Shadidur
BA Rutgers University (New Brunswick)
5+ Years Tutoring

I am Shadidur, and I recently graduated from Rutgers University with a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. Attending school during the pandemic has taught me how tedious and confusing simple concepts can be with the remote teaching styles. I have experienced the struggles first hand and can relate to all the other people who need help. Coming fresh out of college with my degree in engineering has paved the way for me to help students that might be struggling or need help in getting ahead.

Samuel
BA California Institute of Technology
6+ Years Tutoring

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!

Marc
BA Duke University
1+ Years Tutoring

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
BA Yale University
6+ Years Tutoring

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.

Pranav
BA Johns Hopkins University
8+ Years Tutoring

I am currently an undergraduate at Johns Hopkins University working towards a degree in Biomedical Engineering. One of the most rewarding aspects tutoring is helping students arrive at that "Eureka" moment when the concept or idea they have been trying to understand suddenly clicks. I hope to be a mentor to students as I draw from my own experiences, having been in the same shoes not long ago. I enjoy tutoring all subjects, particularly math, physics, and biology.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Paterson has 7 school districts serving over 26,000 students across 51 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a Paterson Public School or a charter school in the area, tutors can support their specific curriculum and academic goals.

Tutors work with students to master New Jersey's core standards in math, English language arts, science, and social studies. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, students get targeted support on the concepts they find challenging, which helps them build confidence and perform better on state assessments and in the classroom.

Students in Paterson frequently seek help with algebra, geometry, reading comprehension, writing, and standardized test prep. Many also benefit from tutoring in elementary math foundations and English language support, especially as they transition between grade levels.

The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their learning style, current academic strengths, and areas where they need support. The tutor will assess where your student stands and work together to set realistic, achievable goals for the tutoring relationship.

Paterson's average student-teacher ratio is 13.5:1, which means classroom teachers are managing many students at once. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring allows a tutor to focus entirely on your student's individual needs, pace, and learning style—adapting instruction in real time rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Varsity Tutors offers flexible scheduling and package options to fit different budgets and academic needs. Contact us to discuss what works best for your student and family.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong backgrounds in their subject areas and experience working with students at various levels. Tutors are carefully matched to each student based on teaching style, expertise, and the student's specific academic needs.

Simply reach out to Varsity Tutors with information about your student's grade level, subject needs, and goals. We'll match your student with a tutor who's a great fit, and you can begin personalized instruction on a schedule that works for your family.
