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.

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.

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'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.

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.

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.

Laura

College Algebra Tutor • +37 Subjects

I am a graduate of Princeton University, class of 2014. I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with a focus on recent American economic history. I was a pre-med, molecular biology major for my first two years at Princeton, and while I ended up deciding not to pursue a career in the sciences, I took many science classes in high school (AP) and in college, and still enjoy these subjects. Since graduating from Princeton, I have moved to Manhattan where I have started a job as an analyst at a private equity firm. I tutored professionally in Princeton for three years, and am excited to continue working with students as a Varsity Tutors tutor. I have experience tutoring elementary school math, Algebra, Algebra II/Pre-calc, English literature, writing (esp. essay editing), Biology (including AP), Chemistry (including accelerated and AP), SAT, and French (through French III). My own educational experience has had a formative impact on my style as a tutor. I attended a Montessori school from pre-school through 8th grade, and was heavily influenced by the focus on independent learning, discovery, and exploration as a way to develop a more thorough and better understanding of academic subjects. I am passionate about making sure that students enjoy what they are learning, and I try to individualize tutor sessions to match the specific needs of each student. Both my parents are teachers (one a violin teacher and another a professor), which has also influenced my ability and desire to help students learn.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students across Watertown's 12 schools and both school districts. Whether your student attends a school in the Watertown City School District or another local district, we match them with tutors who understand the specific curriculum and academic standards they're working with.

With over 4,100 students across Watertown's schools, we see consistent demand for math and English language arts support, particularly as students prepare for New York State Regents exams. Science and test prep for standardized assessments like the SAT and ACT are also popular, along with support for students working to meet grade-level proficiency standards.

Watertown's average student-teacher ratio of 12.3:1 is reasonable, but even in well-staffed classrooms, individual students can struggle with pacing or learning style mismatches. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's specific gaps, learning pace, and goals—something that's difficult to achieve in any classroom setting, regardless of size.

Yes. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors experienced in New York's Regents curriculum across all subjects—Math, English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. Tutors can help your student master the specific content, question types, and test-taking strategies needed to perform well on these important state assessments.

During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current understanding of the subject, identify specific areas of struggle, and learn about their learning style and goals. This foundation allows the tutor to create a personalized plan that targets exactly what your student needs most, whether that's filling knowledge gaps, building confidence, or preparing for an upcoming test.

Yes. We serve students across both of Watertown's school districts and understand the curriculum standards, pacing, and expectations in each. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, we'll match your student with a tutor familiar with their specific district's approach and academic requirements.

Many Watertown students benefit from tutoring in more than one subject, especially during busy academic periods or when preparing for Regents exams. You can connect with different tutors for different subjects, or work with a tutor who specializes in multiple areas. We'll help you find the right match based on your student's needs.

Whether your student is working to improve grades, meet proficiency standards, prepare for standardized tests, or get ahead in their current coursework, tutoring is customized to their specific goal. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can tailor their instruction to help your student succeed on whatever measure matters most to your family.
