Arjun

English Language Arts Substitute Tutor • +18 Subjects

I received a BA in Philosophy from Boston University and a JD from Columbia Law School. After my sophomore year at College I taught a history class in India. While studying for the LSAT I gave my friends informal tutoring sessions. I have tutored all multiple choice sections of the LSAT formally since July 2015.The LSAT does not require a great deal of memorization. It requires a solid understanding of a few basic principles of interpretation and reasoning. It also requires good methods for representing and applying those principles. I can help you solidify your understanding of those principles and hone your methods.During sessions, I usually take an official test question as a point of departure. I stress the ways in which the question reflects general themes and the ways in which the methods used to solve the question can be applied to other questions. It is important to recognize patterns readily but to work out the solution with patience and caution.My primary hobby is classical music. I taught myself to play the piano and to analyze musical scores. I also like to read about philosophy, science and history. When I am too tired to do anything demanding, I like to watch TV shows: 'The Wire' 'Better Call Saul' and 'The Sopranos' are my favorite dramas. 'Veep' 'The Office' and 'Seinfeld' my favorite comedies.

AP US History Tutor • +35 Subjects

I am thrilled to bring my successful experience as an educator, vast subject knowledge and passion for teaching to Varsity Tutors. I possess a Master's Degree in Education from Hofstra University as well as an Advanced Certification in School Leadership from SUNY Stony Brook. In addition my professional credentials include New York State teaching certification in Social Studies (7-9), NYS School Building Leadership and NYS School District Leadership. I have taught social studies for ten years including courses in American History and Government (Regents), AP USH and Civics.I went into teaching because I wanted to change the world. I know this sounds overly idealistic but I have managed to realize this mission. You see changing the world is not the monumental task it seems. What I have found is that when I help one student to learn than I have changed the world. When this learning enables my student to take another step towards realizing their potential than I have changed the world. As an educator this has always been my mission and I am pleased to continue it with Varsity Tutors.

John

Algebra Tutor • +6 Subjects

I received my degree in Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University at IUPUI in Indianapolis. I have worked countless hours with classmates and friends tutoring them to prepare for exams and class projects. I currently tutor pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. I love tutoring Trigonometry best because trig comes up countless times in engineering and it is now somewhat dear to my heart; however, Algebra is just as important since it is the building block towards something greater. My tutoring philosophy is that learning should be fun. The more you know, the stronger you are as a person. Learning shouldn't be a tedious exercise but an empowering tool. When I tutor, I attempt to inspire, to show the big picture and why this stuff matters by using real world examples that students can relate to. Education aside, I'm sure we have a lot in common. I'm a pretty normal guy who enjoys his down time. I like sci-fi movies and books, video games, biking, and hanging out with my friends. I think school and academics are very important; however, having fun and knowing who you are are just as crucial.

Emma

ACT Math Tutor • +20 Subjects

Hello! My name is Emma and I'm 23 years old. My tutoring experience began in high school when I tutored elementary, middle, and high school-aged students in math, Spanish, and language arts. In math specifically, I've tutored students in pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, and have experience working with students who have fear and/or low self-confidence in math. During college, in addition to completing a math minor, I tutored undergraduate and graduate students in statistics. I've also worked as a college instructor, and am familiar with learning processes. If needed, I can provide a reference from a family I've helped to tutor.Outside of my tutoring experience, I have a goal to run a 5K in every state in the U.S. with my mom! We have checked off 27 states so far! I also enjoy knitting, cooking, and reading!I'd love to be considered to tutor for you! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about me or my experience!

Frequently Asked Questions

Most 10th graders hit a wall with subjunctive mood conjugations, which require understanding when to use subjunctive versus indicative—a concept that doesn't exist in English. Preterite versus imperfect tense distinction is another major challenge, since students must decide whether an action was completed or ongoing in the past. Beyond grammar, vocabulary retention for thematic units (family relationships, daily routines, cultural traditions) often plateaus without active retrieval practice. Speaking fluency lags furthest behind, since classroom environments rarely provide sustained conversation time to build confidence with natural speech patterns and spontaneous responses.

In a typical classroom, students might speak Spanish for a few minutes per class period. With personalized tutoring, you get sustained conversation practice tailored to your actual proficiency level—a tutor can adjust difficulty in real-time, model natural pronunciation, and correct accent issues without embarrassment. Tutors also teach you how to handle real conversational situations: asking for clarification, expressing opinions on cultural topics, and recovering from mistakes mid-conversation. This consistent speaking practice is essential for building the fluency and confidence that standardized assessments and AP Spanish courses require.

Rather than memorizing subjunctive trigger phrases, effective tutors teach the underlying logic: subjunctive expresses doubt, desire, emotion, or hypothetical situations—concepts students can recognize and apply. A tutor will start with high-frequency triggers (espero que, es importante que, dudo que) in meaningful contexts before moving to less common uses. Pattern recognition through repeated exposure and practice testing—not rule memorization—helps subjunctive become intuitive. Many students benefit from seeing subjunctive in authentic Spanish media (films, songs, news) alongside structured practice to understand how native speakers actually use it.

The key distinction is purpose: preterite tells what happened (completed action with a clear endpoint), while imperfect sets the scene or describes what was happening (ongoing, habitual, or background action). Tutors teach this through narrative-building exercises—students describe a story's background in imperfect, then shift to preterite for specific events. Anchor phrases help: 'Mientras' (while) signals imperfect, while 'De repente' (suddenly) signals a preterite shift. Spaced repetition with varied contexts—not isolated conjugation drills—helps students internalize when to choose each tense naturally rather than overthinking it.

Passive exposure to vocabulary lists doesn't stick. Effective tutoring uses retrieval practice: tutors quiz you on vocabulary in context, ask you to use new words in sentences about your own life, and revisit words across multiple lessons with increasing difficulty. Grouping related words (family members, house rooms, daily activities) and connecting them to cultural context—like discussing how family structures differ across Spanish-speaking countries—makes vocabulary more memorable. Spaced repetition across weeks, not cramming before tests, ensures long-term retention that transfers to speaking and writing.

Language and culture are inseparable—understanding why Spaniards use 'vosotros' or how Mexican Spanish differs from Argentine Spanish gives grammar rules meaning beyond mechanical application. Tutors weave in cultural content: discussing family traditions, holidays, literature, and regional differences helps students grasp why certain expressions exist and when to use them appropriately. This approach also deepens engagement; students learn Spanish faster when they're curious about the cultures behind it. Exposure to authentic media—films, podcasts, news—alongside grammar instruction creates the immersion-style learning environment that accelerates both comprehension and speaking confidence.

Beyond fluency, excellent tutors understand the specific cognitive hurdles 10th graders face—they can explain subjunctive logic clearly, diagnose whether a student's accent issues stem from pronunciation or listening comprehension, and recognize when a student needs to slow down versus push forward. They're skilled at conversation management: knowing how to prompt students to speak more, correct errors constructively without interrupting flow, and adapt explanations when something isn't clicking. Strong tutors also stay current with how Spanish varies across regions and use authentic, age-appropriate materials that keep 10th graders engaged rather than relying on outdated textbook examples.

A student just starting to build conversational skills needs tutors who slow down, model pronunciation carefully, and celebrate small wins in speaking. A student already comfortable with present tense but struggling with past tenses needs targeted grammar instruction and narrative-building exercises. Advanced students aiming for AP-level work need exposure to complex subjunctive uses, literary analysis, and nuanced cultural discussions. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who assess your exact level—not your grade—and customize instruction accordingly, whether you're catching up, keeping pace, or accelerating toward advanced proficiency.
