I am a graduate of Northwestern University with a BA from the School of Communications, GPA 3.6, with a specialty in Theater and Education. Since then, I have worked as an educator at the Rubin Museum of Art, tutored the SAT, regularly traveled to India where I study Tibetan Language and conduct independent research, and have written, produced, and performed in several music and theatrical productions throughout New York City. The foundation of my tutoring philosophy is personalization and understanding. Different students have different learning styles; some learn best by listening, some by seeing, others must do. To that end, I try to tailor my lessons to fit the needs of each individual student. Ultimately, I believe that the ability to excel in educational pursuits rests largely on mental strategy, organization, and skill, all techniques that are very teachable. While absorbing content is important, the way we look at the question being asked and the way we understand the test itself is just as crucial to success, especially in standardized testing. Therefore, no matter what subject I tutor, it is my goal not just to help the student memorize information and facts, but to lead them towards understanding the underlying goals and structure of the test or assignment itself. To this end, in my lessons I often incorporate cutting-edge mindfulness-awareness and associative memory techniques based both on ancient tradition and cutting-edge brain science to aid my students towards deeper understanding, increased scholastic confidence, and reduced stress. I specialize in SAT, SSAT, and SAT II prep for Math, Verbal, Writing, and Literature, as well as High School History, English, Literature, and Writing, any K-8 subject, and college admissions coaching. In my spare time, I compose music, write and direct theater, and perform around New York City.

Laura
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +43 Subjects
I am an energetic tutor with an abundance of tutoring experience in a broad range of subjects. As a biology major at Washington University in St. Louis, I am well-versed in chemistry, biology, physics and calculus. I have privately tutored elementary through high school students in these areas of study, as well as algebra, trigonometry and geometry. However, my academic interests are not limited to math and science. My true academic passion is for French language and literature, which is my second major at my university. I developed this passion at a young age, but mastered the language during my semester abroad in a language-immersion program in Toulouse, France.

Frequently Asked Questions
With over 801 schools across Brooklyn serving nearly 300,000 students, families benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to their specific school's curriculum and expectations. Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who understand the unique academic standards and pacing of Brooklyn's diverse school districts, ensuring support that aligns with what students are learning in their classrooms.
Brooklyn's average student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1 means teachers are managing significant class sizes, making it challenging to provide individualized attention to every student. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills this gap by offering focused support on exactly what each student needs—whether that's catching up on foundational skills, preparing for Regents exams, or tackling advanced coursework.
New York's Regents exams are a critical benchmark for Brooklyn students, and personalized tutoring helps students master the specific content and test-taking strategies required. Tutors work with students on the exact standards and question formats they'll encounter, whether preparing for Algebra, English Language Arts, Living Environment, or other Regents subjects, giving them the targeted practice and feedback needed to perform confidently.
The first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify specific academic goals. The tutor will assess the student's current understanding, learning style, and areas where they need the most support—whether that's homework help, test prep, or building confidence in a challenging subject.
Tutoring can be as focused or broad as a student needs. Some Brooklyn students benefit from concentrated support in one subject like math or English, while others work with tutors across multiple subjects depending on their schedule and academic priorities. You can adjust the focus at any time based on what's most helpful for your student.
Many students notice increased confidence and better understanding within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline varies depending on the student's starting point and academic goals. For standardized test prep or mastering a specific concept, students often see measurable progress within 4-8 weeks of regular sessions; long-term academic growth builds with sustained support over a semester or school year.
Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have demonstrated expertise in their subject areas, whether that's teaching experience, advanced degrees, or proven success helping students achieve their academic goals. Each tutor is carefully matched to your student based on their needs, learning style, and specific academic challenges.
Personalized instruction is scheduled around your student's availability—whether that's after school, weekends, or during breaks. This flexibility helps Brooklyn families balance tutoring with sports, extracurriculars, and other commitments while ensuring students get consistent, focused academic support when they need it most.
