New York raises the academic bar higher than almost anywhere else in the country — Regents Exams in every core subject, a dense AP course landscape, and college admissions competition that's fierce even by national standards. For students in New York aiming to stand out, the difference often comes down to how deeply they've mastered the material, not just whether they've covered it.
Each student matched through Varsity Tutors works with a tutor selected for their specific subject expertise, learning style, and goals — whether that's Regents prep in Living Environment or Chemistry, SAT/ACT score targets, or mastering AP Calculus. Tutors familiar with New York's Common Core standards and Regents requirements bring that local fluency to every session, and flexible scheduling means instruction fits around even the most demanding school calendars.

Alana
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +33 Subjects
Hello there! I would love to work with your student! I was the valedictorian of my high school, earning my diploma with a 4.6328 GPA (the highest in the history of my school), and I recently graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor's in Neurobiology and Behavior as I pursue God's calling for me to become a neurosurgeon. I was the captain of the Peer Tutoring Lab at my high school from 10th to 12th grade, so I have experience tutoring students from elementary to high school level. Because I understand the importance of fully grasping material and believe that students all approach content differently, I am a patient teacher willing to explain the same concept in different ways multiple times. I strive to create a warm, caring learning experience in my sessions because every student deserves a positive academic support system. I earned a score of 5 on both AP English Exams, a 1530 on the SAT, and won the National Merit Scholarship Competition in 2022. I'd love to work with you!

"BYE TO AI" DISCLAIMER: At a time when so many tutors use AI to create lesson plans, conduct research, and even grade students' work, I must disclaim that I do not and will not use AI in our work together. The humanities are fundamentally, well, human, and AI has no place here. Hi! I'm Sophia, a writer, editor, tutor, and voice teacher. I graduated Vanderbilt University with my Bachelor's in History, a second major in Voice, a concentration in Musicology, and a minor in Italian. I'm currently pursuing my Master's. I have extensive experience with academic writing and am also an award-winning creative writer. If you need help editing an essay, college personal statement, or writing of any kind, I'm here! I tutor middle school through collegiate humanities (think ELA and History), as well as Voice and musical academics (Musicology, Music Theory, Solfege, Conducting, etc.) for students of all ages.
Alexander
Geometry Tutor • +52 Subjects
I've been a university professor for the past five years and have been tutoring for as long as I can remember. I began tutoring informally while I was still in high school, helping friends get ready for their SATs, helping them with assignments. I realized quickly that I was suddenly helping half of my school so I decided to make some fliers, and some money, and offer my tutoring to anyone and everyone in my hometown. Suffice to say, some odd years have gone by since then and now, even as a full-time professor, I find myself enjoying the experience of tutoring and helping students on an individual level enough to continue doing it. With a background in the sciences and mathematics, and a graduate degree in philosophy I'm incredibly well-rounded in terms of what I'm capable of teaching and moreover, have a generally positive pedagogical approach to everything; I really do love teaching. Even fields in which I have little experience become a contest with myself to master solely for the sake of helping a student. I have extensive experience in reading, writing, and editing (I've been published several times over as both head author and editor) and its something that I truly love to do. I currently hold three Undergraduate degrees in Mathematics, Physics, and Linguistics, as well as two Graduate degrees in Philosophy and Theology. From basic English to advanced Banjo I look forward to engaging in any assignment that anyone may have for me!
Sonali
Middle School Math Tutor • +46 Subjects
Boston University Bachelors of science in Neurobiology. I have been tutoring ages K-12 for 6+ years now - through various public and private sessions, highschool + AP classes, college classes + TAing. I tutor a wide variety of subjects, and specifically very passionate about tutoring all levels of Biology and Chemistry, ACT prep, and AP English, History, and Science tests. There is something so rewarding about breaking down large, complex mechanisms and concepts into understandable parts. I approach every session with a clear goal for each student's needs - whether that is a specific problem or just general content review. I've strengthened my ability to identify specific obstacles and turn them into opportunities for growth and I emphasize active learning and practice in my sessions, creating an engaging and dynamic environment where students feel comfortable to ask questions and discover solutions.
