Algebra Tutor • +4 Subjects
I earned my degrees at Miami Dade Honors College and the University of Central Florida, one in computer science and the other in math education, respectively.I have been tutoring for 14 years in various subjects, but I am most strong in mathematics. Math is my favorite subject to teach because it's not only fun, but I love watching the "aha" moments students get when they understand.I personally believe in the ideal that all can learn math! There isn't a single person I have worked with who has left my care without some semblance of understanding of mathematics!
Zain
ACT English Tutor • +57 Subjects
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. I received my Bachelor of Arts from the interdisciplinary College of Social Studies and earned certificates in South Asian studies, international relations, and social, cultural, and critical theory. I graduated with honors for my senior thesis which explored the 1947 Partition of India and Pakistan. I was awarded both the Davenport Grant for study of public affairs and the Tololyan Fund for study of diasporas and transnationalism, with which I was able to traverse the Indian subcontinent, interview family members, and conduct independent research.This experience confirmed my love for stories and their potential to build compassion, and so upon graduation, I continued pursuing historical, archival, and educational work as a William J. Clinton Fellow with the American India Foundation. I spent my fellowship year traveling across the country as a story scholar with the 1947 Partition Archive, collecting the oral histories of Partition survivors and helping them realize the potential of their own stories in facilitating greater cooperation between communities for generations to come.I am similarly passionate about helping students as a means of helping them realize their own potentialmy ultimate goal, far more important than just going over any particular subject material or standardized test. Since high school I have developed curriculums and tutored students in areas like character education for elementary schoolers, college essay writing for underprivileged high schoolers, and standardized test-taking for all ages. My teaching philosophy revolves around the idea that my success as a tutor depends on my ability to address the student in particular, given their background, behavior, and aspirations. This draws on my own experience as a student in the personalized, small classes offered at a small liberal arts school like Wesleyan. As a result, my philosophy often translates into a teaching style that draws heavily on high-level devices like stories, analogies, and real-life experiences tailored for the student. Together, we can then boil down the big picture into relatable specifics through which one can find the answer. The process can be thought of almost as putting together a jigsaw puzzle: my role will be to come up with and find the pieces before guiding the student to learn how exactly they can be put together, so he or she will always be ready next time they encounter such a problem.Though my expertise and passion in the social scienceseconomics, history, political science, philosophyis obvious given my academic background, I also have extensive work experience in computer science and programming that I am eager to share with my students. In high school I excelled with standardized tests like the ACT and SAT, in addition to a variety of subjects in the AP curriculum. I look forward to the opportunity to help students in as many of these areas as needed to ensure a solid academic foundation for whatever future successes they aspire toward.Since returning to NYC, I have also worked as an independent writer and musician, with plans for graduate school in the interdisciplinary South Asian studies and the release of my debut album, consisting of songs written during my year in India.
Fatemeh
College English Tutor • +39 Subjects
I am a 4th year English teacher with a B.A in Teaching of English in Secondary Education. After graduating from University of Illinois at Chicago in 2012, I moved to Dubai and taught English to high school students. In 2014, my husband and I decided to move back home and pursue experiences. I dabbled in the literary world and then soon after became an Assistant Director of an after school program. Missing my comfort zone, I found my way back into the classroom. I taught middle school Writing at a high-paced charter school for a year. With my upbeat and positive demeanor, I bring a fresh, new approach to English that will make even the most mundane concepts more interesting.

I've always loved numbers and Mathematics but it wasn't until college that I realized this passion and strength were driving me towards education. Since then, I've enjoyed working with students of all ages and abilities to further their math skills. I believe that everyone has mathematical abilities and I enjoying working and watching these abilities grow and improve in students. In my free time, I enjoy running with my Border Collie/Lab mix, Sadya, and swimming laps. I tend to spend my evenings knitting or reading.
Tara
Elementary School Reading Tutor • +34 Subjects
I have been a teacher for a total of 7 and 1/2 years. I first began teaching at a Head Start, starting out as an assistant teacher and moving my way up to a lead teacher. As a Head Start teacher, it was my job to teach students social skills, early literacy skills, and early math and science skills. I loved teaching this age group and only stopped working there in order to further my education.After I decided to go back to school, I worked a substitute teacher. I have experienced subbing in grades 1st through 5th, as well as all Middle School and High School grade levels. I also worked as a lead teacher for a private Pre-K program for 6 months. I worked there until I was hired in the public school system. Currently, I teach kindergarten in for Oklahoma Public Schools. I have taught Kindergarten for 2 years. I work with students on phonics, letter name and sound recognition, recognizing high frequency words, and other emergent reading skills. I also work with them on early math and science skills.I absolutely love to teach. I laugh every single day and learn something new each day. I am experienced with helping student a variety of subject matter, including reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. What I love about tutoring is that I can help students one-on-one and provide individualized lesson plans specifically for that student. Please contact me to help you with your area of need. I love finding fun and unique lesson plans to help students.

Algebra Tutor • +25 Subjects
I'm a graduate of Shiraz University, and I grew up in Shiraz, Iran. I came to the USA in 2009 and I am trying to transfer to dental school. While I tutor a variety of subjects, math is easily my favorite. I love basic math, algebra, calculus and everything in between, and it shows in my work. My mom was a teacher, and she helped me to pick up my first problem solving position in high school. Since then, I've worked with students from ninth grade to adults returning to the classroom, students struggling to pass to students wanting to attend (or get into!) a special high school or college. I am a math and science tutor at Austin Community College as well as a DAT (Dental Admission Test) instructor for Kaplan Test Preparation. Most students come to me for math, but I've also worked with standardized test preparation, chemistry, biology, physics, statistics, and time management. Math and science classes are really just elaborate puzzles to solve, and most of my students learn to enjoy the process of figuring out what to do once I help them develop the confidence and skill set they need to be successful. Not everyone loves science courses, especially math but I do, and it's contagious. In my free time, I like to explore Austin with my friends: from coffee shops to parks to museums. This is a really fun city! I also enjoy listening to all kinds of music, swimming and reading a good book.

