I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old e...

Bryce
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects

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!
Tammy

I'm graduating from medical school at Duke University this summer and finally have quite a bit of flexible time to tutor, something I really enjoyed doing all throughout college. Hobbies: reading, cooking, music, art, books, writing
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.

I am also a graduate of Yale University (class of 2019), where I received my Master of Arts in Religious Studies with a focus on ancient history. Since graduation, I have worked in the computer software space and as a tutor for over 6 years (both in person and virtually). I have tutoring experience with all grade levels, including undergraduates, in subjects ranging from english and essay writing to ACT/SAT test prep. I love working with students of all ages and personalizing my teaching style to create the most positive and productive learning environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Gastonia's 29 schools and all three school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in Gaston County Schools, Gastonia City Schools, or another district in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can provide targeted support.
Tutors working with Gastonia students are familiar with North Carolina's Standard Course of Study and can help students master grade-level expectations in math, English language arts, science, and social studies. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify specific gaps and build skills at a pace that works for each student, which is especially valuable given Gastonia's average student-teacher ratio of 15.9:1 in classroom settings.
Gastonia students frequently seek help with algebra, geometry, and other high school math courses, as well as reading comprehension and writing skills. We also work with students preparing for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, and those needing support in science courses like biology and chemistry. The specific needs vary by grade level, so tutors tailor their approach to each student's academic goals.
The first session is a get-to-know-you meeting where the tutor learns about your student's academic strengths, challenges, and goals. They'll review recent schoolwork, discuss what your student is studying in their Gastonia school classes, and create a personalized plan for ongoing support. This foundation helps the tutor deliver instruction that directly supports what your student is learning in class.
Absolutely. Research on 1-on-1 instruction shows it's one of the most effective ways to help students catch up and build confidence. Tutors work with Gastonia students to fill specific knowledge gaps, reinforce classroom concepts, and develop stronger study habits—all at a pace that allows the student to truly master the material rather than just keep up.
Yes, tutoring isn't just for students who are struggling. Advanced Gastonia students benefit from personalized instruction that challenges them to go deeper into subjects they're passionate about, prepare for advanced placement (AP) or honors courses, or explore topics beyond the standard curriculum. Tutors can accelerate learning and help gifted students stay engaged.
Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions you choose. Many Gastonia families start with one or two sessions per week and adjust based on their student's progress and upcoming academic milestones. We can discuss what works best for your budget and your student's needs when you connect with us.
Simply reach out to let us know your student's grade level, subject, and goals. We'll match them with a tutor who fits their needs and schedule. Most Gastonia families are able to connect with a tutor quickly and can begin personalized instruction within days.
