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 Hickory's 17 schools with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in the Hickory City Schools district or nearby, we match them with tutors who understand North Carolina's curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.
Tutors work directly with students on North Carolina Standard Course of Study objectives, whether that's mastering grade-level math concepts, building reading comprehension skills, or preparing for EOC (End of Course) exams. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify exactly where a student is struggling and fill those gaps before they compound, which is especially valuable in a classroom setting where teachers manage ratios like Hickory's 14.8:1 average.
Students in Hickory frequently seek help with math (especially algebra and geometry), English language arts, science, and test prep for standardized assessments. We also work with students on foundational skills, homework support, and subject-specific challenges that come up across Hickory's schools.
The first session focuses on understanding your student's strengths, challenges, and goals. The tutor will assess where they stand academically, discuss what's not clicking in the classroom, and create a personalized plan to help them succeed. This foundation allows the tutor to tailor instruction to your student's learning style from day one.
Many students see noticeable progress within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, the student's starting point, and how frequently they meet with their tutor. Regular sessions combined with practice between meetings create momentum—research on 1-on-1 instruction shows it's one of the most effective ways to accelerate learning and close achievement gaps.
Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have subject expertise and teaching experience. Each tutor is vetted and matched based on the student's needs—whether that's a teacher familiar with North Carolina standards, a subject specialist, or someone with specific test prep experience. You can discuss your student's needs, and we'll find the right fit.
Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and how frequently your student meets with their tutor. We work with families to create a plan that fits their budget and schedule. Contact us to discuss your student's needs and get personalized pricing information for Hickory.
Simply reach out and tell us about your student—their grade, the subject they need help with, and what you're hoping to achieve. We'll match them with a tutor and schedule an initial session. The process is straightforward, and you'll be connected with someone ready to make a real difference in your student's learning.
