Pre-Algebra Tutor • +33 Subjects

I am in New York City studying acting, and I want to bring the same energy, enthusiasm and compassion that is required on stage to my students. I have experience tutoring for the SATs, and I have had significant experience serving as a mentor to younger students, particularly in the university setting. I love coaching and helping students discover their intellectual passions. Most importantly, I am thrilled by the prospect of helping a student set concrete goals and progress towards actualizing them in an academic realm. But above all I want to work with students to help them develop strategies that are personally effective and furthermore that link their passions with their education.

Kyle

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a current student at Yale University pursuing a degree in English. Since I was little, writing and storytelling has been one of my biggest passions. Though back then, I often told stories to my friends and family as though they were truth, once they helped me find the page I've had much, much more success. I have been tutoring kids since I was in high school, but I've also spent many hours working with kids on the baseball diamond as a coach, as well as as a camp counselor. My philosophy is that I know how hard and difficult (and sometimes annoying) high school English and History classes can be, and my goal is to try and bring a little fun back into the material while making sure we do what it takes to master your craft as a budding young writer, whether in a rhetorical analysis of Pride and Prejudice or in your CommonApp personal essay.

I'm a rising junior at Stanford University majoring in International Relations and minoring in Education, and Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity. I am most passionate about history, but I really enjoy math and writing too. I've been working extensively in educational settings for the past two years, working as a middle school TA and after school program academic classroom director/tutor. In my free time, I love having conversations with my friends and students, reading, dancing, listening to music, and hanging out with my younger sisters. My mission is to work my hardest to make learning and tutoring truly fun, so that it doesn't feel like a chore or obligation for anyone. I would love to work with you on SAT preparation, math tutoring, history tutoring, writing tutoring, or any other subject you would like to work on!

I am a junior at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania studying Economics, Finance, and Business Analytics. For the last few years, I have been helping students with college application and test prep help, such as college essays, common app, and SAT/Subject SATs. I came from a high school where these resources for college and SAT prep were not as readily available, so I want to work towards making college more accessible by helping students with their application. Past students of mine have gotten into NYU, UMich, and Georgetown. Hobbies: art, travel, books, reading, writing, traveling, music, dancing, running

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Garfield's 14 schools and both school districts with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Garfield Public Schools district or another local district, we can match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum and New Jersey academic standards.

Tutors work with students on the specific skills and content outlined in New Jersey's academic standards, from elementary through high school. With Garfield's average student-teacher ratio of 11.2:1 in classrooms, personalized 1-on-1 instruction provides the focused attention needed to fill gaps and accelerate progress on state assessments and core subjects.

Garfield students most frequently seek tutoring in math, English language arts, and test prep for standardized assessments. We also connect students with tutors for science, social studies, foreign languages, and subject-specific help for students transitioning between grade levels or preparing for high school coursework.

The first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify specific learning goals. The tutor will assess your student's current level, discuss any challenges they're facing, and create a personalized plan tailored to their needs and your family's priorities.

Absolutely. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is especially effective for students who are behind, as tutors can slow down, reteach concepts, and build confidence at your student's pace. Research on one-on-one tutoring shows it can dramatically accelerate learning when students have consistent, focused support from an experienced tutor.

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors experienced in preparing for NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessments), SAT, ACT, AP exams, and other standardized tests. Tutors create targeted study plans based on your student's current performance and goals, whether they're aiming to improve a specific score or build test-taking confidence.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor experience level, and frequency of sessions. We work with families to find options that fit their budget, and many families find that personalized instruction is a worthwhile investment in their student's academic success.
