Mark

College Physics Tutor • +11 Subjects

I was never a straight A student, in fact, I struggled to get B's. It was never a problem with the content I was learning but the context in which that material was presented. After learning about the many different learning profiles that exist in the classroom I realized that students like myself were being left out to dry. I decided three years into my first college experience that I wanted to become an educator. Transferring to Wright State University and enrolling in their Teacher Preparation program is undoubtedly the best decision I have ever made. This upcoming fall I will be working in the Dayton Public School district to help students who, like myself, who struggle with "playing school."Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading science-fiction and taking hikes at the many metro parks in the South Dayton area. I occasionally work at a locally owned running store on the weekends and even do some coaching in the fall and spring. I have spent most of my life in Dayton but also moved around a lot as my father was in the military. I hope to move and teach in Philadelphia some day in the future but for now, my focus is on revitalizing the school system in Dayton.

Inrich

French Tutor • +11 Subjects

As a highly motivated, goal and success oriented tutor, I have a proven track record of providing excellent tools for everyone around me to overcome the challenges that they encounter when facing difficult situations. I will graduate from Baruch college with a bachelor's in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and have always received A's in all my mathematic courses. I am always positive and enthusiastic, and I love to share that with everyone. I have been a tutor for about 6 years now, in French and Mathematics. I have helped my students to build the necessary skills that they need to succeed. I show my students how to study effectively. For instance, Mathew who is a former student of mine did not like algebra at all. I showed him how easy it is with 3 effective rules to master in algebra. Read-Follow-Do. Now he is taking calculus and is doing well. My previous experience as a tutor and my daily life as a student has enabled me to develop not only specific skills to be the best tutor, but also to be patient and understanding. This is because I have lived the frustration of not understanding a subject myself. This pushes me to read and go find the help that I need. Living this myself makes me devoted and goal oriented, and motivates me to help my students even more. I want to get my PhD in I.O. in the future and develop more and better skills to be the best tutor that I can ever be.

Ann Marie

6th Grade AP Language Composition Tutor • +27 Subjects

My decision to pursue a teaching career is because I have a strong desire to make a difference in the lives of my students. I see teaching as the best way to do this. I also have a strong love for learning and as an educator, having this quality is essential if one is to instill a love for learning in his/her students. I am helping students reach their fullest potential. I am laying the foundation for lifelong learning and achievement and to me that is the greatest job of all.I have taught a wide variety of students in both early childhood and elementary grades in both public and private settings. I have also helped colleagues prepare for different standardized exams such as the GRE, PRAXIS and the New York State teacher examination. My experiences have taught me a lot about what are best practices and how best to implement these best practices. They have taught me the value of being patient and the importance of differentiated instruction.I have my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Pace University. I also have a Masters in Science in Childhood Education (1-6). In addition, I have a 15-Credit Post Masters in Early Childhood Education (Birth-2nd Grade). I am able to tutor reading (comprehension, phonics); writing (style, grammar); math (number operations, measurement, geometry, problem solving, and number sense); science (biology, health, physiology, astronomy; weather, earth science); and social studies (civic engagement, geography and history).My favorite subjects to tutor are reading, writing and math. As an educator I take the time to get to know my students and what really interests them. I believe this is essential to learning how to best teach the students I am teaching or tutoring. It is important to help make the content relatable and accessible. This means getting to know my students and their learning styles.Outside of academia I enjoy doing yoga, reading, traveling and spending time with family and friends.

I've worked with groups from ages 4 to 16 years old of all genders and backgrounds, and have experience with special needs and varied learning abilities as well. My last outdoor youth guiding position focused on middle school to high school aged expeditions, team building, rappel/abseil guiding, and overnight survival skills expeditions.I have a long background in emergency and wilderness medicine, and pursuing emergency services and search and rescue focuses is my main goal. I have completed the nationally registered EMT and Wilderness EMT courses, and wish to pursue either a Paramedics or Nursing degree next.I have travelled extensively throughout my life, especially during my twenties, and get extreme enjoyment in absorbing whatever I can about the cultures and languages belonging to wherever I find myself.During my three years in Australia I found myself around a lot of Brazilian friends, so I picked up a decent amount of Portuguese, and am currently starting to teach myself Arabic as well.I adore the outdoors and time spent adventuring in nature.

Frequently Asked Questions

10th grade algebra builds on foundational skills but shifts the focus from just memorizing procedures to understanding the deeper concepts behind them. Students move from solving basic equations to tackling more complex multi-step problems, working with rational expressions, systems of equations, and quadratic functions. This conceptual jump is where many students struggle—they need to see why the steps work, not just how to perform them. Personalized tutoring helps bridge this gap by connecting abstract concepts to real-world applications and visual representations.

Word problems require students to translate real-world situations into algebraic equations—a skill that combines reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, and problem-solving strategy. Many students struggle because they don't know where to start or how to identify what information matters. A tutor can teach proven strategies like identifying variables, drawing diagrams, and breaking problems into smaller steps. With guided practice and feedback, students learn to recognize patterns in different problem types and build confidence tackling unfamiliar scenarios.

Showing work is essential in algebra because it reveals your thinking process and helps identify where mistakes happen. It's not just about getting the right answer—it's about demonstrating that you understand each step. A good tutor emphasizes that showing work means writing out the properties or rules you're using (like the distributive property or combining like terms), not just scribbling down random calculations. This habit also helps students catch their own errors and builds the foundation for more advanced math where the reasoning matters as much as the result.

Graphing becomes less intimidating when students understand that it's just a visual way to represent algebraic relationships. Many students memorize slope-intercept form without really seeing what slope and intercept mean on a graph. A tutor can use interactive graphing tools and real-world examples to make these connections concrete—like showing how slope represents rate of change. Once students see the pattern between equations and their graphs, they're better equipped to solve problems involving lines, parabolas, and systems of equations.

The best algebra tutors combine subject expertise with the ability to explain concepts in multiple ways. They ask questions that help students think through problems rather than just providing answers, recognize when a student is confused versus careless, and adapt their teaching style to match how the student learns best. They should also be familiar with your student's specific curriculum or textbook, since different programs emphasize concepts in different orders. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have experience teaching 10th grade algebra and can provide personalized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to your student's learning style and pace.

Math anxiety often stems from feeling lost or embarrassed about asking questions in a classroom setting. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, students can ask as many questions as they need without judgment and work at their own pace. A supportive tutor helps build confidence by celebrating small wins, breaking problems into manageable pieces, and showing students that mistakes are learning opportunities. As students experience success with strategies that work for their brain, anxiety decreases and they become more willing to tackle challenging problems.

You should start seeing improvements in both understanding and confidence within a few weeks. Early signs include the student being able to explain why steps work (not just perform them), showing more organized work, and asking better questions. Over time, you'll notice improved homework accuracy, better performance on assessments, and a shift in attitude toward math—from "I can't do this" to "I haven't figured this out yet." The timeline depends on the student's starting point and frequency of tutoring, but consistent personalized instruction typically yields noticeable progress in problem-solving ability and mathematical reasoning within 4-8 weeks.
