Vanessa
PhD Yale University • PhD Wellesley College
2+ Years Tutoring

I recently graduated from Yale University with my PhD in Biological and Biomedical Sciences, and I am a current Postdoctoral Associate at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT. Prior to attending graduate school at Yale, I received my BA at Wellesley College majoring in Biological Sciences and minoring in Economics. I have a strong background in STEM, and am excited to tutor Biology, Genetics, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, and other STEM subjects. Attending a Liberal Arts College for my undergraduate degree has also given me valuable expertise in writing, public speaking, and the arts. I have taught my own review section for a high-level Cellular Biology course in which I reviewed complex material to help students better understand difficult topics in the class. I have also served as a Teaching Fellow for a graduate-level cancer biology course running my own recitation sections. I always make sure to understand each student's learning style so that I can best work with them to tackle difficult class material. I also like to bring real-world examples into the classroom.

BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology • Doctor of Science, Nuclear Engineering Technology Massachusetts Institute of Technology
4+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, from where I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Nuclear Science & Engineering and Physics. After graduating, I decided to continue my journey in academia by remaining at MIT and am currently pursuing a doctoral degree in NSE. Although I have tutored a wide range of subjects in the past, I am most passionate about topics in STEM (my favorites are Math, Physics, and Computer Programming in Python). I am a strong advocate for education, as I believe it is the most effective path towards progress in society, and that conviction is reflected in my work with students.

Caleb
MS Northwestern University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a strong believer in the learning process as trial and error. Making mistakes on the way to learning new concepts is expected and no individual should ever be ashamed of asking questions to better understand subject matter. I encourage curiosity to understand the "why" behind learning fundamentals. I hope to demonstrate to students that mathematics is an exciting subject area with a variety of applications in their day-to-day lives.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

Charles
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!

Christopher
BA Harvard College
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.

MS Simmons College • BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Quincy's 23 schools with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in the Quincy Public Schools district or another local school, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and Massachusetts learning standards.

Massachusetts has rigorous academic standards, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction is proven to accelerate student progress toward mastery. Tutors work with students on the specific concepts they're struggling with, whether that's preparing for MCAS assessments, strengthening foundational skills, or advancing in advanced coursework—all aligned with state standards.

While Quincy's average student-teacher ratio of 13.1:1 is reasonable, individual students still benefit from personalized attention focused entirely on their learning needs. One-on-one tutoring fills gaps that classroom instruction alone may not address, especially for students who need extra support or want to accelerate their progress in specific subjects.

Quincy students seek tutoring across many subjects, with math and English being among the most common. We also connect students with tutors for science, history, test prep (including MCAS and SAT/ACT), foreign languages, and AP courses—whatever helps them succeed in their specific coursework.

The first session is about understanding your student's goals, learning style, and current challenges. The tutor will assess where your student stands, identify specific areas needing support, and create a personalized plan to help them succeed—whether that's catching up, building confidence, or reaching for advanced achievement.

Pricing is flexible and based on the tutor's expertise, subject area, and your student's needs. We work with families to find tutoring options that fit their budget, and there are no long-term contracts required. Contact us to discuss what's available for your student's specific situation.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who are carefully vetted for subject knowledge, teaching ability, and experience. Many have backgrounds in education, hold relevant degrees, and understand how to teach the specific content your student needs to master.

Simply reach out to tell us about your student's needs, goals, and preferred schedule. We'll match them with a tutor who's a great fit, and you can start personalized instruction as soon as possible. The process is straightforward and designed to get your student the support they need quickly.
