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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students across Akron's 86 schools and all 21 school districts in the area. With over 28,000 students in the Akron region, we work with learners from elementary through high school who need personalized support in core subjects, test prep, and specialized skills.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps students master Ohio's academic standards by targeting their specific gaps and learning pace. Whether your student needs support with Ohio's math progressions, ELA benchmarks, or science standards, tutors work directly with them to build mastery and confidence in areas where classroom instruction alone may not be enough.

Akron students frequently seek help with math, English/language arts, science, and standardized test preparation—subjects that are critical for high school success and college readiness. We also support students in foreign languages, social studies, and specialized courses like AP and honors classes across Akron's diverse school districts.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 14.2:1 in Akron schools, classroom teachers often have limited time for individualized attention. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by providing focused, one-on-one instruction tailored to your student's learning style and pace, which research shows significantly accelerates progress compared to classroom instruction alone.

Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor to assess your student's current level, understand their goals, and identify areas needing support. The tutor will ask about strengths, challenges, and learning preferences, then create a personalized plan that aligns with your student's school curriculum and academic needs.

Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have expertise in the subjects and grade levels your student needs. Whether it's elementary math, high school chemistry, AP Biology, or test prep for the ACT or SAT, we match students with qualified professionals who understand both the content and how to teach it effectively.

Tutoring sessions are scheduled around your family's availability—whether that's after school, weekends, or during the week. We understand that Akron families juggle school, activities, and work, so we work with you to find times that fit your schedule and your student's learning needs.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction addresses your student's specific challenges rather than generic group instruction, leading to faster progress and stronger academic confidence. For students across Akron's diverse schools and districts, this targeted approach often results in improved grades, better test scores, and a stronger foundation for future success.
