Kyle
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a current student at Yale University pursuing a degree in English. Since I was little, writing and storytelling has been one of my biggest passions. Though back then, I often told stories to my friends and family as though they were truth, once they helped me find the page I've had much, much more success. I have been tutoring kids since I was in high school, but I've also spent many hours working with kids on the baseball diamond as a coach, as well as as a camp counselor. My philosophy is that I know how hard and difficult (and sometimes annoying) high school English and History classes can be, and my goal is to try and bring a little fun back into the material while making sure we do what it takes to master your craft as a budding young writer, whether in a rhetorical analysis of Pride and Prejudice or in your CommonApp personal essay.
Noah
College Algebra Tutor • +38 Subjects
I am friendly, communicate well, and capable of adapting my teaching style to meet every student's needs. As a student and as a tutor, I understand the difficulties both face and look to build my tutoring style around my tutee. As a young tutor, I can also relate well to students. Having taken many of the same courses and exams only a few years ago, I understand what it takes to succeed and am willing to go the extra mile to make sure my students enjoy the same success. Hobbies: running, travel, reading, cooking, music, writing, art, books, traveling

Braxton
Calculus Tutor • +14 Subjects
I am passionate about creating individualized lesson plans to address a tutee's needs, so that the student can thrive. I have a long list of resources that can provide alternative ways to learn, whether that's through well-written textbooks, videos, or interactive virtual tools. I am patient and encourage questions, and will work with a student step-by-step until they understand it well enough to answer it on their own.
Alex
Calculus Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Brown University (2012- GPA 3.7) where I graduated with degrees in English Literature and Theatre Arts. I have always had a passion for teaching, first fostering this interest as a teacher's aid in my school's Lower School and as a camp counselor for a number of years. Teaching and education continued to be an important part of my collegiate life as well. As far as hobbies are concerned, I love Photography and travel writing. My favorite author (not a travel writer) is Virginia Woolf. Hobbies: music, art, travel, books, photography, writing, reading

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Clifton's 35 schools with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in the Clifton Public School District or Passaic County area, we match them with expert tutors who understand New Jersey's curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.
New Jersey's academic standards require strong foundational skills in math, literacy, and critical thinking. Personalized tutoring helps students master these core competencies at their own pace, which is especially valuable given Clifton's average student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1. Tutors can focus on areas where a student needs extra support without the constraints of a classroom setting.
Clifton students most frequently seek tutoring in math, English/language arts, and test preparation for standardized assessments like the SAT and ACT. Additionally, many students benefit from support in algebra, geometry, and writing skills—areas that build the foundation for success in high school and beyond. Varsity Tutors also connects students with tutors in foreign languages, sciences, and AP subjects.
The first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify specific academic needs. The tutor will assess your student's current skill level, discuss learning goals, and develop a personalized plan tailored to their strengths and areas for growth. This foundation helps ensure that subsequent sessions are focused and productive.
Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors experienced in SAT, ACT, and New Jersey state assessment preparation. Whether your student is in middle school working toward state exams or a high school junior preparing for college entrance tests, personalized instruction helps build test-taking strategies, content mastery, and confidence—leading to stronger scores.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have subject matter expertise and experience teaching students at various levels. Many have backgrounds in education, hold relevant degrees, or have demonstrated proficiency in their subject areas. All tutors are vetted to ensure they can provide high-quality, personalized instruction aligned with New Jersey standards.
Yes, personalized tutoring is designed to be flexible. Sessions can be scheduled around your student's classes, extracurricular activities, and family commitments. Whether your student needs weekly sessions or more intensive support before an exam, Varsity Tutors works with families to find a schedule that works best for their needs.
Many students show measurable progress within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, starting skill level, and frequency of sessions. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to target specific gaps and reinforce learning in ways that classroom instruction sometimes cannot. Regular communication between the tutor and family helps track progress and adjust strategies as needed.
