Ben
BA University of Pennsylvania
10+ Years Tutoring

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Pennsylvania. I have been tutoring for over 6 years now, and I have found it to be an extremely rewarding and enjoyable experience. I specialize in mathematics, particularly at the high school level, and I also have experience tutoring other subjects. I also have done SAT prep for the mathematics section of the New SAT and am very familiar with the recent changes to the exam. My belief is that everyone is capable of learning with enough time, explanation, and practice, and I hope to pass this on to all the students I work with. For this reason, I believe in teaching students how to think and problem solve, rather than just having them memorize patterns or facts.

I'm a pre-health student at the University of Pennsylvania, and have an extensive background in the sciences. I can also rock the SATs and MCAT, so I've got that going for me. I love learning with students and trying to make the tedious work of learning as fun as possible. I think and teach in examples and make abstract concepts easily understandable. I also love sports, adventures, travelling!

I spent my gap year doing wet lab research in a biochemistry lab at the main NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, My parents are both university math professors with a natural gift for teaching that I believe they passed on to me. I hope to apply for residency in Internal Medicine or Psychiatry and down the line in my career to teach medical students while practicing in and academic or private-practice setting. I specialize in MCAT testing but am hoping to tutor for the SAT as well, and possibly AP exams. In my free time I enjoy rock climbing, running, working out, playing video games, and dabbling in random hobbies (most recently crochet!).

Simon
BA University of Pennsylvania
9+ Years Tutoring

I am dedicated to helping both struggling and thriving students excel in the subject in question. While I will work closely with my tutees, I will never just tell them how to answer a problem. Making sure the student is able to solve the problem on his own and understand why this method of solution works is how the subjects can be mastered.

I am a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania pursuing a Masters in International Educational Development.

I am a believer in quality education, that's why I make sure to create an engaging learning environment for my students.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students across Johnstown's 21 schools and 6 school districts with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Greater Johnstown area or one of the surrounding districts, we match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum and Pennsylvania academic standards.

Students in Johnstown frequently seek support in math, English/language arts, and science—subjects that are critical for meeting Pennsylvania standards and preparing for state assessments. We also work with students on standardized test prep, including the SAT and ACT, as well as AP courses for high school students looking to strengthen their college applications.

Pennsylvania has specific learning standards for each grade level and subject area, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps students master these benchmarks at their own pace. Tutors work with students on the exact skills and concepts their schools are teaching, filling gaps and building confidence so they can succeed in the classroom and on state assessments.

The first session focuses on understanding your student's goals, current challenges, and learning style. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically, discuss what they're working on in their Johnstown school classes, and create a personalized plan to address specific areas where they need support.

While Johnstown schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of 17.6:1, classroom instruction still needs to serve the whole group. One-on-one tutoring provides individualized attention that's impossible in a classroom setting—tutors can focus entirely on your student's specific learning needs, pace, and questions without having to move on with 16+ other students.

Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions you choose. We work with families in Johnstown to find flexible options that fit different budgets—whether you need intensive weekly support or occasional help with specific topics. Contact us to discuss your student's needs and get a personalized quote.

Yes. Tutors connect with students across all six of Johnstown's school districts and are familiar with Pennsylvania standards and local curricula.

Absolutely. We work with Johnstown high school students on SAT and ACT prep, AP course support, essay writing, and building strong academic foundations for college applications.
