Erintrude

Calculus Tutor • +35 Subjects

I'm Erintrude, a recent graduate of Kenyon College and an MFA candidate at NCSU. I have two years of experience tutoring elementary level reading and writing for two different families, and miscellaneous tutoring experience in the fields of French, English and Test Prep (SAT and ACT). As a co-founder and head editor of a publishing press at my college, for a year and a half I have run workshops where I assigned contemporary literature, and taught these pieces to deepen reader's comprehension. Currently I am teaching a class of high schoolers in a summer program offered by the publishing press. I have experience with World Literature and translation studies as well. I'm passionate about language and I'm passionate about understanding. I tailor my teaching to the student, and in that sense we grow together in an environment of patience, support, and love for learning.

Rachel

Calculus Tutor • +23 Subjects

I am currently studying English literature and secondary education at Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina. I love Game of Thrones, Warhammer, and YouTube channels about world travel and languages. I am currently learning Spanish and Arabic, and I hope to be fluent in both someday. My biggest bucket list item is to travel to Bolivia and see the Salar de Uyuni. I have had extensive experience as a tutor of all ages, from helping kindergarteners learn to read and write English to working with adult students on their term papers for college. I am available to tutor reading, writing, basic Spanish, SAT/ACT prep, algebra, geometry, and study skills. As your tutor, my goal is to provide you with the tools to catch your own mistakes rather than just correcting them myself. I want to help you grow as a learner so you can use your own strengths to master the material. Hobbies: travel, reading, music, writing, art, books

David

Statistics Tutor • +1 Subjects

I'm an archaeology PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania with extensive teaching experience at the college level. I've taught at Penn, University of the Sciences, and Methodist University in various social sciences, including anthropology, sociology, statistics, public health, and psychology. As a teacher, I'm guided by the idea that what I'm doing with students should be useful to them long-term. Making topics interesting, relevant, and accessible is of paramount importance because it allows students to hone skills that they'll use for the rest of their lives. Teaching is fun for me because I love getting to facilitate and witness my students' breakthroughs. There's nothing better than getting to that eureka moment!

Mark

Differential Equations Tutor • +3 Subjects

I have recently retired from the HiTech industry as an Engineering Executive with a Professional Engineering License practicing more than 35yrs. Additionally, my MS Mechanical Engineering Degree was focused on Structural Mechanics as a specialty. Since retirement from industry, I have been a substitute High School teacher for Math and Science along with being a Varsity Tutor. Both educational roles allow me to be a mentor by helping future STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) students grow educationally, and Engineers pass their FE & PE Exams in achieving Engineering Licensure. The FE & PE License Exam Curriculum that I have developed is highly successful with over a 90% passing rate for those students tutored.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Raleigh spans 17 school districts serving over 63,000 students across 136 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized 1-on-1 instruction. Whether your student attends a Wake County school, a charter school, or any other district in the area, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can provide targeted support aligned with their school's expectations.

Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor to understand your student's current level, learning style, and specific goals—whether that's improving grades, preparing for standardized tests, or mastering challenging concepts in core subjects. The tutor will ask questions about what's working and what isn't, then create a personalized plan to address your student's needs. Most families find that even the first session provides clarity on next steps.

Tutors working with Raleigh students are familiar with North Carolina's Standard Course of Study and the specific benchmarks students need to meet at each grade level. They can target instruction toward state assessments, help close gaps in foundational skills, and support students through challenging transitions—like moving from elementary to middle school math or tackling algebra for the first time. This localized expertise means your student gets support that directly connects to what their school expects.

Math and reading comprehension are the most common areas where Raleigh students seek support, particularly during transitions between grade levels and when preparing for standardized tests. Science and writing also see strong demand, especially as students advance into middle and high school. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across all core subjects, plus test prep for the SAT, ACT, and AP exams—helping Raleigh students build confidence in whatever area they need most.

While Raleigh schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of 13.2:1, which is solid by national standards, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring offers something classrooms can't: instruction tailored entirely to one student's pace, learning style, and goals. A tutor can spend the entire session on exactly what your student needs, adapt explanations in real time, and provide immediate feedback—rather than moving at the pace of 13+ other students. This focused attention accelerates learning and builds confidence faster than group settings typically allow.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, the tutor's expertise, and your student's specific needs—there's no one-size-fits-all price. We work with families to find options that fit their budget, whether that's weekly sessions, intensive test prep, or ongoing support. The best way to understand pricing for your situation is to connect with us directly; we're happy to discuss what's available and help you find a plan that works for your family.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and teaching experience—many hold degrees in their subject areas, teaching certifications, or both. Tutors working with Raleigh students understand the local education context and are skilled at explaining concepts in ways that click for different learners. Each tutor is carefully matched to your student based on their expertise and teaching style.

Yes. Varsity Tutors connects students in Raleigh with tutors who specialize in SAT and ACT prep, helping them understand test format, develop strategy, and build the skills to improve their scores. Whether your student is starting prep as a junior or needs intensive help before test day, tutors create personalized study plans based on practice test results and target the areas where improvement will have the biggest impact. Many students see meaningful score increases with focused, 1-on-1 preparation.
