NCLEX Tutor • +4 Subjects
I have been a licensed nurse for 9 years and a registered nurse for 2 years. I graduated in May of 2020 from Delaware County Community College. I currently work as a transplant case manager, and am back in school to obtain my BSN by way of Chamberlain University. As a former and current student, I am well versed in NCLEX , NCLEX prep, test taking skills, building good study habits and how to stay organized. I have taken the NCLEX twice , once for my LPN and once for my RN. I passed both tests on the first attempt.

I am most passionate about teaching study tools, habits and organization to pass the NCLEX. Let me help you on your journey in pursuing all your goals.
Alex
Business Tutor • +8 Subjects
I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, and went to high school at Montgomery Bell Academy. I completed my Bachelor of Business Administration dual major degree at University of Georgia in the International Business and Finance with a minor in Spanish in May 2015. As evidenced by my majors, I have a passion for international business, having experienced the geo-political and economic landscape via overseas educational opportunities. This unique perspective has broadened my academic horizons and personal development to areas far outside the classroom, equipping me with valuable skills in today’s increasingly global environment.My international interests and travels have instilled the ability to learn and adapt quickly, as well as apply knowledge and language skills effectively and efficiently. In addition to the completion of my Spanish minor, an educational trip to Costa Rica and summer classes in Spain have provided me with communication skills and a thorough understanding of different cultures.My qualified experience includes an internship with a premier real estate fund manager that has proved crucial to my development in areas of finance, and business organizations, organizational delegation and personal responsibility. Additionally, my internship with US Congressman Jim Cooper greatly expanded my knowledge and perspective of current affairs both domestic and abroad, and how they affect our national policies. Finally, 80 hours of tutoring experience in many different subjects at the Boys and Girls Club in Athens, GA has sparked my interest in motivating, teaching, and mentoring students from 8-18 years old.I am confident that my academic experiences and qualifications in Finance, Spanish and International Business have provided me with a unique opportunity and skill-set that I can pass on to others in a way that is easy to understand for students of all ages.

James Spencer
10th Grade Math Tutor • +35 Subjects
I love math and I love science. Math and science are two areas of study that I take pride in knowing. They are the study of the world around us and how it works to the most minute detail. That fascinates me. So much so that I achieved a Bachelor of Science Degree in chemistry. It is my goal to put this same kind of passion, drive and excitement in all those around me. I hope that I will one day nerd out on math and science with all my students!
Sharmaine
Algebra Tutor • +5 Subjects
I graduated from California State University, Dominguez Hills with a Bachelor's in Mathematics and Pepperdine University with a Master's in Education.I currently teach high school math and I have tutored students throughout the school year.I mainly tutor students in Algebra 1 and Geometry. However, my favorite subject to tutor is Algebra 1 because I find that this is the subject that students usually have a harder time with.I try my best to teach students step by step on how to solve problems. I break it down so they can have a better understanding of the concepts.Outside of tutoring, I like to run and exercise. I like to go shopping and enjoy spending time with my friends and family.
Jessica
Algebra Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a second year student at the University of Texas at Austin majoring in neuroscience, with minors in computer science and creative writing. I am on the pre-med track, with hopes of working internationally with nonprofits as a doctor. I am involved in tutoring programs such as Students Expanding Austin Literacy and The Education Project, the first of which is in person tutoring and the latter being online instruction. I love working on a wide variety of tutoring subjects, but specifically the sciences and english subjects. I find that it's very important to help students deeply understand questions in a way that works for them best! I believe that learning for learning's sake will help anyone get where they want to go in life.
Ingrid
ACT Writing Tutor • +48 Subjects
As a QuestBridge Scholar and an undergraduate biomedical engineering student at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, I am exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the first-generation and low-income student community as the Outreach Chair of the Quest+ Scholars Network, and getting involved with the Society of Women Engineers' outreach committee. I currently hold a work-study position as an administrative clerical aide in the Institute of Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern and was an undergraduate researcher in the John Rogers Lab. As I look forward with aspirations of applying to graduate school, areas of research in biomedical engineering and biotechnology that I am particularly interested in include biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery systems. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy learning on my own and sharing my experience and knowledge with my peers and other students. I hope to make use of my experiences with academics and learning in high school and so far in my undergraduate career in order to effectively tutor students who may be experiencing the same struggles in learning that I also experienced.
