Marc

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +33 Subjects

I am in New York City studying acting, and I want to bring the same energy, enthusiasm and compassion that is required on stage to my students. I have experience tutoring for the SATs, and I have had significant experience serving as a mentor to younger students, particularly in the university setting. I love coaching and helping students discover their intellectual passions. Most importantly, I am thrilled by the prospect of helping a student set concrete goals and progress towards actualizing them in an academic realm. But above all I want to work with students to help them develop strategies that are personally effective and furthermore that link their passions with their education.

Samuel

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Krupa

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +31 Subjects

I'm a start-up consultant. I've always enjoyed teaching, however, that's why I like tutoring. I've a teaching assistant many times over, both in undergrad and grad school. I've also been a private tutor since high school. My goal is help you achieve, if not exceed your own. I believe in using a student's background and interests to help them understand concepts they may not grasp upon first review. I'm always available as a resource online when there in person. I really do enjoy tutoring, and I can't wait to be yours. Hobbies: reading, music, painting, art, books, writing

Czarina

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +31 Subjects

I'm Czarina Alfonso, a junior at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. In high school, I was a honors student with membership in the National Honor Society, Science Honor Society and Math Honor Society. I was also a member of my school's Diversity Council and president of the medical club. Since I'm currently a chemistry major/premed student, I have lots of experience with STEM related courses (AP Chem, AP Bio, AP Calculus, AP Statistics). I've also taken both AP English Language and Composition and AP English Literature. In addition to my AP course load in high school, I also studied for multiple SAT subject tests (Bio 790, Math 2 770, Chem 770) and the SAT (770M, 770ERW). Outside of academics, I did lots of volunteer work (founded nonprofit called Give It a Shot that raises money to provide pneumonia vaccines to daycare aged children in the Philippines, worked at local hospital, peer tutored at school) and played a sport (fencing) at a national level. I have lots of experience tutoring students and sharing some of my time management/organizational strategies. I look forward to working with you! Hobbies: books, music, baking, art, reading, writing

Amy

Calculus Tutor • +46 Subjects

I am greatly passionate about (writing and literature), to help this student gain confidence in her learning abilities and get to a point where, instead of being discouraged, she could actually enjoy learning. I especially loved the moments when she reached a breakthrough in her understanding of a concept and was so happy that I had been able to use my knowledge to enhance her understanding and enjoyment of a topic. I tutored through out high school and continue to tutor in college as I help other students to realize their potential and achieve their goals. Hobbies: books, music, art, nature, reading, writing

Samica

College Algebra Tutor • +27 Subjects

I am a junior at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania studying Economics, Finance, and Business Analytics. For the last few years, I have been helping students with college application and test prep help, such as college essays, common app, and SAT/Subject SATs. I came from a high school where these resources for college and SAT prep were not as readily available, so I want to work towards making college more accessible by helping students with their application. Past students of mine have gotten into NYU, UMich, and Georgetown. Hobbies: art, travel, books, reading, writing, traveling, music, dancing, running

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Paterson has 7 school districts serving over 26,000 students across 51 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a Paterson Public School or a charter school in the area, tutors can support their specific curriculum and academic goals.

Tutors work with students to master New Jersey's core standards in math, English language arts, science, and social studies. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, students get targeted support on the concepts they find challenging, which helps them build confidence and perform better on state assessments and in the classroom.

Students in Paterson frequently seek help with algebra, geometry, reading comprehension, writing, and standardized test prep. Many also benefit from tutoring in elementary math foundations and English language support, especially as they transition between grade levels.

The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their learning style, current academic strengths, and areas where they need support. The tutor will assess where your student stands and work together to set realistic, achievable goals for the tutoring relationship.

Paterson's average student-teacher ratio is 13.5:1, which means classroom teachers are managing many students at once. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring allows a tutor to focus entirely on your student's individual needs, pace, and learning style—adapting instruction in real time rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Varsity Tutors offers flexible scheduling and package options to fit different budgets and academic needs. Contact us to discuss what works best for your student and family.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong backgrounds in their subject areas and experience working with students at various levels. Tutors are carefully matched to each student based on teaching style, expertise, and the student's specific academic needs.

Simply reach out to Varsity Tutors with information about your student's grade level, subject needs, and goals. We'll match your student with a tutor who's a great fit, and you can begin personalized instruction on a schedule that works for your family.
