I am a sophomore at Harvard University pursuing a concentration in computer science. I'm also interested in potentially going on to law school after my undergraduate studies. I have a wide range of interests but I spend most of my free time either reading, painting, listening to music or dragging my friends to interesting locations to take photographs. My favorite book genre is psychological thrillers and I like listening and singing along to almost all types of music.

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +64 Subjects

I'm a recent college graduate from the University of Chicago and young professional based in Washington, DC, and currently working in international development. I have substitute taught STEM and English to all levels of college-preparatory high schoolers. I also established a peer-to-peer tutoring and mentoring program at my former high school and developed curricula centered around standardized test preparation and college admissions. In college, I coordinated outreach to promising underrepresented minority students, developing and implementing seminars designed to guide them through the admissions process for top universities, bolster their chances of success, and connect them with resources aimed at increasing access and affordability. Among other things, I have a strong background and experience in various types of academic and professional writing. My stints with college classes and all sorts of professional organizations have equipped me with foundational skills in technical writing, strategic communication, blogging, and journalism that I'm always excited to pass on to the next generation of academic superstars! Hobbies: books, music, reading, writing, art

Emma

Calculus Tutor • +27 Subjects

I'm Emma. I'm a 2016 Northwestern University graduate currently working as an ESL classroom teacher. I'm a tutor because I love working individually with students, helping them understand material and grow more confident as learners! I majored in History and French at Northwestern and have worked for over a year as a classroom and private English teacher. I am qualified to teach English as a second language, French language, and all levels of academic writing. I'm also a \*huge\* standardized test geek--I'm here to help you prepare for tests like the SAT, LSAT, and GRE by helping you understand the logic of the test and the similarities among question types. My LSAT score puts me in the top half of one percent of all test takers--I have the skills to get you in the same range!

Scott

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +25 Subjects

I'm Scotty! I am currently a senior at Harvard College pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Sociology with a secondary (minor) in Theater, Dance, and Media. I know full well that struggling with course material is tricky to navigate; I have not always felt comfortable going straight to the professor or teacher to ask for help. That's why I love tutoring - I aim to be a helpful resource for students, blending the toughness of a coach with the warmth and comfort of a friend to provide the best atmosphere for those I tutor. Hobbies: art, books, dancing, reading, music, writing, singing

I am a recent graduate of Harvard College, graduating with a degree of High Honors in the History of Science. I am also anticipating entering dental school this coming Fall at Columbia College of Dental Medicine. In this interim year, I would love the opportunity to continue tutoring -- I have tutored all throughout college in a multitude of subjects, and this rewarding experience has not only helped the students, but has also allowed me the chance to myself better learn how to communicate with students of all ages and backgrounds.

Rebecca

10th Grade Math Tutor • +53 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelors of Arts in English and Philosophy. At Notre Dame, I worked as a tutor at the University Writing Center, helping both undergraduate and graduate students with their writing. I also tutored local middle school students in reading and writing to prepare them for standardized tests. I had the opportunity to live in Spain for 6 months, where I became fluent in Spanish and developed a love for tutoring English language learners. Since graduation, I have worked with students at Midtown Educational Foundation and other extracurricular programs, and am currently pursuing a Masters of Arts in Teaching English. I tutor a wide range of subjects, although I am most passionate about English, Spanish, and Writing. I am an advocate of student-centered tutoring, and my goal is to support and guide students so that they have the satisfaction and confidence of knowing how to think through a problem and reach the correct answer. In my free time, I love to bake, read, play soccer, and act in plays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Holyoke's 19 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Holyoke Public Schools district or another local school, we can match them with a tutor who understands Massachusetts curriculum standards and can help them succeed in their specific coursework.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 20.9:1 in Holyoke schools, many students benefit from the focused attention that personalized 1-on-1 instruction provides. A tutor can work at your student's pace, address their specific learning gaps, and reinforce concepts in ways that may be harder to do in a larger classroom setting.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with Massachusetts learning standards and state assessments. Whether your student is preparing for MCAS, working toward proficiency in core subjects, or building skills in specific areas, tutors can align their instruction with what Holyoke schools expect and what the state requires.

During the first session, the tutor will get to know your student—their learning style, current challenges, and goals. They'll assess where your student stands in their coursework and discuss what support would be most helpful. This foundation allows the tutor to create a personalized plan that fits your student's needs and schedule.

Students in Holyoke typically seek tutoring in core subjects like math, English language arts, science, and social studies, as well as test preparation for MCAS and college entrance exams. We also work with students on specific challenges—whether that's building reading comprehension, mastering algebra concepts, or preparing for advanced coursework.

Varsity Tutors offers flexible pricing options to work with different budgets. We can discuss your needs and connect you with tutors at various experience levels. Many families find that personalized tutoring is an investment in their student's academic success, and we're happy to talk through options that fit your situation.

Getting started is simple—just tell us about your student's grade level, what subjects they need help with, and what you're hoping to achieve. We'll match them with a tutor who's a good fit, and you can begin personalized instruction on a schedule that works for your family.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have subject expertise and teaching experience. Many have backgrounds in education, hold relevant degrees, or have demonstrated mastery in their subject areas. Each tutor is selected to provide quality instruction that supports your student's learning goals.
