No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.

I am a sophomore at Johns Hopkins University studying Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. I tutor many STEM subjects, SAT/ACT prep, and AP/IB classes! In the years past, I've mentored two robotics teams and I have experience tutoring at my school and in my neighborhood. I deeply believe that an intuitive understanding of educational content is crucial to success, and I implement this philosophy by teaching problem-solving techniques and strategies in addition to the material. In my free time, I love to read, paint, crochet, and watch TV shows. :)

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Chicago, working towards a pre-med double major in Psychology and Biology (with a specialization in Neuroscience). Beginning in my early teens, I began working and volunteering as a tutor in a variety of environments: I began as a volunteer at a summer program for underprivileged children at the Learning and Tutoring Center of East Austin, and since I have worked as a private elementary school tutor, a private SAT-prep tutor, and a preschool tutor for the Neighborhood Schools Program in South Side Chicago. I have taken, and succeeded in, a broad range of Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) classes, and am familiar with the latest formats, question varieties, and scoring guidelines of these standardized tests, along with the SAT. My teaching philosophy is to go beyond "teaching to the test". Although test-taking skills are crucial for any assessment, I believe the most valuable thing a tutor can do is to enhance and help develop conceptual understanding in our clients. I believe that once a student understands something at the conceptual level, he or she will be much better prepared for the topic, not only in the specific test we are preparing for, but anywhere else it may come up. Memorizing words or equations might help somebody in the short term, but understanding why that word means what it means, or what an equation is actually depicting is worth the extra effort. Besides test-prep I think I can be a great help in writing and editing, as I have experience in everything from short, timed essays such as the SAT essay, to college essays, to research papers such as the IB Extended Essay. I am fully fluent in Spanish for anyone who wishes to communicate in or practice the language.
I am teaching the concepts does not work for you, let me know and I will try my very best to teach students in the way they feel comfortable. Also, I am a student myself, so I know and understand the struggles of being a student. Do not worry though! I have tutored countless students ranging from grades 1-12. I have tutored middle school students for the past three years and recently began tutoring a few high school students for the SAT exam. I have received multiple mathematics awards throughout my high school years, so I am confident that I will be able to teach your student the tips and tricks around different types of math problems. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me!
I am a recent college graduate from the University of Florida. I studied both premedical subjects as a biology major and social sciences as an economics major. I have experience mentoring elementary and middle school students in reading and math.
I am currently a student at the University of Central Florida, majoring in Biotechnology and in the Burnett Medical Scholars Program.
I am a Florida educator that loves helping students find their "a-ha moment." My background is primarily middle school and my specialty is Science. However, I have been moved around in the school system quite a bit and I'm flexible to teach many different contents and age groups.
I am excited to try and help others get better and appreciate these subjects as much as I do. In my spare time, I enjoy building up by cooking language skills (currently working on Spanish and Japanese), drawing and reading manga in addition to piles and piles of books.
I am currently studying for the GRE. I've served as a T.A. for a beginner's literature class in the past year, and was a camp counselor at Girls Inc., a stem-focused summer and after school camp for girls K-8. My primary fields are English Literature, Comparative Literature, and History. I have presented at conferences, most recently at Simon Fraser as a member of a panel for their graduate English program. I wrote a thesis last year, passed my baccalaureate exam, and I'm pursuing publication for the project. I am currently working as a freelance writer, with an article due for publication in The New Inquiry next month.
I am a licensed physician from Florida who is currently changing careers. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009 and have extensive tutoring and editing experience. While a student, I became a certified writing tutor through the Critical Writing Department. Since I completed my writing requirement at the University prior to matriculating, I was the first freshman tutor to be accepted into this selective program. The tutoring program involved a preliminary peer-tutor training course prior to beginning tutoring, in order to certify that I had the appropriate background to provide professional feedback to fellow students on their literary works and projects. After graduation, I worked for a full-service learning center where I created and implemented high school lesson plans for home-schooled students, provided academic support for students ranging in ages from 8 to 20 years old, and taught group and individual standardized testing preparation classes. I have also assisted students with application essays for various undergraduate and graduate programs.
I am available to tutor a broad range of subjects, I am passionate about test preparation, Accountancy, and Algebra.
I am a recent graduate from the University of Florida. I completed my studies in Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience and have minors in statistics and business administration. I am currently going on to obtain a Master in Computational Social Science at the University of Chicago. I am passionate about research, data collection, and analysis in the area of cognitive psychology. My specialties lie in Psychology and Statistics and I have a very strong mathematical foundation. I have experience working with middle school and high school aged students as a tutor through the national honor society club, which I was a member of as a high school student. I think that data science and research is important for our future, so I am motivated to help students learn and appreciate math and science as important tools.
