9+ Years Tutoring

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!

Engineering programs demand clear, precise writing — lab reports, technical proposals, research summaries — and that training sharpened Wanqi's ability to teach the fundamentals of strong prose. She digs into thesis construction, paragraph organization, and evidence integration, making sure students can articulate an argument on paper as clearly as they can in conversation. Her 4.8 rating speaks to how well that structured approach translates across essay types.

Matthew
MS University of South Florida-Main Campus • BA Johns Hopkins University

Strong English skills come down to two things: reading critically and writing clearly — and Matthew tackles both by connecting them.

His experience with college essays and literature gives him a practical toolkit for everything from thesis development to close reading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Orlando students often struggle with reading comprehension, essay writing, and grammar mechanics—especially as texts become more complex in middle and high school. With an average student-teacher ratio of 16.9:1 across Orange County schools, many students don't get individualized feedback on their writing or personalized strategies for tackling challenging texts. Personalized tutoring addresses these gaps by targeting each student's specific weaknesses, whether that's analyzing theme, constructing thesis statements, or mastering punctuation rules.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand the standards taught across Orange County, Osceola, and Seminole County schools—from foundational phonics and fluency in elementary grades to AP Literature and composition in high school. Tutors work with your student's specific curriculum, whether that's preparing for state assessments, tackling assigned novels and texts, or building skills that transfer across all English classes. They also stay current with evolving standards, so instruction is always aligned with what your student's school expects.

One-on-one instruction allows tutors to provide detailed, actionable feedback on every draft—something that's difficult in a classroom setting. Tutors work with your student to strengthen specific areas like organization, voice, evidence integration, and revision skills, rather than teaching writing in a one-size-fits-all way. Over time, students develop confidence and independence in their writing process, which translates to better grades and stronger college-ready skills.

Personalized tutoring tackles reading comprehension by teaching students active reading strategies—like annotation, questioning, and connecting ideas—tailored to their reading level and interests. Tutors can slow down on challenging texts, build vocabulary in context, and help students understand how authors use literary devices to create meaning. Regular practice with guided support builds both comprehension skills and reading confidence, which encourages students to engage more deeply with texts.

Many students show measurable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, especially in areas like essay grades or test scores. However, the timeline depends on your student's starting point and how frequently they meet with a tutor—weekly sessions build momentum faster than monthly check-ins. The key is identifying specific skill gaps early and practicing them repeatedly, which personalized instruction makes possible.

Yes—tutors help students master the specific skills tested on state assessments, the SAT (which includes Evidence-Based Reading & Writing), the ACT (English and Reading sections), and AP exams like AP Literature and AP Language. Personalized prep focuses on your student's weak areas, whether that's grammar rules, reading speed, or analyzing arguments, rather than generic test prep. Tutors also teach test-taking strategies that help students approach passages and questions with confidence.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have expertise in your student's specific grade level and English focus—whether that's elementary reading, middle school essay writing, high school literature, or AP preparation. You can discuss your student's learning style, goals, and schedule to ensure a good match. Most students benefit from meeting with a tutor who understands both the subject deeply and how to teach it in a way that clicks for them personally.

In a classroom of 20+ students, teachers can't provide individualized feedback on every essay or spend extra time on concepts a specific student finds confusing. Personalized tutoring lets your student move at their own pace, revisit difficult concepts without feeling rushed, and get detailed guidance on their own writing and reading challenges. This focused attention is especially valuable in English, where improvement comes from practice, feedback, and targeted skill-building that's hard to replicate in a group setting.
