Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Clifton's 35 schools with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a school in the Clifton Public School District or Passaic County area, we match them with expert tutors who understand New Jersey's curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.
New Jersey's academic standards require strong foundational skills in math, literacy, and critical thinking. Personalized tutoring helps students master these core competencies at their own pace, which is especially valuable given Clifton's average student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1. Tutors can focus on areas where a student needs extra support without the constraints of a classroom setting.
Clifton students most frequently seek tutoring in math, English/language arts, and test preparation for standardized assessments like the SAT and ACT. Additionally, many students benefit from support in algebra, geometry, and writing skills—areas that build the foundation for success in high school and beyond. Varsity Tutors also connects students with tutors in foreign languages, sciences, and AP subjects.
The first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify specific academic needs. The tutor will assess your student's current skill level, discuss learning goals, and develop a personalized plan tailored to their strengths and areas for growth. This foundation helps ensure that subsequent sessions are focused and productive.
Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors experienced in SAT, ACT, and New Jersey state assessment preparation. Whether your student is in middle school working toward state exams or a high school junior preparing for college entrance tests, personalized instruction helps build test-taking strategies, content mastery, and confidence—leading to stronger scores.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have subject matter expertise and experience teaching students at various levels. Many have backgrounds in education, hold relevant degrees, or have demonstrated proficiency in their subject areas. All tutors are vetted to ensure they can provide high-quality, personalized instruction aligned with New Jersey standards.
Yes, personalized tutoring is designed to be flexible. Sessions can be scheduled around your student's classes, extracurricular activities, and family commitments. Whether your student needs weekly sessions or more intensive support before an exam, Varsity Tutors works with families to find a schedule that works best for their needs.
Many students show measurable progress within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, starting skill level, and frequency of sessions. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to target specific gaps and reinforce learning in ways that classroom instruction sometimes cannot. Regular communication between the tutor and family helps track progress and adjust strategies as needed.