I'm passionate about guiding high schoolers through the college application process. The admissions process is probably one of the most confusing, anxiety-inducing experiences you'll have in high school, but I'm full of ideas for making the entire process as successful and stress-free as possible. I've successfully guided many students through every stage of admissions -- from figuring out where to apply and then staying organized and on-track, to "packaging" themselves and producing a perfect personal statement -- and I love witnessing them achieve their admissions dreams.
i am a student at The University of Pennsylvania studying business and computer science. My interest in tutoring began in middle school when I started taking online math classes for more enrichment and exposure. In high school, I founded Mu Alpha Theta and ran it all four years of high school. I love teaching students in all aspects of math and science.
I am graduated from Penn State University in Industrial Engineering in 2017. I've tutored ever since I was in high school, and I love helping people! I like to help my students understand math (and other topics) instead of just doing it blindly. My goal is to help my students improve their math (and other topics) and build skills that will help them find learning easier in the future! Fun fact, I used to work for Disney and I like to salsa dance!
I am up to date on the reformed common core curriculum currently used in public schools as well. Furthermore, I am capable of working with special needs children. I have worked with children on the autism spectrum, children with down syndrome, and Deaf children in behavioral therapy and their class courses.
I am a certified teacher of both math and Chinese. I have taught everything from elementary to high school math, and from beginning to AP Mandarin Chinese. I have been teaching in public schools for more than ten years, so I know what students struggle with and where some of their biggest academic hurdles can be found. I am here to help! I like to break down knowledge and information into easy steps, in order to make it easier for students to solve their problems. By working together on everything from fundamentals to test preparation, you will soon know what to learn and memorize in order to feel prepared, regardless of subject!
I am a bright, helpful and patient tutor who enjoys working with students and always strives to meet their individual educational needs. My mission is to empower students to meet and exceed their educational goals and to develop greater self-confidence in the process. I have a Bachelors degree in Chemical Engineering from Princeton University and a Masters degree in Business Administration from Indiana University. I've previously tutored elementary and middle school math, as well as Algebra and SAT prep. I really enjoy tutoring math because numbers are fun and there are many practical ways to teach math which make it more interesting and understandable for students. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking new recipes, traveling internationally and playing cards and board games.
I am currently an undergraduate student at Vanderbilt University studying Neuroscience and Spanish. I am originally from Egypt and moved to the United States in elementary school. Since then my academic journey has involved me being in situations where I didn't understand anything , to getting the highest marks on my assessments . This not only helps me become a better tutor, but it also serves as testament to the tangibility of academic goals no matter the starting grounds! I love learning and understanding and more than that I love sharing that joy of learning and understanding with others as they achieve their full potential!
I am currently a M. Eng. mechanical engineering graduate student at the University of California Berkeley. I completed my undergraduate degree the University of Illinois at Chicago, majoring in bioengineering. I have been tutoring other students since high school and also have experience teaching engineering in a classroom setting. I especially enjoy teaching subjects that have a stigma for being difficult or unattainable and strive to change that perception. My strengths are math, science and standardized test preparation.
I am an Environmental Biology major and Writing minor. Using my two interests, I find it easiest to help students learn complicated topics by being able to explain them simply and in your own words. I find that this way of learning is the best way to gain a full understanding. Difficult problems often have multiple ways of solving them. Figuring out the best way for each student to solve a problem can make anyone successful. In the near future I plan on attending medical school, and I look forward to helping other students be able to succeed in subjects that I feel passionate about.
I am Ankit Jajoo. I am enrolled in Duke University Class of 2022 studying neuroscience and computer science. STEM is my number one passion, while history is my number one interest. Humanities and STEM not only coexist, but work together often in life. While STEM provides the foundation for the future, humanities contributes to how it is used to advance humanity as a whole. I love biology, chemistry, and computers. It is so cool to see how all these tiny minute parts of the world interact to create you, me, and everything we touch. On the other hand, history is cool to see how societies interacted to create the present world. The past is never separate from us, but always influencing everything from the various countries to cities to the tiny villages all over the world. The world is a combination of all of this and it is my passion to understand the world. Other than just about education and information, I love teaching other people about stuff. I enjoy teaching all my friends some stuff, in return they teach me other stuff. Contrary to popular opinion, teaching is a two way street. I've learned a tremendous amount from students and I hope they learned a similar amount from me. Tutoring students in a field I enjoy such as STEM or history is a dream come true.
