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'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 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 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 am excited to be home and help fellow straphangers on their educational paths! My largest wealth of tutoring experience is in foreign languages--particularly French--but I also feel very comfortable editing essays of any kind and working through standardized test concepts. My availability is extremely flexible, and anywhere in New York City works for me. I look forward to working with you.
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my undergraduate degree in political science. Right after graduation, I worked as an academic and test prep tutor as well as admissions consultant in Hong Kong. For the past two years, I worked with a number of students to help prepare them for college in the United States.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often find it challenging to distinguish between the causes of the Civil War and the factors that led to the Glorious Revolution—these are frequently conflated. Another common struggle is understanding the ideological shifts: grasping why Parliament's power increased while also tracking how religious conflict (Anglican vs. Puritan vs. Catholic tensions) shaped political outcomes. Many students also wrestle with analyzing primary sources from the period—interpreting manifestos, parliamentary documents, and personal accounts requires understanding both the explicit arguments and the underlying assumptions about monarchy, rights, and religious authority. A tutor can help you build a coherent narrative that connects these threads rather than treating them as isolated facts.
This is critical for strong historical analysis. For example, economic hardship and religious conflict both existed before 1640, but did they *cause* the Civil War, or were they conditions that made conflict more likely? A tutor helps you ask: What evidence shows direct causation (not just timing)? Did contemporaries explicitly connect these factors? What alternative explanations existed? When analyzing sources, you'll learn to identify when historians are making causal claims versus describing correlations—and to evaluate whether the evidence actually supports those claims. This skill directly strengthens argumentative essays where you need to defend *why* something happened, not just show that multiple factors were present.
Effective analysis requires understanding the source's context, audience, and purpose—not just its content. For instance, a Royalist pamphlet and a Parliamentary petition from the same year will present contradictory claims about the same events. A tutor guides you to ask: Who wrote this and why? What was their stake in the outcome? What assumptions about government, religion, or rights underlie their argument? You'll learn to identify rhetorical strategies (fear appeals, religious justification, claims about tradition) and recognize how language itself reveals ideological positions. This analytical framework transforms primary sources from confusing historical documents into evidence you can use to construct your own arguments about causation and change.
Students often see the English Revolution as one event, but historians debate whether it's one continuous process (1640–1660) or multiple distinct phases: the Civil War, the Interregnum, and the Restoration. A tutor helps you understand why periodization matters—different historians emphasize different endpoints and turning points depending on whether they're focused on political, religious, or social change. Learning to recognize these debates trains you to see that history isn't a fixed narrative but an interpretation based on evidence and emphasis. You'll develop the critical thinking skill of asking: *Why* does this historian divide the period this way? What does that choice reveal about what they think was most important?
Strong arguments require more than listing factors—you need to show *how* your evidence supports your specific claim. For example, if you argue that religious conflict was the primary cause of the Civil War, you can't just cite religious tensions; you need evidence that religious issues *directly motivated* key actors' decisions, and you need to address why other factors (economic, political) were secondary. A tutor teaches you to build this structure: state your claim clearly, present evidence (primary and secondary sources), explain how that evidence supports your claim, and acknowledge counterarguments. You'll practice distinguishing between strong evidence (specific actions, documented motivations, contemporary statements) and weak evidence (general conditions that many societies experienced). This approach works for essays, document-based questions, and AP-level analysis.
The Revolution involved clashing visions of monarchy, Parliament, religious authority, and individual rights—and these weren't modern concepts. A tutor helps you understand how 17th-century thinkers like Hobbes, Locke, and contemporary pamphleteers were *inventing* political language to justify their positions. Rather than memorizing "divine right" or "natural rights" as static definitions, you'll learn how these ideas emerged from specific conflicts and were weaponized in arguments. For instance, Parliamentarians invoked ancient English liberties (a historical claim) while Royalists defended monarchy as divinely ordained (a theological claim)—understanding *why* each side chose these frameworks reveals the underlying stakes. This analytical approach helps you see how ideology functions as both cause and consequence, deepening your understanding of how the Revolution reshaped English political thought.
Many students focus heavily on the Civil War and Cromwell's Commonwealth, then treat the Restoration as a simple "return to normal." In reality, the Restoration period (1660–1688) involved ongoing religious conflict, economic challenges, and constitutional questions that ultimately led to the Glorious Revolution. A tutor helps you see that the Restoration wasn't a reset—it was a continuation of unresolved tensions about religious settlement, parliamentary power, and the limits of royal authority. Understanding the Restoration as part of a longer process of institutional change (rather than a separate event) strengthens your ability to analyze how revolutionary change actually unfolds: through conflict, compromise, and often incomplete resolution. This perspective is especially valuable for essays asking about long-term consequences or the Revolution's legacy.
Every source—whether a contemporary pamphlet or a modern historian's book—reflects the author's perspective and stakes. A tutor teaches you to ask systematically: What does this author gain from their interpretation? What evidence do they emphasize or omit? What assumptions about society, religion, or government underlie their claims? For example, 19th-century historians often portrayed the Revolution as inevitable progress toward democracy, while modern historians question that narrative and examine social upheaval, religious trauma, and the Revolution's limits. Learning to recognize these interpretive patterns helps you avoid simply absorbing one version of events. You'll develop the critical thinking skill of reading *against* sources—understanding what they reveal about their authors' biases—which strengthens your ability to construct nuanced, evidence-based arguments rather than repeating received interpretations.
