Evangeline
College English Tutor • +11 Subjects
I am a 2012 graduate of The Pennsylvania State University. During my time at Penn State, I studied Secondary Education with a concentration in English and Communications. This focus allowed me to study literature, intensive writing, theatre, journalism, and other topics. As part of my program, I was able to travel to London for a summer abroad, learning from the works of Shakespeare and Virginia Woolf. I am currently enrolled in graduate school at The University of Pittsburgh to receive a graduate degree in Education and a certification as a teacher of the blind and visually impaired. Since my graduation from Penn State, I have worked as an English teacher where I instruct high school aged students in British literature, American literature, public speaking, career skills, braille, and functional academics. In this position, I have discovered a passion for providing high interest materials to students to help increase reading and writing skills. I am an avid reader and I love helping students build upon their reading skills so that they can make meaningful connections to written materials, develop a love for literature, and most importantly, develop the skills to be successful in school and in the work place. Every day, I work with students to build upon skills that help support independence in the writing process, from brainstorming and creating an outline, to editing and polishing a final draft. My approach to teaching and learning is to make instruction clear, effective, and to have a bit of fun in the process. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my large family, rollerblading, spending time outdoors, and cooking.
Ivonne
1st Grade ELA (in Spanish) Tutor • +15 Subjects
Hi, my name is Ms. I. Marrero. I am from San Juan, Puerto Rico. I graduated with a Master's degree in education in Spanish. I have been teaching Spanish as a foreign language for thirty years. I am a very flexible teacher, ensuring every student's learning style and abilities are addressed. I like teaching conversational Spanish, vocabulary, grammar, and writing at all levels. I enjoy giving classes with daily everyday topics or the basics needed. The best way to learn a foreign language is with a native teacher without an accent and who knows and practices an up-to-date language. What I most enjoy about being a teacher is when the students understand and use the Spanish learned in the "real world." So, you will speak Spanish as well as you will learn how to carry out a conversation.!Hasta pronto!

American Literature Tutor • +13 Subjects
First and foremost, I love being a teacher. In fact, I loved to play school when I was a kid. (Yes, that was many years ago.) I could not imagine myself being anything but a teacher.I graduated from a small Christian College. Southern Wesleyan University in 1985. In 1991, I received my M.Ed. from The Citadel.However, I am a lifelong learner. I am constantly growing and improving myself.You guessed it. I have been teaching for many years. I have spent the last 25 years teaching special education in an inner city school district.Through the years, I have taught Freshman Literature as well as Sophomore and Junior Literature.I have taught everything from Shakespeare, The Crucible, and Two Trains Running by the late August Wilson.I have taught all the major essays such as narrative, descriptive, and persuasive essays. When I analyze your essay, I take both a holistic and a line by line approach.Currently, I am teaching a reading program that incorporates all these different approaches to writing.Needless to say, my favorite subjects to tutor are writing and literature.I am a hands-on teacher. I am going to take where you are in your skill and move you forward. I have a very positive approach to teaching. Of course, as a special education teacher, I often take a different approach to teaching. My approach is individualized to your particular needs.During my free-time, I enjoy creative writing. Reading. Spending time with my friends and family.Salsa dance lessons.
Cara
Biology Tutor • +21 Subjects
I started out tutoring my peers while I attended college at Texas State University, where I graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology. When I was not studying, my time was consumed by many activities including my job as a medical scribe in the emergency department of Seton Hays Hospital and my membership with my sorority, Alpha Delta Pi. I volunteered on weekends through the Ronald McDonald House Charities and San Marcos's local Senior Citizens Home.After college, I decided to continue my education and pursue a medical degree. I am currently enrolled in the Medical Sciences program at the University of North Texas Health Science Center's Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. While I await decisions from medical schools, my time consists of working out, running outside, eating mac & cheese, and now tutoring those who were once in my shoes.I want to provide those in need with the skills to become the best versions of themselves through the arms of education. Whatever the goal may be, your success will not be measured by how many times you fail, but by whether you decide to stop trying. If you never stop trying, then you will succeed.

Terrence
Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +18 Subjects
I graduated from the University of Southern California in May of 2014 with a B.A. in Biology and a B.S. in Health Promotion. Since graduation, I have been applying to medical schools with the intention of becoming a student starting Fall of 2015. Over the last four years, I have worked in educational programs for middle school kids and have privately tutored students at USC in Introductory Biology. I can tutor math and science subjects of all levels for students from 4th-12th grade as well as the SAT. Biology and History are my favorite and strongest subjects as I enjoy the memorizing and understanding of large amounts of information. I enjoy helping students find a solid, consistent method of learning material through the repetition of problems approached in different ways to gain a better understanding of topics. The promotion of preventive health is my passion and I love to integrate my love for health and science in my teaching. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, running, reading books and watching movies.