Shyon
ACT Science Tutor • +69 Subjects
I am currently a student at the University of Texas-Austin, and in the Honors Biomedical Engineering Program. Throughout high school and into college, I have tutored students of all ages; anywhere from my employment at a mathematics tutoring center to private lessons for students my age. Other parts of my life include playing sports (tennis, soccer, ping pong, basketball), jamming on the piano, and doing extracurriculars at school.I believe the most effective teachers are not those who know the most, but those who motivate their students to want to know it all. I like to keep the student as engaged and focused as possible in the work. From my personal experiences in high school up to the Biomedical Engineering program, I have learned the variety of ways students learn and try my best to implement the most appropriate method. Last but not least, I try to ensure the student has fun and genuinely enjoys the sessions with the tutor.
Theodora
Abstract Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects
I am a graduate of Emory University, where I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I then received a Master of Science from Johns Hopkins University where I focused on Biotechnology. I am currently pursuing my M.D. in Boston, MA. During my time in graduate school, I tutored middle school and high school students in science and math. I love tutoring science, especially health sciences as I am in school to become a physician. I also enjoy teaching math and I find it to be one of the most rewarding subjects to watch a student grow to understand. Throughout my academic career, I have taken the SAT, GRE, and MCAT so I am especially passionate about test preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions
10th grade marks a critical transition where students juggle increasingly complex coursework across multiple subjects—often while managing new social pressures and extracurricular commitments. Common struggles include balancing honors or AP-track classes, developing stronger study habits for cumulative exams, managing time across 5-7 different classes, and building confidence in subjects like algebra II or chemistry where foundational gaps become more apparent. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps by creating a customized learning plan that addresses each student's specific weak points rather than a one-size-fits-all classroom approach, allowing students to move at their own pace and ask questions without feeling rushed.
Effective tutors work with 10th graders to build systems for organizing assignments, breaking down larger projects into manageable steps, and creating realistic study schedules that fit their after-school commitments. Many tutors teach evidence-based study techniques like spaced repetition for memorization, practice testing to strengthen recall, and active note-taking strategies that go beyond passive highlighting. Beyond academics, tutors help students understand their own learning style and energy patterns, so they can study when they're most alert and use techniques that actually stick—rather than cramming the night before a test.
10th grade often introduces algebra II, geometry, or honors biology—courses where abstract thinking and cumulative knowledge become essential. Tutors identify specific foundational gaps (like struggling with fractions or exponent rules) that may not have surfaced in earlier math, then fill those gaps before moving forward. In sciences, tutors help students develop lab skills, understand how to read and interpret data, and connect abstract concepts to real-world applications—all skills that are harder to master in a large classroom setting where lab time is limited.
While junior year is the typical peak for SAT/ACT prep, many 10th graders benefit from starting diagnostic testing and foundational skill-building early—especially if they're aiming for competitive colleges or scholarships. A tutor can administer practice tests to identify which sections need the most work (math, reading, or writing), then focus on targeted skill development rather than generic test prep. Starting early also reduces stress junior year and allows students to take the test multiple times if needed, since the national average SAT score hovers around 1050 and many competitive schools expect scores above 1200.
The best tutors for 10th graders combine subject expertise with strong communication skills and the ability to connect with teenagers who are developing their own academic identities. Look for tutors who have experience teaching at the high school level, understand how to diagnose learning gaps rather than just reteach material, and can explain complex concepts in multiple ways. Tutors should also be skilled at building student confidence—10th grade is when many students start believing they're "not a math person" or "bad at writing," and an effective tutor challenges those limiting beliefs while providing concrete evidence of progress through improved grades and test scores.
10th grade motivation often dips when students feel disconnected from material or overwhelmed by workload. Tutors help by making subjects more relevant—showing how algebra connects to real problems, or how history concepts relate to current events—and by celebrating small wins that build momentum. Personalized instruction also removes the embarrassment factor of asking questions in front of peers, which can unlock engagement for students who've been silently confused. When a student starts seeing measurable improvement (better quiz scores, deeper understanding, less homework stress), intrinsic motivation often follows naturally.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand that 10th graders often have packed schedules, and together they create realistic plans that fit around practice, games, rehearsals, and other obligations. Rather than adding stress, effective tutoring actually reduces overall time pressure by making study sessions more efficient—a focused 1-on-1 session often accomplishes more than hours of unfocused homework. Tutors can also help students prioritize which assignments and subjects need the most attention in any given week, so they're not trying to do everything at once.
Clear progress markers include improved grades on unit tests and quizzes, stronger performance on homework assignments, increased confidence when tackling difficult problems, and better organization of materials and study plans. Many tutors track specific skill development—like moving from struggling with multi-step equations to solving them independently, or going from vague essay answers to well-structured arguments. Parents should also notice reduced homework stress, fewer requests for help with assignments, and a student who can explain their thinking more clearly—these are signs that learning is sticking, not just that grades improved temporarily.