I am a proud graduate of Iowa State University where I studied to receive my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. After completing this degree I journeyed to the United Kingdom in order to obtain my Master of Science in Math and Finance. I spent the last year living in Colchester and studying at the University of Essex. Now, I have returned to the United States and am ready to share my knowledge from the world of Mathematics! I feel confident in virtually all areas of Math, but my favorite subsets include Linear Algebra and Graph Theory. These topics were at the forefront of my dissertation along with group theory while at the University of Essex. I have learned throughout my studies that mathematics is about much more than numbers and I hope to help students see the fascinating things that they are capable of achieving through math. When I am not working to become the next Fields Medalist, I enjoy playing Kendama; a Japanese wooden skill toy, riding my bicycle and following my favorite sports teams.
I am currently a Master's student at the Rochester Institute of Technology, finishing up a Computer Science degree. I am interested specifically in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning and have two years professional experience in the industry. I have been employed at companies in California, Pennsylvania, and Florida.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, with a BA in English Literature, and New York University, with an MA in Arts Administration. I truly enjoy learning so much that Ive studied various subjects at over 10 additional colleges across the United States and Europe, starting in high school! Im also a student of life, attending special seminars (like Landmark and Tony Robbins) whenever I get the chance. Over the past 15 years, Ive had the pleasure of teaching in many different settings. Ive been a museum educator, a classroom teacher (teaching either math, science, English or art), an education program manager, a leadership trainer (teaching a leadership curriculum through the arts), a yoga instructor, and a tutor. Because Im so passionate about learning, its a pleasure for me to inspire my students to discover their own passions and reach their goals. In my spare time, I enjoy world traveling, reading, yoga, stand-up paddle boarding, swimming, making art and exploring South Florida. Wherever your educational path takes you, I hope you enjoy the ride!
I am so happy that you have taken the initiative to get extra help with your learning goals. Regardless of your academic level or academic goals, I know that I can help you. Every learner is different and that is why I cater my teaching methods to suite your style of learning. I am an effective and results-driven communicator and I strive to make your strengths even stronger while also making your weaknesses, well, weaker! Let me know how I can help you!
I am currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science. Outside of tutoring, my full time career is in software development.
I am proud to say that the eleven-year-old Vietnamese girl and boy that I tutored for 5 years are both attending Medical school. In addition, I am proud to say that I speak, write and read in French, English, Spanish, Haitian Creole and Italian proficiently. Whenever I tell people that I speak French, they often assume that it is not my mother tongue language because I have no accent in English. I am always proud to say that I did not know how to speak English until I was 16 years of age. Learning a language is like cracking a secret code. Once you decode it, the treasure is yours.
I am a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I received my Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology with a focus in Cultural Anthropology and Minor in History. Prior to attending UCLA, I received an Associate of Arts in Communications Studies from Skyline College in San Bruno, California. In June 2018, after graduation from UCLA, I moved to Miami, Florida where I volunteered with the Americorps VISTA program, serving as the PeaceJam Coordinator at Miami Dade College. After my year of service, I stayed in Miami where I became a Middle School Language Arts teacher with Miami Dade County Public Schools. While I am an English teacher, and tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about History, Sociology, and of course Cultural Anthropology. However, I love teaching Language Arts as I believe literacy and teaching students to express themselves through written communication is imperative to success in the competitive academic and professional context they are entering. One responsibility I was given this year is helping my middle school students at Horace Mann Middle School prepare for the Florida State Assessment (FSA). In my experience helping struggling students prepare for this exam, we always seem to have the most fun dissecting prompts and excerpts while prepping for the reading and writing portions of the FSA. I am a firm proponent of education, especially in the humanities and social sciences believing these to be necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading novels, historical texts, or anything that pertains to interesting aspects of human culture. For fun, I enjoy traveling (both domestic and international), exploring Miami, and enjoying a nice cup of coffee.
I am currently graduating from School for Advanced Studies high school and Miami Dade College with my Associates in Art both simultaneously. I am going to continue my education at Carnegie Mellon University. I tutor my peers and anyone that needs help in my family. I have a pretty wide range of what I can teach because of all the different people that need help. I am also able to teach in different ways to make sure that the student understands and masters the materials given. I tutor in all types of math and am flexible with the type of math students need help with. On my free time I play the French Horn with my school band and hang out with family and friends.
I'm currently a student at Yale who has a fervent passion for teaching those around me! The best way to better the world is to educate and guide the younger. I love to read, write and discuss, so this job naturally works with my attributes! I look forward to helping your loved ones.
