Simon

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am dedicated to helping both struggling and thriving students excel in the subject in question. While I will work closely with my tutees, I will never just tell them how to answer a problem. Making sure the student is able to solve the problem on his own and understand why this method of solution works is how the subjects can be mastered. Hobbies: writing, books, music, art, sports, reading

Wamweni

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania pursuing a Masters in International Educational Development. I graduated from Stetson University with my BA in 2017, and since then have worked in inner city schools. The last two years, I have taught Algebra and Geometry at a charter high school, while managing a math tutorial program within the school. I find great joy is setting students up for success and helping them achieve the utmost in school. I do not only focus on student academic performance, but also on their social-emotional well-being, so they may attain a positive mindset of their day-to-day learning. I have 10 years experience working with elementary kids, including assisting with homeschooling. However, I am more passionate about helping students understand higher levels of mathematics. I am a believer in quality education, that's why I make sure to create an engaging learning environment for my students.

Mary

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a 2014 graduate of Cornell University's College of Engineering where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Biological Engineering. I have just begun my Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University. My favorite subjects to tutor include Test Prep and elementary/middle school subjects. I enjoy helping younger students so that they can be excited about learning and begin their education with a solid foundation in reading, writing, and mathematics. I believe it is important to provide students with the proper tools to succeed at a young age so that they continue to have a desire to learn for the rest of their lives. I loved my college experience and want to show high school students that with practice and diligence, they too can perform well on standardized tests and go on to the university of their choosing. To accomplish academic goals at any level, it is important for the student to have fun while learning! I personalize my teaching approach to fit the student's learning style so that he or she can easily transition from learning a concept to applying it to a given problem. The greatest reward is seeing the smile on a student's face when a topic "clicks".

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across York's 8 school districts with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends school in the York City School District, South Western School District, or any of the other districts in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands their specific curriculum and academic goals.

Pennsylvania has specific standards for math, reading, science, and social studies that students must master at each grade level. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with these state standards and can provide targeted instruction to help close gaps and build confidence in key areas like PA-required standardized testing and course competencies.

York students frequently seek help with math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, writing skills, and test preparation for standardized assessments like the PSSA and Keystone Exams. We also work with students on science and social studies support, particularly when they're preparing for AP or honors-level coursework.

During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current understanding, identify specific challenges, and learn about their learning style and goals. This initial meeting helps establish a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs and sets the foundation for productive, focused sessions moving forward.

York's average student-teacher ratio is about 14:1 in classrooms, which means teachers have limited time to address each student's individual needs. With personalized 1-on-1 tutoring, your student gets dedicated attention focused entirely on their specific challenges and learning pace, allowing for faster progress and deeper understanding of difficult concepts.

Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors experienced in preparing for PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment), Keystone Exams, and other state-required assessments. Tutors can focus on the specific content areas and test-taking strategies that help York students perform confidently on these important evaluations.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions your student needs. Varsity Tutors works with families to create flexible tutoring plans that fit different budgets and schedules. Contact us to discuss your student's specific needs and get personalized pricing information.

We consider your student's subject needs, grade level, learning style, and specific goals when connecting them with a tutor. Our matching process ensures the tutor has expertise in the areas where your student needs support and can communicate effectively with them—creating the best foundation for academic growth.
