Antoine
Arithmetic Tutor • +17 Subjects
My name is Antoine, and I love teaching. I first garnered my love for teaching through the organization 4-H, which uses non-traditional teaching methods, namely experiential learning. I love planning and implementing fun educational workshops in any subject, but especially those I'm passionate about.I have taught courses in music, leadership, biology, through formal settings, and numerous other subjects in a non-traditional settings. I substitute teach, particularly math subjects, but am flexible in which subjects I will approach. I love when I get to substitute and actually continue a lesson for a series of classes, and not just give busy work for them to do until their teacher returns the next day.Tutoring is fun because I get to connect with a student on their level and make the subject matter relevant to them; no matter how frivolous they've determined it to be. I believe everyone has the capacity to learn, so I always take the proper care and time to foster that within all students.

I am a recent graduate of Harvard College. I've been working with middle school and high school age children for the past several years and feel very comfortable communicating with students that age. I was a history major in college, but I'd be happy to help out with middle school and early high school math, as well as any help needed with writing or humanities-related courses. Also available for standardized test prep help!

Margaret
ACT English Tutor • +38 Subjects
I graduated with summa cum laude from the Honors Program at Fordham University with a B.S. in Psychology with minors in Political Science, Spanish, and History. I have a wide variety of past tutoring experience starting when I was quite young. For the past four years I have worked as a peer tutor through the Higher Education Opportunity Program at Fordham as well as a tutor for elementary-high school students at a private tutoring center in the Bronx. While studying in Spain last year, I was able to work as an English instructor in a bilingual high school in Granada. I also worked through the Americorps program Jumpstart! to built literacy skills in younger children. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, Spanish, and History. I absolutely love helping students improve their writing abilities from the planning stages to editing their essays. Standardized testing, while not something most students look forward to, seems to be one of the areas in which we can see the most timely and remarkable improvements in skill. I feel very strongly about education and will likely enter a PhD program combining Psychology and Pubic Policy to work on education reform next year. I hope to impart some of my own excitement about learning to all the students I have the opportunity to work with. When I'm not at work at my job as the project director on a study on sleep and academic performance in adolescents, I love to read and spend time outdoors, hiking, and enjoying nature.

College English Tutor • +8 Subjects
Teaching is and always has been an important part of my life. I am currently a second grade teacher, but I have worked in many different settings with various types of students including children with behavioral, emotional, and learning difficulties as well as gifted and talented students. I have also tutored several students over the past few years in math, reading, and writing. I enjoy tutoring because it allows for the instruction to be tailored towards a student's specific needs. It's a great way to help a child succeed!
Michael
ACT Math Tutor • +17 Subjects
Hello! I am a recent graduate from the University of Texas at Austin where I studied nutrition and sociology, and conducted immunology and cancer research. I'm currently in the process of applying to medical school and am taking a gap year to work and spend time with my family. Science and math have always been my favorite subjects. I am particularly interested in chemistry, biology, and algebra because of how interconnected these topics are with one another. I have successfully taken many advanced biology and chemistry courses including genetics, human physiology, biochemistry, organic chemistry, and more; I have also excelled in multiple areas of mathematics such as algebra, pre-calculus, trigonometry, and calculus.Teaching and tutoring others has always been a passion of mine; throughout my undergraduate career, I helped many of my peers understand course material by hosting group study sessions or meeting with them individually. I love helping others explore different learning styles and breaking down concepts in ways that make them easier to understand. Between maintaining straight A's, scoring in the 91st percentile in the Chem/Phys portion of my MCAT, and nurturing my scientific curiosities through my research, I have cultivated the skills needed to teach others in a way that is tailored to them.Testing and studying are individual to each of us - what works for one person may not work for another - so I can work with you to create a plan that is personalized to your strengths and weaknesses. In addition, I am more than happy to help you understand your course material, assist with test taking strategies, and share my own tips, materials, and methods that helped me throughout my academic career. Regardless of which stage you are at in your studies, I'd love to help you achieve your goal.

Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects
I'm a recent graduate from the University of Georgia with a B.S. in Chemistry. During my undergraduate career, I've tutored a multitude of students, primarily in a one-on-one setting. In the past, I've been certified to teach chemistry and physics classes by a prestigious test preparation company.I absolutely love teaching mathematics, chemistry and physics. But unfortunately, these are subjects that a lot of students have real difficulty in. I've discovered that I have a knack for explaining difficult mathematical/physical science concepts, so that virtually anyone can understand the material at hand. Real world examples in conjunction with visual aides seem to make my students' understanding soar.When I'm not teaching, I enjoy playing golf- Just don't ask me to tutor you in golf!
Stephanie
Biology Tutor • +11 Subjects
I have long been fascinated by biology - plants, mushrooms, insects - and have always sought to figure out how life works. While pursuing my biology interest in high school, I was introduced to the fantastic world of laboratory work, microbiology, and genetics. I pursued laboratory opportunities and began building the skills needed to get involved in genetic engineering projects while completing my BS in molecular biology at Loyola University Chicago. After my undergraduate career, I stayed on at Loyola in order to pursue an opportunity in a molecular biology lab studying bacterial viruses (phage). I went on to complete my MS in biology having written my thesis on experiments wherein I genetically modified phage populations.I tutored for a variety of biology topics as well as organic chemistry for four years at Loyola. Further, I taught biology laboratory course for five semesters while completing my Master's. I have found few other opportunities to be as engaging or as rewarding as being able to pass on my understanding of my favorite subject, biology, to others. As I continue tutoring students, I hope to continue to cultivating my unique teaching style and to pass on my enthusiasm for the science of life.
Brea
ACT Prep Tutor • +16 Subjects
I am a graduate of Grand Valley State University, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Education with a minor in Psychology. I'm currently finishing my masters at The University of Chicago in Analytics. Between undergrad and graduate school, I spent 4 years teaching math in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. I still keep up with my former students, and am always a zoom call away if they ever need my help. I've taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II and Pre-Calc in the classroom setting, and have experience tutoring a range of subjects including Calculus and Statistics at the college level. I have extensive experience with ACT and SAT prep, as I ran ACT and SAT Bootcamps at the high school I taught at. I am passionate about teaching and understand that students have a variety of learning styles. I'm an energetic math teacher who loves to help students increase their motivation. As part of tutoring, I like to help students strengthen their problem solving skills, and help them know what to do when they feel stuck.

