I am a rising senior at Harvard College pursuing an AB in Government. Academically, I have diverse interests, including history, language, math, physics, philosophy, music, and politics. In high school, I tutored elementary, middle, and high school students in music, math, ACT and SAT prep, and Spanish. At Harvard, I spent a year as a course assistant in the math department, helping to teach introductory undergraduate calculus. Currently, I volunteer with the Leadership Institute at Harvard College (LIHC) as part of its Social Outreach Committee. This work involves teaching a weekly course called "Fundamentals of Leadership" to a class of middle school students. Overall, I have found my experiences tutoring math to be the most rewarding.

I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in violin performance at the Juilliard School. I have tutored privately and through Chegg Tutoring, Varsity Tutors, PrepExpert, and iLearn World throughout high school and college, with most of my experience being in standardized test prep and English. The most fulfilling moments that I have with my students are when I see them applying previous lessons and skills to new challenges. I believe that a good teacher not only helps a student tackle specific, formulaic kinds of questions, but also imparts the skills necessary for adapting to the diverse intellectual challenges that life presents. My goal is always for my students to leave their sessions having learned something that will be useful for years to come, not just on the next test that they are preparing for. After all, education is a lifelong process!
Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Camille
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a Duke alum currently working toward a Master of Science in Narrative Medicine at Columbia University. As a pre-med student who majored in African and African American Studies, I have experience navigating a variety of disciplines. I also have experience tutoring in a number of subject areas, and have worked with diverse sets of students who have varied in age, grade level, and coursework. I began tutoring almost seven years ago working with disadvantaged students on mathematics. Since then, I have constructed curriculum for a program for middle school girls, and spent a semester training in preparation to be writing tutor at Duke’s writing center which serves graduate and undergraduate students across disciplines. I have a love for learning, and an appreciation for the richness that a interdisciplinary education provides. Helping others better understand their course materials, and, in turn, themselves as life-long learners, is a truly enriching experience.
Emma
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +38 Subjects
I'm a recent graduate from Harvard University, where I majored in Neurobiology with a minor in Economics. I particularly enjoy tutoring for the SAT and other standardized tests, because I believe that with enough practice and some solid test-taking strategies, anyone can master these. As a former Division I runner, I've learned the importance of persistence and hard work, and I love sharing these values with my students and helping them to make significant gains. Outside of tutoring, I work as a scientist at a healthcare startup, and when I'm not at work I'm likely to be found running around Central Park, debating public policy, or practicing my cooking skills.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. With 64 school districts and 472 schools across New York, students follow different curricula and pacing. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand New York's diverse educational landscape—whether you're in a large urban district, suburban system, or charter network—and can tailor instruction to your specific school's standards and expectations.
New York students typically seek help with math, English/ELA, science, and test prep—especially for Regents exams, SAT, and ACT. With New York's rigorous state standards and competitive academic environment, many students also benefit from tutoring in foreign languages, chemistry, and algebra as they progress through middle and high school.
Absolutely. Regents exams are a cornerstone of New York's education system, and tutors can provide focused preparation for subjects like Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Chemistry, Living Environment, U.S. History, and English Language Arts. Personalized instruction helps students master the specific content and question formats they'll encounter on test day.
New York's average student-teacher ratio is 11.3:1, which means classroom teachers are managing many students with varying needs. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your child's learning style, pace, and specific gaps—something that's difficult to achieve in a traditional classroom setting, no matter how dedicated the teacher.
The first session is about getting to know your child—their current level, learning style, and specific challenges. The tutor will assess where they stand in their subject, understand what they're working on in school, and develop a personalized plan to address gaps and build confidence. This foundation ensures all future sessions are targeted and effective.
Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can work around your family's schedule—whether that's after school, weekends, or during school breaks. With so many students juggling academics, extracurriculars, and test prep in New York, flexible scheduling is essential, and tutors can adapt to what works best for you.
Struggling students often need targeted support tailored to their specific challenges, which 1-on-1 tutoring provides. Whether your child is behind in a core subject, needs help keeping up with New York's standards, or lacks confidence, a tutor can break concepts into manageable pieces, fill knowledge gaps, and rebuild their foundation—all at a pace that works for them.
Simply tell us about your child's needs—their grade, subject, and specific challenges—and we'll match them with a qualified tutor. From there, you'll schedule your first session at a time that works for your family. The process is straightforward, and you'll be connected with someone ready to support your child's success.
