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
Varsity Tutors connects students across Kinston's 16 schools in both the Lenoir County and Kinston City school districts. Whether your student attends a elementary, middle, or high school in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and school expectations.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is designed to help students master North Carolina's Standard Course of Study across all subjects. Tutors work with students on the specific skills and content their schools emphasize, whether that's reading comprehension, math proficiency, science inquiry, or social studies standards—ensuring they're prepared for classroom assessments and future academic success.
Students in Kinston most frequently seek tutoring in math, reading and language arts, and science—subjects that build foundational skills for success in higher grades. We also work with students preparing for EOG (End-of-Grade) and EOC (End-of-Course) exams that are important benchmarks in North Carolina schools.
Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's learning style, current academic level, and specific goals. They'll assess strengths and areas for growth, then create a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs and your family's priorities—whether that's improving grades, building confidence, or preparing for a specific test.
Kinston's average student-teacher ratio of 15:1 means classroom teachers are managing multiple students with different learning needs. Personalized tutoring provides undivided attention, allowing tutors to adapt their teaching method to your student's pace, learning style, and specific challenges—something that's difficult in a traditional classroom setting.
Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's needs. We offer flexible options to fit different budgets, and you can discuss pricing directly when you connect with a tutor. Many families find that personalized instruction helps students make faster progress, making it a worthwhile investment in their academic success.
Yes—tutors work with families to find session times that work for their schedules, whether that's after school, weekends, or other times that fit your routine. Most students benefit from consistent, regular sessions (weekly or twice weekly), but frequency and timing can be customized to your family's needs.
Simply tell us about your student's academic goals and needs, and we'll match them with an experienced tutor in the Kinston area who's a great fit. You can schedule a first session at your convenience, and if it's not the right match, we'll help connect you with someone else until you find the perfect tutor for your student.
