I am a third year electrical engineering student at Princeton University, with a focus in applied physics, and minors in German studies and history. I want to tutor because I am always excited about learning new things, and I want to share this with students of all ages. I find that this way, a student can do difficult work, excel, and feel both accomplished and happy. I have a broad range of specialties, from physics, to programming in Java and C, to German, to test prep and college applications help. I also love workshopping all kinds of writing, whether personal or academic. Some of my qualifications include physics research at a Max Planck Institute and acceptances to Harvard and UC Berkeley. I have experience teaching environmental science to children at a botanical garden and volunteering as a reading tutor for elementary schoolers behind grade level.

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. Contact us for a consultation to discuss pricing and find the right fit for your family.
