Matthew
Calculus Tutor • +18 Subjects
I am a rising fourth-year medical student at Perelman SOM at the University of Pennsylvania currently taking time off from school. I am a Yale 2014 graduate (B.S. in Molecular Biophysics & Biochemistry). I spent my gap year doing wet lab research in a biochemistry lab at the main NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland, My parents are both university math professors with a natural gift for teaching that I believe they passed on to me. I hope to apply for residency in Internal Medicine or Psychiatry and down the line in my career to teach medical students while practicing in and academic or private-practice setting. I specialize in MCAT testing but am hoping to tutor for the SAT as well, and possibly AP exams. In my free time I enjoy rock climbing, running, working out, playing video games, and dabbling in random hobbies (most recently crochet!).

I am a first year medical student at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. I have been a private tutor in the past in subjects such as math, biology, chemistry, and the SATs and every single one of my more than twenty students have shown significant improvement. Most importantly, I have a passion for teaching, and your needs and preferences as the learner will always be paramount. I hope to help every one of my students reach every bit of their potential, and along the way, to utterly shatter any self-induced limitations that have been placed upon what they can accomplish.

I am in my second year at MIT studying mathematics, and I am currently doing a research project in Spectral Graph Theory. I have been a tutor since my junior year in high school, and I enjoy teaching all levels of math; everything from pre-algebra through calculus and linear algebra! I focus primarily on making sure that the definitions and processes given in class make intuitive sense, so that math can begin to feel like second nature.
Wamweni
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania pursuing a Masters in International Educational Development. I graduated from Stetson University with my BA in 2017, and since then have worked in inner city schools. The last two years, I have taught Algebra and Geometry at a charter high school, while managing a math tutorial program within the school. I find great joy is setting students up for success and helping them achieve the utmost in school. I do not only focus on student academic performance, but also on their social-emotional well-being, so they may attain a positive mindset of their day-to-day learning. I have 10 years experience working with elementary kids, including assisting with homeschooling. However, I am more passionate about helping students understand higher levels of mathematics. I am a believer in quality education, that's why I make sure to create an engaging learning environment for my students.
Jordan
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +37 Subjects
I am currently a student at University of Pennsylvania in an accelerated bachelors+ masters program in nursing. I have been passionate about tutoring others since I was in high school. I began tutoring in high school as a hebrew school tutor and I volunteered in my high school's writing lab to help edit essays. As a senior in college, I was selected to tutor underclassman in writing and history. I took a special class to better learn how to teach writing at a college level. Because I have experience studying humanities, social sciences, and sciences I am passionate about tutoring a wide variety of subjects. I believe the key to an effective tutoring session is adaptability and making sure to personalize my approach to each student's needs. Hobbies: reading, cooking, music, writing, art, books, hiking

Mary
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a 2014 graduate of Cornell University's College of Engineering where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Biological Engineering. I have just begun my Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University. My favorite subjects to tutor include Test Prep and elementary/middle school subjects. I enjoy helping younger students so that they can be excited about learning and begin their education with a solid foundation in reading, writing, and mathematics. I believe it is important to provide students with the proper tools to succeed at a young age so that they continue to have a desire to learn for the rest of their lives. I loved my college experience and want to show high school students that with practice and diligence, they too can perform well on standardized tests and go on to the university of their choosing. To accomplish academic goals at any level, it is important for the student to have fun while learning! I personalize my teaching approach to fit the student's learning style so that he or she can easily transition from learning a concept to applying it to a given problem. The greatest reward is seeing the smile on a student's face when a topic "clicks".

Katherine
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am a senior at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania studying Finance and Operations & Information Management. I am an Executive Board Member of one of the largest community service groups on campus, the West Philadelphia Tutoring Project, so I have had plenty of experience tutoring elementary and middle school students in reading and math in the Philadelphia area. Prior to my experience tutoring in Philadelphia, I ran an online writing program teaching essential writing skills to elementary school students and served as an Algebra I instructor at a local community center. I enjoy tutoring math up to Algebra 2, SAT Math, and editing essays (including college essays) because helping students build math foundations that will help them for the rest of their life is rewarding and I greatly enjoy editing essays! I have a very flexible tutoring style - I am approachable and willing to answer any questions related to the material. Hopefully, I can explain things as simply as possible so they stick. Outside of school, I enjoy piano, dancing, visiting museums, art, and discovering new foods and restaurants. Looking forward to tutoring!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Erie's 10 school districts with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Erie School District or one of the surrounding districts, we match them with tutors who understand Pennsylvania's academic standards and can support their specific curriculum and learning goals.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly effective for helping students master Pennsylvania's core standards in math, reading, science, and social studies. Our tutors are familiar with Pennsylvania's assessment frameworks and can target the specific skills and content areas where your student needs the most support, whether that's preparing for state assessments or strengthening foundational concepts.
Erie students typically seek tutoring in math (especially algebra and geometry), reading comprehension, writing, and science—subjects that form the foundation for academic success across grade levels. We also support students preparing for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, as well as those needing help with specific high school courses or AP preparation.
With an average student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1 in Erie classrooms, students often benefit from the focused attention that personalized 1-on-1 instruction provides. Research shows that one-on-one tutoring allows tutors to adapt their teaching to each student's learning style, pace, and specific gaps in understanding—something that's difficult to achieve in larger classroom settings.
Your first session is designed as a get-to-know-you meeting where the tutor assesses your student's current level, discusses learning goals, and identifies areas where support is needed most. This helps establish a personalized plan that targets your student's specific challenges and builds on their strengths right from the start.
Many students show noticeable progress within a few weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, your student's starting point, and how frequently they meet with their tutor. Regular sessions combined with practice between meetings help reinforce learning and build momentum toward your student's academic goals.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have demonstrated expertise in their subject areas and a track record of helping students succeed. Tutors are vetted for their knowledge and teaching ability, ensuring they can provide effective, personalized instruction aligned with what Erie students need to thrive academically.
Yes, tutoring sessions can be scheduled around your student's classes, extracurriculars, and family commitments. We work with families to find times that fit their routine, whether that's after school, weekends, or during school breaks—making it easy to add consistent academic support without disrupting your family's schedule.
