Rosanne

College Essays Tutor • +26 Subjects

My mission is to instill a love of learning in students by providing them with the necessary tools to succeed. I have over a decade of experience teaching in the classroom and providing tutoring in a broad range of subjects.In 2005 I graduated from New Saint Andrews College with a B.A. in Liberal Arts in Culture (Summa Cum Laude). Following this, I taught at a small high school for five years, providing instruction in many subjects, including history, literature, Latin, English composition, and SAT prep. Following this, I took a break from classroom teaching (as my husband and I decided to grow our family) and pursued individual tutoring opportunities in English composition and music instruction. I am now in my third year at a small elementary school where I oversee all curriculum and provide instruction in 3rd-6th grade math, Latin, and English composition.When I'm not teaching, I write historical fiction set during the Middle Ages and the British Regency and do copy editing for a small press that my husband and I co-own.

Daniel

ACT Math Tutor • +24 Subjects

My name is Daniel Kearney, and I'm a recent college graduate living in New York City. My entire professional career has been spent working with youth. I love working with kids of all ages.

Alphonse

Anatomy & Physiology Tutor • +9 Subjects

I started my journey while in high school, I took my first anatomy and physiology class and discovered that I wanted a career that would allow me to work with the human body. I was mostly interested in dentistry and orthodontics until I hurt my back in an offseason football workout. After I went to my Chiropractor I realized the importance of the structure of the spine and the function of the central nervous system. While in college I was named captain of our rugby team and enjoyed helping other learn and work together. I was a teacher assistant for an anatomy and physiology class during my time at Fairfield University. I continued my passion of helping others while at Palmer College of Chiropractic where I tutored the first quarter students in general anatomy where I aided them in understanding the anatomy with the use of cadavers. A short while later I was named the president of a chiropractic technique club called: Gonstead Technique. I plan on using my experience and knowledge to help others reach their goals and full potential.

Jordan

Adult Literacy Tutor • +38 Subjects

Currently, I am a first year student at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, working towards my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Although unofficial, I will most likely continue on to minor in English/Literature or Art History. My skills vary widely in terms of tutoring subjects. I am personally equipped to teach elementary school through college level courses; however, as I have a passion for literature and the arts, I specialize and do best in tutoring English, Writing, and Literature Analysis & Critique. I love to equip my students with the tools they need to succeed in and out of the classroom - there is a difference between tutoring for the test, and tutoring to expand the way a person thinks, perceives, and analyzes the world. Outside of teaching, though, I love to write and read for pleasure, as well as learn about art and art history. I also play the french horn and the trumpet!

Juan

10th Grade Math Tutor • +40 Subjects

I began working as a tutor in High School as part of the Math Club, and then continued in college in a part time position, where I helped students in College Algebra, Statistics, Calculus and Programming. After college I moved to Spain where I gave private test prep lessons to high school students and also helped friends prepare for their college entrance exams. By using my broad background in these subjects I can help students see concepts in different ways, and by enthusiastically approaching problems I can help increase the student’s interest.When I am not working or studying for Actuarial Exams, I play guitar, exercise and write computer programs.

Amanda

American Literature Tutor • +15 Subjects

I am a third-year law student at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and will be working as at attorney at a large corporate law firm when I graduate. I completed my undergraduate degree at NYU, double majoring in journalism and dramatic literature.I am passionate about education, specifically reading and writing, and believe my enthusiasm, organization and professionalism would make me an asset to your company.In law school, I was selected by a professor to be a teaching assistant for a Legal Writing course for 16 first-year students. I attended weekly classes, often providing input and co-teaching several classes. I also held weekly office hours, where I met with students individually and in small groups to help with their assignments, including working on their writing style and structure. In addition, I reviewed and edited students’ assignments, providing individualized feedback and advice.As a Constitutional Law teaching assistant, I co-taught weekly review sessions of over 75 students, where I explained and reviewed course material. I reviewed practice problems, coached students on proper study and reading strategies, and answered questions. I quickly learned best practices to keep all of the students engaged and focused, encouraging student participation and leading class discussions.I also volunteered with iMentor, providing one-on-one support to two high school freshman through online communication and in-person meetings. I provided structure and motivation, helping my mentees plan their future college and career goals, as well as study strategies and day-to-day organization. Working closely with my two mentees, I determined their individual communication and learning styles, as well as their strengths and weaknesses, and used this knowledge to tailor our sessions to best meet their needs.Finally, in high school, I tutored elementary school students in math and reading comprehension, helping with homework and assignment organization. I understand that every student has different academic, emotional and social needs and I am confident in my ability to help each student reach his or her potential.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many students can perform matrix operations mechanically without grasping why those operations work or when to apply them. Personalized tutoring bridges this gap by having tutors ask guiding questions that help you discover the underlying logic—like understanding why matrix multiplication isn't commutative, or how determinants relate to geometric transformations. A skilled tutor will help you see matrices not as grids of numbers to manipulate, but as representations of linear transformations, making the concepts stick and transfer to new problems.

Showing your work in matrix algebra does more than just earn partial credit—it reveals where conceptual gaps exist and makes it easier to catch computational errors. Personalized instruction helps you develop organized problem-solving strategies: writing out intermediate steps, clearly labeling row operations, and explaining your reasoning. This practice builds confidence and helps you debug your own work, skills that are essential for success on exams and in higher mathematics where complex problems require careful documentation.

Yes. Different courses emphasize matrix algebra differently—some lead with computational skills, others start with linear transformations, and some use applications like computer graphics or data analysis. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors experienced across various curricula and textbooks, including traditional approaches and more modern, applied-focused ones. Your tutor will align with your specific course requirements and teaching style, whether that means mastering Gaussian elimination for your linear algebra course or understanding eigenvalues for a differential equations class.

Word problems involving matrices challenge students because they require both problem interpretation and matrix skills. Personalized tutoring helps you develop a systematic approach: identifying variables, setting up the matrix structure that matches the problem's relationships, and interpreting your answer in context. Tutors can work through applications like systems of equations, network problems, or Markov chains—showing you the patterns so you recognize similar problem types and build confidence translating between words and matrices.

Matrix algebra is rich with patterns that make it more manageable once you see them. Key connections include: how row operations relate to determinants and invertibility; how eigenvalues and eigenvectors unlock the behavior of transformations; and how matrix structure (diagonal, symmetric, sparse) simplifies computation. Personalized instruction helps you notice these patterns by solving problems strategically and revisiting concepts from different angles, turning matrix algebra from a collection of isolated rules into a coherent system where ideas reinforce each other.

Math anxiety often stems from feeling lost or making repeated mistakes without understanding why. Personalized tutoring addresses this by working at your pace, celebrating small wins, and breaking complex procedures into manageable steps. Your tutor creates a judgment-free space to ask questions, correct misconceptions immediately, and build competence incrementally. As you master individual skills and see how they connect, your confidence grows—you move from "I don't get matrices" to "I understand how this works and can solve these problems."

Realistic outcomes depend on your starting point and commitment, but students typically see results in 4-8 weeks of consistent work. Common improvements include: mastering computational accuracy in row reduction and matrix operations; understanding when and why to use specific techniques; solving applied problems more confidently; and improving exam performance. Beyond grades, many students report a fundamental shift—matrix algebra becomes less intimidating and more logical, helping them succeed in follow-up courses like differential equations or linear regression in statistics.
