I am passionate about education, learning, teaching, and specifically literatures and languages. I have experience as an ESL teacher for young children and teens, as well as experience working as a Writing Consultant at my undergraduate institution. I also spent all four years of my undergraduate career volunteering as an SAT tutor for local high schoolers. Beyond this, I have experience both as a private and public Spanish tutor. I love to help students reach their educational and personal goals in any way that I can.

I am confident I will be able to use my experience and current knowledge to raise your grades and scores.
I am current student at The University of Chicago. I have extensive experience working with children in multiple settings. I am passionate about teaching, and hope I will be able to assist you in overcoming any academic struggles.
I am greatly passionate about (writing and literature), to help this student gain confidence in her learning abilities and get to a point where, instead of being discouraged, she could actually enjoy learning. I especially loved the moments when she reached a breakthrough in her understanding of a concept and was so happy that I had been able to use my knowledge to enhance her understanding and enjoyment of a topic. I tutored through out high school and continue to tutor in college as I help other students to realize their potential and achieve their goals.
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.
I'm an international Affairs major at Princeton University minoring in Creative Writing and Chinese. I graduated from The Brearley School in New York City in 2011. At Princeton, I work in the writing center tutoring fellow students in critical thinking, analysis, and academic writing. I also have a good deal of experience helping elementary and junior high students with math, reading, and French. Still, writing remains my favorite subject to tutor, largely because of the discussions that accompany it. Outside of the classroom, I'm a varsity cross-country and track runner; an enthusiastic fan of the New Yorker fiction podcast; and am fascinated by military history and policy.
I am most comfortable teaching the SAT Reading/Writing and helping youths with their personal statements. Furthermore, my one-year experience as an AmeriCorps VISTA for PeaceJam Foundation – an award-winning organization that promotes service learning and peacekeeping through the combined efforts of Nobel Peace Laureates and young people – has instilled in me a deep reverence and hope for our youths today. I strongly believe in our youths’ limitless potential to pursue their dreams and become agents of positive social change and know I will be an excellent mentor/coach through their journey.
I am an engineering student at Princeton University. I have taken and tutored many AP subjects especially in the sciences and math. I have experience tutoring students of all ages in a variety of topics including test prep (ACT, AP Exams, etc.) and general science/math course tutoring. My focus is on helping students gain a critical understanding of the subjects at hand so they can apply that knowledge to solving a variety of problems.
I am a Biology major who graduated from Princeton University in the summer of 2020 and am set to begin Medical School at Howard University in the summer of 2021. In the meantime I am working as a scribe and clinical assistant for an orthopedic physician. I have been tutoring for years and am comfortable teaching middle school and high school students math and science. Whether it's fine tuning skills or starting from scratch I am able to provide the improvement needed to reach your goals. Diagnostic exams followed by lessons from mistakes made is my primary method of learning and what I have found to be the most successful.
I am currently a doctoral candidate in History of Science Program with an interest in the history of epidemics and funeral rites in North Africa and the Middle East. I graduated from Reed College (B.A. in Biology) and from Columbia University (M.P.H. in Sociomedical Sciences). Before beginning my graduate work at Princeton, I worked as a research assistant in an immunology/genetics laboratory, participated in Americorps, and conducted public health interviews for the New York City Department of Health. When I tutored in the past, I tried to adjust my methods according to the needs and learning style of the student. I tried to making learning accessible and fun for them while ensuring that they had the core skills that were necessary.
I'm Sid. I'm a freshman in Rutgers University, New Brunswick. I'm currently tutoring ACT test-taking. If you're a junior and you have to take a standardized test (like the SAT or the ACT), it can be pretty daunting. Believe me, I was in exactly the same position as you when I was a junior-- and that understanding of the situation means that I'll be able to give you a specific plan tailored towards handling these high pressure situations. And I'm confident that it'll work for you. Personally, I believe that success (whether it be small or large) is largely dependent on three factors. Planning, practice and timing (all of which falls under the umbrella of responsibility). And those are things that I target in my tutoring. So when you receive a lesson from me, you'll see that it's more than just rote section after section. It's more meaningful. Maybe you'll even learn a couple life lessons (I know I did). So take a leap of faith, and let's make that great ACT score happen.
I am a graduate of Boston College. I received my Bachelor's degree in Political Science with a minor in French; my studies primarily focused on international affairs. I am passionate about teaching areas I focused on during my four years in Boston including history, government, and French but also have an established background in writing, literature, and English. I believe it is important to identify a unique approach for every student according to their specific needs because as I have learned, each student has individual strengths and difficulties. In my spare time I sail competitively, cook up new recipes, and keep up with current events.
I am a big believer in the power of flashcards! I even have multiple flashcard apps on my phone. For writing or English, a computer we can type through ideas on, and internet access to resources for grammar, vocabulary, etc. For history, I might bring additional books to help a student with a particular subject. For all subjects, I like to have a white board, so we can work through examples together.
I am currently a Master's Degree student at Princeton Theological Seminary. I would love to help you learn whatever you need to learn. I graduated as an Honor's Fellow from Calvin College with a 3.86 GPA. I got a 35 composite on my ACT, and I definitely get how hard it can be to study for a standardized test when its crunch time. I've tutored many different students for over 5+ years, and after graduate school my goal is to continue teaching. I love helping people have those "Aha!" moments, so if you are need of a breakthrough, lets sit down and see what we can do together!
