Work With The Perfect Tutor For You
Accomplished Boston tutors meet our exacting qualification requirements, pass a multi-step interview process, and undergo background screening. One of Varsity Tutors’ expert directors helps to pair you with a qualified tutor to ensure the best possible match – it’s even backed up with a money-back guarantee.
Exceptional tutors individualize all lessons to address students' specific academic needs. Tutors provide personalized, one-on-one tutoring in the comfort of your home, online, or wherever is convenient for you.
How much will I pay to meet with a private tutor in Boston?
The cost associated with studying with a Boston tutor depends on a variety of factors, including how often you or your student want to study, what material you'd like to go over, where you live, and your instructor's qualifications. For instance, a student learning how to use a microscope for science at a local school such as Hopkins Elementary School may pay a different hourly rate than somebody researching the microbiology of photosynthesis at Harvard University.
Similarly, students who commit to a regular study schedule may pay a different rate per session than somebody who operates on an as-needed basis.
If you're interested in making private instruction more affordable, you might want to consider studying in a group. Most students associate tutoring with a one-on-one experience, but many tutors are open to group sessions so that students can save money without compromising on the quality of their instructor. Both tutoring methods offer advantages, and you really can't go wrong either way. Varsity Tutors also offers small classes you can take to supplement the academic support received from tutoring.
Most students can benefit from working with a private teacher in Boston, including high-achievers who already earn good grades. If you would like to learn more about how a tutor could help you and what it might cost, please contact us online or by phone to discuss your unique needs in further detail.
Is there assistance available to find a private tutor in Boston?
Many parents assume that their best option is to find a tutor in Boston on their own, but this isn't necessarily the case. It can be tough to determine if a given instructor has the academic knowledge you're looking for.
Do you how to verify if a potential instructor knows how to communicate well with students? Instead, let the experts at Varsity Tutors find you a great tutor while you sit back and relax.
The tutor-matching process begins with you telling us exactly what you're looking for. If your student is struggling with algebra at Boston College High School or another local school, we'll search our extensive database of independent tutors to find an algebra expert whose availability matches your own. We'll also take your preferred learning style into account. If you are a hands-on learner who studies best by doing, we'll find you a tutor who can provide practice problems beyond those available in your textbook.
Our Live Learning Platform is a virtual study space that facilitates face-to-face instruction anyplace with a reliable internet connection, so you can meet your tutor in Boston anywhere you like. Great features like video chat and a shared document editor ensure that students receive the same caliber of instruction they could get in person. Your sessions will also be recorded automatically, so a quick refresher is only a few clicks away. What could be more convenient?
What kinds of tutoring can help my child in Boston?
Our network of private tutors includes specialists in more than 3,000 different content areas, so we can find you a qualified tutor in Boston for any subject imaginable. If your child needs help with long division, we can refer you to a patient instructor who can answer any questions they ask.
If you're having a tough time working with logarithms, we'll find you somebody who can keep trying fresh teaching techniques until the concept clicks for you.
A private Boston tutor can also help you prepare for important exams like the SAT, GMAT, GRE, and PSAT. For instance, your instructor can administer practice exams under realistic test-taking conditions so you know exactly what to expect on test day. We can also help you work toward hundreds of professional certifications that can help your resume stand out in a stack.
If you're homeschooling the student in your life, a private tutor can provide invaluable aid. Creating a lesson plan sounds easy until you try to do it, and a professional tutor can help you come up with a good one. If you don't understand everything your student is studying yourself, a tutor can step in and teach those difficult concepts for you. Varsity Tutors even offers a Learning Lab filled with valuable resources, including informational videos designed to help students further their understanding of challenging concepts and grade-appropriate assessments to objectively measure your student's performance. Education is very important, so there's nothing wrong with admitting that you might need a little assistance with it while juggling your other responsibilities.
How are the qualifications of tutors in Boston assessed?
There is no city-wide assessment system for private tutors, so you won't know what you're getting if you find a tutor in Boston on your own. Thankfully, Varsity Tutors uses a thorough screening process that only the most-qualified instructors make it through so you can trust that you or your student are working with the best.
Here are some of the qualities we look for in an instructor:
- Excellent command of the material
