Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing
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

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!

Frequently Asked Questions
Greenlandic is a polysynthetic language with highly complex morphology—words are built by stacking multiple suffixes that convey meaning that English expresses in entire phrases. For example, a single word can contain subject, object, tense, and mood all at once. Learners struggle most with mastering the suffix system, understanding when to use ergative vs. absolutive case marking, and recognizing how word formation changes based on context. A tutor experienced in Greenlandic can break down these patterns systematically and help you internalize the logic behind suffix combinations rather than memorizing in isolation.
Greenlandic has significant regional variation—Kalaallisut (West Greenlandic) is the official standard, but Tunumiit (East Greenlandic) and Inuktun (North Greenlandic) have distinct phonology, vocabulary, and grammar patterns. Many learners start with Kalaallisut but encounter challenges when exposed to dialect speakers or authentic media. A skilled tutor can help you understand which dialect you're learning, explain key differences, and build confidence navigating variation rather than treating it as confusion.
Greenlandic has sounds and sound patterns unfamiliar to English speakers, including uvular consonants (q sounds), gemination (doubled consonants that change meaning), and vowel length distinctions that are phonemic. Many learners struggle with the uvular fricative and approximant, the distinction between short and long vowels, and rapid consonant clusters. Tutoring with someone fluent in Greenlandic allows you to receive real-time feedback on pronunciation, practice minimal pairs that highlight these distinctions, and develop the muscle memory needed for clear, intelligible speech.
Native speakers of Greenlandic speak quickly, use extensive inflectional changes that alter word shape mid-sentence, and rely heavily on context and cultural references unfamiliar to learners. The polysynthetic structure means you can't rely on word-by-word translation—you need to recognize morphological chunks and understand how suffixes modify meaning in real time. Tutors can scaffold your listening skills by starting with slower speech, isolating morphological patterns, using authentic materials at your level, and teaching you to anticipate common suffix combinations so you can parse speech more fluidly.
Unlike widely taught languages, Greenlandic has fewer published textbooks, online courses, and practice resources available globally. This scarcity makes self-study frustrating and leaves learners without enough varied input to build fluency. Experienced tutors bridge this gap by creating customized materials, providing live conversation practice, recommending authentic Greenlandic media (radio, news, music), and adapting teaching to your specific goals—whether that's conversational fluency, reading literature, or professional communication. They also help you navigate the materials that do exist and explain cultural context that textbooks often skip.
Greenlandic verbs are notoriously intricate—they conjugate for person, number, tense, mood, and aspect, and the suffixes interact in ways that seem unpredictable at first. Learners often feel overwhelmed trying to memorize conjugation tables without understanding the underlying patterns. A tutor helps by teaching you the core suffix rules, showing you how different combinations create meaning, and using frequent, varied practice with verbs in context rather than isolated drills. Pattern recognition and repeated exposure to real usage are far more effective than memorization alone.
Reaching professional-level fluency in Greenlandic generally requires 600-750 hours of focused study, similar to other complex languages. However, conversational basics—ordering food, introducing yourself, basic questions—can develop in 100-150 hours with consistent practice. Your timeline depends on your starting point, how frequently you study, and whether you have regular conversation practice. Tutoring accelerates progress by providing personalized feedback, keeping you accountable, and ensuring your study time targets your specific weak areas rather than wasting effort on material you've already mastered.
Look for tutors who are native speakers of Greenlandic or have lived and studied extensively in Greenland—they understand the language's nuances, regional variation, and cultural context that non-native speakers miss. They should have teaching experience (not just fluency), understand common learner mistakes, and be able to explain grammar clearly in English. It's also valuable if they have experience with your specific goal, whether that's business communication, academic study, or conversational travel fluency. Varsity Tutors connects you with qualified tutors who meet these standards and can tailor instruction to your level and objectives.
