Jennifer
Middle School Math Tutor • +38 Subjects
I am a graduate of Dartmouth College where I majored in History. I also received my M.Ed. from Boston College so that I could become a middle school and high school social studies teacher. Currently, I am working concurrently on my JD (at Duke University) and my Ph.D. in Education (at Boston College) and hope to one day combine the two degrees by working in policy. I have tutored or been in the education field my entire life and love it when I am able to help a scholar learn something new. I love to tutor a broad range of subjects but primarily focus on History and English. I particularly love working with scholars on their college essays and finding ways to get their unique voice and experience into writing. Education is crucial and it is important to work with scholars so that they realize the vast amount of knowledge there is in the world. In my free time, I love putting together puzzles, playing Xbox, or cheering on the Dallas Cowboys! Hobbies: reading, music, art, books, writing

Alex
Calculus Tutor • +26 Subjects
I am proficient at US History and can help an AP US History student towards a 4 or 5 on his or her exam. My concentration for both of my post-high school degrees was religion, and I would love to tutor students who are taking religion courses. My favorite hobby is reading, and I believe it is important to instill an enjoyment of reading in students as early as possible. I can help young people who need extra support to become better readers.

I am a sophomore at Duke University studying computer science and physics. Academically, I am drawn towards disciplines that employ logical problem-solving. I enjoy working with others to discover new intuitive ways of understanding problems.
Anastasia
Middle School Math Tutor • +35 Subjects
I am earning dual Bachelors of Science from Duke University and Duke Kunshan University (located in Kunshan, Jiangsu, China) in Behavioral Science-- intended to graduate in 2023. As a former Varsity Tutors student myself, I can confidently say that our services not only allow students to be proud of what they can achieve (for myself it was an SAT score and college admissions essays) but also who they are. Tutoring had a huge impact on my confidence in the classroom and other academic settings (i.e. testing, presentations, etc.) My greatest wish is to pay it forward.

I am a Marshall Scholar and will begin graduate studies at the University of Cambridge in the fall. Hobbies: running, yoga, reading, music, writing, art, books
Corey
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +38 Subjects
I am a graduate of Duke University with a dual Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering and Economics. I started tutoring in high school, working with Spanish-speaking ESL students in their native language as volunteer service. Due to my exceptional academic performance, family friends and members of my local church would often ask me to tutor their children, a request I would grant as much as my schedule allowed. My professional experience with tutoring only began in college, when I was hired as a teaching assistant for the Duke TIP summer program. After graduation, I worked for an international test prep company for two years. In addition to teaching classes on the SAT, ACT, and SAT II Subject Tests, I also provided private tutoring services in high school-level math, statistics, and physics.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +47 Subjects
I am currently a student at Cornell University. I've returned to my hometown of Holly Springs for the summer and am looking forward to working with students who went through the same experiences I did. My tutoring experiences began with my little sister and gradually expanded as I continued through high school. Now that I'm in college, I think I can offer great insight into how to achieve great test scores and everything else that may be useful for getting into college.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Forest City's 8 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a elementary, middle, or high school in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands their specific curriculum and school's expectations. With a 12.5:1 student-teacher ratio in Forest City schools, personalized 1-on-1 instruction can be especially valuable for filling gaps and accelerating progress.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand North Carolina's Standard Course of Study and how it's implemented in Forest City classrooms. Whether your student needs support with math fundamentals, reading comprehension, science concepts, or test preparation, personalized instruction targets the specific standards their school emphasizes. This localized approach helps students build confidence in areas where they're struggling while staying aligned with what their teachers expect.
Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific challenges. The tutor will ask about what subjects or topics are most difficult, review recent schoolwork or test results, and discuss your goals—whether that's improving grades, preparing for a test, or building long-term skills. By the end of the first meeting, you'll have a clear sense of how personalized instruction can help your student succeed.
Forest City students typically seek support in math (algebra, geometry, and foundational skills), English language arts (writing, reading comprehension, and test prep), science (biology, chemistry, and physical science), and standardized test preparation. Many students also benefit from tutoring in subjects like history and foreign languages. Because every student learns differently, personalized 1-on-1 instruction can address the exact concepts your student finds challenging, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and teaching experience. Many tutors have education degrees, professional certifications, or extensive background in their subject areas. All tutors are carefully selected to ensure they can teach effectively and adapt to each student's needs. When you connect with a tutor, you can review their background and experience to make sure they're a good fit for your student.
Yes, one of the biggest advantages of personalized tutoring is scheduling flexibility. Whether your Forest City student has sports, extracurricular activities, or other commitments, you can work with a tutor to find times that work for your family. Sessions can be arranged around school hours, weekends, or whenever your student learns best. This flexibility means your student gets the support they need without adding stress to an already packed schedule.
Many students show noticeable improvement within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring, especially when working on specific skills or test preparation. However, the timeline depends on your student's starting point, the subject, and how frequently they meet with their tutor. Research on personalized instruction shows that 1-on-1 tutoring can significantly accelerate learning compared to classroom-only instruction. Regular sessions combined with practice between meetings tend to produce the strongest results.
Getting started is simple—just tell us about your student's needs, grade level, and subjects where they need support. Varsity Tutors will match your student with a qualified tutor who fits their learning style and schedule. You can then connect with the tutor to discuss your student's goals and arrange your first session. Most families are matched with a tutor quickly, so your student can start getting personalized help soon.
