Czarina

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +31 Subjects

I'm Czarina Alfonso, a junior at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. In high school, I was a honors student with membership in the National Honor Society, Science Honor Society and Math Honor Society. I was also a member of my school's Diversity Council and president of the medical club. Since I'm currently a chemistry major/premed student, I have lots of experience with STEM related courses (AP Chem, AP Bio, AP Calculus, AP Statistics). I've also taken both AP English Language and Composition and AP English Literature. In addition to my AP course load in high school, I also studied for multiple SAT subject tests (Bio 790, Math 2 770, Chem 770) and the SAT (770M, 770ERW). Outside of academics, I did lots of volunteer work (founded nonprofit called Give It a Shot that raises money to provide pneumonia vaccines to daycare aged children in the Philippines, worked at local hospital, peer tutored at school) and played a sport (fencing) at a national level. I have lots of experience tutoring students and sharing some of my time management/organizational strategies. I look forward to working with you! Hobbies: books, music, baking, art, reading, writing

Sabrina

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +27 Subjects

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 Ridgewood's 16 schools with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in the Ridgewood Public School District or is homeschooled, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and New Jersey academic standards.

New Jersey has rigorous standards for math, reading, science, and social studies across grade levels. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps students master these standards at their own pace, filling gaps and building confidence. Tutors work with students on the specific skills and concepts their schools emphasize, ensuring they're prepared for assessments and future coursework.

Ridgewood students most commonly seek help in math (algebra, geometry, and calculus), English/language arts, standardized test prep (SAT and ACT), and science subjects like chemistry and biology. Many students also benefit from tutoring in foreign languages, particularly Spanish and Mandarin, as well as AP and honors-level coursework preparation.

During the initial session, the tutor will assess your student's current level, understand their specific challenges, and learn about their goals. This diagnostic conversation helps the tutor create a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs—whether that's catching up in a subject, preparing for an exam, or advancing to honors-level work.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 12.6:1 in Ridgewood schools, classroom teachers work hard to support many students. Personalized tutoring provides the one-on-one attention that allows students to ask questions freely, work at their own pace, and get targeted help on concepts they find challenging—something that's difficult to achieve in a classroom setting.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families to create flexible tutoring plans that fit their budget and schedule. Many Ridgewood families find that even one or two sessions per week makes a meaningful difference in their student's confidence and performance.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and teaching experience. Many tutors have advanced degrees, hold teaching certifications, or have years of experience tutoring in their subject areas. Each tutor is carefully matched to your student's needs and learning style.

Yes, we connect high school students in Ridgewood with tutors who specialize in SAT and ACT prep. Whether your student is aiming to improve their overall score, focus on specific sections (like math or reading), or build test-taking strategies, personalized tutoring can help them feel more confident and prepared on test day.
