Who needs tutoring?
No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.

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 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 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'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 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 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'm eager to help you in your education. I'm a recent graduate of Harvard College looking to apply to law school. My senior thesis was written on John Dewey's ideas of education, which I deeply believe has incredible power to transform individuals and society.
I am a graduate of MIT. I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with minors in Management Science and Ancient and Medieval Studies. Since graduation, I have started my PhD at Georgia Tech in Operations Research. Throughout my career I have TA'd several math and computer science courses at the college level. I have also taught at summer programs for gifted middle school and high school students. I am passionate about tutoring kids in math and science because I think that a strong foundation in STEM at an early age can set the tone for their future. In my spare time I like to engage in athletics, and was a Division 1 rower in college.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ancient Greek tutoring typically covers foundational elements like the Greek alphabet, grammar fundamentals (cases, verb conjugations, tenses), and vocabulary building. Depending on your level and goals, tutoring can also include reading classical texts, understanding syntax, cultural context, and preparation for standardized assessments like the National Latin Exam's Ancient Greek component or AP Classics exams. A tutor will tailor the focus to match your current proficiency and learning objectives.
Buffalo's 24 school districts serve over 45,000 students across 98 schools, though Ancient Greek is typically offered at selective high schools or through honors programs rather than as a standard curriculum offering. If your school doesn't offer Ancient Greek, personalized tutoring is an excellent way to pursue the language independently. Tutors can work with you at your own pace, whether you're exploring the language out of academic interest or preparing for college-level coursework.
The most common challenges include mastering the complex case system (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, vocative), understanding verb conjugations across different tenses and moods, and adjusting to unfamiliar syntax compared to English. Many students also struggle with the transition from learning vocabulary to actually reading connected passages. A tutor can break down these concepts systematically, provide targeted practice, and build confidence as you progress from foundational grammar to authentic texts.
Most students begin reading simplified or adapted passages after mastering basic grammar and building a foundational vocabulary of 200-300 common words—typically after 2-3 months of consistent study. Once you're ready, tutors often start with shorter excerpts from authors like Aesop or simplified versions of Homer, gradually progressing to authentic classical texts. The timeline varies based on your learning pace and prior language experience, but reading real Greek is one of the most rewarding aspects of the journey.
Tutors help you develop test-taking strategies specific to Greek assessments, such as efficiently parsing complex sentences, managing time during translation sections, and recognizing grammatical patterns quickly. They'll also identify your weaker areas—whether that's verb forms, declensions, or reading comprehension—and create focused practice plans. Regular practice with authentic exam questions and timed drills builds both accuracy and confidence, helping you approach assessments with a clear strategy rather than anxiety.
No prior language experience is necessary—many students begin Ancient Greek as their first formal language study. However, if you've studied Latin, another Romance language, or even modern Greek, you'll have an advantage with recognizing word roots and grammatical concepts. A tutor will assess your starting point during your first session and design a personalized learning path, whether you're a complete beginner or building on existing language skills.
For steady progress, most students benefit from meeting 1-2 times per week, with consistent independent practice between sessions. If you're preparing for a specific exam or want to accelerate your learning, more frequent sessions combined with daily practice can help you progress faster. Your tutor can recommend a schedule based on your goals, current level, and available time—the key is consistency rather than intensity, as language learning builds gradually over time.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who can provide personalized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to your learning style and goals. During your first session, you'll discuss your background, objectives, and preferred learning approach—whether you want to focus on grammar foundations, reading classical texts, or exam preparation. The tutor will then create a customized plan to help you build confidence and proficiency in Ancient Greek.
