Philosophy majors who actually engage with primary sources inevitably end up tangling with Greek — and Andrew's BA in Philosophy means he's spent serious time working through Plato and Aristotle in their original language, not just in translation. He teaches Greek vocabulary and sentence structure by anchoring them to the philosophical texts where students encounter the language most, making unfamiliar constructions feel purposeful rather than arbitrary.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
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.
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my undergraduate degree in political science. Right after graduation, I worked as an academic and test prep tutor as well as admissions consultant in Hong Kong. For the past two years, I worked with a number of students to help prepare them for college in the United States.

Frequently Asked Questions
Greek instruction typically follows a structured progression from foundational concepts through advanced proficiency. Students start with the Greek alphabet, basic vocabulary, and fundamental grammar structures like noun declensions and verb conjugations. As they progress, they advance to reading comprehension, composition, and literary analysis of classical texts. Many Brooklyn students study Ancient Greek through high school advanced courses or university-level programs, while others pursue Modern Greek. The pace and depth depend on whether students are taking Greek as part of their regular coursework or preparing for proficiency assessments.
Greek presents unique challenges that often frustrate learners. The writing system—including the Greek alphabet and diacritical marks—requires focused practice to master. The complex grammar system, particularly noun declensions (cases, numbers, and genders) and verb conjugations with multiple tenses and moods, demands systematic study and repetition. Additionally, exposure to authentic Greek texts and conversation practice can be limited in traditional classroom settings, making personalized tutoring valuable for building real proficiency. Many students also struggle with transitioning from memorization to genuine comprehension of classical or modern texts.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify your specific weak areas—whether that's grammar concepts, vocabulary retention, or reading comprehension—and tailor lessons accordingly. Rather than moving at the pace of a classroom, tutoring focuses on your learning speed and style, using targeted practice and spaced repetition to reinforce concepts. Tutors can also provide immediate feedback on pronunciation and composition, offer cultural context that enriches understanding, and create customized study schedules that fit your goals and timeline. Research on personalized learning shows that 1-on-1 instruction significantly accelerates progress compared to traditional group settings.
Greek proficiency is often measured using the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) scale, which ranges from A1 (beginner) through C2 (mastery). Many students begin at A1, learning basic vocabulary and survival phrases, and progress through A2, B1, and B2 levels with consistent study. Advanced learners work toward C1 or C2 proficiency, enabling fluent conversation and sophisticated literary analysis. For Ancient Greek, proficiency is typically measured by the complexity of texts students can read and translate with minimal reference materials. Your tutor will assess your current level and create a clear pathway toward your specific goals, whether that's conversational fluency, academic competency, or classical text mastery.
Most students see meaningful progress with consistent weekly sessions of 60-90 minutes, though the ideal frequency depends on your goals and current level. Beginners often benefit from twice-weekly sessions to build momentum with the alphabet and foundational grammar, while intermediate learners typically maintain progress with weekly meetings. Frequency also matters less than consistency—regular practice between sessions is crucial for language learning, as spaced repetition helps solidify vocabulary and grammar patterns in long-term memory. Your tutor can recommend a personalized schedule based on whether you're preparing for a specific deadline, working toward academic requirements, or pursuing personal fluency goals.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors in Brooklyn who specialize in Greek instruction at your proficiency level and align with your learning goals. When you share your background—whether you're a complete beginner, a high school student in an AP or honors Greek course, or an adult learner—Varsity Tutors matches you with tutors who have relevant expertise and teaching experience. You can discuss your specific needs, preferred learning style, and schedule flexibility during an initial consultation. This personalized matching process helps ensure you work with someone who understands your goals and can create lessons tailored to your learning pace and objectives.
Absolutely. Personalized tutoring is ideal for developing conversational confidence, since you have dedicated one-on-one time to practice speaking without the pressure or pace constraints of a classroom. Tutors can engage you in dialogue on relevant topics, correct pronunciation and grammar in real-time, and gradually build your ability to express more complex ideas. For Modern Greek learners, tutors can incorporate authentic materials, cultural contexts, and practical conversation scenarios. For Ancient Greek learners, tutors build reading fluency and comprehension of classical texts. Consistent speaking practice with immediate, constructive feedback accelerates fluency development far more effectively than studying grammar rules alone.
