Hidefusa
MS Harvard University • BA New York University
8+ Years Tutoring

I am eager to help learners of any age and educational background thrive through providing careful listening, guidance, and feedback. I enjoy teaching a variety of subjects ranging from statistics to psychology to the Japanese language. I was born in New York, NY, and grew up in northern New Jersey attending the local public school system and the Japanese Weekend School of New Jersey. After completing two high school diplomas, I pursued a Bachelor's of Arts degree in Psychology at New York University and worked in New York, NY for six years in private industry. I returned to higher education, moving to Boston where I conducted research, taught, and studied Clinical Psychology. After completing a Master of Liberal Arts in Clinical Psychology at Harvard University, I moved to Salt Lake City, UT to pursue a PhD in Psychology (Clinical Neuropsychology). I am proficient in SPSS, Stata, APA formatting, and research methods for the behavioral sciences. I have limited exposure and experience with R and MATLAB.

PhD Roosevelt University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology, but I have been tutoring ever since I was in elementary school. Because not everyone learns the same way, I feel that it is easy for students to miss certain tidbits or whole subjects in the classroom, and it can quickly feel like it is too late to catch up. My goal is to work together to pick up the pieces that were lost or are close, but not quite there: learning the way you want to learn and the way you learn best rather than having topics taught at you.

Garrett
BA University
10+ Years Tutoring

I'm Garrett and I live in Salt Lake City and I want to help you understand topics in natural science and mathematics. I have a bachelor's degree in geological science (geophysics) from University of Colorado Boulder with a minor in mathematics. Part of my success in college came from the preparation I had from taking AP Calculus and Physics courses in high school. I'm a huge fan of visual aids and examining real-life examples and applications when teaching. I worked as a learning assistant in an astronomy lab course and as a tutor for student athletes in geology while attending CU. I've been honing the ability to craft perfect analogies to help you make sense of mathematical or physical concepts.

Christian
BA Brigham Young University
2+ Years Tutoring

As a passionate Microbiology Major at Brigham Young University, I am excited to leverage my strong foundation in the sciences to tutor students preparing for the MCAT. With over two years of teaching experience, including volunteer English classes in Brazil, I have developed effective communication skills and a student-centered approach. My core subjects include chemistry, biology, and physics, where I excelled on the MCAT, particularly in the sciences. I employ a structured "I do, we do, you do" methodology to build student confidence, allowing them to grasp complex concepts through observation and practice. My extensive research background in microbiology and applied behavioral health experience enables me to provide real-world examples that make challenging topics more relatable. I am dedicated to fostering an encouraging learning environment where students can overcome misconceptions and focus on key ideas essential for their success.

I am also figuring out the reason the student doesn't understand the material in the first place. I also have always enjoyed the perspective I get from teaching. It gives me a better overall understanding of the subject, so I am even more prepared for future lessons and future jobs.

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Charles
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Salt Lake City's 126 schools and all 16 school districts with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in the Salt Lake City School District, Jordan School District, or any other district in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic needs.

Tutors working with Salt Lake City students are familiar with Utah Core Standards and can tailor instruction to align with what students are learning in their classrooms. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify gaps in understanding, reinforce standards-based concepts, and help students build mastery at their own pace—which is especially valuable given Salt Lake City's average student-teacher ratio of 19.3:1.

Salt Lake City students commonly seek tutoring in math, science, English, and standardized test prep (including ACT preparation). Many students also benefit from tutoring in foreign languages, particularly Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across all these subjects, helping them strengthen foundational skills or prepare for advanced coursework and college entrance exams.

During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current understanding, learning style, and specific academic goals. They'll ask about challenges your student is facing in their Salt Lake City school, review relevant coursework, and develop a personalized tutoring plan. This foundation ensures that all future sessions are targeted and effective for your student's unique needs.

Absolutely. Tutoring works best as a complement to classroom instruction, not a replacement. Tutors can reinforce concepts taught by classroom teachers, help with homework, prepare for upcoming tests, or dive deeper into topics your student finds challenging. This collaborative approach means tutoring directly supports your student's success within their Salt Lake City school environment.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's specific needs. Varsity Tutors works with families to find tutoring solutions that fit different budgets. We recommend starting with a consultation to discuss your student's goals and get a personalized rate estimate based on what would work best for your situation.

We take time to understand your student's academic goals, learning style, and specific challenges before making a match. We consider factors like subject expertise, teaching approach, and availability to connect your student with a tutor who's the right fit. If the match isn't working after the first session, we can connect you with a different tutor at no additional cost.

Tutors working with Salt Lake City students offer flexible scheduling to fit your family's needs—whether that's after school, weekends, or during school breaks. Sessions can be adjusted as your student's schedule changes throughout the school year, and tutoring can be ramped up during particularly challenging units or before major exams.
