Rhea
AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects
I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.
Jeffrey
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
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! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. With 25 school districts and over 102 schools across the Rochester area, Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a Rochester City School District school, a suburban district, or a charter school, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and New York State standards they're working toward.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is proven to accelerate learning—research shows it can be significantly more effective than classroom instruction alone. Tutors working with Rochester students focus on the specific New York State standards and benchmarks their schools emphasize, whether that's Regents exams, Common Core expectations, or district-specific goals. This targeted approach helps students build confidence and mastery in the exact areas where they need it most.
The first session is a chance for the tutor and student to connect and establish goals. The tutor will assess your student's current level, understand what they're working on in their Rochester school, and identify specific areas where support would help most. From there, they'll create a personalized plan that aligns with your student's pace and learning style.
While Rochester schools maintain a reasonable student-teacher ratio, classroom instruction still needs to serve many different learning levels and paces at once. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills that gap by providing undivided attention on your student's specific challenges—whether that's catching up, getting ahead, or preparing for an important exam. This individualized approach helps students progress faster than they might in a group setting.
Rochester students seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, from core academics like math and English to test prep for SAT, ACT, and Regents exams, as well as AP and honors courses. We also connect students with tutors for language learning, science, and specialized subjects. Whatever your student needs help with—whether it's struggling with algebra or preparing for an AP exam—Varsity Tutors can find a match.
Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families across Rochester to create plans that fit different budgets—whether that's weekly sessions, intensive test prep, or ongoing support. Contact us to discuss your student's specific needs and get a personalized quote.
Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and teaching experience. Many tutors working with Rochester students are teachers, subject matter experts, or experienced educators. We vet all tutors to ensure they're qualified and can work effectively with students in the Rochester area.
The best time to start is whenever you notice your student could benefit from extra support—whether that's early in the school year to prevent gaps, before a major exam or Regents test, or during a challenging unit. Many Rochester families also use tutoring during summer to prepare for the next school year or to maintain skills. Reaching out early gives your student more time to build confidence and see results.
