I am a civil engineer currently working in Manhattan, NY and have recently graduated from Cooper Union with a degree in civil engineering. I have over five years of professional tutoring experience in standardized tests, mathematics of all levels, physics, and more. I strive to make learning fun, comprehensive, and engaging. My method is to ensure that students understand the fundamentals and gradually progress to more challenging problems to provide students with a complete grasp of the subject and empower them for future study. My greatest strengths are my patience and thoroughness while tutoring. In my spare time, I enjoy yoga, reading, and concerts.

Cristino
BA New York University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am excited to tutor because I know what it feels like to get stuck and I'm happy to help people who encounter challenges in their studies. Though frustrating, there's something really valuable about these moments when you're not quite getting it. It means that by proceeding slowly and practicing a new concept or strategy you'll learn a new skill that will stick with you even more because it took some work to master. My focus in teaching is in French and, more broadly, language arts. I studied French Literature at New York University because of my passion for literature, creativity, and expression. Learning a new language opens up more than just a new literary world but also lets you tap into another set of human experiences, expression, emotion, history. I think the greatest reward in teaching French and language arts is helping a student connect with a text and gain access to someone else's experience, what someone else thought important enough to write down, and then how this connection can help reframe the reader's thinking - deepening, challenging, or shifting the ways our own thought. Apart from the study and appreciation of literature, learning a language at a linguistic level is invaluable. It promotes human connection, openness of thought, and pushes one's own capacity and diversity of self-expression.

Mandy
BS Stony Brook University

Hi! My name is Mandy, and I am a Biochemistry and Psychology double major with a minor in Finance at Stony Brook University. I am passionate about helping students build confidence in their abilities and achieve their academic goals. As an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for Introductory Biology Laboratory at Stony Brook University, I work closely with students to explain complex concepts, guide laboratory activities, teach data analysis using Excel, and help students improve their scientific writing skills. Through this experience, I have learned that every student learns differently, and I enjoy adapting my teaching style to meet each student's individual needs. I tutor biology, chemistry, psychology, ACT preparation, and study skills for middle school, high school, and college students. My approach focuses on breaking down challenging topics into manageable steps while encouraging students to think critically and develop effective problem-solving strategies. I strive to create a supportive and welcoming environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and learning from mistakes. As a student myself, I understand the challenges that come with balancing coursework, exams, and extracurricular responsibilities. Because of this, I emphasize not only subject mastery but also strong study habits, organization, and confidence-building techniques that students can apply throughout their academic journey. Whether you're preparing for an important exam, looking to improve your grades, or seeking a deeper understanding of a subject, I would love to help. I look forward to working with you and supporting your success!

Daniel
BA Stony Brook University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a sophomore at Stony Brook University on the pre- med track studying towards a major in Psychology. I love Biology, chemistry, and Psychology and am currently teaching my own chemistry course at Stony Brook University under the guidance of Dr. Troy Wolfskill, the head of the chemistry department at the university. So far I love my teaching position as it not only brings me happiness in helping others succeed, but it helps me build a stronger understanding on how to be a better instructor. When I teach, I try not to lecture the student, but engage them by connecting what I teach with real-life scenarios. Especially in hard sciences like biology, this makes it much easier for students to understand the topic. Outside of academia, I am a professional swimmer of 15 years, I love to hike, bike, and scuba dive. I also work part time as a model and am a market specialist for Bai, a drink company based in the northeastern America.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students throughout Staten Island with qualified tutors. With 108 schools and 9 school districts across the island, we work with students from diverse neighborhoods and educational backgrounds to provide personalized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to each student's needs.

Staten Island students frequently seek help with math, English language arts, and standardized test preparation—particularly for the New York State Regents exams and college entrance tests like the SAT and ACT. We also connect students with tutors for sciences, social studies, and foreign languages to support success across New York's rigorous academic standards.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus on the specific skills and concepts each student struggles with, rather than moving at a class pace. This targeted approach is especially valuable in Staten Island's diverse school environment, where class sizes average 12.2 students per teacher—tutoring fills gaps and accelerates mastery of New York State learning standards in ways large classroom settings cannot.

The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand the student's academic goals, current level, and learning style. They'll typically assess where the student stands in their subject, discuss any specific challenges or upcoming exams, and create a personalized plan for moving forward together.

Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors experienced in preparing for Regents exams in subjects like Algebra, Geometry, Living Environment, Global History, and U.S. History. Tutors can focus on high-value topics, practice with released exam questions, and build test-taking strategies to help students perform confidently on test day.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your frequency of sessions. We work with families to create flexible tutoring plans that fit different budgets and schedules. You can discuss rates and package options when you connect with a tutor.
