Lauren

Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects

My passion is teaching in any format, whether it be in a classroom or tutoring setting. I have a degree in Secondary Education and History and have taught 8th grade U.S. History as well as 12th grade Economics and Government for the past 3 years. I also have a strong background in Mathematics and have tutored several students as high as Algebra II. The reason I love tutoring is that I can individualize the learning for each person I tutor based on their needs and strengths. I do this by finding out how the people I am tutoring learn best and use that information to tailor the tutoring sessions to their strengths. At the same time, I will help them overcome their weaknesses in order to make it easier for them to adapt in a classroom setting. I hope to be able to have the chance to help you be more successful in all aspects of the classroom.

Jazmyn

Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects

Ever since middle school, math has always given me joy. The endless challenges and patterns one has to manipulate in this subject allows me to think outside the box while finding multiple ways of reaching my goal of solving the problem. I plan to pursue a career that allows me to continue to use and enhance my math skills as well as assist others in doing the same. Aside from math my other area of interest is art. I have always had a passion for art and I wish to not only display my work for others to admire but to appreciate the work that other artists provide.

ACT English Tutor • +52 Subjects

As someone passionate about my own education, I view tutoring as a wonderful opportunity to share this love with others! I've worked at a YMCA overnight summer camp for three years (catering to children ages 8-16), and have ample experience teaching, learning, and working directly with peers of all ages. As a tutor, I am determined to give my students the best, most educational and engaging experience outside the classroom as possible. I tutor to inspire!I am a freshman in my first semester at New York University, studying to create my own major of Political Satire. Idealy, this will involve be a combination of Creative Writing and Political Science, with a minor in Screenwriting. I'm also a recent graduate of Phillips Academy, a boarding preparatory school in Andover, Massachusetts.I tutor a wide range of a subjects, including (but not limited to): writing (all grades), reading comprehension (all grades), Algebra 1, and test prep.Outside of academia, I am passionate about a wide range of activities! I love to write, namely poetry and creative fiction. I sing with an a cappella group, perform stand-up, and write for a sketch comedy troupe. I'm also a lifeguard, and teach classes on First Aid/CPR/AED at a local community center.

Zachary

Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am a graduate of Kean University in 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. I have 2.5 years of tutoring experience at the college level tutoring mostly Math (Algebra, Pre-Calc, Geometry) and Economics. Since graduation, I've worked at various software companies, but my love of teaching caused me to pursue my teaching license and to tutor again. I like to keep my students engaged and I like to have fun doing it. I know math isn't everyone's cup of tea (Including me up until college), so I am passionate about having a fun and stress free learning environment. I welcome new challenges and encourage others to do the same, especially in the classroom. In my spare time, I enjoy reading books, playing video games, and watching sports, mostly football and basketball (Go Giants and Suns!).

Slone

10th Grade Math Tutor • +59 Subjects

I am currently a senior engineering major at Texas A&M. One thing that I have learned about myself since I started school is that I love to teach. I have gained tutoring experience in college by helping my class mates on a variety of classes from algebra to calculus and physics. I specialize in math and physics from elementary level through AP level math and science including calculus 1 for college students.One key thing I have found is that to be successful in class is preparation. This may be the most important factor to success. Tutoring benefits people of all grade levels by offering a chance to learn in a focused environment as opposed to a large class room. When it comes to learning, every person is different! I am always happy to answer any questions and go at whatever pace is necessary to ensure that people learn as much as possible.

Krishna

Admissions Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a student at the Honors College of Rutgers - New Brunswick. I am currently working towards attaining a B.S. in Biochemistry, as well as a minor in Business and Administration. Over the last five years, I have reconciled my passion for teaching and my desire to interact with fellow students through tutoring. While I have tutored in a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about science, math, and English. Having taught many students, each of whom were different in terms of personality and learning style, I understand the importance of tailoring the lesson to the student's strengths. As a result, I work to create unique, individualized learning plans that engage the student and make learning feel like an opportunity, rather than a chore.

Varsity Tutors connects students across Bessemer's 20 schools and three school districts. With a student-teacher ratio of 19.9:1 in the area, many families find that personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps fill gaps that classroom settings alone can't address, especially in core subjects like math and English.

Alabama's academic standards require proficiency in reading, mathematics, science, and social studies across grade levels. Tutors work with students to master these standards through personalized instruction tailored to each student's pace and learning style, helping them build confidence in areas where they're struggling and accelerate in subjects where they're ready to advance.

Students in Bessemer most frequently seek help with algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus—especially as they progress through middle and high school. Reading comprehension, writing skills, and test preparation for standardized assessments like the ACT are also areas where personalized instruction makes a significant difference.

The first session is an opportunity for a tutor to understand the student's current level, learning goals, and any specific challenges they're facing in their coursework. Tutors will assess what's working well and where to focus effort, then create a personalized plan that fits the student's schedule and academic needs.

Varsity Tutors offers flexible pricing options based on the tutor's expertise, subject area, and frequency of sessions.
