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.

10+ Years Tutoring

I am a freshman at Yale University, hailing originally from Seattle in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. 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.

BA Yale University
7+ Years Tutoring

I am a Yale University graduate with professional teaching experience at the college level. I know the SAT Writing and Reading sections like the back of my hand, and I know English, writing, and history as subjects just the same, but what I know most is how stressful and daunting the college admissions process can be. I am most passionate about helping you succeed in your school and test prep endeavors and to do that, I will teach you the test taking methods, study habits and study tricks that work best for you individually. No cookie-cutters tactics, no frustration. I am here to instruct, support, build confidence, encourage, and most of all, to be a patient guide in getting you where you want to be.

Current Undergrad, Mathematics and History Yale University
10+ Years Tutoring

I'm an undergraduate student at Yale University, with a prospective double major in Mathematics and History. I strive to bring students toward their lightbulb moments not by repeating facts until they're drilled in, but by helping my students understand precisely why the laws of science, the rules of grammar, and the events of history are the way they are, and by lifting the curtain on the intricacies of the subject matter. I believe that learning is, and ought to be, for its own sake.

Stephanie
BA Yale University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a senior at Yale studyung Neuroscience and History of Science, Medicine, and Public Health. I am a graduate of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and a recipient of the IB Diploma. My academic background includes extensive experience in rigorous college level classes at the IB and Advanced Placement (AP) level. As a member of my school's math honor society, Mu Alpha Theta, I have volunteered my time at a local middle school to tutor students in different math levels from pre-Algebra to Geometry. I also absolutely love languages. Aside from being a native Spanish speaker, I have been studying Italian for the last four years and feel confident tutoring in these subjects. Another subject I enjoy tutoring is Standardized Testing, where I help high school students prepare for exams like the SAT, PSAT, and ACT. Preparing for these exams is crucial in order to achieve a good score, and I always make sure that my students are comfortable with both the format and the material on each exam. As a student, I know how important tutoring is, not only to improve grades but also to gain a better understanding of the material. Whenever I dedicate time to tutoring, I try to keep things engaging and fun. Motivation is definitely a key to success, and I believe that with the right encouragement and guidance any student can achieve their goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Torrington's 11 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Torrington school district or transfers between schools, we match them with tutors who understand Connecticut's academic standards and can support their specific learning needs.

Torrington's average student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1 means many students benefit from additional personalized attention. One-on-one tutoring fills that gap by giving your student dedicated focus on their specific challenges—whether that's catching up on foundational skills, preparing for state assessments, or working ahead. Research consistently shows that personalized instruction accelerates learning in ways group settings can't match.

Torrington students typically seek support in math, English language arts, and science—subjects that form the foundation for Connecticut Mastery Test (CMT) and NGSS-aligned coursework. We also work with students preparing for high school entrance exams, AP courses, and standardized tests like the SAT and ACT. Tutors can address specific gaps or provide enrichment depending on your student's goals.

Your student's first session focuses on getting to know their tutor and identifying specific learning goals. The tutor will assess your student's current level, understand what's working and what isn't in their classes, and develop a personalized plan aligned with their school's curriculum and pace. This foundation ensures every session afterward builds toward meaningful progress.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with Connecticut's education standards, including state assessments and grade-level expectations. Whether your student needs support with Connecticut's English language arts standards, mathematics frameworks, or science progressions, tutors tailor instruction to ensure they're building the skills their school expects.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's needs—we're happy to discuss options that fit your family's budget. Getting started is simple: you'll tell us about your student's goals, we'll match them with a qualified tutor, and you can begin personalized sessions.

You'll see progress reflected in improved classroom grades, better performance on quizzes and tests, and increased confidence in the subject.
