Who needs tutoring?
What prompted you to seek tutoring?

I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Varsity Tutors really helped me understand the concepts during my Calculus 2 class. My tutor has such amazing patience and is open to many questions! Lastly, was always on time and very prompt. Highly suggest Varsity Tutors.

Alexander

Certified Tutor

Hi! I'm a sophomore at Columbia University, living in Morningside Heights.

I've got six years of teaching/tutoring experience, working with kids K-12. I've mostly helped students with mathematics (middle-school level through SAT prep), computer science (introductory web development and object-oriented programming), and English-Language Arts (reading comprehension with students grades 1-4).

I've worked in environments ranging from a charter school in the South Bronx to a prep school in Connecticut.

In mathematics in particular I have strong experience working with students who have learning disabilities.

I'm near-fluent in German and Spanish, have a year of Chinese under my belt, and have introductory familiarity with Turkish, Korean, French, Italian, and Japanese. If you ever need a conversation practice partner for German/Spanish, let me know!

Talking again about math, I have the most experience teaching Pre-Algebra through Algebra II, but I'm more than comfortable working with students in all levels through college Calculus II/high school BC Calculus.

I'd love to work with you! Feel free to reach out.
