I'm just not very good at it." People tend to not be very excited about topics that they don't understand. Teachers and grades have been making them feel bad whenever they come to class, and there is nothing more frustrating than studying for hours and still not getting any concept. These sorts of t...

Ariela
12th Grade math Tutor • +41 Subjects
I am good at test taking, is my ability to organize information. It's a skill I use both in my academic life, as well as professionally; as a stage manager, it is often my job to take in complicated and conflicting pieces of information (the blocking, a quick change in costumes, changes in a script) and quickly organize that information so that I can convey it to someone else. I enjoy and excel at condensing and re-communicating facts or tasks, so that they become comprehensible to someone who may not understand them the first time around. Hobbies: art, books, photography, reading, music, writing
Gabriel
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +50 Subjects
I am studying to get my PhD at the University of Chicago. I have extensive experience teaching and tutoring a variety of ages and subjects (in particular, I have the most experience tutoring for the PSAT, SAT and college admissions essays, as well as math, English literature and Spanish to middle school students). My favorite subject to tutor is Math because it was my favorite as a child and adolescent. I love interacting and getting to know those students with whom I work because I believe that having a good connection and feeling comfortable is a key first step in a successful tutoring relationship. I enjoy walking all over the city and reading (often at the same time), as well as running, sports of all kinds, and coffee over a good conversation.
Marjorie
Calculus Tutor • +42 Subjects
I am eager to help students prepare for college applications, including mastering standardized tests, college essays, and study strategies. I am also driven to teach young students to become better overall writers and critical readers as these skills will affect all facets of their educational career. My ultimate goal, however, is to go beyond the material a student is currently struggling with by teaching them how to successfully identify and address areas that need improvement. The ability to teach one's self efficiently and effectively is a skill that will be invaluable throughout their entire lives.

Calculus Tutor • +46 Subjects
I'm comfortable tutoring on a number of subjects, I particularly enjoy teaching English, writing, and critical reading. I like working one on one with students, helping them to think through problems, formulate opinions, and articulate their thoughts. This involves working on vocabulary, grammar, and writing mechanics. These are invaluable skills, essential for writing essays and preparing for Standardized Tests, like the SAT.
Greg
12th Grade math Tutor • +44 Subjects
I am a rising junior at Vanderbilt University studying chemical engineering and mathematics. Throughout high school, I tutored both individuals and groups in a variety of subjects including algebra and physics. At Vanderbilt, I've had the opportunity to teach at local Nashville elementary and middle schools as part of Vanderbilt Student Volunteers for Science. I am passionate about tutoring math and science, and even though these subjects are often considered "dry," the right teaching style can spark any student's interest. When it comes to standardized test preparation, I've found that knowing the intricacies of a test can improve a student's score just as much as knowing the subject material can. Different students learn in different ways but that kind of personal attention is difficult to provide in a classroom. With one on one tutoring sessions, any student can excel, even in the subjects he or she has the most trouble in. When I tutor a student, my first goal is to figure out the best way to teach this individual, as no single style can suit everybody. In my free time, I enjoy playing volleyball, watching football and soccer, exercising, and reading about modern science and new technology.
Rebecca
10th Grade math Tutor • +54 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelors of Arts in English and Philosophy. At Notre Dame, I worked as a tutor at the University Writing Center, helping both undergraduate and graduate students with their writing. I also tutored local middle school students in reading and writing to prepare them for standardized tests. I had the opportunity to live in Spain for 6 months, where I became fluent in Spanish and developed a love for tutoring English language learners. Since graduation, I have worked with students at Midtown Educational Foundation and other extracurricular programs, and am currently pursuing a Masters of Arts in Teaching English. I tutor a wide range of subjects, although I am most passionate about English, Spanish, and Writing. I am an advocate of student-centered tutoring, and my goal is to support and guide students so that they have the satisfaction and confidence of knowing how to think through a problem and reach the correct answer. In my free time, I love to bake, read, play soccer, and act in plays.
Hasan
8th Grade math Tutor • +97 Subjects
I am a graduate of Brown University, where I earned my B.A. in Literary Arts and Visual Arts, taking courses in a wide array of subjects ranging from contemporary American fiction to ancient Indian classics. My first teaching experience came in college when I had the privilege of creating and teaching a series of literature courses at a local community center. There are few experiences I find more enriching than facilitating a meaningful dialogue centered around great works of literature and art. While literature and art are my passion, I also tutor in variety of other subjects, including math, science, and test preparation. I currently work as a lead teacher in the after-school program at Archway Classical Academy in Phoenix.
Julie
12th Grade math Tutor • +83 Subjects
I am a rising junior at Princeton University pursuing a Bachelors of Arts in Philosophy with a certificate in Statistics and Machine Learning. I am highly passionate about education: during the academic year, I serve as a volunteer tutor for the Petey Greene Program, which provides educational assistance to those incarcerated in New Jersey prisons; after graduation, I hope to work toward becoming a high school mathematics teacher. This summer, I am interning part-time at IntegrateNYC4me, a nonprofit that seeks to integrate New York schools. I believe that quality educational opportunities should be accessible to all, and I hope to dedicate my career toward realizing this vision!
Ben
12th Grade math Tutor • +49 Subjects
I am an undergraduate student at the University of Pennsylvania. I have been tutoring for over 6 years now, and I have found it to be an extremely rewarding and enjoyable experience. I specialize in mathematics, particularly at the high school level, and I also have experience tutoring other subjects. I also have done SAT prep for the mathematics section of the New SAT and am very familiar with the recent changes to the exam. My belief is that everyone is capable of learning with enough time, explanation, and practice, and I hope to pass this on to all the students I work with. For this reason, I believe in teaching students how to think and problem solve, rather than just having them memorize patterns or facts. Hobbies: reading, music, writing, art, books
Victoria
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am well schooled in academic writing and reading comprehension; furthermore, I have honed my ability to write pointed, direct essays for both applications and classes. After studying French in high school, I went on to spend over six months in France working on archaeological excavations. As a previous educator for high school students, I am versed in different learning styles and can't wait to work with more. It sounds trite, but it's true--I love teaching, and consider it both a privilege and a real pleasure. I look forward to helping more students achieve their academic goals!

