Sarah

ACT Math Tutor • +51 Subjects

I am a graduate of Clark University where I received my B.A in Physics and Mathematics. I grew up going between Los Angeles and Paris, always in a French school so I quickly became bilingual.I have always loved science, in particular physics and mathematics and have been lucky enough to share this with others through tutoring. I can help with all levels of math and physics up through graduate level course work. I also can tutor all levels of French as I have taken the French baccalaureat. I started tutoring in high school, everything from math, literature, to French and Latin. I have worked mostly with high school, college students and adults, but have also helped younger students accomplish their goals. I love teaching and find it wonderful when I help my students understand complex concepts. Though hard science can be scary, all my students have come to have a much deeper understanding of it which is a reward in itself.In my free time I enjoy traveling, playing music, and computer programming.In my free time I like to discover new things about the city

Sebastian

Biology Tutor • +11 Subjects

I am currently a postdoctoral associate at Yale University conducing research in genetics/neuroscience. Throughout the years I have had many opportunities to interact with and train students. Specifically, as a graduate student I have had experience as a teaching assistant for general biology and advanced genetics lab courses, and have also tutored high school students in AP chemistry. Hopefully as a tutor for VT I can make STEM courses more approachable and rewarding for high school and undergraduate students.

I have spent the last two semesters mentoring kids from a local shelter every Saturday during the school year. My specialties are SAT prep, SHSAT Prep, English and Social Studies.

Michael

Arithmetic Tutor • +14 Subjects

The title “teacher” is special to me, because great teaching inspires the imagination and frees kids to think with an open mind. This freedom of imagination let’s kids comprehend more completely who they are and who they aspire to be. It’s all about possibilities! My personal teaching style is filled with this positive urgency, humor and energy—“Let’s do it and do it now!” Be it a special education class, a remedial class or a college course, kids apply their knowledge and insights in projects. Ideas are applied to writing, mastery of mathematical processes or performance techniques.Feelings of confidence motivate kids and stretch into other parts of life—problems become challenges to tackle, rather than disappointments to avoid. Gaining mastery is supported by trust. Setting achievement goals is risky. Students need to trust their teacher and themselves. Building trust and relationships is another one of my chief strengths. I believe kids learn in a system of relationships and in a culture of learning. Building trust requires follow through—being present, prepared and in command, otherwise kids don’t take the risks. It also means adapting to individual learner’s needs. A great lesson or an appropriate challenge builds trust through understanding. I use an eclectic array of resources from graphic organizers, to drilling, to practiced editing, to sentence starters, to Cornell Notes.. All are a proven way to help structure learning tasks. Without judgment and a positive can-do frame of mind, we tackle what seems impossible!

Antoinette

Criminology Tutor • +10 Subjects

I am a graduate of Walden University where I received a Master's in Psychology and a Doctor of Philosophy in Criminal Justice. I have also obtained a Master's in Healthcare Administration with a focus in education. Currently, I perform investigations in the criminal justice field while I also work as a university professor teaching criminal justice. I have recorded textbooks for the visually impaired and tutored children whose parents lived in a homeless shelter where I volunteered. I also worked with some of the parents by helping them with budgeting, completing college essays, and helping some to improve their English skills (as I am a certified ESL instructor). While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Criminal Justice, Literature, and Psychology. One of the most important skills that I can aid students in developing is writing and thinking critically regarding the information they receive as they continue to grow throughout their educational careers. I must encourage and prepare students to be contributors in society both locally and globally as well as inspiring the need for continued research that expands conceptual understanding aimed at making a difference. I am a firm advocate of education because it has the potential to improve an individual's quality of life while both broadening and advancing one's exposure and opportunities.

David

Graduate Test Prep Tutor • +32 Subjects

I graduated from Clark University where I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Philosophy and played Varsity Baseball. Upon graduation, I joined Teach For America and returned home teaching at a public charter school in Brooklyn, NY. After this, I took the LSAT and decided to help others to achieve the same success on the LSAT that I did. I teach all aspects of the LSAT and enjoy each and every section. As a philosophy major, I enjoyed using my brain in a logical manner and have found there to be fun in tutoring the LSAT. I believe that the LSAT can and should be a fun test to study for and strive to make sure that it is enjoyable for all of my students. I prefer to just serve as a guide so the lessons that students get stick with them more. I do this by asking questions and providing enough scaffolding to have my student create their own "Aha!" moment. When I'm not tutoring, I love everything New York sports and creating new dishes to enjoy with friends and family.

Jack

ACT Prep Tutor • +19 Subjects

I am a current senior at USC studying neuroscience and computer science. I have tutored students in a wide range of materials from standardized tests (SAT and ACT), to various high-school subjects (including Physics, Chemistry, Algebra, and Geometry).I scored in the 99th percentile of both the ACT and SAT, and I strive to help every student I tutor gain the necessary skills and habits to achieve whatever score they are aiming for. Standardized testing and school in general can be a huge stress on students, and as a tutor I want to help mediate some of that stress by not only better preparing you as a student, but giving you whatever advice I may have to offer to help you feel better about your educational journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Newark has 20 school districts serving over 59,000 students across 93 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized instruction. Whether your student attends a Newark Public School, a charter school, or a private institution, we match them with tutors who understand the specific curriculum and standards they're working with.

Newark's average student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1 means many students don't get the individualized attention they need to master challenging concepts. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills that gap by allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning pace, learning style, and specific areas of struggle—something that's difficult in a traditional classroom setting.

Tutors connected through Varsity Tutors are familiar with New Jersey's learning standards and assessment expectations, including the New Jersey Student Learning Standards (NJSLS) across subjects like math, ELA, science, and social studies. They tailor instruction to ensure students build the skills and knowledge required for grade-level success and standardized assessments.

Students for students in Newark seek help across a wide range of subjects, with math and English language arts being the most common. We also connect students with tutors for science, social studies, test prep (including SAT and ACT), and language learning. The specific needs vary by grade level and individual student goals.

The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their learning style, current strengths, challenges, and goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically and discuss a personalized plan for moving forward. This foundation helps ensure that every session that follows is targeted and effective.

Start by telling us about your student's needs and goals. Varsity Tutors will match them with an expert tutor who fits their learning style and academic focus. Once matched, you'll schedule your first session and begin personalized instruction tailored to your student's pace and goals.

Absolutely. Whether your student is struggling with fractions in elementary math, algebra in middle school, or complex essay writing in high school, personalized tutoring targets those specific gaps. Tutors break down difficult concepts into manageable pieces and use practice and feedback to build real understanding—not just test-taking tricks.

Varsity Tutors works with students on all kinds of goals—raising grades, preparing for the SAT or ACT, getting ready for AP exams, mastering a challenging subject, or accelerating ahead of grade level. Tutors create a customized plan based on your student's specific objective and timeline, making sure instruction stays focused and measurable.
