However, I particularly take joy in teaching English, especially critical reading, as many students are surprised by how much they can improve in the long-term.Thank you for reading through my personal statement and I look forward to teaching you or your student soon!
Olivia
AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a junior at New York University, and I tutor students in SAT prep, AP English Language and Literature, high school English, writing, college essay writing, and French. Tutoring is a passion of mine because I think that learning can be an exciting and enriching experience for all students, whether or not they know it. It can be hard for some students to find a reason to be engaged in their education when they're in large classes, but tutoring offers a unique opportunity to cater to their individual learning style and to identify ways they can be invested in their own education. I love having the opportunity to be involved in that process, as I believe that education has the power to change lives.
Brett
Creative Writing Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am an accomplished English Language Arts Instructor with seventeen years of teaching experience. I am a three-time Teacher of the Year recipient who has spent my entire teaching career facilitating students in their journey to embrace the art of writing as a primary pathway to communication and a catalyst for change.I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Rollins Hamilton Holt School with a Bachelor's of Arts degree in Psychology, and I consistently use this background in brain-based learning when developing curriculum. My teaching style is a unique blend of 21st century writing and reading workshop, supported by critique-driven reflection. Embedded into my coursework is the acknowledgement that each learner has the capacity - the innate desire - to challenge themselves. It is the aim of every session to provide them with the language, grit, and fortitude to do so.
Jason
Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects
I am currently an instructor at a small technical college in Pittsburgh. Previously I have taught all levels of middle and high school math ranging from basic arithmetic to AP Calculus and Physics. My years of experience allows me to customize tutoring to all abilities and learning styles. I received my bachelors and masters degree in education from Duquesne University. I feel that relating the topics to areas of interest help close the learning gap. I have a very patient and relaxing demeanor which I have fine tuned with my almost 1 year old son!
Ronni
Elementary School Reading Tutor • +8 Subjects
Ever since I was a little girl, I always wanted to be a teacher. I loved helping others and sharing the knowledge I had learned. I decided to pursue a career in history education as I found I loved the content as well as the opportunity it allowed me to influence others and aid them in developing their thinking. I also discovered my passion for teaching English and engaging with students from a variety of cultures. I believe I have an obligation as a teacher to help students become better people while also learning the most that they can about a topic.

I am currently a senior at Vanderbilt University studying Mechanical Engineering with minors in both Mathematics and Financial Economics. I am an active leader of my sorority and outside of school I enjoy spending time with my friends, enjoying the outdoors, and soaking up everything Nashville has to offer before I graduate in May! After graduation, I will be moving to Washington D.C. to do technology consulting for Deloitte in their Federal practice. I am originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and love to travel to see other parts of the US and the world!I believe that I would be a great tutor due to my drive to succeed, my desire to see others succeed, and my ability to work well with a diverse group of people. I have had experience tutoring elementary school students in simple mathematics and want to expand upon this experience. I take pride in my academics and hope to see others succeed and enjoy learning as I have.
Maria
Medical Terminology Tutor • +8 Subjects
I graduated from an accelerated BSN program at Texas Tech University. I also have a BS in Zoology from The Ohio State University where I also completed Air Force ROTC. I served 7 years as a commissioned officer in the United States Air Force in charge of air traffic controllers and airfield management personnel. I met my husband while on active duty and after we got engaged, I separated from the Air Force and pursued my passion for nursing. I am excited to share my experience with taking the NCLEX, various study strategies that I learned while in a demanding 12-month accelerated nursing program, and my experience as a graduate nurse in a Level II trauma center. I am a big proponent of understanding the 'why' behind pathophysiology, signs, and symptoms, and nursing interventions. Trying to memorize everything is impossible and will not help you pass the NCLEX, however, if you understand the concept and pathophysiology, you can usually get the right answers and be way more successful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Albany is home to 13 school districts serving over 17,000 students across 51 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in the Albany City School District, Bethlehem, Guilderland, or another local district, we match them with tutors who understand New York's curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.
New York has rigorous academic standards across math, English language arts, science, and social studies, and tutors work directly with students to build mastery in these areas. Whether preparing for Regents exams, state assessments, or strengthening foundational skills, personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus on exactly where each student needs support—something that's harder to achieve in classrooms with the district average of 14.7 students per teacher.
Albany students commonly seek help with math (especially algebra, geometry, and regents prep), English language arts and writing, chemistry and biology, and test preparation for the SAT and ACT. We also work with students on study skills, organization, and confidence-building—especially important as they progress through New York's increasingly rigorous coursework in middle and high school.
The first session is a get-to-know-you meeting where the tutor learns about your student's academic history, current challenges, learning style, and goals. They'll assess where your student stands, discuss what success looks like, and create a personalized plan together. This foundation ensures every session that follows is focused and productive.
Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions—we work with families to find an arrangement that fits their budget and schedule. Many Albany families find that personalized tutoring prevents the need for more expensive interventions later, and the focused 1-on-1 approach means faster progress compared to group settings.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have deep subject expertise and proven teaching experience. Tutors are carefully selected and vetted, and many have backgrounds in education, advanced degrees in their subject areas, or years of professional experience. Each tutor is matched to your student based on their specific needs and learning goals.
Absolutely. Regents exams are a key part of New York's education system, and tutors specialize in helping students master the content and test-taking strategies needed to succeed. Whether your student is preparing for Regents in math, English, science, or social studies, personalized instruction allows tutors to focus on the specific topics and question types where they need the most support.
Simply reach out to Varsity Tutors with information about your student's grade level, subject, and goals. We'll match them with a qualified tutor, schedule an initial session, and get started. Most families see the benefit of tutoring quickly—especially when the tutor is focused entirely on their student's needs rather than managing a classroom of 15 or more.
