1st Grade Math Tutor • +63 Subjects

I am currently a fourth grade special educator providing support in primarily math, reading and writing. I also work as a reading interventionist with the Leveled Literacy Intervention program as well as Sonday for students who benefited from multisensory reading instruction.I graduated in June 2004 from Columbia High School, in May 2008 from Rutgers College with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, in May 2009 with a Master's Degree in Education and have dual certification in elementary education (K-5) and middle school mathematics (6-8). I returned to school at Kean University to get my Teacher of Students with Disabilities certification which I completed in 2013.Working with students with special needs means working with learners with widely varying abilities. I design creative, stimulating lesson plans that accommodate multiple intelligences, bring a hands-on approach to learning, and keep students interested and focused. I encourage student learning by using a number of hands on activities, including the use of manipulatives, and by incorporating technology into my lessons.

I love bringing the sense of fun and freedom, along with many of the techniques and practices I learned in creative writing classrooms into my work with students.

ACT English Tutor • +20 Subjects

I have a holistic view in terms of tutoring and teaching. All students learn in different ways such as visually, kinetically, auditorily, and other ways. I am committed to finding the best way to help my student learn the material even if it means going above and beyond the call of duty.Personally, I am a Psychology and Gender Studies double major graduating in May 2017. After that, I will be attending a masters program in mental health counseling and eventually going on to get my doctorate in clinical psychology.My skills include time management, test-taking skills, writing aid, reading comprehension, verbal and reading skills, and test preparation.

Ari

Algebra Tutor • +60 Subjects

I am a graduate of a school in northwest Pennsylvania with a degree in Biochemistry & Piano Performance and plan on attending Medical School in the near future. In my four years there, I was selected by the department chairs to be the designated tutor for Mathematics (Precalculus to Calculus 3), Organic and General Chemistry, Biology (Cellular, Molecular, Developmental, and Genetics), and Physics, each for minimum of one year. The reason I agreed to tutor again and again each year they approached me is because I simply loved it. It is hard to describe the wonderful feeling of seeing a student you helped master the material in front of you and run through problems like they're nothing. My favorite question since childhood has been "why?". I was never a fan of just memorizing facts, because not only do you not really understand the material, but you are likely to forget it. That principle has transitioned over to my tutoring style. We start from the most basic, simplest core of the concept. Once we understand that, we slowly work our way up until you understand even the most difficult concepts..soon you're able to tell me the reason for every variable in the Schrdinger equation. Sometimes my students also develop a passion for knowing why and I love it. I'm not a tutor automaton though; my other hobbies/passions include piano, weight lifting, classical music (and concerts), composition, and environmental activism. In addition to tutoring, I've spent time in my institution as the head of research regarding nuclear import receptors via the genetic engineering of yeast to express the human AR receptor and the transformation and construction of plasmids.

Sheila

Elementary School Math Tutor • +11 Subjects

I am a proud graduate of Grambling State University in Grambling, LA. I received my Bachelors Degree in Computer Science. I have always loved working with children. I was a Bible Study teacher and coordinator for over 25 years. At one point in my career, I took a break from my technology career to pursue a career in education. I successfully completed several classes at Touro University in California. I started working as a substitute teacher in 2000. I taught students from elementary to high school. I received so much positive compliments from the staff until one day I was offered a position as a high school Math teacher. I taught Algebra I and Geometry for about 3 years until I became a single parent. Unfortunately, I had to leave teaching and go back into technology to support myself and my three children. Now that my children are grown, I am looking into going back into education in my spare time. I am starting out by tutoring. I also have accepted a position to teach children 6-12 years old (reading) in China online. I also plan to go back to school to pursue degree in education. I have always loved working with students and have often been told that this is my calling/gift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Trenton's 9 school districts with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Trenton Public Schools district or one of the surrounding districts, we can match them with a tutor who understands New Jersey's curriculum standards and can provide targeted help in their specific subject areas.

Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly effective for helping students master New Jersey's rigorous standards. With a 13.2:1 average student-teacher ratio in Trenton schools, many students benefit from the focused attention a tutor provides to fill gaps and accelerate learning in subjects like math, English language arts, and science. Tutors can align their instruction with your student's specific curriculum and state assessment requirements.

Students in Trenton seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, with strong demand for math (algebra, geometry, and test prep), English language arts, science, and standardized test preparation like the SAT and ACT. We also connect students with tutors for AP courses, New Jersey high school exit exams, and subject-specific support to meet grade-level expectations.

The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their current strengths, challenges, learning style, and specific goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically and discuss how personalized instruction can address gaps or accelerate progress. From there, you'll work together to create a tailored plan that fits your student's needs and your family's timeline.

Many students show noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the subject, starting point, and frequency of sessions. Research on 1-on-1 instruction shows significant gains when students receive regular, focused support. Your tutor will track progress and adjust the approach as needed to keep your student moving forward.

Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who offer flexible scheduling to fit busy school days and extracurricular activities. Whether your student needs support after school, on weekends, or during the summer, we can find a tutor who works with your family's schedule.

We match students based on their specific subject needs, learning goals, and the tutor's expertise in that area. Tutors working with Trenton students are familiar with New Jersey's academic standards and can provide instruction that directly supports what students are learning in their classrooms. We take care of the matching process so you can focus on your student's progress.

We offer flexible tutoring options at various price points to meet different family budgets. The cost depends on factors like the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We recommend starting with a conversation about your needs and budget—we can help you find a tutoring plan that works for your family while providing the quality instruction your student deserves.
