Anu
BA Boston University
2+ Years Tutoring

Hello! My name is Anu, and I'm passionate about helping students build confidence and reach their academic goals. I earned my Master of Public Policy from George Washington University and my Bachelor's degree in Political Science & Philosophy. Along the way, I've developed strong skills in research, writing, critical thinking, and clear communicationskills that I love sharing with my students. I've worked in roles that required breaking down complex topics into easy-to-understand steps, which has shaped my tutoring style to be supportive, patient, and tailored to each learner's needs. I know firsthand that every student learns differently, so I take the time to understand how you learn best and create a plan that helps you not only succeed on assignments and tests, but also feel confident in your abilities. Whether it's writing, reading comprehension, social studies, or test prep, I bring an encouraging, approachable attitude to each session. I believe learning works best when it's interactive and enjoyable, and I'm dedicated to helping my students feel capable and motivated.

Cassidy

2+ Years Tutoring

Hi! My name is Cassidy - I'm a college student, studying mathematics and secondary education. Yes... I like math. It hasn't always come naturally though - and if that's you that's normal! I've been the beneficiary of incredible math teachers who have believed in me and stretched me. I light up when sitting with students one on one, entering their worldview, and pursuing them until they begin to believe too that they can do math well!

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

Charles
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

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!

Whether your student attends a Montgomery County Public School or a private institution in the area, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can help them succeed.

Maryland has specific learning standards across core subjects, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction is proven to help students master grade-level content more effectively. Tutors work with your student on their individual gaps and learning pace, ensuring they're prepared for state assessments and ready for the next level. This targeted approach is especially valuable in a district like Gaithersburg where class sizes average 12.8 students per teacher.

We also work with students on AP courses, honors-level content, and foundational skills. Varsity Tutors can match your student with a tutor in virtually any subject or level they're studying.

The first session is focused on understanding your student's goals, learning style, and current challenges. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically, discuss what they want to improve, and create a personalized plan moving forward. This foundation ensures that every session after that is tailored to your student's specific needs.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and teaching experience. Tutors are vetted for their expertise and ability to work with students at different levels—from elementary through college preparation. Many have backgrounds in education, have taught in schools, or have deep experience in their subject areas.
