Ben
Calculus Tutor • +30 Subjects
I am willing to invest the amount of time needed to polishing developing writers and students so that they come away with more than just a corrected essay or some more grammar knowledge; I am seeking to help them hear their own voice in their writing and bring that with them to the next step in their careers.

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.

Jackie

I am a sophomore at Vanderbilt University and have been tutoring since I was a freshman in high school. I love working with elementary and middle school students, but also have the knowledge and skills to tutor high school students in AP classes and standardized tests. I scored a 35 on my ACT (36 math, 35 english, 35 science, 33 reading), a 770 on the Math II SAT subject test and a 780 on the Chemistry SAT subject test. In high school, I took AP Calculus BC, AP Chemistry, AP Physics C, AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics, and Multivariable Calculus, and scored a 5 on every AP exam. In addition to specific subject matter, I am highly knowledgable on the college process and know how to strategize to get into your dream school!
Alexander
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +33 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.

Ema
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Harvard University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with an emphasis on screenwriting. Although I love literature and writing, I am most passionate about tutoring math. I have five years of experience as a math tutor, during which time I helped students ages 3-17 with math ranging from basic arithmetic to pre-calculus. My favorite math topic is algebra, particularly because of its usefulness in solving real-world word problems. In addition to mathematics, I find joy in teaching/elucidating Shakespeare to high-school students. As a classically trained actor, I find it fun to tackle Shakespeare’s dense texts from a performance and character-driven perspective. In my spare time, I enjoy vegan baking and roller-blading.

Zach
Calculus Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am an actor, writer, and composer, with degrees in Theatre and English from Northwestern University. I have been passionate about literature and writing for as long as I can remember, and I use that passion to make critical reading, comprehension, and testing much easier and less daunting. I tutor English, Writing, and SAT Prep for Critical Reading and Writing. One of the things that make me stand out as a teacher is that I remember well what it's like to struggle in a subject. I was not good at math or science, so I understand what it is like to have difficulty grasping concepts. I can easily see how a student learns, and explain the concept in a manner in which the student can understand. Outside of teaching, I act in plays, write films, and I am currently composing a musical.

Frequently Asked Questions
Huntington Beach has 48 schools across 5 school districts serving over 31,000 students. Varsity Tutors connects students from across all of these schools and districts with personalized tutoring support, whether they attend public schools like Huntington Beach High School or Edison High School, or charter and private institutions in the area. This means no matter which school your student attends in Huntington Beach, we can match them with a tutor who understands their specific curriculum and local academic standards.
With an average student-teacher ratio of 22.9:1 in Huntington Beach schools, many students don't get the individualized attention they need to close learning gaps or accelerate their progress. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills that gap by giving students dedicated support tailored to their learning style and pace. Research shows that one-on-one tutoring can significantly improve academic outcomes compared to classroom-only instruction, especially for students working toward California state standards or preparing for competitive exams.
During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current level, identify specific challenges, and learn about their goals—whether that's improving grades, preparing for the SAT/ACT, mastering California standards, or building confidence in a particular subject. This personalized evaluation helps the tutor create a customized learning plan that addresses your student's unique needs. You'll also have the opportunity to discuss expectations and ask any questions about how tutoring will support your student's success.
California has specific academic standards for each grade level and subject, and Huntington Beach tutors are familiar with these state requirements. Whether your student needs help with Common Core math, California English Language Arts standards, science benchmarks, or other state-mandated curricula, personalized tutoring ensures they're learning the exact content and skills their school expects. This targeted approach helps students keep pace with their classroom while filling gaps that might otherwise widen over time.
Students in Huntington Beach seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, with particularly high demand for math (algebra, geometry, calculus), English/writing, chemistry, and test prep (SAT, ACT, AP exams). Many students also benefit from support in foreign languages like Spanish and Mandarin, as well as specialized subjects like AP Biology and U.S. History. Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors in virtually any subject, so whether your student needs help with core academics or advanced coursework, we can find the right match.
Yes, many Huntington Beach students connect with tutors to prepare for the SAT, ACT, and AP exams. Test prep tutoring is highly personalized—tutors identify which question types and content areas are most challenging for each student, then focus practice and instruction on those areas. With college acceptance becoming increasingly competitive, targeted test prep through personalized 1-on-1 instruction can make a meaningful difference in a student's scores and college prospects.
Varsity Tutors understands that Huntington Beach families juggle school, sports, extracurriculars, and work. Tutoring sessions can be scheduled around your family's calendar—whether that's after school, on weekends, or during breaks. Sessions are typically 1-2 hours and can happen as frequently or infrequently as your student needs. This flexibility means tutoring fits into your life, rather than adding another scheduling headache.
After you tell us about your student's needs—their grade level, subject, learning goals, and any scheduling preferences—Varsity Tutors uses that information to connect you with a tutor who's the right fit. Tutors are independent professionals with expertise in the subjects they teach and experience working with students in Huntington Beach schools. You'll have the opportunity to meet and discuss whether the match is right before committing to ongoing sessions.
