Valerie
BA University of Chicago
1+ Years Tutoring

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Chicago majoring in Classics and Theatre. However, my college uses the core curriculum and as a result, I've had a well-rounded, eclectic education covering everything from math to fine arts. I've won awards in community service, dance, and film, but most notably, 20 writing prizes before I reached eighteen. I was a National Merit Semi-Finalist in high school and I've had a passion for education and the art of learning since I was a child. I hope to instill in my students the love of amassing knowledge, excelling in your studies, and walking out of a test feeling like you rocked it. I especially had a passion for the Critical Reading and the Writing portions of the SAT's and the SAT 2 in Literature. I have teaching experience with everything from stand-up comedy to Emergency Medical Services to tap dancing, and I've been told that I am unmatched in my enthusiasm. In my free time, I like to perform sketch and improv comedy, dance, play the banjo, and volunteer in my local hospital.

BA The University of Alabama • Juris Doctor, Legal Studies Yale University
7+ Years Tutoring

I am a recent graduate from the University of Alabama who will be starting at Yale Law School in the fall of 2019. I double majored in International Studies and French with a minor in African American Studies. During my time at UA, I participated in mentoring programs that allowed me to work with elementary school children, in addition, to being a coach for children aged 2-18 years old. I entirely self-studied for the LSAT and scored in the top 1 percentile, so I am well prepared for helping students achieve their law school goals.

Maxwell
BA Yale University
4+ Years Tutoring

I am an undergraduate student at Yale University. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology along with a certificate of advanced language in Spanish. I currently do research studying changes in stem cells and gene expression during different planarian physiological processes. I am extremely interested in biochemical and biophysical processes, closely tied to my interest in STEM courses and education. I have the most experience tutoring math, science, and Spanish, using my personal and current education with feedback from previous students to refine my approach. In high school I started a student success center during covid to provide free online tutoring, providing tutors in all subjects during set hours of the week. I work hard to create a comfortable environment to reduce the stresses and pressures of tutoring, not only allowing me to enhance my student's education but do so in a way that is most suited to their learning styles. I have gone through the college application process recently and would love to share my knowledge of standardized testing (study tips, general questions, and subject-specific tutoring), college preparation, and the application process. Outside of the classroom, I dance for Sabrosura (Yale's Premier Latin Dance team), explore what borders campus on walks and hikes, and love trying new foods and experiences.

Brittany
BA Yale University
7+ Years Tutoring

I am a Yale University graduate with professional teaching experience at the college level. I know the SAT Writing and Reading sections like the back of my hand, and I know English, writing, and history as subjects just the same, but what I know most is how stressful and daunting the college admissions process can be. I am most passionate about helping you succeed in your school and test prep endeavors and to do that, I will teach you the test taking methods, study habits and study tricks that work best for you individually. No cookie-cutters tactics, no frustration. I am here to instruct, support, build confidence, encourage, and most of all, to be a patient guide in getting you where you want to be.

10+ Years Tutoring

I am a freshman at Yale University, hailing originally from Seattle in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I believe that education is one of the most fundamental aspects of a society's wellbeing, and that it is the duty of those of us who have been graced with the advantages of a good education to give back in some way; one of my motivations for tutoring is to do my part in that way.

Tessa
Current Undergrad, Mathematics and History Yale University
10+ Years Tutoring

I'm an undergraduate student at Yale University, with a prospective double major in Mathematics and History. I strive to bring students toward their lightbulb moments not by repeating facts until they're drilled in, but by helping my students understand precisely why the laws of science, the rules of grammar, and the events of history are the way they are, and by lifting the curtain on the intricacies of the subject matter. I believe that learning is, and ought to be, for its own sake.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects Connecticut students with tutors across a wide range of subjects, including math (from elementary through calculus), English and writing, sciences, history, foreign languages, test prep (SAT, ACT, AP), and more. Whether your student needs help with core academics or specialized subjects, we can match them with an expert tutor who understands their specific learning goals and Connecticut's educational standards.

When you connect with Varsity Tutors, we learn about your student's academic needs, learning style, and goals—then match them with a tutor who's the right fit. The matching process considers factors like subject expertise, teaching approach, and availability. Once matched, you'll work directly with your tutor to schedule sessions and create a personalized learning plan tailored to your student's needs.

Yes. Connecticut students average 1,180 on the SAT and 27 on the ACT, and personalized tutoring can help students exceed these benchmarks. One-on-one instruction allows tutors to identify knowledge gaps, focus on weak areas, and build test-taking strategies in ways group classes can't match. Many students see significant score improvements through consistent, targeted tutoring tailored to their specific challenges.

Varsity Tutors serves Connecticut students from elementary through high school, as well as college-level coursework. Whether your child needs help with foundational skills in elementary math, support navigating middle school transitions, test prep for high school exams like the SAT and ACT, or assistance with AP and honors courses, we can connect you with a qualified tutor.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to adapt teaching methods to your student's individual learning style, pace, and interests—something that's difficult in a classroom of 20+ students. Research shows that one-on-one tutoring significantly accelerates learning by providing immediate feedback, addressing misconceptions in real time, and building confidence. For Connecticut students, this personalized approach is especially valuable when preparing for high-stakes tests or tackling challenging subjects.

Varsity Tutors works with expert tutors who have diverse backgrounds—many are certified teachers, subject matter experts, or experienced educators. What matters most is that each tutor has deep knowledge of their subject and skill in helping students learn. During the matching process, we ensure your student is paired with someone qualified and experienced in the specific subject and grade level they need support with.

Tutoring costs vary based on factors like the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's needs. Rather than a one-size-fits-all price, Varsity Tutors works with you to find options that fit your budget and goals. Contact us directly to discuss your situation—we can explain pricing and help you understand what personalized tutoring investment makes sense for your student's academic needs.
