Devon's African Studies master's work requires synthesizing history, literature, social science, and analytical writing — essentially the same mix of disciplines a middle schooler faces daily, just at a higher altitude. That cross-disciplinary fluency means he can move from unpacking a math concept to strengthening a paragraph's argument without treating them as separate skills, because at this level, they're really not.

I'm a rising junior at Harvard College. I study African American Studies with a secondary in Women's Studies and I am pursuing a language citation in Spanish. I aspire to one day go to business school. When I am not doing work, I can typically be found reading, writing, or dancing.
I am a recent graduate of Washington University in St. Louis and a current first year medical student at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. I began tutoring junior high and high school students in math and science as a freshman in high school, and have continued refining these skills throughout my time in college. I completed the MCAT in March 2017, and still vividly remember the study strategies that resulted in a successful score. My high school students have had great success on the SAT Subject Test in Biology, often scoring in the high 700s on their first attempt. I am available for either in person or online tutoring, depending on the distance!
I am a graduate of UCLA with a major in Physiological Science and a minor in Spanish. This past year, I worked in a third grade math class with City Year New York. I have years of tutoring experience, and I am passionate about learning and working with children.
I am currently a first year graduate student at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health working towards my Masters in Public Health in environmental health sciences. For my undergraduate, I attended Fordham University and received a Bachelors degree in both biology and anthropology. I know how difficult advanced science and math classes can be on top of other studies, and I am really looking to work through these issues with potential students. I am available for sessions in biology, chemistry, physics, as well as a range of math levels. I am also available for SAT, PSAT, and ACT prep. I have ample experience with academic writing, so I can work with students through many different types of assessments. I know that the subjects I tutor can be frustrating and difficult at time, so I believe in low pressure tutoring where we can delve into the material and move at whatever pace the student needs.
I am a Mount Holyoke College graduate with a degree in Neuroscience and Philosophy. As an alum of a liberal arts institution, I have gained a passion for teaching from previous my mentors and experiences. Therefore, I would like to use this platform to support young students in their academic goals and endeavors. I have 6+ years of experience tutoring in STEM and Humanities from grades K-12. I also have experience tutoring in college level Biology and Chemistry classes. As a NYC native, and a Bronx High School of Science graduate I understand that students are constantly under pressure and competition. My goal is to make sure students understand and believe in their own prowess while continuing to improve their skills and capacities. I hope that we will have an opportunity to work together in the future!
I am from Phoenix, Arizona but currently live in New York as a student at Fordham University. I am a Philosophy major with a passion for learning and creativity. I have experience tutoring in pre-algebra, Latin, and SAT prep. I have taken the SAT three times, the PSAT three times, and three SAT subject tests. I am extremely familiar with the layout of the SAT and how to coach students in studying and test-taking techniques. I believe in setting a strong foundation of knowledge for students to build off of in every subject they approach. I look forward to helping students become the best they can be through engaging lessons made specifically for each individual.
I am currently enrolled as an applied accounting and finance major at the Fordham Gabelli School of Business where I'm taking business statistics and calculus classes alongside writing and economics classes. In my free time, I watch tons of basketball and football and love action movies.
I am a fourth year medical student at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, with a Bachelors in Neuroscience from WashU, with over 10 years of tutoring experience. I have tutored students in middle and high school science, math, and english classes and have tutored college students in calculus classes. I am also a college and pre-med advisor, and have successfully advised over 15 students in their medical school journey. I am passionate about working one on one with motivated students who are committed to improving their academic performance and are ambitious in their goals.
I am well prepared for the lecture. Before I step out of the classroom, I make sure that each student has understood the lecture to the best of his/her capacity. The ability to motivate students and stimulate their desire to learn is a critical quality of a talented teacher. Every student has different background, ability, and motivation. Identifying each student's need is essential for helping reach his/her potential. My teaching objective is to promote critical thinking, effective use of scientific information, asking relevant questions and approaching these questions in a methodological way, and working in a collaborative manner. To ease the learning process, it is essential to use multimedia and Internet resources as complementary tools for traditional blackboard and chalk teaching.

Frequently Asked Questions
Middle school is a critical transition period where students juggle multiple subjects, increased homework demands, and evolving social dynamics. Common challenges include struggling with organization and time management, difficulty keeping up with faster-paced instruction, gaps in foundational skills from elementary school, and anxiety about grades and standardized testing. Personalized tutoring helps identify exactly where a student is falling behind and builds confidence through targeted support.
In a typical Bronx classroom with an 11.8:1 student-teacher ratio, teachers must pace lessons for the average student, which means some students get left behind while others aren't challenged enough. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction adapts to your student's exact learning style, pace, and goals—whether that's filling gaps, preparing for high school placement exams, or tackling advanced concepts. A tutor can spend time on what matters most to your student rather than moving through a set curriculum.
The first session focuses on getting to know your student and understanding their specific needs. A tutor will assess current skill levels, identify strengths and gaps, discuss learning goals, and ask about any challenges your student is facing in school. This information helps create a personalized plan tailored to your student's pace and learning style, ensuring every session builds toward meaningful progress.
Math and English are foundational—strong skills in these areas support success across all other subjects and are critical for high school placement exams. Science and social studies build important thinking skills, while strong organizational and study habits apply everywhere. Many students benefit from tutoring in their weakest subject first, then expanding to others as confidence grows. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can prioritize based on your student's needs and goals.
Look for concrete signs like improved test scores, better grades on assignments and quizzes, increased confidence when tackling homework, and fewer complaints about struggling with a subject. Many students also show progress through better organization, asking smarter questions in class, and taking more ownership of their learning. A good tutor will track progress regularly and adjust strategies if something isn't working, keeping you informed about what's improving.
Frequency depends on your student's specific needs and goals. Students tackling significant skill gaps often benefit from 2-3 sessions per week, while those seeking reinforcement or test prep might do well with 1-2 sessions weekly. Some students need intensive support during specific periods (like before exams or when starting a difficult unit) and less during other times. Varsity Tutors helps you find a schedule that fits your student's needs and your family's situation.
Yes—tutors work with your student's actual coursework and curriculum requirements. Whether your student attends a school in one of Bronx's 100 school districts, they're learning specific content aligned to New York State standards. A tutor can review your student's textbooks, assignments, and class notes to provide targeted support on exactly what's being taught, making tutoring directly relevant to classroom success.
Start by telling Varsity Tutors about your student's grade level, subject needs, and learning goals. You'll be matched with a tutor who has expertise in those areas and understands how to work with middle school students. Most students have their first session within days, and you can adjust the tutoring plan anytime based on how it's going. There's no long-term commitment—you're in control of the process.
