Alexander
Algebra Tutor • +46 Subjects
I am currently a doctoral student at the University of Southern California, and I completed earlier degrees at the Juilliard School in New York and at La Sierra University in Riverside, CA. At La Sierra as an undergrad, I received dual degrees with honors in violin and mathematics, both of which have led me to teaching opportunities. In tutoring either field, I enjoy the constant adaptation of finding an approach suited to each student that will help them achieve their goals. Both mathematics and music are often considered to be innate talents, but being able to assist students of any background in gaining proficiency is an exciting opportunity for me and a fulfilling one when it happens. Beyond mathematics, I also welcome tutoring opportunities in Chemistry and especially Physics, with it's mathematical foundation.Another field in which I feel passionately about helping others is in English writing. Prior to working for Varsity Tutors, I would often help my friends with editing personal statements. I have also been fortunate to enjoy a key role in a start-up orchestra in New York City as a grant writer. Writing is an indispensable life skill that is too often overlooked, and I feel that my background allows me to be of help in a variety of tutoring subjects involving writing, from test prep to grammar and mechanics.I was fortunate to do well enough on the PSAT to earn a full scholarship for my undergraduate studies, and I recognize the importance of the PSAT, SAT, and AP tests for other students in achieving their educational hopes and dreams with a minimum financial burden. I am happy to work with students to prepare them for the standardized tests in the areas within my expertise.When I am not occupied with school, one of my hobbies is cycling and bicycle mechanics. I've rebuilt a number of vintage steel bicycles, and would like to build a wheel soon. I also like to stay active on the side with video and audio editing projects.
Sarah-Nicole
AP Comparative Government and Politics Tutor • +19 Subjects
I am a rising senior at Wesleyan University studying French Language and Literature and Government with a concentration in Political Theory. I'm available to tutor in many subjects including English, Writing, Grammar, Literature, Essay Editing, Social Studies, European History, and varying levels of French. I am a passionate learner, eager to share this passion with students who are in need of any help whatsoever. I am especially excited to tutor students in French. I can recognize more than anyone that learning a second language doesn't always come naturally. I can understand that struggle on a personal level, but with hard work and practice, I truly believe that anyone can succeed in a foreign language! In my spare time I enjoy reading anything and everything, watching foreign films, and shopping!
Natasha
Art History Tutor • +61 Subjects
I am a motivated and enthusiastic tutor with over 20 years of experience in tutoring students of all different ages. I have served as everything from a full-time classroom teacher, to a small group mentor, to a one-on-one tutor. I have mentored virtually every age learner, from Pre-K to adult, and have experience with everything from home-education to private and parochial schools to public school education.When I'm not teaching, tutoring, or mothering my own 7 children, I enjoy a variety of activities. I love being outdoors in general, but my passion is for rock climbing. I also enjoy reading all kinds of literature and philosophy and cheering my kids on in their myriad sports and activities.My number one priority in teaching is to empower my students to understand how they learn best and what motivates them. I want my students to feel a passion for learning, even if they do not feel it for every subject. I have been told that I bring energy, enthusiasm, and creativity to the learning environment, and that these qualities are contagious. I hope to pass this enthusiasm for learning on to my students and that my students will, in turn, pass it on to those around them.

Carmen
6th Grade AP Language Composition Tutor • +37 Subjects
Education is our ticket to move forward, and I love to help learners of all ages!As founder, director, and instructor at a K-12 classical Christian private school, I love helping learners who may not be at grade level and who usually need a boost of confidence!Math from 6th through algebra, English, Latin, Government, Economics, Speech, Debate, Soft Skills, Art, Penmanship, Reading--from how to read to examination of classical literature, and composition at middle through doctoral grade levels are really enjoyable.My history includes corporate America, then homeschool mom of 4 for 25 years, then school leader, and an active Realtor. Personal education includes bachelor in marketing, master education in human services/counseling, and doctoral education in Business Management and Strategic Leadership.ADHD and autism spectrum learners are enjoyable, and I specialize in conceptual learning rather than grade-level.
Chris
ACT Prep Tutor • +34 Subjects
I'm an expert SAT tutor.I have over five years experience tutoring this test and over 15 years teaching experience, and I get great results from the index card method.I show my students how to make custom index cards from all of the problems that they've missed on the test. The cards allow them to re-confront the questions which they missed on the practice tests, again and again, until the ideas and understandings that form the solution become integrated into their current skill set.Complete explanations, which I review with them, point by point, are printed on the back, first by me, and then, by imitation, by them. I stress the quality of each of these seemingly obvious steps, because the effectiveness of my method depends upon all of them working together. I insist on a minimum of three problems reviewed in one session and focus on the student adopting the method of short, very frequent review of the material, throughout the day. This technique works! Ambitious students will use this method in whatever they choose to study in the future, so the techniques they learn in my little SAT bootcamp is well worth the money.
Rory
Accounting Tutor • +40 Subjects
Many of the opportunities that have come our way is because of the education we have received coupled with those who have encouraged us along the way.Moreover, I am determined to give back as much as I have received. My teachers have helped to shape my outlook on life.Consequently, I firmly believe that I more than qualified to reciprocate the nurture and care that was given me during my classroom days.Significantly, I am the head Sabbath school superintendent of my church, as the leader for the Sabbath school department I am responsible for coordinating the bible study, fellowship, community outreach and in-reach, along with world mission.Moreover, this task allows me to deal with people and thus gives me a better understanding of how to satisfy the different needs of people.The courses that I have applied for are areas that I have studied and have worked in. Therefore, I bring to the classroom, my own practical experience coupled with the theoretical knowledge I have.Finally, I am an Instructor of English, Accounting, Personal and Professional Development at Manhattan School of Computer Technology. Because of my experience I am aware that teaching adults is quite different from teaching children. I shall be happy to get the opportunity to work with this organization.
Dixon
ACT Science Tutor • +18 Subjects
I am a graduate from Furman University with a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience, and I completed my Master's in Biochemistry at Johns Hopkins this past spring. I tutor math and science, in addition to SAT and ACT prep.I love tutoring science courses, especially biology, since I always love to learn new things about how the world works and be able to pass on what I learn to students. I know that every student is different and learns differently than their peers, so getting to know students is my top priority when I tutor. Once a student's learning methods are understood, I feel I can help them improve effectively.Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running, watching soccer and basketball, and trying to find the best coffee in the city.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Newark has 20 school districts serving over 59,000 students across 93 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized instruction. Whether your student attends a Newark Public School, a charter school, or a private institution, we match them with tutors who understand the specific curriculum and standards they're working with.
Newark's average student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1 means many students don't get the individualized attention they need to master challenging concepts. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills that gap by allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning pace, learning style, and specific areas of struggle—something that's difficult in a traditional classroom setting.
Tutors connected through Varsity Tutors are familiar with New Jersey's learning standards and assessment expectations, including the New Jersey Student Learning Standards (NJSLS) across subjects like math, ELA, science, and social studies. They tailor instruction to ensure students build the skills and knowledge required for grade-level success and standardized assessments.
Students for students in Newark seek help across a wide range of subjects, with math and English language arts being the most common.
