MS Harvard University • BA Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania
3+ Years Tutoring

I am a strong believer that anyone can learn anything! I attended the University of Pennsylvania as an undergraduate and recently finished my Master's in Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. As a tutor, I create a space where my learners can feel empowered and safe to take on the sometimes difficult, yet often fulfilling and fun, challenge of learning new things. I practice a growth mindset philosophy, and I often say that it is okay to be wrong, it just means you haven't learned the material... yet. With patience and effective pedagogy, I strive to give my students confidence that they can learn anything they set their mind to. I take my students' desires, motivations, goals, and interests seriously. Fun fact: I am an international student from Malaysia!

BA Harvard University
4+ Years Tutoring

I am an undergraduate student at Harvard University! I am studying history and linguistics, and plan to teach English abroad for a few years post-graduation. Though I enjoy tutoring a wide range of subjects, I have the most experience helping students with their writing. I would love to help you improve your writing skills in general, or to look at specific essays or papers. I also enjoy tutoring English/ Language Arts more broadly, including ESL, and math. I do hold a TEFL certificate. I try to keep lessons with students interesting, because I think it's really hard to learn when you don't enjoy what you're learning! I hope to work with you to develop lesson plans that are curated to your goals and interests.

Meghan
BA Cornell University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Cornell University, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English with a Minor in Music. I hold a Masters of Arts in English from the University of Connecticut, where I am currently working on my PhD in American Literature. I tutor a mix of test preparation, English, Literature, and Writing. In helping students with reading and writing skills, I enjoy using multiple different approaches to develop a well-rounded understanding of the techniques, while making the sessions fun. I'm a strong proponent of keeping studying dynamic. It is important to me that my students come away from our sessions with not only the scores or grades they desire, but a deeper understanding of the topics and skills that will continue to benefit them beyond test day. In my spare time I love long runs, singing, hiking, and reading.

Margaret
BA Princeton University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am applying to medical school and I'm enrolled at the BU Medical school getting my Master's in Medical Science. As a recent graduate of Princeton University, I have realized the importance of the learning process. Often times the difficulty of the material comes from the unfamiliarity of the approach to it, rather than the inherent difficulty of the material. As a tutor, I hope to help my students realize that they can master the material when they learn the best learning strategies to approaching their various assignments.

10+ Years Tutoring

I am a senior at MIT majoring in Writing with a specialization in Digital Media. I have also completed a minor in Business Management. As one of ten writing majors at a school full of people pursuing science and technology rather than humanities subjects, I have taken a default position as tutor for anyone struggling with any writing assignments. I have helped fellow college students on a wide variety assignments ranging from analytic papers on race in the media, to papers on scientific theories, to scholarship essays. In high school I was a Link Crew tutor for three years, making myself available for tutoring sessions after school for whatever subject students required help in.

Vanessa
BA Harvard University
4+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Harvard University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Social Studies with a focus in food policy and law. During my undergraduate studies I spent my time in political organizations and in research, teaching fellowships on political philosophy at Harvard Effective Altruism and serving as a Visiting Researcher in food policy at the University of Cambridge. After graduating, I spent time as a researcher in political science and history and mentored students working towards attending top schools in the US and UK, providing one-on-one help with applications and developing seminars on topics like Sociology and English. Most recently, I have started a non-profit organization in Ecuador focused on educating families about healthy cooking and providing nutritional assistance. At the same time, I am excited to continue pursuing my passion for teaching and helping students navigate subjects like History, English Literature, ESL, Spanish, and Standardized Tests like the ACT, AP, and IB tests. I believe that the knowledge young people receive in primary and secondary education is the ultimate individual enrichment; an essential part of understanding who they are and a key to seeing who they may become. In my spare time, I walk, read history books like Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals, and listen to music like Led Zeppelin and Lana del Rey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Fall River's 27 schools and all 4 school districts with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in the Fall River Public Schools, charter schools, or private institutions, we can match them with a tutor who understands their specific curriculum and academic goals.

Massachusetts has rigorous academic standards, and tutoring provides targeted support to help students master grade-level expectations and prepare for state assessments. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify gaps in understanding and work at your student's pace—something that's especially valuable in Fall River classrooms where the average student-teacher ratio is 13.4:1, making individualized attention in school challenging.

Fall River students typically seek help with math, reading comprehension, and test preparation—particularly as they advance through middle and high school. We also work with students on writing skills, science fundamentals, and preparation for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, which are critical for college readiness in Massachusetts.

The first session is an assessment and planning meeting. Your tutor will get to know your student, understand their learning style, identify specific challenges, and discuss academic goals. From there, they'll develop a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs and your family's timeline.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We offer flexible scheduling and pricing options to fit different budgets, and we're happy to discuss what works best for your family. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your student's specific needs.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and experience teaching. Each tutor is vetted for their ability to work effectively with students, and many have backgrounds in education, professional expertise in their subject area, or both.
