Valerie
BA University of Chicago
1+ Years Tutoring

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Chicago majoring in Classics and Theatre. However, my college uses the core curriculum and as a result, I've had a well-rounded, eclectic education covering everything from math to fine arts. I've won awards in community service, dance, and film, but most notably, 20 writing prizes before I reached eighteen. I was a National Merit Semi-Finalist in high school and I've had a passion for education and the art of learning since I was a child. I hope to instill in my students the love of amassing knowledge, excelling in your studies, and walking out of a test feeling like you rocked it. I especially had a passion for the Critical Reading and the Writing portions of the SAT's and the SAT 2 in Literature. I have teaching experience with everything from stand-up comedy to Emergency Medical Services to tap dancing, and I've been told that I am unmatched in my enthusiasm. In my free time, I like to perform sketch and improv comedy, dance, play the banjo, and volunteer in my local hospital.

I am a recent graduate of Northwestern University, where I received my BA in Philosophy and Political Science. As a former editor-in-chief of a high school newspaper and a peer writing coach, I enjoy tutoring in reading and English; however my passions truly lie in the realm of civics and government (ask me about my current position working in a governor's office!). I love talking through big ideas and unique perspectives. I am a word nerd who loves reading and is driven by the chance to learn new things!

BA University of Pennsylvania
2+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate from the University of Pennsylvania where I received my Bachelor's of Arts in Health & Societies with minors in Hispanic Studies and Chemistry while on the premed track. My tutoring experience begins junior year of high school where I tutored middle schoolers in pre-Algebra and Algebra and high school students in biology. I expanded my services in college to include mentoring as well as tutoring in gastroenterology program as part of a service project in collaboration with the Perelman School of Medicine targeted to Philadelphian high school students. Since graduation, I have continued in this role as a 4-8th grade math tutor. Math is a difficult subject but with sufficient time and attention, I believe every student is capable of excelling. I make it a point to curate my lesson plans to the specific needs of my students and emphasize open communication that allows for deeper understanding.

Veronica
AB Yale University

Hi! My name is Veronica, and I'm a recent Yale graduate with experience tutoring students in writing, editing, and application essays. Before transferring to Yale, I worked as a writing tutor at the University of Connecticut, where I supported undergraduate students through every stage of the writing process, from brainstorming ideas to strengthening structure, clarity, and confidence in their work. I especially enjoy helping students with personal statements because I know how intimidating it can feel to write about yourself in a meaningful and authentic way. My goal is to help students recognize the value in their own experiences and communicate them clearly while maintaining their unique voice. My tutoring style is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each student's needs. I aim to create a comfortable environment where you can ask questions, develop confidence, and grow as a writer. Outside of tutoring, I work in marketing and communications at Yale, where strong storytelling and clear communication are central to my work every day. I'm passionate about helping students feel more confident in their writing and excited to support them throughout the college essay process!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Stamford's 38 schools with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in the Stamford Public Schools or Stamford Charter Schools district, we match them with tutors who understand Connecticut's academic standards and can provide personalized support tailored to their specific needs.

Stamford students frequently seek support in math, English language arts, and test preparation for the Connecticut Mastery Test and standardized assessments. We also work with students on science and social studies, particularly when they're transitioning between grade levels or preparing for high school coursework. Many families also connect with tutors for support with executive functioning and study skills—areas that directly impact success across all subjects.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1 in Stamford schools, many students benefit from one-on-one attention that classroom settings can't always provide. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student's learning gaps, learning style, and pace—something that's difficult in larger classroom environments. This targeted approach helps students catch up, build confidence, and move ahead in their academic goals.

In the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current level, understand their specific challenges, and learn about their learning style and goals. This might include reviewing recent schoolwork, discussing what topics feel confusing, or identifying areas where your student needs the most support. From there, the tutor creates a personalized plan to help your student succeed in their Stamford classroom and beyond.

Tutors working with Stamford students are familiar with Connecticut's academic standards and what students need to demonstrate at each grade level. They align their instruction with what your student is learning in class, whether that's meeting Connecticut Mastery Test benchmarks, preparing for high school entrance, or mastering specific grade-level skills. This ensures tutoring directly supports your student's progress in their Stamford school.

Varsity Tutors works around your family's schedule, whether that means sessions after school, on weekends, or during school breaks. Many Stamford families balance multiple activities, and we understand that scheduling needs to be convenient. You can work with your matched tutor to find times that fit your student's extracurricular commitments and your family's routine.

Getting started is straightforward: tell us about your student's needs, grade level, and subjects where they need support, and we'll match them with an expert tutor who's a good fit. You can then schedule the first session at a time that works for your family. Most Stamford families see their student's tutor within a few days of connecting.

Many students begin showing improvement within the first few weeks of consistent tutoring, especially when they're receiving personalized instruction focused on their specific gaps. However, the timeline varies depending on the subject, how far behind your student is, and how frequently they meet with their tutor. Regular, ongoing tutoring combined with practice between sessions tends to produce the strongest results.
