BA Vanderbilt University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a freshman at Vanderbilt University currently pursuing a B.S. in Biochemistry. My inquisitive nature has fostered a love for mathematics, the natural sciences, and how they interact to produce the world we experience every day. This extends to my teaching strategy, where I emphasize the importance of conceptual understanding rather than pure memorization of equations and steps. My recent experience in a wide variety of Advanced Placement courses lends me insight to recent changes in course objectives and exam formatting.

Helping students build confidence is what motivates me. I've worked as a biology teaching assistant, research mentor, SAT, chemistry, and math tutor, and Science Olympiad coach, guiding students of all levels through challenging material. I recently completed my studies in biology, genetics, space biology, and astrobiology at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, and I'm continuing my research in these fields at UNC Chapel Hill. I tutor biology, chemistry, math, and test prep for the SAT and ACT, but biology is my favorite because of how directly it connects to real-world questions and the thrill of discovery. My tutoring style is highly adaptable to each student's needs. I often use active learning strategies like the Feynman Technique, encouraging students to explain concepts back in their own words to build mastery and confidence. I aim to create a supportive, low-pressure environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and tackling challenges head-on. Outside of academics, I enjoy music, writing, and exploring new topics in science and communication.

10+ Years Tutoring

I am able to give directions, provide helpful feedback regarding homework and other areas of study, and be a source of information for related topics and have expanded my areas of tutoring to liberal arts topics like English and History. I hope to be a role model to those I tutor through my passion for my learning, my kindness, and my patience and be a mentor that students can look to for guidance in times of stress and uncertainty. Furthermore, I want to be an example of how it is possible to not only survive but thrive in school, even if things don't go exactly as planned and guide students through the challenges of, among other things, the right balance between classwork, extracurricular activities, and socialization.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

MS Simmons College • BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Christopher
BA Harvard College
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.

Charles
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Matthews's 17 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district or the Cabarrus County Schools district, we match them with tutors who understand North Carolina's curriculum standards and can help them succeed in their specific courses and grade level.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is one of the most effective ways to help students master North Carolina's academic standards. Tutors work with your student on their specific learning gaps, whether that's math fundamentals, reading comprehension, or science concepts—tailoring lessons to match the pace and depth required by NC standards and your student's school curriculum.

The first session is a chance for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify learning goals. The tutor will assess your student's current understanding, discuss any challenges they're facing in their classes, and create a personalized plan focused on building confidence and improving performance in their specific subject or skill area.

While Matthews schools maintain a reasonable student-teacher ratio compared to many districts, classroom teachers still manage multiple students with different learning needs and paces. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills that gap by giving your student focused attention tailored to their exact learning style, allowing them to ask questions freely and progress at their own speed without holding back or falling behind the class.
