BA Duke University • Doctor of Medicine, Premedicine Yale University
4+ Years Tutoring

I am a 2021 graduate from Duke University where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, with Distinction. At Duke, I also minored in Global Health and Chemistry and was a recipient of the Benjamin N. Duke full-ride scholarship based on leadership, service, and academics. I will be attending Yale Medical School as a member of the entering class of 2022. Having recently navigated the medical school application process with many interviews and acceptances, I have begun helping others with their essay writing and application prep. I come from a large Caribbean family and I love learning about other cultures while sharing my own. I enjoy teaching and have worked with everyone from Kindergarteners to middle and high school students to college students and even older adults! My primary teaching experience and interests are all elementary and middle school subjects, biology (through college level), beginner Spanish, essay writing, and test prep/study skills. I have also been an art educator for K-10 and adults!

7+ Years Tutoring

I am a recent graduate from the University of Georgia with a major in Chemistry and a minor in Spanish. During my junior year, I spent the fall through summer semesters helping instruct general chemistry classes and organic chemistry labs. Overall, I personally enjoy teaching and tutoring others not only because it better helps people understand some of the more difficult concepts of the material but because it also allows me to fully cement my knowledge and help people further.

Rachael
BA Seattle University
4+ Years Tutoring

I am currently working towards my Nursing BSN degree at Seattle University. As an active student myself, I know how stressful learning can be, so I love helping others build the solid understanding and confidence they need to reduce stress and enjoy the process. I have always been a big advocate for making learning a fun experience, keeping information well-organized, developing sustainable study habits, and applying material to make significant connections to everyday life. Reducing test anxiety is another key to letting the students shine through on exam day. I tutor a range of subjects, but some of my favorites are study skills/organization, math, and writing. Furthermore, I am well versed in biology and anatomy as a nursing student.

Robert
MS Trinity College Dublin • MS Emory University

I have a BS in both Mathematics and Chemistry from Emory University and MSc in Quantum Science and Technology from Trinity College Dublin. My master's thesis focused on my research on quantifying causality in quantum systems. As a Tutor, I see it as my job to help you understand what you already know and connect that to what you want to know. I believe the best way to learn any concept is to approach it from several perspectives to develop a more comprehensive understanding and find the framing you find most intuitive. It is my goal to help you develop the skills and confidence to realize how to solve problems on your own and directly identify any misconceptions or gaps in knowledge. I would love to share my passion for science, mathematics, and learning with students that share my passion and enjoy challenging themselves.

Carlos
BA University
3+ Years Tutoring

I've helped several hundred students in a wide variety of subjects, from executive functioning to computer science to standardized testing. I also help students with general support in math and English. Most of my students are around 9-17, but I work well with students who are older and a little younger as well. I also work very well with students who have specific obstacles or requirements, such as neurodiversity support or schedules that change a lot. Most of my background is in computer science, from my college major to my experience hands-on over the past 10 years. Regardless of the subject, I believe every student's needs are unique and every student is able to achieve great things with the right preparation and support. My number one goal is to provide that whenever I can, both to the student and to their parents. I communicate with parents outside of sessions a lot to establish their expectations, better understand students, and recommend ways they can directly support their children in their journey as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Summerville's 31 schools with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in the Dorchester County School District or a private institution in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands their specific curriculum and academic needs.

With Summerville's average student-teacher ratio of 17.1:1, many students benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction to get the individualized attention they need. Tutoring fills that gap by providing focused, customized support that addresses your student's unique learning style and academic gaps—something that's difficult to achieve in larger classroom settings.

Tutors who work with Summerville students are familiar with South Carolina's state standards and curriculum expectations. They tailor instruction to align with what your student is learning in class, whether that's preparing for SC READY assessments, mastering grade-level math and reading standards, or preparing for high school coursework.

During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current level, discuss specific academic goals, and identify areas where they need the most support. This helps establish a personalized learning plan that targets your student's challenges while building on their strengths—whether that's catching up in a subject, preparing for a test, or getting ahead.

Summerville students seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, with particularly high demand for math, reading/language arts, and test preparation for standardized assessments. We also connect students with tutors in sciences, social studies, and specialized subjects like AP courses and foreign languages—whatever aligns with their academic goals.

Absolutely. Varsity Tutors works with families to find tutoring times that fit your student's schedule—whether that's after school, weekends, or during school breaks.
