Emma
BA Cornell University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a sophomore at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, majoring in Human Development with a minor in Education. I tutor a variety of subjects, I am the most passionate about English. I have previously tutored high school English, focusing on thesis development, grammatical skills, and creative writing. My experience creating weekly curriculums for students in preschool through 12th grade as an activity facilitator for Chautauqua Institution allowed me to refine many of my teaching skills. I was especially enthusiastic about my lessons on poetry and nature literature. Although my interest in teaching began in high school, my Education minor has given me more hands-on experience working with students. The minor has also introduced me to new teaching methods, as I have been able to dissect education theory and policy. In my free time, I read a lot of non-fiction, draw, and watch the West Wing.

I'm in the process of applying to Master's programs for marine biology. I've been a motivated and committed student for the past 15+ years and I'm excited to bring my knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion for learning and teaching to all of my tutoring sessions. Although I majored in Biology at Duke, I got a minor in Classical Studies - or ancient Greece and Rome - so I have a pretty diverse educational background. In addition to my studies in college, I was DUMB (a proud member of the Duke University Marching Band) and I conducted research on Hawaiian monk seals. In the future, I hope to participate in more field work with marine mammals and eventually become a professor, so I look forward to incorporating tutoring into my educational track!

I'm going to fail, might as well not do it alone." I started working on homework with her and started to realize that I learned best when I taught others! Soon, I started "tutoring" many of my other pre-med friends in the same class and aced Chemistry! Since then, I've found a growing love for teaching others all sorts of subjects- especially all pre-medical sciences and the bible and it was my ticket into medical school! Still, medical school always hung on a string of doubt in my heart as I feel in love with teaching/ tutoring through teaching science and the bible so I eventually gave up medical school and started working at a school as a teaching aide with no idea if teaching was the path I should be on or not. Lo and behold near the end of the year, my school offered me a position and opportunity to become a certified teacher and here I am today working towards that and hoping to teach abroad someday!

BA Case Western Reserve University

I am currently a student at Case Western Reserve University for computer science. In high school, I was a member of the Peer Tutoring and Mentoring Club and enjoy working with students, primarily in math and science. My favorite subject is physics because it combines science with math and is actually applicable to real life. My learning philosophy is to just do practice problems. The more practice, the easier each problem will be. Somebody can spend all day just studying notes, but he or she will learn best by just doing practice problems. Outside of school, I own a website design business and I enjoy to do anything outdoors. I love snow skiing, water skiing, boating, hiking, and fishing.

I'm Elizabeth Krochka, but you can call me Beth. I'm a 23 year old Allegheny College graduate with a passion for learning and teaching. One day, I'd like to teach and I hope that working with Varsity Tutors and my clients will help me prepare to be a better teacher. I've always loved school, mainly because I had teachers who were extremely inspired by what they were teaching. They are why I think passion is the key to teaching and I hope to share my passion for learning with my clients. I think that a good teacher or tutor can be the difference between learning being a chore or an opportunity. Passion is contagious and once a student or client can view the information in a new light, what was once impossible becomes a conquered challenge.

An effective educator must be able to recognize each individual student's learning style and to adapt the lesson to accommodate that style. Also, each student has a different rate of learning. Thus, the lessons must be directed not only towards ensuring the student masters the material but also keeps the student engaged in and enthusiatic about the education process. Finally, the effective tutor must remember that the end goal of the learning process is not only to master a defined set of knowledge and skills, but also to learn "how to learn;" in this way the student will be better equipped to thrive in an ever changing environment.

I am an upcoming junior at Case Western Reserve University, currently pursuing a B.S. in biology with minors in psychology and chemistry. I enjoy being a camp counselor for the science camps at the Great Lakes Science Center, and more recently was an undergraduate teaching assistant for BIOL 215: Cells and Proteins. As a TA, I mainly worked with students who struggled with the class, but I greatly enjoyed helping students regardless of their skill level. As a biology major, with a particular interest in microbiology, I enjoy tutoring biology the most. However, I am happy to help with any subject that I'm knowledgeable in, especially writing. I have always had a passion for education, and am considering teaching at the college level someday. I believe that taking an individual's learning style into consideration is essential and very helpful to those who have not tried learning in their ideal way before. Outside of college work, I walk dogs part time, go on nature walks, and take care of the numerous furry and scaly creatures I have at home.

