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
Banke

I am currently working on getting my Master's in Mental Health Counseling at Adelphi University. I have worked as a school counselor for the past 9 years. I am a life-long learner and am interested in helping others deal with their academic difficulties and become excited about their own learning. I am passionate about English, Literature, History, and Latin and helping others improve in these areas.
Mark
Geometry Tutor • +20 Subjects
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.
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
Nicholas
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +76 Subjects
I am originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, but have traveled and lived all across the country. I am currently pursuing a degree in molecular biology and biochemistry and am currently an intern with NASA! I am a passionate tutor with a love for teaching and experience in a wide variety of subjects, K-12, collegiate, and at the standard, honors, advanced, and AP levels. I am particularly excited to help out in SAT/ACT standardized testing and college admissions help, which I have some specialized experience with. I have worked as a tutor with contracted companies and freelance for many years, and have loved the experience I've been lucky to share with students and their families. Kindness first is my most important value! I consider myself rather flexible and would love to help create a plan that works best for you and your family! Outside of tutoring, I am also an avid outdoors person and sports lover. I can't wait to meet you and get started soon!
Sarah
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +35 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.
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
Nathaniel
Robotics Tutor • +9 Subjects
I am a student at Cornell University pursuing a degree in Computer Science. My passion for tutoring stems from a desire to empower students with the tools they need to approach challenging material with confidence and curiosity. I know firsthand how powerful it is to have someone break down complex topics into manageable steps, and I aim to provide that same clarity and support for others. I've worked with students in both academic and outreach settings. I have mentored high schoolers in robotics and programming, helped peers grasp fundamental concepts in math and science, and served as a debate coach, where I guided students in building arguments, analyzing policy, and developing strong communication skills. I enjoy building a connection with students and tailoring my explanations to how they learn best, whether that means using visual aids, real-world examples, or interactive problem-solving. I tutor subjects in math, science, and computer programming. My favorite areas to teach are computer science and physics because they allow students to see immediate cause and effect, sparking creativity and deeper understanding. I believe in a tutoring style that is encouraging, collaborative, and grounded in patience. Every student can learn; it is just a matter of finding the right path together. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy building electronics projects, exploring new technologies, and learning how policy and ethics intersect with engineering. Whether it is guiding students through a tough homework set or helping them discover a new academic passion, I am committed to making the learning process both effective and enjoyable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Waldorf's 23 schools with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a Charles County public school or another local institution, we match them with tutors who understand the specific curriculum and academic standards they're working with.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly effective for helping students master Maryland's rigorous standards at their own pace. Tutors working with Waldorf students focus on the specific learning objectives and assessments required by Maryland's curriculum, whether that's preparing for state standardized tests, strengthening foundational skills, or advancing ahead in core subjects.
Waldorf students most frequently seek tutoring in math, English language arts, and science—subjects that build foundational skills for success in higher-level courses. We also work with many students preparing for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, as well as those taking AP or honors classes who want to strengthen their understanding before exams.
During the first session, the tutor focuses on understanding your student's current level, learning style, and specific academic goals. They'll assess which concepts need reinforcement and create a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs and the pace that works best for them—this foundation ensures every future session builds toward real progress.
While Waldorf's average student-teacher ratio of 16.1:1 is reasonable for classroom settings, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring provides something fundamentally different: undivided attention focused entirely on your student's unique learning needs. Research consistently shows that individualized instruction allows tutors to identify knowledge gaps, adjust pacing in real-time, and use teaching methods that match how your student learns best—something that's difficult to achieve in any classroom setting.
Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's specific needs. We offer flexible scheduling and can work with different budgets—whether you need intensive support for a few months or ongoing help throughout the school year. Contact us to discuss your situation and get matched with a tutor whose rates align with your needs.
Yes, we connect Waldorf students with tutors experienced in preparing for SAT, ACT, AP exams, and Maryland state assessments. Test prep tutoring focuses on both content mastery and test-taking strategies, helping students build confidence and improve their scores through targeted practice and personalized feedback.
Simply tell us about your student's grade level, subject, and goals, and we'll match them with an experienced tutor who fits their needs. Most students have their first session within a few days, and you can adjust the schedule as needed to find what works best for your family.
