I am not as interested in whether students know these concepts; as I am in if they can put them to critical use. My teaching philosophy has both traditional and radical roots, and rests, not only on my being an expert in my field, but on my being a partner in learning with my students.

Samuel

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am an undergraduate student at Harvard University! I am studying history and linguistics, and plan to teach English abroad for a few years post-graduation. Though I enjoy tutoring a wide range of subjects, I have the most experience helping students with their writing. I would love to help you improve your writing skills in general, or to look at specific essays or papers. I also enjoy tutoring English/ Language Arts more broadly, including ESL, and math. I do hold a TEFL certificate. I try to keep lessons with students interesting, because I think it's really hard to learn when you don't enjoy what you're learning! I hope to work with you to develop lesson plans that are curated to your goals and interests.

I'm a graduate student at MIT. I started tutoring from my first year of undergrad because I had such wonderful experiences when I was in high school learning with friends and upperclassmen. I am personally a social learner- I learn best when I'm talking and wrestling with concepts out loud and in a group. When I can express myself coherently, I know I have mastered the material. Hobbies: reading, music, writing, painting, art, books

Marisa

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a senior at MIT majoring in Writing with a specialization in Digital Media. I have also completed a minor in Business Management. As one of ten writing majors at a school full of people pursuing science and technology rather than humanities subjects, I have taken a default position as tutor for anyone struggling with any writing assignments. I have helped fellow college students on a wide variety assignments ranging from analytic papers on race in the media, to papers on scientific theories, to scholarship essays. In high school I was a Link Crew tutor for three years, making myself available for tutoring sessions after school for whatever subject students required help in. Hobbies: books, music, art, travel, reading, writing

Theodora

Middle School Math Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a graduate of Emory University, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I then received a Master of Science from Johns Hopkins University where I focused on Biotechnology. I am currently pursuing my M.D. in Boston, MA. During my time in graduate school, I tutored middle school and high school students in science and math. I love tutoring science, especially health sciences as I am in school to become a physician. I also enjoy teaching math and I find it to be one of the most rewarding subjects to watch a student grow to understand. Throughout my academic career, I have taken the SAT, GRE, and MCAT so I am especially passionate about test preparation.

Vanessa

Calculus Tutor • +20 Subjects

I am a graduate of Harvard University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Social Studies with a focus in food policy and law. During my undergraduate studies I spent my time in political organizations and in research, teaching fellowships on political philosophy at Harvard Effective Altruism and serving as a Visiting Researcher in food policy at the University of Cambridge. After graduating, I spent time as a researcher in political science and history and mentored students working towards attending top schools in the US and UK, providing one-on-one help with applications and developing seminars on topics like Sociology and English. Most recently, I have started a non-profit organization in Ecuador focused on educating families about healthy cooking and providing nutritional assistance. At the same time, I am excited to continue pursuing my passion for teaching and helping students navigate subjects like History, English Literature, ESL, Spanish, and Standardized Tests like the ACT, AP, and IB tests. I believe that the knowledge young people receive in primary and secondary education is the ultimate individual enrichment; an essential part of understanding who they are and a key to seeing who they may become. In my spare time, I walk, read history books like Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals, and listen to music like Led Zeppelin and Lana del Rey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Marlborough's 12 schools and 4 school districts with tutors who understand the local curriculum and academic expectations. Whether your student attends a elementary, middle, or high school in the area, we can match them with an expert tutor who's familiar with their school's standards and teaching approach.

Massachusetts has rigorous academic standards, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction is proven to help students master grade-level concepts more deeply. Tutors work with Marlborough students on the specific skills tested in MCAS and other state assessments, breaking down challenging material and building confidence in core subjects like math, ELA, and science.

Marlborough students typically seek help in math (especially algebra and geometry transitions), English language arts, and test preparation for MCAS and college entrance exams. We also work with students on science, foreign languages, and subject-specific challenges that arise as they progress through middle and high school.

The first session is a chance for the tutor to understand your student's learning style, current academic level, and specific goals. They'll assess where your student is strong and where they need support, then create a personalized plan that addresses those areas and builds on existing strengths.

While Marlborough schools maintain a solid 12:1 student-teacher ratio, personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's unique learning needs, pace, and questions. This individualized attention helps students who learn differently, need to catch up, or want to accelerate ahead of their peers.

The right frequency depends on your student's goals and current challenges. Some students benefit from weekly sessions for ongoing support, while others prefer intensive help before MCAS or during difficult units. We can help you find a schedule that fits your family's needs and accelerates your student's progress.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and teaching experience. Many have backgrounds in education, subject matter expertise, or professional experience in their fields, and all are vetted to ensure they can effectively support Marlborough students.

Simply tell us about your student's needs, grade level, and goals, and we'll match them with a tutor who's a great fit. You can discuss your student's schedule and learning preferences, then begin personalized instruction designed to help them succeed in their Marlborough school.
