Ian

1st Grade Tutor • +39 Subjects

I am a graduate of University of Phoenix with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. I am also an alum of University of Northern Colorado. As I was finishing my degree, I was working full-time in the financial industries. Upon completion of my degree I decided to pursue my passion of teaching and have not looked back. I received my teaching license through an alternative license program through Metro State. As a teacher of four years, I have had the opportunity to work with students from Kindergarten up to 6th grade (where I currently teach Math). A number of years back I also lived and taught in Mexico for two years.I am currently only tutoring math (for elementary and middle school aged students). I'm focused on math because of the importance it has in our daily lives. Aside from the ability to read, I don't think there is a skill that is in greater demand. That being said, I recognize that there are many aspects of Math that can be confusing. I like to employ chants and hand movements to help remember the vocabulary and methods necessary to be successful in Math.Outside of the classroom, I love spending time with my family (wife, 4 kids, and a dog!). When I'm taking some time to myself, I can either be found reading a good book (I love most genres but hold a special place for Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Dystopian books. or watching some sports on TV (Go Broncos!). I do enjoy to travel when funds and time allow. But mostly my time is spent ensuring that I'm helping my students be as successful as they can. I love tutoring because it helps me reach out and impact more student lives than I normally am able to.

Jocelyn

ACT Math Tutor • +27 Subjects

My motivations for becoming a tutor stem from the relationships I built with educators during my time as a student. It is because of the support I received from my teachers, professors, and tutors that I have such a strong passion for academia. I aspire to provide those whom I tutor with a similar sense of enthusiasm for learning.I am a graduate of Clark University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Economics, and I have also taken coursework in various disciplines of mathematics and business. During college, I gained experience tutoring in two primary ways. First, I was the teaching assistant for one of Clark's Linear Algebra courses. As the teaching assistant, I held office hours for the students enrolled in the course, during which they could come to me with any questions related to the lectures, homework, or exams. I also have experience teaching middle school students through the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program in the Worcester Public School system. While participating in the AVID program, I tutored a variety of subjects including Biology, History, English, Algebra, and Geometry. While I have experience in a broad range of subjects, I am particularly passionate about the fields of Mathematics and Economics.

Ellie

Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a software engineer at a small technology company and volunteer teaching AP Computer Science at a local high school. I am passionate about tutoring in computer science and math to help people understand the beauty in the two fields. When tutoring, I find that it is important to engage the student by helping them understand the base of the problem and how to break it down into manageable sections. After this, it is important to figure out how to solve each part of the problem. By the end of my sessions, I hope that my students understand the basics of how we approached and conquered the problem, enabling them to do the same in the future without assistance. In my free time, I spend time visiting museums, going out to eat, and painting watercolor.

Lindsay

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +13 Subjects

I have been a Teacher for thirteen years in three countries and believe in a student-centered approach. Students should be involved in planning and furthering their own learning to help them stay motivated and to feel empowered to keep learning. I also focus on study skills and work habits to help students learn independently and will even help them to find the language to advocate for themselves and their own learning in school.I graduated from college with high honors and have near-perfect exam scores on the PRAXIS exam despite having dyslexia. Dyslexia is an umbrella term for many types of symbol-ordering differences within the brain and I am happy to help others navigate taking control of their reading and test taking skills.

Michael

ACT Math Tutor • +31 Subjects

I enjoy working with people in an intellectually stimulating setting. I have gained the most satisfaction from tutoring not by pushing people beyond their perceived limits. I can simultaneously make people see the justification behind my passion for the sciences and encourage them to open their minds to it. My students actively sought out my help, and I wanted to live up to my role as an authority in my field.I like to set an agenda for each student in our sessions in order to create a structure in which they could relax and organize their thoughts. I spent the first two to three minutes listening to them talk about their day and their interests and hobbies to connect with them as a person and find out what learning style might fit them best. For example, I notice that visual learners would pay attention to my hand movements and verbal learners sometimes write down everything that I say. I then review laws and concepts that are fundamental to understanding chemistry and frequently relate them to popular topics such as sports, weather, and family.I plan let the students dictate the pace for the last half hour of each session. I ask a few questions to confirm that they understand what we are going over, but for the most part, my hope is for them to propose and answer their own questions. I know that every student has the scientific skills to recognize a pattern, relate the concept to something they know, and use logic, and a successful session entails that the student feels the same way.

Kathleen

College English Tutor • +9 Subjects

I performed my undergraduate studies at Georgian Court University and earned a BA in psychology with a minor in chemistry. I later went on to attend the New Pathways to Teaching Program through New Jersey City University and completed stage one. I earned my teaching certificate in Elementary Education K-8 as well as Middle School Science. The second stage will be completed upon my securing a full time teaching position. I have experience substitute teaching all grade levels from pre K through grade 12. I mainly enjoy teaching science and reading but am comfortable teaching math as well. I have always loved science and when I was a child I always wanted to be an astronaut! I believe all students can learn and should be given the best possible opportunity to learn in the manner which is best suited to them. I can develop a plan to accommodate a wide variety of students and tailor it to their individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Waltham's 14 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Waltham Public School District or a private institution in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic needs.

Massachusetts has rigorous academic standards, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction is highly effective at helping students master grade-level content and prepare for state assessments. Tutors work with students on the specific skills and concepts emphasized in Massachusetts curricula, whether that's building reading comprehension, strengthening math foundations, or preparing for MCAS exams.

Waltham students most commonly seek help in math, English language arts, science, and test preparation (including MCAS and SAT/ACT prep). We also support students in foreign languages, social studies, and subject-specific courses like chemistry and algebra. Varsity Tutors can match your student with an expert tutor in whatever subject they need support with.

During the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current understanding, learning style, and specific academic goals. They'll discuss what's working well and where your student needs the most support—whether that's catching up after falling behind, preparing for an upcoming test, or building confidence in a challenging subject. This foundation helps create a personalized learning plan tailored to your student's needs.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 10.3:1 in Waltham schools, classroom teachers do excellent work, but personalized 1-on-1 tutoring provides something different: focused attention on your specific student's learning gaps and strengths. Tutors can reinforce what's being taught in class, work at your student's pace, and provide extra practice on concepts that need more reinforcement.

Absolutely. Varsity Tutors works with families to find scheduling that fits their lives, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school breaks. We also offer flexibility in session length and frequency—some students benefit from weekly sessions, while others prefer intensive support during specific times like exam prep season.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and experience working with students at your child's level. Tutors are carefully selected and vetted to ensure they're equipped to help students succeed in Massachusetts classrooms and on state assessments.

Getting started is simple—just tell us about your student's academic needs, grade level, and preferred subjects. Varsity Tutors will match them with a tutor who fits those needs, and you can begin personalized sessions right away. Most families see their students feel more confident and engaged in their learning within the first few weeks.
