Emily
Elementary Math Tutor • +6 Subjects
Learning can happen anywhere, at anytime! I have been working with students and children of all ages for over ten years, in settings anywhere from daycare, to hockey camp, or Spanish Immersion school. I spent the last year teaching fourth grade math in an under-performing public school. In September I will begin working towards my Master's Degree in Theology. As a teacher I aim to determine the specific manner in which a student learns best. Meeting the individual learning needs of each student creates a fun learning environment! I believe that every student has the ability to achieve incredible things and I will guide them to that by maintaining a positive and encouraging environment.I graduated from Trinity College with a double major in Spanish and Religion. I absolutely love tutoring a wide range of subjects including Spanish, Math, English and Religion. In my free time I enjoy being active and playing sports, especially hockey, soccer and softball. I also love to run, roller-blade, and read.
Miguel
NMLS - Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System Tutor • +1 Subjects
I started my mortgage journey as an assistant in 2015 and in 2018, I took the leap and became a Mortgage Loan Officer. When I began my transition into mortgage lending I was told there was this "difficult" license that you needed to obtain prior to actually becoming a lender. Once I took the leap I studied, and studied and yes studied, to make sure I passed the test. (By the way only about 25% pass it the first time). I attribute this to not only learning and understanding the material, but knowing the right way to study. We all learn differently and it's my job to personalize and customize that to a student! I have taught classes for various people and age groups. There is nothing more exciting than seeing a student pass their class and become licensed and watch them grow and learn.

Alexandra
Algebra Tutor • +6 Subjects
I have graduated from the Leffell School in Hartsdale, NY and I am currently working towards a Bachelor of Science degree at Babson College in Massachusetts. Within my degree, I plan to concentrate in entrepreneurship and I am very passionate about business. I have been passionate about helping students since I worked with Reading Partners in Washington D.C. I have always loved math, but as I got older it got more difficult and discouraged me. I wish that I had reached out for help and I am excited to do this for other students. I am currently tutoring in algebra and SAT prep. My teaching style varies depending on the student, what matters to me is how they learn best. I will do everything I can to accommodate each student in this and I am very excited to work with them.

David
Algebra Tutor • +12 Subjects
My goal as an educator is to promote a positive appreciation for education, especially the subject of mathematics.For the past ten years I have, in varying capacities, been involved with teaching or tutoring mathematics at the middle school to post-secondary levels. My goal for my students is for them to question why they are studying what they are so they can foster a deeper understanding of the material. To aid in this, I draw from my extensive knowledge of the subject of mathematics and expand upon what they are studying. This allows me to call on different approaches and methods to solve problems, and I believe allow my students to more completely grasp the concepts.
Brock
10th Grade Math Tutor • +49 Subjects
I recently graduated with a double major in Economics and Government from Bowdoin College. I look forward to tutoring high school math, science, and reading, as well as specific ACT and SAT prep! I have always loved working with people, especially students. I have done a wide variety of activities related to teaching: I led a Special Olympics Organization at my school, taught swimming lessons to all ages, coached a swim team, coached other sports, and have tutored younger students. I really enjoyed standardized tests when I was in high school and have a lot of practice helping others with them. I am excited to figure out how to help more students meet their goals!

Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects
I have a passion for helping students succeed in life. This passion led to me volunteering my time as a tutor during my undergraduate studies. I helped local high school students prepare for the Georgia High School Graduation Test (GHSGT) by providing them with study methods and offering assistance in math, science, and language arts. My students had a 100% pass rate for the GHSGT and were able to graduate from high school. I also helped students prepare for the ACT and SAT.My assistance is not limited to upper level students. I participated in a program called project FOCUS (Fostering Our Children's Understanding in Science); through this program I taught students in grades K-5 science. I developed lesson plans and projects that helped the students gain interest in science, as well as learn and understand science. I have also tutored students in math, reading, and language arts.When tutoring students, my goal is to understand the level the students are currently at, and how best to help them advance to higher levels. My lesson plans usually consist of worksheets and projects that focus on the area that is challenging for the students. I also sometimes allow the students to work independently in order to gauge their progress. I feel that this method provides confidence in their ability to complete the assignment.I will be as flexible as possible. I also welcome feedback and constructive criticism as I am always willing to improve my skills. I look forward to hearing from you and helping with your studies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Albany is home to 13 school districts serving over 17,000 students across 51 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in the Albany City School District, Bethlehem, Guilderland, or another local district, we match them with tutors who understand New York's curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.
New York has rigorous academic standards across math, English language arts, science, and social studies, and tutors work directly with students to build mastery in these areas. Whether preparing for Regents exams, state assessments, or strengthening foundational skills, personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus on exactly where each student needs support—something that's harder to achieve in classrooms with the district average of 14.7 students per teacher.
Albany students commonly seek help with math (especially algebra, geometry, and regents prep), English language arts and writing, chemistry and biology, and test preparation for the SAT and ACT. We also work with students on study skills, organization, and confidence-building—especially important as they progress through New York's increasingly rigorous coursework in middle and high school.
The first session is a get-to-know-you meeting where the tutor learns about your student's academic history, current challenges, learning style, and goals. They'll assess where your student stands, discuss what success looks like, and create a personalized plan together. This foundation ensures every session that follows is focused and productive.
Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions—we work with families to find an arrangement that fits their budget and schedule. Many Albany families find that personalized tutoring prevents the need for more expensive interventions later, and the focused 1-on-1 approach means faster progress compared to group settings.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have deep subject expertise and proven teaching experience. Tutors are carefully selected and vetted, and many have backgrounds in education, advanced degrees in their subject areas, or years of professional experience. Each tutor is matched to your student based on their specific needs and learning goals.
Absolutely. Regents exams are a key part of New York's education system, and tutors specialize in helping students master the content and test-taking strategies needed to succeed. Whether your student is preparing for Regents in math, English, science, or social studies, personalized instruction allows tutors to focus on the specific topics and question types where they need the most support.
Simply reach out to Varsity Tutors with information about your student's grade level, subject, and goals. We'll match them with a qualified tutor, schedule an initial session, and get started. Most families see the benefit of tutoring quickly—especially when the tutor is focused entirely on their student's needs rather than managing a classroom of 15 or more.
