Pre-med coursework at Boston University meant Will couldn't just pass gen chem — he had to actually retain concepts like acid-base chemistry, reaction stoichiometry, and solution equilibria well enough to apply them in upper-level biology and organic chemistry. That carry-forward pressure shaped how he teaches college chemistry now: he pins down the reasoning behind each problem type so students aren't just surviving the current exam but building knowledge that holds up in the next course. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
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.
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.
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!
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
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!
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I am excited to be home and help fellow straphangers on their educational paths! My largest wealth of tutoring experience is in foreign languages--particularly French--but I also feel very comfortable editing essays of any kind and working through standardized test concepts. My availability is extremely flexible, and anywhere in New York City works for me. I look forward to working with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
College Chemistry requires mastering both abstract concepts and practical problem-solving skills. Students often struggle with balancing chemical equations, unit conversions, and connecting theoretical principles like thermodynamics and equilibrium to real-world applications. Many also find it challenging to visualize molecular structures and reaction mechanisms—skills that are essential for success in the course. Personalized tutoring helps you build conceptual understanding rather than relying on memorization, which is key to performing well on exams and in lab work.
Yes. Tutors can help you understand the scientific method, prepare for lab procedures, and interpret experimental results. They can explain how theoretical concepts connect to what you'll observe in the lab, help you work through pre-lab calculations, and guide you in analyzing data and drawing conclusions. This support strengthens both your lab performance and your overall understanding of chemistry principles.
Your first session focuses on understanding your specific challenges and goals. The tutor will assess your current understanding of key concepts, identify areas where you need the most support (whether that's balancing equations, stoichiometry, or conceptual topics), and learn about your learning style. From there, they'll create a personalized plan to help you build confidence and improve your grade.
Personalized tutoring focuses on building deep conceptual understanding through explanation, practice, and real-world connections. Instead of memorizing formulas, you'll learn why they work and how to apply them to different problems. Tutors use techniques like working through examples together, asking guiding questions, and connecting abstract concepts to tangible applications—approaches that research shows lead to better retention and stronger problem-solving skills.
Starting tutoring early—ideally at the beginning of the semester or as soon as you notice concepts becoming unclear—gives you the best chance to build a strong foundation. If you're already struggling with exams or assignments, getting help immediately can prevent gaps from widening. Even a few sessions early on can clarify foundational topics like atomic structure and bonding, making later units like thermodynamics and kinetics much easier to grasp.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have strong backgrounds in chemistry—many with degrees in chemistry, chemical engineering, or related sciences, and experience teaching or tutoring at the college level. These tutors understand the College Chemistry curriculum, common student misconceptions, and how to explain complex concepts clearly. They're skilled at helping you develop both content knowledge and scientific reasoning skills.
Worcester is home to several colleges and universities with strong science programs, which means there's a vibrant academic community here. While personalized tutoring gives you one-on-one support tailored to your needs, you might also explore campus resources like office hours with your professor, peer tutoring centers, and study groups. Combining these resources with professional tutoring can create a comprehensive support system for your success.
Tutoring rates vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, you'll receive transparent pricing information upfront so you can make an informed decision. Many students find that investing in a few focused sessions—especially around challenging units or before exams—delivers strong results and improved grades.