I am a graduate of The University of California, Los Angeles. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Women's Studies with a focus on Public Health. After graduation, I traveled and volunteered in rural Guatemala as an English tutor. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, cycling and playing soccer.
I am a graduate of The State University of New York at New Paltz and am currently working towards my masters at Southeastern University. I received a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with a minor in Mathematics and I am obtaining my Master's in Educational Leadership. Throughout the years I have worked in the classroom as an elementary teacher and then obtained my certification in Middle School Mathematics which allowed me to work in my current profession as a middle school mathematics teacher. I have also been tutoring for over 10 years and I specialize in test preparation, organization, mathematics, and SAT/ACT Mathematics preparation. In my tutoring sessions I provide detailed instruction and consistently check for understanding. I break mathematics down into obtainable small lessons to allow for student success. In my spare time, I enjoy the outdoors, exercise, reading, baking and even advancing my own learning.
I am a senior at Vanderbilt University studying English (Creative Writing) and Quantitative Methods. I currently tutor a wide range of subjects from elementary school reading and writing to ACT prep to college-level English and literature and also offer studying and organizational skills within academic coaching.
I am well-acquainted with and adept in instruction for various subjects. However, my favorites subjects are math and writing/literature/languages, albeit the latter is not conventionally thought of as one subject. In essence, I love to solve puzzles; each aforementioned subject entails figuring out how the constituents interact with one another while abiding by specific rules and, sometimes, exceptions.
I am a sophomore at the Georgia Institute of Technology and am working towards a major in Computer Engineering. I have been tutoring students of all ages and backgrounds in various math topics ranging from elementary school math to AP Calculus throughout high school.

I am also well versed in Physics and have spent 3 years taking the highest levels of physics courses. I love playing all sports (especially soccer) and enjoy playing the guitar in my free time as well.
I am a certified Math 5-9 Teacher in FL. I taught middle and high school for two years. I am a graduate of Florida State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Social Science with a focus in Public Administration and Sociology. After graduation, I took a gap year before graduate school to serve in AmeriCorps. I highly recommend it! I currently do photography and work at a startup. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math. I have worked with students in grades K-12. I cater to each student's individual learning style. In my experience, it is always rewarding seeing my students have that "aha moment" when they understand a concept or when their confidence and attitude towards a subject has changed from when we started. This in turn is reflected in their improved test scores and grades in the class. I am a firm believer in fully investing in my students to help them reach their highest potential.
I am a Master's level graduate in the biological sciences with an infectious enthusiasm for math, physics, biology, and chemistry.

Frequently Asked Questions
The first session is an opportunity for a tutor to understand your child's current skills, learning style, and specific areas where they need support. The tutor will ask questions, observe how your child approaches problems, and discuss goals with you. This helps create a personalized plan tailored to your child's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Tutors work with students across Jacksonville's two school districts and understand grade-level expectations in reading, math, writing, and other core subjects. They can support students using any curriculum and adapt their instruction to reinforce what's being taught in the classroom while filling specific gaps. This alignment ensures tutoring complements rather than conflicts with classroom learning.
Many elementary students struggle with foundational reading skills like phonics and fluency, basic math concepts like multiplication and fractions, or writing organization and grammar. Others face challenges with focus, confidence, or test anxiety. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify the root cause of these challenges and address them directly rather than moving forward with gaps.
In a classroom with an 18:1 student-teacher ratio, teachers must pace instruction for the whole group—some students get left behind while others aren't challenged enough. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring moves at your child's pace, focuses on their specific needs, and uses teaching methods that work best for how they learn. This targeted approach typically leads to faster skill development and greater confidence.
Tutors track progress through regular assessments, skill benchmarks, and observable improvements in classroom performance—like better grades, improved reading fluency, or increased math accuracy. You'll also notice changes in your child's confidence and willingness to tackle challenging work. Most families see meaningful progress within a few weeks of consistent tutoring.
Tutors who work with elementary students have expertise in foundational skills and child development. Many have teaching backgrounds, education degrees, or specialized training in reading intervention, math instruction, or other elementary subjects. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors whose qualifications and teaching style match your child's specific needs.
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students in grades K-5 with tutors who specialize in their grade level. Each grade has different expectations—kindergarten focuses on early literacy and number sense, while 5th grade introduces more complex reading comprehension and multi-step math problems. Tutors understand these developmental progressions and teach accordingly.
Many elementary tutors work across multiple subjects since the skills are interconnected—reading supports science and social studies, while math reasoning applies across subjects. You can connect with a tutor who specializes in your child's primary challenge, or one who can provide support across core subjects. This flexibility helps address your child's overall academic growth.
