Reid
Certified Tutor
Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

Sabira
BA Johns Hopkins University
5+ Years Tutoring

I am currently attending Johns Hopkins University, pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Applied Math and Statistics. I love helping students and I love the feeling I get knowing that I was able to use my knowledge to make someone else happier. My favorite subject to teach is math because there are so many ways to learn it and if one way does not help I can use another. I used to teach taekwondo and interacted with all kinds of students, and I'm excited to help out more!

Maya
BA Yale University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a Yale University graduate with over seven years of tutoring experience with children and adults of all ages, specializing in writing, reading, English, college prep, and working with differently-abled learners. As a writer and entrepreneur, I have tutored since high school because it is something I truly enjoy. I approach tutoring with patience, and with finding a motivation to learn and excel that is specific to each student. With young adults and older learners, I approach each skill with purpose in reaching their individual goals and dreams, and with younger learners it is all personalize-practice-reward, working with parents and mentors to understand their needs and facilitate their individual learning and success. I'd love to hear from you and discuss how we can make the most out of our time together!

Frequently Asked Questions

With over 801 schools across Brooklyn serving nearly 300,000 students, families benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to their specific school's curriculum and expectations. Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who understand the unique academic standards and pacing of Brooklyn's diverse school districts, ensuring support that aligns with what students are learning in their classrooms.

Brooklyn's average student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1 means teachers are managing significant class sizes, making it challenging to provide individualized attention to every student. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills this gap by offering focused support on exactly what each student needs—whether that's catching up on foundational skills, preparing for Regents exams, or tackling advanced coursework.

New York's Regents exams are a critical benchmark for Brooklyn students, and personalized tutoring helps students master the specific content and test-taking strategies required. Tutors work with students on the exact standards and question formats they'll encounter, whether preparing for Algebra, English Language Arts, Living Environment, or other Regents subjects, giving them the targeted practice and feedback needed to perform confidently.

The first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify specific academic goals. The tutor will assess the student's current understanding, learning style, and areas where they need the most support—whether that's homework help, test prep, or building confidence in a challenging subject.

Tutoring can be as focused or broad as a student needs. Some Brooklyn students benefit from concentrated support in one subject like math or English, while others work with tutors across multiple subjects depending on their schedule and academic priorities. You can adjust the focus at any time based on what's most helpful for your student.

Many students notice increased confidence and better understanding within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline varies depending on the student's starting point and academic goals. For standardized test prep or mastering a specific concept, students often see measurable progress within 4-8 weeks of regular sessions; long-term academic growth builds with sustained support over a semester or school year.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have demonstrated expertise in their subject areas, whether that's teaching experience, advanced degrees, or proven success helping students achieve their academic goals. Each tutor is carefully matched to your student based on their needs, learning style, and specific academic challenges.

Personalized instruction is scheduled around your student's availability—whether that's after school, weekends, or during breaks. This flexibility helps Brooklyn families balance tutoring with sports, extracurriculars, and other commitments while ensuring students get consistent, focused academic support when they need it most.
