I enjoy helping students feel a sense of achievement that feeling that happens when, after struggling with and working through a challenging question together, the student "gets" it. Their eyes light up, they smile, laugh, put their arms up in a "v" and scream "yes!"... or simply says "yay" in subd...

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.

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

Matthew

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Samuel

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Quinn

Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Troy has 6 school districts serving over 8,100 students across 20 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a Troy City School District school or one of the surrounding district schools, tutors can support their specific curriculum and academic goals.

New York has rigorous standards for math, ELA, science, and social studies at every grade level. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand these state benchmarks and can provide targeted instruction to help students master grade-level skills, prepare for state assessments, and build confidence in challenging subjects.

The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's learning style, current strengths, and areas where they need support. The tutor will ask about their goals—whether that's improving grades, preparing for a test, or building foundational skills—and create a personalized plan tailored to their needs.

Students in Troy typically seek help with math (especially algebra and geometry), English/language arts, science, and test preparation for standardized exams like the SAT and ACT. Varsity Tutors also connects students with tutors in foreign languages, history, and other subjects based on individual needs.

While Troy's average student-teacher ratio is reasonable, personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's unique learning style and pace. This targeted approach is especially valuable for students who learn differently, need to accelerate, or struggle with specific concepts that require deeper explanation and practice.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Varsity Tutors works with families to find options that fit their budget, whether that's weekly sessions, intensive test prep, or occasional support. Contact us to discuss your student's needs and get personalized pricing.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have subject expertise and experience teaching students in New York. Tutors are vetted professionals who understand how to explain concepts clearly and adapt their teaching to help each student succeed.

You'll see progress through improved grades, better performance on assignments and tests, and increased confidence in the subject. Tutors provide regular feedback on your student's growth, and you can track how they're working toward their specific academic goals over time.
