Simon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects
I am dedicated to helping both struggling and thriving students excel in the subject in question. While I will work closely with my tutees, I will never just tell them how to answer a problem. Making sure the student is able to solve the problem on his own and understand why this method of solution works is how the subjects can be mastered. Hobbies: writing, books, music, art, sports, reading

I am most passionate about tutoring Political Science, History, and Math, with significant experience in helping students in each of these subject areas.

Mary
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a 2014 graduate of Cornell University's College of Engineering where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Biological Engineering. I have just begun my Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering at Drexel University. My favorite subjects to tutor include Test Prep and elementary/middle school subjects. I enjoy helping younger students so that they can be excited about learning and begin their education with a solid foundation in reading, writing, and mathematics. I believe it is important to provide students with the proper tools to succeed at a young age so that they continue to have a desire to learn for the rest of their lives. I loved my college experience and want to show high school students that with practice and diligence, they too can perform well on standardized tests and go on to the university of their choosing. To accomplish academic goals at any level, it is important for the student to have fun while learning! I personalize my teaching approach to fit the student's learning style so that he or she can easily transition from learning a concept to applying it to a given problem. The greatest reward is seeing the smile on a student's face when a topic "clicks".
Wamweni
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania pursuing a Masters in International Educational Development. I graduated from Stetson University with my BA in 2017, and since then have worked in inner city schools. The last two years, I have taught Algebra and Geometry at a charter high school, while managing a math tutorial program within the school. I find great joy is setting students up for success and helping them achieve the utmost in school. I do not only focus on student academic performance, but also on their social-emotional well-being, so they may attain a positive mindset of their day-to-day learning. I have 10 years experience working with elementary kids, including assisting with homeschooling. However, I am more passionate about helping students understand higher levels of mathematics. I am a believer in quality education, that's why I make sure to create an engaging learning environment for my students.

Frequently Asked Questions
Varsity Tutors connects students across Johnstown's 21 schools and 6 school districts with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in the Greater Johnstown area or one of the surrounding districts, we match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum and Pennsylvania academic standards.
Students in Johnstown frequently seek support in math, English/language arts, and science—subjects that are critical for meeting Pennsylvania standards and preparing for state assessments. We also work with students on standardized test prep, including the SAT and ACT, as well as AP courses for high school students looking to strengthen their college applications.
Pennsylvania has specific learning standards for each grade level and subject area, and personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps students master these benchmarks at their own pace. Tutors work with students on the exact skills and concepts their schools are teaching, filling gaps and building confidence so they can succeed in the classroom and on state assessments.
The first session focuses on understanding your student's goals, current challenges, and learning style. The tutor will assess where your student stands academically, discuss what they're working on in their Johnstown school classes, and create a personalized plan to address specific areas where they need support.
