Jessica

College Algebra Tutor • +51 Subjects

I am a licensed physician from Florida who is currently changing careers. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009 and have extensive tutoring and editing experience. While a student, I became a certified writing tutor through the Critical Writing Department. Since I completed my writing requirement at the University prior to matriculating, I was the first freshman tutor to be accepted into this selective program. The tutoring program involved a preliminary peer-tutor training course prior to beginning tutoring, in order to certify that I had the appropriate background to provide professional feedback to fellow students on their literary works and projects. After graduation, I worked for a full-service learning center where I created and implemented high school lesson plans for home-schooled students, provided academic support for students ranging in ages from 8 to 20 years old, and taught group and individual standardized testing preparation classes. I have also assisted students with application essays for various undergraduate and graduate programs.

Jeffrey

Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

Rhea

AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects

I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Matthew

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Charles

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects

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! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from all across Charleston's 56 schools with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in downtown Charleston, the surrounding neighborhoods, or anywhere in the area, we match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum and South Carolina academic standards.

Tutors working with Charleston students are familiar with South Carolina's academic standards and how they're implemented across the district. They tailor personalized instruction to help students master grade-level expectations in core subjects like math, reading, science, and social studies, while also preparing them for state assessments.

Charleston students frequently seek tutoring in math and reading, which are foundational across all grade levels. We also work with many students on science, writing, and test preparation for standardized assessments. The specific focus depends on your student's grade level and academic goals.

The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's learning style, current academic level, and specific challenges. The tutor will ask questions, assess where your student stands, and develop a personalized plan to address their needs—whether that's catching up on foundational skills or preparing for advanced work.

Charleston's average student-teacher ratio is 13.9:1, which means classroom teachers work with many students at different levels. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring allows for customized instruction tailored entirely to your student's pace and learning style, addressing specific gaps and accelerating progress in ways that aren't always possible in a group setting.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families to find options that fit their budget. Contact us for a personalized quote and to discuss what investment makes sense for your student's specific needs.

We consider your student's subject, grade level, learning style, and specific goals to connect you with a tutor who's a great fit. If the match isn't quite right, we can adjust and find someone better suited. The goal is a tutor relationship that supports your student's success.

Progress depends on your student's starting point, the subject, and how frequently they meet with their tutor. Some students see improvements in understanding within a few sessions, while grade improvements typically follow as concepts become clearer. Consistent, personalized instruction combined with practice is what drives lasting results.
