I am a current sophomore at Cornell University pursuing a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering. I have done extensive coursework in biology, physics, chemistry, math, and lab sciences. I love applying engineering problem-solving skills to the biological sciences. For the past year, I have been a teaching assistant for introductory biology classes. In my free time, I participate in cancer immunotherapy research which focuses on melanoma.

I am a recent graduate from Vanderbilt University, graduating cum laude and with Highest Honors in Neuroscience. I currently work as a neuroimaging analyst at a research center and have been tutoring for the past 6 years in math, science, and ACT/SAT test prep.
I am a committed mentor and scholar passionate about enabling students to meet and exceed their learning goals. With Masters degrees from Northwestern and Yale, I have experience tutoring students from diverse backgrounds in Israel/Palestine and across the United States. My favorite subjects to tutor include any topic in Humanities, Social Studies, and Language Arts, especially History, Geography, Study Skills, and German. I also love to offer any kind of support/advising on the college application journey. I get satisfaction from seeing students connect deeply with themselves and their subjects while having fun in the process. In my free time I enjoy painting, reading, watching TV, and learning new languages.
I am a sophomore at Lehigh University studying Mechanical Engineering and Design through the university's Honors IDEAS program. In high school, I volunteered as a tutor for elementary and middle school students learning the viola through the organization Music for Everyone. I also tutored high school students in American History through the National Honors Society. I loved these tutoring roles, and it was such a joy to get to know different students and help them with their studies. Through my experiences tutoring others, as well as attending a few tutoring sessions in college, I have seen what a difference this kind of personal learning experience can have. As a tutor, I feel the most important thing is to be encouraging and empathetic, working to understand each individual student's learning style so I can help them most effectively. I am most interested in tutoring in English Literature, math, and SAT Prep. I have taken countless Literature courses throughout high school and college, and it is one of my very favorite subjects. I have also had significant experience with math courses, from algebra to multivariable calculus as an engineering student. I am also excited about helping students prepare for the SAT because I have taken it in the last two years, and I remember all too well what a daunting experience it can be. I would love to help make this stressful part of high school easier for students. In my free time, I enjoy playing the viola and the piano, reading, and drawing.
I am pursuing degrees in Bioengineering and Economics. I am currently taking some time off from my studies to learn the ins and outs of the biomedical industry by working a Co-op in pharmaceutical engineering. While I have held several tutoring positions, my favorite experience was when I designed an interactive obstacle course demonstrating the functions of the adaptive immune system as part of the Pitt Tissue Engineering Summer Camps Initiative. The obstacle course contained everything from NERF guns to secret handshakes and is emblematic of my tutoring philosophy: I always encourage my students to visualize the course material in creative ways that stretch beyond the classroom. While I tutor numerous subjects, my personal favorites are Economics and Physiology. In my free time you'll find me running, playing soccer, reading (everything from Harry Potter to Khalil Gibran), or shooting hoops on the basketball court. One of my future goals is to ride my bike across the USA from my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio to the Pacific Ocean.
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'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 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'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 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 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

Pennsylvania has specific standards for each grade level and subject, and tutors work with students to master these benchmarks through personalized instruction tailored to individual learning gaps. Whether your student needs support with PA Core Standards in math and literacy, or preparation for Keystone Exams, personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps identify exactly where they're struggling and build confidence in those areas.
The first session is about building rapport and understanding your student's specific needs, goals, and learning style. The tutor will assess current skill levels, discuss any academic challenges, and create a personalized plan for how tutoring can help your student succeed in their Lancaster school.
Lancaster students commonly seek support in math (especially algebra and geometry), English/language arts, science, and test preparation for standardized assessments like the SAT and ACT. Many families also connect with tutors for subject-specific help like chemistry, physics, and AP courses, as well as study skills and homework support across grade levels.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have strong subject expertise and teaching experience. Each tutor is vetted for their knowledge and ability to work effectively with students, and they're matched to your student based on specific academic needs and learning preferences to ensure the best fit.
While Lancaster's average student-teacher ratio is 12.8:1, personalized 1-on-1 instruction provides focused attention that classroom settings simply can't match. Research shows that one-on-one tutoring significantly accelerates learning because the tutor can target exactly what your student needs, adjust pacing in real time, and provide immediate feedback—something that's difficult in larger classroom environments.
Varsity Tutors offers flexible scheduling to fit your family's needs, whether that's after school, weekends, or during the week. We work with families to find solutions that match their budget and schedule, and can discuss pricing options based on frequency and duration of tutoring sessions.
Many students show noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, the student's starting point, and how frequently they receive instruction. The key is regular, focused sessions where the tutor can build on progress and reinforce concepts—personalized instruction accelerates learning much faster than sporadic help.
