Mica
Certified Math Tutor
Mica
BS Stanford University
9+ Years Tutoring

From arithmetic fundamentals through calculus, Mica covers a wide range of math levels and adapts her explanations to match where a student is getting stuck. Her 32 ACT composite reflects the kind of cross-subject quantitative fluency that lets her connect math concepts to science and real-world applications — particularly useful for students who need to see why a formula matters before they'll remember it.

Andrew
Certified Math Tutor
Andrew
BA Yale University • Current Grad Student, Medicine (MD) Stanford University
9+ Years Tutoring

Medical school demands a kind of math fluency most students don't associate with doctors — pharmacokinetics, biostatistics, interpreting quantitative research — and Andrew brings that applied rigor to everything from pre-algebra through calculus. He's especially good at showing students the connective tissue between topics, like how proportional reasoning in middle school math quietly becomes the foundation for the algebraic thinking that trips people up later. He scored a 36 on the ACT and is rated 5.0 by students.

Wesley
BA University of California-Irvine
1+ Years Tutoring

From arithmetic through differential equations, Wesley's subject range in math reflects a genuine depth built across two engineering programs and graduate-level biophysical chemistry research. He's particularly effective at showing students how earlier concepts — like fraction operations or function behavior — connect to the harder material ahead, so each topic feels like a logical next step rather than a disconnected unit.

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Liz
MS Simmons College • BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

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!

Christopher
BA Harvard College
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Charles
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects you with math tutors who understand Rochester's school curricula and can personalize instruction to your specific needs. We assess your current level, learning style, and goals—whether you're working on algebra fundamentals, preparing for Regents exams, or building confidence in problem-solving—and match you with a tutor who's experienced in those areas.

Your first session is about building rapport and understanding where you are. The tutor will assess your current math skills, identify specific challenges (like word problems or multi-step equations), and learn your learning style. Together, you'll create a personalized plan that aligns with your school's curriculum and addresses your goals, whether that's improving grades, mastering a tough concept, or test prep.

Expert tutors focus on helping you understand the 'why' behind math concepts, not just the 'how.' By working through problems together, asking guiding questions, and showing connections between ideas, tutors help you see patterns and build deeper understanding. This approach—moving from procedural to conceptual—makes it easier to tackle unfamiliar problems and builds genuine confidence in math.

Students often struggle with word problems (translating language into equations), multi-step equations, graphing, and geometry proofs. Many also experience math anxiety, which can block learning even when they understand the concepts. Tutors are skilled at breaking these challenges into manageable pieces, showing clear problem-solving strategies, and building confidence through practice and positive reinforcement.

Yes. Tutors working with Rochester students are familiar with Regents requirements across Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. They can help you understand the specific topics tested, practice with past exams, develop test-taking strategies, and address weak areas before exam day. Personalized prep is especially helpful for building the conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills Regents exams require.

Showing work is a critical skill—it helps you catch mistakes and demonstrates understanding to teachers. Tutors model clear, organized problem-solving steps and guide you through writing out your reasoning. Over time, this becomes a habit that improves both accuracy and your ability to explain math concepts, which is exactly what teachers and standardized tests are looking for.

Absolutely. Math anxiety is common and very treatable through patient, personalized instruction. Tutors create a low-pressure environment where you can ask questions freely, work at your own pace, and build confidence through small wins. As you understand concepts better and see yourself solving problems successfully, anxiety naturally decreases and your relationship with math improves.

Pricing varies based on the tutor's experience, your specific needs, and how frequently you meet. Varsity Tutors works with tutors at different price points to fit various budgets. We recommend discussing your goals and frequency during your initial conversation so we can connect you with tutors whose rates align with your needs.
