Sean

Algebra Tutor • +10 Subjects

I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering at Kent State University. Throughout middle and high school, my access to tutors and other assistance services was limited. This in turn inhibited my learning and caused me to struggle in aspects of school that never really clicked. So I want to give others what I never got, and hopefully make learning easier to achieve. My subject of choice is math, but specifically, I tutor Middle School Math, Pre-Algebra, Geometry, Algebra, and Trigonometry.

Sam

Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a graduate from Yale University with a degree in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry. An advocate for math and science education, I have become a writer and poet concerned with aesthetic philosophy since my graduation. My passion for teaching has taken on many forms, including as a music instructor, having maintained a private cello studio and conducted after-school string orchestra programs, as a running coach for youth and high school cross country and track athletes, and as a tutor in math and chemistry. At the moment, I tutor mathematics, which I believe to be an exceptionally crucial skill to develop for any academic subject and for a more intimate appreciation for the intricacies of the world. I fervently prescribe to a teaching method that promotes a unique engagement, both between student and instructor and with the subject matter, in order to impart the very human and meaningful elements residing in the material. Outside my more scholarly pursuits, I am an avid reader, a performing musician, and an amateur distance runner.

Alireza

Academic Coaching Tutor • +37 Subjects

I have 17 years experience in teaching general English, IELTS, TOEFL, and other international exams. I obtained my MA 14 years ago and am currently a PhD student in English teaching. I love to share my knowledge with my students in a friendly, warm, and culturally comfortable atmosphere I create all through my classes. I am particularly good at teaching speaking and writing in a smooth and exciting way. My students receive step-wise instructions in writing and clear feedback on their work. For speaking, I mostly focus on what my students want English for. This, I believe, maximizes our class efficiency.

Teutianna

Elementary School Math Tutor • +9 Subjects

I am an educator with a heart for service. My background includes 8 years of Special Education experience, and 15 years of mental health experience. In the classroom and in my community I serve the overlooked, underserviced and emotionally/behaviorally challenged youth and young adults whose inabilities are likely to affect their academics in a negative way. I take pride in building lifelong relationships through compassionate engagement, exhibiting fairness, firmness and consistency while implementing my holistic approaches. I am skilled in modifying instruction, relating lessons to real world experiences and strategically challenging individuals to make connections in their learning. All of the aforementioned sets me and my skills apart and I plan on taking your unique learning and particular skills to your next levels.

Benjamin

ACT English Tutor • +14 Subjects

I'm from a small town in southeast Michigan, where I went to high school before moving to Nashville for university. I just graduated from Vanderbilt University with a Bachelor's degree in neuroscience and Russian. During my time in high school and college, I tutored in a volunteer capacity on a wide range of subjects, from English and essay editing to calculus to ACT prep. I am hoping to spend the next year traveling (I am currently living in Bucharest, Romania!) before applying to medical school. Aside from tutoring, I would be happy to commiserate with you about the stresses of applying to higher education.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Trenton's 9 school districts with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Trenton Public Schools district or one of the surrounding districts, we can match them with a tutor who understands New Jersey's curriculum standards and can provide targeted help in their specific subject areas.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly effective for helping students master New Jersey's rigorous standards. With a 13.2:1 average student-teacher ratio in Trenton schools, many students benefit from the focused attention a tutor provides to fill gaps and accelerate learning in subjects like math, English language arts, and science. Tutors can align their instruction with your student's specific curriculum and state assessment requirements.

Students in Trenton seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, with strong demand for math (algebra, geometry, and test prep), English language arts, science, and standardized test preparation like the SAT and ACT. We also connect students with tutors for AP courses, New Jersey high school exit exams, and subject-specific support to meet grade-level expectations.

The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their current strengths, challenges, learning style, and specific goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically and discuss how personalized instruction can address gaps or accelerate progress. From there, you'll work together to create a tailored plan that fits your student's needs and your family's timeline.

Many students show noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, starting point, and frequency of sessions. Research on 1-on-1 instruction shows significant gains when students receive regular, focused support. Your tutor will track progress and adjust the approach as needed to keep your student moving forward.

Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who offer flexible scheduling to fit busy school days and extracurricular activities. Whether your student needs support after school, on weekends, or during the summer, we can find a tutor who works with your family's schedule.

We match students based on their specific subject needs, learning goals, and the tutor's expertise in that area. Tutors working with Trenton students are familiar with New Jersey's academic standards and can provide instruction that directly supports what students are learning in their classrooms. We take care of the matching process so you can focus on your student's progress.

We offer flexible tutoring options at various price points to meet different family budgets. The cost depends on factors like the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We recommend starting with a conversation about your needs and budget—we can help you find a tutoring plan that works for your family while providing the quality instruction your student deserves.
