Amy

Calculus Tutor • +46 Subjects

I am greatly passionate about (writing and literature), to help this student gain confidence in her learning abilities and get to a point where, instead of being discouraged, she could actually enjoy learning. I especially loved the moments when she reached a breakthrough in her understanding of a concept and was so happy that I had been able to use my knowledge to enhance her understanding and enjoyment of a topic. I tutored through out high school and continue to tutor in college as I help other students to realize their potential and achieve their goals. Hobbies: books, music, art, nature, reading, writing

Sid

Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects

I'm Sid. I'm a freshman in Rutgers University, New Brunswick. I'm currently tutoring ACT test-taking. If you're a junior and you have to take a standardized test (like the SAT or the ACT), it can be pretty daunting. Believe me, I was in exactly the same position as you when I was a junior-- and that understanding of the situation means that I'll be able to give you a specific plan tailored towards handling these high pressure situations. And I'm confident that it'll work for you. Personally, I believe that success (whether it be small or large) is largely dependent on three factors. Planning, practice and timing (all of which falls under the umbrella of responsibility). And those are things that I target in my tutoring. So when you receive a lesson from me, you'll see that it's more than just rote section after section. It's more meaningful. Maybe you'll even learn a couple life lessons (I know I did). So take a leap of faith, and let's make that great ACT score happen.

Mackenzie

Calculus Tutor • +37 Subjects

I am a graduate of Boston College. I received my Bachelor's degree in Political Science with a minor in French; my studies primarily focused on international affairs. I am passionate about teaching areas I focused on during my four years in Boston including history, government, and French but also have an established background in writing, literature, and English. I believe it is important to identify a unique approach for every student according to their specific needs because as I have learned, each student has individual strengths and difficulties. In my spare time I sail competitively, cook up new recipes, and keep up with current events.

Jeremiah

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +33 Subjects

I am currently a Master's Degree student at Princeton Theological Seminary. I would love to help you learn whatever you need to learn. I graduated as an Honor's Fellow from Calvin College with a 3.86 GPA. I got a 35 composite on my ACT, and I definitely get how hard it can be to study for a standardized test when its crunch time. I've tutored many different students for over 5+ years, and after graduate school my goal is to continue teaching. I love helping people have those "Aha!" moments, so if you are need of a breakthrough, lets sit down and see what we can do together!

I am a Biology major who graduated from Princeton University in the summer of 2020 and am set to begin Medical School at Howard University in the summer of 2021. In the meantime I am working as a scribe and clinical assistant for an orthopedic physician. I have been tutoring for years and am comfortable teaching middle school and high school students math and science. Whether it's fine tuning skills or starting from scratch I am able to provide the improvement needed to reach your goals. Diagnostic exams followed by lessons from mistakes made is my primary method of learning and what I have found to be the most successful. Hobbies: writing, reading, music, art, books

Michelle

Geometry Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Princeton University with a Bachelors in French and a certificate in Theater. I tutored math in high school and peer-tutored fellow students in French at Princeton. I believe the best way to learn is to explore and always be curious and ask questions! When I tutor, I like to give my students tools that can help them develop strategies to learn on their own, rather than just giving them facts to memorize.

I am a big believer in the power of flashcards! I even have multiple flashcard apps on my phone. For writing or English, a computer we can type through ideas on, and internet access to resources for grammar, vocabulary, etc. For history, I might bring additional books to help a student with a particular subject. For all subjects, I like to have a white board, so we can work through examples together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students across Princeton's 19 schools and 2 school districts. Whether your student attends a public or private school in the area, we match them with tutors who understand local curricula and New Jersey academic standards. This broad reach means we're familiar with the specific expectations and pacing across Princeton's schools.

While Princeton schools maintain a solid 10.3:1 student-teacher ratio, personalized 1-on-1 instruction offers something classrooms can't—instruction tailored entirely to your student's learning style and pace. Even in well-resourced schools, individual students benefit from focused attention on their specific gaps, whether that's struggling with algebra concepts or preparing for AP exams. Tutoring complements classroom learning by providing the targeted support that helps students move from understanding to mastery.

Students in Princeton typically seek help with math (algebra, geometry, and precalculus), standardized test prep (SAT and ACT), and sciences like chemistry and biology. We also work with many students on writing and English skills, especially as they prepare for college applications. Because Princeton has strong academic expectations across both districts, students often benefit from tutoring to maintain competitive grades and test scores for college admissions.

During your first session, the tutor gets to know your student's academic background, current challenges, and learning goals. They'll assess where your student stands in their subject area and discuss what success looks like—whether that's improving a grade, mastering a specific concept, or preparing for a test. This foundation helps the tutor create a personalized plan for the sessions ahead.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand New Jersey's curriculum standards and assessment expectations. Whether your student is working toward NJSLA proficiency, preparing for AP exams, or meeting district-specific requirements, tutors tailor instruction to align with what's expected. This targeted approach helps students not just keep up, but excel within New Jersey's academic framework.

The ideal frequency depends on your student's needs and goals. Some students benefit from weekly sessions for ongoing support, while others do well with bi-weekly meetings or intensive prep during key periods like test season. During your first conversation with Varsity Tutors, we'll help you determine a schedule that fits your student's academic needs and your family's schedule.

Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of consistent test prep to see meaningful score improvements, though timelines vary based on starting point and target score. For students aiming for a significant increase, starting prep 3-4 months before test day allows time for learning strategies, practice, and refinement. Tutors create a customized prep schedule based on your student's baseline score and goals.

Simply reach out to Varsity Tutors and share your student's subject, grade level, and goals. We'll match them with a tutor experienced in that area and familiar with Princeton schools' expectations. You can start with a single session to see if it's a good fit, then adjust frequency and focus as needed based on progress.
