Pinelopi is a native Greek speaker, which gives her an intuitive grasp of pronunciation, idiomatic phrasing, and the rhythms of the language that textbook-only learners rarely develop. She teaches vocabulary and grammar by connecting new forms to how the language actually sounds and flows in conversation, making retention far more natural. Rated 5.0 by students.

A PhD in Mathematics and Computer Science might seem far from Greek, but Irene's academic career included deep engagement with Greek mathematical terminology and the logical structures that underpin the language's grammar. She treats declensions and conjugations as formal systems — similar to how proofs work in mathematics — which clicks especially well for analytically minded students tackling the language for the first time.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Greek programs in Chicago typically follow a progression starting with Ancient Greek fundamentals (alphabet, basic grammar, simple texts) in introductory courses, then advancing to Classical Greek literature, New Testament Greek, or Modern Greek depending on the school and student interest. Most Chicago high schools that offer Greek begin with foundational grammar and translation skills, gradually introducing authentic texts like Homer, Plato, or the New Testament. The curriculum emphasizes both reading comprehension and cultural context, helping students understand Greek civilization alongside language mechanics.
The Greek alphabet and writing system intimidate many students initially, but this typically becomes automatic with consistent practice. Grammar complexity—particularly the case system, verb conjugations, and aorist tense—requires systematic study and pattern recognition. Many students struggle with vocabulary retention across different forms (since Greek words change significantly based on case and tense), and translating from Greek to English while maintaining accurate meaning demands both linguistic precision and cultural awareness. Connecting abstract grammar rules to actual texts is another common challenge that personalized instruction can address effectively.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to identify your specific weak areas—whether that's mastering declensions, translating complex sentences, or building vocabulary—and focus directly on those gaps rather than moving at a class pace. A tutor can also adapt their teaching style to how you learn best, provide immediate feedback on translation work, and create targeted practice with authentic Greek texts that match your interests. This focused approach helps you move from memorization to genuine comprehension, building confidence as you tackle increasingly difficult material.
Yes. Tutors can help you build the vocabulary, grammar mastery, and translation speed required for standardized Greek exams. They can work with you on exam-specific strategies like managing time during translations, recognizing common grammatical patterns quickly, and answering comprehension questions about cultural and historical context. Practice with released exam materials and targeted review of challenging grammar topics are key parts of exam preparation, and personalized instruction ensures you're spending study time on what will actually move your score up.
Varsity Tutors connects students in Chicago with expert tutors who have strong backgrounds in Ancient Greek, Modern Greek, or both, depending on what you're studying. When you work with Varsity Tutors, you'll be matched with a tutor whose expertise aligns with your specific goals—whether that's mastering foundational grammar, preparing for an exam, or diving into classical literature. The matching process takes into account your learning style and academic level so you get personalized instruction from someone qualified to teach at your level.
Consistent, spaced practice is more effective than cramming—reviewing vocabulary and grammar concepts multiple times over weeks rather than all at once helps move Greek into long-term memory. Active translation practice (translating Greek texts, not just reading explanations) strengthens both comprehension and pattern recognition. Grouping related grammar topics together, then returning to them periodically, helps you see connections between cases, tenses, and verb forms. Reading authentic Greek texts—even short passages—regularly reinforces what you've learned and shows you how grammar actually functions in context rather than in abstract rules.
Yes. Varsity Tutors offers personalized Greek instruction that works with your schedule, so whether you're balancing Greek alongside other AP classes, extracurriculars, or work, you can find a tutor and set a meeting time that fits your life. This flexibility means you can maintain consistent study momentum without the stress of fitting rigid class schedules around your other commitments. You can also adjust the frequency and focus of sessions based on what you need—intensive help before an exam or steady weekly support throughout the school year.