Carmela
Algebra Tutor • +19 Subjects
I've been a data fanatic from an early age my high school Math League won state competitions (so you can say I'm a Mathlete!). I have also been known to associate street patterns to functions and derive equations to pass time. More importantly, I've worked as a math tutor while in high school and while working towards my BA in Mathematics at the College of Saint Elizabeth. I earned my Master in Public Administration (MPA) from New York University and have worked for the past 10 years in non-profits and city government. In addition, I taught statistics as an adjunct mathematics professor at the college level.I find so much joy in helping students find their love for math. When I served as a professor, nearly all of my undergraduate students were taking the course to complete their minimum mathematics requirement. Most of them had a self-prescribed phobia of math. By the end of the course, they were able to calculate standard deviations, perform regressions and understand the meaning of correlation.In addition, as a policy analyst and project manager, I understand the value of removing the stigma behind data and its usefulness for those who don't have the same love for numbers as I do. I've been able to perform complex data analysis and interpret the findings for colleagues and senior leadership to inform their policy decisions and improve program operations.In my free time, I enjoy travel, running, yoga, and rock climbing.
Megan
Algebra Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am a first-year student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Harvey Mudd College. Throughout all four years of high school, I tutored my peers in subjects such as chemistry, algebra, geometry, calculus, and statistics. Passionate about sharing my learning with younger students in the community, I was also a primary instructor for the Kumon Math and Reading Center, where I spent three years teaching math and reading to students who ranged from pre-K to 12th grade. Additionally, as an assistant instructor for the Arizona Science Center's Camp Innovation, I empowered youth by delivering science programming to children between the ages of four and seven. Through such experiences, I've realized the impact that I can have as a tutor.In addition to helping students understand their classwork and improve their grades, I have the opportunity to build positive relationships, bring motivation to those in need of it, and most importantly, help others succeed after recognizing their potential. Although I tutor a wide range of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor are those related to math and science because I believe in the importance of building STEM literacy.In my free time, I enjoy hiking, drawing, playing my viola, listening to music, and traveling.
Danelle
College English Tutor • +33 Subjects
I am currently a Kindergarten teacher in an inclusion classroom. I have been teaching for 3 years in a public school district. I hold a M.E.D. in Early Childhood Special Education and B.S. in Early Childhood Education. I have experience working with a wide range of learners. I feel that using student's interests can really bring learning to life. Students are much more engaged when they are interested in what they are learning. Outside of the classroom; I love to dance (tap, ballet, jazz), watch New England Sports, go to concerts, and explore new places! I look forward to meeting you and opening your student's eyes to the wide world of learning!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Albany is home to 13 school districts serving over 17,000 students across 51 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in the Albany City School District, Bethlehem, Guilderland, or another local district, we match them with tutors who understand New York's curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.
New York has rigorous academic standards across math, English language arts, science, and social studies, and tutors work directly with students to build mastery in these areas. Whether preparing for Regents exams, state assessments, or strengthening foundational skills, personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus on exactly where each student needs support—something that's harder to achieve in classrooms with the district average of 14.7 students per teacher.
Albany students commonly seek help with math (especially algebra, geometry, and regents prep), English language arts and writing, chemistry and biology, and test preparation for the SAT and ACT. We also work with students on study skills, organization, and confidence-building—especially important as they progress through New York's increasingly rigorous coursework in middle and high school.
The first session is a get-to-know-you meeting where the tutor learns about your student's academic history, current challenges, learning style, and goals. They'll assess where your student stands, discuss what success looks like, and create a personalized plan together. This foundation ensures every session that follows is focused and productive.
Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions—we work with families to find an arrangement that fits their budget and schedule. Many Albany families find that personalized tutoring prevents the need for more expensive interventions later, and the focused 1-on-1 approach means faster progress compared to group settings.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have deep subject expertise and proven teaching experience. Tutors are carefully selected and vetted, and many have backgrounds in education, advanced degrees in their subject areas, or years of professional experience. Each tutor is matched to your student based on their specific needs and learning goals.
Absolutely. Regents exams are a key part of New York's education system, and tutors specialize in helping students master the content and test-taking strategies needed to succeed. Whether your student is preparing for Regents in math, English, science, or social studies, personalized instruction allows tutors to focus on the specific topics and question types where they need the most support.
Simply reach out to Varsity Tutors with information about your student's grade level, subject, and goals. We'll match them with a qualified tutor, schedule an initial session, and get started. Most families see the benefit of tutoring quickly—especially when the tutor is focused entirely on their student's needs rather than managing a classroom of 15 or more.
