Larry

ACT Writing Tutor • +96 Subjects

After practicing environmental law for 27 years, I decided to change careers. I chose teaching because that is something that has always interested me, and chose social studies because my BA is in history and history has been a lifelong passion. I have a background in law, government and public policy as well, having been a practicing environmental lawyer and having earned a Master of Public Administration degree. As a Scout leader for 25 years, I was very much involved in teaching at all education levels, all the way up to graduate school.Raising my own four children also involved a great deal of teaching. As a lawyer, I enjoyed most working with younger lawyers and helping them become better researchers and writers, and with high school and undergraduate students considering a law-related career. The common thread in these experiences is working with young people one-on-one or in small groups. For these reasons, I believe tutoring plays to my strengths as a teacher. When I was in the classroom, my assessments always used actual AP questions. My students performed very well on their final exams, which were full-length AP tests using questions from past exams, averaging. In world history, I wrote my own test questions, since test banks accompanying the text involved little more than memorization. I try to inject more rigor into my lessons and assessments.I never go into a professional activity with a client without a great deal of preparation. In my economics and government classes, I prepared detailed study guides both to prepare myself and to assist students. I believe my students' performance in AP classes was directly related to these guides. As a tutor, in my first meeting with a student, I will assess the nature of their concerns with the subject. I will review with them the syllabus and their recent exams and assignments to identify the key problems. Problems might include study habits, difficulty with key concepts, and absorbing the sheer volume of material, among other things. Having identified the problems, I will tailor tutoring sessions to the individual student's needs. For example, lessons may concentrate on practice with difficult concepts Many students are visual or kinetic learners, so the use of graphs in economics is especially useful to get to the solution, and to build on basic concepts, even when answering multiple choice questions. In this regard, my study guides will provide appropriate material for helping students. I view these guides as living documents and constantly evaluate and revise them to meet student needs..As a tutor of college students, I will draw on my own experience working with summer interns as well as my education and professional experience. Law, public administration, government, and economics, in addition to US and world history are some of the subjects in my professional repertoire.Most important, because I have taught or practiced in a number of subjects before, I have a wealth of material and information that I can use in my tutoring sessions. For subjects I have not yet taught, I look for useful material on line. In general, I do not view tutoring as something that happens only during the hour I spend with a student. I maintain records on each student's needs and progress, and plan ahead for each meeting so as to tailor lessons to individual needs. I prepare session notes following each meeting with a student to help prepare future lessons and to assess my own performance.

Devan

Arithmetic Tutor • +26 Subjects

I am a college graduate with a passion for education and helping others. I believe that regardless of perceived ability or adversity, every student has potential. My goal is to work with students on how to find and best reach their full potential. I have tutored for over seven years throughout high school and college. I have experience in a number of subjects and approaching subjects in different study methods.It's been my experience that once you find what study approach works best for you, doing well in school follows suit. I come with a number of different study approaches, and I like to try them all within sessions until we identify what the student prefers. I then work with my students to create a new study schedule using the new method instead of the old one (ie., flashcards vs. rereading the chapter once or twice). I also typically like to communicate with the student's teacher once or twice early in on tutoring to gain a sense of their perception of the student, how s/he teaches class, if the student is missing any assignments, if there is anything we can do for extra credit, etc. I think this helps remind the student that we (parents, teachers, tutors) are all here to help, and that we want the student to succeed, rather than punish the student.That being said, I am a huge believer in intrinsic motivation. In my opinion, intrinsic motivation will help students in ways that no physical, tangible reward ever could. I believe in my tutoring abilities, and I want my students to succeed, therefore I do everything I can to help them succeed. If I can help my students work hard, and feel comfortable and confident in class, then they will do well. I like to work with my students in a way that demonstrates to them how personally rewarding academic success can be.