I am currently a student at Clark University, majoring in Physics and minoring in Math and education. I love working with kids, and I plan to bring enthusiasm and relevance to every tutoring session. I believe connecting math concepts to the real world helps students see where it is applicable and useful, therefore generating more of an interest in the subject.This past year, I was an assistant teacher at University Park Campus School, in Massachusetts. I helped out in a 10th grade classroom, focusing on a single student and groups of students to help them grasp concepts presented by the teacher in class. My experience was everything I wanted and more. I was able to connect with my students, and get them to fully understand the material that they were working on. Beyond that, the students became more interested in the subject once I explained how Geometry was useful in everyday situations.Tutoring and teaching are very important in a child's development, and I invite you to choose me as a tutor because I promise I will bring knowledge, enthusiasm, and fun to every tutoring session!
Shyam
ACT Prep Tutor • +16 Subjects
I love helping other people. Whether that be tutoring, helping mow a neighbor's lawn, or giving a friend a ride somewhere. I tutored many of my friends throughout high school. I am currently attending the University of Kansas. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry on a Pre-Medicine track. I tutor in lots of different types of math and chemistry. My style is to first make sure you know the background content needed to understand the actual topic at hand. Outside of tutoring, I love to play basketball and football with my friends. I enjoy bonfires and picnics as well.
Samuel
Coding Tutor • +26 Subjects
I am a graduate of Edgewood College located in Madison Wisconsin. I received my Bachelor of Computer Science in January 2021. After graduation I further explored newer technologies at Nucamp to learn more about web development. I later on became a Java Instructor for another bootcamp called Camp Createability. This new opportunity allowed me to help students learn how to game design and use Java as a programming language. From there I built up successful projects on my own and collaborated with other developers. What makes me passionate about tutoring PHP, Java, HTML, CSS and JavaScript is being able to bestow my knowledge in a simplified way that students can understand. Being there to support students with valuable feedback and resources aids them in becoming programmers.

Frequently Asked Questions
The New Jersey Bar Exam tests both New Jersey-specific law and general bar exam competencies across MBE (Multistate Bar Examination) subjects and essay questions. Many test-takers struggle most with time management—balancing 200 multiple-choice questions with essay responses in a single day—and mastering the nuanced differences between New Jersey law and model rules, particularly in areas like real property, civil procedure, and professional responsibility. Additionally, the integration of New Jersey-specific statutes and case law requires focused study that goes beyond standard bar prep courses.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows you to focus on your specific weak areas rather than following a one-size-fits-all curriculum. A tutor can identify whether you're struggling with MBE strategy, essay organization, New Jersey-specific legal rules, or test anxiety, then tailor sessions accordingly. This targeted approach means you spend less time on material you've already mastered and more time building competency in challenging areas, resulting in faster progress toward passing score benchmarks.
An excellent New Jersey Bar Exam tutor should have a strong understanding of both multistate bar law and New Jersey-specific substantive law, ideally with bar admission in New Jersey or significant experience preparing candidates for the exam. They should be familiar with the exam format, timing constraints, and essay grading rubrics, and able to teach both content mastery and test-taking strategy. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have demonstrated expertise in bar exam preparation and understand the unique challenges New Jersey candidates face.
Most bar exam candidates benefit from 8-12 weeks of focused preparation, though the timeline depends on your baseline knowledge, how much time you can dedicate weekly, and whether you're using tutoring alongside a bar prep course. Those who combine personalized tutoring with structured self-study often see more efficient progress than those relying solely on prep courses, since tutoring can address specific problem areas immediately rather than waiting for group-based instruction to cover those topics. Your tutor can assess your starting point and create a realistic timeline based on your goals.
Yes. Essay writing is a key component of the New Jersey Bar Exam, and many candidates underestimate the importance of structured, organized responses. A tutor can teach you how to spot issues quickly, organize your analysis using proven frameworks (like IRAC), apply New Jersey law accurately, and write concisely under time pressure. Through practice essays with feedback, you'll learn to identify what graders are looking for and refine your approach, which typically leads to measurable score improvements on this portion of the exam.
The MBE (Multistate Bar Examination) tests broad legal principles across six subjects and requires strategy-based multiple-choice skills, while New Jersey essays test deeper knowledge of substantive law, New Jersey-specific rules, and written analysis. MBE prep focuses on pattern recognition and eliminating wrong answers efficiently, whereas essay prep emphasizes issue spotting, legal reasoning, and application of law to facts. Most candidates need different study approaches for each section, and a tutor can help you develop distinct strategies rather than treating them as a single preparation task.
With consistent personalized instruction, you can expect to see measurable improvements in several areas: faster issue spotting on practice problems, more organized essay responses, stronger accuracy on subject matter you initially found confusing, and increased confidence during timed practice exams. Many candidates report that within 4-6 weeks of regular sessions, they've developed stronger test-taking strategies and significantly reduced time spent studying ineffectively. Your tutor will track your progress on practice exams and specific question types to ensure you're on track toward your passing score goal.
