Denver
Calculus Tutor • +20 Subjects
I am an avid cell molecular biologist, anatomist and neuroscientist with a passion for educating young minds to reach their fullest potential. I have more than a decade of experience in teaching and research at College/University level. Having lived and taught on 2 different continents has enabled me to become more attentive to student's needs and do my best to set them up for future success. My philosophy is that reading and teaching can stimulate the mind but thinking will plant and grow ideas. The approach I use is inspired from my own experiences in learning biological sciences where there seemed to be always an absurd amount of material to be read and understood. By centering on the core principles, I believe it significantly reduces the need to 'cram' concepts but to apply content that they have learnt. My job is to lead students to learn more about themselves as it relates to the subject, that way the knowledge acquired results in permanent change of behavior.

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.

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.

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.

Katrina
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 Gastonia's 29 schools and all three school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in Gaston County Schools, Gastonia City Schools, or another district in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can provide targeted support.
Tutors working with Gastonia students are familiar with North Carolina's Standard Course of Study and can help students master grade-level expectations in math, English language arts, science, and social studies. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify specific gaps and build skills at a pace that works for each student, which is especially valuable given Gastonia's average student-teacher ratio of 15.9:1 in classroom settings.
Gastonia students frequently seek help with algebra, geometry, and other high school math courses, as well as reading comprehension and writing skills. We also work with students preparing for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, and those needing support in science courses like biology and chemistry. The specific needs vary by grade level, so tutors tailor their approach to each student's academic goals.
The first session is a get-to-know-you meeting where the tutor learns about your student's academic strengths, challenges, and goals. They'll review recent schoolwork, discuss what your student is studying in their Gastonia school classes, and create a personalized plan for ongoing support. This foundation helps the tutor deliver instruction that directly supports what your student is learning in class.
Absolutely. Research on 1-on-1 instruction shows it's one of the most effective ways to help students catch up and build confidence. Tutors work with Gastonia students to fill specific knowledge gaps, reinforce classroom concepts, and develop stronger study habits—all at a pace that allows the student to truly master the material rather than just keep up.
Yes, tutoring isn't just for students who are struggling. Advanced Gastonia students benefit from personalized instruction that challenges them to go deeper into subjects they're passionate about, prepare for advanced placement (AP) or honors courses, or explore topics beyond the standard curriculum. Tutors can accelerate learning and help gifted students stay engaged.
Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions you choose. Many Gastonia families start with one or two sessions per week and adjust based on their student's progress and upcoming academic milestones. We can discuss what works best for your budget and your student's needs when you connect with us.
Simply reach out to let us know your student's grade level, subject, and goals. We'll match them with a tutor who fits their needs and schedule. Most Gastonia families are able to connect with a tutor quickly and can begin personalized instruction within days.
