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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Preschool focuses on foundational skills across multiple areas: social-emotional development (sharing, listening, following directions), early literacy (letter recognition, phonemic awareness, print concepts), math foundations (counting, sorting, shapes, patterns), fine motor skills (writing, cutting, drawing), and gross motor development (running, climbing, balance). Age-appropriate expectations vary by program, but most preschoolers develop basic self-care skills, expand vocabulary rapidly, and begin understanding how to learn collaboratively. A great preschool experience helps children feel confident, curious, and ready for kindergarten.

In a classroom, teachers work with 15-20+ children at varying levels, so pacing and activities are designed for the group. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, tutors adapt completely to your child's pace, interests, and learning style—whether your child needs more time with letters, extra practice with social skills, or enrichment in areas they're excelling. Tutors can redirect immediately, celebrate small wins, and adjust activities in real-time based on engagement. This focused attention helps children who struggle with transitions, benefit from repetition, or need confidence-building in specific areas.

The best preschool tutors combine patience, creativity, and genuine enthusiasm for working with young learners. They understand child development, use play-based learning (since preschoolers learn best through play), manage behavior with positive reinforcement, and communicate clearly with parents about progress. They're also flexible—able to pivot when a child loses interest, celebrate effort over perfection, and build strong relationships that make children feel safe and excited to learn. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who bring both expertise in early childhood development and a real passion for this age group.

Yes. Many preschoolers struggle with transitions between activities, sharing, managing emotions, or listening to directions—and personalized support can make a real difference. Tutors can work on these skills through structured play, modeling, positive reinforcement, and repetition in a low-pressure environment. They can also help your child practice specific situations (like saying goodbye to a parent, waiting for a turn, or expressing feelings with words) in ways that feel safe and manageable. Regular 1-on-1 time often builds confidence and emotional regulation skills that transfer to the classroom.

Most families notice shifts in confidence and engagement within 2-4 weeks of consistent personalized instruction. Measurable progress in specific skills—like letter recognition, counting, or following multi-step directions—often emerges within 4-8 weeks, depending on your child's starting point and tutoring frequency. Consistency matters: weekly sessions typically show steadier progress than sporadic ones. Keep in mind that preschoolers develop unevenly (a child might suddenly "get" letters after weeks of exposure), so patience and celebrating small wins are key. Your tutor will keep you updated on what they're observing and adjusting.

The best approach combines both. Play-based learning is how preschoolers naturally develop—through building, pretend play, exploring, and games—so great tutors embed academic skills (letters, counting, vocabulary) into play. A tutor might build letter recognition into a treasure hunt, teach counting through a cooking activity, or practice listening skills through a story-based game. This keeps learning joyful and developmentally appropriate while still building foundational skills. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand that for preschoolers, play is the work.

Consider tutoring if your child is showing signs like difficulty focusing, struggling to recognize letters or numbers despite exposure, avoiding certain activities (writing, group participation), falling behind peers in communication, or if you want extra support during a transition (new school, new sibling). Tutoring can also benefit children who are advanced and need enrichment, or those who just need a confidence boost. The best time to reach out is early—preschool is foundational, and personalized support now can set a positive trajectory for learning. Varsity Tutors can help assess whether tutoring is a good fit and match you with a tutor who understands your child's specific needs.