I'm a freelance writer, recent Yale grad, former concert pianist and word lover. For the past three years I've worked as a writing specialist at the Yale College Writing Center, where I edited papers on topics from Turkish prison reform to Faulkner to hemoglobin studies. This past summer, I traveled to 14 countries as part of the singing group Whim 'n Rhythm. On that trip, I taught a cappella, singing and choral workshops with students of all ages. It was incredible and hugely affirming -- music is truly a global language!
I am a Colorado native, earning an Architecture Degree at Princeton University. I am passionate about Club Baseball, dedicated to health and fitness, and committed to Christian Fellowship on campus. I am very focused on growth and self improvement and I thrive helping other people achieve their own goals and reach new heights.
I am a recent graduate of Princeton University with a Bachelors in French and a certificate in Theater. I tutored math in high school and peer-tutored fellow students in French at Princeton. I believe the best way to learn is to explore and always be curious and ask questions! When I tutor, I like to give my students tools that can help them develop strategies to learn on their own, rather than just giving them facts to memorize.
I'm a recent graduate of Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School with an MPA and concentrations in Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy. I did my undergrad at The Ohio State University where I studied Arabic and Development Economics. Previously, I worked in international affairs in various hotspots throughout the world including Afghanistan and Iraq. I enjoy teaching and empowering students to not only learn the material at hand but also develop skills that can help them solve a variety of other problems.
My teaching philosophy is comprised of the following tenets: - Identify students' abilities and goals. - Structure individualized approaches & repertoire based on optimal pathways to learning; build on each student's strengths while redressing lacunae. - Implement organic development of skills and knowledge; advance keyboard technique in close symbiotic relationship with music theory, analysis, and history. - Empower independent study through self-awareness, critical thinking, and listening comprehension.
I am passionate about giving students all of the resources that they need to succeed academically.
I'm an engineering student who tutors most levels of math and all sections of the SAT, with a focus on helping students truly understand concepts rather than memorize steps. I've worked with students in algebra, geometry, calculus, and SAT reading/math, breaking down problems into clear, manageable strategies. My teaching style is patient, structured, and motivating, and I'm passionate about helping students build confidence and see real improvement because I also want to be a teacher in the future.
As a passionate mathematics tutor with a Bachelor's degree from the University of Chicago, I have over 5 years of tutoring experience in subjects ranging from Algebra to Calculus and Linear Algebra. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive learning environment where each student feels empowered to explore mathematical concepts at their own pace. I strive to connect with my students by using real-world applications to make abstract ideas more tangible, fostering both understanding and confidence. I am dedicated to helping students achieve their academic goals and develop a genuine appreciation for mathematics, as I believe that a strong foundation in math opens doors to future opportunities. In my free time, I like literature, video games, and swimming.
I am eager to help students demystify math and physics. I have three years of tutoring experience, and will help to craft a study plan that works for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects students across Princeton's 19 schools and 2 school districts. Whether your student attends a public or private school in the area, we match them with tutors who understand local curricula and New Jersey academic standards. This broad reach means we're familiar with the specific expectations and pacing across Princeton's schools.
While Princeton schools maintain a solid 10.3:1 student-teacher ratio, personalized 1-on-1 instruction offers something classrooms can't—instruction tailored entirely to your student's learning style and pace. Even in well-resourced schools, individual students benefit from focused attention on their specific gaps, whether that's struggling with algebra concepts or preparing for AP exams. Tutoring complements classroom learning by providing the targeted support that helps students move from understanding to mastery.
Students in Princeton typically seek help with math (algebra, geometry, and precalculus), standardized test prep (SAT and ACT), and sciences like chemistry and biology. We also work with many students on writing and English skills, especially as they prepare for college applications. Because Princeton has strong academic expectations across both districts, students often benefit from tutoring to maintain competitive grades and test scores for college admissions.
During your first session, the tutor gets to know your student's academic background, current challenges, and learning goals. They'll assess where your student stands in their subject area and discuss what success looks like—whether that's improving a grade, mastering a specific concept, or preparing for a test. This foundation helps the tutor create a personalized plan for the sessions ahead.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand New Jersey's curriculum standards and assessment expectations. Whether your student is working toward NJSLA proficiency, preparing for AP exams, or meeting district-specific requirements, tutors tailor instruction to align with what's expected. This targeted approach helps students not just keep up, but excel within New Jersey's academic framework.
The ideal frequency depends on your student's needs and goals. Some students benefit from weekly sessions for ongoing support, while others do well with bi-weekly meetings or intensive prep during key periods like test season. During your first conversation with Varsity Tutors, we'll help you determine a schedule that fits your student's academic needs and your family's schedule.
Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of consistent test prep to see meaningful score improvements, though timelines vary based on starting point and target score. For students aiming for a significant increase, starting prep 3-4 months before test day allows time for learning strategies, practice, and refinement. Tutors create a customized prep schedule based on your student's baseline score and goals.
Simply reach out to Varsity Tutors and share your student's subject, grade level, and goals. We'll match them with a tutor experienced in that area and familiar with Princeton schools' expectations. You can start with a single session to see if it's a good fit, then adjust frequency and focus as needed based on progress.