Anish
BA Case Western Reserve University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a high school graduate currently attending Case Western Reserve University as a junior where I am double majoring in economics and physics. Although economics and physics are my majors, mathematics is my favourite subject. The reason I am tutoring is that I want to provide help in mathematics and other subjects which I did not have for myself when I was in high school. Not only do I want to tutor because I have a feeling it will be beneficial for students but I also enjoy teaching. Whenever I show teenagers something cool about physics or math, they seem to enjoy the subject more now that they know how it works and they also do better in their classes which is a great feeling for me and beneficial for the students. This friendly but passionate tutoring style is what will make the session enjoyable by both parties but also result in better grades. I also love sports(especially soccer and basketball), reading, writing and speedcubing.

Gagik
PhD Wayne State University • PhD Jagiellonian University
2+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, where I completed my Ph.D. program in Physics. I was doing research in physics for many years, but it always comes a time when you feel you must pass your knowledge to other people, especially those of new generation. So, I started teaching and tutoring then. Originally I was teaching Conceptual, Algebra-Based and Calculus-Based Physics courses at different colleges and universities. Yet, while teaching these courses, I was also unofficially "tutoring" the students during my office hours when they were coming with their concerns and confusions. Officially, my tutoring started in January 2017, when I was offered to tutor at Science Learning Center of Stark State College in North Canton, Ohio. One thing I like in tutoring is the opportunity to work with students individually and use personal approaches to direct them to the success in their studies, rather than teaching an "average student" standing at a whiteboard or a projector screen. I am tutoring College, University and AP Physics courses, also I am able to tutor algebra/trigonometry and calculus. Rather that just giving the students the equations to solve the desired problems, I prefer to make the students work themselves, concentrating myself in directing them whenever it is necessary and explaining the subtle points of the confusing material studied. During the tests the students are left with their task alone with no help form anyone, and my goal is to make them able to deal with such tasks successfully.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. With 55 school districts and over 114 schools across the Cleveland area, students navigate different curricula and standards. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand Ohio's learning standards and can support students whether they attend Cleveland Public Schools, suburban districts, or charter schools throughout the region.

Ohio has specific grade-level standards in math, reading, science, and social studies that students are assessed on throughout their K-12 journey. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps students master these standards at their own pace, whether they're preparing for Ohio's state assessments or working to strengthen foundational skills that impact long-term success.

Cleveland's average student-teacher ratio is 18.8:1, which means teachers are managing large classrooms and may have limited time for individualized attention. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by providing one-on-one instruction tailored to a student's specific learning style, pace, and goals—something that's difficult to achieve in a traditional classroom setting.

The first session focuses on getting to know your student—their strengths, challenges, learning style, and specific goals. The tutor will assess where they stand academically and discuss what you hope to accomplish, whether that's improving grades, preparing for a test, or building confidence in a particular subject. This foundation helps shape all future sessions.

Many students work with a single tutor across multiple subjects, especially in elementary and middle school where one tutor can support reading, math, and writing together. For high school students tackling specialized subjects like chemistry or algebra, a subject-specific expert often works best. Varsity Tutors can match you with whatever structure fits your student's needs.

Not at all. Tutoring supports students at every level—from those catching up on foundational skills to advanced learners preparing for AP exams, college entrance tests, or competitions. Personalized instruction helps each student progress from where they are, whether that means building confidence or pushing toward excellence.

Pricing varies based on the tutor's expertise, the subject, and your student's needs. Varsity Tutors provides transparent pricing upfront so you know what to expect—there are no hidden fees. We can discuss your budget and match you with tutors who fit both your needs and your investment.

Simply tell us about your student's needs, grade level, and goals. Varsity Tutors will match them with an experienced tutor who's a good fit. Once you're connected, you can schedule sessions at times that work for your family and adjust as your student progresses.
