MS Columbia University • BA Northwestern University
10+ Years Tutoring

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.

BA Washington University in St. Louis • Doctor of Philosophy, Computational Mathematics University of Chicago
9+ Years Tutoring

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.

James
BA Harvard University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a senior at Harvard College where I study chemistry, and I'll be attending Columbia Medical School next year. I have years of experience tutoring college students in math (mostly calculus) and chemistry including both general and organic chemistry. In addition, I am very familiar with all sections of the SAT and ACT having prepared several high school students for these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these tests, so long as he or she works hard to get to know the format of the tests and the most popular types of questions. I tutor because I love seeing students develop a genuine passion for the subjects they once disliked (such as math and science), once they understand the power of these subjects and their applications to the real world.

I am a recent Bachelor of Science from Cornell University, where my studies revolved around applying life science research to health and social studies. I have served as an undergraduate teaching assistant for several courses, and specializes in 1-on-1 tutoring for introductory biochemistry. Biochemistry is my favorite because of how many other disciplines it synthesizes. After achieving a 38 on the MCAT (99.1%), I began mentoring students on test preparation strategies.

BA Princeton University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Princeton University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Literature with minors Theater and Creative Writing (and won both Princeton's Creative Writing Award and its Theater Award). I was fortunate enough to have been selected by Joyce Carol Oates as one of her two advisees. Under her guidance, I wrote my first novel. Since graduation, I have been pursuing a career as a freelance theater director and writer. I began tutoring because I am passionate about education and its profound ability to change and improve lives, and I love working with children. In my own experience, having a great tutor had an undeniable impact on my learning, my performance, and my future, and I want to pass on those same opportunities. I tutor children anywhere from elementary school to high school age and also have extensive experience teaching acting and writing. Outside of tutoring, I'm busy in the New York theater scene working regularly on Broadway and Off as well as developing my own work. In my spare time, I love photography, reading, seeing films, and traveling.

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.
