Jennifer

College English Tutor • +19 Subjects

I am a graduate of The University of Kentucky and received my Bachelor of Arts in Special Education (K-12.) I have taught for 17 1/2 years, teaching the last 16 years in Gilbert. I have experience teaching all subjects and grade levels in elementary schools in special education classrooms and general education inclusion settings. I enjoy tutoring students in all subjects and find that I am most passionate about Reading and Math. I advocate for students and believe that all children can learn but differ in the ways they learn and the timeframe in which they learn. Each student brings unique qualities, talents and interests to learning and it is my job to use those to enhance and influence their learning. My interests include reading, watching movies and going to garage and estate sales.

Lexi

Admissions Tutor • +24 Subjects

I hold a BA with honors in English, and I am currently pursuing my MA in English. I've worked as a writing consultant at my university's writing center, so I'm experienced in helping with essays in any subject, even subjects that I might not know much about-- I focus on quality and clarity of writing, and would rather work with you to help you grow than just do the work for you. I've also worked with the 826 program, working to tutor high school students in many subjects, and have had the chance to run several college essay workshops.Outside of the "professional academic" world, I like to use my minor in writing creatively. I've been a writer for about ten years, and have won several awards (and recently had a poem of mine published!). Just like almost every writing tutor, I'm working on a novel (I work a lot in the fantasy and young/new adult genres).I'm primarily a writing tutor, and I believe in writing as a means of deepening your own understanding. My personal expertise lies mostly in the arts and social sciences, but I love working in subjects I'm not as familiar with! If I'm not as familiar with the subject matter, it helps the person I'm working with break things down to a base level so they can show they understand the topic well enough to explain it to someone on the "outside," and I maintain this approach even when working with students in my field.Whether you're looking for help on an academic paper, a college essay, or a creative endeavor, I can't wait to work with you!

I believe that students should be offered the most innovative methods of teaching in order to prepare them for the real world. My personal philosophy is to make the subject applicable to the students and realistic beyond theory. In addition to textbook information, my classes include current events and case studies to make the content of the course relevant to the students interest.

Eppchez

Conversational Spanish Tutor • +21 Subjects

I always did well in school but rarely played by the book. This seems to be a theme in my life, refusing to accept the world just as it is presented to me. I am a kind of person who tends to make life harder on themselves because I cannot seem to bend my will to fit the mainstream. In academic settings my visual learning disability necessitated that I find success in creative outlets and work more closely with my teachers (I was always doing alternative projects that could demonstrate my knowledge of the material). Another example might be my gender, which I have found over the past several years to be neither male nor female (talk about uninterrogated mainstreams). I have found tremendous joy, peace of mind, and perhaps even success in accepting these way of being and adapting to embrace them.I went to a performing arts High school where I studied theater, Music and all the regular requirements. I have been fluent in Spanish since age 10 thanks to my Cuban father's efforts in assimilating my brother and I. Toward the end of high school I was mostly taking classes at Amherst College and volunteering as a teaching assistant for the pre-GED class at an adult basic education center. I spent one spring at a Quaker semester program in California. I was raised Quaker and as such many of the most important experiences in my life have been facilitated through Quaker programs. I was very lucky after High School (as we know college admittance is a crap shoot)to be accepted early decision to Wesleyan University, where I continued to pursue Theater as a playwright. In college I was a tutor for creative non-fiction classes. I also gained a lot of experience workshopping various written forms in group and one on one settings. As a writer I have learned that good writing is mostly about editing and revising. I have come to love helping others through the sometimes heart breaking process of uncovering what they were really meaning to say. It is so important to have another set of eyes seeing what you may be too close to your writing to see.learning well is about knowing oneself. You have to trust your gut in order to learn about what you need to engaged with a subject. Learning is not easy. It is not a science. Sometime there will be things that just won't stick in your head. But you can have support and someone to keep you on track and keep you motivated.

Rebekah

10th Grade Reading Tutor • +45 Subjects

I studied International Development at Cornell College and graduated Summa Cum Laude with my Bachelor of Arts in International Development. While in college, I worked as a Peer Tutor at Cornell College Writing Studio for three years. I worked with college students in all disciplines and at all different levels, from struggling freshman to thesis writing seniors. After graduation, I taught English as a Second Language to 450 6th-8th graders at a public school in India for a year. While in India I also worked at a local non-profit, teaching basic literacy skills to disadvantaged young girls.I love teaching reading and writing, which luckily is involved in almost every subject! I am passionate about helping students who have a poor relationship with learning and only find it boring. Education should be about discovery and empowerment; it should never feel discouraging. As a tutor, I give tutees as much power and choice as possible in order to help them become independent learners. My teaching style revolves around their learning style and needs.In my free time, I love to read and spend time with my family and cats. I enjoy reading, baking, and taking walks with my husband.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students throughout Lancaster County with personalized tutoring support. With 6 school districts and 58 schools serving over 21,000 students in the area, we work with learners from Conestoga Valley, Ephrata, Hempfield, Lampeter-Strasburg, Manheim Central, and Penn Manor, helping them succeed regardless of which district they attend.

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.
