Czarina

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +31 Subjects

I'm Czarina Alfonso, a junior at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. In high school, I was a honors student with membership in the National Honor Society, Science Honor Society and Math Honor Society. I was also a member of my school's Diversity Council and president of the medical club. Since I'm currently a chemistry major/premed student, I have lots of experience with STEM related courses (AP Chem, AP Bio, AP Calculus, AP Statistics). I've also taken both AP English Language and Composition and AP English Literature. In addition to my AP course load in high school, I also studied for multiple SAT subject tests (Bio 790, Math 2 770, Chem 770) and the SAT (770M, 770ERW). Outside of academics, I did lots of volunteer work (founded nonprofit called Give It a Shot that raises money to provide pneumonia vaccines to daycare aged children in the Philippines, worked at local hospital, peer tutored at school) and played a sport (fencing) at a national level. I have lots of experience tutoring students and sharing some of my time management/organizational strategies. I look forward to working with you! Hobbies: books, music, baking, art, reading, writing

Sabrina

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +27 Subjects

I am a third year electrical engineering student at Princeton University, with a focus in applied physics, and minors in German studies and history. I want to tutor because I am always excited about learning new things, and I want to share this with students of all ages. I find that this way, a student can do difficult work, excel, and feel both accomplished and happy. I have a broad range of specialties, from physics, to programming in Java and C, to German, to test prep and college applications help. I also love workshopping all kinds of writing, whether personal or academic. Some of my qualifications include physics research at a Max Planck Institute and acceptances to Harvard and UC Berkeley. I have experience teaching environmental science to children at a botanical garden and volunteering as a reading tutor for elementary schoolers behind grade level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Paterson has 7 school districts serving over 26,000 students across 51 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a Paterson Public School or a charter school in the area, tutors can support their specific curriculum and academic goals.

Tutors work with students to master New Jersey's core standards in math, English language arts, science, and social studies. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, students get targeted support on the concepts they find challenging, which helps them build confidence and perform better on state assessments and in the classroom.

Students in Paterson frequently seek help with algebra, geometry, reading comprehension, writing, and standardized test prep. Many also benefit from tutoring in elementary math foundations and English language support, especially as they transition between grade levels.

The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their learning style, current academic strengths, and areas where they need support. The tutor will assess where your student stands and work together to set realistic, achievable goals for the tutoring relationship.

Paterson's average student-teacher ratio is 13.5:1, which means classroom teachers are managing many students at once. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring allows a tutor to focus entirely on your student's individual needs, pace, and learning style—adapting instruction in real time rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Varsity Tutors offers flexible scheduling and package options to fit different budgets and academic needs. Contact us to discuss what works best for your student and family.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong backgrounds in their subject areas and experience working with students at various levels. Tutors are carefully matched to each student based on teaching style, expertise, and the student's specific academic needs.

Simply reach out to Varsity Tutors with information about your student's grade level, subject needs, and goals. We'll match your student with a tutor who's a great fit, and you can begin personalized instruction on a schedule that works for your family.
