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.

Enrico
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects
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
Varsity Tutors connects students across Johnstown's 21 schools and 6 school districts with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Greater Johnstown area or one of the surrounding districts, we match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum and Pennsylvania academic standards.
Students in Johnstown frequently seek support in math, English/language arts, and science—subjects that are critical for meeting Pennsylvania standards and preparing for state assessments. We also work with students on standardized test prep, including the SAT and ACT, as well as AP courses for high school students looking to strengthen their college applications.
Pennsylvania has specific learning standards for each grade level and subject area, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps students master these benchmarks at their own pace. Tutors work with students on the exact skills and concepts their schools are teaching, filling gaps and building confidence so they can succeed in the classroom and on state assessments.
The first session focuses on understanding your student's goals, current challenges, and learning style. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically, discuss what they're working on in their Johnstown school classes, and create a personalized plan to address specific areas where they need support.
While Johnstown schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of 17.6:1, classroom instruction still needs to serve the whole group. One-on-one tutoring provides individualized attention that's impossible in a classroom setting—tutors can focus entirely on your student's specific learning needs, pace, and questions without having to move on with 16+ other students.
Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions you choose. We work with families in Johnstown to find flexible options that fit different budgets—whether you need intensive weekly support or occasional help with specific topics.
