I am a sophomore at Johns Hopkins University studying Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. I tutor many STEM subjects, SAT/ACT prep, and AP/IB classes! In the years past, I've mentored two robotics teams and I have experience tutoring at my school and in my neighborhood. I deeply believe that an intuitive understanding of educational content is crucial to success, and I implement this philosophy by teaching problem-solving techniques and strategies in addition to the material. In my free time, I love to read, paint, crochet, and watch TV shows. :)

I am a rising senior at Duke University who is Pre Med and majoring in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. I was born and raised in Miami FL and went to public school until college (Sunset Elementary, GW Carver Middle and Coral Reef Senior High for those from Miami). I decided to start tutoring because I would not be on this path had I not had good teachers supporting me along the way. For that reason I want to be able to help others achieve their goals without academics being a huge hurdle.

I'm passionate about guiding high schoolers through the college application process. The admissions process is probably one of the most confusing, anxiety-inducing experiences you'll have in high school, but I'm full of ideas for making the entire process as successful and stress-free as possible. I've successfully guided many students through every stage of admissions -- from figuring out where to apply and then staying organized and on-track, to "packaging" themselves and producing a perfect personal statement -- and I love witnessing them achieve their admissions dreams.

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +34 Subjects
i am a student at The University of Pennsylvania studying business and computer science. My interest in tutoring began in middle school when I started taking online math classes for more enrichment and exposure. In high school, I founded Mu Alpha Theta and ran it all four years of high school. I love teaching students in all aspects of math and science.
Santiago
Geometry Tutor • +26 Subjects
I am a rising senior at Duke University majoring in Psychology and minoring in English. I first started tutoring when I was 10; I'd explain new words in books to my little sister and help her with cursive, work on times tables with my older brother, and teach the little bit of English I knew to my immigrant parents. I tutored students in my middle school through a counseling program, helped deaf and disabled students develop social and creative skills, and freelance tutored throughout high school, and have tutored Spanish-speaking immigrant families (ages 6-12) in Durham, NC since October 2018. Other teaching experiences include training my dog to go down a slide on command and teaching my 10th-grade precalculus teacher how to hand whistle. Though I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and Writing. I believe reading and writing are not only complex forms of thinking, but avenues for understanding someone else's unique perspective and ways of being in life. I have the most fun helping my students dissect arguments and meaning from texts, especially when it's in Spanish, my native language. When I'm not tutoring, I most likely am listening to music, playing board games with my family, or looking at cat videos online.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +24 Subjects
I'm a passionate explorer, educator, and scientist. I am a Planetary Science Researcher (PhD, 2008). I write grants to NASA to use spacecraft data to study the composition and evolution of rocky planetary bodies (Moon, Mercury, asteroids). My research is broad and interdisciplinary that equips me to tutor many subjects and also to show students connections between subjects when it improves subject mastery. I have been teaching and tutoring for over twenty years, at every level of my education and career. In high school I taught aerospace education and aviation search and rescue while I earned my pilot's license. As an undergraduate at Duke I tutored athletes in Geology, Calculus, and Electrical Engineering core courses and I was a teaching assistant for Computer Science and Linear Circuits Laboratory. In graduate school I was a teaching assistant in geology. And as a professor, I've taught undergraduate and graduate science courses at a major U.S. research university. Most recently I designed a combined English and Engineering elective to students with limited English Proficiency at a small university in Colombia.
Rodrigo
SAT Tutor
My tutoring sessions are interactive, patient, and highly personalized. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all methodeach student learns differently, so I adapt my approach to match their individual pace, goals, and learning style. I focus on helping students truly understand the why behind each concept, not just memorize formulas or shortcuts. Together, we work step-by-step through problems, discussing reasoning, strategy, and underlying principles until everything clicks. My goal is to build lasting confidence and clarity. Whether a student is catching up, aiming to excel, or just trying to feel more comfortable with the material, I create a supportive environment where they can ask questions freely, think critically, and stay engaged. I also believe in strong communicationkeeping parents informed and helping students take ownership of their learning. Above all, I want my students to leave each session feeling capable, confident, and genuinely connected to what they're learning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Lakeland's 81 schools with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in the Polk County district or a charter school in the area, we match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum and academic expectations.
With an average student-teacher ratio of 18.3:1 in Lakeland schools, many students benefit from personalized attention that classroom settings can't always provide. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning style, pace, and specific gaps—something that's difficult in larger classroom environments. This targeted approach helps students master concepts more quickly and build confidence.
Tutors who work with Lakeland students are familiar with Florida's B.E.S.T. standards and the specific expectations across grade levels and subjects. Whether your student needs support with reading, math, science, or social studies aligned to state benchmarks, tutors tailor instruction to help them succeed on classroom assessments and state evaluations like the FSA.
The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their learning style, current challenges, and academic goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands in their subject, discuss what support would be most helpful, and create a personalized plan. This foundation ensures that every session after builds on what works best for your student.
Lakeland students seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, including math (especially algebra and geometry), reading and writing, science, and test preparation for standardized assessments. Many students also benefit from support in foundational skills like reading comprehension and writing mechanics, which build confidence across all other subjects.
Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions you choose. Varsity Tutors works with families to find flexible options that fit different budgets and schedules. We recommend discussing your needs and preferences during the initial consultation so we can connect you with the right match.
Tutors who work with Lakeland students are carefully selected and vetted for subject expertise, teaching experience, and the ability to connect with students. Many have backgrounds in education, subject-matter specialization, or both. Each tutor is matched to your student based on their specific needs and learning style.
Many students show improvement in understanding and confidence within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline varies based on the subject, the student's starting point, and how frequently they meet with their tutor. Regular sessions combined with practice between meetings tend to produce the strongest results. We recommend discussing realistic goals with your tutor to track progress over time.
