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!

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

Yes. Varsity Tutors connects students from across Honolulu's 105 schools with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in Central Honolulu, the windward side, or anywhere in between, we can match them with a tutor who understands Hawaii's curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.

Tutors working with Honolulu students are familiar with Hawaii's standards across core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to target specific standards your student needs to master, filling gaps and building confidence in areas where classroom instruction alone may not be enough.

Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific challenges. The tutor will ask about recent coursework, test scores, and academic goals to create a personalized plan. This foundation helps ensure every subsequent session is targeted and effective.

While Honolulu's average student-teacher ratio of 14.1:1 is reasonable, individual students still benefit enormously from 1-on-1 attention. Personalized tutoring allows a tutor to adapt instruction to your student's exact pace and learning style, spend time on their specific weak areas, and provide immediate feedback—something that's difficult even in smaller classroom settings.

Varsity Tutors connects Honolulu students with tutors across a wide range of subjects including Math, English, Science, Social Studies, Hawaiian language, test prep (SAT, ACT, AP exams), and many others. Whether your student needs support with core academics or specialized subjects, we can find the right match.

Many students see improvement within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject and how long the student has been struggling. Personalized instruction helps students build foundational skills and regain confidence. We recommend starting as soon as you notice your student needs support to prevent gaps from widening.

Yes. Varsity Tutors connects Honolulu students with tutors experienced in SAT and ACT preparation. Whether your student is aiming to improve their composite score, focus on specific sections, or prepare for test day, personalized tutoring can help them develop strategies and build the skills needed to perform at their best.

Pricing varies based on the tutor's expertise, subject, and your student's needs. We work with families across Honolulu to find tutoring solutions that fit their budget. Contact us to discuss your situation and learn about options that work for your family.