As a five year experienced elementary teacher I am excited to be tutoring students in math and reading. My specialties are in intervention and small group teaching. I love the "ah ha, I get it" lightbulb moment that students have when they have made the connection in their learning of a subject. I enjoy learning about my students as I teach since their personal experiences bring so much to our learning environment. I have high expectations and passion to bring students closer to their academic and life goals. I also believe that a positive growth mindset will carry anyone through life. Always feel free to ask questions for everyone, myself included, is always learning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Seventh graders often struggle with the transition from elementary to more complex, multi-step assignments across multiple subjects. Common pain points include managing longer math problem sets (especially pre-algebra and early algebra concepts), organizing research for essays, understanding scientific reasoning in lab reports, and balancing homework across 6-7 different classes. Many students also struggle with time management—they underestimate how long assignments take and procrastinate, leading to rushed, incomplete work. Additionally, 7th graders frequently misunderstand assignment instructions because they're not reading them carefully or asking for clarification, which compounds frustration.

A tutor can teach 7th graders concrete organizational systems like breaking large assignments into smaller milestones, creating checklists, and using a planner to track due dates across all classes. They help students develop a homework routine—designating a specific time and distraction-free space for work—and teach them to read assignment instructions thoroughly before starting. Tutors also model how to prioritize when multiple assignments are due, helping students identify which tasks require the most time or effort. These skills directly improve homework completion rates and reduce the stress that comes from feeling overwhelmed.

Seventh grade marks a significant shift: assignments become more conceptual rather than rote, teachers expect more independent thinking, and students must manage homework across multiple subject areas with different expectations. For example, math moves from computation to problem-solving; English requires analysis rather than just reading; and science introduces the scientific method. A tutor helps students adjust by teaching them how to approach each subject's unique demands—how to show work in math, how to cite sources in writing, how to design experiments in science. This targeted support eases the transition and builds confidence in handling more rigorous academic expectations.

Excellent homework tutors don't just provide answers—they teach students *how* to solve problems independently. They ask guiding questions to help students think through challenges, identify where understanding breaks down, and develop strategies for tackling similar problems in the future. They also help students understand *why* they're learning something, which increases engagement and retention. Strong tutors monitor whether a student is rushing through work, not reading carefully, or actually struggling with the material, and they address the root cause. They also communicate with parents about patterns they observe so homework practice can be reinforced at home.

Yes. Many students benefit from working with a tutor who can help across core subjects—math, English, science, and social studies—because the organizational and study skills are transferable. A tutor can help a student apply the same problem-solving approach to math word problems and science questions, or use similar writing strategies for essays in English and history. Some students work with subject-specific tutors if they're struggling deeply in one area (like algebra), while others prefer a general homework support tutor who helps them stay organized and approach assignments strategically. Varsity Tutors can connect you with the right match based on your student's needs.

The goal of homework tutoring is to gradually reduce dependence on the tutor as a student gains confidence and skills. A tutor starts by working closely on assignments, modeling strategies and asking questions to guide thinking. Over time, they step back—asking the student to attempt problems first, then reviewing their work and asking what they'd do differently. They celebrate when a student successfully tackles a similar problem without help, reinforcing that independence. By the end of the school year, many students have internalized organizational systems, problem-solving approaches, and study habits that allow them to handle homework more confidently on their own, though they may still check in for challenging topics.

A strong 7th grade homework tutor should have solid knowledge of middle school curriculum across the subjects they teach, but equally important is their ability to explain concepts clearly and ask questions that guide student thinking rather than just providing answers. They should understand adolescent learning—how 7th graders think, what motivates them, and how to build confidence in students who feel behind. Experience working with middle schoolers, patience with repeated questions, and the ability to adapt their teaching style to different learning preferences are essential. Tutors should also be organized themselves and able to help students develop systems for managing multiple assignments without creating dependency.

Progress shows up in several concrete ways: assignments are completed more consistently and on time, work quality improves (fewer careless errors, more thorough answers), and the student needs less parental reminding to start homework. Academically, you'll see better grades on assignments and tests because the student understands the material more deeply. Behaviorally, homework becomes less of a battle—the student complains less, works more independently, and shows greater confidence tackling new topics. Over a semester or two of regular tutoring, many students also develop better study habits that extend beyond homework, like preparing more effectively for tests or asking better questions in class.
