Jeffrey
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Newark has 20 school districts serving over 59,000 students across 93 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized instruction. Whether your student attends a Newark Public School, a charter school, or a private institution, we match them with tutors who understand the specific curriculum and standards they're working with.
Newark's average student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1 means many students don't get the individualized attention they need to master challenging concepts. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills that gap by allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning pace, learning style, and specific areas of struggle—something that's difficult in a traditional classroom setting.
Tutors connected through Varsity Tutors are familiar with New Jersey's learning standards and assessment expectations, including the New Jersey Student Learning Standards (NJSLS) across subjects like math, ELA, science, and social studies. They tailor instruction to ensure students build the skills and knowledge required for grade-level success and standardized assessments.
Students for students in Newark seek help across a wide range of subjects, with math and English language arts being the most common. We also connect students with tutors for science, social studies, test prep (including SAT and ACT), and language learning. The specific needs vary by grade level and individual student goals.
The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their learning style, current strengths, challenges, and goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically and discuss a personalized plan for moving forward. This foundation helps ensure that every session that follows is targeted and effective.
Start by telling us about your student's needs and goals. Varsity Tutors will match them with an expert tutor who fits their learning style and academic focus. Once matched, you'll schedule your first session and begin personalized instruction tailored to your student's pace and goals.
Absolutely. Whether your student is struggling with fractions in elementary math, algebra in middle school, or complex essay writing in high school, personalized tutoring targets those specific gaps. Tutors break down difficult concepts into manageable pieces and use practice and feedback to build real understanding—not just test-taking tricks.
Varsity Tutors works with students on all kinds of goals—raising grades, preparing for the SAT or ACT, getting ready for AP exams, mastering a challenging subject, or accelerating ahead of grade level. Tutors create a customized plan based on your student's specific objective and timeline, making sure instruction stays focused and measurable.
