Caleb

Middle School Math Tutor • +33 Subjects

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and I am studying social studies with a focus on Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. I have lived my whole life until college in the incredible countries of Rwanda and Kenya (with one year in Egypt). Since education wasn't easily accessible to me through elementary school, very early on I had to learn how to love learning and teach myself. Even after many years of more formal education I haven't lost that spark and that ownership of my education yet! I love tutoring because it allows me to bring people into that same kind of ownership of their knowledge. I love tutoring all sorts of different subjects, but I have the most experience (and maybe the most love) for tutoring in calculus, French, Arabic, English as a second language, and test prep!

Taariq

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +31 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Duke University, where I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 2014. I am primarily a math tutor but I also enjoy teaching chemistry and physics. Math was always my favorite subject in high school and I continued my love of math at Duke. I have also been a middle school and high school tutor throughout my time at Duke through the Program in Education. One of my crowning achievements at Duke was winning the DT Stallings Award, which is awarded to a Duke senior who has shown sustained and dedicated service to tutoring local school children. When I am tutoring a student, I prefer a very hands-on approach. I love working out problems with my students after working through an example problem completely. By working problems out with my students, I am able to help them if and when they get stuck. I hope to convey to every student the ability to think logically and persevere when things seem difficult.

Jonathan

Pre-Calculus Tutor • +14 Subjects

I am a freshman at Vanderbilt University currently pursuing a B.S. in Biochemistry. My inquisitive nature has fostered a love for mathematics, the natural sciences, and how they interact to produce the world we experience every day. This extends to my teaching strategy, where I emphasize the importance of conceptual understanding rather than pure memorization of equations and steps. My recent experience in a wide variety of Advanced Placement courses lends me insight to recent changes in course objectives and exam formatting.

Alyssa

Arithmetic Tutor • +46 Subjects

I am currently a graduate student at Texas State University, pursuing a specialist degree in School Psychology. A major deciding factor in my career choice was the field's emphasis on helping all students do their best at school and at home, which directly applies to my approach to tutoring. I love to learn and I love helping others feel successful in their classes. I have been informally tutoring peers and my younger siblings from a young age, and continue to do so today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Burlington's 21 schools with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in the Alamance-Burlington or Graham-Orange school district, we match them with tutors who understand North Carolina's curriculum standards and can provide personalized instruction tailored to their specific needs.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is proven to accelerate learning—research shows it can improve student outcomes significantly compared to classroom instruction alone. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with North Carolina's standards and can target the specific areas where your student needs support, whether that's reading comprehension, math fundamentals, or test preparation for EOG and EOC exams.

Your first session is all about understanding your student's goals, learning style, and current academic challenges. The tutor will assess where your student stands, ask about what's working and what isn't in their classes, and develop a personalized plan for moving forward. This foundation helps ensure every subsequent session is focused and productive.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across all major subjects—math, science, English, history, foreign languages, and test prep for SAT, ACT, and AP exams. Whether your student is in elementary school working on foundational skills or a high schooler preparing for college entrance exams, we have tutors with expertise in the subjects that matter most to Burlington students.

When students fall behind in a classroom with a 15.6:1 student-teacher ratio, personalized tutoring can make a real difference by providing one-on-one attention and customized instruction. A tutor can identify the specific gaps in understanding, break down difficult concepts, and work at your student's pace—something that's difficult for teachers to do in a larger classroom setting.

Getting started is straightforward: tell us about your student's needs and goals, and we'll match them with a tutor who's a good fit. You'll schedule your first session, and from there, you can adjust the frequency and focus based on how things are going. Most families start with one or two sessions per week and adjust as needed.

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who specialize in test prep for SAT, ACT, AP exams, and North Carolina's EOG/EOC assessments. Whether your student is in middle school preparing for high school readiness tests or a junior getting ready for college entrance exams, personalized test prep can help them build confidence and improve their scores.

Absolutely. Varsity Tutors works with families to find tutoring times that fit your student's schedule—whether that's after school, weekends, or during the week. Personalized instruction means we can adapt to what works best for your family, not the other way around.
