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

Samuel

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

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!

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Fair Lawn's 12 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends one of the schools in the Fair Lawn Public School District or is homeschooled, we match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum and New Jersey academic standards they're working toward.

New Jersey has rigorous academic standards across math, English language arts, science, and social studies. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps students master these standards at their own pace—whether they need to catch up, stay on track, or get ahead. Tutors familiar with NJ curriculum can target the specific skills your student needs to succeed on state assessments and in their courses.

Fair Lawn students most commonly seek help in math (from elementary through algebra and geometry), English language arts, and standardized test prep for the SAT and ACT. We also support students in science, social studies, and foreign languages like Spanish. The right tutor can target exactly where your student needs the most support.

Your first session is a chance for the tutor to understand your student's learning style, current level, and specific goals. They'll assess where your student stands, identify knowledge gaps, and create a personalized plan moving forward. This foundation helps ensure every session after that is focused and effective.

Fair Lawn schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1, which is reasonable for classroom instruction but means individual attention is limited. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring provides the focused, customized instruction that research shows accelerates learning—tutors adapt in real-time to your student's pace and learning style in ways group settings simply can't match.

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects Fair Lawn students with tutors who specialize in SAT and ACT prep. Whether your student needs to boost their score from the mid-1000s to competitive levels, or wants to maximize their chances of reaching the top schools, personalized test prep focuses on the exact areas where they can gain the most points.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families to find options that fit their budget—whether that's weekly sessions, intensive prep, or targeted help before a big exam. Contact us to discuss what works best for your student's needs and your family's situation.

Getting started is simple: tell us about your student's grade, subject, and goals, and we'll match them with a qualified tutor who fits their needs. You can then schedule your first session at a time that works for your family. Most families see their student connect with a tutor within a few days of reaching out.
