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.

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.
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.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +40 Subjects
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!

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.
John
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 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.

I am starting graduate school this fall. My experiences as a student and scientist help me explain concepts and work through problems in a clear and engaging manner. I love teaching, and strive to make each personalized lesson enjoyable and productive. In addition to math and science, I can teach the skills and strategies students need to reach their goals on the ACT, GRE, or AP tests. I also enjoy working with elementary age students to increase reading and math proficiencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Hercules's six schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Hercules Unified School District or nearby, we match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum and California academic standards they're working toward.
While Hercules schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of about 23:1, one-on-one tutoring offers something classrooms can't—completely personalized instruction tailored to your student's learning pace and style. This combination helps students who need extra support in specific subjects or those aiming to accelerate their learning, especially in core subjects like math and English where individual attention makes a measurable difference.
During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals—whether that's improving grades, preparing for California state tests, or building confidence in a challenging subject. They'll use this information to create a personalized learning plan that aligns with what your student is working on in their Hercules school classroom.
Hercules students most commonly seek tutoring in math, English language arts, and science—subjects that form the foundation for California's state standards assessments and college preparation. We also work with many students on test prep for the SAT and ACT, as well as support for AP and honors courses for students looking to strengthen their academic profiles.
Tutors understand California's grade-level standards and assessments, helping students build the specific skills tested on state evaluations. Personalized instruction allows tutors to identify gaps in foundational knowledge, address them directly, and ensure your student is progressing at the pace needed to meet grade-level expectations and prepare for future academic challenges.
Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families to create flexible tutoring plans that fit different budgets and schedules. Contact us to discuss your student's specific needs, and we'll help you find a plan that works for your family.
We take time to understand your student's learning needs, goals, and personality before making a match. Tutors are selected based on subject expertise, teaching style, and experience working with students at your child's grade level. If the initial match isn't the right fit, we'll work to find a better connection.
Simply reach out to tell us about your student's needs and goals. We'll discuss which subjects or skills need support, your preferred schedule, and any specific challenges your student is facing. From there, we'll connect you with an experienced tutor ready to provide personalized instruction tailored to help your student succeed.
