I love to help and teach people. I have recently been teaching newly hired air traffic control students for over a year in a virtual environment. Before that, I taught in the classroom for three years. My main career was in air traffic control. That lasted about 28 years, during which I trained all ages of people. I have an associate's degree in liberal arts from Johnson County CC. I tutor air traffic control subjects along with math. I am very patient with the people I teach and will work very hard to help you understand what you want to learn.

Sherry

Adult Literacy Tutor • +9 Subjects

Teaching is my fourth career. I've learned my way through the first three by watching others and choosing how to adapt and apply their techniques to the specific purpose of my projects.In high school I was a STEM student before the term existed, but I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Vassar College with a major in Drama and a double minor in English and Art.Starting out on my career path in New York City, I took and taught theater crafts and began to develop prototype design skills while working in live theater, opera, dance, and television/video, and after contributing to Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and The Muppet Movie, relocated to London through the Jim Henson companies to work on feature films such as Dark Crystal, Dreamchild, Labyrinth, and Little Shop of Horrors.After a time, being at the intersection of a script and its visualization excited me the most and led me to emulate my colleagues who were into concept creation by beginning to research and write story treatments for Labyrinth.Returning to the States to raise a family, I applied what I'd learned about production to the corporate world. My experience and imagination yoked to a client's vision and purpose allowed me to take on a variety of roles: creative director, writer, producer, graphic designer, and occasional project management.As in the past, I often worked in the trenches, this time learning the software that supported and enhanced our efforts. But overall, my focus was to communicate, through language and visual representation, how a project could be realized. I knew that the plan might grow and change as it progressed, so had to be mindful that collaboration, communication, and flexibility were key to adapting to change as we moved toward the client's goal.Although I returned to college and earned a Master's in English and a Certificate in Creative Writing, my progress in the real world still relies on both words and pictures. The more we engage our senses, the deeper will be our ability to convey our intentions to those with whom we live, work, and play.Therefore, I wish to find out how you learn best so that together we may craft a plan for your progress, whatever your goal. Please share your expectations and concerns. Your goal may seem hazy at the start, but as learning is about observing, trying, and sometimes failing, your vision will come into focus. We can course correct as we move forward together to ensure a resolution, even if the destination changes somewhat. That's life, isn't it?

College English Tutor • +25 Subjects

As a teacher, I have seen students first hand struggling to learn in a congested classroom setting. Even one in which there are a significantly reduced number of students in the room. This goes for both general education and special education students. I have also seen them flourish after being given extra one on one attention and time to learn concepts that he or she is struggling with. That is why I wanted to become a tutor in my spare time. I spend every day as an educator and not always able to give the extra attention to the students that require it the most. When tutoring, I am able to spend as much time as necessary on a concept, and use different methods to convey that concept to my students.

1st Grade Tutor • +70 Subjects

I am currently an upper elementary teacher through Teach For America, and I've passed all of my elementary certification exams, while working on finishing my teacher license this academic year from calumet college, St. Joseph. My undergraduate degree is in Economics from the University of Chicago, and I did a lot of statistics, too!I like having kids how to read, write, and do math. Because I loved doing those in school, and I'll be teaching that this up coming school year. To have a struggling reader all of a sudden love reading and attack hard words never before tried is the best feeling in the world.I believe education should be fun, loving, inviting, challenging, and organized.

Algebra Tutor • +18 Subjects

Hello Prospective Students!I was very lucky as a kid because my parents never held me back and they always helped me exceed expectations in all subject matters. I understand the value of private tutoring because my parents provided me with tutors whenever I needed it.As a result, I did extremely well on My SHSAT and attended the Bronx H.S of Science. With the help of my parents and tutors I was able to do very well on my SAT's and gain acceptance to some of the toughest Undergraduate institutions NYC had to offer (NYU, Macaulay Honors College,etc).Most recently I graduated a top-ranked MBA program, and am ready to give back some of the knowledge I have gained throughout the years to those that need it.Currently I am an Adjunct at CUNY Queens College,teaching Mathematics to graduate and undergraduate students. I also tutor High School students (all Math Regents exams, and Math SAT) and Junior High School students for the SHSAT math section.My hobbies include basketball, soccer, and Judo. Throughout High School I was nationally ranked in the sport of Judo and was an Academic All-American.I have competed nationally and internationally for the United States and have placed at tournaments such as the Junior Pan American games.I know what it takes to be a champion both on and off the mat. I am confident that I can help your children exceed their goals in the field of mathematics!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Newton's 14 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a Newton public school or one of the area's private institutions, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.

Massachusetts has rigorous academic standards, and Newton's strong school district works to prepare students for success on state assessments and beyond. Personalized tutoring helps students master core concepts at their own pace, build confidence in challenging subjects, and develop the critical thinking skills emphasized in Massachusetts curriculum frameworks—all while complementing what they're learning in the classroom.

Newton students most commonly seek support in math (especially algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus), English/language arts, and sciences like chemistry and biology. We also work with students preparing for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, as well as those pursuing AP coursework. Whatever subject your student needs help with, Varsity Tutors can connect you with a qualified tutor.

Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and establish learning goals. The tutor will assess your student's current understanding, identify areas where they need the most support, and create a personalized plan moving forward. This foundation ensures that every subsequent session is focused and productive.

While Newton maintains a strong 10.3:1 student-teacher ratio compared to national averages, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring offers something unique: instruction tailored entirely to your student's learning style, pace, and goals. A tutor can spend full attention on your student's specific challenges, adjust explanations in real-time, and provide immediate feedback—something that's difficult to replicate in even well-resourced classroom settings.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families to create flexible arrangements that fit their budget and schedule—whether that's weekly sessions during the school year, intensive support before exams, or ongoing help with a challenging subject. Contact Varsity Tutors to discuss pricing options and get matched with a tutor.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and teaching experience. Many are certified teachers, subject matter experts, or experienced educators. All tutors are carefully selected to ensure they can deliver high-quality, personalized instruction that helps Newton students succeed.

Getting started is simple: contact Varsity Tutors and tell us about your student's needs, goals, and schedule. We'll match them with a tutor who's a great fit, and you can begin personalized instruction right away. Most families see their student gain confidence and momentum within the first few sessions.
