Bethany

Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley and Duke University. I received my Bachelor's degree in History and my Master's degree in Religious Studies. Since graduation I have tutored students in American History and Biblical Hebrew, which were exceedingly rewarding experiences. I am especially passionate in helping students learn to think critically, and enjoy the process of learning. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am most enthusiastic about tutoring in History and Writing because these subjects utilize skills that students will use and cultivate throughout their lives and are applicable for many careers. I would describe my teaching philosophy as hands on and project-based learning. I strive to include fun and relevant videos, songs, and activities into my curriculum to ensure the engagement of my students. Outside of academia I like painting, baking, hiking, photography, and having game nights with friends.

I am a rising senior at Duke University. I major in Computer Science and am also getting a minor in Physics. I have had experience tutoring/teaching as a teaching assistant for three classes: Intro to Databases, Electricity and Magnetism (for engineers), and Computer Network Architecture. I have had industry experience in software development as an intern for IBM and a cybersecurity analyst for TIAA. Outside of school/work, I play the piano and train with the Duke Taekwondo Club. I have a strong background in computer science, physics, and math, but I love learning about and helping students with a wide variety of 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!

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.

Tutors work with students to master North Carolina Standard Course of Study objectives in core subjects like math, English language arts, science, and social studies. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify specific gaps and build skills aligned with NC benchmarks, whether students are preparing for end-of-grade assessments or working toward grade-level proficiency.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 13.6:1 in Wilmington classrooms, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills an important gap by providing individualized attention tailored to each student's learning style and pace. This targeted support helps students catch up on missed concepts, deepen understanding, and build confidence in areas where they need extra help.

The first session is a chance for the tutor and student to build rapport and identify learning goals. The tutor will assess your student's current level, discuss any specific challenges or areas of focus, and create a personalized plan moving forward. This foundation helps ensure that subsequent sessions are productive and aligned with your student's needs.

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have expertise across a wide range of subjects and levels, from foundational elementary skills to advanced high school courses like AP classes, honors courses, and specialized electives.

Results vary by student, but personalized 1-on-1 instruction has been shown to significantly boost academic performance, confidence, and understanding of challenging material.
