Tony

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Matthew

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Melrose's 10 schools with expert tutors. Whether your student attends an elementary, middle, or high school in the Melrose Public Schools district, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum expectations and Massachusetts learning standards.

Massachusetts has rigorous academic standards, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps students master key concepts at their own pace. Tutors work with Melrose students on the specific skills tested in MCAS and other state assessments, filling gaps and building confidence in core subjects like math, reading, and science.

Melrose students most frequently seek tutoring in math (especially algebra and geometry), English language arts, and test preparation for standardized exams. Science and foreign language support are also common, particularly as students progress through middle and high school where coursework becomes more demanding.

The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their learning style, current challenges, and goals. The tutor will assess where they stand academically, discuss what support they need, and create a personalized plan tailored to help them succeed in their Melrose classroom and beyond.

While Melrose's student-teacher ratio is reasonable, classroom instruction still needs to serve the whole group. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills that gap by giving your student undivided attention, allowing tutors to adapt pacing and teaching methods to exactly how your child learns best—something that's difficult in even well-staffed classrooms.

Pricing is flexible and depends on the subject, tutor qualifications, and frequency of sessions. To get started, you'll share your student's needs with us, and we'll match them with the right tutor. You can discuss scheduling and rates directly with the tutor to find an arrangement that works for your family.

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who specialize in SAT, ACT, MCAS, and AP exam preparation. Whether your Melrose student is preparing for college entrance exams or state assessments, personalized test prep focuses on the specific skills and strategies they need to perform their best.

Many tutors work across multiple subjects, especially at the elementary and middle school levels. For high school students taking specialized courses, you might connect with subject-specific tutors. When you reach out, let us know what your student needs, and we'll find the best match—whether that's one tutor or multiple specialists.
