Alex

Elementary Math Tutor • +26 Subjects

I am a public school reading teacher in the elementary grades. I have a passion for educating young people and guiding them to academic success, either in or outside of the classroom. I have experience as a classroom teacher and a private tutor, in subjects that range from Reading and Writing to History and French. In my opinion, the path to obtaining a good education is formed by hard work, diligence, persistence, and an open mind. I work on a daily basis to instill these qualities in my students and tutees. I also believe that forming meaningful relationships with my students creates an environment in which learning is the goal. In my spare time, I enjoy running, golf, reading, cooking, and spending time with family and friends.

Max

Calculus 3 Tutor • +14 Subjects

I am currently an Undergraduate Freshman at Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) studying Biomedical Engineering on a Pre-Medical track. I tutor mostly math-related subjects, such as Calculus and Linear Algebra. I push hard in my personal work to gain a strong, conceptual backing for almost all subjects, and am able to help others efficiently with this. Understanding material conceptually, rather than analytically, is vital to being able to think and apply knowledge. This is my learning and teaching philosophy. I am patient and thorough; I am caring and understanding. I look forward to our first session! Hobbies: reading, writing, art, books, music

Lee

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +73 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Maryland, with degrees in physics, astronomy, and studio art. During my time at university I was a member of the Physic Education Research group, conducting studies into the best methods of math and physics pedagogy. Although I am most accomplished in physical science education, my methods are applicable to all kinds of science. I have also studied history and literature extensively as a matter of personal passion. My goals as a tutor reach beyond simply grasping the material at the level which it is presented--I aim to give students the intellectual and emotional tools to grasp underlying principles of any field, and the confidence to believe that this is something they can achieve under their own power. In my spare time, I write fiction and paint, and I love the outdoors. Hobbies: art, travel, outdoors, books, writing, reading, music, painting

Straley

AP Statistics Tutor • +255 Subjects

I hold a Master's degree from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a Bachelor's degree from Johns Hopkins University. I tutored GED math for 3 years in college, so I have experience breaking down concepts for students with a variety of learning styles. I've also informally tutored other students in my math and science classes. My favorite part of working with students is seeing people's faces light up when they understand a tough concept. In my free time, I enjoy reading, walking, dancing, and listening to music.

I love to teach. I love young minds and fresh brains. Those are just like clean sheets of papers I can draw anything I like.

I am looking forward to meeting students who need my help.

Juan

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a post-baccalaureate student at the University of Pennsylvania. Because I see myself primarily as a philologist, I am studying in order to enter a Ph.D program. I believe that language is one of the primary factors in shaping how we, as individuals, think and present our ideas to the world. I am also a proponent of teaching Classical languages such as Latin and Ancient Greek to students in high school because these languages require the development of analytic capabilities which are sometimes lacking in other more memory-oriented subjects. Furthermore, my education in the Classics does not only focus on linguistics but also on history, mythology, and culture. I studied abroad in Rome for five months in the Spring semester of 2011 through the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies. During my time in Rome, I learned Italian, got to see landmarks of antiquity such as the Roman Forum, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Syracuse, Baiae, and see Medieval Italy through the artworks of Michelangelo and Bernini. Consequentially, I have a strong grasp of historical occurrences in Europe from antiquity to contemporary society. As a tutor, I intend to give a holistic and comprehensive approach to learning new subjects. Hobbies: reading, music, writing, art, books

I love working with all students, no matter their experiences and backgrounds.

I hope to instill the love of learning and growth in all of my students and those that I serve.

I am a passionate problem-solver but patient and flexible with my teaching pace. In terms of tutoring style, I like to prepare a comprehensive review of the topics students are struggling with. I also like to bring in outside resources and review questions that mirror the material so students have more practice to fully master the material.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Laurel's 25 schools with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in the city proper or surrounding areas, we match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum and Maryland's educational standards. This means your student gets support tailored to their specific school's expectations and pacing.

Maryland has specific learning standards across subjects and grade levels, and personalized tutoring helps students master these benchmarks at their own pace. Tutors working with Laurel students focus on the exact skills and content outlined in Maryland's curriculum frameworks, whether that's literacy standards, math progressions, or science competencies. This targeted approach ensures students aren't just keeping up—they're building a strong foundation aligned with state expectations.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 13.8:1 in Laurel schools, classroom teachers are managing many students with varying needs. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills that gap by giving your student dedicated attention focused entirely on their learning style, pace, and specific challenges. This individualized approach helps students who need extra support catch up or those ready to accelerate move ahead without waiting for the rest of the class.

Laurel students typically seek help with math and reading comprehension in elementary years, then move toward algebra, geometry, and standardized test prep in middle and high school. We also see strong demand for science tutoring, particularly as students prepare for Maryland's science assessments and AP exams. English language support is another key area, reflecting Laurel's diverse community and the importance of strong writing and communication skills.

The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their strengths, challenges, learning style, and specific academic goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands in their current coursework or subject area, ask about what's working and what isn't in the classroom, and discuss what success looks like for your family. From there, they'll create a personalized plan that builds week to week, keeping you updated on progress.

Yes, we connect students with tutors experienced in preparing for Maryland assessments, SAT (which ranges from 400-1600, with a national average around 1050), ACT, AP exams, and other standardized tests. Tutors develop customized prep strategies based on your student's baseline performance and target score, focusing on both content mastery and test-taking strategies. Many Laurel students benefit from starting test prep 3-6 months before their exam date to build confidence and skills.

Simply share information about your student's grade level, subject needs, and learning goals, and we'll match them with an experienced tutor who's a good fit. Most families schedule their first session within a few days, and you'll have flexibility to adjust the schedule as needed. We handle the matching process so you can focus on supporting your student's success.

Tutors connected through Varsity Tutors are experienced educators and subject experts who understand how to teach effectively 1-on-1. Many have classroom teaching experience, advanced degrees in their subject areas, or proven track records helping students master challenging material. We focus on finding tutors who not only know their subject deeply but also connect well with your student's learning style and needs.
