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!

MS Simmons College • BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

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!

Christopher
BA Harvard College
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your first session is all about understanding your current level and goals. A tutor will ask about your programming experience, what you're working on in class, and whether you're interested in web development, game design, data science, or another area. They'll also identify specific challenges—whether that's debugging errors, understanding algorithms, or grasping how data structures work—so they can tailor future sessions to what you actually need.

Debugging is one of the most valuable skills a tutor can help you develop. Rather than just fixing errors for you, tutors teach you how to read error messages, use debugging tools, and think through your code logically to find problems yourself. This approach builds your problem-solving skills so you can tackle unfamiliar bugs independently—a skill that matters far beyond any single assignment.

Syntax is the specific rules of a programming language—like how to write a loop or declare a variable. Logic is the thinking behind it—how to break down a problem and design a solution. Many students struggle because they focus too much on syntax and not enough on algorithmic thinking. Tutors help you build strong logical foundations first, which makes learning any new language much easier.

Data structures like arrays, linked lists, and hash tables are fundamental to writing efficient code and solving complex problems. They're also notoriously tricky to visualize and understand. Tutors can walk through real examples, help you trace through code step-by-step, and show you how to choose the right structure for different problems—making an abstract concept concrete and practical.

Building real projects—whether a web app, game, or data analysis tool—is one of the best ways to learn. Tutors can guide you through the design process, help you break projects into manageable pieces, review your code, and suggest improvements. This hands-on approach helps you apply what you're learning in class to something tangible and builds a portfolio you can actually be proud of.

Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand Virginia's computer science standards and the specific courses taught in Virginia Beach schools. Whether you're in an introductory programming class, AP Computer Science Principles, AP Computer Science A, or a specialized track like web development or cybersecurity, tutors can align their instruction with what your school is teaching.

Absolutely. If you're not sure whether you're more interested in web development, game design, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, or data science, tutors can help you explore different areas through small projects and guided learning. This exploration helps you figure out what genuinely interests you before committing to a specific path in high school or college.

Start by being honest about what's confusing you—is it the syntax, the logic, specific concepts like loops or functions, or the overall problem-solving process? A tutor will start from wherever you are, rebuild foundational concepts if needed, and use a pace that works for you. Many students who felt lost find that personalized instruction makes computer science click in ways a large classroom can't.
