I have a been tutoring since high school, and I have a passion for helping people, which is why I am majoring in Psychology. Psychology combines my aptitude in math and science with my love of people.In middle school, I taught violin and piano lessons to beginners. This was my introduction to teaching.I first started tutoring in high school. I realized I loved teaching, but the part I loved most about it is helping people. I continued to tutor in college and eventually became a tutor through Student Support Services. In college, I have mainly tutored in the humanities as well as algebra and statistics.I also love coffee, cats, and fireworks. I hope meet you and am excited to work with you!

ACT Prep Tutor • +57 Subjects

I am a current undergraduate at the University of Texas at Austin with a 4.0 GPA. I am pursuing a degree in biology. In high school, I have tutored children from the ages of 8-17 in various subjects and helped increase their scores tremendously. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Biology, Literature, and History. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. I am flexible in my teaching styles and will always do my best to tailor the tutoring to my students' needs.If you are looking to apply to college soon and need editing for your essays, I would love to help. I have been accepted to top universities in Texas and California such as A&M, UT Austin, UC San Diego, University of Southern California, and more!

Nat

ACT Prep Tutor • +15 Subjects

I am a second year student in the Vanderbilt University School of Engineering. I am double majoring in Math and Computer Science and minoring in Engineering Management. I frequently tutored my friends and peers throughout high school and continue to do so in my college courses. While in high school, I also volunteered for Higher Achievement, an Academic Enrichment program for middle school youth in D.C. During the summer session,I taught the SSAT and reading classes, acted as a teachers' assistant and tutored individual scholars. I am very passionate about STEM and advancements in the tech field. I strongly value education, something my parents instilled in me from a young age, and I hope to spread my love of learning and the doors that a strong education can open to those around me. I love all things sports and fitness and my favorite activities are biking, running and yoga.

Jeffrey

AP Comparative Government and Politics Tutor • +40 Subjects

Well...this is tough since rather than talk about myself I generally like to discuss what I study. The ancient world, history, political systems both now and then. My chief qualification is an Hon. BA in Classics from the University of Toronto (Trinity College) as well as numerous groups, organizations, and places where I've learned and taught. Yet my chief qualification isn't a piece of paper, or even an experience, but a genuine love of learning and an ability to inspire others with that same enthusiasm. I can tutor any number of things given my wide ranging background, but my chief areas of expertise are in the political, historical and Classical realms as well as in test-taking and writing. In my free time I like eating an excess of chocolate and burning it off through long bike rides.

Katherine

ACT Prep Tutor • +53 Subjects

Almost seven years ago, in the highly diverse, academically rich environment of the San Francisco Bay Area, I began my professional tutoring career with one of the national names in test prep. With them I learned the value of working one on one with students to identify how best they learn and help them master their own learning style. I went on to work for another, more individualized company as a lead academic tutor in test prep and multiple subjects. I was recruited by an online tutoring firm to write and perform their ACT prep video series. I currently assist students in Liberal Arts Studies through the Writing Center at the Juilliard School, and I continue to teach lessons in music. My enthusiasm for working with students continues to grow as I meet more capable, intelligent young people who often just need insight into how to tackle the mass of material they receive in the classroom. My background is as a classically trained singer, and I know first-hand the value of seeking the best help to improve one’s skills. I moved to New York City to continue my own development as a performer at the highest level, and I appreciate the will to aspire that this city instills. I enjoy clearly communicating complex ideas to students and, not just delivering content, continually checking in for actual understanding and growth. With so much experience in test prep, I know the importance of helping students feel empowered to replicate the confidence gained in a tutoring session in the classroom and on test day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students throughout Lancaster County with personalized tutoring support. With 6 school districts and 58 schools serving over 21,000 students in the area, we work with learners from Conestoga Valley, Ephrata, Hempfield, Lampeter-Strasburg, Manheim Central, and Penn Manor, helping them succeed regardless of which district they attend.

Pennsylvania has specific standards for each grade level and subject, and tutors work with students to master these benchmarks through personalized instruction tailored to individual learning gaps. Whether your student needs support with PA Core Standards in math and literacy, or preparation for Keystone Exams, personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps identify exactly where they're struggling and build confidence in those areas.

The first session is about building rapport and understanding your student's specific needs, goals, and learning style. The tutor will assess current skill levels, discuss any academic challenges, and create a personalized plan for how tutoring can help your student succeed in their Lancaster school.

Lancaster students commonly seek support in math (especially algebra and geometry), English/language arts, science, and test preparation for standardized assessments like the SAT and ACT. Many families also connect with tutors for subject-specific help like chemistry, physics, and AP courses, as well as study skills and homework support across grade levels.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have strong subject expertise and teaching experience. Each tutor is vetted for their knowledge and ability to work effectively with students, and they're matched to your student based on specific academic needs and learning preferences to ensure the best fit.

While Lancaster's average student-teacher ratio is 12.8:1, personalized 1-on-1 instruction provides focused attention that classroom settings simply can't match. Research shows that one-on-one tutoring significantly accelerates learning because the tutor can target exactly what your student needs, adjust pacing in real time, and provide immediate feedback—something that's difficult in larger classroom environments.

Varsity Tutors offers flexible scheduling to fit your family's needs, whether that's after school, weekends, or during the week. We work with families to find solutions that match their budget and schedule, and can discuss pricing options based on frequency and duration of tutoring sessions.

Many students show noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, the student's starting point, and how frequently they receive instruction. The key is regular, focused sessions where the tutor can build on progress and reinforce concepts—personalized instruction accelerates learning much faster than sporadic help.
