I am passionate about teaching and tutoring and I thoroughly enjoy helping students gain an understanding and a drive for their studies. I have a long history of working with students of all grade levels and abilities (elementary school through college), and I have a good understanding of strategies to excel in both general academics and standardized tests.
Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.
Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Hobbies: photography, travel, reading, music, writing, running, art, books, traveling
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing
Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects students across Hilo's 18 schools with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a public school, charter school, or is homeschooled, we match them with tutors who understand Hawaii's curriculum standards and can provide targeted support tailored to their specific needs.
Hawaii's education standards emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, and mastery of core subjects—and personalized 1-on-1 instruction is one of the most effective ways to help students reach these benchmarks. Tutors in Hilo work with students on Hawaii-aligned curriculum in math, reading, science, and other subjects, filling knowledge gaps and building confidence so students can excel in their classrooms and on state assessments.
While Hilo schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of 14.2:1, which is reasonable, individual students still benefit enormously from one-on-one attention focused entirely on their learning style and pace. A tutor can spend uninterrupted time addressing specific struggles—whether it's test anxiety, a tricky math concept, or building reading fluency—in ways that complement classroom instruction.
Students in Hilo seek tutoring most often in math (especially algebra and geometry), reading and writing, science, and test preparation for the SAT and ACT. We also connect students with tutors for Hawaiian language, foreign language support, and AP/honors course preparation. Whatever your student's academic challenge, Varsity Tutors can match them with an expert tutor.
The first session is all about understanding your student's strengths, challenges, and learning goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically, discuss what they're working on in class, and identify specific areas to focus on. This foundation helps create a personalized learning plan that moves your student forward from day one.
Many students show improvement in confidence and understanding within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring. Measurable academic gains—like better test scores or improved grades—often emerge within 4-8 weeks, depending on the subject, your student's starting point, and how frequently they meet with their tutor. Consistent, focused 1-on-1 instruction compounds over time.
Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and teaching experience. Many tutors have education degrees, professional expertise in their fields, or years of tutoring experience. Every tutor is vetted to ensure they can provide high-quality, personalized instruction that meets your student's needs.
Tutoring schedules are personalized to fit your family's life. Whether your student needs weekly sessions, intensive help before a big test, or flexible scheduling around sports and activities, Varsity Tutors works with you to find a rhythm that keeps your student on track without adding stress.