Frequently Asked Questions
Seventh grade is a transition year where students encounter increased complexity across subjects and greater expectations for independent work. Common challenges include:
- Math struggles – Moving from basic arithmetic to pre-algebra concepts like variables, equations, and negative numbers
- Reading comprehension – Tackling longer texts, analyzing themes, and supporting ideas with evidence
- Organization and study skills – Managing multiple classes, deadlines, and more rigorous assignments
- Writing mechanics – Writing longer essays with proper structure, grammar, and citation
- Social-emotional adjustment – Adapting to a larger school environment while academic demands increase
Personalized after-school instruction targets these specific pain points, helping students build confidence and close gaps before they widen.
In a classroom of 20-30 students, teachers must pace instruction for the whole group and have limited time for individual questions. After-school personalized instruction works differently:
- Customized pacing – Tutors adjust speed and depth based on your student's understanding, not a set curriculum timeline
- Targeted skill-building – Sessions focus on your student's specific gaps rather than covering material broadly
- Immediate feedback – Tutors identify misconceptions right away and clarify them before bad habits form
- Learning style alignment – Instruction methods match how your student learns best, whether visual, hands-on, or discussion-based
- Safe space for questions – Students often feel more comfortable asking "basic" questions one-on-one than raising their hand in class
This focused attention typically leads to faster skill development and improved confidence across subjects.
A strong after-school tutor for 7th graders combines subject expertise with understanding of how middle schoolers learn:
- Subject mastery – Deep knowledge of middle school curriculum (math, language arts, science, social studies) so they can answer questions and adapt explanations
- Age-appropriate communication – Ability to explain concepts without talking down to students; uses humor and real-world examples to maintain engagement
- Patience and encouragement – Recognizes that 7th graders are building confidence; celebrates effort and progress, not just correct answers
- Diagnostic skills – Can identify the root cause of struggles (e.g., "She doesn't understand fractions" vs. "She's struggling with the algebra application of fractions")
- Organizational support – Helps students develop study habits, time management, and systems for tracking assignments
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who bring all these qualities, ensuring personalized instruction that actually resonates with 7th graders.
Most students show noticeable improvements in 4-6 weeks of consistent after-school sessions, though the timeline depends on the gap being addressed and session frequency.
- Quick wins (2-4 weeks) – Confidence boost, better homework completion, improved class participation
- Skill-level changes (4-8 weeks) – Grade improvements on quizzes and tests, stronger understanding of key concepts
- Foundational shifts (8-12 weeks+) – Addressing significant gaps from earlier grades or building fluency in complex skills like multi-step problem-solving
Consistency matters more than duration. Students who meet weekly with their tutor typically progress faster than those meeting sporadically. The right tutor will also track progress and adjust the focus as your student improves, ensuring sessions remain productive and targeted.
Personalized tutoring for 7th graders covers the full range of middle school academics:
- Math – Pre-algebra, working with fractions and decimals, intro to variables, equations, and rational numbers
- Language Arts – Reading comprehension, writing essays, grammar, vocabulary, and literary analysis
- Science – Life science, physical science, earth science, and scientific method depending on your school's curriculum
- Social Studies – World history, civics, geography, and critical thinking about historical events
- Study skills & organization – Note-taking, time management, test prep, and homework strategies across all subjects
Whether your student needs help in one subject or support across multiple areas, tutors can focus on whatever will have the biggest positive impact on their grades and confidence.
Yes. When you connect with a tutor through Varsity Tutors, you can share your student's school, current units, and specific assignments. Effective tutors use this information to:
- Reinforce concepts being taught in class (not duplicate it, but deepen understanding)
- Help with homework and specific assignments aligned to what's being studied
- Bridge gaps in foundational skills that are blocking progress in current units
- Prepare for unit tests and quizzes using your student's actual curriculum materials
This alignment means tutoring directly supports classroom success rather than feeling like disconnected extra work. It also makes tutoring more efficient—your student isn't learning concepts one way at school and another way at tutoring.
Yes, personalized after-school instruction directly supports grade improvement by addressing the specific skills and concepts your student is struggling with. Here's how it typically works:
- Homework support – Students complete assignments with stronger understanding, leading to better grades on classwork
- Concept mastery – Focused tutoring fills gaps that hurt test performance, improving quiz and exam scores
- Confidence and participation – As understanding grows, many 7th graders become more willing to participate in class, which teachers often factor into grades
- Better study habits – Tutors teach strategies for independent learning, which helps students succeed beyond tutoring sessions
The amount of improvement varies based on how consistently your student attends, the specific challenges being addressed, and how much effort they put in between sessions. Students who actively engage in tutoring and practice skills at home typically see the most meaningful grade gains.
