Yosef
PhD Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
8+ Years Tutoring

Hello, my name is Yosef and I would be happy to serve as a math tutor. I place strong emphasis on a good balance between knowledge of mathematical content and proficiency in problem-solving, reasoning, and conveying mathematical ideas in writing. There are times when a student needs to be informed of a solution, times when he or she also needs to hear the explanation of why the solution works, and times when he or she should be guided to finding the solution on his or her own. It is important for the tutor to recognize which approach is appropriate. Frequently, when students struggle, it is because they do not understand the notation or terminology in use. In such cases, it is important to reassure the student, reminding him or her that he or she is only struggling with understanding a single word, not the entire mathematical concept. As a rule, people perform better and are better motivated when they have self-confidence, not when the task ahead seems frighteningly daunting. It is also important to recognize that different students learn best through different means. As an example, some students are visual learners and can understand the material best through pictures and gestures. Other students learn best through hearing the procedures vocalized, while still others learn best through writing out the steps of the solution procedure. I know to adapt my teaching style to the individual student. with these considerations in mind, I promise to provide the best assistance that I can, taking your individual needs into consideration.

I am working with students, I seek to help them achieve a mastery of the subject that will stay with them for the rest of their lives and serve as strong foundation for their future intellectual endeavors.

Valerie
BA University of Chicago
1+ Years Tutoring

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Chicago majoring in Classics and Theatre. However, my college uses the core curriculum and as a result, I've had a well-rounded, eclectic education covering everything from math to fine arts. I've won awards in community service, dance, and film, but most notably, 20 writing prizes before I reached eighteen. I was a National Merit Semi-Finalist in high school and I've had a passion for education and the art of learning since I was a child. I hope to instill in my students the love of amassing knowledge, excelling in your studies, and walking out of a test feeling like you rocked it. I especially had a passion for the Critical Reading and the Writing portions of the SAT's and the SAT 2 in Literature. I have teaching experience with everything from stand-up comedy to Emergency Medical Services to tap dancing, and I've been told that I am unmatched in my enthusiasm. In my free time, I like to perform sketch and improv comedy, dance, play the banjo, and volunteer in my local hospital.

BA The University of Alabama • Juris Doctor, Legal Studies Yale University
7+ Years Tutoring

I am a recent graduate from the University of Alabama who will be starting at Yale Law School in the fall of 2019. I double majored in International Studies and French with a minor in African American Studies. During my time at UA, I participated in mentoring programs that allowed me to work with elementary school children, in addition, to being a coach for children aged 2-18 years old. I entirely self-studied for the LSAT and scored in the top 1 percentile, so I am well prepared for helping students achieve their law school goals.

Maxwell
BA Yale University
4+ Years Tutoring

I am an undergraduate student at Yale University. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology along with a certificate of advanced language in Spanish. I currently do research studying changes in stem cells and gene expression during different planarian physiological processes. I am extremely interested in biochemical and biophysical processes, closely tied to my interest in STEM courses and education. I have the most experience tutoring math, science, and Spanish, using my personal and current education with feedback from previous students to refine my approach. In high school I started a student success center during covid to provide free online tutoring, providing tutors in all subjects during set hours of the week. I work hard to create a comfortable environment to reduce the stresses and pressures of tutoring, not only allowing me to enhance my student's education but do so in a way that is most suited to their learning styles. I have gone through the college application process recently and would love to share my knowledge of standardized testing (study tips, general questions, and subject-specific tutoring), college preparation, and the application process. Outside of the classroom, I dance for Sabrosura (Yale's Premier Latin Dance team), explore what borders campus on walks and hikes, and love trying new foods and experiences.

I believe that education is one of the most fundamental aspects of a society's wellbeing, and that it is the duty of those of us who have been graced with the advantages of a good education to give back in some way; one of my motivations for tutoring is to do my part in that way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Hartford's 10 school districts with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a Hartford public school, magnet school, or charter school, we match them with tutors who understand Connecticut's academic standards and can support their specific curriculum and learning goals.

Hartford students frequently seek help with math, reading comprehension, and test preparation—particularly as they progress through Connecticut's grade-level standards and prepare for state assessments. We also work with students on writing skills, science, and foreign languages. Tutors can tailor support to your student's specific challenges and school's curriculum.

Your student's first session is a chance for the tutor to understand their learning style, current skill level, and specific academic goals. The tutor will ask questions about what's working and what isn't, then create a personalized plan. Most students feel comfortable right away since the tutoring is 1-on-1 and focused entirely on their needs.

With Hartford's average student-teacher ratio of 14.3:1, classroom teachers often can't provide individualized attention to every student. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills that gap by letting tutors focus entirely on your student's strengths and gaps, adjust pacing to their learning speed, and answer questions without time pressure—something that's difficult in larger classroom settings.

Absolutely. Tutors working with Hartford students are familiar with Connecticut's standards and can help students master grade-level expectations in math, literacy, science, and other subjects. Whether your student needs to catch up, stay on track, or get ahead, personalized instruction helps them build the skills and confidence needed to succeed on state assessments and in the classroom.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Many Hartford families find that starting with 1-2 sessions per week makes a meaningful difference. We're happy to discuss your budget and goals to find a tutoring plan that works for your family—there's flexibility in how often you meet and for how long.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have subject expertise and teaching experience. Many hold teaching credentials, have advanced degrees, or bring years of tutoring experience. All tutors are vetted for their ability to teach effectively and communicate clearly with students—we match your student with someone who fits their learning needs and personality.

Getting started is simple—reach out to tell us about your student's needs, grade level, and goals. We'll match them with a tutor who's a great fit, and you can schedule the first session at a time that works for your family. Most families see their student connect with a tutor within a few days and start making progress right away.
