I'm working with a student, I'll ask more questions at the beginning of the session to get a good idea of where the student stands and where there are some gaps. One of the biggest things I've noticed (especially in math!) is that if there isn't a good foundation, you won't be able to finish the who...

American Literature Tutor • +50 Subjects

I believe that ALL students are destined to succeed in education in their own way and their own terms. Sometimes it just takes others longer to grasp the information being taught to them and that is okay! I was one of those students and now I make it my mission to help those students that struggle the way I did academically. I succeeded and I know they will to!

Weiyi

Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects

I'm a recent graduate of the University of Rochester with an Honors BA in Financial Economics and Statistics and a minor in Chemistry. The greatest thing about the University of Rochester is the freedom of the curriculum, which allowed me to explore a variety of classes spanning from finance and math to chemistry, biology, and even art and dance. My success during college and now at work is mainly driven by curiosity. Curiosity gives way to learning, and knowledge is a key ingredient in success.As your private tutor, I will not only help you obtain the grades you want, but I will also help you find the real world application behind the subjects. It is well researched in teaching pedagogy that when comparing extrinsic and intrinsic motivated learning, students who are intrinsically driven not only perform better on tests, but gain longer lasting and higher quality education. Given the opportunity, I will find ways to help make the subject interesting to you. I want to help you find your curiosity.With three years of experience as a teaching assistant for organic chemistry at the University of Rochester, I have great confidence that I can deliver difficult and complex information in a concise and understandable way. My previous students in Rochester have show improvements as high as three letter grades. These results, however, do not come without effort from you. I believe every student is capable of success and with the right combination of help and hard work, we can get there together.

I am currently in graduate school at Hofstra University studying in Health Administration. I graduated from Hofstra with my Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Minor in Forensic Science in the Honors Program there. I started tutoring through the Learning Centers over 5 years ago which helped me realize that teaching others was something I loved to do. This coupled with my passion for Science and a wide range of topics motivated me to excel. I have experience working with a wide range of students from as young as KG to as old as college aged students, in various fields such as science, mathematics, reading and even test preparation. In my free time I love to read and travel.

Maria

Chemistry Tutor • +7 Subjects

I am a Ph.D. chemist who has spent a good portion of my career focused on teaching. I recently served for eight years as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Trinity College, a liberal arts college in which faculty have lots of one-on-one interactions with students. Sitting down and delving into problems with students during office hours was always one of my favorite aspects of the job. I am currently transitioning back into full time chemical research but would like to keep a connection to students through tutoring.I have designed and taught courses in Introductory, Physical, and Atmospheric Chemistry at the college level. For each of these subjects, I have used multiple textbooks and am familiar with different approaches to presenting the material. In addition to my time on the faculty at Trinity, I worked for half a year at Haverford College, another liberal arts college. I also served as a teaching assistant and tutor during my graduate work at the University of Chicago and won teaching awards from the chemistry department. My tutoring experience dates back to 1996, when I started tutoring peers as an undergraduate at Swarthmore College.Chemistry is a science with practical applications in every aspect of our lives. I try to help students to see connections between the fundamental science and the many ways in which we all encounter chemical principles on a daily basis.A note about scheduling:I have time for online tutoring at 9:30 pm or later every other day. However, since the open days vary each week this is not marked on my calendar.

Shane

College English Tutor • +37 Subjects

In 2013 I graduated Colorado State University with a BA in German with a minor in English. I was fortunate enough to study abroad twice while at CSU; once in Freiburg Germany for six weeks, then for six months in Bamberg Germany. I recently received my Statement of Eligibility (SOE) from Colorado Department of Education to teach K-12 German, while in a program to earn my teacher licensure.I have always taught and tutored others; from my time in the Boy Scouts to captain of my hockey team I have helped a wide range of individuals learn. While abroad my German friend and I would meet twice a week on the bridge where we would talk about our cultures, I would ask him questions about the German language, and sometime he would give me a tours around town.After graduating college I spent three years in the white-collar, monotonous 8-5 work force while I contemplated what to do with my degree, until a few months ago when I decided to take a leap of faith and quit the routine to pursue my passion. Shortly thereafter Varsity Tutors offered me this opportunity and I knew this was the right decision for me - to help others.Aside from German I love history, a great catalyst in my interest in German, as well as music (Alligatoah, Cro and Bushido among my top German artists). I also enjoy literature and writing; I currently write for an online magazine focusing around Colorados electronic music scene.

I am a retired elementary teacher. I also currently work as a career coach/recruiter for adults looking to find a new opportunity in the restaurant/hospitality industry. I am motivated to help others to reach their full potential. Last year after helping my grandchildren survive the sudden shift to virtual schooling, I knew I had to do what I could to also help other children and their parents. My hope is that my love of mathematics and learning helps you. I am looking forward to working with you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Jersey City's 72 schools and 12 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a public school, charter school, or private institution in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands the local curriculum and New Jersey academic standards.

With Jersey City's average student-teacher ratio of 14.1:1, many students benefit from personalized 1-on-1 instruction to fill gaps and accelerate learning. Tutoring provides the individualized attention that classroom settings often can't offer, allowing students to work at their own pace and focus on their specific challenges—whether that's mastering foundational skills or preparing for standardized tests.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who are familiar with New Jersey's Core Curriculum Content Standards and state assessments. Whether your student is working toward proficiency on NJSLA exams, preparing for AP courses, or building skills in core subjects, tutors can align instruction with what Jersey City schools expect and what the state requires.

In the first session, your tutor will assess your student's current level, understand their specific goals, and learn about any challenges they're facing in their Jersey City school. This helps the tutor create a personalized plan that targets exactly what your student needs—whether it's homework support, test prep, or skill building in a particular subject.

Varsity Tutors offers tutoring across all major subjects—including math, reading, writing, science, social studies, and foreign languages. We also support test preparation for SAT, ACT, and AP exams, as well as subject-specific help for courses like algebra, geometry, biology, and U.S. history that Jersey City students commonly take.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have subject expertise and teaching experience. Many have backgrounds in education, hold degrees in their subject areas, or have proven success helping students improve academically. All tutors are vetted to ensure they can provide high-quality, personalized instruction aligned with what Jersey City students need.

Varsity Tutors offers flexible pricing options based on the tutor's expertise, subject, and your student's needs. We work with families to find solutions that fit different budgets. Contact us for a personalized quote and to discuss what works best for your situation.

Getting started is simple—tell us about your student's grade level, subject needs, and goals, and we'll match them with a qualified tutor. You can then schedule your first session at a time that works for your family. Our process is designed to connect you quickly so your student can start getting the support they need.
