Expert Tutor
I'm a freshman at the University of Chicago studying Fundamentals and Political Science with a 3.9 GPA. I earned a 36 on ACT Reading and a 35 on ACT English, and I specialize in reading comprehension, writing, grammar, and humanities subjects. I began tutoring in high school and founded an after-school tutoring program to support younger students academically. Through that experience, I learned how to break down complex material, adapt to different learning styles, and help students build confidence alongside skills. As a tutor, I focus on teaching students how to thinkhow to read closely, organize ideas clearly, and approach challenging material with confidence. My goal is to make learning feel accessible and empowering, not intimidating.

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.
Michael
Calculus Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am a junior at Columbia University double majoring in Financial Engineering and Computer Science. Since high school, I have extensively tutored French students for standardized testing (SAT/ACT). This helped me bridge the obvious language gap whilst breaking down the tests into their fundamentals to better grasp the strategy behind them. I firmly believe in learning-by-doing which is why I encourage all my students to try first before revising their methods and understanding of the subjects. I am fluent in French, Arabic, Hebrew, and English which I believe helps me communicate the very essence of the subject as opposed to a numbered list of tasks which might not help all types of students. In my spare time, I enjoy catching up on the Financial Times, trying my hand at new languages and designing clothing. Hobbies: reading, music, writing, art, books
Sarah
Elementary School Math Tutor • +7 Subjects
I'm a certified K-4 educator with five years of classroom experience in Philadelphia public and charter schools, and I hold a LETRS certification in structured literacy. I currently teach kindergarten and coach literacy tutors across multiple schools, so I know both what good instruction looks like and how to explain it clearly to someone who's still learning. I specialize in early literacy and foundational skills, but I'm equally comfortable supporting elementary students across subjects. My approach is warm and high-expectation: I build genuine relationships with kids while holding them to real standards. I've worked with students across a wide range of needs, including emergent readers and multilingual learners. I tutor privately and love the one-on-one format. It's where I get to be most responsive to what a specific kid actually needs.
Sarah
AP Biology Tutor • +1 Subjects
I recently graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a Bachelor's of Science in Neuroscience. As a prospective medical student, I have and will continue to spend a lot of time in the classroom, understanding what makes teaching and learning most effective. I work to integrate my studies into my tutoring, focusing on giving meaningful examples to help drive complex topics home and provide plenty of opportunities for repetition to increase retention. I have a few years of formal tutoring experience, primarily in middle school and high school math, though my focus and interests have shifted since then. Now, my expertise lies in neuroscience, MCAT prep, and all the relevant class material included in those specialties (biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, physics, etc). I've spent most of my education informally tutoring those around me. Whether it was a teacher's request to help explain a concept to my peers or taking the initiative to help out my peers with challenging subjects, I've had plenty of practice working with a variety of subjects and students. I hope to help students not only learn material but understand how they best learn and study, raising their confidence and comfortability inside and outside of the classroom.
Mariana
Expert Tutor
I have been passionate about tutoring since high school, where I began by helping younger students excel in math and science. My love for teaching grew through my involvement with programs like Hatch Tutors in college, where I worked one-on-one with an underprivileged kindergartener to improve their English skills. As a science camp counselor, I had the opportunity to teach children aged 3-12, making complex scientific concepts fun and accessible. Currently pursuing a degree in Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton, I have a strong foundation in math, physics, and chemistry. I enjoy tutoring these subjects, particularly physics and chemistry, as I love sharing my enthusiasm for science. I believe that every student has a unique learning style, and my approach focuses on getting to know my students so I can tailor lessons to their individual needs and interests. I strive to make tutoring sessions engaging and relevant by connecting academic content to real-life examples. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running and reading, which help me stay balanced and energized. I look forward to helping students succeed by providing personalized and passionate support in their academic journeys.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Towson's 17 schools with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a Baltimore County public school or a private institution in the area, we can match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum and academic expectations.
Maryland has specific learning standards for each grade level and subject, and tutors work with students to master these benchmarks through personalized instruction. With Towson's 12.2:1 student-teacher ratio, personalized tutoring provides the focused, one-on-one attention that helps students fill gaps and excel in their coursework, whether they're preparing for state assessments or working toward stronger grades.
Towson students frequently seek help with math, reading comprehension, and writing—skills that are foundational across all Maryland standards. We also work with many students preparing for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, as well as those taking AP and honors courses that require deeper mastery of subject material.
The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's learning style, current academic level, and specific goals. They'll assess where your student stands, identify areas for improvement, and create a personalized plan—all while building rapport and making sure the tutoring approach is the right fit.
Many students show improvement in confidence and understanding within the first few weeks, though academic results like grade improvements often become visible within 4-8 weeks of consistent tutoring. The timeline depends on your student's starting point, the subject, and how frequently they meet with their tutor—consistency is key to seeing meaningful progress.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have expertise in their subject areas and experience working with students at various levels. Many tutors have teaching backgrounds, advanced degrees, or deep subject knowledge—we carefully match students with tutors whose qualifications align with their specific academic needs.
Yes, tutoring can be scheduled around your family's calendar. Whether your student needs help after school, on weekends, or during the week, Varsity Tutors works with you to find a tutoring schedule that fits your lifestyle and your student's needs.