Frequently Asked Questions
10th grade represents a critical transition year where students often juggle increasing academic demands across multiple subjects while managing social pressures and extracurricular commitments. Common challenges include struggling with algebraic concepts and geometry foundations, developing strong writing and analytical skills, managing time effectively across subjects, and maintaining motivation when coursework becomes more complex.
Personalized tutoring addresses these challenges by identifying each student's specific gaps and building targeted strategies. Rather than moving at a class pace, tutors work with students to strengthen foundational skills, develop better study habits, and build confidence in challenging areas—whether that's math, English, science, or social studies.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand typical 10th grade standards and can work with your student's specific curriculum, whether they're following state standards, AP courses, honors tracks, or alternative programs. Effective tutors start by reviewing your student's current coursework, recent assignments, and upcoming assessments to ensure instruction builds directly on what's being taught in class.
This alignment means tutoring reinforces classroom learning rather than introducing disconnected material. Tutors can help students tackle challenging assignments, prepare for unit tests, and develop deeper understanding of concepts their teacher introduced—creating a complementary support system that accelerates progress.
While all subjects matter, 10th graders typically benefit most from strong support in math (especially the transition to geometry or Algebra II) and English/Language Arts (developing analytical writing and reading comprehension skills). These foundational subjects impact performance across other courses and set the foundation for junior and senior year coursework, including AP and honors classes.
That said, the most important focus area depends on your individual student's strengths, weaknesses, and goals. Some students need support in science to prepare for AP courses, while others benefit from help with history writing or foreign language fluency. Personalized tutoring allows you to target exactly where your student needs support most.
In a classroom of 25-30 students, teachers must work at an average pace that can leave advanced students unchallenged or struggling students behind. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction, by contrast, moves at your student's pace, focuses exclusively on their learning style and needs, and allows tutors to immediately identify and address misunderstandings rather than moving forward with gaps.
Research on personalized learning shows that 1-on-1 instruction significantly accelerates progress because every minute is spent on what the student actually needs—whether that's extra practice on a specific skill, deeper exploration of complex concepts, or building confidence in weaker areas. This targeted approach typically produces measurable improvement faster than classroom instruction alone.
Measurable outcomes depend on your student's starting point and goals, but students typically see improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring. Common results include improved grades on tests and assignments, stronger understanding of challenging concepts, better completion of homework, increased confidence in class participation, and stronger study skills they apply across all subjects.
For students targeting specific goals—like improving a grade from B to A, raising a test score by 10-15%, or preparing for sophomore-year honors or AP courses—tutors develop targeted plans with clear milestones. Progress is best when students commit to regular sessions (typically 1-2 per week) and apply strategies outside tutoring sessions as well.
Excellent 10th grade tutors combine deep subject knowledge with strong teaching ability and genuine interest in adolescent development. They understand the 10th grade curriculum, recognize where students typically struggle, and can explain complex concepts in multiple ways until the student truly understands rather than just memorizes.
Beyond expertise, great tutors build rapport with students, understand what motivates individual teenagers, adapt their approach based on student feedback, and help develop metacognitive skills—teaching students to think about how they think and solve problems independently. They balance encouragement with high expectations, helping students push past self-doubt while building genuine competence.
The first step is connecting with Varsity Tutors to discuss your student's specific needs—whether they're struggling with a particular subject, preparing for standardized tests, taking on more advanced coursework, or building stronger study habits. Share information about current grades, learning challenges, and goals so we can match you with a tutor who's experienced with students in similar situations.
Once you're matched with a tutor, the first session focuses on assessment and relationship-building. The tutor learns about your student's learning style, identifies specific gaps, and collaboratively develops a plan for how tutoring will help achieve your goals. From there, you'll see progress tracked through improved grades, test scores, and student confidence.
