Who needs tutoring?
No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.

I am committed to providing my students with the best learning experience achievable. I strive to cater to their needs and challenge them to achieve their academic goals.

I am not working, I am usually swing dancing! I also spend my time reading, crocheting, and taking selfies with my cat.
I am currently seeking admission into medical school. Meanwhile, I am doing what I enjoy doing the most, tutoring students and helping them through their academic struggles. I enjoy interacting with students and seeing them improve academically as it gives me a lot of self-satisfaction. I enjoy teaching chemistry, physics and mathematics the most.
I'm an avid reader, musician, outdoors-enthusiast, chef, and movie-watcher.
I'm a recent graduate of the California Institute of Technology in Economics and Computer Science. I was also accepted at Harvard, Princeton, MIT, and Stanford. I have a broad range of interests spanning science, math, engineering, social science, the humanities, the arts, and athletics (I also played on the Caltech basketball team). My background allows me to tutor general college prep, especially the SAT, ACT and the GRE. I love to teach analytical thinking, ranging from advanced Math and Physics to strategies for understanding literature and developing arguments.
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!
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.
I am hoping to start law school next fall. Before I lose another three years of my life to academia, I hope to spend the time I have now to help students get the grades and marks they need to reach the schools of their dreams. I've been on the "treadmill" and I know how brutal the educational arena can be. Thus, I find great satisfaction in being able to help people who were in similar situations as myself. I have extensive experience in tutoring from two previous positions in which I taught in both a classroom setting and a one-on-one setting. Regarding the subjects I have taught- I am familiar with math all the way up to Algebra 2 (including SAT Math), I have helped many students prepare for the SAT and ACT, I am very familiar with the LSAT, and I can assist students with Literature and Writing as well. In my experience with tutoring, I have found that students can often learn best when the instruction is tailored to their needs. Each student has unique strengths and weaknesses, and I enjoy the challenge of figuring out how to play on those strengths and weaknesses in order to bring out the best performance from the student. Although law is still my passion, I've found that I truly enjoy teaching; the friendships I've developed and the lessons I've learned are invaluable, and within this next year, I hope to help as many students as possible. Outside of teaching, I like watching a good UFC fight now and then, and I am shamelessly addicted to the NBA and all its glory. I have an insatiable appetite for good music, films, art, and of course, food, and I love experiencing and learning about different cultures, religions, and views. Lastly, I think the cheeseburger is the greatest invention man has ever made, and I am forever in pursuit of the best burger in L.A.
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.
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'm Katrina--a recent transplant to LA and also a recent grad of Yale University! Reading and writing have been integral to my life over the past few years as a Film and Media Studies and Sociology double major. I believe that crafting text can be a fun hobby and a very useful skill. Yet, it can often be challenging. I know what it is like to need help with schoolwork, and I know what it is like to provide that help for others. I believe that with patience and effort, we can solve any problem!
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students throughout Long Beach with personalized 1-on-1 instruction, regardless of which of the city's 8 school districts they attend. Whether your student is in the Long Beach Unified School District or one of the smaller districts in the area, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can provide targeted support aligned with what they're learning in class.
With an average of 24 students per teacher in Long Beach schools, individual student needs can easily get overlooked in a traditional classroom setting. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills that gap by giving your student dedicated attention focused specifically on their learning style, pace, and goals—something that's difficult to achieve in larger classroom environments. This targeted approach helps students catch up on gaps, master challenging concepts, and build confidence in their abilities.
California's academic standards are rigorous, and Long Beach students need to master content across math, English language arts, science, and social studies. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with California's standards-based curriculum and can help them develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills these standards emphasize. Whether preparing for state assessments or building foundational skills, tutors provide instruction aligned with what Long Beach schools expect.
The first session is about building rapport and understanding your student's specific needs. The tutor will assess your student's current level, identify areas where they're struggling, and learn about their learning style and goals. This information helps create a personalized tutoring plan that addresses your student's unique challenges—whether that's struggling with California's math standards, preparing for a state test, or catching up after missing instruction.
Long Beach students seek tutoring most often in math and English language arts, as these subjects form the foundation for success across other courses and on state assessments. However, we also connect students with tutors in science, history, test prep (SAT, ACT, AP exams), and foreign languages. The specific subjects depend on your student's grade level, academic goals, and areas where they need the most support.
Absolutely. Many Long Beach families work with Varsity Tutors to connect multiple children with tutors—whether they're in different grade levels, need help in different subjects, or have different learning needs. Each student gets matched with a tutor suited to their individual needs, so your elementary student might work with one tutor on reading while your middle schooler gets math support from another. We can coordinate schedules to make it convenient for your family.
When a student is falling behind, personalized 1-on-1 instruction can make a real difference by targeting the specific gaps in their understanding rather than moving at a one-size-fits-all pace. A tutor will identify where your student's foundation is weak, rebuild those skills, and then help them catch up to grade-level expectations. This approach—combined with consistent practice and encouragement—helps students regain confidence and momentum, especially important in Long Beach's competitive academic environment.
Getting started is simple: tell us about your student's needs, grade level, and goals, and we'll match them with a qualified tutor in the Long Beach area. You can discuss scheduling, subjects, and any specific academic challenges during the matching process. Once matched, you'll have a dedicated tutor who understands your student's situation and can begin providing personalized instruction right away.
