Plainview families know the academic stakes are real — from Regents exams and Common Core benchmarks to SAT/ACT targets and AP coursework, the path to competitive college admissions runs through a demanding set of New York State standards. With over 2,350 students across five local schools, even a favorable student-teacher ratio leaves little room for the individualized attention that turns solid performance into a standout application.
That's exactly what personalized 1-on-1 instruction delivers. The first session starts with a genuine assessment of where your student is and where they want to go — whether that's Regents prep, algebra mastery, or AP support — and builds a targeted plan from there. Varsity Tutors matches students with background-checked tutors based on learning style and goals, with scheduling flexible enough to fit around extracurriculars, evenings, or weekends.

James
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +41 Subjects
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.
Johari
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +20 Subjects
I am an actor/composer/lyricist who loves to write new showtunes. Musical theatre is something I have grown to love, and the love, surprisingly, stems from my own devotion to cartoons and video games. But, make no mistake, while I can often be found watching an episode of Justice League, playing Smash, or giving the City of Angels score another listen, I will always put you first. Hobbies: art, reading, writing, books, music

I am patient and collaborative. I work with my students to help them come to the answers on their own, and I find creative and fun ways for students to think about the material in a new light.

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.
Charlie
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects
I am a current student at Cornell University with a 4.0 GPA. In High School, I was a National AP Scholar and a National Merit Finalist. I am passionate about helping students succeed, and I am patient and enjoy walking through multiple methods to help a student find what works best for them. I enjoy helping students reach their potential. While I tutor a range of subjects, I am most interested in and best equipped to tutor students in SAT prep (math, English, and test-taking strategies), history, economics, and statistics. In my spare time, I am likely watching baseball, playing basketball, or watching The Office.

I'm a recent graduate of Northwestern University, a native New Yorker, and a recent addition to Varsity Tutors. I grew up in Westchester County, where I volunteered as an assistant creative writing teacher in high school. After high school, I moved to Evanston, Illinois for school. I studied a wide variety of subjects in college: from Medieval Literature to Buddhist Psychology. I moved back to New York after graduating to pursue a career in the arts. I currently work as a reader for the literary director of an Off-Broadway theatre company.
Michael
Calculus Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am currently a fourth year medical student at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and graduated Suma Cum Laude from Yeshiva College with a BA in Biology and Music. As a Writing Center tutor, I worked with undergraduate and graduate students looking to improve their writing, and have also tutored Regents-level biology and chemistry. Most recently, I tutored for Kaplan, teaching an MCAT preparatory course and working one-on-one with students. When not studying, I like to ride my bike, train Taekwondo, play blues guitar (or bass, or piano, or saxophone, or drums), and read a good book.
Esther
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +35 Subjects
I'm currently a Junior at the University of Pennsylvania majoring in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics and a 2014 graduate of Phillips Academy. As a product of great tutoring myself, I focus on being patient, flexible, and kind with all of my students. Outside of my academics, I'm a member of the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority and am heavily involved in student theatre, usually directing 2 productions each year. Dogs of any and every breed, iced coffee, and spending time in NYC are a few of my favorite things!
Sherry
Middle School Math Tutor • +34 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, with a bachelor's degree in psychology and linguistics. Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree in speech-language pathology at Teachers College, Columbia University. In the past, I have worked as a teacher's aide in a public school classroom, a mentor to middle school girls, an instructor and tutor at the literacy education organization 826, and a summer camp counselor. I tutor a diverse range of subjects, and I find that I especially enjoy tutoring language arts, reading, and writing at all levels, from elementary school all the way up to college/grad school test prep. As a tutor, I am committed to helping students reach their full potential as learners. Throughout my years as an educator, I have seen firsthand the remarkable academic growth that can occur when tutors provide students with the individualized support that they need. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, journaling, and learning about other languages and cultures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Plainview's schools with personalized tutoring support. With 5 schools in the area serving over 2,350 students, we work with learners at every level—whether they're in elementary, middle, or high school—to help them succeed with their specific coursework and academic goals.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to target the exact New York State standards your student needs to master, whether that's Regents exam preparation, Common Core math concepts, or English language arts skills. Tutors work at your student's pace to fill gaps and build confidence in the specific content areas tested by the state.
While Plainview's average class size is reasonable, individual students often need focused attention on their specific challenges—whether that's test anxiety, a particular math concept, or advanced enrichment. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring provides the dedicated, customized instruction that classroom teachers simply can't offer when managing a full class, allowing your student to progress at their own pace.
During the initial session, the tutor will assess your student's current level, understand their specific challenges and goals, and build rapport to create a comfortable learning environment. This foundation helps the tutor design a personalized plan that targets your student's needs, whether that's catching up, keeping pace with Plainview curriculum, or getting ahead.
Plainview students frequently seek tutoring in math (especially algebra, geometry, and Regents prep), English/language arts, science, and test preparation for standardized exams like the SAT and ACT. We also connect students with tutors for AP courses, Regents exams, and subject-specific support across the full range of coursework offered in local schools.
Getting started is simple: you tell us about your student's needs, and we match them with an expert tutor who's a fit for their learning style and goals. Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions—we're happy to discuss options that work for your family's budget and schedule when you connect with us.
Tutors help with both homework support and test preparation. Many Plainview students benefit from homework help that teaches them how to approach problems independently, while others focus on preparing for Regents exams, SAT/ACT, or AP tests. The tutor will work with you to determine what your student needs most.
Tutoring sessions are scheduled around your student's availability—whether that's after school, evenings, weekends, or during school breaks. We understand that Plainview students juggle academics, extracurriculars, and other commitments, so personalized instruction can be arranged to fit your family's unique schedule.
