College Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am currently a Junior at UCSB working towards a degree in Bio-psychology, following the Pre-Medical route! I have tutored both formally during high school and informally during my college years. I am comfortable teaching all ages and those who are eager to learn. I love tutoring in a more conversational matter and talking through problems rather than lecture and repeat. Each student has a different way they like to learn, so I adapt those ways and use it to the student's advantage. I love having the student be able to teach me the information we covered at the end of each session - if you can teach it, you have learned it! I am currently tutoring Middle school math, Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, ACT Science, and writing college essays/editing papers. Although I love teaching the logistics of the sciences, especially in ACT format, I find passion in helping students perfect their writing skills and develop strong, academic papers. Outside of school, I love playing sports such as volleyball, track, basketball, and baseball as well as going on hiking trips and adventures. I am a huge traveler, love reading new books, and love meeting new people. Besides helping students learn, I want the student to have fun, enjoy the tutoring session, and actually find a love for the subject they are studying. I used to hate reading and now it is one of my favorite things to do! Let's learn!

I am a junior studying Writing for Screen and Television at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts. For the past two spring semesters I worked as a CollegeSpring Mentor, tutoring Green Dot Charter high school juniors for the SAT and teaching them predatory skills for college. In addition to my experience tutoring for the SAT, as a screenwriting major I most enjoy teaching my favorite subject, English. I love showing students the power language endows upon them to communicate their ideas and beliefs with others. I believe every student deserves the chance to succeed and to try to capitalize on their strengths while encouraging them to improve in areas they may traditionally find challenging. Endowing a student with confidence in themselves through patience and support is the best way not only to improve academic performance, but also transform them into lifelong learners. I try to share not only my passion for knowledge with students, but also my love of sports (football, baseball, and softball), action films, and global affairs. Seeing students not only improve academically but also show improved confidence and happiness is the most rewarding part of my job.

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.

I am interested in becoming involved in educational policy at the national level later on in my life. Teaching is a joy that has always rivaled the happiness I receive from reading a great poem or communicating in another language. English and French literature are the two great passions of my life, and it is when I'm teaching that I feel most like I am doing meaningful and rewarding work. When I'm not reading poetry or practicing my French, I like boogie-boarding (a recently acquired skill), hiking, baking (often French desserts), and knitting.

Keith

Calculus Tutor • +11 Subjects

I am a graduate from the Northwestern University School of Law and am in my fifth year of practicing law in California. I am originally from the Los Angeles area and attended UCLA for my undergraduate degree in political science. Since graduating law school, I worked at both a major law firm and a small law firm until I was appointed as an attorney for a federal judge (a.k.a. “law clerk” position). I primarily tutor clients for LSAT preparation. I scored in the 99th percentile when I took the LSAT exam, and have since refined my strategies that are crucial to a successful LSAT score. My ultimate goal is that my students will score even higher than I scored, and I look forward to observing the progress and success of each of my clients. In my free time, I like to spend time outdoors playing tennis, jogging, hiking, and meeting with friends. I also love to travel and appreciate the uniqueness that each city--much like each person--has to offer. I feel my easy going nature and curiosity for life will rub off on my clients, and possibly even help them enjoy the sometimes daunting experience of taking the LSAT. Hobbies: reading, music, hiking, art, travel, nature, outdoors, books, writing

Daniel

College Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am currently working toward a MD at Loma Linda University. My tutoring experience includes mentoring Christian college students during a 2 year post-graduate program, helping primary school kids with homework in an after-school program, and tutoring my high school sister in various subjects. I enjoy tutoring subjects like English, Writing, Critical Reading, Math, and Science. My favorite subject to tutor is writing because I enjoy helping my students come up with ideas and synthesize them in an essay. In my tutoring sessions, I like to encourage my students to find their own solutions to problems, because I believe that the best learning results from self-discovery. My role as a tutor is that of a guide, one that leads the student on the right path to find the answer. I hope to not only impart understanding of the subject material, but also an appreciation for the subject to all my students. Outside of academics, my hobbies include going to church gatherings, running, and singing.

Shant

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a graduate from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychobiology with a minor in Geography and Environmental Studies. Throughout college I developed the ability to effectively communicate to a variety of demographics while simultaneously garnering skills in time management, course preparatory techniques, and teaching. Since graduating, I have been working with teens as a Health Educator at multiple high schools throughout Los Angeles. While I am capable of tutoring on a variety of subjects, my interest in practicing medicine bolsters my passion for tutoring in the sciences. I truly believe that creating a strong foundation during high school will ensure a smooth and successful transition into college. In my spare time, I enjoy finding alternative methods for enriching my health such as exercise, running, cycling, swimming, and researching new healthy recipes.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +38 Subjects

I am most passionate about English, History, Math, and the SAT. I am fascinated by the SAT. I love teaching struggling test takers how to view the SAT as an approachable, accessible set of riddles and games instead of as an intellectual brick wall. I firmly believe that the majority of people can find great joy in academics once they discover the individual approach that works for them. I see it as my job to help them find that path. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, running, travel, and reading. I am also a section editor for the Los Angeles Review of Books and the literary manager for two theater companies based in New York and Los Angeles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Arcadia's 27 schools with expert tutors. Whether your student attends schools in the Arcadia Unified School District or nearby areas, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can provide personalized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to their specific needs.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 23.3:1 in Arcadia schools, many students benefit from one-on-one attention that classroom settings can't always provide. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning style, pace, and specific challenges—whether they need to catch up, keep up, or get ahead.

Tutors work with students to master California's content standards across subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. They understand the specific benchmarks students need to meet at each grade level and can target instruction on areas where your student needs extra support to stay on track with district expectations.

In the first session, your tutor will assess your student's current level, discuss their goals, and identify specific areas where they need support. This might include reviewing recent classwork, understanding learning preferences, and establishing a personalized plan—all designed to make the most of every tutoring session.

Varsity Tutors connects Arcadia students with tutors across a wide range of subjects, including core academics like Math and English, test preparation (SAT, ACT, AP exams), science, history, foreign languages, and more. Whatever your student is studying in their Arcadia school, we can help match them with an expert tutor in that subject.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families in Arcadia to find options that fit their budget and schedule. Contact us to discuss your student's needs and get transparent pricing information for personalized 1-on-1 instruction.

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and experience helping students succeed. Each tutor is vetted for their expertise, and we match your student with someone whose background aligns with their specific needs and learning goals.

Getting started is simple—contact Varsity Tutors and tell us about your student's needs, goals, and preferred subject or skill area. We'll match them with a tutor and schedule the first session at a time that works for your family. Most students notice improvement within the first few weeks of consistent, personalized instruction.
