Who needs tutoring?
No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.

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.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
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.
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!
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!
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.
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.
I'm eager to help you in your education. I'm a recent graduate of Harvard College looking to apply to law school. My senior thesis was written on John Dewey's ideas of education, which I deeply believe has incredible power to transform individuals and society.
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Currently, I am in the master's program at the University of New Mexico where I am continuing my education in philosophy. Ultimately, I hope to go on to earn a PhD in Philosophy so that I can continue engaging in my passions for learning and teaching. While in school, I have spent countless hours coaching high school speech and debate both in person and working online with students across the country. My focus in coaching has been to emphasize philosophy and critical thought to prepare students to think through novel arguments on their own. I am passionate about teaching and tutoring because I love seeing students learn to be intellectually independent and think through problems on their own terms by developing their critical thinking skills. I have devoted my life to education because I am passionate about it, and I try to share some of my passion for learning with the students I work with. I tutor all sorts of Standardized Tests, and I particularly enjoy working on logic-based problems like analogies and math sections. When I am not tutoring or reading for school, I enjoy strategy games (both board games and video games), listening to music, hiking, playing basketball, and just relaxing with friends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Elementary enrichment focuses on extending a student's learning beyond grade-level standards rather than catching up on foundational gaps. While remedial tutoring targets specific skill deficits, enrichment tutoring challenges advanced or curious learners with deeper problem-solving, critical thinking, and creative applications of concepts they've already mastered. A tutor working in enrichment might help a student explore mathematical patterns through coding, conduct independent science investigations, or develop advanced writing and research skills—moving them ahead rather than filling in behind.
Enrichment students often struggle with open-ended problems that require multiple solution strategies, abstract thinking beyond concrete examples, and sustained independent work without clear "right answers." They may also face boredom in traditional classrooms, difficulty finding intellectual peers, or anxiety about making mistakes when attempting harder material. Additionally, some gifted learners develop perfectionism or struggle with executive function skills like organizing complex projects—areas where personalized guidance makes a meaningful difference in building confidence and resilience.
Strong enrichment tutors combine deep subject-matter expertise with the ability to ask powerful questions that guide discovery rather than provide answers. They should understand child development and how to recognize and nurture intellectual curiosity, plus experience with gifted learners' social-emotional needs. Expertise in differentiation, project-based learning, and cross-curricular connections is valuable, as is familiarity with enrichment frameworks like Bloom's taxonomy or Renzulli's Enrichment Triad Model. The best tutors also stay current with resources like STEM challenges, advanced literature, and real-world applications that spark genuine engagement.
Progress in enrichment looks different than traditional grades—focus on growth in critical thinking, creativity, and independence rather than test scores alone. Measurable outcomes include increased complexity in problem-solving approaches, ability to tackle multi-step projects with minimal guidance, stronger written and verbal explanations of thinking, and deeper engagement with challenging material. You might also notice improved confidence in trying new things, better ability to give and receive feedback, and increased initiative in asking questions and pursuing interests independently.
Absolutely—in fact, integrated enrichment often produces the most meaningful learning. A tutor might help a student design an engineering project that requires research writing, mathematical calculations, and scientific reasoning, or explore how literature connects to history and social studies. These cross-curricular connections develop stronger critical thinking and help students see how knowledge applies in real-world contexts. Personalized instruction allows a tutor to follow a student's interests and weave multiple subjects together in ways that feel natural rather than compartmentalized.
Tutors working with advanced students focus on acceleration—moving into higher-grade content at an appropriate pace—while also emphasizing depth and complexity. Rather than just "more of the same," they introduce sophisticated concepts like systems thinking, abstract mathematical reasoning, or literary analysis that challenge the student's thinking. Personalized instruction also allows tutors to address the unique needs of advanced learners, including helping them develop patience with peers, managing perfectionism, and building metacognitive skills so they understand their own learning process.
One of enrichment tutoring's greatest strengths is the ability to follow a student's passions—whether that's ancient civilizations, marine biology, creative writing, or game design—and build rigorous learning around those interests. A tutor can help a student research deeply, develop projects, connect their passion to broader academic skills, and explore related fields they might not encounter in the regular classroom. This interest-driven approach builds intrinsic motivation and helps students see learning as something they direct rather than something done to them.
Enrichment tutors gradually shift from providing answers to teaching students how to find answers, evaluate sources, and think through problems systematically. They model research strategies, help students break complex projects into manageable steps, and encourage reflection on learning processes. Over time, students develop stronger metacognitive skills—understanding how they learn best, recognizing when they need help, and building confidence in their ability to tackle unfamiliar challenges independently. These skills transfer across subjects and support lifelong learning.
