David

Algebra Tutor • +43 Subjects

Although formally trained in the biological sciences and in the art of medicine, I have amassed a strong base to be a successful educator. My prior experiences include over 10 years of teaching, tutoring, and educating over a wide range of both community and academic settings ranging from the collegiate to post-graduate level. I have highlighted some of these experiences in the following paragraph.During my undergraduate years, I worked as a TA in both the "Introduction to Biology" and "Biochemistry" courses, where I was responsible for both private and group tutoring. While earning my doctorate in Medical School, I employed myself as an MCAT tutor, providing educational tutoring as well as test-taking and time-management skills coaching. As a medical intern, one responsibility consisted of simultaneously directing the teaching of medical school students and outpatients coming to the various subspecialty clinics for educational workshops. During my post-graduate residency training, I was responsible for providing intraoperative education and scheduled lectures appropriate to the training level and interests of medical students and visiting residents.

Vanessa

Algebra Tutor • +8 Subjects

I am a Medical school graduate who is looking for tutor before starting my residency in July. I have worked with Princeton Review before I started medical school and tutored for the SAT Math, Verbal, and Writing sections. I enjoy teaching and find it a rewarding experience. As a medical student, I tutored underclassmen as well in various basic science subjects. Ever since I was in grade school myself, I enjoyed doing math problems and always found a fun way to work through them. Though I have not been certified to teach in an education system, I have plenty of experience teaching.When I don't have my head stuck in a medical school text book, I enjoy dancing, cooking, crafting and hiking. Growing up, I did well in school. Each new academic challenge was exciting and motivational. I've learned that hard work and determination can come a long ways, and sometimes when you hit a subject that you struggle with, it may be very discouraging. I wish to help those who find a certain subject harder than the rest and keep them from giving up and instead help them to finish school, find a job, and build a career.

Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a Senior at UC Berkeley, expecting to graduate next spring with a degree in Engineering Physics. Since I began tutoring, it has always been my philosophy to make sure the student understands a subject by breaking down concepts in the easiest way. My passion for the sciences drives me to not only teach what is on paper, but offer deeper insights to the material. I also love to laugh, and because of that, I try to make sessions light hearted, and less intimidating. Furthermore, as a problem solver, I will stop at nothing to ensure a student succeeds and fully understands a subject.

We all learn in different ways, and I love figuring out what makes the light bulb go on for individual students.

I have been a tutor for test prep (including ACT, SAT, LSAT and AP testing), academic and creative writing, and general academic assistance for three years.When I am not tutoring, I am doing data science for a start-up, playing basketball, or doing stand-up.

Learning is about awakening curiosity, engagement and creativity. What a gift it is to enhance our capacities to express our views and arguments. For more than fifteen years, I have worked with students as a University teacher both in England and in New York, Chicago, Ann Arbor and California. We have developed writing, enhanced critical reading capacity, honed grammar and strengthened subject-based knowledge. Ask what connection a task has to your life and the things you care about as a way of awakening your interest. Let's focus on critical analysis and creative reflection along with basic skills and structure as a way to give your exams and essays a boost. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

Brooke

Algebra Tutor • +19 Subjects

Since graduating with my PhD in Nuclear Physics from the University of California, Davis in 2009, I have spent 7 years as a community college physics professor. As a community college graduate myself, I understand the challenges facing students and I am a passionate teacher. I am currently taking a year in Cambridge to complete a Master's degree in the Harvard Graduate School of Education to further improve my skills. As a tutor, physics is my favorite topic, but I am also enthusiastic about math as well as GRE test prep. From my experience in the classroom, I have discovered that it's very important to tailor the learning experience to each student. Every student is different and will benefit from varied methods. In general it's important to minimize lecturing and to give a student the opportunity to try and succeed at problems with gentle guidance. Outside of teaching, my interests are diverse. I enjoy reading, movies, CrossFit, theater, and dancing, specifically Salsa and Swing.

ACT English Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I graduated with honors, majoring in neuroscience and minoring in mathematics, chemistry, and French. I aspire to become a physician, especially a neurologist, since I am kind of obsessed with the brain and our nervous system. For the next year, I will be working part time as a scribe at the Northside Hospitals in Atlanta.Ever since high school, I have been a tutor in one way or another. I was a peer mentor at my high school???s writing center for three years in a row. Although I was not paid for my services, I enjoyed tutoring other students because teaching helped me expand my knowledge on the material, as well. That is when my interest in tutoring began. I kept tutoring in college as well with the athletic department and TRIO academic services. Through my experiences, I have grown as an educator, learning different tactics and strategies to help students expand their knowledge. My passion for helping others has not left me and I would like to use it to help students in this program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Trenton's 9 school districts with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Trenton Public Schools district or one of the surrounding districts, we can match them with a tutor who understands New Jersey's curriculum standards and can provide targeted help in their specific subject areas.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly effective for helping students master New Jersey's rigorous standards. With a 13.2:1 average student-teacher ratio in Trenton schools, many students benefit from the focused attention a tutor provides to fill gaps and accelerate learning in subjects like math, English language arts, and science. Tutors can align their instruction with your student's specific curriculum and state assessment requirements.

Students in Trenton seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, with strong demand for math (algebra, geometry, and test prep), English language arts, science, and standardized test preparation like the SAT and ACT. We also connect students with tutors for AP courses, New Jersey high school exit exams, and subject-specific support to meet grade-level expectations.

The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their current strengths, challenges, learning style, and specific goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically and discuss how personalized instruction can address gaps or accelerate progress. From there, you'll work together to create a tailored plan that fits your student's needs and your family's timeline.

Many students show noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, starting point, and frequency of sessions. Research on 1-on-1 instruction shows significant gains when students receive regular, focused support. Your tutor will track progress and adjust the approach as needed to keep your student moving forward.

Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who offer flexible scheduling to fit busy school days and extracurricular activities. Whether your student needs support after school, on weekends, or during the summer, we can find a tutor who works with your family's schedule.

We match students based on their specific subject needs, learning goals, and the tutor's expertise in that area. Tutors working with Trenton students are familiar with New Jersey's academic standards and can provide instruction that directly supports what students are learning in their classrooms. We take care of the matching process so you can focus on your student's progress.

We offer flexible tutoring options at various price points to meet different family budgets. The cost depends on factors like the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We recommend starting with a conversation about your needs and budget—we can help you find a tutoring plan that works for your family while providing the quality instruction your student deserves.
