I have over 4 years of substitute teaching experience in which I have taught students from Kindergarten to High School. I also worked with students in special education classes who have had to work through disabilities from autism to dyslexia. I have learned that the most important part of working with a student is to be as patient and flexible as possible. It is important to be receptive to the needs of the students and developing a deep understanding with them to let them know that they can trust you and are aware that you are willing to help them no matter what.

I am eager to help learners of any age and educational background thrive through providing careful listening, guidance, and feedback. I enjoy teaching a variety of subjects ranging from statistics to psychology to the Japanese language. I was born in New York, NY, and grew up in northern New Jersey attending the local public school system and the Japanese Weekend School of New Jersey. After completing two high school diplomas, I pursued a Bachelor's of Arts degree in Psychology at New York University and worked in New York, NY for six years in private industry. I returned to higher education, moving to Boston where I conducted research, taught, and studied Clinical Psychology. After completing a Master of Liberal Arts in Clinical Psychology at Harvard University, I moved to Salt Lake City, UT to pursue a PhD in Psychology (Clinical Neuropsychology). I am proficient in SPSS, Stata, APA formatting, and research methods for the behavioral sciences. I have limited exposure and experience with R and MATLAB.
I am senior at Brigham Young University with a 4.0 GPA. I am majoring in Exercise Science and am going to go to Physical Therapy school. I am also getting a minor in Psychology. I lived in France for two years and became fluent in the French language. I continue to converse with natives in French. I was a college chemistry TA for three semesters and love teaching chemistry. I did very well on standardized tests. I love to teach and impart knowledge to others in a way that is compatible with individual learning styles.
I am here to provide encouragement and support and I am willing to go to great extents to help you reach your educational goals.
I am currently a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology, but I have been tutoring ever since I was in elementary school. Because not everyone learns the same way, I feel that it is easy for students to miss certain tidbits or whole subjects in the classroom, and it can quickly feel like it is too late to catch up. My goal is to work together to pick up the pieces that were lost or are close, but not quite there: learning the way you want to learn and the way you learn best rather than having topics taught at you.
I am a student at the University of Utah majoring in Mathematics, and I am loving every minute of it. I plan to go Medical School, but I chose Math as my major because it has been a love of mine since elementary school. My favorite part of the week is when I volunteer at the Best Friends Animal Society, and during my free time, I like to read and hang out with my friends. During my time as a tutor, I have found that I love to teach and encourage students because it reminds me of the support that I have day to day as I follow my ambitions.
I am starting a part-time lecturer position at Paul Quinn College in the fall for General Biology I lab and lecture. I love to learn and teach.
I am currently studying Elementary Education at Brigham Young University. I am also minoring in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and Spanish DLI (Dual Language Immersion). I am fluent in Spanish because I lived in Mexico for 18 months, but I also went through the language learning process in high school classes and understand the challenges students face. I love teaching and tutoring anyone with a desire to improve, especially elementary aged students. I try to make learning fun and accessible to each individual student's learning style. In my spare time I like to read, cook, play tennis and paint.
I am currently working on obtaining an English Teaching degree to better be able to accomplish that mission. I want to get a job as a high school English teacher after graduating from BYU. I have had several long-term opportunities to tutor, both unpaid and professionally and I recently received my Level 1 Tutoring certificate from the College Reading and Learning Association.
I'm Matthew. I look forward to getting to know you or someone you love, as well as helping them succeed in their endeavors to master whatever tests, subjects, or ideas they wish. I am a student at Brigham Young University, and am currently an undecided major. I have a passion for tutoring and helping my pupils succeed. I am charismatic, fun, hardworking, spontaneous, and reliable! I am more than a guy with a brain; I have an ability to connect with people on a personal level. As you will see, my various tactics and approaches when it comes to tutoring are as effective as they are unique and engaging.
I am from Nashville, Tennessee but have lived in seven different states all over the U.S. I currently attend Brigham Young University and am loving it. I enjoy the one-on-one interaction I get with people when I tutor. Watching people really understand and be excited about learning is what makes it worthwhile for me. The key is to spark the fun and excitement of learning within the student. I have tutored primarily middle and high school students but am comfortable with any age. I tutor many subjects, but am especially proficient in the areas of test preparation, math, and Spanish. I took several AP classes, was on the honor roll, and was blessed to receive a full-tuition National Merit scholarship for college. I currently have an open major but am leaning toward a degree in finance or information systems. I am fluent in Spanish thanks to a two-year mission for my church. Because of this I am now part of a Hispanic volunteer group helping children learn to read more fluently. I played rugby and football, and I love doing things outdoors, whether it be hiking, going to the lake, skiing, or backpacking. I have also traveled to many parts of the world and enjoy having new experiences and learning about other cultures.
I am a Senior at Fordham University, where I am double majoring in Humanitarian Studies and Communications and Culture. My academic undergrad research is focused on fan fiction and participatory culture. I have worked in communications with INEE, immigration casework at the Office of U.S. Senator Gillibrand, refugee resettlement with Catholic Charities, procurement with URENCO USA, and as a children's librarian assistant. This fall, I will be attending law school, with the intent of pursuing a career in immigration public policy after graduation.

Murray students frequently seek support in math, science, and standardized test preparation—particularly for the ACT, which is widely taken by Utah high school students. We also work with students on foundational reading and writing skills, as well as advanced coursework like AP and honors classes. Tutors can tailor instruction to match your student's specific challenges and learning pace.
With an average student-teacher ratio of 23.5:1 in Murray schools, many students benefit from one-on-one attention that addresses their individual learning gaps. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's needs, adapt explanations to their learning style, and move at a pace that builds confidence and mastery.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with Utah's Core Standards and how they're taught across Murray schools. Tutors can reinforce concepts from your student's classes, help them prepare for state assessments, and build the foundational skills needed to succeed in Utah's curriculum—from elementary math and literacy through high school STEM and humanities courses.
The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to get to know your student, understand their academic strengths and challenges, and identify specific areas where they need support. The tutor will ask questions about your student's learning style, current coursework, and goals—then create a personalized plan for future sessions. It's a low-pressure conversation focused on building a foundation for effective learning.
Many students see noticeable improvement within a few weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, the student's starting point, and how frequently they meet with a tutor. Research on personalized instruction shows that one-on-one support significantly accelerates learning when students engage regularly. We recommend discussing realistic goals with your tutor during the first session.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and teaching experience. Tutors are vetted professionals who understand how to explain concepts clearly and adapt their teaching to each student's needs.
